isv@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah fathered Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

isv@Matthew:1:16 @ Jacob fathered Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Christ.

isv@Matthew:1:17 @ So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon were fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ were fourteen generations.

isv@Matthew:1:18 @ Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

isv@Matthew:1:19 @ Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.

isv@Matthew:1:20 @ After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

isv@Matthew:1:21 @ She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins.”

isv@Matthew:1:22 @ Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said,

isv@Matthew:1:23 @ “See, a virgin will become pregnantand give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,”which means, “God with us.”

isv@Matthew:1:25 @ He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus.

isv@Matthew:2:2 @ and asked, “Where is the one who was born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”

isv@Matthew:2:4 @ He called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Christ was to be born.

isv@Matthew:2:6 @ ‘O Bethlehem in the land of Judah,you are by no means least among the rulers of Judah. For from you will come a rulerwho will shepherd my people Israel.’”

isv@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly called together the wise men and found out from them the time the star had appeared.

isv@Matthew:2:8 @ Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that I, too, may go and worship him.”

isv@Matthew:2:9 @ After listening to the king, they set out, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.

isv@Matthew:2:10 @ When they saw the star, they were ecstatic with joy.

isv@Matthew:2:11 @ After they went into the house and saw the child with his mother Mary, they fell down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure sacks and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

isv@Matthew:2:12 @ Having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they left for their own country by a different road.

isv@Matthew:2:13 @ After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and kill him.”

isv@Matthew:2:15 @ He stayed there until Herod's death in order to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said, “Out of Egypt I called my Son.”

isv@Matthew:2:16 @ When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he flew into a rage and ordered the execution of all the male children in Bethlehem and all its neighboring regions who were two years old and younger, according to the time that he had determined from the wise men.

isv@Matthew:2:17 @ Then what was declared by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled when he said,

isv@Matthew:2:18 @ “A voice was heard in Ramah:wailing and great mourning. Rachel was crying for her children.She refused to be comforted,because they no longer existed.”

isv@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

isv@Matthew:2:20 @ and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to kill the child are dead.”

isv@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee

isv@Matthew:2:23 @ and came and settled in a town called Nazareth in order to fulfill what was said by the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”

isv@Matthew:3:1 @ In those days John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the wilderness of Judea

isv@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!”

isv@Matthew:3:3 @ He was the one the prophet Isaiah was referring to when he said, “He is a voice calling out in the wilderness:‘Prepare the way for the Lord!Make his paths straight!’”

isv@Matthew:3:4 @ John had clothing made of camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist. His diet consisted of locusts and wild honey.

isv@Matthew:3:5 @ Then the people of Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region along the Jordan began flocking to him,

isv@Matthew:3:7 @ But when John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them, “You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

isv@Matthew:3:8 @ Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance!

isv@Matthew:3:9 @ Don't think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our forefather.’ For I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones!

isv@Matthew:3:10 @ The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

isv@Matthew:3:11 @ I am baptizing you with water as a token of repentance, but the one who is coming after me is stronger than I am, and I am not worthy to carry his sandals. It is he who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

isv@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing fork is in his hand. He will clean up his threshing floor and gather his grain into the barn, but he will burn the chaff with inextinguishable fire.”

isv@Matthew:3:14 @ But John tried to stop him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?”

isv@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered him,“Let it be this way for now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John let him.

isv@Matthew:3:16 @ When Jesus had been baptized, he immediately came up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens opened up for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him.

isv@Matthew:4:3 @ The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”

isv@Matthew:4:4 @ But he answered,“It is written, ‘One must not live on bread alone,but on every word comingout of the mouth of God.’”

isv@Matthew:4:6 @ He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written, ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’and ‘With their hands they will hold you up,so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’”

isv@Matthew:4:8 @ Once more the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

isv@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he went back to Galilee.

isv@Matthew:4:13 @ He left Nazareth and went and settled in Capernaum by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

isv@Matthew:4:14 @ in order to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said,

isv@Matthew:4:16 @ The people living in darkness have seen a great light,and for those living in the land and shadow of death,a light has risen.”

isv@Matthew:4:17 @ From then on, Jesus began to preach and to say,“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!”

isv@Matthew:4:18 @ While Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen.

isv@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there he saw two other brothers—James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee repairing their nets. When he called them,

isv@Matthew:4:24 @ His fame spread throughout Syria, and people brought to him all who were sick—those afflicted with various diseases and pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralyzed—and he healed them.

isv@Matthew:5:3 @ “How blessed are those who are destitute in spirit,for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

isv@Matthew:5:4 @ “How blessed are those who mourn,for it is they who will be comforted!

isv@Matthew:5:5 @ “How blessed are those who are humble,for it is they who will inherit the earth!

isv@Matthew:5:6 @ “How blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness,for it is they who will be satisfied!

isv@Matthew:5:7 @ “How blessed are those who are merciful,for it is they who will receive mercy!

isv@Matthew:5:8 @ “How blessed are those who are pure in heart,for it is they who will see God!

isv@Matthew:5:9 @ “How blessed are those who make peace,for it is they who will be called God's children!

isv@Matthew:5:10 @ “How blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

isv@Matthew:5:11 @ “How blessed are you whenever peopleinsult you, persecute you, and say all sorts of evil things against you falselybecause of me!

isv@Matthew:5:12 @ Rejoice and be extremely glad, because your reward in heaven is great! For that's how they persecuted the prophets who came before you.”

isv@Matthew:5:13 @ “You are the salt of the world. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty again? It's good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by people.

isv@Matthew:5:14 @ You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden.

isv@Matthew:5:16 @ In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

isv@Matthew:5:19 @ So whoever sets asideone of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

isv@Matthew:5:20 @ For I tell you, unless your righteousness greatly exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!”

isv@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you, anyone who is angry with his brother without a causewill be subject to punishment. And whoever says to his brother ‘Raka!’will be subject to the Council.And whoever says ‘You fool!’ will be subject to hellfire.

isv@Matthew:5:23 @ “So if you are presenting your gift at the altar and remember there that your brother has something against you,

isv@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar and first go and be reconciled to your brother. Then come and offer your gift.

isv@Matthew:5:25 @ Come to terms quickly with your opponent while you are on the way to court,or your opponent may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison.

isv@Matthew:5:26 @ Truly I tell you, you will not get out of there until you pay back the last penny!”

isv@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you, anyone who stares at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

isv@Matthew:5:35 @ nor by the earth, because it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the Great King.

isv@Matthew:5:37 @ Instead, let your word be ‘Yes’ for ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ for ‘No.’ Anything more than that comes from the evil one.”

isv@Matthew:5:39 @ But I tell you not to resist an evildoer. On the contrary, whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.

isv@Matthew:5:45 @ so that you will become children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous.

isv@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don't they?

isv@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you greet only your brothers, what great thing are you doing? Even the Gentilesdo the same, don't they?

isv@Matthew:6:1 @ “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people in order to be noticed by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

isv@Matthew:6:2 @ So whenever you give to the poor, don't blow a trumpet before you like the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they will be praised by people. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!

isv@Matthew:6:4 @ so that your giving may be done in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

isv@Matthew:6:5 @ “And whenever you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!

isv@Matthew:6:6 @ But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

isv@Matthew:6:7 @ “When you are praying, don't say meaningless words like the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their wordiness.

isv@Matthew:6:8 @ Don't be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

isv@Matthew:6:9 @ “Therefore, this is how you should pray:‘Our Father in heaven,may your name be kept holy.

isv@Matthew:6:11 @ Give us today our daily bread,

isv@Matthew:6:16 @ “Whenever you fast, don't be gloomy like the hypocrites. For they put on sad faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!

isv@Matthew:6:18 @ so that your fasting will not be noticed by others but by your Father who sees in secret. And your Father who is in secret will reward you.”

isv@Matthew:6:19 @ “Stop storing up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

isv@Matthew:6:20 @ But keep on storing up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal.

isv@Matthew:6:21 @ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

isv@Matthew:6:23 @ But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”

isv@Matthew:6:25 @ “That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life—what you will eat or what you will drink—or about your body—what you will wear. Life is more than food, isn't it, and the body more than clothing?

isv@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds in the sky. They don't plant or harvest or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren't you?

isv@Matthew:6:31 @ “So don't ever worry by saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’

isv@Matthew:6:32 @ For it is the Gentiles who are eager for all those things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them!

isv@Matthew:7:2 @ For with the judgment you use,you will be judged. And with the measure you use,you will be measured.

isv@Matthew:7:5 @ You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”

isv@Matthew:7:6 @ “Never give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them with their feet and then turn around and attack you.”

isv@Matthew:7:8 @ For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the dooropened.

isv@Matthew:7:9 @ “There isn't a person among you who would give his son a stone if he asked for bread, is there?

isv@Matthew:7:11 @ So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who keep on asking him!

isv@Matthew:7:12 @ Therefore, whatever you want people to do for you, do the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”

isv@Matthew:7:13 @ “Go in through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is spacious that leads to destruction, and many people are entering by it.

isv@Matthew:7:14 @ How narrow is the gate and how constricted is the road that leads to life, and few are the people who find it!”

isv@Matthew:7:15 @ “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheeps’ clothing but inwardly are savage wolves.

isv@Matthew:7:16 @ By their fruit you will know them. Grapes aren't gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they?

isv@Matthew:7:17 @ In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit.

isv@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit.

isv@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire.

isv@Matthew:7:24 @ “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.

isv@Matthew:7:27 @ The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and battered that house, and it collapsed, and its collapse was devastating.”

isv@Matthew:7:28 @ When Jesus had finished saying all these things, the crowds were utterly amazed at his teaching,

isv@Matthew:8:2 @ Suddenly a leper came up to him, fell down before him, and said, “Sir, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

isv@Matthew:8:3 @ So Jesus reached out his hand, touched him, and said,“I do want to. Be made clean!” And instantly his leprosy was made clean.

isv@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a centurion came up to him and begged him repeatedly,

isv@Matthew:8:8 @ The centurion replied, “Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

isv@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those who were following him,“Truly I tell you, not evenin Israel have I found this kind of faith!

isv@Matthew:8:12 @ But the citizensof that kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

isv@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening came, people brought to him many who were possessed by demons. He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all those who were sick.

isv@Matthew:8:17 @ This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “It was he who took our illnesses awayand removed our diseases.”

isv@Matthew:8:19 @ Now a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

isv@Matthew:8:20 @ Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes and birds have nests,but the Son of Man has no place to rest.”

isv@Matthew:8:25 @ They went to him and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We're going to die!”

isv@Matthew:8:26 @ He said to them,“Why are you afraid, you who have little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

isv@Matthew:8:27 @ The men were amazed and said, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!”

isv@Matthew:8:28 @ When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gerasenes, two demon-possessed men met him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could travel on that road.

isv@Matthew:8:29 @ Suddenly they screamed, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before the proper time?”

isv@Matthew:8:33 @ Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs ran away, they came into the city and reported everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

isv@Matthew:8:34 @ Then the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and as soon as they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

isv@Matthew:9:2 @ All at once some people brought him a paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man,“Be courageous, son! Your sins are forgiven.”

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

isv@Matthew:9:6 @ But I want you to knowthat the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”Then he said to the paralyzed man,“Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home!”

isv@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's desk and said to him,“Follow me.” So he got up and followed him.

isv@Matthew:9:16 @ “No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.

isv@Matthew:9:17 @ Nor do peoplepour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill out, and the skins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

isv@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was telling them these things, an official came up, fell down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

isv@Matthew:9:26 @ The news of this spread throughout that land.

isv@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus was traveling on from there, two blind men followed him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

isv@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened.Then Jesus sternly told them,“See to it that nobody knows about this.”

isv@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and spread the news about him throughout that land.

isv@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going out, a man who couldn't talk because he was demon-possessed was brought to him.

isv@Matthew:9:33 @ As soon as the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

isv@Matthew:9:36 @ When he saw the crowds, he was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

isv@Matthew:9:37 @ Then he said to his disciples,“The harvest is vast, but the workers are few.

isv@Matthew:10:2 @ These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

isv@Matthew:10:5 @ These were the twelve whom Jesus sent out, charging them with the words,“Don't turn off into the road that leads to the Gentiles, and don't enter a town of the Samaritans.

isv@Matthew:10:8 @ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without payment you have received; without payment you are to give.

isv@Matthew:10:11 @ “Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you leave.

isv@Matthew:10:12 @ As you enter the house, greet it.

isv@Matthew:10:13 @ If the house is receptive,let your blessing of peace come on it. But if it isn't receptive,let your blessing of peace return to you.

isv@Matthew:10:15 @ Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!”

isv@Matthew:10:18 @ Because of me you will be brought before governors and kings to testify to them and the Gentiles.

isv@Matthew:10:19 @ When they hand you over, don't worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say, for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you.

isv@Matthew:10:21 @ “Brother will hand brother over to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against parents and have them put to death.

isv@Matthew:10:22 @ You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the person who endures to the end will be saved.

isv@Matthew:10:23 @ So when they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you certainly will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

isv@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher and a slave to be like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they do the same tothose of his household!”

isv@Matthew:10:26 @ “So never be afraid of them. For there is nothing covered that will not be exposed, and nothing secret that will not be made known.

isv@Matthew:10:27 @ What I tell you in darkness you must speak in the daylight, and what is whisperedin your ear you must shout from the housetops.

isv@Matthew:10:29 @ “Two sparrows are sold for a penny, aren't they? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's permission.

isv@Matthew:10:31 @ So stop beingafraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows.”

isv@Matthew:10:32 @ “Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people I, too, will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

isv@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever denies me before people I, too, will deny before my Father in heaven.”

isv@Matthew:10:37 @ “The one who loves his father or mother more than me isn't worthy of me, and the one who loves a son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me.

isv@Matthew:10:40 @ “The one who receives you receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.

isv@Matthew:10:41 @ The one who receives a prophet asa prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person asa righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.

isv@Matthew:10:42 @ Truly I tell you, whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he isa disciple will never lose his reward.”

isv@Matthew:11:1 @ When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he left there to teach and preach in their cities.

isv@Matthew:11:3 @ and asked him, “Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?”

isv@Matthew:11:4 @ Jesus answered them,“Go and tell John what you hear and observe:

isv@Matthew:11:5 @ the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the destitute hear the good news.

isv@Matthew:11:7 @ As they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John.“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

isv@Matthew:27:21 @ So the governor said to them, “Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?”They said, “Barabbas!”

isv@Matthew:27:24 @ Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was about to break out instead. So he took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man's blood. You must see to that yourselves.”

isv@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, “Let his blood be on us and our children!”

isv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas for them, but he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.

isv@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the imperial headquarters and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him.

isv@Matthew:27:30 @ Then they spit on him and took the stick and hit him repeatedly on his head.

isv@Matthew:27:32 @ As they were leaving, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry Jesus’ cross.

isv@Matthew:27:34 @ they offered him a drink of wine mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it.

isv@Matthew:27:36 @ Then they sat down there and continued guarding him.

isv@Matthew:27:37 @ Above his head they placed the charge against him. It read, “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”

isv@Matthew:27:38 @ At that time two bandits were crucified with him, one on his right and the other on his left.

isv@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, “You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days—save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

isv@Matthew:27:41 @ In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes and elders, were also making fun of him. They kept saying,

isv@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he cares for him. After all, he said,‘I am the Son of God,’”

isv@Matthew:27:44 @ Even the bandits who were crucified with him kept insulting him in the same way.

isv@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

isv@Matthew:27:46 @ About three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice,“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?”, which means,“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

isv@Matthew:27:47 @ When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, “He's calling for Elijah.”

isv@Matthew:27:48 @ So one of the men at once ran off, took a sponge, and soaked it in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink.

isv@Matthew:27:51 @ Suddenly the curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were split open,

isv@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had died were raised.

isv@Matthew:27:53 @ After his resurrection, they came out of their tombs and went into the Holy City and appeared to many people.

isv@Matthew:27:54 @ When the centurion and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, “This man certainly was the Son of God!”

isv@Matthew:27:55 @ Now many women were also there, watching from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had ministered to him.

isv@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

isv@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be handed over.

isv@Matthew:27:61 @ But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary remained there, sitting in front of the tomb.

isv@Matthew:27:62 @ The next day (which is after the Day of Preparation), the high priests and Pharisees gathered before Pilate

isv@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said while he was still alive,‘After three days I will be raised.’

isv@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore, order the tomb to be secured until the third day, or his disciples may go and steal him and then tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception would be worse than the first one.”

isv@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate told them, “You have a military guard. Go and make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

isv@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and secured the tomb by putting a seal on the stone in the presence of the guards.

isv@Matthew:28:2 @ Suddenly there was a powerful earthquake. For an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, stepped forward, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it.

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

isv@Matthew:28:4 @ Because they were so afraid of him, the guards shook and became like dead men.

isv@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel said to the women, “Stop being afraid! For I know you're looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

isv@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here. He has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying.

isv@Matthew:28:7 @ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee, and you will see him there. Remember, I have told you!”

isv@Matthew:28:8 @ So they quickly left the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.

isv@Matthew:28:9 @ Suddenly Jesus met them and said,“Greetings!” They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

isv@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them,“Stop being afraid! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see me.”

isv@Matthew:28:11 @ While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the high priests all that had happened.

isv@Matthew:28:12 @ So they met with the elders and agreed on a plan to give the soldiers a large amount of money.

isv@Matthew:28:13 @ They said, “Say that his disciples came at night and stole him while you were sleeping.

isv@Matthew:28:14 @ If this is reported to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

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

isv@Matthew:28:16 @ The eleven disciples went into Galilee to the hillside to which Jesus had directed them.

isv@Matthew:28:19 @ Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

isv@Matthew:28:20 @ teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every dayuntil the end of the age.”

isv@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,“See! I am sending my messenger ahead of you,who will prepare your way.

isv@Mark:1:3 @ He is a voice calling out in the wilderness:‘Prepare the way for the Lord!Make his paths straight!’”

isv@Mark:1:4 @ John was baptizing in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

isv@Mark:1:5 @ People from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were flocking to him, being baptized by him while they confessed their sins.

isv@Mark:1:6 @ Now John was dressed in camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

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

isv@Mark:1:11 @ Then a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you!”

isv@Mark:1:13 @ He was in the wilderness for forty days being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.

isv@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John had been arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and proclaimed the gospel about the kingdom of God.

isv@Mark:1:15 @ He said,“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is near! Repent, and keep believing in the gospel!”

isv@Mark:1:16 @ While Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen.

isv@Mark:1:19 @ Going on a little farther he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat repairing their nets.

isv@Mark:1:20 @ He immediately called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

isv@Mark:1:22 @ The people were utterly amazed at his teaching, for he was teaching them like one with authority and not like their scribes.

isv@Mark:1:23 @ Suddenly there was a man in their synagogue who had an unclean spirit. He screamed,

isv@Mark:1:24 @ “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

isv@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying,“Be quiet, and come out of him!”

isv@Mark:1:27 @ All the people were so stunned that they kept saying to each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He tells even the unclean spirits what to do, and they obey him!”

isv@Mark:1:28 @ At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.

isv@Mark:1:29 @ After they left the synagogue, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.

isv@Mark:1:32 @ When evening came, after the sun had set, people started bringing to him all those who were sick or possessed by demons.

isv@Mark:1:33 @ In fact, the whole city gathered at the door.

isv@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons. However, he wouldn't allow the demons to speak because they knew who he was.

isv@Mark:1:35 @ In the morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus got up and went to a deserted place and prayed there.

isv@Mark:1:38 @ He said to them,“Let's go to the neighboring towns so that I can preach there, too. For that is why I came out here.”

isv@Mark:1:39 @ So he went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

isv@Mark:1:41 @ Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand, touched him, and said to him,“I do want to. Be made clean!”

isv@Mark:1:45 @ But when the man left, he began to proclaim it freely. He spread the word so widely that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly, but had to stay out in deserted places. Still, people kept coming to him from everywhere.

isv@Mark:2:1 @ Several days later Jesus returned to Capernaum, and it was reported that he was at home.

isv@Mark:2:2 @ So many crowds had gathered that there wasn't any room left for them, even in front of the door. Jesus was speaking the word to them

isv@Mark:2:4 @ Since they couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof over the place where he was. They dug through it and let down the cot on which the paralyzed man was lying.

isv@Mark:2:5 @ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man,“Son, your sins are forgiven.”

isv@Mark:2:6 @ Now some scribes were sitting there, arguing among themselves,

isv@Mark:2:8 @ At once, Jesus knew in his spirit what they were saying to themselves. He said to them,“Why are you arguing about such things among yourselves?

isv@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier: to say to the paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your cot, and walk’?

isv@Mark:2:12 @ So the man got up, immediately picked up his cot, and went out before all of them.As a result, all of the people were amazed and began to glorify God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

isv@Mark:2:15 @ Later he was having dinner at Levi's house. Many tax collectors and sinners were also eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who were following him.

isv@Mark:2:18 @ Now John's disciples and the Pharisees would fast regularly. Some people came and asked Jesus, “Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but your disciples don't fast?”

isv@Mark:2:22 @ And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will make the skins burst, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is pouredinto fresh wineskins.”

isv@Mark:2:24 @ The Pharisees said to him, “Look! Why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

isv@Mark:2:25 @ He said to them,“Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

isv@Mark:2:26 @ How was it that he went into the House of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and gave some of it to his companions?”

isv@Mark:2:28 @ Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

isv@Mark:3:1 @ Jesus went into the synagogue again, and a man with a paralyzed hand was there.

isv@Mark:3:4 @ Then he asked them,“Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill it?” But they were silent.

isv@Mark:3:5 @ Jesus looked around at them with anger, for he was deeply hurt because of their hardness of heart. Then he said to the man,“Hold out your hand.” The man held it out, and his hand was restored to health.

isv@Mark:3:7 @ So Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea. A large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

isv@Mark:3:8 @ Jerusalem, Idumea, from across the Jordan, and from the region around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they kept hearing about everything he was doing.

isv@Mark:3:9 @ Jesus told his disciples to have a boat ready for him so that the crowd wouldn't crush him.

isv@Mark:3:11 @ Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and scream, “You are the Son of God!”

isv@Mark:3:12 @ But he sternly ordered them again and again not to tell people who he was.

isv@Mark:3:14 @ He appointed twelve whom he called apostles to accompany him, to be sent out to preach,

isv@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; Simon the Cananaean;

isv@Mark:3:21 @ When his family heard about it, they went to restrain him. For they kept saying, “He's out of his mind!”

isv@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem kept repeating, “He has Beelzebul,” and “He drives out demons by the ruler of demons.”

isv@Mark:3:26 @ So if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand. Indeed, his end has come.

isv@Mark:3:32 @ A crowd was sitting around him. They said to him, “Look! Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you.”

isv@Mark:3:33 @ He answered them,“Who are my mother and my brothers?”

isv@Mark:3:34 @ Then looking at the people sitting around him, he said,“Here are my mother and my brothers!

isv@Mark:4:1 @ Then Jesus began to teach again beside the sea. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while the entire crowd remained beside the sea on the shore.

isv@Mark:4:5 @ Others fell on stony ground, where they did not have a lot of soil. They sprouted at once because the soil wasn't deep.

isv@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they did not have any roots, they dried up.

isv@Mark:4:8 @ But others fell on good soil and produced a crop. They grew up, increased in size, and produced thirty, sixty, or one hundred times what was sown.”

isv@Mark:4:11 @ He said to them,“The secret about the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything comes in parables

isv@Mark:4:15 @ Some people are like the seedsalong the path, where the word is sown. When they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

isv@Mark:4:16 @ Others are like the seedssown on the stony ground. When they hear the word, they accept it at once with joy,

isv@Mark:4:18 @ Still others are like the seedssown among the thornbushes. These are the people who hear the word,

isv@Mark:4:19 @ but the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.

isv@Mark:4:20 @ Others are like the seedssown on good soil. They hear the word, accept it, and produce crops—thirty, sixty, or one hundred times what was sown.”

isv@Mark:4:22 @ For nothing is hidden except for the purpose of having it revealed, and nothing is secret except for the purpose of having it come to light.

isv@Mark:4:24 @ He went on to say to them,“Pay attention to what you're listening to! With the measure you use,you will be measured, and still more will be given to you.

isv@Mark:4:25 @ For whoever has something, will have more given to him. But whoever has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.”

isv@Mark:4:36 @ So they left the crowd and took him along in the boat just as he was. Other boats were with him.

isv@Mark:4:37 @ A violent windstorm came up, and the waves began breaking into the boat, so that the boat was rapidly becoming swamped.

isv@Mark:4:38 @ But Jesus was in the back of the boat, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don't you care that we're going to die?”

isv@Mark:4:39 @ Then he got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea,“Hush! Be still!” Then the wind stopped blowing, and there was a great calm.

isv@Mark:4:40 @ He said to them,“Why are you such cowards? Don't you have any faith yet?”

isv@Mark:4:41 @ They were overcome with fear and kept saying to one another, “Who is this man? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”

isv@Mark:5:3 @ He lived among the tombs, and no one could restrain him any longer, not even with a chain.

isv@Mark:5:4 @ He had often been restrained with shackles and chains but had snapped the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one could tame him.

isv@Mark:5:5 @ Night and day he kept screaming among the tombs and on the mountainsides and kept cutting himself with stones.

isv@Mark:5:7 @ screaming in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I command you in the name of God not to torture me!”

isv@Mark:5:9 @ Then Jesus asked him,“What's your name?”He said to him, “My name is Legion, because there are many of us.”

isv@Mark:5:13 @ So he let them do this. The unclean spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the cliff into the sea and drowned there.

isv@Mark:5:14 @ Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs ran away, they reported what had happened in the city and countryside. So the people went to see what had happened.

isv@Mark:5:15 @ When they came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

isv@Mark:5:21 @ When Jesus again had crossed to the other side in a boat, a large crowd gathered around him by the seashore.

isv@Mark:5:25 @ Now there was a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years.

isv@Mark:5:26 @ Although she had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all of her money, she had not been helped at all but rather grew worse.

isv@Mark:5:30 @ Immediately Jesus became aware that power had gone out of him. So he turned around in the crowd and asked,“Who touched my clothes?”

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

isv@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue leader's home and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?”

isv@Mark:5:38 @ When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw mass confusion. People were crying and sobbing loudly.

isv@Mark:5:39 @ He entered the house and said to them,“Why all this confusion and crying? The child isn't dead but is sleeping.”

isv@Mark:5:40 @ They laughed and laughed at him. But he forced all of them outside. Then he took the child's father and mother, along with the men who were with him, and went into the room where the child was.

isv@Mark:5:42 @ The little girl got up at once and started to walk, for she was twelve years old. Instantly they were overcome with astonishment.

isv@Mark:5:43 @ But Jesus strictly ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give her something to eat.

isv@Mark:6:2 @ When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were utterly amazed. They said, “Where did this man get all these things? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What great miracles are being done by his hands!

isv@Mark:6:3 @ This is the builder, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon, isn't it? His sisters are here with us, aren't they?” And they were offended by him.

isv@Mark:6:4 @ Jesus was telling them,“A prophet is without honor only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own home.”

isv@Mark:6:5 @ He couldn't perform a miracle there except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

isv@Mark:6:8 @ He instructed them to take nothing along on the trip except a walking stick—no bread, no traveling bag, nothing in their moneybag.

isv@Mark:6:10 @ He told them repeatedly,“Whenever you go into a home, stay there until you leave that place.

isv@Mark:6:11 @ If any place will not welcome you and thepeoplerefuse to listen to you, when you leave, shake its dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

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

isv@Mark:6:13 @ They also kept driving out many demons and pouring oil on many who were sick and healing them.

isv@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard about this, because Jesus’ name had become well-known. He was saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That's why these miracles are at work in him.”

isv@Mark:6:15 @ Others were saying, “He is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “He is a prophet like one of the other prophets.”

isv@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him with chains, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. For Herod had married her.

isv@Mark:6:19 @ So Herodias bore a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she couldn't do it

isv@Mark:6:23 @ He swore with an oath to her, “I'll give you anything you ask for, up to half of my kingdom.”

isv@Mark:6:24 @ So she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?”Her mother replied, “The head of John the Baptist.”

isv@Mark:6:25 @ Immediately the girl hurried back to the king with her request, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

isv@Mark:6:26 @ The king was deeply saddened, yet because of his oaths and his guests he was reluctant to refuse her.

isv@Mark:6:27 @ So without delay the king sent a soldier and ordered him to bring John's head. The soldier went and beheaded him in prison.

isv@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered around Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught.

isv@Mark:6:31 @ He said to them,“Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while.” For so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.

isv@Mark:6:33 @ But many people saw them leave and recognized them. So they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.

isv@Mark:6:34 @ When he got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd. He had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

isv@Mark:6:35 @ When it was quite late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and it's already late.

isv@Mark:6:37 @ But he answered them,“You give them something to eat.”They said to him, “Should we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”

isv@Mark:6:38 @ He asked them,“How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and see.”They found out and told him, “Five loaves and two fish.”

isv@Mark:6:39 @ Then he ordered them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.

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

isv@Mark:6:41 @ Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

isv@Mark:6:42 @ All of them ate and were filled.

isv@Mark:6:43 @ Then the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of leftover bread and fish.

isv@Mark:6:44 @ There were 5,000 men who had eaten the loaves.

isv@Mark:6:48 @ He saw that they were straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he came to them, walking on the sea. He intended to go up right beside them,

isv@Mark:6:49 @ but when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and began to scream.

isv@Mark:6:50 @ All of them saw him and were terrified. Immediately he said to them,“Have courage! It is I. Stop being afraid!”

isv@Mark:6:51 @ Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped blowing. The disciples were utterly astounded,

isv@Mark:6:52 @ for they didn't understand the significance of the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened.

isv@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed over, they came ashore at Gennesaret and anchored the boat.

isv@Mark:6:54 @ As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus.

isv@Mark:6:55 @ They ran all over the countryside and began carrying the sick on their cots to any place where they heard he was.

isv@Mark:6:56 @ Wherever he went, whether into villages, towns, or farms, people would place their sick in the marketplaces and beg him to let them touch even the tassel of his garment, and all who touched it were healed.

isv@Mark:7:1 @ The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.

isv@Mark:7:2 @ They noticed that some of his disciples were eating with unclean hands, that is, without washing them.

isv@Mark:7:6 @ He told them,“Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites. As it is written,‘These people honor me with their lips,but their hearts are far from me.

isv@Mark:7:9 @ Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your own tradition!

isv@Mark:7:11 @ But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or mother, “Whatever support you might have received from me is Corban,”’(that is, an offering to God)

isv@Mark:7:13 @ You are destroying the word of God through your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other things like that.”

isv@Mark:7:18 @ He said to them,“Are you so ignorant? Don't you know that nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean?

isv@Mark:7:19 @ For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and is expelled as waste.” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

isv@Mark:7:22 @ adultery, greed, wickedness, cheating, shameless lust, envy, slander,arrogance, and foolishness.

isv@Mark:7:24 @ Jesus left that place and went to the territory of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, not wanting anyone to know he was there. However, it couldn't be kept a secret.

isv@Mark:7:26 @ Now the woman happened to be a Greek, born in Phoenicia in Syria. She kept asking him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

isv@Mark:7:27 @ But he kept telling her,“First let the children be filled. It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the puppies.”

isv@Mark:7:28 @ But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the puppies under the table eat some of the children's crumbs.”

isv@Mark:7:31 @ Then Jesus left the territory of Tyre and passed through Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the territory of the Decapolis.

isv@Mark:7:35 @ At once the man's ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to talk normally.

isv@Mark:7:36 @ Jesus ordered the people not to tell anyone, but the more he kept ordering them, the more they kept spreading the news.

isv@Mark:7:37 @ They were amazed beyond measure, saying, “He does everything well! He even makes deaf people hear and mute people talk!”

isv@Mark:8:1 @ In those days, when a large crowd again had gathered with nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples and said to them,

isv@Mark:8:2 @ “I have compassion for the crowd because they have already been with me for three days and have nothing to eat.

isv@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered him, “Where could anyone get enough bread to feed these people out here in the wilderness?”

isv@Mark:8:5 @ He asked them,“How many loaves of bread do you have?”They said, “Seven.”

isv@Mark:8:6 @ So he ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He broke them in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples to distribute. So they served them to the crowd.

isv@Mark:8:8 @ The people ate and were filled. Then the disciples picked up the leftover pieces—seven large baskets full.

isv@Mark:8:9 @ Now about 4,000 men were there. Then he sent them on their way.

isv@Mark:8:10 @ Immediately he got into a boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

isv@Mark:8:14 @ Now the disciples had forgotten to take any bread along and had only one loaf with them in the boat.

isv@Mark:8:15 @ Jesus had been warning them,“Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”

isv@Mark:8:16 @ So they were discussing with one another the fact that they didn't have any bread.

isv@Mark:8:17 @ Knowing this, Jesus said to them,“Why are you discussing the fact that you don't have any bread? Don't you understand or perceive yet? Are your hearts hardened?

isv@Mark:8:18 @ Doyou have eyes but fail to see? Do you have ears but fail to hear?Don't you remember?

isv@Mark:8:24 @ The man looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees walking around.”

isv@Mark:8:25 @ Then Jesus placed his hands on the man's eyes again, and he saw clearly. His sight was restored, and he saw everything perfectly even from a distance.

isv@Mark:8:27 @ Then Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he was asking his disciples,“Who do people say I am?”

isv@Mark:8:28 @ They answered him, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the prophets.”

isv@Mark:8:29 @ Then he began to ask them,“But who do you say I am?”Peter answered him, “You are the Christ!”

isv@Mark:8:30 @ Jesus sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.

isv@Mark:8:31 @ Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but after three days he would rise again.

isv@Mark:8:32 @ He was speaking about this matter quite openly.Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

isv@Mark:8:33 @ But turning and looking at his disciples, Jesus rebuked Peter, saying,“Get behind me, Satan! For you are not thinking God's thoughts but human thoughts!”

isv@Mark:9:1 @ Then he said to them,“Truly I tell you, some people standing here will not experiencedeath until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

isv@Mark:9:4 @ Then Elijah appeared to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

isv@Mark:9:5 @ Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

isv@Mark:9:6 @ (Peter didn't know how to respond, for they were terrified.)

isv@Mark:9:7 @ Then a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud and said, “This is my Son, whom I love. Keep on listening to him!”

isv@Mark:9:9 @ On their way down the mountain, he ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

isv@Mark:9:12 @ He told them,“Elijah is indeed coming first and will restore all things. Why, then, is it written that the Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be treated shamefully?

isv@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Elijah has come, yet peopletreated him just as they pleased, as it is written about him.”

isv@Mark:9:16 @ He asked the scribes,“What are you arguing about with them?”

isv@Mark:9:17 @ A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that won't let him talk.

isv@Mark:9:18 @ Whenever it brings on a seizure, it throws him to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. So I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they didn't have the power.”

isv@Mark:9:20 @ So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell on the ground and kept rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

isv@Mark:9:22 @ The spirit has often thrown him into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us!”

isv@Mark:9:23 @ Jesus said to him,“‘If you are able?’ Everything is possible for the person who believes!”

isv@Mark:9:25 @ When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it,“You spirit that won't let him talk or hear—I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”

isv@Mark:9:26 @ The spirit screamed, shook the child violently, and came out. The boy was like a corpse, and many said that he was dead.

isv@Mark:9:30 @ Then they left that place and were passing through Galilee. Jesus didn't want anyone to know it,

isv@Mark:9:31 @ for he was teaching his disciples and saying to them,“The Son of Man will be betrayed into human hands. They will kill him, but after being dead for three days he will be raised.”

isv@Mark:9:32 @ They didn't understand what this statement meant, and were afraid to ask him.

isv@Mark:9:33 @ Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples,“What were you arguing about on the road?”

isv@Mark:9:34 @ But they kept silent, for on the road they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.

isv@Mark:9:41 @ Truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christwill never lose his reward.”

isv@Mark:9:42 @ “If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

isv@Mark:9:43 @ So if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life injured than to have two hands and go to hell,to the fire that cannot be put out.

isv@Mark:9:44 @ In that place, worms never die, and the fire is never put out.

isv@Mark:9:46 @ In that place, worms never die, and the fire is never put out.

isv@Mark:9:48 @ In that place, worms never die, and the fire is never put out.

isv@Mark:9:49 @ For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.

isv@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is good. But if salt loses its taste, how can you restore its flavor? Keep on having salt among yourselves, and live in peace with one another.”

isv@Mark:10:1 @ Then Jesus left that place and went into the territory of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered around him as usual, and he began to teach them again as was his custom.

isv@Mark:10:3 @ He answered them,“What did Moses command you?”

isv@Mark:10:6 @ But from the beginning of creation, ‘Godmade them male and female.’

isv@Mark:10:8 @ and the two will become one flesh.’So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

isv@Mark:10:9 @ Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate.”

isv@Mark:10:13 @ Some people were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

isv@Mark:10:14 @ When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them,“Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

isv@Mark:10:15 @ Truly I tell you, whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never get into it at all.”

isv@Mark:10:20 @ The man replied to him, “Teacher, I have kept all of these since I was a young man.”

isv@Mark:10:21 @ Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him,“You're missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the moneyto the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me.”

isv@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were startled by these words, but Jesus said to them again,“Children, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealthto get into the kingdom of God!

isv@Mark:10:26 @ They were utterly amazed and said to one another, “Then who can be saved?”

isv@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them intently and said,“For humans it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.”

isv@Mark:10:29 @ Jesus said,“Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left his home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or fields because of me and the gospel

isv@Mark:10:30 @ who will not receive a hundred times as much here in this world—homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, along with persecutions—as well as eternal life in the age to come.

isv@Mark:10:31 @ But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”

isv@Mark:10:32 @ Jesus and his disciples were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were utterly amazed, and the others who followed were afraid. Once again, he took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

isv@Mark:10:33 @ “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death. Then they will hand him over to the Gentiles,

isv@Mark:10:34 @ andthey will make fun of him, spit on him, whip him, and kill him. But after three days he will be raised.”

isv@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus told them,“You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from or be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized?”

isv@Mark:10:40 @ But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others.”

isv@Mark:10:42 @ Jesus called the disciples and said to them,“You know that those who are recognized as rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors act like tyrants over them.

isv@Mark:10:43 @ That's not the way it should be among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

isv@Mark:10:45 @ Foreven the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people.”

isv@Mark:10:46 @ Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus, his disciples, and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus) was sitting by the road.

isv@Mark:10:47 @ When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

isv@Mark:10:50 @ He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

isv@Mark:11:3 @ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?,’ say, ‘The Lord needs it,’ and he will send it back here at once.”

isv@Mark:11:4 @ So they went and found the colt outside in the street tied up next to a doorway. While they were untying it,

isv@Mark:11:5 @ some men standing there asked them, “What are you doing untying that colt?”

isv@Mark:11:7 @ They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their coats upon it, and he sat on it.

isv@Mark:11:8 @ Many people spread their coats on the road, while others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields.

isv@Mark:11:9 @ Those who went ahead and those who followed him were shouting, “Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comesin the name of the Lord!

isv@Mark:11:10 @ How blessed is the coming kingdomof our forefather David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

isv@Mark:11:11 @ Then Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple and looked around at everything. Since it was already late, he went out with the twelve to Bethany.

isv@Mark:11:12 @ The next day, as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus became hungry.

isv@Mark:11:13 @ Seeing in the distance a fig tree covered with leaves, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing except leaves because it wasn't the season for figs.

isv@Mark:11:14 @ So he said to it,“May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” Now his disciples were listening to this.

isv@Mark:11:15 @ When they came to Jerusalem, he went into the temple and began to throw out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple. He overturned the moneychangers’ tables and the chairs of those who sold doves.

isv@Mark:11:18 @ When the high priests and elders heard this, they began to look for a way to kill him. For they were afraid of him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.

isv@Mark:11:20 @ While they were walking along early in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up to its roots.

isv@Mark:11:21 @ Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has dried up!”

isv@Mark:11:24 @ Thatis why I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have receivedit and it will be yours.

isv@Mark:11:28 @ and asked him, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority to do them?”

isv@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, ‘From humans’…?” For they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone really thought John was a prophet.

isv@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.”Then Jesus told them,“Then I won't tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

isv@Mark:12:1 @ Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables.“A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the wine press, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went abroad.

isv@Mark:12:2 @ At the right time he sent a servant to the farmers to collect from them a share of the produce from the vineyard.

isv@Mark:12:4 @ Again, the mansent another servant to them. They beat the servantover the head and treated him shamefully.

isv@Mark:12:6 @ Hestill had one more person to send,a son whom he loved. Finally, he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

isv@Mark:12:8 @ So they grabbed him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

isv@Mark:12:10 @ Haven't you ever read this Scripture:‘The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone.

isv@Mark:12:12 @ They were trying to arrest him but were afraid of the crowd. Realizing that he had spoken this parable against them, they left him alone and went away.

isv@Mark:12:14 @ They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere. You don't favor any individual, for you pay no attention to external appearance. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or should we not?”

isv@Mark:12:15 @ But Jesus recognized their hypocrisy and said to them,“Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius and let me see it.”

isv@Mark:12:17 @ So Jesus said to them,“Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they were utterly amazed at him.

isv@Mark:12:18 @ Then some Sadducees, who claim there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and asked him,

isv@Mark:12:19 @ “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, he should marry the widow and have children for his brother.

isv@Mark:12:20 @ There were seven brothers. The first one married and died without having children.

isv@Mark:12:21 @ Then the second married her and died without having children, and so did the third.

isv@Mark:12:22 @ None of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died, too.

isv@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since the seven had married her?”

isv@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them,“Aren't you mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power?

isv@Mark:12:25 @ For when peoplerise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.

isv@Mark:12:26 @ As for the dead being raised, haven't you read in the book of Moses, in the story about the bush, how God said, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

isv@Mark:12:27 @ Heis not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

isv@Mark:12:28 @ Then one of the scribes came near and heard them arguing with one another. He saw how well Jesus answered them, so he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of them all?”

isv@Mark:12:29 @ Jesus answered,“The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord,

isv@Mark:12:30 @ and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’

isv@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’No other commandment is greater than these.”

isv@Mark:12:32 @ Then the scribe said to him, “Well said, Teacher! You have told the truth that ‘God is one, and there is no other besides him.’

isv@Mark:12:33 @ To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

isv@Mark:12:34 @ When Jesus saw how wisely the man answered, he told him,“You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one dared to ask him another question.

isv@Mark:12:38 @ As he taught, he said,“Beware of the scribes! They like to walk around in long robes, to be greeted in the marketplaces,

isv@Mark:12:40 @ Theydevour widows’ housesand say long prayers to cover it up. They will receive greater condemnation!”

isv@Mark:12:41 @ As Jesus sat facing the offering box, he watched how the crowd was dropping their money into it. Many rich people were dropping in large amounts.

isv@Mark:12:43 @ He called his disciples and said to them,“Truly I tell you, this destitute widow has dropped in more than all of those who are contributing to the offering box.

isv@Mark:13:2 @ Jesus said to him,“Do you see these large buildings? Not one stone here will be left on another that will not be torn down.”

isv@Mark:13:3 @ As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives facing the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew were asking him privately,

isv@Mark:13:8 @ For nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes and famines in various places. These things are only the beginning of the birth pains.”

isv@Mark:13:9 @ “As for yourselves, be on your guard! Peoplewill hand you over to local councils, and you will be beaten in their synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings to testify to them because of me.

isv@Mark:13:12 @ Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.

isv@Mark:13:13 @ You will be hated continuously by everyone because of my name. But the person who endures to the end will be saved.”

isv@Mark:13:14 @ “So when you see the destructive desecration standing where it should not be (let the reader take note),then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

isv@Mark:13:17 @ “How terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days!

isv@Mark:13:19 @ For those days will be a time of suffering,a kind that has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God made until now and certainly will never happen again.

isv@Mark:13:21 @ “At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ!’,or, ‘Look! There he is!’, don't believe it.

isv@Mark:13:23 @ So be on your guard! I've told you everything before it happens.”

isv@Mark:13:26 @ Then people will see ‘the Son of Man coming in clouds’ with great power and glory.

isv@Mark:13:28 @ “Now learn a lessonfrom the fig tree. When its branches become tender and it produces leaves, you know that summer is near.

isv@Mark:13:33 @ Be careful! Watch out! For you don't know when the time will come.

isv@Mark:13:34 @ “It's like a man who went on a trip. As he left home, he put his servants in charge, each with his own work, and he ordered the doorkeeper to be alert.

isv@Mark:13:35 @ So keep on watching, because you don't know when the master of the house is coming—whether in the evening, at three o'clock in the morning,or at dawn.

isv@Mark:14:1 @ Now it was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus secretly and to have him put to death.

isv@Mark:14:2 @ For they kept saying, “This must not happen during the festival, lest there be a riot among the people.”

isv@Mark:14:3 @ While Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper and sitting at the table, a woman arrived with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

isv@Mark:14:4 @ Some who were there said to one another in irritation, “Why was the perfume wasted like this?

isv@Mark:14:5 @ This perfume could have been sold for more than 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute.” So they got extremely angry with her.

isv@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said,“Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me.

isv@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could. She poured perfume on my body in preparation for my burial.

isv@Mark:14:9 @ TrulyI tell you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

isv@Mark:14:11 @ When they heard this, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So he began to look for a good opportunity to betray him.

isv@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?”

isv@Mark:14:14 @ When he goes into a house,say to its owner that the Teacher asks, ‘Where is my room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’

isv@Mark:14:15 @ Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished and ready. Get everything ready for us there.”

isv@Mark:14:16 @ So the disciples left and went into the city. They found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

isv@Mark:14:18 @ While they were at the table eating, Jesus said,“Truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me, one who is eating with me.”

isv@Mark:14:19 @ They began to be very sad and said to him, one after the other, “Surely I am not the one, am I?”

isv@Mark:14:20 @ He said to them,“It's one of you twelve, the one who is dipping his bread into the bowl with me.

isv@Mark:14:22 @ While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and handed it to them, saying,“Take some. This is my body.”

isv@Mark:14:24 @ He said to them,“This is my blood of the covenant that is being poured out for many people.

isv@Mark:14:27 @ Then Jesus said to them,“All of you will turn against me. For it is written,‘I will strike the shepherd,and the sheep will be scattered.’

isv@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him,“Truly I tell you, today, this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

isv@Mark:14:32 @ Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples,“Sit down here while I pray.”

isv@Mark:14:33 @ He took Peter, James, and John along with him, and he began to be distressed and troubled.

isv@Mark:14:34 @ So he said to them,“I am deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake.”

isv@Mark:14:35 @ Going on a little farther, he fell to the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

isv@Mark:14:36 @ He kept repeating,“Abba!Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I want but what you want.”

isv@Mark:14:37 @ When he went back, he found them asleep. He said to Peter,“Simon, are you asleep? You couldn't stay awake for one hour, could you?

isv@Mark:14:39 @ He went away again and prayed the same prayer as before.

isv@Mark:14:40 @ Again he came back and found them asleep, for their eyes were very heavy. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

isv@Mark:14:41 @ He came back a third time and said to them,“You might as well keep on sleeping and resting.Enough of that! The time has come. Look! The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

isv@Mark:14:43 @ Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. A crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests, the scribes, and the elders.

isv@Mark:14:44 @ Now the betrayer personally had given them a signal, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him, and lead him safely away.”

isv@Mark:14:46 @ Then the men took hold of Jesus and arrested him.

isv@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those standing there drew his sword and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

isv@Mark:14:48 @ Jesus said to them,“Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit?

isv@Mark:14:49 @ Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, yet you didn't arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

isv@Mark:14:53 @ Then they took Jesus to the high priest. All the high priests, elders, and scribes had gathered together.

isv@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the servants and warming himself at the fire.

isv@Mark:14:55 @ Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for some testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death, but they couldn't find any.

isv@Mark:14:56 @ Although many people gave false testimony against him, their testimony didn't agree.

isv@Mark:14:58 @ “We ourselves heard him say,‘I will destroy this sanctuary made by humanhands, and in three days I will build another one not made by humanhands.’”

isv@Mark:14:59 @ But even on this point their testimony didn't agree.

isv@Mark:14:60 @ Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?”

isv@Mark:14:61 @ But he kept silent and didn't answer at all. The high priest asked him again, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

isv@Mark:14:63 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “Why do we still need witnesses?

isv@Mark:14:67 @ When she saw Peter warming himself, she glared at him and said, “You, too, were with Jesus from Nazareth.”

isv@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, “I don't know or understand what you're talking about.” Then he went out into the entryway. Just then a rooster crowed.

isv@Mark:14:69 @ The servant girl saw him and again said to those who were standing around, “This man is one of them!”

isv@Mark:14:70 @ Again he denied it.After a little while the people who were standing there began to say to Peter again, “Obviously you're one of them, because you are a Galilean!”

isv@Mark:14:71 @ Then he began to invoke a divine curse and to swear with an oath, “I don't know this man you're talking about!”

isv@Mark:14:72 @ Just then a rooster crowed a second time.Peter remembered that Jesus said to him,“Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” Then he broke down and cried.

isv@Mark:15:2 @ Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”Jesus answered him,“You say so.”

isv@Mark:15:4 @ So Pilate asked him again, “Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!”

isv@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate was astonished.

isv@Mark:15:6 @ At every festival Pilate would release any one prisoner whom the people requested.

isv@Mark:15:7 @ Now there was a man in prison named Barabbas. He was with the insurgents who had committed murder during the rebellion.

isv@Mark:15:8 @ So the crowd came and began to request that he do for them what he always did.

isv@Mark:15:9 @ Pilate answered them, “Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?”

isv@Mark:15:11 @ But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release Barabbas for them instead.

isv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them, but he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.

isv@Mark:15:17 @ They dressed him in a purple robe, twisted some thorns into a victor's crown, and placed it on his head.

isv@Mark:15:18 @ They began to greet him, “Long live the king of the Jews!”

isv@Mark:15:21 @ They forced a certain passer-by who was coming in from the country to carry Jesus’ cross. He was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus.

isv@Mark:15:26 @ The written notice of the charge against him read, “The king of the Jews.”

isv@Mark:15:29 @ Those who passed by kept insulting him, shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days—

isv@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes, were also making fun of him among themselves. They kept saying, “He saved others but can't save himself!

isv@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now so that we may see it and believe.” Even the men who were crucified with him kept insulting him.

isv@Mark:15:33 @ At twelve noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

isv@Mark:15:34 @ At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice,“Eloi, eloi, lema sabachthani?”, which means,“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

isv@Mark:15:35 @ When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, “Listen! He's calling for Elijah!”

isv@Mark:15:36 @ So someone ran and soaked a sponge in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink, saying, “Wait! Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down!”

isv@Mark:15:37 @ Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last.

isv@Mark:15:39 @ When the centurion who stood facing Jesus saw how he had cried out and breathed his last, he said, “This man certainly was the Son of God!”

isv@Mark:15:40 @ Now there were women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of young James and Joseph, and Salome.

isv@Mark:15:41 @ They used to accompany him and care for him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him were there, too.

isv@Mark:15:42 @ It was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath. Since it was already evening,

isv@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathea, a highly respected member of the Council, who was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

isv@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate wondered if Jesus had already died, so he summoned the centurion to ask him if he was in fact dead.

isv@Mark:15:47 @ Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.

isv@Mark:16:2 @ Very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had just come up, they were going to the tomb.

isv@Mark:16:5 @ As they went into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were utterly astonished.

isv@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, “Stop being astonished! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised. He is not here. Look at the place where they laid him.

isv@Mark:16:7 @ But go and tell his disciples, especially Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.”

isv@Mark:16:8 @ So they left the tomb and ran away, for shock and astonishment had overwhelmed them. They didn't say a thing to anyone, because they were afraid.

isv@Mark:16:9 @ After Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had driven out seven demons.

isv@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him and who now were grieving and crying.

isv@Mark:16:11 @ When they heard that he was alive and that he had been seen by her, they refused to believe it.

isv@Mark:16:12 @ After this, he appeared in a different form to two disciples as they were walking into the country.

isv@Mark:16:14 @ Finally he appeared to the eleven disciples while they were eating. He rebuked them for their unbelief and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had risen.

isv@Mark:16:15 @ Then he said to them,“As you go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

isv@Mark:16:17 @ “These are the signs that will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

isv@Mark:16:18 @ they will pick up snakes in their hands;even if they drink any deadly poison it will not hurt them; and they will place their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

isv@Mark:16:20 @ The disciples went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the signs that accompanied it.

isv@Luke:1:2 @ just as they were passed down to us by those who had been eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning,

isv@Luke:1:3 @ I, too, have carefully investigated everything from the beginning and have decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

isv@Luke:1:5 @ In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly order of Abijah. His wife was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

isv@Luke:1:6 @ Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, and they lived blamelessly according to all of the commandments and regulations of the Lord.

isv@Luke:1:7 @ They had no children because Elizabeth was barren and because both of them were getting on in years.

isv@Luke:1:8 @ When Zechariah was serving with his division of priests in God's presence,

isv@Luke:1:10 @ And the entire congregation of people was praying outside at the time when the incense was burned.

isv@Luke:1:11 @ An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar.

isv@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, “Stop being afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.

isv@Luke:1:14 @ You will have joy and gladness, and many people will rejoice at his birth.

isv@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will never drink wine or any strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.

isv@Luke:1:17 @ He is the one who will go before the Lord with the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and to prepare the people to be ready for the Lord.”

isv@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

isv@Luke:1:22 @ But when he did come out, he was unable to speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept motioning to them but remained unable to speak.

isv@Luke:1:23 @ When the days of his service were over, he went home.

isv@Luke:1:24 @ After this, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and remained in seclusion for five months. She said,

isv@Luke:1:26 @ Now in the sixth month of her pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth,

isv@Luke:1:28 @ The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you!”

isv@Luke:1:29 @ She was startled by his statement and tried to figure out what his greeting meant.

isv@Luke:1:31 @ Listen! You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus.

isv@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 forefather David.

isv@Luke:1:33 @ He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end.”

isv@Luke:1:34 @ Mary asked the angel, “How can this be, since I have not had relations with a man?”

isv@Luke:1:35 @ The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come over you, and the power of the Most High will cover you. Therefore, the child will be holy and will be called the Son of God.

isv@Luke:1:36 @ And listen! Elizabeth, your relative, has herself conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for the woman who was said to be barren.

isv@Luke:1:40 @ She went into Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth.

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

isv@Luke:1:42 @ and exclaimed with a loud cry, “How blessed are you among women, and how blessed is the fruit of your womb!

isv@Luke:1:44 @ For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.

isv@Luke:1:46 @ Then Mary said, “My soul praises the greatness of the Lord!

isv@Luke:1:49 @ because the Almighty has done great things for me.His name is holy.

isv@Luke:1:51 @ He displayed his mighty power with his arm. He scattered people who were proud in mind and heart.

isv@Luke:1:54 @ He helped his servant Israel,remembering to be merciful,

isv@Luke:1:55 @ according to the promise he made to our ancestors—to Abraham and his descendants forever.”

isv@Luke:1:56 @ Now Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then went back home.

isv@Luke:1:58 @ Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.

isv@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day they went to circumcise the child. They were going to name him Zechariah after his father,

isv@Luke:1:61 @ Their friends said to her, “None of your relatives has that name.”

isv@Luke:1:64 @ Suddenly, Zechariah's mouth was opened, his tongue was set free, and he began to speak and to praise God.

isv@Luke:1:65 @ Fear came over all their neighbors, and throughout the hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.

isv@Luke:1:68 @ “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel!He has taken care of his people and has set them free.

isv@Luke:1:72 @ He has shown mercy to our ancestorsand remembered his holy covenant,

isv@Luke:1:73 @ the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham. He granted us

isv@Luke:1:75 @ and be holy and righteous before him all of our days.

isv@Luke:1:76 @ And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For you will go ahead of the Lord to prepare his ways

isv@Luke:1:80 @ Now the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit. He lived in the wilderness until the day he appeared in Israel.

isv@Luke:2:1 @ Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be registered.

isv@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first registration taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

isv@Luke:2:3 @ So all the people went to their hometowns to be registered.

isv@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph, too, went up from the city of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was a descendant of the household and family of David.

isv@Luke:2:5 @ He went there to be registered with Mary, who had been promised to him in marriage and was pregnant.

isv@Luke:2:6 @ While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby,

isv@Luke:2:7 @ and she gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was not any room for them in the inn.

isv@Luke:2:8 @ In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, watching their flock during the night.

isv@Luke:2:9 @ An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

isv@Luke:2:10 @ Then the angel said to them, “Stop being afraid! Listen! I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.

isv@Luke:2:13 @ Suddenly a multitude of the Heavenly Army appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

isv@Luke:2:17 @ When they saw this, they repeated what they had been told about this child.

isv@Luke:2:18 @ All who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them,

isv@Luke:2:19 @ but Mary continued to treasure in her heart all these things and to ponder them.

isv@Luke:2:20 @ Then the shepherds returned to their flock, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

isv@Luke:2:21 @ After eight days had passed, the child was circumcised and named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

isv@Luke:2:22 @ When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,

isv@Luke:2:24 @ They also offered a sacrifice according to what is specified in the law of the Lord: “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”

isv@Luke:2:25 @ Now a man named Simeon was in Jerusalem. This man was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the one who would comfort Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him.

isv@Luke:2:26 @ It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he had seen the Lord's Christ.

isv@Luke:2:27 @ Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple. When the parents brought the child Jesus to do for him what was customary under the law,

isv@Luke:2:29 @ “Master, now you are allowing your servant to leave in peaceaccording to your word.

isv@Luke:2:31 @ which you prepared for all people to see—

isv@Luke:2:32 @ a light that will reveal salvation to the Gentiles and bring glory to your people Israel.”

isv@Luke:2:35 @ so that the inner thoughts of many people might be revealed. Indeed, a sword will pierce your own soul, too.”

isv@Luke:2:36 @ Now Anna, a prophetess, was also there. She was a descendant of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very old, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage,

isv@Luke:2:37 @ and then as a widow for eighty-four years. She never left the temple, but continued to worship there night and day with times of fasting and prayer.

isv@Luke:2:38 @ Just then she came forward and began to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:2:39 @ After doing everything required by the law of the Lord, Joseph and Mary returned to their hometown of Nazareth in Galilee.

isv@Luke:2:41 @ Every year Jesus’ parents would go to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival.

isv@Luke:2:43 @ When the days of the festival were over, they left for home. The young man Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.

isv@Luke:2:44 @ They thought that he was in the group of travelers. After traveling for a day, they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.

isv@Luke:2:45 @ When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching desperately for him.

isv@Luke:2:46 @ Three days later they found him in the temple sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions.

isv@Luke:2:47 @ All who heard him were amazed at his intelligence and his answers.

isv@Luke:2:48 @ When his parents saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!”

isv@Luke:2:49 @ He said to them,“Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I had to be in my Father's house?”

isv@Luke:2:51 @ Then he went down with them and returned to Nazareth; and he remained in submission to them. His mother continued to treasure all these things in her heart.

isv@Luke:3:1 @ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Caesar Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

isv@Luke:3:3 @ John went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

isv@Luke:3:4 @ as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “He is a voice calling out in the wilderness:‘Prepare the way for the Lord! Make his paths straight!

isv@Luke:3:7 @ John would say to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him, “You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

isv@Luke:3:8 @ Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance! Don't begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our forefather.’ For I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones!

isv@Luke:3:9 @ The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire.”

isv@Luke:3:11 @ He answered them, “The person who has two coats must share with the one who doesn't have any, and the person who has food must do the same.”

isv@Luke:3:13 @ He told them, “Stop collecting more money than the amount you are told to collect.”

isv@Luke:3:14 @ Even some soldiers were asking him, “And what should we do?”He told them, “Never extort money from anyone by threats or blackmail, and be satisfied with your pay.”

isv@Luke:3:15 @ Now the people were filled with expectation, and all of them were wondering if John was perhaps the Christ.

isv@Luke:3:16 @ John replied to all of them, “I am baptizing you with water, but the one who is stronger than I am is coming, and I am not worthy to untie his sandal straps. It is he who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

isv@Luke:3:17 @ His winnowing fork is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor. He will gather the grain into his barn, but he will burn the chaff with inextinguishable fire.”

isv@Luke:3:19 @ Now Herod the tetrarch had been rebuked by John because he had married his brother's wife Herodias and because of all the evil things Herod had done.

isv@Luke:3:22 @ and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you!”

isv@Luke:3:33 @ the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,

isv@Luke:3:35 @ the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,

isv@Luke:3:37 @ the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,

isv@Luke:4:1 @ Then Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. He was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

isv@Luke:4:2 @ where he was being tempted by the devil for forty days. During those days he ate nothing at all, and when they were over he was hungry.

isv@Luke:4:3 @ The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”

isv@Luke:4:4 @ Jesus answered him,“It is written,‘One must not live on bread alone,but on every word of God.’”

isv@Luke:4:8 @ But Jesus answered him,“It is written,‘You must worship the Lord your Godand serve only him.’”

isv@Luke:4:9 @ The devil also took him into Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.

isv@Luke:4:10 @ For it is written, ‘God will put his angels in charge of youto watch over you carefully.

isv@Luke:4:12 @ Jesus answered him,“It has been said,‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”

isv@Luke:4:14 @ Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Holy Spirit. Meanwhile, the news about him spread throughout the surrounding country.

isv@Luke:4:15 @ He began to teach in their synagogues and was continuously receiving praise from everyone.

isv@Luke:4:16 @ Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been raised. As was his custom, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. When he stood up to read,

isv@Luke:4:17 @ the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,

isv@Luke:4:18 @ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,because he has anointed me to tellthe good news to the poor. He has sent me to announce release to the prisonersand recovery of sight to the blind,to set oppressed people free,

isv@Luke:4:20 @ Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him.

isv@Luke:4:21 @ Then he began to say to them,“Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

isv@Luke:4:23 @ So he said to them,“You will probably quote this proverb to me, ‘Doctor, heal yourself! Do all the things here in your hometown that we hear you did in Capernaum.’”

isv@Luke:4:25 @ In truth I tell you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the heaven was closed for three years and six months and there was a severe famine everywhere in the land.

isv@Luke:4:26 @ Yet Elijah wasn't sent to a single one of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

isv@Luke:4:27 @ There were also many lepers in Israel in the prophet Elisha's time, yet not one of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”

isv@Luke:4:32 @ They were utterly amazed at his teaching, because his message was spoken with authority.

isv@Luke:4:33 @ In the synagogue was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. He screamed with a loud voice,

isv@Luke:4:34 @ “Oh, no! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

isv@Luke:4:35 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying,“Be quiet, and come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down in the middle of the synagogue and came out of him without hurting him.

isv@Luke:4:37 @ So news about him spread to every place in the surrounding region.

isv@Luke:4:39 @ He bent over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began serving them.

isv@Luke:4:41 @ Even demons came out of many people, screaming, “You are the Son of God!” But Jesus rebuked them and ordered them not to speak, because they knew he was the Christ.

isv@Luke:4:42 @ At daybreak he left and went to a deserted place, while the crowds kept looking for him. When they came to him, they tried to keep him from leaving them.

isv@Luke:4:44 @ So he continued to preach in the synagogues of Galilee.

isv@Luke:5:1 @ One day as the crowd was pressing in on him to listen to God's word, Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

isv@Luke:5:2 @ He saw two boats lying on the shore, but the fishermen had stepped out of them and were washing their nets.

isv@Luke:5:3 @ So Jesus got into one of the boats (the one that belonged to Simon) and asked him to push out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and began to teach the crowds from the boat.

isv@Luke:5:5 @ Simon answered, “Master, we have worked hard all night and caught nothing. But if you say so, I'll lower the nets.”

isv@Luke:5:9 @ For Simon and all the people who were with him were amazed at the number of fish they had caught,

isv@Luke:5:10 @ and so were James and John, Zebedee's sons and Simon's partners.Then Jesus said to Simon,“Stop being afraid. From now on you will be catching people.”

isv@Luke:5:11 @ So when they brought the boats to shore, they left everything and followed Jesus.

isv@Luke:5:12 @ One day while Jesus was in one of the cities, a man covered with leprosy saw Jesus and fell on his face, begging him, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

isv@Luke:5:13 @ So Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying,“I do want to. Be made clean!” Instantly the leprosy left him.

isv@Luke:5:14 @ Then Jesus ordered him,“Don't tell anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing as Moses commanded as proof to the authorities.”

isv@Luke:5:15 @ But the news about Jesus spread even more, and many crowds began gathering to hear him and to be healed of their diseases.

isv@Luke:5:16 @ However, he continued his habit of retiring to deserted places and praying.

isv@Luke:5:17 @ One day as Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and teachers of the law happened to be sitting near by. The people had come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was present to heal them.

isv@Luke:5:18 @ Some men were bringing a paralyzed man on a stretcher. They were trying to take him into the house and place him in front of Jesus.

isv@Luke:5:19 @ When they couldn't find a way to get him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down on his stretcher through the tiles into the middle of the room, right in front of Jesus.

isv@Luke:5:20 @ When Jesus saw their faith, he said,“Mister,your sins are forgiven.”

isv@Luke:5:22 @ Because Jesus knew that they were arguing, he said to them,“Why are you arguing about this among yourselves?

isv@Luke:5:23 @ Whichis easier: to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say ‘Get up and walk’?

isv@Luke:5:24 @ ButI want you to knowthat the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”Then he said to the paralyzed man,“I say to you: Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home!”

isv@Luke:5:26 @ Amazement seized all the people, and they began to praise God. They were filled with fear and declared, “We have seen wonderful things today!”

isv@Luke:5:29 @ Then Levi gave a large banquet at his home for Jesus. A large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them.

isv@Luke:5:31 @ But Jesus answered them,“Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick people do.

isv@Luke:5:32 @ I have not come to call righteous people, but sinners, to repentance.”

isv@Luke:5:33 @ Then they said to him, “John's disciples frequently fast and pray, and so do those of the Pharisees. But your disciples keep right on eating and drinking.”

isv@Luke:5:38 @ Rather, new wine is to be poured into fresh wineskins.

isv@Luke:6:1 @ Once, on the second Sabbath after the first, Jesus was walking through some grainfields. His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

isv@Luke:6:2 @ Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

isv@Luke:6:3 @ Jesus answered them,“Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions became hungry?

isv@Luke:6:4 @ How was it that he went into the house of God and took and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and gave some of it to his companions?”

isv@Luke:6:6 @ Once, on another Sabbath, Jesus went into a synagogue and began teaching. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there.

isv@Luke:6:7 @ The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, in order to find a way of accusing him of doing something wrong.

isv@Luke:6:8 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the paralyzed hand,“Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue.” So he got up and stood there.

isv@Luke:6:10 @ He looked around at all of them and then said to the man,“Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand was restored to health.

isv@Luke:6:11 @ The others were filled with fury and began to discuss with each other what they could do to Jesus.

isv@Luke:6:14 @ Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholemew,

isv@Luke:6:17 @ Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place, along with a huge crowd of his disciples and a large gathering of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

isv@Luke:6:18 @ They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Even those who were being tormented by unclean spirits were being healed.

isv@Luke:6:19 @ The entire crowd was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing all of them.

isv@Luke:6:20 @ Then Jesus looked at his disciples and said, “How blessed are you who are destitute,for the kingdom of God is yours!

isv@Luke:6:21 @ How blessed are you who are hungry now,for you will be satisfied! How blessed are you who are crying now,for you will laugh!

isv@Luke:6:22 @ How blessed are you whenever people hate you, avoid you, insult you, and slander you because of the Son of Man!

isv@Luke:6:23 @ Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for your reward in heaven is great! For that's the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.

isv@Luke:6:24 @ “But how terrible it will be for you who are rich,for you have had your comfort!

isv@Luke:6:25 @ How terrible it will be for you who are full now,for you will be hungry! How terrible it will be for you who are laughing now,for you will mourn and cry!

isv@Luke:6:26 @ How terrible it will be for you when everyone says nice things about you, for that's the way their ancestors used to treat the false prophets!”

isv@Luke:6:27 @ “But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.

isv@Luke:6:35 @ Rather, love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, for he is kind to ungrateful and evil people.

isv@Luke:6:38 @ Give, and it will be given to you. A large quantity, pressed together, shaken down, and running over will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use,you will be measured.”

isv@Luke:6:42 @ How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you don't see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you'll see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”

isv@Luke:6:43 @ “A good tree doesn't produce rotten fruit, and a rotten tree doesn't produce good fruit.

isv@Luke:6:44 @ For every tree is known by its own fruit. Peopledon't gather figs from thorny plants or pick grapes from a thorn bush.

isv@Luke:6:45 @ A good person produces good from the good treasure of his heart, and an evil person produces evil from an evil treasure. For it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.”

isv@Luke:7:2 @ There a centurion's servant, whom he valued highly, was sick and about to die.

isv@Luke:7:4 @ So they went to Jesus and begged him repeatedly, “He deserves to have this done for him,

isv@Luke:7:7 @ That's why I didn't presume to come to you. But just say the word, and let my servant be healed.

isv@Luke:7:10 @ Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant in perfect health.

isv@Luke:7:11 @ Soon afterwards, Jesus went to a city called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were going along with him.

isv@Luke:7:14 @ Then he went up and touched the open coffin, and the men who were carrying it stopped. He said,“Young man, I say to you, get up!”

isv@Luke:7:16 @ Fear gripped everyone, and they began to praise God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us,” and “God has helped his people.”

isv@Luke:7:17 @ This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding countryside.

isv@Luke:7:19 @ and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?”

isv@Luke:7:20 @ When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?’”

isv@Luke:7:21 @ At that time Jesus had healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits and had given sight to many who were blind.

isv@Luke:7:22 @ So he answered them,“Go and tell John what you have observed and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear again, the dead are raised, and the destitute hear the good news.

isv@Luke:7:24 @ When John's messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John.“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

isv@Luke:7:25 @ Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fine clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces.

isv@Luke:7:26 @ Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!

isv@Luke:7:27 @ Thisis the man about whom it is written,‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,who will prepare your way before you.’

isv@Luke:7:28 @ I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John. Yet even the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”

isv@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and the experts in the law rejected God's plan for themselves by refusing to be baptized by him.

isv@Luke:7:31 @ “To what can I compare the people of this generation?

isv@Luke:7:32 @ Theyare like little children who sit in the marketplace and shout to each other,‘A wedding song we played for you,the dance you did but scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too,but then you did not mourn.’

isv@Luke:7:33 @ For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, yet you say, ‘He has a demon!’

isv@Luke:7:37 @ There was a woman who was a notorious sinner in that city. When she learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's home, she took an alabaster jar of perfume

isv@Luke:7:39 @ Now the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this and said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who is touching him and what kind of woman she is. She's a sinner!”

isv@Luke:7:40 @ Jesus said to him,“Simon, I have something to say to you.”“Teacher,” he replied, “say it.”

isv@Luke:7:41 @ “Two men were in debt to a moneylender. One owed him 500 denarii,and the other fifty.

isv@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, “I suppose the one who had the larger debt canceled.”Jesus said to him,“You have answered correctly.”

isv@Luke:7:47 @ So I'm telling you that her sins, as many as they are, have been forgiven, and that's why she has shown such great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven loves little.”

isv@Luke:7:48 @ Then Jesus said to her,“Your sins are forgiven!”

isv@Luke:7:49 @ Those who were at the table with them began to say among themselves, “Who is this man who even forgives sins?”

isv@Luke:8:1 @ After this, Jesus traveled from one city and village to another, preaching and spreading the good news about God's kingdom. The twelve were with him,

isv@Luke:8:3 @ Joanna, the wife of Herod's household manager Chuza; Susanna; and many others. These women continued to support them out of their personal resources.

isv@Luke:8:4 @ Now while a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to him from every city, he said in a parable:

isv@Luke:8:5 @ “A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, were trampled on, and the birds of the sky ate them up.

isv@Luke:8:6 @ Others fell on stony ground, and as soon as they came up, they dried up because they had no moisture.

isv@Luke:8:7 @ Others fell among thornbushes, and the thornbushes grew with them and choked them.

isv@Luke:8:8 @ But others fell on good soil, and when they came up, they produced a hundred times as much as was planted.” As he said this, he called out,“Let the person who has ears to hear, listen!”

isv@Luke:8:10 @ So he said,“You have been given knowledge about the secrets of the kingdom of God. But to others they are givenin parables, so that‘they might look but not see,and they might listen but not understand.’”

isv@Luke:8:12 @ The ones on the path are the people who listen, but then the devil comes and takes the word away from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

isv@Luke:8:13 @ The ones on the stony ground are the people who welcome the word with joy when they hear it. But since they don't have any roots, they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.

isv@Luke:8:14 @ The ones that fell among the thornbushes are the people who listen, but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries, wealth, and pleasures of life, and their fruit doesn't mature.

isv@Luke:8:15 @ But the ones on the good soil are the people who also hear the word but hold on to it with good and honest hearts and produce a crop through endurance.”

isv@Luke:8:17 @ For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and there is nothing secret that will not become known and come to light.

isv@Luke:8:18 @ So pay attention to how you listen. For to the one who has something, more will be given. However, from the one who doesn't have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

isv@Luke:8:20 @ He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and want to see you.”

isv@Luke:8:21 @ But he answered them,“My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”

isv@Luke:8:23 @ Now as they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A violent storm swept over the lake, and they were taking on water and were in great danger.

isv@Luke:8:24 @ So they went to him, woke him up, and said, “Master! Master! We're going to die!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. They stopped, and there was calm.

isv@Luke:8:25 @ Then he asked the disciples,“Where is your faith?”Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this man? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!”

isv@Luke:8:26 @ They landed in the region of the Gerasenes, which is just across the lake from Galilee.

isv@Luke:8:27 @ When Jesus stepped out on the shore, a certain man from the city met him. This man was controlled by demons and had not worn clothes for a long time. He did not live in a house but in the tombs.

isv@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he screamed, fell down in front of him, and said in a loud voice, “What do you want from me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me!”

isv@Luke:8:29 @ For Jesus was in the process of ordering the unclean spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions the unclean spirit had seized the man, and though he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into deserted places.

isv@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him,“What's your name?”He answered, “Legion,” because many demons had gone into him.

isv@Luke:8:32 @ Now a large herd of pigs was grazing there on the hillside. So the demons begged Jesus to let them go into those pigs, and he let them do this.

isv@Luke:8:34 @ Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside.

isv@Luke:8:35 @ So the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

isv@Luke:8:37 @ Then all the people from the region surrounding the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were terrified. So he got into a boat and started back.

isv@Luke:8:39 @ “Go home and declare how much God has done for you.”So the man left and kept proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

isv@Luke:8:42 @ because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. While Jesus was on his way, the crowds continued to press in on him.

isv@Luke:8:43 @ A woman was there who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years. Although she had spent all she had on doctors, no one could heal her.

isv@Luke:8:45 @ Jesus asked,“Who touched me?”While everyone was denying it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing in on you.”

isv@Luke:8:47 @ When the woman saw that she couldn't hide, she came forward trembling. Bowing down in front of him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched Jesus and how she had been instantly healed.

isv@Luke:8:49 @ While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's home and said, “Your daughter is dead. Stop bothering the teacher anymore.”

isv@Luke:8:55 @ So her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he directed that she be given something to eat.

isv@Luke:8:56 @ Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

isv@Luke:9:3 @ He told them,“Don't take anything along on the trip—no walking stick, traveling bag, bread, money, or even an extra shirt.

isv@Luke:9:4 @ When you go into a home, stay there and leave from there.

isv@Luke:9:6 @ So they left and went from village to village, spreading the good news and healing diseases everywhere.

isv@Luke:9:8 @ by others that Elijah had appeared, and by still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.

isv@Luke:9:12 @ As the day was drawing to a close, the twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away to the neighboring villages and farms so they can rest and get some food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

isv@Luke:9:13 @ But he said to them,“You give them something to eat.”They replied, “We have nothing more than five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

isv@Luke:9:14 @ Now there were about 5,000 men. So he said to his disciples,“Have them sit down in groups of about fifty.”

isv@Luke:9:17 @ All of them ate and were filled. When they collected the leftover pieces, there were twelve baskets.

isv@Luke:9:18 @ One day while Jesus was praying privately and the disciples were with him, he asked them,“Who do the crowds say I am?”

isv@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the ancient prophets who has come back to life.”

isv@Luke:9:20 @ He asked them,“But who do you say I am?”Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

isv@Luke:9:21 @ He strictly ordered and commanded them not to tell this to anyone.

isv@Luke:9:22 @ He said,“The Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he must be killed, but on the third day he will be raised.”

isv@Luke:9:27 @ Truly I tell you, some people who are standing here will not experience death until they see the kingdom of God.”

isv@Luke:9:30 @ Suddenly, two men were talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah.

isv@Luke:9:31 @ They appeared in glory and were discussing Jesus’ departure which he was about to bring to fulfillment in Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:9:33 @ Just as Moses and Elijah were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (Peter didn't know what he was saying.)

isv@Luke:9:34 @ But while he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them, and they were frightened as they went into the cloud.

isv@Luke:9:39 @ Without warning a spirit takes control of him, and he suddenly screams, goes into convulsions, and foams at the mouth. The spirit mauls him and refuses to leave him.

isv@Luke:9:41 @ Jesus answered,“You unbelieving and perverted generation! How much longer must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here!”

isv@Luke:9:42 @ Even while the boy was coming, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

isv@Luke:9:43 @ So all the people continued to be amazed at the greatness of God. Indeed, everyone was astonished at all the things Jesus was doing. So he said to his disciples,

isv@Luke:9:44 @ “Listen carefully to these words.The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands.”

isv@Luke:9:45 @ But they didn't know what this meant. Indeed, the meaning was hidden from them so that they didn't understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

isv@Luke:9:46 @ Now an argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest.

isv@Luke:9:48 @ Then he said to them,“Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among all of you is the one who is greatest.”

isv@Luke:9:51 @ When the days grew closer for Jesus to be taken up to heaven, he was determined to continue his journey to Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:9:52 @ So he sent messengers on ahead of him. On their way they went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.

isv@Luke:9:54 @ When his disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them, as Elijah did?

isv@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned and rebuked them,

isv@Luke:9:57 @ While they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

isv@Luke:9:58 @ Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes and birdshave nests,but the Son of Man has no place to rest.”

isv@Luke:10:2 @ He was telling them,“The harvest is vast, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers out into his harvest.

isv@Luke:10:4 @ Don't carry a wallet, a traveling bag, or sandals, and don't greet anyone on the way.

isv@Luke:10:5 @ “Whatever house you go into, first say, ‘May there be peace in this house.’

isv@Luke:10:6 @ If a peaceful person lives there, your greeting of peace will remain with him. But if that's not the case, your greetingwill come back to you.

isv@Luke:10:9 @ heal the sick that are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you!’

isv@Luke:10:10 @ But whenever you go into a town and peopledon't welcome you, go out into its streets and say,

isv@Luke:10:11 @ ‘We are wiping off your town's dust that clings to our feet in protest against you! But realize this: the kingdom of God is near!’

isv@Luke:10:13 @ “How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

isv@Luke:10:14 @ It will be easier for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you! 15And you, Capernaum! You won't be lifted up to heaven, will you? You'll go down to Hades!

isv@Luke:10:16 @ The person who listens to you listens to me, and the person who rejects you rejects me. The person who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”

isv@Luke:10:17 @ The seventy came back and joyously reported, “Lord, even the demons are submitting to us in your name!”

isv@Luke:10:20 @ However, stop rejoicing because the spirits are submitting to you. Rather, rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

isv@Luke:10:21 @ In that hour Jesus was extremely joyful in the Holy Spirit and said,“I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this is what was pleasing to you.

isv@Luke:10:22 @ All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knowswho the Father is except the Son and the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

isv@Luke:10:23 @ Then turning to the disciples in private, he said to them,“How blessed are the eyes that see what you see!

isv@Luke:10:26 @ Jesus answered him,“What is written in the law? What do you read there?”

isv@Luke:10:27 @ He answered, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And you must love your neighbor as yourself.”

isv@Luke:10:28 @ Jesus told him,“You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

isv@Luke:10:30 @ After careful consideration, Jesus replied,“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

isv@Luke:10:34 @ He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

isv@Luke:10:35 @ The next day he took out two denariiand gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take good care of him. If you spend more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.’

isv@Luke:10:36 @ “Of these three men, who do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the bandits?”

isv@Luke:10:38 @ Now as they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.

isv@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was worrying about all the things she had to do, so she came to him and asked, “Lord, you do care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself, don't you? Then tell her to help me.”

isv@Luke:10:41 @ The Lord answered her,“Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things.

isv@Luke:10:42 @ But there's onlyone thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better,and it is not to be taken away from her.”

isv@Luke:11:2 @ So he told them,“Whenever you pray you are to say,‘Father,may your name be kept holy.May your kingdom come.

isv@Luke:11:3 @ Keep giving us every day our daily bread,

isv@Luke:11:5 @ Then he said to them,“Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, let me borrow three loaves of bread.

isv@Luke:11:7 @ Suppose he answers from inside, ‘Stop bothering me! The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything!’

isv@Luke:11:10 @ For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the dooropened.

isv@Luke:11:11 @ “What father among you, if his son asks for bread, would give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish,would give him a snake instead of the fish?

isv@Luke:11:13 @ So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking him!”

isv@Luke:11:14 @ Jesus was driving a demon out of a man who was unable to talk. When the demon had gone out, the man began to speak, and the crowds were amazed.

isv@Luke:11:17 @ Since he knew what they were thinking, he said to them,“Every kingdom divided against itself is devastated, and a divided household collapses.

isv@Luke:11:24 @ “Whenever an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it wanders through dry places looking for a place to rest but doesn't find any. So it says, ‘I will go back to my home that I left.’

isv@Luke:11:26 @ Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and settle there. And so the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”

isv@Luke:11:27 @ As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “How blessed is the womb that gave birth to you and the breasts that nursed you!”

isv@Luke:11:28 @ But he said,“Rather, how blessed are those who hear God's word and obey it!”

isv@Luke:11:31 @ The queen of the south will stand up at the judgment with the people of this generation and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look, something greater than Solomon is here!

isv@Luke:11:32 @ The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look, something greater than Jonah is here!”

isv@Luke:11:35 @ Therefore, be careful that the light in you isn't darkness.

isv@Luke:11:38 @ The Pharisee was surprised to see that he didn't first wash before the meal.

isv@Luke:11:39 @ But the Lord said to him,“Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but on the inside you are full of greed and evil.

isv@Luke:11:42 @ “How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! For you give a tenth of your mint, spices, and every kind of herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.

isv@Luke:11:43 @ How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! For you love to have the places of honor in the synagogues and to be greeted in the marketplaces.

isv@Luke:11:44 @ How terrible it will be for you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk on them without realizing it.”

isv@Luke:11:46 @ Jesus said,“How terrible it will be for you experts in the law, too! For you load people with burdens that are hard to carry, yet you yourselves don't even lift one of your fingers to ease the burdens.

isv@Luke:11:48 @ Soyou are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed those for whom you are building monuments.

isv@Luke:11:52 @ How terrible it will be for you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You didn't go in yourselves, and you kept out those who were trying to go in.”

isv@Luke:12:1 @ Meanwhile, the people had gathered by the thousands and were trampling on one another. Jesus began to speak first to his disciples.“Watch out for the yeast—that is, the hypocrisy—of the Pharisees!

isv@Luke:12:2 @ There is nothing covered that will not be exposed and nothing secret that will not be made known.

isv@Luke:12:3 @ Accordingly, what you have said in darkness will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whisperedin private rooms will be shouted from the housetops.”

isv@Luke:12:4 @ “But I tell you, my friends, never be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can't do anything more.

isv@Luke:12:6 @ “Five sparrows are sold for two pennies, aren't they? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight.

isv@Luke:12:7 @ Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows.”

isv@Luke:12:8 @ “But I tell you, the Son of Man will acknowledge before God's angels everyone who acknowledges me before people.

isv@Luke:12:9 @ But whoever denies me before people will be denied before God's angels.

isv@Luke:12:11 @ When peoplebring you before synagogue leaders,rulers, or authorities, don't worry about howyou will defend yourselves or what you will say.

isv@Luke:12:12 @ For in that hour the Holy Spirit will teach you what you are to say.”

isv@Luke:12:15 @ Then he said to them,“Be careful to guard yourselves against every kind of greed, for a person's life doesn't consist of the amount of possessions he has.”

isv@Luke:12:17 @ So he began to think to himself, ‘What should I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’

isv@Luke:12:18 @ Thenhe said, ‘This is what I'll do. I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and I'll store all my grain and goods in them.

isv@Luke:12:19 @ Then I'll say to my soul, “Soul, you've stored up plenty of good things for many years. Take it easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’

isv@Luke:12:21 @ That's how it is with the person who stores up treasures for himself and isn't rich toward God.”

isv@Luke:12:23 @ For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

isv@Luke:12:24 @ Consider the crows.They don't plant or harvest, they don't even have a storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!

isv@Luke:12:28 @ Now if that's the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow, how much more will he clothe you—you who have little faith?

isv@Luke:12:29 @ “So stop concerning yourselves about what you will eat or what you will drink, and stop being distressed.

isv@Luke:12:30 @ For it is the Gentiles who are concerned about all these things. Surely your Father knows that you need them!

isv@Luke:12:33 @ “Sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor. Make yourselves wallets that don't wear out—a dependable treasure in heaven, where no thief can get close and no moth can destroy anything.

isv@Luke:12:34 @ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

isv@Luke:12:36 @ Be like people who are waiting for their master to return from a wedding. As soon as he comes and knocks, they will open the door for him.

isv@Luke:12:37 @ How blessed are those servants whom the master finds watching for him when he comes! Truly I tell you, he will put an apron on, make them sit down at the table, and go around and serve them.

isv@Luke:12:39 @ But be sure of this: if the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched andwould not have let his house be broken into.

isv@Luke:12:40 @ So be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you don't expect him.”

isv@Luke:12:41 @ Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable just for us or for everyone?”

isv@Luke:12:42 @ The Lord said,“Who, then, is the faithful and careful manager whom his master will put in charge of giving all his other servants their share of food at the right time?

isv@Luke:12:48 @ But the servantwho did things that deserved a beating without knowing it will receive a light beating. Much will be required from everyone to whom much has been given. But even more will be demanded from the one to whom much has been entrusted.”

isv@Luke:12:58 @ For example, when you go with your opponent in front of a ruler, do your best to settle with him on the way there. Otherwise, you will be dragged in front of the judge, and the judge will hand you over to an officer, and the officer will throw you into prison.

isv@Luke:12:59 @ I tell you, you will never get out of there until you pay back the last penny!”

isv@Luke:13:1 @ At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

isv@Luke:13:2 @ He asked them,“Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered like this?

isv@Luke:13:3 @ Absolutely not, I tell you! But if you don't repent, then you, too, will all die.

isv@Luke:13:4 @ What about those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were worse offenders than all the other people living in Jerusalem?

isv@Luke:13:5 @ Absolutely not, I tell you! But if you don't repent, then you, too, will all die.”

isv@Luke:13:6 @ Then Jesus told them this parable:“A man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but didn't find any.

isv@Luke:13:7 @ So he said to the gardener, ‘Look here! For three years I have been coming to look for fruit on this tree but haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the soil?’

isv@Luke:13:8 @ But the gardenerreplied, ‘Sir, leave it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

isv@Luke:13:11 @ A woman was there who had a spirit that had disabled her for eighteen years. She was hunched over and completely unable to stand up straight.

isv@Luke:13:12 @ When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said,“Woman, you are free from your illness.”

isv@Luke:13:14 @ But the synagogue leader, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, told the crowd, “There are six days when work is to be done. So come on those days to be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.”

isv@Luke:13:15 @ The Lord replied to him,“You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey and lead it out of the stall to give it some water?

isv@Luke:13:16 @ Shouldn't this woman, a descendant of Abraham whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”

isv@Luke:13:17 @ Even as he was saying this, all of his opponents were blushing with shame. But the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things he was doing.

isv@Luke:13:18 @ So Jesus went on to say,“What is the kingdom of God like? What can I compare it to?

isv@Luke:13:19 @ It is like a mustard seed that someone took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds in the sky nest in its branches.”

isv@Luke:13:20 @ Again he said,“What can I compare the kingdom of God to?

isv@Luke:13:21 @ It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed withthree measures of flour until all of it was leavened.”

isv@Luke:13:23 @ Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”He said to them,

isv@Luke:13:25 @ After the homeowner gets up and closes the door, you can standoutside, knock on the door, and say again and again, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will answer you, ‘I don't know where you come from.’

isv@Luke:13:26 @ Thenyou will say,‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

isv@Luke:13:27 @ But he will tell you, ‘I don't know where you come from. Get away from me, all you evildoers!’

isv@Luke:13:28 @ In that place there will be crying and gnashing of teethwhen you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves being driven away on the outside.

isv@Luke:13:30 @ You see, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

isv@Luke:13:31 @ At that hour some Pharisees came and told Jesus, “Leave and get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you!”

isv@Luke:13:34 @ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones to death those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you didn't want to!

isv@Luke:14:1 @ One Sabbath, Jesus went to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal. The guests were watching Jesus closely.

isv@Luke:14:2 @ A man whose body was swollen with fluid suddenly appeared in front of him.

isv@Luke:14:7 @ When Jesus noticed how the guests were choosing the places of honor, he told them a parable.

isv@Luke:14:8 @ “When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don't sit down at the place of honor in case someone more important than you was invited by him.

isv@Luke:14:10 @ But when you are invited, go and sit down at the place of least honor. Then, when your host comes, he will tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher,’ and you will be honored in the presence of all who eat with you.

isv@Luke:14:12 @ Then he told the man who had invited him,“When you give a luncheon or a dinner, stop inviting onlyyour friends, brothers, relatives, or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return and you would be repaid.

isv@Luke:14:14 @ Then you will be blessed because they can't repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

isv@Luke:14:17 @ When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who were invited, ‘Come! Everything is now ready.’

isv@Luke:14:20 @ Still another said, ‘I recently got married, and that's why I can't come.’

isv@Luke:14:21 @ “So the servant went back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and told his servant, ‘Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring back the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

isv@Luke:14:22 @ The servant said, ‘Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

isv@Luke:14:23 @ Then the master told the servant, ‘Go out into the streets and the lanes and make the people come in, so that my house may be full.

isv@Luke:14:24 @ For I tell all of you,none of those men who were invited will taste anything at my banquet.’”

isv@Luke:14:25 @ Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus. He turned and said to them,

isv@Luke:14:26 @ “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as his own life, he can't be my disciple.

isv@Luke:14:34 @ “Now, salt is good. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can its flavor be restored?

isv@Luke:14:35 @ It is suitable neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. Peoplethrow it away. Let the person who has ears to hear, listen!”

isv@Luke:15:4 @ “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. He leaves the ninety-nine in the wilderness and looks for the one that is lost until he finds it, doesn't he?

isv@Luke:15:5 @ When he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders and rejoices.

isv@Luke:15:6 @ Then he goes home, calls his friends and neighbors together, and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

isv@Luke:15:7 @ In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.”

isv@Luke:15:8 @ “Or suppose a woman has ten coins and loses one of them.She lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches carefully until she finds it, doesn't she?

isv@Luke:15:9 @ When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I lost!’

isv@Luke:15:10 @ In the same way, I tell you that there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents.”

isv@Luke:15:12 @ The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So the fatherdivided his property between them.

isv@Luke:15:13 @ A few days later, the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country. There he wasted his possessions on wild living.

isv@Luke:15:14 @ After he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need.

isv@Luke:15:15 @ So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

isv@Luke:15:16 @ He would gladly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

isv@Luke:15:17 @ “Then he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father's hired men have more food than they can eat, and here I am starving to death!

isv@Luke:15:19 @ I don't deserve to be called your son anymore. Treat me like one of your hired men.”’

isv@Luke:15:20 @ “So he got up and went to his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son,threw his arms around him, and kissed him affectionately.

isv@Luke:15:21 @ Then his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heavenand you. I don't deserve to be called your son anymore.’

isv@Luke:15:29 @ But he answered his father, “Listen! All these years I've worked like a slave for you. I've never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you've never given me so much as a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends.

isv@Luke:15:31 @ “His fathersaid to him, ‘My child, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

isv@Luke:15:32 @ But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and has been found.’”

isv@Luke:16:2 @ So he called for him and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Give me a report about your management, because you can't be my manager any longer.’

isv@Luke:16:6 @ The man replied, ‘A hundred jars of olive oil.’ The manager told him, ‘Get your bill. Sit down quickly and write “fifty.”’

isv@Luke:16:7 @ Then he asked another debtor,‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred containers of wheat.’ The managertold him, ‘Get your bill and write “eighty.”’

isv@Luke:16:8 @ The master praised the dishonest manager for being so clever. For worldly peopleare more clever than enlightened peoplein dealing with their own generation.

isv@Luke:16:9 @ “I'm telling you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous riches,so that when they're gone you'll be welcomedinto eternal homes.

isv@Luke:16:12 @ And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to foreigners, who will give you what is your own?

isv@Luke:16:16 @ “The law and the Prophets were prophesyinguntil the time ofJohn. Since then, the good news about the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is trying to enter it by force.

isv@Luke:16:19 @ “Once there was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and live in great luxury every day.

isv@Luke:16:20 @ A beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores, was brought to his gate.

isv@Luke:16:21 @ He was always craving to satisfy his hunger with what fellfrom the rich man's table. In fact, even the dogs used to come and lick his sores.

isv@Luke:16:23 @ In Hades,where he was in constant torture, he looked up and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus by his side.

isv@Luke:16:24 @ So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and to cool off my tongue, because I am suffering in this fire.’

isv@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, ‘My child, remember that during your lifetime you received blessings,while Lazarus received hardships.But now he is being comforted here, while you suffer.

isv@Luke:16:28 @ for I have five brothers—to warn them, so that they won't end up in this place of torture, too.’

isv@Luke:16:30 @ But the rich manreplied, ‘No, father Abraham! Yet if someone from the dead went to them, they would repent.’

isv@Luke:17:2 @ It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.

isv@Luke:17:3 @ “Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

isv@Luke:17:4 @ Even if he sins against you seven times in a day and comes back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

isv@Luke:17:5 @ Then the apostles said to the Lord, “Give us more faith!”

isv@Luke:17:6 @ The Lord replied,“If you have faith the size of amustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you!

isv@Luke:17:8 @ Of course not. Instead, he would say to him, ‘Get dinner ready for me, and put on your apron and wait on me until I eat and drink. Then you can eat and drink.’

isv@Luke:17:10 @ That's the way it is with you. When you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless servants. We have done only what we ought to have done.’”

isv@Luke:17:14 @ When he saw them, he told them,“Go and show yourselves to the priests.” While they were going, they were made clean.

isv@Luke:17:17 @ Jesus asked,“Ten men were made clean, weren't they? Where are the other nine?

isv@Luke:17:18 @ Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”

isv@Luke:17:20 @ Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come. He answered them,“The kingdom of God is not coming with a visible display.

isv@Luke:17:21 @ Peoplewon't say, ‘Look! Here it is!’ or “There it is!’ For the kingdom of God is amongyou.”

isv@Luke:17:23 @ Peoplewill say to you, ‘Look! There he is!’ or ‘Look! Here he is!’ Don't go and chase after him.

isv@Luke:17:25 @ But first he must suffer a great deal and be rejected by this generation.

isv@Luke:17:27 @ Peoplewere eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed all of them.

isv@Luke:17:28 @ So it was in the days of Lot. Peoplewere eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

isv@Luke:17:29 @ But on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed all of them.

isv@Luke:17:30 @ The day when the Son of Man is revealed will be like that.

isv@Luke:17:32 @ Remember Lot's wife!

isv@Luke:17:33 @ Whoever tries to save his lifewill lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

isv@Luke:17:37 @ Then they asked him, “Where, Lord, will this take place?”He told them,“Wherever there's a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”

isv@Luke:18:2 @ He said,“In a city there was a judge who didn't fear God or respect people.

isv@Luke:18:3 @ In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’

isv@Luke:18:4 @ For a while the judgerefused. But later he said to himself, ‘I don't fear God or respect people.

isv@Luke:18:9 @ Jesus also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, but who looked down on everyone else:

isv@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘O God, I thank you that I'm not like other people—thieves, dishonest people, adulterers,or even this tax collector.

isv@Luke:18:12 @ I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of my entire income.’

isv@Luke:18:15 @ Now some people were even bringing their infants to Jesus to have him touch them. But when the disciples saw this, they sternly told the people not to do that.

isv@Luke:18:16 @ Jesus, however, called for them and said,“Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

isv@Luke:18:17 @ Truly I tell you, whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never get into it at all.”

isv@Luke:18:21 @ The official replied, “I have kept all of these since I was a young man.”

isv@Luke:18:22 @ When Jesus heard this, he said to him,“You still need one thing. Sell everything you have and give the moneyto the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me.”

isv@Luke:18:27 @ Jesus replied,“The things that are impossible for people are possible for God.”

isv@Luke:18:29 @ Jesus said to them,“Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left his home, wife, brothers, parents, or children because of the kingdom of God

isv@Luke:18:30 @ who will not receive many times as much in this world, as well as eternal life in the age to come.”

isv@Luke:18:31 @ Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them,“See, we are going up to Jerusalem. Everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

isv@Luke:18:35 @ As Jesus was approaching Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the road begging.

isv@Luke:18:37 @ They told him that Jesus from Nazareth was coming by.

isv@Luke:18:40 @ Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him,

isv@Luke:18:42 @ Jesus told him,“Receive your sight! Your faith has made you well.”

isv@Luke:19:1 @ As Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it,

isv@Luke:19:2 @ a man named Zacchaeus appeared. He was a leading tax collector, and a rich one at that!

isv@Luke:19:4 @ So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus, who was going to pass that way.

isv@Luke:19:5 @ When Jesus came to the tree, he looked up and said,“Zacchaeus, hurry and come down! I must stay at your house today.”

isv@Luke:19:11 @ As they were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem and because the people thought that the kingdom of God would appear immediately.

isv@Luke:19:12 @ So he said,“A prince went to a distant country to be appointed king and then to return.

isv@Luke:19:15 @ “After he was appointed king, he came back. He ordered the servants to whom he had given the money to be called so that he could find out what they had made by investing.

isv@Luke:19:16 @ The first servantcame and said, ‘Sir, your coin has earned ten more coins.’

isv@Luke:19:20 @ “Then the other servantcame and said, ‘Sir, look! Here's your coin. I've kept it in a cloth for safekeeping

isv@Luke:19:21 @ because I was afraid of you. You are a hard man. You withdraw what you didn't deposit and harvest what you didn't plant.’

isv@Luke:19:23 @ Then why didn't you put my money in the bank? When I returned, I could have collected it with interest.’

isv@Luke:19:25 @ They answered him, ‘Sir, he alreadyhas ten coins!’

isv@Luke:19:26 @ ‘I tell you, to everyone who has something, more will be given, but from the person who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.

isv@Luke:19:27 @ But as for these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!’”

isv@Luke:19:31 @ If anyone asks you why you are untying it, say this: ‘The Lord needs it.’”

isv@Luke:19:32 @ So those who were sent went off and found it as he had told them.

isv@Luke:19:33 @ While they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

isv@Luke:19:34 @ The disciples answered, “The Lord needs it.”

isv@Luke:19:36 @ As he was riding along, people kept spreading their coats on the road.

isv@Luke:19:37 @ He was now approaching the descent from the Mount of Olives. The whole crowd of disciples began to rejoice and to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen.

isv@Luke:19:40 @ He replied,“I tell you, if they were quiet, the stones would cry out!”

isv@Luke:19:44 @ They will level you to the ground—you and your children within you. They will not leave one stone on another within you, because you didn't recognize the time when God came to help you.”

isv@Luke:19:45 @ Then Jesus went into the temple and began to throw out those who were selling things.

isv@Luke:19:48 @ but they couldn't find a way to do it, because all the people were eager to hear him.

isv@Luke:20:2 @ and asked him, “Tell us: By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?”

isv@Luke:20:3 @ He answered them,“I, too, will ask you a question.Tell me:

isv@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, ‘From humans,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

isv@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered that they didn't know where it was from.

isv@Luke:20:10 @ At the right time he sent a servant to the farmers in order that they might give him his share of the produce of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him back empty-handed.

isv@Luke:20:11 @ He sent another servant, and they beat him, too, treated him shamefully, and sent him back empty-handed.

isv@Luke:20:12 @ Then he sent a third, and they wounded him and threw him out, too.

isv@Luke:20:13 @ “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I'll send my son whom I love. Maybe they'll respect him.’

isv@Luke:20:15 @ So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

isv@Luke:20:17 @ But Jesus R ‘The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone’?

isv@Luke:20:19 @ When the scribes and the high priests realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to lay their hands on him at that very hour, but they were afraid of the crowd.

isv@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched him closely and sent spies who pretended to be honest men in order to trap him in what he would say. They wanted to hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.

isv@Luke:20:21 @ So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you don't favor any individual, but teach the way of God truthfully.

isv@Luke:20:25 @ So he said to them,“Then give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”

isv@Luke:20:26 @ So they couldn't catch him before the people in what he said. Amazed at his answer, they became silent.

isv@Luke:20:27 @ Now some Sadducees, who claim there is no resurrection, came to Jesus

isv@Luke:20:28 @ and asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, the man should marry the widow and have children for his brother.

isv@Luke:20:29 @ Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died childless.

isv@Luke:20:31 @ and the third married her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children.

isv@Luke:20:33 @ Now in the resurrection, whose wife will the woman be, since the seven had married her?”

isv@Luke:20:34 @ Jesus said to them,“Those who belong to this age marry and are married,

isv@Luke:20:35 @ but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

isv@Luke:20:36 @ Nor can they die anymore, for they are like the angels and, since they share in the resurrection, are God's children.

isv@Luke:20:37 @ Even Moses demonstrated in the story about the bush that the dead are raised, when he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

isv@Luke:20:38 @ Heis not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all people are alive to him.”

isv@Luke:20:39 @ Then some of the scribes replied, “Teacher, you have given a fine answer.”

isv@Luke:20:40 @ For they no longer dared to ask him another question.

isv@Luke:20:45 @ While all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

isv@Luke:20:46 @ “Beware of the scribes! They like to walk around in long robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

isv@Luke:20:47 @ They devour widows’ housesand say long prayers to cover it up. They will receive greater condemnation!”

isv@Luke:21:3 @ He said,“Truly I tell you, this destitute widow has dropped in more than all of them.

isv@Luke:21:5 @ Now while some people were talking about the temple—how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God—he said,

isv@Luke:21:7 @ Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign that these things are about to take place?”

isv@Luke:21:8 @ He said,“Be careful that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he’ and ‘The time is near.’ Don't go after them.

isv@Luke:21:36 @ So be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man.”

isv@Luke:22:1 @ Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was near.

isv@Luke:22:2 @ So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, for they were afraid of the crowd.

isv@Luke:22:5 @ They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

isv@Luke:22:6 @ He accepted their offer and began to look for a good opportunity to betray him to them when no crowd was present.

isv@Luke:22:7 @ Then the day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

isv@Luke:22:8 @ So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying,“Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover meal.”

isv@Luke:22:9 @ They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”

isv@Luke:22:11 @ and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?”’

isv@Luke:22:12 @ Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished. Get things ready for us there.”

isv@Luke:22:13 @ So they went and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

isv@Luke:22:15 @ He said to them,“I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer.

isv@Luke:22:17 @ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said,“Take this and share it among yourselves.

isv@Luke:22:19 @ Then he took a loaf of bread, gave thanks, broke it in pieces, and handed it to them, saying,“This is my body, which is given for you. Keep on doing this in memory of me.”

isv@Luke:22:20 @ He did the same with the cup after supper, saying,“This cup is the new covenant in my blood, poured out for you.

isv@Luke:22:24 @ Now an argument sprang up among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

isv@Luke:22:25 @ But he said to them,“The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

isv@Luke:22:26 @ But you are not to do so. On the contrary, the greatest among you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads should become like the one who serves.

isv@Luke:22:27 @ For who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? It is the one at the table, isn't it? But I am among you as one who serves.

isv@Luke:22:28 @ “You are the ones who have always stood by me in my trials.

isv@Luke:22:29 @ And I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom,

isv@Luke:22:32 @ but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail. When you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.”

isv@Luke:22:33 @ Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go even to prison and to death with you!”

isv@Luke:22:34 @ But Jesus said,“I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know me.”

isv@Luke:22:35 @ Then he said to them,“When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?”They replied, “Nothing at all.”

isv@Luke:22:38 @ So they said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords.”He answered them,“Enough of that!”

isv@Luke:22:41 @ Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray,

isv@Luke:22:42 @ “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done.”

isv@Luke:22:43 @ Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength.

isv@Luke:22:44 @ In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like large drops of blood falling on the ground.

isv@Luke:22:46 @ He said to them,“Why are you sleeping? Get up and keep on praying that you may not come into temptation.”

isv@Luke:22:48 @ But Jesus said to him,“Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

isv@Luke:22:49 @ When those who were around him saw what was about to take place, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

isv@Luke:22:51 @ But Jesus said,“No more of this!” So he touched his ear and healed him.

isv@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the high priests, the temple police, and the elders, who had come for him,“Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit?

isv@Luke:22:53 @ While I was with you day after day in the temple, you didn't lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, when darkness reigns!”

isv@Luke:22:54 @ Then they arrested him, led him away, and brought him to the high priest's house. But Peter was following at a distance.

isv@Luke:22:55 @ When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had taken their seats, Peter, too, sat down among them.

isv@Luke:22:56 @ A servant girl saw him sitting by the fire, stared at him, and said, “This man was with him, too.”

isv@Luke:22:58 @ A little later a man looked at him and said, “You are one of them, too.”But Peter said, “Mister, I am not!”

isv@Luke:22:60 @ But Peter said, “Mister, I don't know what you're talking about!” Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

isv@Luke:22:61 @ Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord and how he had said to him,“Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”

isv@Luke:22:63 @ Then the men who were holding Jesus in custody began to make fun of him while they beat him.

isv@Luke:22:66 @ As soon as day came, the elders of the people, the high priests, and the scribes assembled and brought him before their Council.

isv@Luke:22:67 @ They said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.”But he said to them,“If I tell you, you won't believe me,

isv@Luke:22:70 @ Then they all asked, “Are you, then, the Son of God?”He answered them,“You say that I am.”

isv@Luke:22:71 @ Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own mouth!”

isv@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”He answered him,“You say so.”

isv@Luke:23:11 @ Even Herod and his soldiers treated him with contempt and made fun of him. Then he put a magnificent robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.

isv@Luke:23:12 @ So Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day. Before this they had been enemies.

isv@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one who turns the people against the government. And here in your presence I have examined him and have found him “Not Guilty” of the charges you make against him.

isv@Luke:23:17 @ Now he was obligated to release someone for them at the festival.

isv@Luke:23:18 @ But they all shouted out together, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas for us!”

isv@Luke:23:19 @ (This was a man who had been put in prison for a revolt that had taken place in the city and for murder.)

isv@Luke:23:23 @ But they kept pressing him with loud shouts, demanding that Jesus be crucified, and their shouts began to prevail.

isv@Luke:23:25 @ So he released the man who had been put in prison for revolt and murder—the man they continued to demand—but he let them have their way with Jesus.

isv@Luke:23:26 @ As they led him away, they took hold of Simon, a man from Cyrene, as he was coming in from the country, and they put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.

isv@Luke:23:27 @ A large crowd of people followed him, including some women who kept beating their breasts and wailing for him.

isv@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus turned to them and said,“Womenof Jerusalem, stop crying for me, but cry for yourselves and for your children.

isv@Luke:23:29 @ For the days are surely coming when peoplewill say, ‘How blessed are the women who couldn't bear children and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’

isv@Luke:23:31 @ For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

isv@Luke:23:32 @ Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with him.

isv@Luke:23:33 @ When they reached the place called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

isv@Luke:23:34 @ Jesus kept saying,“Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing.” Then they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.

isv@Luke:23:35 @ Meanwhile, the people stood looking on. Even the leaders were mocking him and saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, whom he has chosen!”

isv@Luke:23:37 @ and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!”

isv@Luke:23:38 @ There was also an inscription over him written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “This is the King of the Jews.”

isv@Luke:23:39 @ Now one of the criminals hanging there kept insulting him, saying, “You are the Christ, aren't you? Save yourself and us!”

isv@Luke:23:40 @ But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Aren't you afraid of God, since you are suffering the same penalty?

isv@Luke:23:41 @ We have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

isv@Luke:23:42 @ Then he went on to say, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!”

isv@Luke:23:44 @ It was already about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon

isv@Luke:23:46 @ Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said,“Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” After he said this, he breathed his last.

isv@Luke:23:48 @ When all the crowds who had come together for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts and turned back.

isv@Luke:23:49 @ But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance watching these things.

isv@Luke:23:50 @ Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and righteous man—

isv@Luke:23:54 @ It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was just beginning.

isv@Luke:23:56 @ Then they went back and prepared spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

isv@Luke:24:1 @ But on the first day of the week at early dawn they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.

isv@Luke:24:4 @ While they were puzzling over this, two men in dazzling robes suddenly stood beside them.

isv@Luke:24:5 @ Because the women were terrified and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men asked them, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is living?

isv@Luke:24:6 @ He is not here but has been raised. Remember what he told you while he was still in Galilee,

isv@Luke:24:8 @ Then they remembered his words.

isv@Luke:24:9 @ They returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and all the others.

isv@Luke:24:10 @ The women who told the apostles about it were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some others.

isv@Luke:24:13 @ On the same day, two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:24:14 @ They were talking with each other about all these things that had taken place.

isv@Luke:24:15 @ While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself approached and began to walk with them,

isv@Luke:24:16 @ but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.

isv@Luke:24:17 @ He asked them,“What are you discussing with each other as you're walking along?” They stood still and looked gloomy.

isv@Luke:24:18 @ The one whose name was Cleopas answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn't know what happened there these days?”

isv@Luke:24:19 @ He asked them,“What things?”They answered him, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in the things that he did and said before God and all the people,

isv@Luke:24:21 @ But we kept hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel. What is more, this is now the third day since these things occurred.

isv@Luke:24:22 @ Even some of our women have startled us! They were at the tomb early this morning

isv@Luke:24:23 @ and didn't find his body there, so they came back and told us that they had actually seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.

isv@Luke:24:24 @ Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn't see him.”

isv@Luke:24:25 @ Then Jesus said to them,“O how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe everything the prophets said!

isv@Luke:24:27 @ Then, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them all the passages of Scripture about himself.

isv@Luke:24:28 @ As they came near the village where they were going, he acted as though he were going on farther.

isv@Luke:24:30 @ While he was at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it in pieces, and gave it to them.

isv@Luke:24:31 @ Then their eyes were opened, and they knew who he was. And he vanished from them.

isv@Luke:24:32 @ Then they said to each other, “Our hearts kept burning within us as he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn't they?”

isv@Luke:24:34 @ They kept saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon!”

isv@Luke:24:35 @ Then they themselves began to tell what had happened on the road and how he was recognized by them when he broke the bread in pieces.

isv@Luke:24:36 @ While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,“Peace be with you.”

isv@Luke:24:37 @ They were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.

isv@Luke:24:38 @ He said to them,“Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your hearts?

isv@Luke:24:41 @ While they still could not believe it for joy and were full of amazement, he said to them,“Do you have anything here to eat?”

isv@Luke:24:43 @ and he took it and ate it in their presence.

isv@Luke:24:44 @ Then he said to them,“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to be fulfilled.”

isv@Luke:24:45 @ Then he opened their minds so that they might come to understand the Scriptures.

isv@Luke:24:47 @ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:24:48 @ You are witnesses of these things.

isv@Luke:24:49 @ I am sending on you what my Father promised. But stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

isv@Luke:24:52 @ They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

isv@Luke:24:53 @ And they were continually in the temple blessing God.

isv@John:1:3 @ Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.

isv@John:1:6 @ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

isv@John:1:10 @ He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.

isv@John:1:11 @ He came to his own creation, yet his own people did not receive him.

isv@John:1:12 @ However, to all who received him, to those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God's children,

isv@John:1:13 @ who were born, not merely in a physical sense, or from a fleshly impulse, or from man's desire, but of God.

isv@John:1:15 @ John told the truth about him when he cried out, “This is the person about whom I said, ‘The one who comes after me ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”

isv@John:1:16 @ From his fullness we have all received one gracious gift after another.

isv@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God. The unique God, who is close to the Father's side, has revealed him.

isv@John:1:19 @ This was John's testimony when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

isv@John:1:21 @ So they asked him, “Well then, are you Elijah?”He said, “I am not.”“Are you the Prophet?”He answered, “No.”

isv@John:1:22 @ Then they said to him, “Who are you? We must give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

isv@John:1:23 @ He replied, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,‘Make the way of the Lord straight,’”as the prophet Isaiah said.

isv@John:1:25 @ They asked him, “Why, then, are you baptizing if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?”

isv@John:1:26 @ John answered them, “I am baptizing with water, but among you stands a man whom you do not know,

isv@John:1:28 @ This happened in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

isv@John:1:30 @ This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’

isv@John:1:31 @ I didn't recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel.”

isv@John:1:32 @ John also testified, “I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.

isv@John:1:33 @ I didn't recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The person on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

isv@John:1:35 @ The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples.

isv@John:1:38 @ But when Jesus turned around and saw them following, he said to them,“What are you looking for?”They said to him, “Rabbi,” (which is translated “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

isv@John:1:39 @ He told them,“Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

isv@John:1:40 @ Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.

isv@John:1:41 @ Andrew first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated “Christ”).

isv@John:1:42 @ He led Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him intently and said,“You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated “Peter”).

isv@John:1:44 @ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.

isv@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathaniel and told him, “We have found the man about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote—Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”

isv@John:1:46 @ Nathaniel said to him, “Out of Nazareth? What good can that be?”Philip told him, “Come and see!”

isv@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said about him,“Look, a true Israelite, in whom there is no falsehood!”

isv@John:1:48 @ Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?”Jesus answered him,“Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

isv@John:1:49 @ Nathaniel replied to him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

isv@John:1:50 @ Jesus said to him,“Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that.”

isv@John:2:1 @ On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there,

isv@John:2:6 @ Now standing there were six stone water jars used for the Jewish rites of purification, each one holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

isv@John:2:9 @ When the man in charge of the banquet tasted the water that had become wine (without knowing where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called for the bridegroom

isv@John:2:10 @ and said to him, “Everyone serves the best wine first, and the cheap kind when people are drunk. But you have kept the best wine until now!”

isv@John:2:11 @ Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

isv@John:2:12 @ After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum—he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples—and they remained there for a few days.

isv@John:2:15 @ Making a whip out of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, including the sheep and the cattle. He scattered the coins of the moneychangers and knocked over their tables.

isv@John:2:16 @ Then he told those who were selling the doves,“Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!”

isv@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

isv@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered them,“Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will rebuild it.”

isv@John:2:20 @ The Jews said, “This sanctuary has been under construction for forty-six years, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?”

isv@John:2:22 @ After he had been raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scripture and the statement that Jesus had made.

isv@John:2:25 @ and didn't need anyone to tell him what people were like. For he himself knew what was in every person.

isv@John:3:1 @ Now there was a man from the Pharisees, a leader of the Jews, whose name was Nicodemus.

isv@John:3:2 @ He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, for no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.”

isv@John:3:3 @ Jesus replied to him,“Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born from abovehe cannot see the kingdom of God.”

isv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered,“Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

isv@John:3:8 @ The windblows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. That's the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

isv@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered him,“You're the teacher of Israel, and you can't understand this?

isv@John:3:11 @ Truly, truly I tell you, we know what we're talking about, and we testify about what we've seen. Yet you peopledo not accept our testimony.

isv@John:3:18 @ Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's unique Son.

isv@John:3:19 @ And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.

isv@John:3:22 @ After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside. He spent some time there with them and began baptizing.

isv@John:3:23 @ John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People kept coming and were being baptized,

isv@John:3:26 @ They went to John and told him, “Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one about whom you testified—look, he's baptizing, and all are going to him!”

isv@John:3:27 @ John replied, “No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.

isv@John:3:28 @ You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of him.’

isv@John:3:29 @ It is the bridegroom who gets the bride, yet the bridegroom's friend, who merely stands by and listens for him, is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom's voice. That's why this joy of mine is now complete.

isv@John:3:30 @ He must become more important, but I must become less important.”

isv@John:3:34 @ For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God, because God does not give the Spirit in limited measure.

isv@John:3:36 @ The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

isv@John:4:1 @ Now when Jesus realized that the Pharisees had heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John—

isv@John:4:6 @ Jacob's Well was also there, and Jesus, tired out by the journey, sat down by the well. It was about twelve noon.

isv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her,“If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Please give me a drink,’ you would have been the one to ask him, and he would have given you living water.”

isv@John:4:11 @ The woman said to him, “Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this living water?

isv@John:4:12 @ You're not greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it, along with his sons and his flocks, are you?”

isv@John:4:13 @ Jesus answered her,“Everyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again.

isv@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I won't get thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”

isv@John:4:16 @ He said to her,“Go and call your husband, and come back here.”

isv@John:4:17 @ The woman answered him, “I don't have a husband.”Jesus said to her,“You are quite right in saying, ‘I don't have a husband.’

isv@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet!

isv@John:4:20 @ Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain. But you Jews say that the place where people should worship is in Jerusalem.”

isv@John:4:22 @ You don't know what you're worshiping. We know what we're worshiping, for salvation comes from the Jews.

isv@John:4:23 @ Yet the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spiritand truth. Indeed, the Father is looking for people like that to worship him.

isv@John:4:27 @ At this point his disciples arrived, and they were amazed that he was talking to a woman. Yet no one said, “What do you want from her?” or, “Why are you talking to her?”

isv@John:4:31 @ Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, have something to eat.”

isv@John:4:35 @ You say, don't you, ‘In four more months the harvest will be here?’ Look, I tell you, open your eyes and observe that the fields are readyfor harvesting!

isv@John:4:36 @ The one who harvests is already receiving his wages and gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who harvests may rejoice together.

isv@John:4:37 @ For in this respect the saying is true: ‘One person sows, and another person harvests.’

isv@John:4:38 @ I have sent you to harvest what you have not labored for. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

isv@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there for two days.

isv@John:4:41 @ And many more believed because of his word.

isv@John:4:42 @ They kept telling the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world.”

isv@John:4:46 @ So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Meanwhile, in Capernaum there was a government official whose son was ill.

isv@John:4:47 @ When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him repeatedly to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

isv@John:4:49 @ The official said to him, “Sir, please come down before my little boy dies.”

isv@John:4:52 @ So he asked them at what hour he had begun to recover, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon.”

isv@John:4:53 @ Then the father realized that this was the very hour when Jesus had told him,“Your son will live.” And he himself believed, along with his whole family.

isv@John:5:1 @ Later on, there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

isv@John:5:2 @ Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem is a pool called Bethesda in Hebrew. It has five colonnades,

isv@John:5:3 @ and under these a large number of sick people were lying—blind, lame, or paralyzed—waiting for the movement of the water.

isv@John:5:5 @ One particular man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

isv@John:5:6 @ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him,“Do you want to get well?”

isv@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I don't have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I'm trying to get there, someone else steps down ahead of me.”

isv@John:5:11 @ But he answered them, “The man who made me well told me,‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

isv@John:5:17 @ But Jesus answered them,“My Father has been working until now, and I, too, am working.”

isv@John:5:18 @ So the Jews were trying all the harder to kill him, because he was not only breaking the Sabbath but was also calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal to God.

isv@John:5:20 @ For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. And he will show him even greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.

isv@John:5:25 @ Truly, truly I tell you, the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.

isv@John:5:28 @ Don't be amazed at this, because the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice

isv@John:5:29 @ and will come out—those who have done what is good to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced what is evil to the resurrection of condemnation.

isv@John:5:32 @ There is another who testifies about me, and I knowthat the testimony he gives about me is true.

isv@John:5:35 @ That man was a lamp that burns and brightly shines, and for a while you were willing to rejoice in his light.

isv@John:5:36 @ But I have a greater testimony than John's, for the works that the Father has given me to complete, the very works that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.

isv@John:5:37 @ Moreover, the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his appearance,

isv@John:5:39 @ You examine the Scriptures carefully because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about me.

isv@John:5:40 @ But you are not willing to come to me to have life.

isv@John:5:45 @ Do not suppose that I will be the one to accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

isv@John:6:3 @ But Jesus went up on a hillside and sat down there with his disciples.

isv@John:6:5 @ When Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward him, he said to Philip,“Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”

isv@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for each of them to get a little.”

isv@John:6:8 @ One of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

isv@John:6:9 @ “There's a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish. But what are they among so many people?”

isv@John:6:10 @ Jesus said,“Have the people sit down.” Now there was plenty of grass in that place. So the men sat down, numbering about 5,000.

isv@John:6:11 @ Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were seated. He also distributed the fish, as much as they wanted.

isv@John:6:12 @ When they were completely satisfied, he told his disciples,“Collect the pieces that are left over so that nothing is lost.”

isv@John:6:15 @ Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the hillside by himself.

isv@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already fallen, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

isv@John:6:19 @ They had rowed about three or four miles when they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat. They became terrified.

isv@John:6:21 @ So they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.

isv@John:6:22 @ The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea noticed that only one boat had been there, and no other, and that Jesus had not gotten into that boat with his disciples. Instead, his disciples had gone away by themselves.

isv@John:6:23 @ Other small boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

isv@John:6:24 @ When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

isv@John:6:25 @ When they had found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

isv@John:6:26 @ Jesus replied to them,“Truly, truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate the loaves and were completely satisfied.

isv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them,“This is the work of God: to believe in the one whom he has sent.”

isv@John:6:30 @ So they said to him, “What sign are you going to do so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you performing?

isv@John:6:31 @ Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

isv@John:6:32 @ Jesus said to them,“Truly, truly I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

isv@John:6:33 @ For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

isv@John:6:34 @ Then they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time.”

isv@John:6:35 @ Jesus said to them,“I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never become hungry, and the one who believes in me will never become thirsty.

isv@John:6:41 @ Then the Jews began grumbling about him because he said,“I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

isv@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered them,“Stop grumbling among yourselves.

isv@John:6:48 @ I am the bread of life.

isv@John:6:50 @ This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die.

isv@John:6:51 @ I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. And the bread I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

isv@John:6:55 @ For my flesh is realfood, and my blood is realdrink.

isv@John:6:56 @ The person who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

isv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread that came down from heaven, not the kind that your ancestors ate. They died, but the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

isv@John:6:61 @ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them,“Does this offend you?

isv@John:6:62 @ What if you saw the Son of Man going up to the place where he was before?

isv@John:6:63 @ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

isv@John:6:64 @ But there are some among you who do not believe.” For from the beginning Jesus knew those who wouldn't believe, as well as the one who would betray him.

isv@John:6:66 @ As a result, many of his disciples turned back and no longer associated with him.

isv@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

isv@John:6:69 @ Besides, we have believed and remain convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

isv@John:6:70 @ Jesus answered them,“I chose you twelve, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil.”

isv@John:7:1 @ After this, Jesus traveled about in Galilee, for he didn't want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill him.

isv@John:7:3 @ So his brothers said to him, “You should leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples can see the works that you're doing.

isv@John:7:4 @ For no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!”

isv@John:7:6 @ Jesus told them,“My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.

isv@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its works are evil.

isv@John:7:9 @ After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

isv@John:7:10 @ But after his brothers had gone up to the festival, he went up himself, not openly but, as it were, in secret.

isv@John:7:11 @ The Jews kept looking for him at the festival, saying, “Where is that man?”

isv@John:7:12 @ And there was a great deal of discussion about him among the crowds.Some were saying, “He is a good man,” while others were saying, “No, he is deceiving the crowd!”

isv@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished and remarked, “How can this man be so educated when he has never gone to school?”

isv@John:7:16 @ Jesus replied to them,“My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me.

isv@John:7:18 @ The one who speaks on his own seeks his own praise. But the one who seeks the praise of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him.

isv@John:7:19 @ Moses gave you the law, didn't he? Yet none of you is keeping the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

isv@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is trying to kill you?”

isv@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered them,“I performed one work, and all of you are astonished.

isv@John:7:23 @ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

isv@John:7:25 @ Then some of the people of Jerusalem began saying, “This is the man they are trying to kill, isn't it?

isv@John:7:26 @ And look, he is speaking in public, and they are not saying anything to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?

isv@John:7:27 @ We know where this man comes from. But when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

isv@John:7:28 @ At this point Jesus, still teaching in the temple, shouted,“So you know me and know where I have come from? I have not come on my own accord. But the one who sent me is true, and he is the one you do not know.

isv@John:7:31 @ However, many in the crowd believed in him, saying, “When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than this man has done, will he?”

isv@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd debating these things about him, so the high priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

isv@John:7:34 @ You will look for me but will not find me.And where I am, you cannot come.”

isv@John:7:35 @ Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go so that we will not find him? Surely he's not going to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

isv@John:7:36 @ What does this statement mean that he made,‘You will look for me but will not find me,’ and‘Where I will be, you cannot come’?”

isv@John:7:38 @ The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart.”

isv@John:7:39 @ Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who were believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet present, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

isv@John:7:40 @ When they heard these words, some in the crowd were saying, “This really is the Prophet,”

isv@John:7:41 @ while others were saying, “This is the Christ!”But some were saying, “The Christ doesn't come from Galilee, does he?

isv@John:7:42 @ Doesn't the Scripture say that the Christ is from David's family and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

isv@John:7:43 @ So there was a division in the crowd because of him.

isv@John:7:44 @ Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.

isv@John:7:45 @ Then the officers returned to the high priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why didn't you bring him?”

isv@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like that!”

isv@John:7:47 @ Then the Pharisees replied to them, “You haven't been deceived, too, have you?

isv@John:7:49 @ But this mob that does not know the law—they are accursed!”

isv@John:7:50 @ One of their number, Nicodemus (the man who had previously gone to him), said to them,

isv@John:7:51 @ “Surely our law does not condemn a person without first hearing from him and finding out what he is doing, does it?”

isv@John:7:52 @ They answered him, “You aren't from Galilee, too, are you? Search and see that no prophet comes from Galilee.”

isv@John:8:2 @ At daybreak he appeared again in the temple, and all the people came to him. So he sat down and began to teach them.

isv@John:8:3 @ But the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery. After setting her before them,

isv@John:8:9 @ When they heard this, they went away one by one, beginning with the oldest, and he was left alone with the woman standing there.

isv@John:8:10 @ Then Jesus stood up and said to her,“Woman, where are your accusers?Hasn't anyone condemned you?”

isv@John:8:11 @ She said, “No one, sir.”Then Jesus said,“I don't condemn you either. Go home, and from now on do not sin any more.”

isv@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees said to him, “You are testifying about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

isv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered them,“Even though I am testifying about myself, my testimony is validbecause I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

isv@John:8:15 @ You are judging by human standards,but I am not judging anyone.

isv@John:8:19 @ Then they said to him, “Where is this Father of yours?”Jesus replied,“You do not know me or my Father. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”

isv@John:8:20 @ He spoke these words in the treasury, while he was teaching in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

isv@John:8:21 @ Later on he said to them again,“I am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot come where I am going.”

isv@John:8:22 @ So the Jews said, “He isn't going to kill himself, is he? Is that why he said,‘You cannot come where I am going’?”

isv@John:8:23 @ He said to them,“You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, but I am not of this world.

isv@John:8:25 @ Then they said to him, “Who are you?”Jesus told them,“What have I been telling you all along?

isv@John:8:26 @ I have much to say about you and to condemn you for.But the one who sent me is truthful,and what I have heard from him I declare to the world.”

isv@John:8:27 @ They didn't realize that he was talking to them about the Father.

isv@John:8:29 @ Moreover, the one who sent me is with me. He has never left me alone because I always do what pleases him.”

isv@John:8:31 @ So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in him,“If you continue in my word, you are really my disciples.

isv@John:8:32 @ And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

isv@John:8:33 @ They replied to him, “We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves to anybody. So how can you say,‘You will be set free’?”

isv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them,“Truly, truly I tell you that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

isv@John:8:35 @ The slave does not remain in the household forever, but the son does remain forever.

isv@John:8:36 @ So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!”

isv@John:8:37 @ “I know that you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me because my word finds no reception among you.

isv@John:8:38 @ I declare what I have seen in myFather's presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.”

isv@John:8:39 @ They replied to him, “Our father is Abraham!”Jesus said to them,“If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did.

isv@John:8:40 @ But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would not have done that.

isv@John:8:41 @ You are doing your father's works.”They said to him, “We are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, God himself.”

isv@John:8:42 @ Jesus told them,“If God were your Father, you would have loved me, because I came from God and am here. For I have not come on my own accord, but he sent me.

isv@John:8:44 @ You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood by the truth,since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie he speaks in character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

isv@John:8:47 @ The one who belongs to God listens to the words of God. The reason you do not listen is because you do not belong to God.”

isv@John:8:48 @ The Jews replied to him, “Surely we are right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon, aren't we?”

isv@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered,“I don't have a demon. On the contrary, I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

isv@John:8:50 @ I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks it, and he is the Judge.

isv@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to him, “Now we really know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say,‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death at all.’

isv@John:8:53 @ You aren't greater than our father Abraham, who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who are you making yourself out to be?”

isv@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered,“If I were trying to glorify myself, my glory would mean nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

isv@John:8:55 @ You don't know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I don't know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him and keep his word.

isv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”

isv@John:8:57 @ Then the Jews said to him, “You are not even fifty years old, yet you have seen Abraham?”

isv@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them,“Truly, truly I tell you, before there was an Abraham, I am!”

isv@John:9:2 @ His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?”

isv@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered,“Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so thatthe works of God might be revealed in him.

isv@John:9:6 @ After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he spread the mud on the man's eyes

isv@John:9:8 @ Then the neighbors and those who had previously seen him as a beggar said, “This is the man who used to sit and beg, isn't it?”

isv@John:9:9 @ Some were saying, “It is he,” while others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.”He himself kept saying, “It is I!”

isv@John:9:10 @ So they said to him, “How, then, were your eyes opened?”

isv@John:9:11 @ He said, “The man named Jesus made some mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me,‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So off I went and washed, and I received my sight.”

isv@John:9:12 @ They said to him, “Where is that man?”He said, “I don't know!”

isv@John:9:15 @ So the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He told them, “He put mud on my eyes, then I washed, and now I can see.”

isv@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees began to remark, “This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath.”But others were saying, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

isv@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had been given sight until they summoned his parents

isv@John:9:20 @ His parents replied, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

isv@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ would be thrown out of the synagogue.

isv@John:9:23 @ That's why his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

isv@John:9:25 @ But he responded, “I don't know whether he is a sinner or not. The one thing I do know is that I used to be blind and now I can see!”

isv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, “I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?”

isv@John:9:28 @ At this, they turned on him furiously and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!

isv@John:9:29 @ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from.”

isv@John:9:30 @ The man answered them, “This is an amazing thing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

isv@John:9:32 @ Never since creation has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man who was born blind.

isv@John:9:33 @ If this man were not from God, he couldn't do anything like that.”

isv@John:9:34 @ They said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you are trying to instruct us?” And they threw him out.

isv@John:9:36 @ He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.”

isv@John:9:39 @ Then Jesus said,“I have come into this world for judgment, so that those who are blind may see, and those who see may become blind.”

isv@John:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees who were near him overheard this and said to him, “We aren't blind, too, are we?”

isv@John:9:41 @ Jesus told them,“If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.”

isv@John:10:4 @ When he has driven out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

isv@John:10:5 @ They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.”

isv@John:10:8 @ All who came before meare thieves and bandits, but the sheep did not listen to them.

isv@John:10:9 @ I am the gate. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

isv@John:10:12 @ The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, deserts the sheep, and runs away. So the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

isv@John:10:13 @ For he is a hired hand, and the sheep do not matter to him.

isv@John:10:16 @ I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.

isv@John:10:18 @ No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is a command that I have received from my Father.”

isv@John:10:19 @ Once again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.

isv@John:10:20 @ Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why bother listening to him?”

isv@John:10:21 @ Others were saying, “These are not the words of a man who is demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can it?”

isv@John:10:24 @ So the Jews surrounded him and said to him, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly.”

isv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them,“I have told you, but you do not believe it. The works that I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf,

isv@John:10:29 @ What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it from the Father's hand.

isv@John:10:30 @ I and the Father are one.”

isv@John:10:32 @ Jesus replied to them,“I have shown you many good works from myFather. For which of them are you going to stone me?”

isv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone you for a good work but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God!”

isv@John:10:34 @ Jesus replied to them,“Is it not written in yourlaw, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?

isv@John:10:35 @ If he called those to whom the word of God came ‘gods’ (and the Scripture cannot be set aside),

isv@John:10:36 @ how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

isv@John:10:40 @ Then he went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and he remained there.

isv@John:10:41 @ Many people came to him and kept saying, “John never performed a sign, but all the things that John said about this man were true!”

isv@John:10:42 @ And many believed in him there.

isv@John:11:6 @ Yet, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed where he was for two days.

isv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?”

isv@John:11:9 @ Jesus replied,“There are twelve hours in the day, aren't there? If anyone walks during the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

isv@John:11:11 @ These were the things he said. Then after this he told them,“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am leaving to wake him up.”

isv@John:11:13 @ Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about resting or sleeping.

isv@John:11:15 @ For your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let's go to him.”

isv@John:11:17 @ When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

isv@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

isv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”

isv@John:11:25 @ Jesus said to her,“I am the resurrection and the life.The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live.

isv@John:11:27 @ She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world.”

isv@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you!”

isv@John:11:30 @ Now Jesus had not yet arrived at the village but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

isv@John:11:31 @ When the Jews who had been with her, consoling her in the house, saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her, thinking that she had gone to the tomb to cry there.

isv@John:11:32 @ As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

isv@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, he was greatly troubled in spirit and deeply moved.

isv@John:11:34 @ He said,“Where have you put him?”They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”

isv@John:11:37 @ But some of them said, “Surely the one who opened the eyes of the blind man could have kept this man from dying, couldn't he?”

isv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said,“Remove the stone.”Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, “Lord, there must be a stench by now, because he's been dead for four days.”

isv@John:11:41 @ So they removed the stone.Then Jesus looked upward and said,“Father, I thank you for hearing me.

isv@John:11:42 @ I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.”

isv@John:11:47 @ So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, “What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs.

isv@John:11:50 @ You don't realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed.”

isv@John:11:52 @ and not only for the nation, but that he would also gather into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

isv@John:11:53 @ So from that day on they resolved to put him to death.

isv@John:11:54 @ As a result, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Instead, he went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness. There he remained with his disciples.

isv@John:11:55 @ Now the Jewish Passover was approaching, and before the Passover many people from the countryside went up to Jerusalem to purify themselves.

isv@John:11:56 @ They kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? Surely he won't come to the festival, will he?”

isv@John:11:57 @ Now the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that whoever knew where he was should tell them so that they could arrest him.

isv@John:12:1 @ Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany, where Lazarus lived, the man whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

isv@John:12:2 @ There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.

isv@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of very expensive perfume made of pure nard and anointed Jesus’ feet. She wiped his feet with her hair, and the house became filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

isv@John:12:6 @ He said this, not because he cared about the destitute, but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the moneybag and would steal what was put into it.

isv@John:12:9 @ When the large crowd of Jews realized that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

isv@John:12:11 @ since he was the reason why so many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

isv@John:12:13 @ So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comesin the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”

isv@John:12:16 @ At first his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him.

isv@John:12:19 @ Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!”

isv@John:12:20 @ Now some Greeks were among those who had come up to worship at the festival.

isv@John:12:22 @ Philip went and told Andrew, and Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

isv@John:12:24 @ Truly, truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces a lot of grain.

isv@John:12:25 @ The one who loves his life will destroy it, and the one who hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

isv@John:12:26 @ If anyone serves me, he must follow me. And where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.”

isv@John:12:27 @ “Now my soul is in turmoil, and what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No! It was for this very reason that I came to this hour.

isv@John:12:29 @ The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to him.”

isv@John:12:30 @ Jesus replied, “This voice has come for your benefit, not for mine.

isv@John:12:34 @ Then the crowd answered him, “We have learned from the law that the Christ remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

isv@John:12:35 @ Jesus said to them,“The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is going.

isv@John:12:36 @ As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.” After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

isv@John:12:37 @ Although he had performed numerous signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,

isv@John:12:38 @ so that the word that the prophet Isaiah spoke might be fulfilled when he said: “Lord, who has believed our message,and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

isv@John:12:39 @ For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah also said,

isv@John:12:43 @ For they loved the praise of people more than the praise of God.

isv@John:12:46 @ I have come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.

isv@John:12:48 @ The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

isv@John:12:50 @ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”

isv@John:13:1 @ Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

isv@John:13:2 @ By supper time, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him.

isv@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was returning to God,

isv@John:13:4 @ got up from the table, removed his outer robe, and took a towel and fastened it around his waist.

isv@John:13:5 @ Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel that was tied around his waist.

isv@John:13:6 @ Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

isv@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him,“You do not realize now what I am doing, but later on you will understand.”

isv@John:13:8 @ Peter said to him, “You must never wash my feet!”Jesus answered him,“Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

isv@John:13:10 @ Jesus told him,“The person who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is entirely clean. And you menare clean, though not all of you.”

isv@John:13:11 @ For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said,“Not all of you are clean.”

isv@John:13:12 @ When he had washed their feet and put on his outer robe, he sat down again and said to them,“Do you realize what I have done to you?

isv@John:13:13 @ You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right because that is what I am.

isv@John:13:16 @ Truly, truly I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.

isv@John:13:17 @ If you understand these things, how blessed you are if you put them into practice!

isv@John:13:18 @ I'm not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: ‘The one who ate bread with mehas lifted up his heel againstme.’

isv@John:13:19 @ I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he.

isv@John:13:20 @ Truly, truly I tell you, the one who receives whomever I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.”

isv@John:13:21 @ After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled in spirit and declared solemnly,“Truly, truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me!”

isv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered,“He is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish.”Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

isv@John:13:27 @ After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him,“Do quickly what you are going to do!”

isv@John:13:30 @ So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went outside. And it was night.

isv@John:13:33 @ Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but what I told the JewsI now tell you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

isv@John:13:35 @ This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

isv@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?”Jesus answered him,“I am going where you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later on.”

isv@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered him,“Would you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I tell you, a rooster will certainly not crow until you have denied me three times.”

isv@John:14:2 @ There are many rooms in my Father's house. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going away to prepare a place for you?

isv@John:14:3 @ And if I am going away to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am.

isv@John:14:4 @ You know where I am going, and you know the way.”

isv@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

isv@John:14:12 @ “Truly, truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater works than these because I am going to the Father.

isv@John:14:17 @ He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, for it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, for he abides with you and will be inyou.

isv@John:14:20 @ On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you.

isv@John:14:21 @ The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him.”

isv@John:14:22 @ Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

isv@John:14:23 @ Jesus answered him,“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. Then my Father will love him, and we will go to him and make our home within him.

isv@John:14:26 @ But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of all that I have told you.

isv@John:14:28 @ You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, but I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am.

isv@John:14:29 @ I have told you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.

isv@John:15:2 @ He removes every branch in me that does not produce fruit, and he cleanses every branch that does produce fruit so that it might produce more fruit.

isv@John:15:3 @ You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

isv@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in me while I abide in himproduces much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

isv@John:15:6 @ Unless a person abides in me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up. People gather such branchesand throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

isv@John:15:13 @ No one showsgreater love than when he lays down his life for his friends.

isv@John:15:14 @ You are my friends if you do what I command you.

isv@John:15:15 @ I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.

isv@John:15:18 @ “If the world hates you, you should realize that it hated me before you.

isv@John:15:20 @ Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

isv@John:15:25 @ But this happened so thatthe word written in their law might be fulfilled: ‘They hated me for no reason.’

isv@John:16:4 @ But I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you this in the beginning, because I was with you.”

isv@John:16:5 @ “But now I am going to the one who sent me. Yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

isv@John:16:13 @ Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own accord, but will speak whatever he hears and will declare to you the things that are to come.

isv@John:16:14 @ He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

isv@John:16:15 @ All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said, ‘He will take what is mine and declare it to you.’

isv@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him a question, so he said to them,“Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again’?

isv@John:16:20 @ Truly, truly I tell you, you will cry and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will be deeply distressed, but your pain will turn into joy.

isv@John:16:21 @ Whena woman is in labor she has pain, for her hour has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.

isv@John:16:22 @ Now you are having pain. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

isv@John:16:24 @ So far you haven't asked for anything in my name. Keep asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.”

isv@John:16:29 @ His disciples said, “Well, now you're speaking plainly and not using figurative language.

isv@John:16:31 @ Jesus answered them,“Do you now believe?

isv@John:16:32 @ Listen, the hour is coming, indeed it has already come, when you will be scattered, each of you to his own home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

isv@John:17:5 @ So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.

isv@John:17:6 @ I have made your name known to the men you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

isv@John:17:7 @ Now they realize that everything you gave me comes from you,

isv@John:17:8 @ because the words that you gave me I have given to them. They have received them and know for sure that I came from you. And they have believed that you sent me.

isv@John:17:9 @ I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you gave me, for they are yours.

isv@John:17:11 @ I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name, the namethat you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one.

isv@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I protected them by your name that you gave me. I guarded them, and not one of them became lost except the one who was destinedfordestruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

isv@John:17:21 @ that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be onein us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

isv@John:17:22 @ I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

isv@John:17:23 @ I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me.

isv@John:17:24 @ Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

isv@John:18:1 @ After Jesus had said this, he went with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

isv@John:18:2 @ Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

isv@John:18:3 @ So Judas took a detachment of soldiers and some officers from the high priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

isv@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen, went forward and said to them,“Who are you looking for?”

isv@John:18:5 @ They answered him, “Jesus from Nazareth.”Jesus said to them,“I am he.” Judas, the man who betrayed him, was standing with them.

isv@John:18:7 @ So he asked them again,“Who are you looking for?”They said, “Jesus from Nazareth.”

isv@John:18:8 @ Jesus replied,“I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”

isv@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

isv@John:18:12 @ Then the soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish officers, arrested Jesus and tied him up.

isv@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since the other disciple was known to the high priest, he accompanied Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

isv@John:18:17 @ The young woman at the gate said to Peter, “You aren't one of this man's disciples, too, are you?”He said, “I am not.”

isv@John:18:18 @ Meanwhile, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had built and were warming themselves because it was cold. Peter was also standing with them, keeping himself warm.

isv@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him,“I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the temple, where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

isv@John:18:21 @ Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said. These are the people who know what I said.”

isv@John:18:23 @ Jesus answered him,“If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was.But if I have told the truth, why do you hit me?”

isv@John:18:25 @ Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, “You aren't one of his disciples, too, are you?”He denied it by saying, “I am not!”

isv@John:18:26 @ Then one of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “I saw you in the garden with him, didn't I?”

isv@John:18:29 @ So Pilate came out to them and said, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”

isv@John:18:30 @ They answered him, “If he weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have handed him over to you.”

isv@John:18:33 @ So Pilate went back into the governor's headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

isv@John:18:34 @ Jesus replied,“Are you asking this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about me?”

isv@John:18:35 @ Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? It is your own nation and high priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?”

isv@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered,“My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my servants would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.But for now my kingdom is not from here.”

isv@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?”Jesus answered,“You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

isv@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I release one person for you at Passover. Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”

isv@John:18:40 @ At this, they shouted out again, “Not this fellow, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.

isv@John:19:2 @ The soldiers twisted some thorns into a victor's crown, put it on his head, and threw a purple robe on him.

isv@John:19:5 @ Then Jesus came outside, wearing the victor's crown of thorns and the purple robe.Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

isv@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered Pilate, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die because he made himself out to be the Son of God.”

isv@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard this, he became even more afraid.

isv@John:19:9 @ Returning to his headquarters, he said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no reply.

isv@John:19:10 @ So Pilate said to him, “Aren't you going to speak to me? You realize, don't you, that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you?”

isv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him,“You have no authority over me at all, except what was given to you from above. That's why the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

isv@John:19:12 @ From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this fellow, you're not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!”

isv@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in a place called The Pavement, which in Hebrew is called Gabbatha.

isv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the Preparation Day for the Passover, about twelve noon. He said to the Jews, “Here is your king!”

isv@John:19:15 @ Then they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king?”The high priests responded, “We have no king but Caesar!”

isv@John:19:17 @ Carrying the cross all by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

isv@John:19:18 @ There they crucified him, along with two others, one on each side of him with Jesus in the middle.

isv@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”

isv@John:19:20 @ Many Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. It was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

isv@John:19:22 @ Pilate replied, “What I have written I have written.”

isv@John:19:24 @ So they said to each other, “Let's not tear it. Instead, let's throw dice to see who gets it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture that says, “They divided my clothes among themselves,and for my clothing they threw dice.”So that is what the soldiers did.

isv@John:19:25 @ Meanwhile, standing near Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

isv@John:19:26 @ When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he kept loving standing there, he said to his mother,“Woman, here is your son.”

isv@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple,“Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

isv@John:19:28 @ After this, when Jesus realized that everything was now completed, he said (in order to fulfill the Scripture),“I'm thirsty.”

isv@John:19:29 @ A jar of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth.

isv@John:19:30 @ After Jesus had taken the wine, he said,“It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and released his spirit.

isv@John:19:31 @ Since it was the Preparation Day, the Jews did not want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath, for that was a particularly important Sabbath. So they asked Pilate to have the men's legs broken and the bodies removed.

isv@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

isv@John:19:36 @ For these things happened so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “None of his bones will be broken.”

isv@John:19:37 @ In addition, another passage of Scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they pierced.”

isv@John:19:38 @ Later on, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (though a secret one because he was afraid of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, and he came and removed his body.

isv@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus, the man who had first come to Jesus at night, also arrived, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds.

isv@John:19:41 @ A garden was located in the place where he was crucified, and in that garden was a new tomb in which no one had yet been placed.

isv@John:19:42 @ Because it was the Jewish Preparation Day, and because the tomb was nearby, they put Jesus there.

isv@John:20:1 @ On the first day of the week, early in the morning and while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and noticed that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

isv@John:20:2 @ So she ran off and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus kept loving. She told them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!”

isv@John:20:4 @ The two of them were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came to the tomb first.

isv@John:20:5 @ Bending over to look inside, he noticed the linen cloths lying there but didn't go in.

isv@John:20:6 @ At this point Simon Peter arrived, following him, and went straight into the tomb. He observed that the linen cloths were lying there,

isv@John:20:9 @ For they did not yet understand the Scripture that said that he had to rise from the dead.

isv@John:20:12 @ She saw two angels in white clothes who were sitting down, one at the head and the other at the foot of the place where Jesus’ body had been lying.

isv@John:20:13 @ They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”She told them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have put him.”

isv@John:20:14 @ After she had said this, she turned around and noticed Jesus standing there, without realizing that it was Jesus.

isv@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her,“Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”Thinking he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away.”

isv@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her,“Mary!”She turned around and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means “Teacher”).

isv@John:20:19 @ It was the evening of the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked because they were afraid of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them,“Peace be with you.”

isv@John:20:20 @ After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side, and when they saw the Lord the disciples were overjoyed.

isv@John:20:22 @ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,“Receive the Holy Spirit.

isv@John:20:23 @ If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven. If you retain people's sins, they are retained.”

isv@John:20:26 @ A week later his disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were shut, Jesus came, stood among them, and said,“Peace be with you.”

isv@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas,“Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side. Stop doubting, but believe.”

isv@John:20:28 @ Thomas answered him, saying “My Lord and my God!”

isv@John:20:29 @ Jesus said to him,“Is it because you have seen me that you have believed? How blessed are those who have never seen me and yet have believed!”

isv@John:20:30 @ Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not recorded in this book.

isv@John:20:31 @ But these have been recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that through believing you may have life in his name.

isv@John:21:1 @ Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way.

isv@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of his other disciples were together.

isv@John:21:4 @ Just as dawn was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.

isv@John:21:5 @ Jesus said to them, “Children, you don't have any fish, do you?”They answered him, “No.”

isv@John:21:6 @ He told them,“Throw the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you'll catchsome.” So they threw it out and were unable to haul it in because it was so full of fish.

isv@John:21:8 @ But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. They were only about a hundred yards away from the shore.

isv@John:21:9 @ When they arrived at the shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish lying on it, and some bread.

isv@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish—153 of them. And although there were so many of them, the net was not torn.

isv@John:21:12 @ Then Jesus said to them,“Come, have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?”, for they knew it was the Lord.

isv@John:21:13 @ Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

isv@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after he had been raised from the dead.

isv@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.”Jesus told him,“Feed my lambs.”

isv@John:21:16 @ Then he said to him a second time,“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”Jesus told him,“Take care of my sheep.”

isv@John:21:18 @ “Truly, truly I tell you, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go.”

isv@John:21:23 @ So the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple wasn't going to die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wasn't going to die, but,“If it is my will for him to remain until I come, how does that concern you?”

isv@John:21:25 @ Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.
