tcent@Matthew:8:17 @ This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

tcent@Matthew:8:18 @ Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.

tcent@Matthew:8:19 @ Then a certain scribe came and said to him, »Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.«

tcent@Matthew:8:20 @ And Jesus said to him, »Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.«

tcent@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of the disciples said to him, »Lord, let me first go and bury my father.«

tcent@Matthew:8:22 @ But Jesus said to him, »Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.«

tcent@Matthew:8:23 @ And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

tcent@Matthew:8:24 @ And behold, a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But he was asleep.

tcent@Matthew:8:25 @ The disciples went and woke him, saying, »Lord, save us! We are perishing!«

tcent@Matthew:8:26 @ And he said to them, »Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?« Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

tcent@Matthew:8:27 @ And the men marveled, saying, »What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?«

tcent@Matthew:8:28 @ When he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

tcent@Matthew:8:29 @ And behold, they cried out, »What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?«

tcent@Matthew:8:30 @ Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them.

tcent@Matthew:8:31 @ And the demons begged him, »If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.«

tcent@Matthew:8:32 @ And he said to them, »Go.« So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the water.

tcent@Matthew:8:33 @ Then those who kept them fled, and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

tcent@Matthew:8:34 @ And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

tcent@Matthew:9:1 @ And getting into a boat, he crossed over and came to his own city.

tcent@Matthew:9:2 @ And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, »Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.«

tcent@Matthew:9:3 @ And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, »This man is blaspheming!«

tcent@Matthew:9:4 @ But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, »Why do you think evil in your hearts?

tcent@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?

tcent@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins«—he then said to the paralytic—»Rise, take up your bed and go home.«

tcent@Matthew:9:7 @ And he rose and went home.

tcent@Matthew:9:8 @ When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

tcent@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, »Follow me.« And he rose and followed him.

tcent@Matthew:9:10 @ And as Jesus sat at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

tcent@Matthew:9:11 @ And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, »Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?«

tcent@Matthew:9:12 @ But when Jesus heard it, he said, »Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

tcent@Matthew:9:13 @ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.«

tcent@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, »Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?«

tcent@Matthew:9:15 @ And Jesus said to them, »Can the guests of the bridegroom mourn as long as he is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

tcent@Matthew:9:16 @ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

tcent@Matthew:9:17 @ Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins; if they do, the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and so both are preserved.«

tcent@Matthew:9:18 @ While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came and knelt before him, saying, »My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and she will live.«

tcent@Matthew:9:19 @ So Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples.

tcent@Matthew:9:20 @ And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment.

tcent@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, »If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well.«

tcent@Matthew:9:22 @ Jesus turned, and when he saw her he said, »Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.« And the woman was made well from that moment.

tcent@Matthew:9:23 @ When Jesus came to the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd,

tcent@Matthew:9:24 @ he said, »Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.« And they laughed at him.

tcent@Matthew:9:25 @ But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

tcent@Matthew:9:26 @ And the report of this went through all that region.

tcent@Matthew:9:27 @ And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, »Have mercy on us, Son of David.«

tcent@Matthew:9:28 @ When he had entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, »Do you believe that I am able to do this?« They said to him, »Yes, Lord.«

tcent@Matthew:9:29 @ Then he touched their eyes, saying, »According to your faith be it done to you.«

tcent@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, »See that no one knows it.«

tcent@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.

tcent@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going out, behold, a mute and demon-possessed man was brought to him.

tcent@Matthew:9:33 @ And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, »Never was anything like this seen in Israel.«

tcent@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, »He casts out demons by the prince of demons.«

tcent@Matthew:9:35 @ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

tcent@Matthew:9:36 @ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

tcent@Matthew:9:37 @ Then he said to his disciples, »The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

tcent@Matthew:9:38 @ Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.«

tcent@Matthew:10:1 @ And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.

tcent@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

tcent@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

tcent@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

tcent@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them: »Do not go among the Gentiles, or enter any town of the Samaritans.

tcent@Matthew:10:6 @ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

tcent@Matthew:10:7 @ And preach as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

tcent@Matthew:10:8 @ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

tcent@Matthew:10:9 @ Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts,

tcent@Matthew:10:10 @ nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the worker is worthy of his food.

tcent@Matthew:10:11 @ Now whatever village or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out.

tcent@Matthew:10:12 @ As you enter the house, give it your greeting.

tcent@Matthew:10:13 @ And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

tcent@Matthew:10:14 @ And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.

tcent@Matthew:10:15 @ Truly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

tcent@Matthew:10:16 @ »Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

tcent@Matthew:10:17 @ But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and flog you in their synagogues.

tcent@Matthew:10:18 @ You will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

tcent@Matthew:10:19 @ But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;

tcent@Matthew:10:20 @ for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

tcent@Matthew:10:21 @ Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

tcent@Matthew:10:22 @ And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

tcent@Matthew:10:23 @ When they persecute you in one city, flee to another. For truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

tcent@Matthew:10:24 @ »A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

tcent@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

tcent@Matthew:10:26 @ »So do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

tcent@Matthew:10:27 @ What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.

tcent@Matthew:10:28 @ And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

tcent@Matthew:10:29 @ Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

tcent@Matthew:10:30 @ But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

tcent@Matthew:10:31 @ Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

tcent@Matthew:10:32 @ »Therefore whoever acknowledges me before men, him I will also acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:10:34 @ »Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

tcent@Matthew:10:35 @ For I have come

tcent@Matthew:10:36" />

tcent@Matthew:10:37 @ 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;

tcent@Matthew:10:38 @ and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

tcent@Matthew:10:39 @ He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

tcent@Matthew:10:40 @ »He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

tcent@Matthew:10:41 @ He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

tcent@Matthew:10:42 @ And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.«

tcent@Matthew:11:1 @ And when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

tcent@Matthew:11:2 @ Now when John heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples

tcent@Matthew:11:3 @ and said to him, »Are you the One who is to come, or shall we look for another?«

tcent@Matthew:11:4 @ And Jesus answered them, »Go and tell John what you hear and see:

tcent@Matthew:11:5 @ the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

tcent@Matthew:11:6 @ And blessed is he who is not offended because of me.«

tcent@Matthew:11:7 @ As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: »What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

tcent@Matthew:11:8 @ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

tcent@Matthew:11:9 @ Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

tcent@Matthew:11:10 @ For this is he of whom it is written:

tcent@Matthew:11:11 @ Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

tcent@Matthew:11:12 @ From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force.

tcent@Matthew:11:13 @ For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

tcent@Matthew:11:14 @ And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who is to come.

tcent@Matthew:11:15 @ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

tcent@Matthew:11:16 @ »But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

tcent@Matthew:11:17" />

tcent@Matthew:11:18 @ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

tcent@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her deeds.«

tcent@Matthew:11:20 @ Then he began to rebuke the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

tcent@Matthew:11:21 @ »Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

tcent@Matthew:11:22 @ But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

tcent@Matthew:11:23 @ And you, Capernaum,

tcent@Matthew:11:24 @ But I tell you that it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.«

tcent@Matthew:11:25 @ At that time Jesus declared, »I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to babes.

tcent@Matthew:11:26 @ Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

tcent@Matthew:11:27 @ »All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

tcent@Matthew:11:28 @ Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

tcent@Matthew:11:29 @ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

tcent@Matthew:11:30 @ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.«

tcent@Matthew:12:1 @ At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

tcent@Matthew:12:2 @ But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, »Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.«

tcent@Matthew:12:3 @ He said to them, »Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him:

tcent@Matthew:12:4 @ how he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

tcent@Matthew:12:5 @ Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are innocent?

tcent@Matthew:12:6 @ I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.

tcent@Matthew:12:7 @ And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.

tcent@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.«

tcent@Matthew:12:9 @ And he went on from there, and went into their synagogue.

tcent@Matthew:12:10 @ And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. And they asked him, »Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?« so that they might accuse him.

tcent@Matthew:12:11 @ He said to them, »What man of you, if he has one sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

tcent@Matthew:12:12 @ Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.«

tcent@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man, »Stretch out your hand.« And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

tcent@Matthew:12:14 @ But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him, how they might destroy him.

tcent@Matthew:12:15 @ Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all,

tcent@Matthew:12:16 @ and ordered them not to make him known.

tcent@Matthew:12:17 @ This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

tcent@Matthew:12:18" />

tcent@Matthew:12:19" />

tcent@Matthew:12:20" />

tcent@Matthew:12:21" />

tcent@Matthew:12:22 @ Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and he healed him, so that the mute man both spoke and saw.

tcent@Matthew:12:23 @ And all the people were amazed and said, »Could this be the Son of David?«

tcent@Matthew:12:24 @ But when the Pharisees heard this they said, »It is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.«

tcent@Matthew:12:25 @ Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, »Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

tcent@Matthew:12:26 @ If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

tcent@Matthew:12:27 @ And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

tcent@Matthew:12:28 @ But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

tcent@Matthew:12:29 @ Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

tcent@Matthew:12:30 @ He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.

tcent@Matthew:12:31 @ Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

tcent@Matthew:12:32 @ Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

tcent@Matthew:12:33 @ »Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

tcent@Matthew:12:34 @ You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

tcent@Matthew:12:35 @ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

tcent@Matthew:12:36 @ But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

tcent@Matthew:12:37 @ For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.«

tcent@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, »Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.«

tcent@Matthew:12:39 @ But he answered them, »An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

tcent@Matthew:12:40 @ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

tcent@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.

tcent@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

tcent@Matthew:12:43 @ »When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

tcent@Matthew:12:44 @ Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

tcent@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.«

tcent@Matthew:12:46 @ While he was still talking to the people, behold, his mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

tcent@Matthew:12:47 @ Someone told him, »Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.«

tcent@Matthew:12:48 @ But he replied to the man who told him, »Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?«

tcent@Matthew:12:49 @ And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, »Here are my mother and my brothers!

tcent@Matthew:12:50 @ For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.«

tcent@Matthew:13:1 @ That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

tcent@Matthew:13:2 @ And great crowds gathered around him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the shore.

tcent@Matthew:13:3 @ Then he told them many things in parables, saying: »A sower went out to sow his seed.

tcent@Matthew:13:4 @ And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

tcent@Matthew:13:5 @ Some fell on rocky places, where they did not have much soil, and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of soil.

tcent@Matthew:13:6 @ But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

tcent@Matthew:13:7 @ Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

tcent@Matthew:13:8 @ But other seed fell on good soil and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

tcent@Matthew:13:9 @ He who has ears, let him hear.«

tcent@Matthew:13:10 @ The disciples came and said to him, »Why do you speak to them in parables?«

tcent@Matthew:13:11 @ And he answered them, »To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

tcent@Matthew:13:12 @ For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

tcent@Matthew:13:13 @ This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

tcent@Matthew:13:14 @ In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says:

tcent@Matthew:13:15" />

tcent@Matthew:13:16 @ But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear.

tcent@Matthew:13:17 @ For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

tcent@Matthew:13:18 @ »Hear then the parable of the sower:

tcent@Matthew:13:19 @ when anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

tcent@Matthew:13:20 @ But he who received the seed on rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

tcent@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. And when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

tcent@Matthew:13:22 @ Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

tcent@Matthew:13:23 @ But the one who received seed on the good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.«

tcent@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable he put forth to them, saying: »The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

tcent@Matthew:13:25 @ but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.

tcent@Matthew:13:26 @ So when the plants sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.

tcent@Matthew:13:27 @ And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?’

tcent@Matthew:13:28 @ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them up?’

tcent@Matthew:13:29 @ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the weeds you also root up the wheat with them.

tcent@Matthew:13:30 @ Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers. Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’«

tcent@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable he put forth to them, saying: »The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

tcent@Matthew:13:32 @ it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.«

tcent@Matthew:13:33 @ He told them another parable: »The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour till it was all leavened.«

tcent@Matthew:13:34 @ All these things Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; and without a parable he did not speak to them.

tcent@Matthew:13:35 @ So was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet:

tcent@Matthew:13:36 @ Then he left the crowd and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, »Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.«

tcent@Matthew:13:37 @ He answered, »He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man;

tcent@Matthew:13:38 @ the field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

tcent@Matthew:13:39 @ and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

tcent@Matthew:13:40 @ Therefore as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

tcent@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil,

tcent@Matthew:13:51 @ Jesus asked, »Have you understood all these things?« »Yes,« they said to him.

tcent@Matthew:13:52 @ And he said to them, »Therefore every scribe who has been instructed for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.«

tcent@Matthew:13:53 @ When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there.

tcent@Matthew:13:54 @ And coming to his own country he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, »Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

tcent@Matthew:13:56 @ And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?«

tcent@Matthew:13:57 @ And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, »A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.«

tcent@Matthew:13:58 @ And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

tcent@Matthew:14:1 @ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,

tcent@Matthew:14:2 @ and he said to his servants, »This is John the Baptist, he has risen from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him.«

tcent@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

tcent@Matthew:14:4 @ because John had said to him, »It is not lawful for you to have her.«

tcent@Matthew:14:5 @ And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.

tcent@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,

tcent@Matthew:14:7 @ so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

tcent@Matthew:14:8 @ Prompted by her mother, she said, »Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.«

tcent@Matthew:14:9 @ And the king was sorry; but, because of his oaths and his guests, he commanded it to be given to her;

tcent@Matthew:14:10 @ so he sent and had John beheaded in prison.

tcent@Matthew:14:11 @ And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

tcent@Matthew:14:12 @ Then his disciples came and took the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:14:13 @ Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

tcent@Matthew:14:14 @ When Jesus went ashore he saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

tcent@Matthew:14:15 @ When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, »This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.«

tcent@Matthew:14:16 @ Jesus said, »They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.«

tcent@Matthew:14:17 @ They said to him, »We have only five loaves here and two fish.«

tcent@Matthew:14:18 @ He said, »Bring them here to me,«

tcent@Matthew:14:19 @ Then he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the multitudes.

tcent@Matthew:14:20 @ And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

tcent@Matthew:14:21 @ Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

tcent@Matthew:14:22 @ Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes.

tcent@Matthew:14:23 @ And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,

tcent@Matthew:14:24 @ but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them.

tcent@Matthew:14:25 @ And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.

tcent@Matthew:14:26 @ But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, »It is a ghost!« And they cried out for fear.

tcent@Matthew:14:27 @ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, »Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.«

tcent@Matthew:14:28 @ And Peter answered him, »Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.«

tcent@Matthew:14:29 @ So he said, »Come«. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:14:30 @ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, »Lord, save me!«

tcent@Matthew:14:31 @ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, and said to him, »O you of little faith, why did you doubt?«

tcent@Matthew:14:32 @ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

tcent@Matthew:14:33 @ Then those who were in the boat worshipped him, saying, »Truly you are the Son of God.«

tcent@Matthew:14:34 @ When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

tcent@Matthew:14:35 @ And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent to all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick,

tcent@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

tcent@Matthew:15:1 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus and said,

tcent@Matthew:15:2 @ »Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.«

tcent@Matthew:15:3 @ He answered them, »And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

tcent@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’

tcent@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you might have received from me is a gift to God’

tcent@Matthew:15:6 @ he is not to honor his father with it. Thus you have made the word of God of no effect for the sake of your tradition.

tcent@Matthew:15:13 @ He answered, »Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

tcent@Matthew:15:14 @ Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.«

tcent@Matthew:15:15 @ But Peter said to him, »Explain the parable to us.«

tcent@Matthew:15:16 @ So Jesus said, »Are you also still without understanding?

tcent@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not yet see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

tcent@Matthew:15:18 @ But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

tcent@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornications, theft, false witness, slander.

tcent@Matthew:15:20 @ These are what defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.«

tcent@Matthew:15:21 @ And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

tcent@Matthew:15:22 @ And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried to him, »Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.«

tcent@Matthew:15:23 @ But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, »Send her away, for she is crying out after us.«

tcent@Matthew:15:24 @ He answered, »I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.«

tcent@Matthew:15:25 @ But she came and knelt before him, saying, »Lord, help me!«

tcent@Matthew:15:26 @ And he answered, »It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.«

tcent@Matthew:15:27 @ »Yes, Lord,« she said, »yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.«

tcent@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered her, »O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.« And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

tcent@Matthew:15:29 @ And Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain, and sat down there.

tcent@Matthew:15:30 @ Then great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the mute, and many others; and they laid them down at his feet, and he healed them.

tcent@Matthew:15:31 @ So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

tcent@Matthew:15:32 @ Now Jesus called his disciples to him and said, »I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.«

tcent@Matthew:15:33 @ Then his disciples said to him, »Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to feed such a great crowd?«

tcent@Matthew:15:34 @ And Jesus said to them, »How many loaves do you have?« They said, »Seven, and a few small fish.«

tcent@Matthew:15:35 @ He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.

tcent@Matthew:15:36 @ Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

tcent@Matthew:15:37 @ And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

tcent@Matthew:15:38 @ Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

tcent@Matthew:15:39 @ And he sent away the crowds, got into the boat, and went to the region of Magadan.

tcent@Matthew:16:1 @ Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

tcent@Matthew:16:2 @ He answered them, »When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.’

tcent@Matthew:16:3 @ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

tcent@Matthew:16:4 @ A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.« So he left them and departed.

tcent@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

tcent@Matthew:16:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, »Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.«

tcent@Matthew:16:7 @ And they discussed among themselves, saying, »It is because we have taken no bread.«

tcent@Matthew:16:8 @ But Jesus, aware of this, said, »O men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?

tcent@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

tcent@Matthew:16:10 @ Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

tcent@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.«

tcent@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

tcent@Matthew:16:13 @ When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, »Who do men say that the Son of Man is?«

tcent@Matthew:16:14 @ And they said, »Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.«

tcent@Matthew:16:15 @ He said to them, »But who do you say that I am?«

tcent@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter answered, »You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.«

tcent@Matthew:16:17 @ And Jesus answered him, »Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:16:18 @ And I tell you, that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

tcent@Matthew:16:19 @ I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.«

tcent@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

tcent@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

tcent@Matthew:16:22 @ Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying, »Never, Lord! This shall never happen to you!«

tcent@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter, »Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.«

tcent@Matthew:16:24 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples, »If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

tcent@Matthew:16:25 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

tcent@Matthew:16:26 @ What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

tcent@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each man according to what he has done.

tcent@Matthew:16:28 @ Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.«

tcent@Matthew:17:1 @ After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

tcent@Matthew:17:2 @ And he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

tcent@Matthew:17:3 @ And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

tcent@Matthew:17:4 @ And Peter said to Jesus, »Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make here three tabernacles—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.«

tcent@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and a voice from the cloud said, »This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!«

tcent@Matthew:17:6 @ When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe.

tcent@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them and said, »Rise. Don’t be afraid.«

tcent@Matthew:17:8 @ And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

tcent@Matthew:17:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, »Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.«

tcent@Matthew:17:10 @ And the disciples asked him, »Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?«

tcent@Matthew:17:11 @ Jesus replied, »Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.

tcent@Matthew:17:12 @ But I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.«

tcent@Matthew:17:13 @ Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.

tcent@Matthew:17:14 @ And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said,

tcent@Matthew:17:15 @ »Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.

tcent@Matthew:17:16 @ And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.«

tcent@Matthew:17:17 @ Then Jesus answered, »O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.«

tcent@Matthew:17:18 @ And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured from that moment.

tcent@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, »Why could we not cast it out?«

tcent@Matthew:17:20 @ So he said to them, »Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.«

tcent@Matthew:17:21" />

tcent@Matthew:17:22 @ Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, »The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,

tcent@Matthew:17:23 @ and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.« And they were greatly distressed.

tcent@Matthew:17:24 @ When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, »Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?«

tcent@Matthew:17:25 @ 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 take customs or taxes, from their sons or from others?«

tcent@Matthew:17:26 @ And when Peter said, »From others,« Jesus said to him, »Then the sons are free.

tcent@Matthew:17:27 @ Nevertheless, so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you open its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for me and you.«

tcent@Matthew:18:1 @ At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, »Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?«

tcent@Matthew:18:2 @ He called to him a little child, and put him in the midst of them,

tcent@Matthew:18:3 @ and he said, »Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

tcent@Matthew:20:2 @ Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

tcent@Matthew:20:3 @ And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

tcent@Matthew:20:4 @ and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went.

tcent@Matthew:20:5 @ Again he went out about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, and did the same thing.

tcent@Matthew:20:6 @ And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’

tcent@Matthew:20:7 @ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.’

tcent@Matthew:20:8 @ And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’

tcent@Matthew:20:9 @ And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.

tcent@Matthew:20:10 @ So when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.

tcent@Matthew:20:11 @ And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,

tcent@Matthew:20:12 @ saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’

tcent@Matthew:20:13 @ But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

tcent@Matthew:20:14 @ Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as I gave to you.

tcent@Matthew:20:15 @ Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

tcent@Matthew:20:16 @ So the last will be first, and the first will be last.«

tcent@Matthew:20:17 @ Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

tcent@Matthew:20:18 @ »Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death,

tcent@Matthew:20:25 @ But Jesus called them to him and said, »You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

tcent@Matthew:20:27 @ And whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave—

tcent@Matthew:20:28 @ just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.«

tcent@Matthew:20:29 @ And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.

tcent@Matthew:20:30 @ And behold, two blind men sitting by the roadside, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, »Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!«

tcent@Matthew:20:31 @ The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be quiet; but they cried out all the more, »Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!«

tcent@Matthew:20:33 @ They said to him, »Lord, let our eyes be opened.«

tcent@Matthew:21:8 @ And a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

tcent@Matthew:21:9 @ The crowds that went before him and those that followed shouted,

tcent@Matthew:21:10 @ And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, »Who is this?«

tcent@Matthew:21:11 @ So the crowds said, »This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.«

tcent@Matthew:21:12 @ And Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

tcent@Matthew:21:13 @ And he said to them, »It is written,

tcent@Matthew:21:16 @ and they said to him, »Do you hear what these are saying?« And Jesus said to them, »Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise’?«

tcent@Matthew:21:17 @ Then he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and he lodged there.

tcent@Matthew:21:18 @ In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.

tcent@Matthew:21:19 @ And seeing a fig tree by the road he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he said to it, »May no fruit ever come from you again!« And immediately the fig tree withered.

tcent@Matthew:21:20 @ And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, »How did the fig tree wither away so soon?«

tcent@Matthew:21:21 @ And Jesus answered 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 be done.

tcent@Matthew:21:22 @ And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.«

tcent@Matthew:21:23 @ And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, »By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?«

tcent@Matthew:21:24 @ Jesus answered them, »I also will ask you one question; and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.

tcent@Matthew:21:25 @ The baptism of John—where was it from? From heaven or from men?« And they reasoned among themselves, saying, »If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

tcent@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the multitude; for all hold that John was a prophet.«

tcent@Matthew:21:27 @ So they answered Jesus, »We do not know.« And he said to them, »Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

tcent@Matthew:21:28 @ »What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’

tcent@Matthew:21:29 @ He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he regretted it and went.

tcent@Matthew:21:33 @ »Hear another parable: there was a landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vine dressers and went into a far country.

tcent@Matthew:21:34 @ When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit.

tcent@Matthew:21:35 @ And the tenants took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another.

tcent@Matthew:21:36 @ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did the same to them.

tcent@Matthew:21:37 @ Last of all, he sent his son to them saying, ‘They will respect my son,’

tcent@Matthew:21:38 @ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’

tcent@Matthew:21:39 @ So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

tcent@Matthew:21:40 @ Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?«

tcent@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, »He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.«

tcent@Matthew:22:2 @ »The kingdom of heaven is like a king who arranged a marriage for his son,

tcent@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; but they were not willing to come.

tcent@Matthew:22:4 @ Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, »See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding.’«

tcent@Matthew:22:5 @ But they made light of it and went off, one to his own farm, another to his business.

tcent@Matthew:22:6 @ And the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

tcent@Matthew:22:7 @ The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

tcent@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

tcent@Matthew:22:9 @ Go therefore to the highways, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.’

tcent@Matthew:22:10 @ And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests.

tcent@Matthew:22:11 @ But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

tcent@Matthew:22:12 @ And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.

tcent@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

tcent@Matthew:22:20 @ And he said to them, »Whose image and inscription is this?«

tcent@Matthew:22:21 @ They said, »Caesar’s.« Then he said to them, »Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.«

tcent@Matthew:22:22 @ When they heard it, they marveled; and they left him and went away.

tcent@Matthew:22:23 @ That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him a question,

tcent@Matthew:22:24 @ saying, »Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother must marry the widow, and raise up children for his brother.

tcent@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and having no children, he left his wife to his brother.

tcent@Matthew:22:26 @ So the second also, and the third, down to the seventh.

tcent@Matthew:22:28 @ Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.«

tcent@Matthew:22:29 @ But Jesus answered them, »You are wrong, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

tcent@Matthew:22:30 @ For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:22:32 @ ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.«

tcent@Matthew:22:33 @ And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

tcent@Matthew:22:34 @ But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

tcent@Matthew:22:35 @ And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him.

tcent@Matthew:22:36 @ »Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?«

tcent@Matthew:22:40 @ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.«

tcent@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

tcent@Matthew:22:42 @ »What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?« They said to him, »The son of David.«

tcent@Matthew:25:8 @ And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’

tcent@Matthew:25:9 @ But the wise replied, ‘No, there may not be enough for both us and you; go rather to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

tcent@Matthew:25:10 @ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

tcent@Matthew:25:11 @ Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us!’

tcent@Matthew:25:12 @ But he replied, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

tcent@Matthew:25:13 @ Therefore keep watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

tcent@Matthew:25:14 @ »For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them.

tcent@Matthew:25:15 @ To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.

tcent@Matthew:25:16 @ He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more.

tcent@Matthew:25:17 @ So also, he who had the two talents gained two more.

tcent@Matthew:25:18 @ But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground, and hid his master’s money.

tcent@Matthew:25:19 @ Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

tcent@Matthew:25:20 @ So he who had received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents.’

tcent@Matthew:25:21 @ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’

tcent@Matthew:25:22 @ He also who had received the two talents came and said, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents.’

tcent@Matthew:25:23 @ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’

tcent@Matthew:25:24 @ Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

tcent@Matthew:25:25 @ So I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’

tcent@Matthew:25:26 @ But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed?

tcent@Matthew:25:27 @ Then you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.

tcent@Matthew:25:28 @ Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.

tcent@Matthew:25:29 @ For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

tcent@Matthew:25:30 @ And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

tcent@Matthew:25:31 @ »When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

tcent@Matthew:25:32 @ All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

tcent@Matthew:25:33 @ And he will put the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

tcent@Matthew:25:34 @ Then the King will say to those on his right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

tcent@Matthew:25:35 @ for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you took me in,

tcent@Matthew:25:36 @ I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

tcent@Matthew:25:37 @ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

tcent@Matthew:25:38 @ When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?

tcent@Matthew:25:39 @ When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

tcent@Matthew:25:40 @ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’

tcent@Matthew:25:41 @ »Then he will say to those on his left hand, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

tcent@Matthew:25:42 @ for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,

tcent@Matthew:25:43 @ I was a stranger and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

tcent@Matthew:25:44 @ Then they 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 minister to you?’

tcent@Matthew:25:45 @ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

tcent@Matthew:25:46 @ And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.«

tcent@Matthew:26:1 @ When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

tcent@Matthew:26:2 @ »You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.«

tcent@Matthew:26:3 @ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

tcent@Matthew:26:4 @ and they plotted to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

tcent@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, »Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people.«

tcent@Matthew:26:6 @ Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

tcent@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

tcent@Matthew:26:8 @ But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, »Why this waste?

tcent@Matthew:26:9 @ For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and given to the poor.«

tcent@Matthew:26:10 @ But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, »Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.

tcent@Matthew:26:11 @ For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.

tcent@Matthew:26:12 @ For in pouring this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

tcent@Matthew:26:13 @ Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.«

tcent@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

tcent@Matthew:26:15 @ and said, »What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?« And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.

tcent@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.

tcent@Matthew:26:17 @ Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, »Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?«

tcent@Matthew:26:18 @ He said, »Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, my time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’«

tcent@Matthew:26:19 @ So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

tcent@Matthew:26:20 @ When evening had come, he sat at the table with the twelve.

tcent@Matthew:26:21 @ And as they were eating, he said, »Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.«

tcent@Matthew:26:22 @ And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, »Is it I, Lord?«

tcent@Matthew:26:23 @ He answered, »He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.

tcent@Matthew:26:24 @ The Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.«

tcent@Matthew:26:25 @ Then Judas, who was betraying him, answered, »Rabbi, is it I?« He said to him, »You have said it.«

tcent@Matthew:26:26 @ Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, »Take, eat; this is my body.«

tcent@Matthew:26:27 @ Then he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, »Drink from it, all of you.

tcent@Matthew:26:28 @ For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

tcent@Matthew:26:29 @ I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.«

tcent@Matthew:26:30 @ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

tcent@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, »You will all fall away because of me this night; for it is written,

tcent@Matthew:26:32 @ But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.«

tcent@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter declared to him, »Even if all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.«

tcent@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said to him, »Truly I say to you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.«

tcent@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said to him, »Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you.« And so said all the disciples.

tcent@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, »Sit here while I go over there and pray.«

tcent@Matthew:26:37 @ He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

tcent@Matthew:26:38 @ Then he said to them, »My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.«

tcent@Matthew:26:39 @ And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, »O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.«

tcent@Matthew:26:40 @ Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, »So, could you not watch with me one hour?

tcent@Matthew:26:41 @ Watch and pray, so that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.«

tcent@Matthew:26:42 @ Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, »O my Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink it, your will be done.«

tcent@Matthew:26:43 @ And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

tcent@Matthew:26:44 @ So he left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

tcent@Matthew:26:45 @ 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.

tcent@Matthew:26:46 @ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.«

tcent@Matthew:26:47 @ While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.

tcent@Matthew:26:48 @ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, »The one I kiss is the man; seize him.«

tcent@Matthew:26:49 @ And at once he went up to Jesus and said, »Greetings, Rabbi!« and kissed him.

tcent@Matthew:26:50 @ Jesus said to him, »Friend, why are you here?« Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

tcent@Matthew:26:51 @ And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

tcent@Matthew:26:52 @ But Jesus said to him, »Put your sword back in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

tcent@Matthew:26:53 @ Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?

tcent@Matthew:26:54 @ But how then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen in this way?«

tcent@Matthew:26:55 @ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, »Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.

tcent@Matthew:26:56 @ But all this has taken place, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.« Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

tcent@Matthew:26:57 @ And those who had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

tcent@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the end.

tcent@Matthew:26:59 @ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,

tcent@Matthew:26:60 @ but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward

tcent@Matthew:26:61 @ and said, »This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’«

tcent@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest stood up and said, »Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?«

tcent@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, »I charge you under oath by the living God: tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.«

tcent@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him, »It is as you said. But I say to you,

tcent@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, »He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard his blasphemy.

tcent@Matthew:26:66 @ What do you think?« They answered, »He is worthy of death.«

tcent@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists; and others slapped him,

tcent@Matthew:26:68 @ saying, »Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck you?«

tcent@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, »You also were with Jesus of Galilee.«

tcent@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before them all, saying, »I do not know what you are talking about.«

tcent@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he went out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to the people there, »This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.«

tcent@Matthew:26:72 @ But again he denied it with an oath, »I do not know the man!«

tcent@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little while those who stood by came up and said to Peter, »Surely you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you.«

tcent@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, »I do not know the man.« And immediately the rooster crowed.

tcent@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the word Jesus had said, »Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.« So he went out and wept bitterly.

tcent@Matthew:27:1 @ When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

tcent@Matthew:27:2 @ And they bound him, and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.

tcent@Matthew:27:3 @ When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

tcent@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, »I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.« And they said, »What is that to us? You see to it!«

tcent@Matthew:27:5 @ Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.

tcent@Matthew:27:6 @ But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, »It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are the money of blood.«

tcent@Matthew:27:7 @ So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

tcent@Matthew:27:8 @ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

tcent@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, »And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

tcent@Matthew:27:10 @ and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.«

tcent@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, »Are you the king of the Jews?« So Jesus said to him, »It is as you say.«

tcent@Matthew:27:12 @ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.

tcent@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to him, »Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?«

tcent@Matthew:27:14 @ But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge; so that the governor wondered greatly.

tcent@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.

tcent@Matthew:27:16 @ And at that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

tcent@Matthew:27:17 @ So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, »Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?«

tcent@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed him over.

tcent@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, »Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered greatly today in a dream because of him.«

tcent@Matthew:27:20 @ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:27:21 @ The governor answered them, »Which of the two do you want me to release to you?« They said, »Barabbas!«

tcent@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, »Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?« They all said, »Let him be crucified!«

tcent@Matthew:27:23 @ And he said, »Why, what evil has he done?« But they shouted all the more, »Let him be crucified!«

tcent@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, »I am innocent of this man’s blood. See to it yourselves.«

tcent@Matthew:27:25 @ And all the people answered, »His blood be on us and on our children!«

tcent@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

tcent@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around him.

tcent@Matthew:27:28 @ And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,

tcent@Matthew:27:29 @ and when they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, »Hail, King of the Jews!«

tcent@Matthew:27:30 @ And they spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

tcent@Matthew:27:31 @ And when they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

tcent@Matthew:27:32 @ Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to carry his cross.

tcent@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull),

tcent@Matthew:27:34 @ they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.

tcent@Matthew:27:35 @ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots;

tcent@Matthew:27:36 @ and sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

tcent@Matthew:27:37 @ And they put up over his head the charge written against him:

tcent@Matthew:27:38 @ Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

tcent@Matthew:27:39 @ And those who passed by hurled insults at him, wagging their heads

tcent@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, »You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.«

tcent@Matthew:27:41 @ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,

tcent@Matthew:27:42 @ »He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.

tcent@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’«

tcent@Matthew:27:44 @ And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

tcent@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.

tcent@Matthew:27:46 @ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, »Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?« that is, »My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?«

tcent@Matthew:27:47 @ When some of those standing there heard this, they said, »This man is calling Elijah.«

tcent@Matthew:27:48 @ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with wine vinegar and put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink.

tcent@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said, »Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save him.«

tcent@Matthew:27:50 @ And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

tcent@Matthew:27:51 @ And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split;

tcent@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,

tcent@Matthew:27:53 @ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

tcent@Matthew:27:54 @ So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified, and said, »Truly this was the Son of God!«

tcent@Matthew:27:55 @ And many women were also there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him;

tcent@Matthew:27:56 @ among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

tcent@Matthew:27:57 @ And when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself also become a disciple of Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

tcent@Matthew:27:59 @ When Joseph took the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

tcent@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

tcent@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

tcent@Matthew:27:62 @ The next day, the one after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered to Pilate

tcent@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, »Sir, we remember how that deceiver said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

tcent@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore order that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.«

tcent@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, »You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how.«

tcent@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

tcent@Matthew:28:1 @ Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.

tcent@Matthew:28:2 @ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.

tcent@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

tcent@Matthew:28:4 @ And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.

tcent@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel said to the women, »Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

tcent@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

tcent@Matthew:28:7 @ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead. And behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Behold, I have told you.«

tcent@Matthew:28:8 @ So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

tcent@Matthew:28:9 @ And behold, Jesus met them and said, »Hail!« And they came to him and took hold of his feet and worshipped him.

tcent@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, »Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee; and there they will see me.«

tcent@Matthew:28:11 @ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened.

tcent@Matthew:28:12 @ When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

tcent@Matthew:28:13 @ and said, »Tell them, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’

tcent@Matthew:28:14 @ And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.«

tcent@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

tcent@Matthew:28:16 @ Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.

tcent@Matthew:28:17 @ When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.

tcent@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came and said to them, »All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

tcent@Matthew:28:19 @ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Matthew:28:20 @ teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.«

tcent@Mark:1:6 @ Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

tcent@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.«

tcent@Mark:1:10 @ And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove.

tcent@Mark:1:12 @ The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.

tcent@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.

tcent@Mark:1:15 @ and saying, »The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel.«

tcent@Mark:1:18 @ And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

tcent@Mark:1:19 @ When he had gone a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

tcent@Mark:1:20 @ And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

tcent@Mark:1:21 @ And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.

tcent@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

tcent@Mark:1:24 @ saying, »Let us alone! What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!«

tcent@Mark:1:27 @ And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, »What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.«

tcent@Mark:1:28 @ And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

tcent@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

tcent@Mark:1:31 @ So he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.

tcent@Mark:1:32 @ Now at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.

tcent@Mark:1:33 @ And the whole city was gathered together at the door.

tcent@Mark:1:38 @ And he said to them, »Let us go on to the next towns, so I may preach there also; for that is why I have come.«

tcent@Mark:1:42 @ And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

tcent@Mark:1:43 @ And he strictly warned him and sent him away at once,

tcent@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.«

tcent@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was outside in the deserted places; and people came to him from every quarter.

tcent@Mark:2:1 @ And when he entered Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was home.

tcent@Mark:2:2 @ And many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And he preached the word to them.

tcent@Mark:2:8 @ And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, he said to them, »Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

tcent@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins«—he said to the paralytic,

tcent@Mark:2:12 @ And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out in the sight of them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, »We never saw anything like this!«

tcent@Mark:2:14 @ As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, »Follow me.« So he rose and followed him.

tcent@Mark:2:15 @ And as he sat at table in Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.

tcent@Mark:2:16 @ And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, »Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?«

tcent@Mark:2:20 @ But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

tcent@Mark:2:21 @ »No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and the tear is made worse.

tcent@Mark:2:23 @ One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.

tcent@Mark:2:24 @ And the Pharisees said to him, »Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?«

tcent@Mark:2:25 @ But he said to them, »Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those who were with him:

tcent@Mark:2:26 @ how he entered the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?«

tcent@Mark:2:27 @ And he said to them, »The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

tcent@Mark:2:28 @ So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.«

tcent@Mark:3:2 @ And they watched him closely, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

tcent@Mark:3:4 @ Then he said to them, »Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?« But they kept silent.

tcent@Mark:3:5 @ And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, »Stretch out your hand.« He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

tcent@Mark:3:6 @ Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

tcent@Mark:3:7 @ Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea

tcent@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things he was doing, came to him.

tcent@Mark:3:9 @ And he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they should crush him.

tcent@Mark:3:10 @ For he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.

tcent@Mark:3:14 @ Then he appointed twelve, that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach,

tcent@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, »Sons of Thunder«;

tcent@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot;

tcent@Mark:3:20 @ Then he went home; and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.

tcent@Mark:3:23 @ So he called them to himself and said to them in parables: »How can Satan cast out Satan?

tcent@Mark:3:24 @ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

tcent@Mark:3:25 @ And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

tcent@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

tcent@Mark:3:28 @ Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

tcent@Mark:3:34 @ And he looked at those who sat in a circle around him, and said, »Here are my mother and my brothers!

tcent@Mark:4:1 @ Again he began to teach by the sea. and a very large crowd gathered around him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

tcent@Mark:4:4 @ And as he sowed the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

tcent@Mark:4:5 @ Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

tcent@Mark:4:8 @ But other seed fell on good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced thirtyfold, sixty, and a hundred.«

tcent@Mark:4:12 @ so that

tcent@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones along the path where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in them.

tcent@Mark:4:16 @ And these likewise are the ones sown on rocky ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

tcent@Mark:4:17 @ and they have no root in themselves, but endure for only a time. Then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.

tcent@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hidden, except to be revealed; nor is anything secret, but that it should come to light.

tcent@Mark:4:24 @ Then he said to them, »Take heed what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you; and more will be given you.

tcent@Mark:4:25 @ For whoever has, to him will more be given; and whoever does not have, from him even what he has will be taken away.«

tcent@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, »The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,

tcent@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.«

tcent@Mark:4:30 @ And he said, »With what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?

tcent@Mark:4:32 @ yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.«

tcent@Mark:4:35 @ On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, »Let us go over to the other side.«

tcent@Mark:4:36 @ And leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.

tcent@Mark:4:37 @ And a great storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.

tcent@Mark:4:39 @ Then he rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, »Peace! Be still!« And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

tcent@Mark:5:2 @ And when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

tcent@Mark:5:7 @ And crying out with a loud voice, he said, »What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, do not torment me.«

tcent@Mark:5:9 @ Then Jesus asked him, »What is your name?« And he replied, »My name is Legion, for we are many.«

tcent@Mark:5:12 @ So all the demons begged him, »Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.«

tcent@Mark:5:14 @ So those who fed the swine fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people went out to see what it was that had happened.

tcent@Mark:5:16 @ And those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the swine.

tcent@Mark:5:18 @ And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged him that he might be with him.

tcent@Mark:5:21 @ And when Jesus had crossed over again by the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea.

tcent@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name. And seeing him, he fell at his feet,

tcent@Mark:5:23 @ and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, »My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be healed, and live.«

tcent@Mark:5:26 @ and she had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she owned, and was no better but rather grew worse.

tcent@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the bleeding stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

tcent@Mark:5:30 @ And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and said, »Who touched my clothes?«

tcent@Mark:5:33 @ But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him in fear and trembling and told him the whole truth.

tcent@Mark:5:36 @ But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, »Do not be afraid; only believe.«

tcent@Mark:5:40 @ And they laughed at him. But after he put them all outside, he took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

tcent@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the girl stood up and walked (she was twelve years of age). And they were overcome with great amazement.

tcent@Mark:5:43 @ He strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

tcent@Mark:6:2 @ And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, saying, »Where did this man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to him, that such mighty works are performed by his hands!

tcent@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.

tcent@Mark:6:4 @ But Jesus said to them, »A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.«

tcent@Mark:6:5 @ Now he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

tcent@Mark:6:10 @ And he said to them, »Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place.

tcent@Mark:6:11 @ And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them.«

tcent@Mark:6:12 @ So they went out and preached that people should repent.

tcent@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

tcent@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some said, »John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these powers are at work in him.«

tcent@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.

tcent@Mark:6:22 @ And when the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, »Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.«

tcent@Mark:6:23 @ And he vowed to her, »Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.«

tcent@Mark:6:24 @ So she went out and said to her mother, »What shall I ask?« And she said, »The head of John the Baptist!«

tcent@Mark:6:25 @ Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, »I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.«

tcent@Mark:6:26 @ And the king was exceedingly sorry; but, because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

tcent@Mark:6:27 @ And immediately the king sent an executioner and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

tcent@Mark:6:28 @ and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

tcent@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.

tcent@Mark:6:31 @ And he said to them, »Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while.« For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

tcent@Mark:6:32 @ So they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.

tcent@Mark:6:34 @ When Jesus went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things.

tcent@Mark:6:35 @ When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, »This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

tcent@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away, so they can go to the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves something to eat.«

tcent@Mark:6:37 @ But he answered them, »You give them something to eat.« And they said to him, »Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?«

tcent@Mark:6:40 @ So they sat down in groups, of hundreds and fifties.

tcent@Mark:6:42 @ And they all ate and were satisfied.

tcent@Mark:6:44 @ Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.

tcent@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.

tcent@Mark:6:47 @ When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on land.

tcent@Mark:6:48 @ And he saw the disciples straining at the oars, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He was about to pass by them,

tcent@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, »Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.«

tcent@Mark:6:51 @ Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely amazed,

tcent@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there.

tcent@Mark:6:54 @ And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

tcent@Mark:6:55 @ and ran about that whole region, and began to carry those who were sick around on pallets to wherever they heard he was.

tcent@Mark:6:56 @ Wherever he entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were made well.

tcent@Mark:7:1 @ Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered together to him,

tcent@Mark:7:2 @ they saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.

tcent@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.

tcent@Mark:7:4 @ When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash themselves. And there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels. )

tcent@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, »Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with impure hands?«

tcent@Mark:7:10 @ For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’

tcent@Mark:7:11 @ But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

tcent@Mark:7:12 @ then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother,

tcent@Mark:7:15 @ there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him.«

tcent@Mark:7:18 @ So he said to them, »Are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

tcent@Mark:7:20 @ And he said, »What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.

tcent@Mark:7:21 @ For from within, out of the heart of men, come evil thoughts, fornications, theft, murder, adultery,

tcent@Mark:7:25 @ But a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.

tcent@Mark:7:28 @ But she answered him, »Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.«

tcent@Mark:7:33 @ And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue.

tcent@Mark:7:34 @ And looking up to heaven he sighed and said to him, »Ephphatha,« that is, »Be opened.«

tcent@Mark:8:1 @ In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said to them,

tcent@Mark:8:2 @ »I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat.

tcent@Mark:8:7 @ They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.

tcent@Mark:8:8 @ They ate, and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

tcent@Mark:8:10 @ he immediately got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

tcent@Mark:8:12 @ And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, »Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.«

tcent@Mark:8:13 @ And he left them, and getting into the boat again he departed to the other side.

tcent@Mark:8:14 @ Now the disciples had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

tcent@Mark:8:17 @ Being aware of it, Jesus said to them, »Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

tcent@Mark:8:27 @ And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, »Who do men say that I am?«

tcent@Mark:8:29 @ And he asked them, »But who do you say that I am?« Peter answered him, »You are the Christ.«

tcent@Mark:8:31 @ 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.

tcent@Mark:8:33 @ But when he had turned around and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, »Get behind me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.«

tcent@Mark:8:36 @ For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

tcent@Mark:8:37 @ Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

tcent@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.«

tcent@Mark:9:1 @ And he said to them, »Truly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.«

tcent@Mark:9:6 @ For he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

tcent@Mark:9:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

tcent@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

tcent@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked him, »Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?«

tcent@Mark:9:12 @ Then he said to them, »Elijah does come first and restores all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man, that he must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

tcent@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.«

tcent@Mark:9:14 @ And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

tcent@Mark:9:15 @ Immediately, when they saw him, all the people were greatly amazed, and ran to him and greeted him.

tcent@Mark:9:16 @ And he asked them, »What are you discussing with them?«

tcent@Mark:9:18 @ And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast out the spirit, but they could not.«

tcent@Mark:9:19 @ He answered him, »O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.«

tcent@Mark:9:20 @ And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

tcent@Mark:9:21 @ And Jesus asked his father, »How long has he been like this?« And he said, »From childhood.

tcent@Mark:9:22 @ And it has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us.«

tcent@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, »I believe; help my unbelief!«

tcent@Mark:9:25 @ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, »You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again.«

tcent@Mark:9:26 @ And the spirit cried out, convulsed him terribly, and came out. And the boy was like a corpse; so that many of them said, »He is dead.«

tcent@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, »Why could we not cast it out?«

tcent@Mark:9:33 @ And they came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, »What were you discussing on the road?«

tcent@Mark:9:34 @ But they kept silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

tcent@Mark:9:35 @ And he sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, »If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.«

tcent@Mark:9:41 @ For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

tcent@Mark:9:42 @ »Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

tcent@Mark:9:43 @ If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, to the fire that shall never be quenched.

tcent@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.«

tcent@Mark:10:1 @ Then he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan. And crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.

tcent@Mark:10:3 @ He answered them, »What did Moses command you?«

tcent@Mark:10:4 @ They said, »Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away.«

tcent@Mark:10:6 @ But from the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’

tcent@Mark:10:7 @ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

tcent@Mark:10:9 @ Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.«

tcent@Mark:10:10 @ In the house his disciples also asked him again about this matter.

tcent@Mark:10:13 @ And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

tcent@Mark:10:17 @ And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, »Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?«

tcent@Mark:10:19 @ 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.’«

tcent@Mark:10:21 @ Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, »You lack one thing; go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.«

tcent@Mark:10:22 @ But he fell sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

tcent@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, »Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

tcent@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said, »With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.«

tcent@Mark:10:29 @ 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 lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

tcent@Mark:10:32 @ They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And he took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him.

tcent@Mark:10:33 @ »Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles;

tcent@Mark:10:35 @ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, »Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.«

tcent@Mark:10:36 @ And he said to them, »What do you want me to do for you?«

tcent@Mark:10:37 @ And they said to him, »Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and the other at your left, in your glory.«

tcent@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, »You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?«

tcent@Mark:10:39 @ They said to him, »We are able.« So Jesus said to them, »You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized;

tcent@Mark:10:40 @ but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.«

tcent@Mark:10:42 @ But Jesus called them to himself and said to them, »You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

tcent@Mark:10:43 @ But it shall not be so among you. But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

tcent@Mark:10:46 @ And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside begging.

tcent@Mark:10:47 @ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, »Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!«

tcent@Mark:10:51 @ And Jesus said to him, »What do you want me to do for you?« And the blind man said to him, »Master, let me receive my sight.«

tcent@Mark:10:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, »Go your way; your faith has made you well.« And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

tcent@Mark:11:1 @ And when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

tcent@Mark:11:3 @ If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’«

tcent@Mark:11:4 @ They went away and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied it.

tcent@Mark:11:5 @ And some of those who stood there said to them, »What are you doing, untying the colt?«

tcent@Mark:11:7 @ Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and he sat on it.

tcent@Mark:11:11 @ Jesus entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple. And when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

tcent@Mark:11:14 @ And he said to it, »May no one ever eat fruit from you again.« And his disciples heard it.

tcent@Mark:11:15 @ So they came to Jerusalem. And Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

tcent@Mark:11:18 @ And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

tcent@Mark:11:23 @ 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 will come to pass, it will be done for him.

tcent@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

tcent@Mark:11:25 @ And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

tcent@Mark:11:28 @ And they said to him, »By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them?«

tcent@Mark:11:29 @ Jesus said to them, »I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

tcent@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, ‘From men’«—they feared the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.

tcent@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, »We do not know.« And Jesus said to them, »Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.«

tcent@Mark:12:1 @ Then he began to speak to them in parables: »A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vine dressers and went into a far country.

tcent@Mark:12:2 @ At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants, to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

tcent@Mark:12:3 @ And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

tcent@Mark:12:4 @ Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

tcent@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.

tcent@Mark:12:9 @ What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.

tcent@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

tcent@Mark:12:14 @ When they came, they said to him, »Teacher, we know that you are true, and care about no man; for you do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

tcent@Mark:12:15 @ Should we pay them, or should we not?« But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, »Why do you put me to the test? Bring me a denarius, and let me look at it.«

tcent@Mark:12:17 @ 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.

tcent@Mark:12:19 @ »Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

tcent@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them, »Is not this why you are wrong, that you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

tcent@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.«

tcent@Mark:12:28 @ And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him, »Which commandment is the first of all?«

tcent@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.«

tcent@Mark:12:32 @ And the scribe said to him, »You are right, Teacher; you have well said that God is one, and there is no other but he;

tcent@Mark:12:34 @ And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, »You are not far from the kingdom of God.« And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

tcent@Mark:12:35 @ And Jesus said, while he taught in the temple, »How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

tcent@Mark:12:38 @ And in his teaching he said, »Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places

tcent@Mark:12:39 @ and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

tcent@Mark:12:40 @ who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.«

tcent@Mark:12:41 @ And Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many people who were rich put in large sums.

tcent@Mark:13:1 @ And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, »Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!«

tcent@Mark:13:2 @ And Jesus said to him, »Do you see all these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.«

tcent@Mark:13:3 @ Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

tcent@Mark:13:4 @ »Tell us, when will this be? And what will be the sign when these things are all to be fulfilled?«

tcent@Mark:13:5 @ And Jesus began to say to them: »Take heed that no one deceives you.

tcent@Mark:13:8 @ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginning of birth pains.

tcent@Mark:13:9 @ But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.

tcent@Mark:13:10 @ And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

tcent@Mark:13:11 @ And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand what you are to say. But say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Mark:13:12 @ Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

tcent@Mark:13:13 @ And you will be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

tcent@Mark:13:14 @ »When you see ‘the abomination of desolation’ standing where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

tcent@Mark:13:18 @ Pray that it may not happen in winter.

tcent@Mark:13:19 @ For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

tcent@Mark:13:24 @ »But in those days, after that tribulation,

tcent@Mark:13:26 @ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

tcent@Mark:13:27 @ And then he will send out his angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

tcent@Mark:13:28 @ »Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

tcent@Mark:13:29 @ So also, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door.

tcent@Mark:13:30 @ Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.

tcent@Mark:13:32 @ »But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

tcent@Mark:13:33 @ Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come.

tcent@Mark:13:34 @ It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch.

tcent@Mark:13:35 @ Watch therefore—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—

tcent@Mark:13:37 @ And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!«

tcent@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly. And she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

tcent@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.

tcent@Mark:14:9 @ And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.«

tcent@Mark:14:12 @ Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, »Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?«

tcent@Mark:14:13 @ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, »Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him.

tcent@Mark:14:14 @ And wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’

tcent@Mark:14:15 @ He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready; make preparations for us there.«

tcent@Mark:14:18 @ And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, »Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.«

tcent@Mark:14:21 @ For the Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.«

tcent@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, »Take; this is my body.«

tcent@Mark:14:25 @ Truly, I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.«

tcent@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him, »Truly, I say to you that this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.«

tcent@Mark:14:34 @ And he said to them, »My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; stay here, and watch.«

tcent@Mark:14:35 @ And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

tcent@Mark:14:36 @ And he said, »Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me; yet not what I will, but what you will.«

tcent@Mark:14:37 @ Then he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, »Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

tcent@Mark:14:38 @ Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.«

tcent@Mark:14:40 @ And when he came again, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.

tcent@Mark:14:42 @ Rise, let us go; see, my betrayer is at hand.«

tcent@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

tcent@Mark:14:45 @ And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, »Rabbi!« and he kissed him.

tcent@Mark:14:54 @ But Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.

tcent@Mark:14:55 @ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none.

tcent@Mark:14:58 @ »We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another not made with hands.’«

tcent@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, »Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?«

tcent@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?« And they all condemned him as worthy of death.

tcent@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him, and to beat him, and to say to him, »Prophesy!« And the guards received him with slaps in the face.

tcent@Mark:14:67 @ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, »You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.«

tcent@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, »I neither know nor understand what you mean.« And he went out into the gateway.

tcent@Mark:14:72 @ And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had said to him, »Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.« And he broke down and wept.

tcent@Mark:15:1 @ Very early in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

tcent@Mark:15:2 @ Then Pilate asked him, »Are you the King of the Jews?« And he answered him, »It is as you say.«

tcent@Mark:15:4 @ And Pilate again asked him, »Have you no answer to make? See how many things they bring against you.«

tcent@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus still made no answer, so that Pilate was amazed.

tcent@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he was accustomed to release for them one prisoner whom they requested.

tcent@Mark:15:8 @ And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he had always done for them.

tcent@Mark:15:9 @ But Pilate answered them, »Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?«

tcent@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.

tcent@Mark:15:12 @ And Pilate again said to them, »Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?«

tcent@Mark:15:14 @ And Pilate said to them, »Why, what evil has he done?« But they shouted all the more, »Crucify him!«

tcent@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged him, to be crucified.

tcent@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers led him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and they called together the whole battalion.

tcent@Mark:15:19 @ Then they struck him on the head with a reed and spat on him; and falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.

tcent@Mark:15:21 @ Then they compelled a certain man, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to carry his cross.

tcent@Mark:15:29 @ And those who passed by hurled insults at him, wagging their heads, and saying, »Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days,

tcent@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.« Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

tcent@Mark:15:34 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, »Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?«—which means, »My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?«

tcent@Mark:15:37 @ And with a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

tcent@Mark:15:39 @ So when the centurion, who stood opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, »Truly this man was the Son of God!«

tcent@Mark:15:42 @ Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

tcent@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

tcent@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate marveled that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if he was already dead.

tcent@Mark:15:45 @ And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph.

tcent@Mark:16:1 @ Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

tcent@Mark:16:4 @ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, though it was very large, had been rolled away.

tcent@Mark:16:7 @ But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.«

tcent@Mark:16:11 @ And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

tcent@Mark:16:14 @ Later he appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

tcent@Mark:16:15 @ And he said to them, »Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

tcent@Mark:16:19 @ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

tcent@Mark:16:20 @ Then they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the signs that accompanied it. Amen.

tcent@Luke:1:1 @ Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been fulfilled among us,

tcent@Luke:1:3 @ it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus,

tcent@Luke:1:4 @ so that you may know the certainty of the things which you have been taught.

tcent@Luke:1:10 @ And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

tcent@Luke:1:14 @ And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

tcent@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

tcent@Luke:1:17 @ And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.«

tcent@Luke:1:20 @ And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.«

tcent@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he made signs to them and remained speechless.

tcent@Luke:1:29 @ But she was greatly troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

tcent@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.

tcent@Luke:1:36 @ And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

tcent@Luke:1:43 @ But why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

tcent@Luke:1:45 @ And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.«

tcent@Luke:1:58 @ Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.

tcent@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechariah after his father,

tcent@Luke:1:61 @ They said to her, »There is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.«

tcent@Luke:1:62 @ And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called.

tcent@Luke:1:64 @ And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.

tcent@Luke:1:66 @ and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, »What then will this child be?« For the hand of the Lord was with him.

tcent@Luke:1:67 @ Now his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

tcent@Luke:1:80 @ And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

tcent@Luke:2:1 @ In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of all the world.

tcent@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

tcent@Luke:2:8 @ And in that region there were shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.

tcent@Luke:2:10 @ Then the angel said to them, »Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.

tcent@Luke:2:15 @ When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, »Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.«

tcent@Luke:2:18 @ And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.

tcent@Luke:2:20 @ Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

tcent@Luke:2:21 @ And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

tcent@Luke:2:22 @ And when the time of their purification according to the law of Moses was completed, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

tcent@Luke:2:24 @ and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, »a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.«

tcent@Luke:2:25 @ Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

tcent@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.

tcent@Luke:2:33 @ And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him.

tcent@Luke:2:49 @ And he said to them, »Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?«

tcent@Luke:2:52 @ And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

tcent@Luke:18:36 @ And hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

tcent@Luke:18:41 @ »What do you want me to do for you?« He said, »Lord, I want to receive my sight.«

tcent@Luke:18:43 @ And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

tcent@Luke:19:3 @ And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

tcent@Luke:19:4 @ So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

tcent@Luke:22:34 @ He said, »I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day before you deny three times that you know me.«

tcent@Luke:22:37 @ For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was numbered with transgressors’; for what is written about me has its fulfillment.«

tcent@Luke:22:40 @ When he came to the place, he said to them, »Pray that you may not enter into temptation.«

tcent@Luke:22:42 @ »Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.«

tcent@Luke:22:44 @ And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

tcent@Luke:22:49 @ When those around him saw what was going to happen, they said, »Lord, shall we strike with the sword?«

tcent@Luke:22:54 @ Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance.

tcent@Luke:22:55 @ When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

tcent@Luke:22:56 @ And a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, looked at him, and said, »This man also was with him.«

tcent@Luke:22:58 @ And a little later some one else saw him and said, »You also are of them.« But Peter said, »Man, I am not!«

tcent@Luke:22:60 @ But Peter said, »Man, I do not know what you are saying!« Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

tcent@Luke:22:61 @ And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, »Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.«

tcent@Luke:22:63 @ Now the men who were holding Jesus mocked him and beat him.

tcent@Luke:22:70 @ They all said, »Are you the Son of God, then?« He said to them, »You said what I am.«

tcent@Luke:22:71 @ And they said, »What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.«

tcent@Luke:23:1 @ Then the whole body of them arose and led him to Pilate.

tcent@Luke:23:2 @ And they began to accuse him, saying, »We found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.«

tcent@Luke:23:3 @ So Pilate asked him, »Are you the King of the Jews?« He answered him, »It is as you say.«

tcent@Luke:23:4 @ Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, »I find no crime in this man.«

tcent@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

tcent@Luke:23:7 @ And when he learned that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was in Jerusalem at that time.

tcent@Luke:23:11 @ And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then, dressing him in a gorgeous robe, he sent him back to Pilate.

tcent@Luke:23:12 @ That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.

tcent@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate then called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

tcent@Luke:23:22 @ Then he said to them the third time, »Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death. I will therefore chastise him and release him.«

tcent@Luke:23:23 @ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that he be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

tcent@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that their demand should be granted.

tcent@Luke:23:27 @ And a great multitude of the people followed him, and women who also mourned and lamented him.

tcent@Luke:23:29 @ For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed!’

tcent@Luke:23:31 @ For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?«

tcent@Luke:23:32 @ Two others, criminals, were also led with him to be put to death.

tcent@Luke:23:34 @ Then Jesus said, »Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.« And they divided his garments and cast lots.

tcent@Luke:23:35 @ And the people stood watching; but even the rulers sneered at him, saying, »He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.«

tcent@Luke:23:39 @ One of the criminals who were hanged there hurled insults at him, saying, »Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!«

tcent@Luke:23:40 @ But the other rebuked him, saying, »Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

tcent@Luke:23:46 @ And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, »Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.« And having said this, he breathed his last.

tcent@Luke:23:47 @ Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God, and said, »Certainly this was a righteous man!«

tcent@Luke:23:48 @ When all the multitudes who had gathered to witness this sight saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts, and returned home.

tcent@Luke:23:49 @ But all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

tcent@Luke:23:51 @ who had not consented to their decision and deed. He came from of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.

tcent@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

tcent@Luke:23:53 @ Then he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

tcent@Luke:23:54 @ It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

tcent@Luke:24:1 @ But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

tcent@Luke:24:12 @ But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying by themselves; and he went away, marveling to himself at what had happened.

tcent@Luke:24:13 @ Now behold, that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

tcent@Luke:24:14 @ And they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.

tcent@Luke:24:17 @ And he said to them, »What is this conversation which you are exchanging with each other as you walk?« And they stood still, looking sad.

tcent@Luke:24:18 @ Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, »Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?«

tcent@Luke:24:19 @ And he said to them, »What things?« And they said to him, »The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

tcent@Luke:24:20 @ and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

tcent@Luke:24:21 @ But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since all this happened.

tcent@Luke:24:22 @ In addition, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,

tcent@Luke:24:23 @ and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.

tcent@Luke:24:25 @ And he said to them, »O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

tcent@Luke:24:30 @ When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

tcent@Luke:24:33 @ So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

tcent@Luke:24:35 @ Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

tcent@Luke:24:37 @ But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

tcent@Luke:24:39 @ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.«

tcent@Luke:24:41 @ And while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, he said to them, »Have you anything here to eat?«

tcent@Luke:24:43 @ and he took it and ate in their presence.

tcent@Luke:24:44 @ Then he said to them, »These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.«

tcent@Luke:24:46 @ And he said to them, »Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

tcent@Luke:24:49 @ And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high.«

tcent@Luke:24:52 @ Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

tcent@John:1:3 @ All things were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made.

tcent@John:1:7 @ He came for a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.

tcent@John:1:9 @ The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

tcent@John:1:14 @ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

tcent@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

tcent@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, »What then? Are you Elijah?« He said, »I am not.« »Are you the prophet?« And he answered, »No.«

tcent@John:1:22 @ Then they said to him, »Who are you? Give us an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?«

tcent@John:1:26 @ John answered them, »I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know.

tcent@John:1:31 @ I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.«

tcent@John:1:33 @ I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

tcent@John:1:34 @ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.«

tcent@John:1:36 @ And he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, »Behold, the Lamb of God!«

tcent@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, »What do you seek?« They said to him, »Rabbi« (which means Teacher), »where are you staying?«

tcent@John:1:39 @ He said to them, »Come and see.« They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

tcent@John:1:42 @ He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, »You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas« (which means Peter).

tcent@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.«

tcent@John:1:46 @ And Nathanael said to him, »Can anything good come out of Nazareth?« Philip said to him, »Come and see.«

tcent@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said of him, »Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!«

tcent@John:1:48 @ Nathanael said to him, »How do you know me?« Jesus answered him, »Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.«

tcent@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered him, »Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!«

tcent@John:1:50 @ Jesus answered him, »Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.«

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

tcent@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her, »Woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.«

tcent@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, »Do whatever he tells you.«

tcent@John:2:6 @ Now six stone jars were standing there, according to the manner for purification of the Jews, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

tcent@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them, »Fill the jars with water.« And they filled them up to the brim.

tcent@John:2:9 @ When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

tcent@John:2:11 @ This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

tcent@John:2:13 @ The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

tcent@John:2:14 @ In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers at their business.

tcent@John:2:16 @ And he said to those who sold doves, »Take these things away! You shall not make my Father's house a house of merchandise!«

tcent@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, »Zeal for your house will consume me.«

tcent@John:2:18 @ Then the Jews said to him, »What sign do you show to us, since you do this?«

tcent@John:2:22 @ When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

tcent@John:2:23 @ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did.

tcent@John:2:25 @ and he had no need for anyone to bear witness of man, for he knew what was in man.

tcent@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, »Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.«

tcent@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, »Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

tcent@John:3:6 @ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

tcent@John:3:7 @ Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

tcent@John:3:11 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and testify to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

tcent@John:3:15 @ that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

tcent@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

tcent@John:3:17 @ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

tcent@John:3:19 @ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

tcent@John:3:20 @ For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

tcent@John:3:21 @ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done in God.«

tcent@John:3:23 @ Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

tcent@John:3:27 @ John answered, »A man can receive only what is given to him from heaven.

tcent@John:3:28 @ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but I have been sent before him.

tcent@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now full.

tcent@John:3:32 @ He testifies to what he has seen and heard; yet no one receives his testimony.

tcent@John:3:33 @ He who has received his testimony has certified that God is true.

tcent@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

tcent@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.«

tcent@John:4:1 @ Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

tcent@John:4:5 @ So he came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

tcent@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

tcent@John:4:7 @ There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, »Give me a drink.«

tcent@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to him, »How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?« For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

tcent@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her, »If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.«

tcent@John:4:11 @ The woman said to him, »Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

tcent@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his cattle?«

tcent@John:4:13 @ Jesus answered her, »Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

tcent@John:4:14 @ but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. The water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.«

tcent@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, »Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.«

tcent@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, »Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

tcent@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.«

tcent@John:4:21 @ Jesus said to her, »Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

tcent@John:4:22 @ You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

tcent@John:4:23 @ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him.

tcent@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, »I know that Messiah is coming« (who is called Christ). »When he comes, he will tell us all things.«

tcent@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came. And they marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, »What do you wish?« or, »Why are you talking with her?«

tcent@John:4:28 @ Then the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

tcent@John:4:29 @ »Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?«

tcent@John:4:31 @ Meanwhile his disciples urged him, saying, »Rabbi, eat.«

tcent@John:4:32 @ But he said to them, »I have food to eat of which you do not know.«

tcent@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields! They are already white for harvest.

tcent@John:4:36 @ And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

tcent@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.«

tcent@John:4:39 @ Many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, »He told me all that I ever did.«

tcent@John:4:42 @ They said to the woman, »We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man is indeed the Savior of the world.«

tcent@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

tcent@John:4:45 @ So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.

tcent@John:4:46 @ So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was sick.

tcent@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

tcent@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, »Go; your son will live.« The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way.

tcent@John:4:51 @ As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living.

tcent@John:4:52 @ So he inquired of them the hour when his son got better, and they said to him, »Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.«

tcent@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, »Your son will live.« And he himself believed, and all his household.

tcent@John:4:54 @ This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

tcent@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

tcent@John:5:6 @ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, »Do you want to be made well?«

tcent@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, »Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.«

tcent@John:5:9 @ And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.

tcent@John:5:10 @ So the Jews said to the man who was cured, »It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.«

tcent@John:5:13 @ Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.

tcent@John:5:14 @ Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, »See, you are well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse may happen to you.«

tcent@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

tcent@John:5:16 @ For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

tcent@John:5:17 @ But Jesus answered them, »My Father is working still, and I am working.«

tcent@John:5:18 @ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

tcent@John:5:19 @ Jesus said to them, »Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does.

tcent@John:5:20 @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does; and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

tcent@John:5:21 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom he will.

tcent@John:5:22 @ For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

tcent@John:5:23 @ that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

tcent@John:5:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

tcent@John:5:26 @ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,

tcent@John:5:28 @ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice

tcent@John:5:32 @ There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the testimony which he bears of me is true.

tcent@John:5:34 @ Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

tcent@John:5:36 @ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I am doing, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.

tcent@John:5:37 @ And the Father who sent me has himself testified of me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form.

tcent@John:5:39 @ You search the Scriptures, because in them you think that you have eternal life; and these are they that testify of me.

tcent@John:5:40 @ Yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

tcent@John:5:42 @ But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

tcent@John:5:43 @ I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

tcent@John:5:44 @ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

tcent@John:5:45 @ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.

tcent@John:6:2 @ And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he performed on those who were diseased.

tcent@John:6:3 @ Jesus went up on the mountain, and there sat down with his disciples.

tcent@John:6:5 @ Then Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward him, he said to Philip, »Where shall we buy bread, that these people may eat?«

tcent@John:6:6 @ But this he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

tcent@John:6:9 @ »There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?«

tcent@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, »Make the people sit down.« Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

tcent@John:6:11 @ Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

tcent@John:6:12 @ And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, »Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost.«

tcent@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, left over by those who had eaten.

tcent@John:6:14 @ When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said, »Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.«

tcent@John:6:15 @ Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

tcent@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

tcent@John:6:19 @ So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.

tcent@John:6:21 @ Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

tcent@John:6:22 @ On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

tcent@John:6:23 @ However, boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

tcent@John:6:24 @ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

tcent@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them, »Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

tcent@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal.«

tcent@John:6:28 @ Then they said to him, »What must we do, to be doing the works of God?«

tcent@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them, »This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.«

tcent@John:6:30 @ So they said to him, »What sign will you perform then, that we may see it and believe you? What work will you do?

tcent@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’«

tcent@John:6:32 @ Jesus then said to them, »Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

tcent@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.

tcent@John:6:37 @ All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out.

tcent@John:6:39 @ And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.

tcent@John:6:40 @ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.«

tcent@John:6:42 @ They said, »Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?«

tcent@John:6:44 @ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

tcent@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

tcent@John:6:46 @ Not that any one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

tcent@John:6:49 @ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

tcent@John:6:50 @ This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.

tcent@John:6:51 @ I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.«

tcent@John:6:52 @ Then the Jews began to argue among themselves, saying, »How can this man give us his flesh to eat?«

tcent@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 you.

tcent@John:6:54 @ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

tcent@John:6:56 @ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.

tcent@John:6:57 @ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me.

tcent@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live for ever.«

tcent@John:6:61 @ When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples complained about this, he said to them, »Does this offend you?

tcent@John:6:62 @ What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before?

tcent@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 they are life.

tcent@John:6:65 @ And he said, »This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.«

tcent@John:6:69 @ And we believe, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.«

tcent@John:7:2 @ Now the Jews' feast of Tabernacles was at hand.

tcent@John:7:3 @ So his brothers said to him, »Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are doing.

tcent@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

tcent@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, »Where is he?«

tcent@John:7:22 @ Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

tcent@John:7:23 @ If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

tcent@John:7:26 @ Here he is, speaking publicly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that he is the Christ?

tcent@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, »Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

tcent@John:7:36 @ What does he mean when he said, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?«

tcent@John:7:37 @ On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, »If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

tcent@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.«

tcent@John:7:42 @ Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?«

tcent@John:7:49 @ But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.«

tcent@John:7:51 @ »Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he is doing?«

tcent@John:7:52 @ They replied, »Are you from Galilee, too? Search and look, and you will find that no prophet is to rise out of Galilee.«

tcent@John:8:2 @ Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

tcent@John:8:5 @ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say?«

tcent@John:8:6 @ They said this to test him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

tcent@John:8:7 @ And when they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, »Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.«

tcent@John:8:16 @ And yet if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

tcent@John:8:17 @ In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

tcent@John:8:18 @ I am One who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.«

tcent@John:8:19 @ Then they said to him, »Where is your Father?« Jesus answered, »You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also.«

tcent@John:8:24 @ Therefore I told to you that you would die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.«

tcent@John:8:25 @ They said to him, »Who are you?« Jesus said to them, »Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

tcent@John:8:26 @ I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.«

tcent@John:8:27 @ They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.

tcent@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, »When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak just what the Father taught me.

tcent@John:8:29 @ And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him.«

tcent@John:8:37 @ I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

tcent@John:8:38 @ I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your Father.«

tcent@John:8:39 @ They answered him, »Abraham is our father.« Jesus said to them, »If you were Abraham's children, you would do the things Abraham did,

tcent@John:8:40 @ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

tcent@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father.« They said to him, »We were not born of fornication; we have one Father – God.«

tcent@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, »If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

tcent@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you are not able to hear my word.

tcent@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

tcent@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason you do not hear them is that you are not of God.«

tcent@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, »Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?«

tcent@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, »I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

tcent@John:8:51 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he will never see death.«

tcent@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, »Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’

tcent@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you claim to be?«

tcent@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, »If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

tcent@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad.«

tcent@John:8:59 @ So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

tcent@John:9:2 @ And his disciples asked him, »Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?«

tcent@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, »Neither this man sinned nor his parents sinned. But that the works of God might be revealed in him,

tcent@John:9:6 @ As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the saliva, and anointed the man's eyes with the clay.

tcent@John:9:14 @ Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

tcent@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, »This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.« But others said, »How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?« And there was a division among them.

tcent@John:9:17 @ So they again said to the blind man, »What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?« He said, »He is a prophet.«

tcent@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight.

tcent@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, »We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

tcent@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that he was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

tcent@John:9:24 @ So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, »Give God the glory; we know that this man is a sinner.«

tcent@John:9:25 @ He answered, »Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know. One thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.«

tcent@John:9:26 @ Then they said to him, »What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?«

tcent@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we do not know where he comes from.«

tcent@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

tcent@John:9:32 @ Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.

tcent@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and when he found him, he said, »Do you believe in the Son of Man?«

tcent@John:9:36 @ He answered, »Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?«

tcent@John:9:39 @ Jesus said, »For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.«

tcent@John:9:41 @ Jesus said to them, »If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.

tcent@John:10:6 @ This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

tcent@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

tcent@John:10:12 @ But he who is a hireling and not the shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.

tcent@John:10:15 @ just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

tcent@John:10:16 @ And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

tcent@John:10:17 @ For this reason my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

tcent@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from my Father.«

tcent@John:10:22 @ Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,

tcent@John:10:24 @ So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, »How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.«

tcent@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them, »I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me;

tcent@John:10:28 @ I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

tcent@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.

tcent@John:10:30 @ I and the Father are one.«

tcent@John:10:32 @ Jesus answered them, »I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?«

tcent@John:10:36 @ 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’?

tcent@John:10:37 @ If I do not do the works of my father, do not believe me;

tcent@John:10:38 @ but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.«

tcent@John:10:40 @ He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.

tcent@John:10:41 @ And many came to him and they said, »John performed no sign, but all that John said about this man was true.«

tcent@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard it, he said, »This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.«

tcent@John:11:6 @ So, when he heard that he was sick, he stayed two more days in the place where he was.

tcent@John:11:11 @ These things he said, and after that he said to them, »Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to wake him up.«

tcent@John:11:13 @ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.

tcent@John:11:15 @ and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.«

tcent@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, »Let us also go, that we may die with him.«

tcent@John:11:17 @ So when Jesus came, he found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

tcent@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary sat in the house.

tcent@John:11:22 @ But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.«

tcent@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, »I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.«

tcent@John:11:27 @ She said to him, »Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.«

tcent@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

tcent@John:11:32 @ Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, »Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.«

tcent@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, »Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?«

tcent@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, »Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

tcent@John:11:42 @ I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing by, that they may believe that you sent me.«

tcent@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews therefore, who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.

tcent@John:11:46 @ But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

tcent@John:11:47 @ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, »What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.

tcent@John:11:48 @ If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.«

tcent@John:11:49 @ But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, »You know nothing at all!

tcent@John:11:50 @ You do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.«

tcent@John:11:51 @ He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

tcent@John:11:52 @ and not for that nation only, but also that he would gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

tcent@John:11:53 @ So from that day on they plotted to put him to death.

tcent@John:11:55 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

tcent@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, »What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?«

tcent@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, so that they might arrest him.

tcent@John:12:2 @ There they made him a supper; and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

tcent@John:12:4 @ But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, said,

tcent@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief; and as he had the money box, he used to take what was put into it.

tcent@John:12:9 @ Now a great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

tcent@John:12:10 @ So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus also to death,

tcent@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

tcent@John:12:14 @ Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,

tcent@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

tcent@John:12:17 @ The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness.

tcent@John:12:18 @ For this reason the people went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

tcent@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, »You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, The world has gone after him!«

tcent@John:12:20 @ Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the Feast.

tcent@John:12:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.

tcent@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

tcent@John:12:26 @ If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honor.

tcent@John:12:27 @ »Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, for this purpose I came to this hour.

tcent@John:12:28 @ Father, glorify your name.« Then a voice came from heaven, »I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.«

tcent@John:12:29 @ The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, »An angel has spoken to him.«

tcent@John:12:33 @ He said this to show by what death he was to die.

tcent@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, »We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever; and how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?«

tcent@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.«

tcent@John:12:38 @ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:

tcent@John:12:46 @ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me should not remain in darkness.

tcent@John:12:48 @ He who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will condemn him on the last day.

tcent@John:12:49 @ For I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me gave me a command, what to say and what to speak.

tcent@John:12:50 @ And I know that his command is eternal life. Whatever I say, therefore, I say just as the Father has told me.«

tcent@John:13:1 @ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

tcent@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

tcent@John:13:5 @ After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

tcent@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him, »You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.«

tcent@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, »He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not every one of you.«

tcent@John:13:11 @ For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, »You are not all clean.«

tcent@John:13:12 @ When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and returned to his place, he said to them, »Do you know what I have done to you?

tcent@John:13:15 @ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

tcent@John:13:16 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

tcent@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘he who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’

tcent@John:13:19 @ Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does take place, you may believe that I am he.

tcent@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

tcent@John:13:27 @ Then after the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, »What you are going to do, do quickly.«

tcent@John:13:28 @ But no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

tcent@John:13:29 @ Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, »Buy what we need for the feast«; or, that he should give something to the poor.

tcent@John:13:30 @ Having received the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.

tcent@John:13:32 @ If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.

tcent@John:13:34 @ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

tcent@John:14:2 @ In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

tcent@John:14:3 @ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

tcent@John:14:6 @ Jesus said to him, »I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

tcent@John:14:7 @ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; and from now on you know him and have seen him.«

tcent@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, »Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.«

tcent@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, »Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

tcent@John:14:22 @ Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, »Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?«

tcent@John:14:23 @ Jesus answered 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 home with him.

tcent@John:14:24 @ 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.

tcent@John:15:14 @ You are my friends if you do what I command you.

tcent@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

tcent@John:15:16 @ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.

tcent@John:15:23 @ He who hates me hates my Father also.

tcent@John:15:24 @ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

tcent@John:17:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: »Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you,

tcent@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I kept them in your name – the name you gave me. I have guarded them, and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

tcent@John:17:13 @ But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

tcent@John:17:14 @ I have given them your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

tcent@John:17:15 @ I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one.

tcent@John:17:26 @ I have made known to them your name, and will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.«

tcent@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to come upon him, went forward and said to them, »Whom do you seek?«

tcent@John:18:8 @ Jesus answered, »I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.«

tcent@John:18:9 @ This happened so that the words which he had spoken would be fulfilled, »Of those whom you gave me I have lost none.«

tcent@John:18:11 @ Jesus said to Peter, »Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?«

tcent@John:18:13 @ And they led him to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

tcent@John:18:14 @ Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

tcent@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

tcent@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.«

tcent@John:18:22 @ And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, »Is that the way you answer the high priest?«

tcent@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, »Did I not see you in the garden with him?«

tcent@John:18:27 @ Peter again denied it; and at once a rooster crowed.

tcent@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium themselves, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

tcent@John:18:29 @ So Pilate went out to them and said, »What accusation do you bring against this man?«

tcent@John:18:31 @ Pilate said to them, »Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.« The Jews said to him, »It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.«

tcent@John:18:32 @ This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken would be fulfilled, showing by what death he was going to die.

tcent@John:18:33 @ Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to him, »Are you the King of the Jews?«

tcent@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, »Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?«

tcent@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, »My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingship is not from here.«

tcent@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, »You are a king then?« Jesus answered, »You say what I am—a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.«

tcent@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, »What is truth?«

tcent@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?«

tcent@John:19:1 @ So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

tcent@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again, and said to them, »See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him.«

tcent@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, »Behold the man!«

tcent@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, »Crucify him, crucify him!« Pilate said to them, »You take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.«

tcent@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, »We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.«

tcent@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid,

tcent@John:19:10 @ Pilate said to him, »You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?«

tcent@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered, »You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin.«

tcent@John:19:12 @ From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, »If you let this man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar.«

tcent@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

tcent@John:19:14 @ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover, about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, »Behold your King!«

tcent@John:19:15 @ But they cried out, »Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!« Pilate said to them, »Shall I crucify your King?« The chief priests answered, »We have no King but Caesar.«

tcent@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. It read:

tcent@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

tcent@John:19:21 @ The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, »Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’«

tcent@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, »What I have written, I have written.«

tcent@John:19:24 @ So they said to one another, »Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be.« This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

tcent@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, »Behold, your mother!« And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

tcent@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, »I thirst.«

tcent@John:19:31 @ Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

tcent@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

tcent@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

tcent@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth, that you also may believe.

tcent@John:19:36 @ For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, »Not one of his bones shall be broken.«

tcent@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.

tcent@John:19:39 @ And Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

tcent@John:19:42 @ So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

tcent@John:20:1 @ On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

tcent@John:20:7 @ and the napkin that had been around his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a place by itself.

tcent@John:20:9 @ For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

tcent@John:20:12 @ And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet.

tcent@John:20:14 @ Saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

tcent@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, »Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, »I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’«

tcent@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene went and said to the disciples, »I have seen the Lord!« And she told them that he had said these things to her.

tcent@John:20:19 @ On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, »Peace be with you.«

tcent@John:20:21 @ Jesus said to them again, »Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I also send you.«

tcent@John:20:22 @ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, »Receive the Holy Spirit.

tcent@John:20:26 @ Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, »Peace be with you!«

tcent@John:20:31 @ but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

tcent@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

tcent@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, »I am going fishing.« They said to him, »We will go with you.« They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing.

tcent@John:21:4 @ But early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

tcent@John:21:6 @ He said to them, »Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.« So they cast, and now they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

tcent@John:21:7 @ Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, »It is the Lord!« Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and threw himself into the sea.

tcent@John:21:8 @ But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, but about a hundred yards off.

tcent@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, »Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?« He said to him, »Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.« He said to him, »Feed my lambs.«

tcent@John:21:16 @ He said to him again a second time, »Simon, son of John, do you love me?« He said to him, »Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.« He said to him, »Tend my sheep.«

tcent@John:21:17 @ 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, »Feed my sheep.

tcent@John:21:19 @ This he said to show by what death he would glorify God. And after this he said to him, »Follow me.«

tcent@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had leaned on his breast at the supper and had said, »Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?«

tcent@John:21:21 @ When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, »Lord, what about this man?«

tcent@John:21:22 @ Jesus said to him, »If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.«

tcent@John:21:23 @ Then the saying spread among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, »If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?«

tcent@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who testifies to these things, and who wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

tcent@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did. If every one of them were to be written, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

tcent@Acts:1:1 @ In the first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,

tcent@Acts:1:4 @ And while staying with them, he commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, »Which,« he said, »you heard of from me;

tcent@Acts:1:5 @ for John baptized with water, but before many days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.«

tcent@Acts:1:6 @ So when they had come together, they asked him, »Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?«

tcent@Acts:1:7 @ He said to them, »It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:1:12 @ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

tcent@Acts:1:13 @ And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying; 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.

tcent@Acts:1:19 @ And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

tcent@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,

tcent@Acts:1:23 @ So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.

tcent@Acts:1:26 @ And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.

tcent@Acts:2:5 @ Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.

tcent@Acts:2:6 @ And at this sound the crowd came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

tcent@Acts:2:8 @ And how is it that we hear them, each of us in his own native language?

tcent@Acts:2:12 @ And they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, »What does this mean?«

tcent@Acts:2:16 @ but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

tcent@Acts:2:22 @ »Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:2:24 @ But God raised him up, having loosed the agony of death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.

tcent@Acts:2:29 @ »Brethren, I may say to you confidently of the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

tcent@Acts:2:30 @ And so, because he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,

tcent@Acts:2:32 @ This Jesus God raised up again, and of that we are all witnesses.

tcent@Acts:2:33 @ Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:2:37 @ Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, »Brethren, what shall we do?«

tcent@Acts:2:40 @ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, »Save yourselves from this perverse generation.«

tcent@Acts:2:41 @ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

tcent@Acts:2:46 @ And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they ate together with glad and sincere hearts,

tcent@Acts:3:1 @ Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

tcent@Acts:3:2 @ And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to beg alms of those who entered the temple.

tcent@Acts:3:4 @ And Peter, along with John, directed his gaze at him, and said, »Look at us.«

tcent@Acts:3:5 @ And he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

tcent@Acts:3:6 @ But Peter said, »I do not have silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.«

tcent@Acts:3:7 @ And taking him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

tcent@Acts:3:10 @ and they recognized him as 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.

tcent@Acts:3:12 @ And when Peter saw this he addressed the people, »Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:4:13 @ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

tcent@Acts:4:16 @ saying, »What shall we do with these men? For that a noteworthy miracle has been performed through them is apparent to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:4:25 @ who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, said,

tcent@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,

tcent@Acts:4:28 @ to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.

tcent@Acts:4:29 @ And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

tcent@Acts:4:31 @ And when they had prayed, the place where they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.

tcent@Acts:4:32 @ Now the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common.

tcent@Acts:4:33 @ And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

tcent@Acts:4:35 @ and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.

tcent@Acts:4:36 @ Thus Joseph who was called by the apostles Barnabas (which means, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

tcent@Acts:4:37 @ sold a field which he owned, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.

tcent@Acts:5:2 @ and with his wife's full knowledge he kept back some of the money for himself, and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles' feet.

tcent@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?

tcent@Acts:5:4 @ While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.«

tcent@Acts:5:5 @ When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.

tcent@Acts:5:7 @ After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

tcent@Acts:5:8 @ Peter said to her, »Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price.« And she said, »Yes, that was the price.«

tcent@Acts:5:9 @ Then Peter said to her, »How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.«

tcent@Acts:5:10 @ Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

tcent@Acts:5:11 @ And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of these things.

tcent@Acts:5:15 @ so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and pallets, so that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

tcent@Acts:5:16 @ The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

tcent@Acts:5:17 @ But the high priest rose up and all who were with him, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and they were filled with jealousy.

tcent@Acts:5:21 @ And when they heard 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.

tcent@Acts:5:23 @ »We found the prison securely locked, and the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.«

tcent@Acts:5:24 @ Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed about them, wondering what would come of this.

tcent@Acts:5:26 @ Then the captain went along with the officers and brought them back without violence, for they were afraid of the people, that they might be stoned.

tcent@Acts:5:29 @ But Peter and the apostles answered, »We must obey God rather than men.

tcent@Acts:5:30 @ The God of our fathers raised Jesus—whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree.

tcent@Acts:5:35 @ And he said to them, »Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men.

tcent@Acts:5:37 @ After this man, Judas the Galilean 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.

tcent@Acts:5:41 @ Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.

tcent@Acts:6:1 @ Now in those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the native Hebrews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

tcent@Acts:6:2 @ So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, »It is not right for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables.

tcent@Acts:6:3 @ Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this duty.

tcent@Acts:6:5 @ And the statement pleased 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.

tcent@Acts:6:7 @ The word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

tcent@Acts:6:8 @ And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

tcent@Acts:6:14 @ for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses handed down to us.«

tcent@Acts:6:15 @ And fixing their gaze on him, all who were sitting in the Council saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

tcent@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,

tcent@Acts:7:3 @ and said to him, ‘Leave your country and your relatives, and go into the land that I will show you.’

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:7:5 @ But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, even though he had no child, he promised that he would give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:7:7 @ ‘But I will judge the nation which they serve,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and worship me in this place.’

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:7:9 @ »And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. But God was with him,

tcent@Acts:7:11 @ Now there came a famine throughout all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers could find no food.

tcent@Acts:7:12 @ But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time.

tcent@Acts:7:13 @ At the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was made known to Pharaoh.

tcent@Acts:7:14 @ Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and all his relatives to him, seventy-five persons in all.

tcent@Acts:7:15 @ And Jacob went down to Egypt, and there he and our fathers died.

tcent@Acts:7:16 @ They were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

tcent@Acts:7:19 @ He dealt craftily with our race and forced our fathers to expose their infants, so that they would not survive.

tcent@Acts:7:20 @ At this time Moses was born, and was beautiful before God. And he was brought up for three months in his father's house;

tcent@Acts:7:22 @ Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.

tcent@Acts:7:24 @ And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended him and avenged the oppressed by striking down the Egyptian.

tcent@Acts:7:25 @ And he supposed that his brethren understood that God was granting them deliverance through him, but they did not understand.

tcent@Acts:7:29 @ At this remark Moses fled, and became an exile in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

tcent@Acts:7:31 @ When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the voice of the Lord:

tcent@Acts:7:32 @ ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

tcent@Acts:7:38 @ This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; and he received living oracles to pass on to us.

tcent@Acts:7:39 @ But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,

tcent@Acts:7:40 @ saying to Aaron, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us; as for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt—we do not know what has happened to him.’

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:7:44 @ »Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen.

tcent@Acts:7:45 @ And having received it in their turn, our fathers brought it in with Joshua when they took the land from the nations whom God drove out before our fathers. So it was until the time of David,

tcent@Acts:7:46 @ who found favor in God's sight, and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.

tcent@Acts:7:51 @ »You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. You are doing just as your fathers did.

tcent@Acts:7:52 @ Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered,

tcent@Acts:7:54 @ Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed their teeth at him.

tcent@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;

tcent@Acts:7:56 @ and he said, »Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.«

tcent@Acts:7:58 @ Then they cast him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

tcent@Acts:8:1 @ Saul was consenting to his death.

tcent@Acts:8:2 @ Devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

tcent@Acts:8:4 @ Now those who had been scattered went about preaching the word.

tcent@Acts:8:6 @ The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.

tcent@Acts:8:8 @ So there was much joy in that city.

tcent@Acts:8:9 @ Now there was a man named Simon, who had formerly practiced magic in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,

tcent@Acts:8:10 @ and they all, from the least to the greatest, gave attention to him, saying, »This man is what is called the Great Power of God.«

tcent@Acts:8:13 @ Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.

tcent@Acts:8:14 @ Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John,

tcent@Acts:8:15 @ who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Acts:8:18 @ Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

tcent@Acts:8:19 @ saying, »Give me also this power, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.«

tcent@Acts:8:21 @ You have no part or share in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.

tcent@Acts:8:22 @ Repent therefore of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

tcent@Acts:8:23 @ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.«

tcent@Acts:8:24 @ And Simon answered, »Pray for me to the Lord, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.«

tcent@Acts:8:26 @ But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, »Get up and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.« This is a desert road.

tcent@Acts:8:30 @ So Philip ran up to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, »Do you understand what you are reading?«

tcent@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, »Look, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?«

tcent@Acts:8:38 @ And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

tcent@Acts:8:39 @ And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.

tcent@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

tcent@Acts:9:1 @ Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:9:6 @ but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.«

tcent@Acts:9:9 @ And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

tcent@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.«

tcent@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,

tcent@Acts:9:12 @ and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.«

tcent@Acts:9:13 @ But Ananias answered, »Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints at Jerusalem;

tcent@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.«

tcent@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,

tcent@Acts:9:20 @ And immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, »He is the Son of God.«

tcent@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

tcent@Acts:9:24 @ but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night, to kill him;

tcent@Acts:9:26 @ When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

tcent@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

tcent@Acts:9:32 @ Now as Peter went through all those regions, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

tcent@Acts:9:34 @ Peter said to him, »Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed.« Immediately he got up.

tcent@Acts:9:35 @ And all who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

tcent@Acts:9:36 @ Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which is translated Dorcas). She was full of good works and acts of charity.

tcent@Acts:9:37 @ And at that time she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her body in an upper room.

tcent@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, »Please come to us without delay.«

tcent@Acts:9:39 @ So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing the tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them.

tcent@Acts:9:40 @ But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body, he said, »Tabitha, arise.« And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

tcent@Acts:10:1 @ At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

tcent@Acts:10:4 @ And he stared at him in terror, and said, »What is it, Lord?« And he said to him, »Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

tcent@Acts:10:7 @ When the angel who spoke to him had left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants,

tcent@Acts:10:10 @ And he became hungry and was desiring something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance

tcent@Acts:10:11 @ and he saw heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners to the earth.

tcent@Acts:10:13 @ A voice came to him, »Get up, Peter. Kill and eat!«

tcent@Acts:10:14 @ But Peter said, »No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.«

tcent@Acts:10:15 @ And the voice came to him again a second time, »What God has cleansed, you must not call common.«

tcent@Acts:10:16 @ This happened three times, and immediately the thing was taken up to heaven.

tcent@Acts:10:17 @ Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, appeared at the gate.

tcent@Acts:10:20 @ But get up, go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, for I have sent them myself.«

tcent@Acts:10:21 @ Peter went down to the men and said, »Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason you have come?«

tcent@Acts:10:22 @ They said, »Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say.«

tcent@Acts:10:24 @ On the following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

tcent@Acts:10:25 @ When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshipped him.

tcent@Acts:10:28 @ And he said to them, »You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

tcent@Acts:10:33 @ So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.«

tcent@Acts:10:34 @ And opening his mouth, Peter said: »I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality,

tcent@Acts:10:35 @ but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is welcome to him.

tcent@Acts:10:37 @ You know what has happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

tcent@Acts:10:39 @ We are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree;

tcent@Acts:10:41 @ not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

tcent@Acts:10:42 @ And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.

tcent@Acts:10:43 @ Of him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.«

tcent@Acts:10:47 @ »Can anyone refuse the water for these people to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?«

tcent@Acts:11:1 @ Now the apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

tcent@Acts:11:3 @ saying, »You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.«

tcent@Acts:11:5 @ »I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, something descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came down to me.

tcent@Acts:11:7 @ Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat!’

tcent@Acts:11:9 @ But the voice answered a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:11:12 @ The Spirit told me to go with them with no hesitation. These six brethren also went with me, and we entered the man's house.

tcent@Acts:11:15 @ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.

tcent@Acts:11:16 @ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

tcent@Acts:11:17 @ So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could oppose God?«

tcent@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.

tcent@Acts:11:21 @ The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

tcent@Acts:11:22 @ News of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

tcent@Acts:11:24 @ for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great number of people were brought to the Lord.

tcent@Acts:11:26 @ and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year they met with the church and taught great numbers of people; and the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

tcent@Acts:11:27 @ Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

tcent@Acts:11:28 @ One of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine all over the world. And this took place in the reign of Claudius.

tcent@Acts:12:1 @ Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to persecute them.

tcent@Acts:12:2 @ He had James the brother of John put to death with the sword.

tcent@Acts:12:3 @ When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.

tcent@Acts:12:9 @ So he went out and followed him; and he did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

tcent@Acts:12:10 @ When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.

tcent@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, »Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.«

tcent@Acts:12:12 @ 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.

tcent@Acts:12:13 @ And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer.

tcent@Acts:12:14 @ When she recognized Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

tcent@Acts:12:15 @ They said to her, »You are out of your mind!« But she kept insisting that it was so. They said, »It is his angel.«

tcent@Acts:12:18 @ Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

tcent@Acts:12:19 @ When Herod had searched for him and could not find him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there a while.

tcent@Acts:12:21 @ On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and made an address to them.

tcent@Acts:12:23 @ Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

tcent@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church that was at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

tcent@Acts:13:5 @ When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John as their helper.

tcent@Acts:13:8 @ But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

tcent@Acts:13:9 @ But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

tcent@Acts:13:11 @ Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.« And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

tcent@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had happened, for he was amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

tcent@Acts:13:14 @ But they passed on from Perga and came to Pisidian Antioch. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

tcent@Acts:13:15 @ After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, »Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it.«

tcent@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 uplifted arm he led them out of it.

tcent@Acts:13:19 @ When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years.

tcent@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was completing his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

tcent@Acts:13:26 @ »Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.

tcent@Acts:13:27 @ For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor the utterances of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning him.

tcent@Acts:13:28 @ Though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.

tcent@Acts:13:29 @ When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

tcent@Acts:13:32 @ And we preach to you the good news that what God promised to the fathers,

tcent@Acts:13:34 @ As for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to decay, he spoke in this way:

tcent@Acts:13:36 @ For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers and saw decay;

tcent@Acts:13:38 @ Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

tcent@Acts:13:40 @ Therefore take care, so that what is said in the prophets may not come upon you:

tcent@Acts:13:42 @ As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people begged that these things might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.

tcent@Acts:13:44 @ The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.

tcent@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted what was spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

tcent@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 reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

tcent@Acts:14:1 @ Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great number believed, both of Jews and of Greeks.

tcent@Acts:14:5 @ When an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them,

tcent@Acts:14:8 @ At Lystra there was a man sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from birth, who had never walked.

tcent@Acts:14:9 @ He listened to Paul speaking; and Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well,

tcent@Acts:14:11 @ And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, »The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!«

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:14:15 @ »Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, and bring you good news, 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.

tcent@Acts:14:16 @ In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own ways;

tcent@Acts:14:17 @ 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.«

tcent@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews came there from Antioch and Iconium; and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

tcent@Acts:14:20 @ But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and entered the city. And the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.

tcent@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,

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:14:25 @ And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

tcent@Acts:14:27 @ When they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

tcent@Acts:15:2 @ And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.

tcent@Acts:15:3 @ So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, reporting the conversion of the Gentiles, and they gave great joy to all the brethren.

tcent@Acts:15:4 @ When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them.

tcent@Acts:15:6 @ The apostles and the elders came together to consider this matter.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:15:10 @ Now therefore why do you test God by putting upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

tcent@Acts:15:11 @ But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.«

tcent@Acts:15:12 @ All the assembly kept silent; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

tcent@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has related how God first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for his name.

tcent@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore it is my judgment that we should not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

tcent@Acts:15:20 @ but that we should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.

tcent@Acts:15:21 @ For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.«

tcent@Acts:15:24 @ Since we have heard that some persons from us have disturbed you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions,

tcent@Acts:15:28 @ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials:

tcent@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 these, you will do well. Farewell.«

tcent@Acts:15:30 @ So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch; and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.

tcent@Acts:15:31 @ And when they read it, they rejoiced at its encouragement.

tcent@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul kept insisting that they should not take along one who had deserted them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

tcent@Acts:15:39 @ There arose such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

tcent@Acts:16:1 @ And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek,

tcent@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted this man to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

tcent@Acts:16:6 @ And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

tcent@Acts:16:10 @ When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

tcent@Acts:16:13 @ and on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had come together.

tcent@Acts:16:14 @ A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, who was a worshiper of God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

tcent@Acts:16:16 @ It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave-girl who had a spirit of divination. She brought her owners much profit by fortune-telling.

tcent@Acts:16:17 @ She followed Paul and the rest of us, crying, »These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way of salvation.«

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities,

tcent@Acts:16:20 @ and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said, »These men are Jews and they are throwing our city into an uproar.

tcent@Acts:16:21 @ They advocate customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to accept or practice.«

tcent@Acts:16:22 @ The crowd joined against them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and ordered them to be beaten with rods.

tcent@Acts:16:26 @ and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

tcent@Acts:16:27 @ When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

tcent@Acts:16:30 @ He brought them out and said, »Sirs, what must I do to be saved?«

tcent@Acts:16:33 @ He took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his family.

tcent@Acts:16:34 @ Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them; and he rejoiced with his whole household that he had believed in God.

tcent@Acts:16:35 @ But when it was day, the magistrates sent their police, saying, »Release those men.«

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, »They have beaten us publicly, without trial, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.«

tcent@Acts:16:38 @ The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.

tcent@Acts:17:3 @ explaining and proving 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.«

tcent@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men from the market place, they formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; they attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the people.

tcent@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has welcomed them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.«

tcent@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

tcent@Acts:17:11 @ Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

tcent@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there too, agitating and stirring up the crowds.

tcent@Acts:17:14 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul out to go as far as the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.

tcent@Acts:17:18 @ And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some said, »What would this idle babbler wish to say?« Others, »He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities,«—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.

tcent@Acts:17:19 @ And they took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, »May we know what this new teaching is which you present?

tcent@Acts:17:20 @ For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean.«

tcent@Acts:17:21 @ (Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

tcent@Acts:17:22 @ So Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: »Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.

tcent@Acts:17:23 @ For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.

tcent@Acts:17:25 @ nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything.

tcent@Acts:17:26 @ And he made from one man every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:17:29 @ Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.

tcent@Acts:18:1 @ After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.

tcent@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 went to see them,

tcent@Acts:18:4 @ And every Sabbath he was reasoning in the synagogue, and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

tcent@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

tcent@Acts:18:10 @ for I am with you, and no man will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.«

tcent@Acts:18:12 @ But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

tcent@Acts:18:14 @ But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, »If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;

tcent@Acts:18:15 @ but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I refuse to be a judge of these things.«

tcent@Acts:18:16 @ And he drove them from the judgment seat.

tcent@Acts:18:17 @ And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio paid no attention to this.

tcent@Acts:18:22 @ When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.

tcent@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

tcent@Acts:18:24 @ Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures.

tcent@Acts:18:25 @ He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:18:27 @ And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace,

tcent@Acts:18:28 @ for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, proving by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

tcent@Acts:19:1 @ While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples.

tcent@Acts:19:2 @ And he said to them, »Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?« And they said, »No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.«

tcent@Acts:19:3 @ And he said, »Into what then were you baptized?« They said, »Into John's baptism.«

tcent@Acts:19:4 @ Paul said, »John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.«

tcent@Acts:19:9 @ But when some were stubborn and disbelieved, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them, and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.

tcent@Acts:19:10 @ This took place for two years, so that all who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

tcent@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.

tcent@Acts:19:13 @ But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, »I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.«

tcent@Acts:19:16 @ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered all of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

tcent@Acts:19:23 @ About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.

tcent@Acts:19:25 @ These he gathered together, with the workmen of similar trades, and said, »Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth.

tcent@Acts:19:26 @ And 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.

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:19:28 @ When they heard this, they were enraged and began crying out, »Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!«

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:19:31 @ Some of the Asiarchs also, who were friends of his, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

tcent@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all with one voice shouted, »Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!«

tcent@Acts:19:35 @ And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he 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?

tcent@Acts:19:40 @ As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's events. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.«

tcent@Acts:20:4 @ 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.

tcent@Acts:20:5 @ These went on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas.

tcent@Acts:20:6 @ But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days came to them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:20:8 @ There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:20:12 @ They took away the boy alive, and were greatly comforted.

tcent@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

tcent@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 after that we came to Miletus.

tcent@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.

tcent@Acts:20:18 @ And when they came to him, he said to them: »You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day that I set foot in Asia,

tcent@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,

tcent@Acts:20:22 @ And now, behold, bound in the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

tcent@Acts:20:23 @ except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

tcent@Acts:20:25 @ And now, behold, I know that all of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will see my face no more.

tcent@Acts:20:26 @ Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

tcent@Acts:20:29 @ I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

tcent@Acts:20:31 @ Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night and day to admonish each one with tears.

tcent@Acts:20:34 @ You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me.

tcent@Acts:20:35 @ In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’«

tcent@Acts:20:38 @ grieving most of all over the word which he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they accompanied him to the ship.

tcent@Acts:21:1 @ When we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

tcent@Acts:21:3 @ When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

tcent@Acts:21:7 @ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we greeted the brethren and stayed with them for a day.

tcent@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.’«

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:21:17 @ When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

tcent@Acts:21:19 @ After he had greeted them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

tcent@Acts:21:21 @ and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or to walk according to the customs.

tcent@Acts:21:22 @ What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

tcent@Acts:21:23 @ Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;

tcent@Acts:21:24 @ take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself live in observance of the law.

tcent@Acts:21:25 @ But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote to them our decision that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication.«

tcent@Acts:21:26 @ The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each one of them.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:21:30 @ Then all the city was aroused, and the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.

tcent@Acts:21:31 @ While they were trying to kill him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:21:33 @ Then the commander came up and arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.

tcent@Acts:21:40 @ When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned to the people with his hand; and when there was a great hush, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

tcent@Acts:22:1 @ »Brethren and fathers, hear my defense which I now offer to you.«

tcent@Acts:22:2 @ And when they heard that he addressed them in the Hebrew language, they became more quiet. And he said:

tcent@Acts:22:3 @ »I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as you all are today.

tcent@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women,

tcent@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.’

tcent@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.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:22:14 @ Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth.

tcent@Acts:22:15 @ For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

tcent@Acts:22:19 @ And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I used to imprison and beat those who believed in you.

tcent@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 citizen.«

tcent@Acts:22:29 @ So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately; and the commander also was afraid when he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had put him in chains.

tcent@Acts:23:1 @ And Paul, looking intently at the council, said, »Brethren, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.«

tcent@Acts:23:5 @ And Paul said, »I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’«

tcent@Acts:23:6 @ But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, »Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead I am on trial.«

tcent@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

tcent@Acts:23:9 @ There occurred a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, »We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?«

tcent@Acts:23:10 @ The dispute became so violent that 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.

tcent@Acts:23:11 @ The following night the Lord stood by him and said, »Take courage, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must bear witness also at Rome.«

tcent@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

tcent@Acts:23:14 @ They went 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.

tcent@Acts:23:19 @ The commander took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, »What is it that you have to tell me?«

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:23:21 @ But do not yield to them; for more than forty of them are waiting in ambush for him, having bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you.«

tcent@Acts:23:22 @ So the commander dismissed the young man, instructing him, »Tell no one that you have informed me of this.«

tcent@Acts:23:23 @ Then he called two of the centurions and said, »At the third hour of the night get ready two hundred soldiers with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesarea.

tcent@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

tcent@Acts:23:29 @ I found that he was accused over questions about their Law, but there was no accusation against him deserving death or imprisonment.

tcent@Acts:23:30 @ And when I was informed that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also instructing his accusers to bring charges against him before you.«

tcent@Acts:23:31 @ So the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

tcent@Acts:23:34 @ When he had read the letter, he asked from what province he was, and when he learned that he was from Cilicia,

tcent@Acts:24:1 @ After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders, with an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor.

tcent@Acts:24:4 @ But, that I may not weary you further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly.

tcent@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.

tcent@Acts:24:9 @ The Jews also joined in the attack, asserting that these things were so.

tcent@Acts:24:10 @ When the governor had motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: »Realizing that for many years you have been a judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense.

tcent@Acts:24:11 @ Since you can easily verify that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

tcent@Acts:24:14 @ But this I admit to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect I do worship the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,

tcent@Acts:24:15 @ having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there will certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

tcent@Acts:24:17 @ Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings.

tcent@Acts:24:19 @ who ought to be here before you and to make accusation, if they should have anything against me.

tcent@Acts:24:20 @ Or else let these men themselves tell what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the Council,

tcent@Acts:24:24 @ But some days later Felix came with Drusilla, his wife who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Acts:24:26 @ At the same time, he was hoping that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him.

tcent@Acts:25:4 @ Festus answered that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and that he himself intended to go there shortly.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:25:8 @ Paul said in his defense, »Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all.«

tcent@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 the charges brought against me is true, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.«

tcent@Acts:25:13 @ Now when a few days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus.

tcent@Acts:25:15 @ and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for sentence against him.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:25:17 @ When therefore they came together here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:25:23 @ So on the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high ranking officers and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

tcent@Acts:25:24 @ Festus said, »King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.

tcent@Acts:25:25 @ But I found that he had done nothing deserving of death; and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him.

tcent@Acts:25:26 @ But 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.

tcent@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.«

tcent@Acts:26:2 @ »I consider myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am to make my defense today against all the accusations of the Jews,

tcent@Acts:26:3 @ because you are especially familiar with all customs and controversies of the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

tcent@Acts:26:4 @ So then, all the Jews know my manner of life from my youth up, which from the beginning was spent among my own nation and at Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:26:5 @ They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

tcent@Acts:26:6 @ And now I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;

tcent@Acts:26:7 @ 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.

tcent@Acts:26:8 @ Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?

tcent@Acts:26:9 @ I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

tcent@Acts:26:10 @ And that is just what I did in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.

tcent@Acts:26:13 @ At midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me.

tcent@Acts:26:18 @ to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

tcent@Acts:26:20 @ but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.

tcent@Acts:26:22 @ To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

tcent@Acts:26:23 @ that the Christ must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.«

tcent@Acts:26:24 @ And as he was saying this in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, »Paul, you are out of your mind! Your great learning is driving you mad.«

tcent@Acts:26:26 @ For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.

tcent@Acts:26:27 @ King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do.«

tcent@Acts:26:29 @ And Paul said, »Whether in a short or a long time, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.«

tcent@Acts:26:31 @ and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, »This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment.«

tcent@Acts:27:1 @ When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.

tcent@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and allowed him to go to his friends and be cared for.

tcent@Acts:27:5 @ When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.

tcent@Acts:27:10 @ and said to them, »Men, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.«

tcent@Acts:27:11 @ But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship than by what was being said by Paul.

tcent@Acts:27:12 @ Because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

tcent@Acts:27:13 @ When a gentle south wind came up, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore.

tcent@Acts:27:16 @ And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were scarcely able to secure the boat.

tcent@Acts:27:17 @ After they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables to undergird the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.

tcent@Acts:27:25 @ So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen exactly as I have been told.

tcent@Acts:27:27 @ But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to sense that they were approaching land.

tcent@Acts:27:28 @ They took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.

tcent@Acts:27:29 @ Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.

tcent@Acts:27:30 @ But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the lifeboat into the sea, on the pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

tcent@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the lifeboat and let it fall away.

tcent@Acts:27:33 @ As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, »Today is the fourteenth day that you have been in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.

tcent@Acts:27:35 @ Having said this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat.

tcent@Acts:27:36 @ Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.

tcent@Acts:27:38 @ When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.

tcent@Acts:27:40 @ So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders; then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.

tcent@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape.

tcent@Acts:27:44 @ and the rest on planks or on various pieces of the ship. And so it happened that they were all brought safely to land.

tcent@Acts:28:1 @ When we had been brought safely through, then we found out that the island was called Malta.

tcent@Acts:28:2 @ The natives showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.

tcent@Acts:28:3 @ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.

tcent@Acts:28:4 @ When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, »No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live.«

tcent@Acts:28:5 @ However he shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.

tcent@Acts:28:6 @ They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but after they had waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

tcent@Acts:28:7 @ Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

tcent@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed sick 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.

tcent@Acts:28:12 @ After we put in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.

tcent@Acts:28:13 @ 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.

tcent@Acts:28:16 @ And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

tcent@Acts:28:17 @ After three days Paul called together the local leaders of the Jews; and when they had gathered, he said to them, »Brethren, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

tcent@Acts:28:18 @ And when they had examined me, they were willing to release me because there was no ground for putting me to death.

tcent@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar—not that I had any charge to bring against my own nation.

tcent@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.«

tcent@Acts:28:22 @ But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.«

tcent@Acts:28:23 @ When they had appointed a day for Paul, they came to him at his lodging in great numbers. And he explained the matter to them from morning till evening, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the law of Moses and from the prophets.

tcent@Acts:28:24 @ Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.

tcent@Acts:28:25 @ When they disagreed among themselves, they began to leave, after Paul had made one final statement: »The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

tcent@Acts:28:28 @ Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.«

tcent@Romans:1:5 @ Through him we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

tcent@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,

tcent@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last find the way to come to you.

tcent@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—

tcent@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.

tcent@Romans:1:13 @ I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have some harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

tcent@Romans:1:14 @ I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish:

tcent@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

tcent@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth,

tcent@Romans:1:19 @ for what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

tcent@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his eternal power and deity, has been clearly seen, being understood by the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

tcent@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

tcent@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural.

tcent@Romans:1:27 @ And the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

tcent@Romans:1:28 @ And since they did not see fit to retain the knowledge of God, God gave them over to a base mind, to do what ought not to be done.

tcent@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

tcent@Romans:1:32 @ Though they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

tcent@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge another; for in whatever point you pass judgment on him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.

tcent@Romans:2:2 @ We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.

tcent@Romans:2:3 @ Do you think, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do the same yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?

tcent@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

tcent@Romans:2:5 @ But by your hardness and your impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

tcent@Romans:2:7 @ to those who by patience in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life;

tcent@Romans:2:8 @ but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.

tcent@Romans:2:9 @ There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,

tcent@Romans:2:14 @ When Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

tcent@Romans:2:15 @ They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing them

tcent@Romans:2:16 @ on that day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

tcent@Romans:2:17 @ But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law and boast of your relation to God

tcent@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and approve of what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,

tcent@Romans:2:19 @ and if you are sure that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

tcent@Romans:2:22 @ You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

tcent@Romans:2:29 @ He is a Jew who is one inwardly; and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, and not by the written code. His praise is not from men but from God.

tcent@Romans:3:1 @ Then what advantage has the Jew, or what is the value of circumcision?

tcent@Romans:3:3 @ What if some did not have faith? Will their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

tcent@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)

tcent@Romans:3:8 @ Why not say – as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say—»Let us do evil that good may come«? Their condemnation is just.

tcent@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? Certainly not; for we have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin.

tcent@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

tcent@Romans:3:24 @ and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

tcent@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an atoning sacrifice by his blood, to be received through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over sins committed beforehand;

tcent@Romans:3:26 @ and it was to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

tcent@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is our boasting? It is excluded. On what law? On the law of works? No, but on the law of faith.

tcent@Romans:3:28 @ For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

tcent@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?

tcent@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scripture say? »Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.«

tcent@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessedness only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

tcent@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be reckoned to them.

tcent@Romans:4:12 @ And he is also the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:13 @ The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that he would be heir of the world, was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

tcent@Romans:4:15 @ because the law brings wrath, for where there is no law there is no transgression.

tcent@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all

tcent@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, »I have made you the father of many nations«) in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls things that do not exist as though they did.

tcent@Romans:4:18 @ In hope, he believed against hope, so that he became the father of many nations; as he had been told, »So shall your descendants be.«

tcent@Romans:4:20 @ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

tcent@Romans:4:21 @ being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.

tcent@Romans:4:22 @ That is why it was »reckoned to him as righteousness.«

tcent@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered to death for our sins and was raised for our justification.

tcent@Romans:5:3 @ And not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

tcent@Romans:5:6 @ When we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

tcent@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

tcent@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.

tcent@Romans:5:10 @ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

tcent@Romans:5:11 @ Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

tcent@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all men, because all men sinned.

tcent@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

tcent@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift following many trespasses brings justification.

tcent@Romans:5:17 @ For if, by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

tcent@Romans:5:18 @ So then, as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

tcent@Romans:5:20 @ Law came in, that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

tcent@Romans:5:21 @ so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

tcent@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

tcent@Romans:6:3 @ Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

tcent@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

tcent@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

tcent@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

tcent@Romans:6:8 @ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

tcent@Romans:6:9 @ For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

tcent@Romans:6:10 @ The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

tcent@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you obey its passions.

tcent@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

tcent@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

tcent@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one to obey as slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

tcent@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

tcent@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for holiness.

tcent@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

tcent@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is holiness and its end, eternal life.

tcent@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

tcent@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, brethren—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

tcent@Romans:7:3 @ So then, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and though she marries another man, she is not an adulteress.

tcent@Romans:7:4 @ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit to God.

tcent@Romans:7:5 @ While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

tcent@Romans:7:6 @ But now, by dying to what once held us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

tcent@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, »You shall not covet.«

tcent@Romans:7:10 @ The very commandment which was to bring life I found to be death to me.

tcent@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But it was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond measure.

tcent@Romans:7:14 @ We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

tcent@Romans:7:15 @ I do not understand what I do. For I do not do what I want to do, but I do what I hate.

tcent@Romans:7:16 @ Now if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.

tcent@Romans:7:17 @ So then, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

tcent@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will to do what is good, but I cannot do it.

tcent@Romans:7:19 @ For I do not do the good I want to do; but the evil I do not want to do is what I do.

tcent@Romans:7:20 @ Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

tcent@Romans:7:21 @ So I find it to be a law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

tcent@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my members another law, at war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members.

tcent@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

tcent@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

tcent@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do, in that it was weakened through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin: he condemned sin in the flesh,

tcent@Romans:8:4 @ in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

tcent@Romans:8:6 @ To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

tcent@Romans:8:7 @ For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so;

tcent@Romans:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

tcent@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship by whom we cry out, »Abba, Father.«

tcent@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

tcent@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, in order that we may also be glorified with him.

tcent@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed in us.

tcent@Romans:8:19 @ For the creation waits with eager expectation for the revealing of the sons of God.

tcent@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;

tcent@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.

tcent@Romans:8:22 @ We know that the whole creation has been groaning in birth pangs together until now.

tcent@Romans:8:23 @ And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

tcent@Romans:8:24 @ For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

tcent@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

tcent@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

tcent@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

tcent@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

tcent@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

tcent@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

tcent@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who is also interceding for us.

tcent@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

tcent@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

tcent@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

tcent@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

tcent@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

tcent@Romans:9:5 @ Of them are the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, forever blessed. Amen.

tcent@Romans:9:9 @ For this is what the promise said: »About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son.«

tcent@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man, our father Isaac,

tcent@Romans:9:11 @ though the twins were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might stand, not because of works but because of his call,

tcent@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Certainly not!

tcent@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, »I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I may show my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.«

tcent@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him who formed it, »Why have you made me like this?«

tcent@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, choosing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
