nsb@Matthew:1:1 @ The list of ancestors of Jesus Christ, descendant of David and Abraham:

nsb@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers. They lived at the time when the people were exiled to Babylon.

nsb@Matthew:1:12 @ After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel,

nsb@Matthew:1:17 @ So there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David until the exile to Babylon, fourteen generations from the exile until the Messiah.

nsb@Matthew:1:18 @ The birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: His mother Mary had been promised to Joseph in marriage. But before they were married, Mary realized that she was pregnant by Holy Spirit.

nsb@Matthew:1:19 @ Her husband Joseph was an honorable man and did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to break the marriage agreement with her secretly.

nsb@Matthew:1:20 @ Joseph had this in mind when God’s angel appeared to him in a dream. The angel said to him: »Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is pregnant by Holy Spirit.

nsb@Matthew:1:21 @ »She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.«

nsb@Matthew:1:23 @ »The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,« which means: »God is with us.« (John strkjv@1:18)

nsb@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of God had commanded him to do. He took Mary to be his wife.

nsb@Matthew:1:25 @ He did not have marital relations with her before she gave birth to a son. Joseph named the child Jesus.

nsb@Matthew:2:2 @ They asked: »Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and came to offer him praise.«

nsb@Matthew:2:4 @ He called together all the chief priests and teachers of the Law and asked where will the Messiah be born?

nsb@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly called the astrologers to find out exactly the time the star appeared.

nsb@Matthew:2:8 @ He sent them to Bethlehem. He said: »Search diligently for the young child. When you find him, bring me word so I may come and bow down to him also.«

nsb@Matthew:2:9 @ After they heard the king, they followed the star until it stopped over the place where the child was.

nsb@Matthew:2:10 @ They were overwhelmed with joy to see the star.

nsb@Matthew:2:12 @ God warned the astrologers in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they departed for their country by a different road.

nsb@Matthew:2:13 @ When they left, the angel of God appeared to Joseph in a dream and said: »Herod is looking to kill the young child. Arise, take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you to leave.«

nsb@Matthew:2:14 @ Joseph took the child and his mother to Egypt.

nsb@Matthew:2:16 @ Herod saw that the astrologers tricked him and he was furious. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys two years old and younger in or near Bethlehem. This matched the time he learned from the astrologers.

nsb@Matthew:2:19 @ After Herod died God’s angel appeared in a dream to Joseph who was in Egypt.

nsb@Matthew:2:20 @ The angel told him: »Take the child and his mother and go to Israel. Those who tried to kill the child are dead.«

nsb@Matthew:2:21 @ Joseph took the child and his mother to Israel.

nsb@Matthew:3:5 @ People from Jerusalem, Judea, and the whole Jordan Valley went to him.

nsb@Matthew:3:7 @ He saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism. »You offspring of vipers,« he said, »who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

nsb@Matthew:3:9 @ »Do not presume that Abraham is your father. I tell you that God can make descendants for Abraham from these stones!

nsb@Matthew:3:10 @ »The ax is ready to cut down the trees at the roots. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

nsb@Matthew:3:11 @ »I baptize you with water because of your repentance. He that comes after me is mightier than I. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire. I am not even good enough to carry his sandals.

nsb@Matthew:3:12 @ »His winnowing shovel is in his hand. He will clean his threshing floor and gather his wheat into a barn. He will then burn the husks in a fire that cannot be put out.«

nsb@Matthew:3:13 @ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John.

nsb@Matthew:3:14 @ »I need to be baptized by you,« John said. »Why are you coming to me?«

nsb@Matthew:3:15 @ Jesus answered emphatically: »This is the proper way to do everything that God requires. This is the way it must be!«

nsb@Matthew:4:1 @ God’s Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. There he was tested by the Devil.

nsb@Matthew:4:3 @ Satan, the Tempter, said to him: »If you are the Son of God order these stones to turn into bread.«

nsb@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the Devil took him into the holy city and had him stand on top of the Temple.

nsb@Matthew:4:6 @ »If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. The Scriptures say: ‘God will give orders to his angels about you and they will hold you with their hands, so that not even your feet will strike the ground.’«

nsb@Matthew:4:7 @ »Again it is written,« Jesus replied, »‘you must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’« (Deuteronomy strkjv@6:16)

nsb@Matthew:4:8 @ This time the Devil took Jesus to an extremely high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world with all their greatness.

nsb@Matthew:4:9 @ »I will give all this to you,« the Devil told Jesus, »if you kneel down and worship me.«

nsb@Matthew:4:10 @ »Go away, Satan!« demanded Jesus. »It is written, »It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’« (Deuteronomy strkjv@6:13-15)

nsb@Matthew:4:12 @ Jesus heard that John had been arrested. So Jesus withdrew to Galilee.

nsb@Matthew:4:13 @ He left Nazareth to reside at Capernaum, a town by Lake Galilee, in the districts of Zebulun and Naphtali.

nsb@Matthew:4:14 @ Thus the prophecy revealed to Isaiah would be fulfilled:

nsb@Matthew:4:19 @ He said to them: »Follow me and I will teach you to catch people.«

nsb@Matthew:4:24 @ News about him spread throughout the country of Syria. People sick and suffering from diseases, people with demons, epileptics and paralytics, came to him. Jesus healed them all.

nsb@Matthew:5:1 @ Seeing great masses of people, he went up to the mountain. When he was seated his disciples came to him.

nsb@Matthew:5:13 @ »You are the salt of the earth. If its taste goes away, how will you restore it? It is good for nothing. All you can do is throw it on the ground and walk on it.

nsb@Matthew:5:14 @ »You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill may be seen by all.

nsb@Matthew:5:15 @ »A light is not placed under a cover. To the contrary, it is placed on a table so all may see.

nsb@Matthew:5:16 @ »Likewise, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

nsb@Matthew:5:17 @ »Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill.

nsb@Matthew:5:19 @ »Whoever disobeys even the least of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. On the other hand whoever obeys and teaches others to obey the Law will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

nsb@Matthew:5:20 @ »I also tell you, your righteousness must be greater than the scribes and Pharisees or you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

nsb@Matthew:5:21 @ »You were told in the past, do not murder. Any one who murders will be brought to trial.

nsb@Matthew:5:22 @ »Now I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court. Whoever speaks to his brother with words of contempt shall receive condemnation before the Sanhedrin. Curse your brother and you will be guilty enough to be destroyed by fire, with the burning trash, at the Valley of Hinnom, outside of Jerusalem.

nsb@Matthew:5:25 @ »Come to an agreement quickly with the one who has a legal case against you. Do it before he turns the case over to the judge and you are thrown into jail.

nsb@Matthew:5:29 @ »If your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is better to lose a part of your body then to have your whole body destroyed in the ever-burning fires of the Valley of Hinnom.

nsb@Matthew:5:30 @ »If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose part of your body, than for your whole body to be destroyed in the ever-burning fire.

nsb@Matthew:5:31 @ »Again, it was said, ‘Whoever gets rid of his wife has to give her a certificate of divorce.’

nsb@Matthew:5:32 @ »I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except for the reason of fornication, makes her liable to commit adultery. And if she marries again, the man she marries also commits adultery.

nsb@Matthew:5:33 @ »You were also told that you should keep a promise. Always keep your promises to Jehovah.

nsb@Matthew:5:35 @ »Not by earth, for it is the footstool under His feet. Not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

nsb@Matthew:5:38 @ »You have heard it said, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

nsb@Matthew:5:39 @ »But I tell you, do not resist a wicked person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to that person.

nsb@Matthew:5:40 @ »If someone takes you to court to sue you and takes your shirt, let him have your coat as well.

nsb@Matthew:5:42 @ »Give to those who ask. Lend to those who borrow.

nsb@Matthew:5:45 @ »You will then act as true children of your Father in heaven. He gives sunlight to both evil and good people. He sends rain for the just and the unjust.

nsb@Matthew:5:46 @ »What good is there, when you love only those who love you? Even tax collectors do that!

nsb@Matthew:5:47 @ »When you are kind only to your friends what makes you different from anyone else? Even people of the nations do that.

nsb@Matthew:6:1 @ »Be careful! Do not display your righteousness before men to be noticed by them. If you do, you will have no reward with your heavenly Father.

nsb@Matthew:6:2 @ »Do not loudly announce it when you give to the poor. The hypocrites do this in the houses of worship and on the streets. They do this to be praised by men. Believe me, they have already been paid in full.

nsb@Matthew:6:5 @ »Do not pray like the hypocrites! They want everyone to see them in the houses of worship and on the street corners. I assure you they have been paid in full.

nsb@Matthew:6:6 @ »Go to your room and close the door. Privately pray to your Father. When your Father sees you he will reward you.

nsb@Matthew:6:13 @ »‘And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’ (Psalm strkjv@82:4) (Psalm strkjv@97:10) (Matthew strkjv@13:19) (John strkjv@17:15) (1 John strkjv@5:19)

nsb@Matthew:6:16 @ »When you abstain from food, do not be like the hypocrites, with sad faces to be seen by men. They have received their reward.

nsb@Matthew:6:24 @ »You cannot serve two masters. You will hate one and love the other. You will be loyal to one master and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

nsb@Matthew:6:26 @ »Look at the birds of the sky, they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you worth more than they?

nsb@Matthew:6:28 @ »Why are you worried about clothing? Look at how the lilies of the field grow. They do not toil. They do not spin.

nsb@Matthew:6:30 @ »If God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, won’t he care for you even more? You of little faith!

nsb@Matthew:6:33 @ »Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.

nsb@Matthew:6:34 @ »Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have its own worries. Sufficient for each day is its own badness.

nsb@Matthew:7:1 @ »Stop judging, so that you will not be judged.

nsb@Matthew:7:2 @ »As you judge, so you will be judged. As you measure, it will be measured to you.

nsb@Matthew:7:5 @ »You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye. Then you can see to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.

nsb@Matthew:7:6 @ »Do not give holy things to the dogs (Matthew strkjv@7:15). Do not throw your pearls before swine. They will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.

nsb@Matthew:7:9 @ »Who among you, who would give his son a stone when he asks him for bread?

nsb@Matthew:7:11 @ »Even though you are a sinner, you know how to give good gifts to your children. Think how much more your Father in heaven gives good things to those who ask him!

nsb@Matthew:7:12 @ »Do for others the same as you would have them to do for you. That is the meaning of the Law and the Prophets.

nsb@Matthew:7:13 @ »Enter through the narrow gate, since the gate to destruction is wide and the road that leads to destruction is wide and many enter through it.

nsb@Matthew:7:14 @ »Narrow is the gate and difficult is the way to life. Only a few put forth the effort. Yes, only a few people enter the narrow gate.

nsb@Matthew:7:19 @ »Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

nsb@Matthew:7:22 @ »Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’

nsb@Matthew:7:23 @ »I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you workers of evil.’

nsb@Matthew:7:28 @ When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at what he taught.

nsb@Matthew:8:2 @ A leper came to him and bowed down before him, saying: »Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.«

nsb@Matthew:8:3 @ He reached out his hand and touched him, saying: »I want to. Be made clean.« Right away his leprosy was cleansed.

nsb@Matthew:8:4 @ Jesus told him not to tell anyone. »Show yourself to the priests and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.«

nsb@Matthew:8:6 @ He said: »Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home and terribly tormented.«

nsb@Matthew:8:7 @ Jesus said to him: »I will come and heal him.«

nsb@Matthew:8:8 @ The centurion replied to Jesus: »Lord, I am not worthy that you come under my roof. Say the word and my servant will be healed.

nsb@Matthew:8:9 @ »I also am a man having authority and commanding soldiers. I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.«

nsb@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard it, he was amazed, and said to the crowd: »I tell you, I have not found such great faith in Israel.

nsb@Matthew:8:11 @ »I tell you, many will come from the east and the west, to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

nsb@Matthew:8:12 @ »but the sons of the kingdom will be cast forth into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.«

nsb@Matthew:8:13 @ Jesus said to the centurion: »Go. Just as you believe, so it will be done to you.« The servant was healed in that hour.

nsb@Matthew:8:14 @ Jesus went to Peter’s house. He saw his wife’s mother lying sick of a fever.

nsb@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her. She arose, and ministered to him.

nsb@Matthew:8:16 @ That evening, they brought many people possessed with demons to him. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick.

nsb@Matthew:8:17 @ In so doing, that which was spoken through Isaiah was fulfilled. Isaiah wrote: »He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.«

nsb@Matthew:8:18 @ Now when Jesus saw how large the crowd was growing, he gave orders to depart to the other side of the lake.

nsb@Matthew:8:19 @ A scribe came to him and said: »Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.«

nsb@Matthew:8:20 @ Jesus replied: »Foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.«

nsb@Matthew:8:21 @ One of his disciples said: »Lord, first allow me to go bury my father.«

nsb@Matthew:8:22 @ But Jesus said to him: »Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.«

nsb@Matthew:8:24 @ Suddenly a storm blew in and the boat was covered with waves. Jesus was asleep.

nsb@Matthew:8:25 @ And they came to him, woke him, and cried: »Save us, Lord, or we will perish.«

nsb@Matthew:8:26 @ He said to them: »Why are you afraid, you of little faith?« Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. Suddenly there was a great calm.

nsb@Matthew:8:28 @ When he arrived at the other side of the lake in the country of the Gadarenes two men possessed by demons came to him from out of the tombs. They were extremely violent, so no man could pass by that way.

nsb@Matthew:8:29 @ They screamed at him, saying: »What have we to do with you, Son of God? Have you come to torment us before the time?«

nsb@Matthew:8:31 @ The demons pleaded with him: »If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine!«

nsb@Matthew:8:32 @ He told them to go. And they came out, and went into the swine. The entire herd rushed down the hill into the sea, where they perished in the waters.

nsb@Matthew:8:33 @ The herdsmen fled to the city to tell everything that happened to the swine that were possessed with demons.

nsb@Matthew:8:34 @ Everyone in the city came out to meet Jesus. They begged him to go away from their country.

nsb@Matthew:9:1 @ Jesus entered a boat and crossed over to his own city, on the other side of the lake.

nsb@Matthew:9:2 @ A man on a bed, a paralytic, was brought to Jesus. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the sick man: »Have courage; your sins are forgiven.«

nsb@Matthew:9:5 @ »Which is easier, to say, your sins are forgiven, or to say, get up and walk?«

nsb@Matthew:9:6 @ So that you know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins: »Get up, take your bed and go to your house.«

nsb@Matthew:9:7 @ He arose, and departed to his house.

nsb@Matthew:9:8 @ But when the people saw it, they marveled, and glorified God who had given such authority to men.

nsb@Matthew:9:9 @ Jesus moved on. He then saw Matthew seated at his work collecting taxes. He said to him: »Follow me.« He rose and followed him.

nsb@Matthew:9:10 @ Jesus was a dinner guest at Matthew’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

nsb@Matthew:9:11 @ When the Pharisees saw it, they asked his disciples: »Why does your Teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?«

nsb@Matthew:9:13 @ »You should learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice’; for I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.«

nsb@Matthew:9:20 @ A woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years came behind him. She touched the border of his garment.

nsb@Matthew:9:21 @ She said to herself: »If I touch his garment, I will be healed.«

nsb@Matthew:9:22 @ Jesus turned to see her and said: »Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.« The woman was healed at that time.

nsb@Matthew:9:23 @ Jesus went into the official’s house and saw flute players and the crowd making a lot of noise.

nsb@Matthew:9:24 @ He told them to leave: »For the girl is not dead, but sleeps.« They all scornfully laughed at him.

nsb@Matthew:9:25 @ The people were sent away. He went to the girl, took hold of her hand, and she got up.

nsb@Matthew:9:26 @ The news about this spread to all the land.

nsb@Matthew:9:28 @ He went into a nearby house. The blind men followed him. Jesus asked them: »Do you believe that I can heal you?« They said: »Yes Lord.«

nsb@Matthew:9:29 @ He touched their eyes. »Let it be done,« he said, »according to your faith.«

nsb@Matthew:9:32 @ Next, a dumb man possessed with a demon was brought to him.

nsb@Matthew:9:35 @ Jesus went to all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom. He healed every sort of disease and every sort of infirmity.

nsb@Matthew:9:37 @ Jesus said to his disciples: »The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few.

nsb@Matthew:9:38 @ »Pray that the Lord of the harvest will send out workers into his harvest.«

nsb@Matthew:10:1 @ He called his twelve disciples. He gave them power to cast out unclean spirits and to heal all kinds of disease and sickness.

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

nsb@Matthew:10:5 @ Jesus sent the twelve. He gave them orders not to go to the people of the nations and not to go to the Samaritans.

nsb@Matthew:10:6 @ He said: »Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

nsb@Matthew:10:11 @ »Go into a city or village and search for the worthy ones. Stay with them until you are ready to leave.

nsb@Matthew:10:13 @ »If the people are worthy, let your blessing stand. If they are not worthy, let your peace return to you.

nsb@Matthew:10:14 @ »If someone will not welcome you and listen to the message, leave that house or town, shake the dust off your feet and move on.

nsb@Matthew:10:15 @ »I tell you, it will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that town.

nsb@Matthew:10:17 @ »Beware of men! They will take you to court! They will have you beaten in their meeting places.

nsb@Matthew:10:18 @ »You will be taken before governors and kings for my sake. This will serve as a testimony to them and to the people of the nations.

nsb@Matthew:10:19 @ »When they hand you over, do not worry about what to say and how to say it. You will be given the words to speak at that time.

nsb@Matthew:10:21 @ »People will hand over their brothers to be put to death. Parents will oppose children and children will oppose parents, causing them to be put to death.

nsb@Matthew:10:22 @ »Men will hate you because of me. He who endures to the end will be saved.

nsb@Matthew:10:23 @ »When they persecute you in this city, flee to the next. I tell you; before you have gone through all the cities of Israel the Son of man will come.

nsb@Matthew:10:27 @ »The things I tell you in darkness, speak in the light. Proclaim everything you hear from on top of the house.

nsb@Matthew:10:28 @ »Do not fear those who kill the body. They are not able to take away your life. Instead, fear him who is able to destroy both life and body in the ever-burning fires.

nsb@Matthew:10:34 @ »Do not think I came to bring peace on the earth. I came not to bring peace, but a sword.

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

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

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

nsb@Matthew:11:7 @ When these men left, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John. »What did you go into the wilderness to find? Did you look for a reed shaken by the wind?

nsb@Matthew:11:8 @ »What did you expect to see, a man clothed in fancy clothes? Those who wear fancy clothes are in king’s houses.

nsb@Matthew:11:9 @ »Did you go to see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet!

nsb@Matthew:11:12 @ »From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been man’s goal, and men of violence have attempted to take it by force.

nsb@Matthew:11:14 @ »If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

nsb@Matthew:11:15 @ »He who has ears to hear let him listen!

nsb@Matthew:11:16 @ »Of what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their playmates.

nsb@Matthew:11:19 @ »The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘A gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Wisdom is justified by its actions.«

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

nsb@Matthew:11:22 @ »I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the Day of Judgment than for you.

nsb@Matthew:11:23 @ »Will you, Capernaum, be exalted into heaven? You will go down into the grave. If the mighty works had been done in Sodom, which were done in you, it would have remained until this day.

nsb@Matthew:11:24 @ »But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment, than for you.«

nsb@Matthew:11:25 @ Then Jesus prayed: »I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and have revealed them to children. (Acts strkjv@2:36)

nsb@Matthew:11:27 @ »All things have been delivered to me from my Father. Only the Father knows the Son, and only the Son knows the Father. The Son tells others about the Father so that they can know him too.

nsb@Matthew:11:28 @ »Come unto me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

nsb@Matthew:12:2 @ The Pharisees saw it and said to him: »Your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.«

nsb@Matthew:12:3 @ He replied to them: »Have you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

nsb@Matthew:12:4 @ »He entered into the house of God, and he and his companions ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for them to eat. It was only lawful for the priests.

nsb@Matthew:12:6 @ »I say to you, one greater than the Temple is here.

nsb@Matthew:12:9 @ He left and went into their synagogue.

nsb@Matthew:12:10 @ There he saw a man who had a withered hand. They asked him if it is lawful to heal on the Sabbath day? They wanted to accuse him.

nsb@Matthew:12:11 @ He said to them: »Which of you having one sheep, if this sheep fell into a pit on the Sabbath day, will not get it and lift it out.

nsb@Matthew:12:12 @ »How much more value is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day!«

nsb@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man: »Stretch out your hand.« He stretched it out and it was restored whole like the other.

nsb@Matthew:12:14 @ The Pharisees left and took counsel against him, to decide how they might destroy him.

nsb@Matthew:12:16 @ He warned them not to tell anyone where he was.

nsb@Matthew:12:18 @ »Look! My servant whom I have chosen. I am well pleased with him. I will put my Spirit upon him and he will declare judgment to the nations.

nsb@Mark:1:40 @ A man with leprosy knelt in front of Jesus and begged to be healed. »If you want to, you can make me well,« he said.

nsb@Mark:1:41 @ Moved with compassion Jesus touched him. »I want to,« he said. »Be healed!«

nsb@Mark:1:43 @ Jesus sent him away and warned him. »Go directly to the priest and let him examine you.

nsb@Mark:1:44 @ »Do not talk to anyone along the way. Take the offering the Law of Moses requires for those healed of leprosy. That way everyone will have proof of your healing.«

nsb@Mark:1:45 @ But the man gave a public account of his healing everywhere he went. Soon crowds surrounded Jesus and he could not enter a town publicly. He had to stay in secluded places and people continued to come to him.

nsb@Mark:2:1 @ Several days later Jesus returned to Capernaum. The word spread that he was home.

nsb@Mark:2:2 @ So many people gathered that there was no room left even by the door. Jesus was speaking God’s word to them.

nsb@Mark:2:3 @ Men came to him carrying a paralyzed man.

nsb@Mark:2:4 @ They could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd. So they removed the roof over the place where Jesus was. Then they lowered the cot on which the paralyzed man was lying.

nsb@Mark:2:5 @ When Jesus saw their faith, he told the man: »Friend your sins are forgiven.«

nsb@Mark:2:9 @ »Which is easier to say to the sick man your sins are forgiven or take your bed and walk?

nsb@Mark:2:10 @ »So you may see that the Son of man has authority to forgive sins on earth,« he said to the man:

nsb@Mark:2:11 @ »Get up and take your bed, and go to your house.«

nsb@Mark:2:12 @ He got up, took the bed and went out before them all. They were all filled with wonder. They gave glory to God and said we have never seen anything like this.

nsb@Mark:2:13 @ Again he went to the seaside and all the people followed him. So he taught them.

nsb@Mark:2:14 @ He saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were collected. He said to him: »Come with me.« And he got up and went with him.

nsb@Mark:2:15 @ He was reclining at the meal in his house. Several tax collectors and sinners were at the table with Jesus and his disciples. There were a great number of them, and they came after him.

nsb@Mark:2:16 @ When the scribes of the Pharisees saw he was eating with the tax collectors and sinners they asked his disciples: »Why does he take food and drink with such men?«

nsb@Mark:2:17 @ Jesus heard this. He said to them: »Those who are well have no need of a medical man but those who are ill do. I have come to care for sinners not the upright.«

nsb@Mark:2:18 @ John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. They came to him and asked: »Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast but your disciples do not?«

nsb@Mark:2:22 @ »No man puts new wine into old wineskins. The skins will burst and the wine and the skins will be wasted. New wine has to be put into new wine skins.«

nsb@Mark:2:23 @ Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath day. While they walked his disciples took the heads of grain.

nsb@Mark:2:24 @ The Pharisees said: »Why are they doing what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?«

nsb@Mark:2:26 @ »He went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest. David took the holy bread for food and gave to his companions. Only the priests may take the holy bread.

nsb@Mark:3:2 @ They watched to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath day. Then they might have something against him.

nsb@Mark:3:3 @ He said to the man: »Get up and come forward.«

nsb@Mark:3:4 @ Then he asked the Pharisees, »Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? Is it right to give life or to put to death?« But they said nothing.

nsb@Mark:3:5 @ He looked at them and was angry. He was also sad on account of their hard hearts. He said to the man: »Stretch out your hand.« He stretched it out and his hand was healed.

nsb@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went away and immediately conspired with the Herodians. They tried to decide how they might destroy him.

nsb@Mark:3:7 @ Jesus went with his disciples to the sea. A great crowed from Galilee followed. They were also from Judaea,

nsb@Mark:3:8 @ Jerusalem, Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and from Tyre and Sidon. These people heard the great things he did and came to him.

nsb@Mark:3:9 @ He asked his disciples to have a small boat ready because the crowd might press too close to him.

nsb@Mark:3:10 @ He healed many. Others with afflictions pressed close to him that they might touch him.

nsb@Mark:3:12 @ He commanded them not to make him known.

nsb@Mark:3:13 @ He went up on the mountain and invited anyone who wanted to go with him.

nsb@Mark:3:14 @ He appointed twelve to be with him and he sent them out to preach.

nsb@Mark:3:15 @ He gave them authority to cast out demons.

nsb@Mark:3:19 @ Also present was Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Then he went into a house.

nsb@Mark:3:21 @ When his own people heard of this they went to apprehend him. They said: »He has lost his senses.«

nsb@Mark:3:23 @ Jesus called them to him and spoke to them in illustrations. He asked: »How could Satan cast out Satan?

nsb@Mark:3:25 @ »When a house is divided against itself it will not be able to stand.

nsb@Mark:3:26 @ »If Satan has risen up against himself, he is divided, cannot stand and will come to an end.

nsb@Mark:3:27 @ »No one can enter into the house of the strong man and steal his property unless he first captures the strong man. Then he will steal his property.

nsb@Mark:3:32 @ A crowd was sitting around him. They said to him: »Look your mother and you brother are outside looking for you.«

nsb@Mark:4:2 @ He taught them many things by illustrations and said to them:

nsb@Mark:4:3 @ »Listen, the sower went out to sow.

nsb@Mark:4:9 @ He continued: »He who has ears to hear let him hear.«

nsb@Mark:4:11 @ He told them: »The secret of the kingdom of God is given to you. Illustrations are spoken to outsiders.

nsb@Mark:4:22 @ »There is nothing hidden unless it should be made known. Nothing is made secret that should come to light.

nsb@Mark:4:23 @ »If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.«

nsb@Mark:4:24 @ Then he said: »Be careful what you listen to. That which is portioned out by you might be portioned to you and more.

nsb@Mark:4:25 @ »He who has, to him it will be given. He who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.«

nsb@Mark:4:29 @ »When the grain is ready he immediately sends men to cut it, because the time for cutting has come.«

nsb@Mark:4:30 @ He said: »What illustration should we use to picture the kingdom of God? What story will make it clear?

nsb@Mark:4:32 @ »But when it is planted it grows and becomes taller than all the plants. It grows out great branches so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.«

nsb@Mark:4:33 @ He spoke the word to them with many illustrations as long as they were able to listen.

nsb@Mark:4:34 @ He spoke only with illustrations. However he made all things clear to his disciples in private.

nsb@Mark:4:35 @ When evening arrived Jesus said: Let us go over to the other side.«

nsb@Mark:4:36 @ They took him with them on the boat and left the people. Other boats were with him also.

nsb@Mark:4:37 @ A great windstorm came up and the waves came into the boat.

nsb@Mark:4:38 @ He was in back of the boat sleeping on a cushion. They woke him. They said: »Master is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?«

nsb@Mark:4:39 @ He awoke from sleep and commanded the wind and sea. He commanded the sea to be at peace and rest. And he commanded the wind to go down and there was a great calm.

nsb@Mark:4:41 @ Their fear was great. They said to themselves: »Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey his orders?«

nsb@Mark:5:1 @ They traveled to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.

nsb@Mark:5:2 @ Just as he got out of the boat a man with an unclean spirit came to him from the tombs.

nsb@Mark:5:3 @ He was living in the tombs. No man was able to bind him even with a chain.

nsb@Mark:5:4 @ Often he was bound in chains and iron bands but he would break them. No man was strong enough to keep him still.

nsb@Mark:5:5 @ Day and night in the tombs and in the mountains he cried out. He would cut himself with stones.

nsb@Mark:5:7 @ Crying out with a loud voice, he said: »What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the highest God? In God’s name do not torment me!«

nsb@Mark:5:10 @ He earnestly implored him not to send the spirits away out of the country.

nsb@Mark:5:12 @ They pleaded with Jesus: »Send us into the pigs!«

nsb@Mark:5:13 @ He let them do it. Then the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea. About two thousand of them died in the sea.

nsb@Mark:5:14 @ Their keepers ran off to the town to tell others what happened. People came to see what had taken place.

nsb@Mark:5:15 @ When they came to Jesus they saw the man who had been demon possessed. He was fully clothed and in full use of his senses. So they were afraid.

nsb@Mark:5:16 @ Those who saw the event gave a full account of what happened to the man, the evil spirits and the pigs.

nsb@Mark:5:17 @ They asked Jesus to leave their country.

nsb@Mark:5:18 @ Entering the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons asked that he might be allowed to travel with him.

nsb@Mark:5:19 @ Jesus told him: »Go to your house and to your friends and tell them about the great things God did for you and how he had mercy on you.«

nsb@Mark:5:20 @ He went away and told others in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him. They all marveled.

nsb@Mark:5:21 @ Again Jesus crossed over in the boat to the other side. A great crowd gathered to him while he was by the sea.

nsb@Mark:5:24 @ Jesus went with him. A great crowd followed him and they pressed very close to him.

nsb@Mark:5:27 @ Hearing about Jesus she came though the crowd and touched his garment.

nsb@Mark:5:28 @ She said: »If I touch his garments I shall be made whole.«

nsb@Mark:5:30 @ Suddenly Jesus recognized that power issued from him. He turned to the crowd and asked: »Who touched my garments?«

nsb@Mark:5:31 @ His disciples said to him: »You see all these people around you and you ask who touched me?«

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

nsb@Mark:5:33 @ The woman was afraid and trembled. Knowing what happened she fell down before him, and told him the truth.

nsb@Mark:5:36 @ But Jesus did not listen. He said to the ruler of the synagogue believe and do not fear.

nsb@Mark:5:37 @ He allowed only Peter, James, and John the brother of James to follow him.

nsb@Mark:5:40 @ They laughed him to scorn. He sent them all out of the house. Then he took the father, mother and his companions and went to the child.

nsb@Mark:5:41 @ He took the child by the hand and said to her: »Talitha cumi.« Which means when interpreted, »little girl I say to you arise.«

nsb@Mark:5:43 @ He gave them firm orders not to tell any man about this. Then he commanded that she be given something to eat.

nsb@Mark:6:1 @ He left there and went to his own country. His disciples followed him.

nsb@Mark:6:2 @ Jesus taught in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Many were astonished when they heard him. They asked: »Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to this man and how did he perform these mighty works by his hands?

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

nsb@Mark:6:6 @ He wondered at their unbelief. Then he went around to the villages teaching.

nsb@Mark:6:8 @ They were instructed to take nothing for their journey, with the exception of a walking staff.

nsb@Mark:6:9 @ They were to take no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse and no extra sandals or coat.

nsb@Mark:6:10 @ He said: »When someone invites you to enter into a house, stay there until you leave.

nsb@Mark:6:11 @ »When someone will not listen to you leave that house and shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony to the householder.«

nsb@Mark:6:12 @ They went out to preach that men should repent.

nsb@Mark:6:18 @ John said to Herod: »It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.«

nsb@Mark:6:19 @ Herodias had a grudge against John and was determined to have him killed.

nsb@Mark:6:20 @ But Herod feared John. He knew he was a righteous and holy man so he kept him safe. That is why he listened to John but was perplexed.

nsb@Mark:6:21 @ It was Herod’s birthday. He invited his lords, the military commanders, and the prominent men of Galilee to supper.

nsb@Mark:6:23 @ He pledged to her, »Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom.«

nsb@Mark:6:25 @ At once she went to the king and asked: »Will you give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter.«

nsb@Mark:6:26 @ The king was very sorry. Even so he kept his promise to her. He did not turn her down. This also showed his dinner guests he was a man of his word.

nsb@Mark:6:27 @ He immediately commanded his guard to behead John the Baptist and bring his head to him.

nsb@Mark:6:28 @ He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the young lady. In turn she gave it to her mother.

nsb@Mark:6:29 @ When his disciples heard this they took his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

nsb@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered together with Jesus. They told him all things they had done and taught.

nsb@Mark:6:31 @ He told them come into a secluded place and rest a while. For there were many people coming and going and they had no leisure time.

nsb@Mark:6:32 @ They went away in the boat to a secluded place.

nsb@Mark:6:33 @ The people from all the cities knew they were going and they ran together on foot to arrive ahead of them.

nsb@Mark:6:36 @ »Send them away that they may go to the country and villages nearby and buy themselves something to eat.«

nsb@Mark:6:37 @ He replied: »You give them food to eat.« They asked: »Should we buy two hundred shillings’ worth of bread to feed them?«

nsb@Mark:6:39 @ He commanded them to sit down by groups upon the green grass.

nsb@Mark:6:41 @ Then he looked up to heaven and blessed the food. He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and broke the loaves into pieces and gave them to his disciples. He also divided the two fishes. He gave the food to his disciples to serve to the people.

nsb@Mark:6:45 @ Jesus made his disciples hurry into a boat to cross to Bethsaida ahead of him. Then he sent the crowd away.

nsb@Mark:6:46 @ After he left he went to the mountain to pray.

nsb@Mark:6:48 @ He saw that they were tired of rowing for the wind was against them. It was the fourth watch of the night. He walked on the sea and was about to pass them.

nsb@Mark:6:50 @ They all saw him and were troubled. Suddenly he spoke to them: »Be of good cheer. It is I do not fear.«

nsb@Mark:6:52 @ They had not understood the loaves of bread. Their minds were closed.

nsb@Mark:6:53 @ They completed the crossing to the land of Gennesaret and anchored by the shore.

nsb@Mark:6:55 @ They were wherever he was in the whole region. They carried the sick on their beds to him.

nsb@Mark:6:56 @ When he entered a village or city in the marketplaces or the country the sick tried to touch the border of his garment and be healed.

nsb@Mark:7:1 @ The Pharisees and some of the scribes came from Jerusalem to gather around Jesus.

nsb@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and the scribes asked: »Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders. Instead they eat their bread with defiled hands?«

nsb@Mark:7:6 @ He told them: »Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites. It is written: ‘This people honor me with their lips but their heart is far from me.

nsb@Mark:7:8 @ Speaking to the Pharisees and scribes He said: »You abandon the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.

nsb@Mark:7:9 @ »You totally reject the commandment of God that you may keep your tradition.

nsb@Mark:7:11 @ »But you say: ‘If a man says to his father or his mother that which would benefit you is a gift to God,

nsb@Mark:7:12 @ he no longer has to do anything for his father or mother.’

nsb@Mark:7:15 @ »Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. That which comes from inside of a man can make him unclean.

nsb@Mark:7:16 @ »If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.«

nsb@Mark:7:17 @ When he entered the house away from the crowd his disciples asked him to explain.

nsb@Mark:7:18 @ He replied: »Do you not understand? Do you not know that which goes into the man from the outside cannot defile him?

nsb@Mark:7:19 @ »It is because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach and is eliminated? All foods are clean.

nsb@Mark:7:24 @ Jesus went to the territory of Tyre and Sidon. He did not want anyone to know that he was staying in a house there. However it could not be kept a secret.

nsb@Mark:7:25 @ A woman whose little daughter had an evil spirit heard about Jesus. She went to him and bowed down.

nsb@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek Syrophoenician by race. She wanted him to drive out the demon out of her daughter.

nsb@Mark:7:27 @ He said to her: »Let the children be fed first. It is not proper to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.«

nsb@Mark:7:29 @ Then he replied: »Thanks to your answer you may leave for the demon has gone out of your daughter.«

nsb@Mark:7:30 @ She went to her house and found the child on the bed with the demon gone.

nsb@Mark:7:31 @ He left the borders of Tyre through Sidon, through the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.

nsb@Mark:7:32 @ They brought a deaf man with an impediment in his speech to him and asked him to lay his hands on him.

nsb@Mark:7:33 @ Jesus took him aside from the crowd privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.

nsb@Mark:7:34 @ Looking up to heaven he sighed and said to him: »Ephphatha, that is, be opened.«

nsb@Mark:7:35 @ His ears were opened. His tongue was freed and he spoke plainly.

nsb@Mark:7:36 @ Jesus told them not to tell anyone. The more he told them not to talk the more they talked.

nsb@Mark:8:1 @ It was one of those days when there was a great crowd of people. They had nothing to eat so he called his disciples.

nsb@Mark:8:2 @ Jesus said: »I am concerned for these people because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.

nsb@Mark:8:3 @ »If I send them away to their houses with no food they will be weak and faint. Some of them have a long way to go.«

nsb@Mark:8:6 @ He made the people sit on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He gave the broken bread to his disciples and they served the people.

nsb@Mark:8:10 @ Immediately he entered a boat and he and his disciples traveled to Dalmanutha.

nsb@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came to question him. They were testing him and seeking a sign from heaven.

nsb@Mark:8:12 @ He sighed deeply in his spirit and said: »Why does this generation seek a sign? I tell you truly no sign will be given to this generation.«

nsb@Mark:8:13 @ He left them and boarded the boat and departed to the other side.

nsb@Mark:8:14 @ They forgot to take bread and they only had one loaf with them in the boat.

nsb@Mark:8:15 @ He ordered them to be aware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

nsb@Mark:8:20 @ And the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you bring back? And they told him: »Seven.«

nsb@Mark:8:22 @ They arrived at Bethsaida. A blind man was brought to him with the request to touch him.

nsb@Mark:8:25 @ He laid his hands on his eyes again and his vision was fully restored, he saw everything clearly.

nsb@Mark:8:26 @ He sent him to his home saying: »Do not enter into the village.«

nsb@Mark:8:27 @ Jesus and his disciples went into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples: »Who do men say I am?«

nsb@Mark:8:28 @ They told him: »John the Baptist and others say Elijah. Some say you are one of the prophets.«

nsb@Mark:8:29 @ »Who do you say I am,« Jesus asked. They told him: »You are the Christ.«

nsb@Mark:8:30 @ He commanded them not to tell any man.

nsb@Mark:8:32 @ Jesus spoke openly about this. Peter took him aside and rebuked him.

nsb@Mark:8:33 @ He turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter saying: »Get behind me Satan for you do not pay attention to the things of God. You tend to the things of men.«

nsb@Mark:8:34 @ He then spoke to both his disciples and the crowd. He said: »If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his stake and follow me.

nsb@Mark:8:36 @ »What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

nsb@Mark:9:2 @ Six days later Jesus took Peter, James and John up on a high mountain completely alone. He was transfigured in front of them.

nsb@Mark:9:5 @ Peter said to Jesus: »Teacher it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.«

nsb@Mark:9:6 @ Peter and the others were afraid and they did not know what to say.

nsb@Mark:9:7 @ A cloud hovered over them and a voice came out of the cloud: »This is my Son the beloved listen to him!«

nsb@Mark:9:9 @ They came down the mountain. He warned them not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of man had risen from the dead.

nsb@Mark:9:12 @ He said: »Elijah does come first and restores all things. It is written that the Son of man should suffer and be treated with contempt?

nsb@Mark:9:13 @ »But I say to you that Elijah has come. They have done to him what ever they wished just as it is written about him.«

nsb@Mark:9:14 @ When they came to the disciples they saw a great crowd with them and scribes questioning them.

nsb@Mark:9:15 @ Suddenly the crowd saw him and ran to him to greet him.

nsb@Mark:9:17 @ One of the people answered him: »Teacher I brought my son who is unable to talk because of a spirit.

nsb@Mark:9:18 @ »The spirit seizes him and slams him down. He foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. I asked your disciples to cast it out but they could not do it.«

nsb@Mark:9:19 @ Jesus then said: »O faithless generation. How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me.«

nsb@Mark:9:20 @ They brought the boy to him. Suddenly the spirit threw him into convulsions. He fell on the ground rolled around and foamed at the mouth.

nsb@Mark:9:22 @ Often it casts him into the fire and into the water to destroy him. If you can do anything have compassion on us and help us.

nsb@Mark:9:23 @ Jesus said to him: »All things are possible to him who has faith.«

nsb@Mark:9:25 @ When Jesus saw the people he ordered the unclean spirit to come out of him. He commanded the spirit that caused the loss of voice and hearing to leave and never return to him.

nsb@Mark:9:27 @ Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up.

nsb@Mark:9:28 @ When the child went into the house his disciples asked him privately: »Why were we unable to send it out?«

nsb@Mark:9:31 @ He taught his disciples: »The Son of man will be handed over to men who will put him to death. After three days he will come back from the dead.«

nsb@Mark:9:32 @ They did not understand and they were afraid to ask him about it.

nsb@Mark:9:33 @ They traveled to Capernaum. When they were in the house he asked them: »What were you talking about on the way?«

nsb@Mark:9:35 @ He sat down and the twelve came to him. He said: »If any man has the desire to be first, he would be last of all and servant of all.«

nsb@Mark:9:36 @ He put a little child in the middle of them and taking him in his arms he said to them:

nsb@Mark:9:38 @ John spoke up: »Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name. We tried to stop him because he does not follow us.«

nsb@Mark:9:39 @ But Jesus said: »Do not stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

nsb@Mark:9:41 @ »Whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ’s, most assuredly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

nsb@Mark:9:42 @ »Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea.

nsb@Mark:9:43 @ »If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It would be better to enter into life maimed then, having two hands to be destroyed in the ever-burning trash fires in the Valley of Hinnom.

nsb@Mark:9:45 @ »If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is good for you to enter into life with only one foot, rather than having two feet to be cast into the ever-burning fires of Hinnom.

nsb@Mark:9:47 @ »If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is good for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be destroyed in the ever-burning trash fires in the valley of Hinnom.

nsb@Mark:10:1 @ Jesus crossed the Jordan River when he went to the province of Judea. Crowds gathered all around him just as they always did.

nsb@Mark:10:2 @ Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him. »Does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife?« They asked.

nsb@Mark:10:4 @ They said: »Moses allowed us to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.«

nsb@Mark:10:9 @ »That which God has joined together let not man take apart.«

nsb@Mark:10:13 @ People were bringing little children to him so he could touch them. His disciples turned them away.

nsb@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it he was moved with indignation. He said: »Allow the little children to come to me! Do not turn them away for they belong to the kingdom of God.

nsb@Mark:10:16 @ He took them in his arms, put his hands upon them and blessed them.

nsb@Mark:10:17 @ As he traveled someone ran to him, kneeled and asked him: »Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit everlasting life?«

nsb@Mark:10:21 @ Jesus lovingly looked at him and said: »You lack one thing. Go, sell your possessions and give to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.«

nsb@Mark:10:23 @ Looking around Jesus said to his disciples: »It is hard for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!«

nsb@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus repeated it again: »Children, it is hard to enter into the kingdom of God!

nsb@Mark:10:25 @ »It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.«

nsb@Mark:10:26 @ They were greatly astonished! So they asked him: »Who can be saved?«

nsb@Mark:10:28 @ Peter said to him: »We have left all and followed you.«

nsb@Mark:10:30 @ will receive a hundred times as much now in this time, and in the age to come everlasting life.

nsb@Mark:10:32 @ Jesus went to Jerusalem. The disciples followed him. They were amazed at what Jesus did. Others followed and were afraid. He met with the twelve to tell them the things that were to happen to him.

nsb@Mark:10:33 @ »When we go to Jerusalem the Son of man will be turned over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the people of the nations.

nsb@Mark:10:35 @ James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him saying: »Teacher, we want you to do for us what we ask of you.«

nsb@Luke:19:42 @ He said: »If you only knew today the things needed to bring peace! But they are hidden from your eyes.

nsb@Luke:19:44 @ »They will knock you and your children down to the ground. They will not leave one stone upon another. What’s more you do not know when this visit will take place.«

nsb@Luke:19:47 @ Everyday he taught in the temple. The chief priests, scribes and other important men of the people looked for ways to destroy him.

nsb@Luke:19:48 @ They could not find a way for the people listened to every thing he said.

nsb@Luke:20:2 @ They said to him: »Tell us by what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?«

nsb@Luke:20:6 @ »If we say from men all the people will stone us. They are persuaded that John was a prophet.«

nsb@Luke:20:9 @ He told the people an illustration: »A man planted a vineyard. He rented it to tenants and went to another country for a long time.

nsb@Luke:20:10 @ »At harvest time he sent a servant to the renters to collect fruit of the vineyard. The renters beat him, and sent him away empty.

nsb@Luke:20:15 @ »They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

nsb@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy the renters and will give the vineyard to others. When they heard it, they said, God forbid!

nsb@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the chief priests attempted to capture him in that very hour. They feared the people. They perceived that he spoke this illustration against them.

nsb@Luke:20:20 @ They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous. The spies listened for something in his speech to deliver him up to the authority of the governor.

nsb@Luke:20:22 @ »Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?«

nsb@Luke:20:25 @ He said to them: »Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.«

nsb@Luke:20:26 @ They were not able to apprehend him in front of the people. They were amazed by his answer and kept quiet.

nsb@Luke:20:27 @ Some Sadducees came to him. They believe there is no resurrection.

nsb@Luke:20:29 @ »There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

nsb@Luke:20:35 @ »Those accounted worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

nsb@Luke:20:47 @ »They devour widows’ houses. They offer long prayers to show off in front of others. They shall receive great condemnation.«

nsb@Luke:21:1 @ He saw rich men putting their gifts into the treasury.

nsb@Luke:21:5 @ Some spoke of how wonderful the temple was. How it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus replied:

nsb@Luke:21:6 @ »Concerning these things you see, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.«

nsb@Luke:21:7 @ They asked him: »Teacher, when would these things take place? What will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?«

nsb@Luke:21:12 @ »Even before all these things, they will capture you, and persecute you. You will be delivered to synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake.

nsb@Luke:22:2 @ The chief priests and the scribes searched for a way to put him to death. But they feared the people.

nsb@Luke:22:3 @ Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot. He was one of the twelve.

nsb@Luke:22:4 @ He went away to discuss with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver Jesus to them.

nsb@Luke:22:5 @ They were glad, and pledged to give him money.

nsb@Luke:22:6 @ He consented and looked for a way to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.

nsb@Luke:22:9 @ They asked him: »Where do you want us to get ready?«

nsb@Luke:22:10 @ He said: »When you enter the city a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house.

nsb@Luke:22:20 @ Then he took the cup saying: « This represents the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

nsb@Luke:22:39 @ He went to the Mount of Olives as was his custom and the disciples also followed him.

nsb@Luke:22:40 @ When he arrived he said to them: »Pray that you do not enter into temptation.«

nsb@Luke:22:43 @ An angel came to him and gave him strength.

nsb@Luke:22:45 @ When he finished his prayer he went to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of their sorrow.

nsb@Luke:22:46 @ He said: »Why do you sleep? Arise and pray that you do not enter into temptation.«

nsb@Luke:22:47 @ As he spoke a crowd followed Judas, one of the twelve. They came to him. Judas approached Jesus and kissed him.

nsb@Luke:22:48 @ Jesus said to him: »Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?«

nsb@Luke:22:51 @ Jesus said: »Do not do any more of this.« Then he touched his ear and healed him.

nsb@Luke:22:52 @ Jesus spoke to the chief priests, captains of the temple and elders who came against him: »Did you come as you would against a robber with swords and clubs?

nsb@Luke:22:54 @ They seized him and led him away. They took him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed from a distance.

nsb@Luke:22:55 @ They kindled a fire in the midst of the court. They sat down together. Peter sat in the midst of them.

nsb@Luke:22:61 @ The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him: »Before the cockcrow this day you will deny me three times.«

nsb@Luke:22:66 @ The next day the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together. They included chief priests and scribes. They led him away to their council, saying:

nsb@Luke:22:67 @ »If you are the Christ, tell us.« But he said to them: »If I tell you, you will not believe:

nsb@Luke:22:70 @ They all asked: »Are you the Son of God?« He said to them: »You say that I am.«

nsb@Luke:23:2 @ They accused him, saying: »We found this man perverting our nation. He forbids payment of tax to Caesar. He claims to be Christ a king.«

nsb@Luke:23:4 @ Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds: »I find no fault in this man.«

nsb@Luke:23:5 @ They were more insistent saying: »He excites the people throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee even to this place.«

nsb@Luke:23:7 @ When he knew that he was from Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod. He was in Jerusalem at that time.

nsb@Luke:23:8 @ Herod was very happy to see Jesus. He had wanted to see him for a long time. He hoped to see him perform a miracle.

nsb@Luke:23:11 @ And Herod with his soldiers despised him with contempt, and mocked him. They arrayed him in magnificent apparel. Then they sent him back to Pilate.

nsb@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people.

nsb@Luke:23:14 @ He said: »You brought this man to me as one who perverted the people. I examined him before you and find no fault in this man. He has not done the things you accuse him of.

nsb@Luke:23:15 @ »Herod found no fault and sent him back to us. He has done nothing worthy of death.

nsb@Luke:23:17 @ He must release one prisoner to them at the feast.

nsb@Luke:23:18 @ They cried out in unison: »Take this man away and release to us Barabbas!«

nsb@Luke:23:19 @ He was thrown into prison for insurrection in the city and murder.

nsb@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate spoke to them again desiring to release Jesus.

nsb@Luke:23:22 @ A third time he said to them: »Why, what evil has this man done? I have found no reason to put him to death. I will therefore chastise him and release him.«

nsb@Luke:23:23 @ But they were insistent and spoke in loud voices asking him to impale him. And they prevailed.

nsb@Luke:23:25 @ He released the man who was in prison for insurrection and murder and he delivered Jesus to their will.

nsb@Luke:23:26 @ They led him away. Simon of Cyrene was traveling from the country. They seized him and forced him to carry the stake for Jesus.

nsb@Luke:23:28 @ Jesus turned to them and said: »Daughters of Jerusalem do not weep for me but weep for yourselves and for your children.

nsb@Luke:23:30 @ »Then they will say to the mountains fall on us and to the hills cover us.

nsb@Luke:23:32 @ Two criminals were to be put to death with him.

nsb@Luke:23:33 @ They came to the place called the skull. They impaled him and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

nsb@Luke:23:35 @ The people stood watching while the rulers scoffed at him, saying: »He saved others let him save himself if this is his chosen, the Christ of God.«

nsb@Luke:23:39 @ One of the criminals who were hanged complained bitterly to him saying: »Are you the Christ? Save yourself and us.«

nsb@Luke:23:43 @ He replied: »Today I tell you this. You will be with me in paradise.«

nsb@Luke:23:45 @ The sun failed to shine. The veil of the temple was torn in two.

nsb@Luke:23:46 @ Jesus cried with a loud voice: »Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.« After saying this he quit breathing.

nsb@Luke:23:49 @ All of his friends and the women who followed him from Galilee stood watching from a distance.

nsb@Luke:23:52 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nsb@Luke:23:53 @ He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then he laid him in a tomb that was carved in stone. No man had ever lain in this tomb.

nsb@Luke:23:55 @ The women from Galilee went with him to see the tomb and the place for the body.

nsb@Luke:23:56 @ They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

nsb@Luke:24:1 @ It was early in the morning on the first day of the week. They went to the tomb with the spices that they had prepared.

nsb@Luke:24:2 @ The stone was rolled away from the tomb.

nsb@Luke:24:4 @ They were perplexed about what had happened. Two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.

nsb@Luke:24:5 @ This frightened them and they bowed down prostrate on the ground. The two men said to them: »Why do you seek the living among the dead?

nsb@Luke:24:6 @ »He is not here. He has arisen! Remember how he spoke to you when he was yet in Galilee.

nsb@Luke:24:7 @ »He said the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be impaled, and the third day rise again.«

nsb@Luke:24:9 @ When they returned from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

nsb@Luke:24:10 @ They were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them. They told these things to the apostles.

nsb@Luke:24:11 @ These words seemed to be idle talk and they did not believe them.

nsb@Luke:24:12 @ Peter ran to the tomb. Looking inside he saw the linen cloths by themselves. He departed to his home, wondering about that which occurred.

nsb@Luke:24:13 @ That day two of them traveled to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

nsb@Luke:24:15 @ While they talked and discussed together Jesus came near and walked with them.

nsb@Luke:24:16 @ But their eyes did not permit them to recognize him.

nsb@Luke:24:17 @ He asked: »What are you talking about with each other as you walk?« They stopped walking and were sad.

nsb@Luke:24:19 @ He asked: »What things?« They said to him: »The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene. He was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people.

nsb@Luke:24:20 @ »The chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death. They impaled him!

nsb@Luke:24:22 @ »Some of the women of our company stunned us. They went to the tomb early.

nsb@Luke:24:24 @ »Others with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women said. He was not there!«

nsb@Luke:24:25 @ He said to them: »You are foolish men. You are slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

nsb@Luke:24:26 @ »Did the Christ need to suffer these things and enter into his glory?«

nsb@Luke:24:27 @ He explained to them all the Scriptures about the things concerning him. He spoke about Moses and all the prophets.

nsb@Luke:24:28 @ They approached the village where they were going and he appeared to be going further.

nsb@Luke:24:29 @ They persuaded him not to go saying, »Abide with us. It is nearly evening and the day is almost gone.« He stayed with them.

nsb@Luke:24:30 @ When he had sat down with them to eat he took the bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them.

nsb@Luke:24:32 @ They said to each other: »Were our hearts not burning within us? When he spoke to us in the way and opened the scriptures to us?«

nsb@Luke:24:33 @ They rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven gathered together with others.

nsb@Luke:24:34 @ »The Lord has risen indeed,« they said, »and he appeared to Simon.«

nsb@Luke:24:35 @ And they told the things that happened in the way, how they recognized him when he broke the bread.

nsb@Luke:24:36 @ As they spoke these things he stood in their midst and said: »May you have peace.«

nsb@Luke:24:38 @ He said to them, »Why are you troubled? And why do you question in your hearts?

nsb@Luke:24:39 @ »See my hands and my feet that it is I. Touch me and see. A spirit does not have flesh and bones like I have.«

nsb@Luke:24:41 @ While they still did not believe him but were filled with joy and wonder, he asked for something to eat.

nsb@Luke:24:43 @ He took it and ate it in front of them.

nsb@Luke:24:44 @ He said: »These are my words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you. All things must be fulfilled. They are things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me.«

nsb@Luke:24:47 @ »Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

nsb@Luke:24:49 @ »You see I send the promise of my Father upon you. You are to wait in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.«

nsb@Luke:24:51 @ While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

nsb@Luke:24:52 @ Filled with joy, they bowed down to him in adoration. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

nsb@John:1:4 @ He lived and his life gives light to all people.

nsb@John:1:7 @ He came to tell about the light and help people have faith.

nsb@John:1:8 @ Not being the light he came to give a witness of it.

nsb@John:1:9 @ The true light, which gives light to every man, came into the world. (Isaiah strkjv@49:6)

nsb@John:1:11 @ He came to his own. They did not receive him!

nsb@John:1:12 @ He gave the right to become children of God to all who received him. Even to those who believe in his name.

nsb@John:1:18 @ No man has ever seen God. The only begotten God-like one who is closest to the Father tells us about him. (Psalm strkjv@8:5)

nsb@John:1:22 @ They said to him: »Who are you? We need to know so we can tell the ones who sent us.«

nsb@John:1:25 @ They said to him: »Why do you baptize if you are not the Christ, not Elijah, and not the prophet?«

nsb@John:1:27 @ »I am not worthy to fasten his shoes.«

nsb@John:1:29 @ The next day he saw Jesus coming to him. He boldly declared: »Behold! The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!«

nsb@John:1:31 @ »I did not know him. I came baptizing in water so that everyone in Israel will come to know him.«

nsb@John:1:33 @ »I did not know he was the one. God sent me to baptize in water and said: ‘You will see one upon whom the spirit descends. The same is he who baptizes in Holy Spirit.’

nsb@John:1:41 @ He found his brother Simon first. He said to him: »We have found the Messiah.«

nsb@John:1:42 @ He took him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said: »You are Simon the son of John: you will be called Cephas.«

nsb@John:1:43 @ The next day he was reminded to go into Galilee. There he found Philip. Jesus said to him, »Follow me.«

nsb@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathanael, and said to him: »We have found the person Moses and the prophets wrote about in the Law and God’s word. It is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.«

nsb@John:1:46 @ And Nathanael said to him: »Could any good thing come out of Nazareth?« Philip said: »Come and see.«

nsb@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him. He said: »Look an Israelite indeed. There is no deceit in him!«

nsb@John:1:50 @ Jesus responded: »I told you I saw you under the fig tree. Is this why you believe? You will see greater things than these.«

nsb@John:2:2 @ Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage feast.

nsb@John:2:3 @ They ran out of wine. So the mother of Jesus said to him: »They have no wine.«

nsb@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her: »Woman what have I to do with you? My hour has not arrived.«

nsb@John:2:5 @ His mother told the servants to do whatever he says.

nsb@John:2:6 @ Six stone water jars were placed there to honor purification rules of the Jews. Each contained more than twenty gallons.

nsb@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them: »Fill the jars with water.« They filled them to the brim.

nsb@John:2:8 @ »Draw some out,« he said, »and take it to the master of the feast.« So they drew some out.

nsb@John:2:9 @ The master of the feast did not know about the water turned into wine. He tasted it and called the bridegroom.

nsb@John:2:10 @ He said to him: »Every man sets out the good wine first. When the men have drunk freely the lower quality wine is served. You have kept the good wine until now.«

nsb@John:2:12 @ He, his mother, brothers and disciples traveled to Capernaum. They stayed there many days.

nsb@John:2:13 @ The Passover of the Jews was at hand and Jesus went to Jerusalem.

nsb@John:2:16 @ He told those who sold doves: »Take these things away. Do not make my Father’s house a house of merchandise.«

nsb@John:2:20 @ The Jews responded: »It took forty-six years to build this temple and you will raise it up in three days?«

nsb@John:2:24 @ Jesus did not trust his security to them for he understood all men.

nsb@John:3:2 @ He came to Jesus by night, and said to him: »Rabbi! We know you are a teacher from God. No one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.«

nsb@John:3:5 @ Jesus responded: »I tell you truth, except a man be born of water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!

nsb@John:3:12 @ »If I told you earthly things and you did not have faith, how will you have faith if I tell you heavenly things?

nsb@John:3:21 @ »He who practices the truth comes to the light. His works are made known that they are from God.«

nsb@John:3:22 @ After these things Jesus and his disciples traveled to the land of Judea where he stayed with them and baptized.

nsb@John:3:23 @ John was also baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there. People came and were baptized.

nsb@John:3:24 @ John had not yet been thrown into prison.

nsb@John:4:4 @ He needed to travel through Samaria.

nsb@John:4:5 @ He arrived at a city of Samaria called Sychar. It is near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

nsb@John:4:7 @ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her: »Please give me a drink.«

nsb@John:4:8 @ His disciples went away to the city to buy meat.

nsb@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered: »If you know the gift of God and who asked you for a drink, you would have asked him to give you living water.«

nsb@John:4:16 @ Jesus said to her: »Go call your husband and come here.«

nsb@John:4:17 @ The woman answered: »I have no husband.« Jesus replied to her: »You said well, »I have no husband.«

nsb@John:4:28 @ The woman left her water pot and went to the city. She spoke to the men.

nsb@John:4:29 @ »Come see a man who told me everything I have ever done. Could this be the Christ?«

nsb@John:4:30 @ They left the city to see him.

nsb@John:4:31 @ In the meantime his disciples urged him to eat.

nsb@John:4:32 @ He said: »I have food to eat that you do not know about.«

nsb@John:4:33 @ So the disciples said to each other: »Has any man brought him something to eat?«

nsb@John:4:39 @ Many Samaritans of that city put faith in him because of what the woman said: »He told me everything I have ever done.«

nsb@John:4:40 @ When the Samaritans came to him they urged him to stay with them. So he stayed there two days.

nsb@John:4:42 @ They told the woman: »We believe because of what you said and we heard him ourselves. We know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world!«

nsb@John:4:43 @ After two days he departed from there and went to Galilee.

nsb@John:4:46 @ Jesus returned to Cana of Galilee where he turned the water into wine. There was a nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

nsb@John:4:47 @ He heard that Jesus came from Judea into Galilee. He went to him and urged him to come see his son. His son was near death.

nsb@John:4:50 @ Jesus replied: »Go your way. Your son lives!« The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

nsb@John:4:54 @ This is the second miracle that Jesus did when he came out of Judea into Galilee.

nsb@John:5:1 @ After this the Jews had a Festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nsb@John:5:2 @ There is a pool by the sheep-market gate at Jerusalem. It is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethzatha. It has five porches.

nsb@John:5:3 @ In these lay a great crowd of sick people, of blind and lame waiting for the water to bubble up.

nsb@John:5:6 @ Jesus saw him lying there. He knew that he had been sick for a long time. So he asked him: »Do you want to get well?«

nsb@John:5:7 @ The sick man replied: »I have no man to put me in the pool when the water is stirred. Others step down before I can go.«

nsb@John:5:10 @ So the Jews told the man who was cured: »It is not lawful for you to pickup your bed for it is the Sabbath.«

nsb@John:5:11 @ He answered: »He who made me whole told me to pick up my bed and walk.«

nsb@John:5:12 @ »Who is the man,« they asked, »that said to you pick up your bed and walk?«

nsb@John:5:14 @ Later Jesus found him in the temple and told him: »Now that you are healed do not sin anymore and avoid worse things happening to you.«

nsb@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the Jews Jesus made him whole.

nsb@John:5:17 @ Jesus responded to them: »My Father works until now and I work.«

nsb@John:5:18 @ The Jews intensified their efforts to kill him for these reasons: he broke the Sabbath and he also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

nsb@John:5:21 @ »The Father raises the dead and gives them life. The Son also gives life to those he wills.

nsb@John:5:22 @ »The Father does not judge any man for he has given all judgment to the Son.

nsb@John:5:24 @ »Truly, Truly I say to you, he who hears my word, and believes him that sent me, has everlasting life. He will not receive judgment for he has passed out of death into life.

nsb@John:5:27 @ »And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

nsb@John:5:33 @ »You sent people to John the Baptist and he has witnessed about the truth.

nsb@John:5:35 @ »He was the lamp that burns and shines. You were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

nsb@John:5:36 @ »The testimony I have is greater than that of John. The works I do are the works the Father gave me to accomplish. They testify that the Father has sent me.

nsb@John:5:40 @ »And yet you will not come to me that you may have life.

nsb@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

nsb@John:6:3 @ Jesus and his disciples went to the mountain.

nsb@John:6:5 @ Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to him. He asked Philip: »Where will we buy enough bread to feed them?«

nsb@John:6:6 @ He said this to test him for he knew what he would do.

nsb@John:6:7 @ Philip answered: »Two hundred shillings’ worth of bread is not sufficient for everyone to take a little.«

nsb@John:6:11 @ Jesus gave thanks and then he distributed the loaves along with the fish to those sitting on the grass.

nsb@John:6:12 @ When they were filled he told the disciples to gather up the broken pieces left over so nothing would be wasted.

nsb@John:6:13 @ They gathered twelve baskets of leftovers after everyone had eaten.

nsb@John:6:14 @ When the people saw the miracle performed they said: »Truly this is the prophet who came into the world.«

nsb@John:6:15 @ Jesus knew that they were about to take him by force and make him king. So he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

nsb@John:6:16 @ That evening his disciples went to the sea.

nsb@John:6:17 @ They boarded a boat to travel over the sea to Capernaum. It was dark and Jesus had not yet come to them.

nsb@John:6:19 @ They rowed about four miles and saw Jesus walking on the sea. He came close to the boat. They were afraid.

nsb@John:6:20 @ He said to them: »It is I. Do not be afraid!«

nsb@John:6:21 @ They eagerly brought him into the boat. The boat soon arrived at the land where they were going.

nsb@John:6:22 @ The next day the crowd stood by the side of the sea. Jesus entered the only boat while his disciples went away alone.

nsb@John:6:23 @ Small boats from Tiberias came there to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

nsb@John:6:24 @ When the crowd saw that Jesus and his disciples were not there they got into the boats and traveled to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

nsb@John:6:31 @ »Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness. It is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’«

nsb@John:6:33 @ »For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven. It gives life to the world.«

nsb@John:6:35 @ Jesus replied: »I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not hunger. The one who puts active faith in me will never thirst.

nsb@John:6:36 @ »I told you. You have seen me and yet do not believe.

nsb@John:6:37 @ »That which the Father gives me will come to me. I will not reject him who comes to me.

nsb@John:6:38 @ »I do not do my own will. I came down from heaven to do the will of him that sent me.

nsb@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered: »Stop complaining and saying things against me.

nsb@John:6:44 @ »No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him. I will resurrect him in the last day.

nsb@John:6:45 @ »It is written in the prophets: Jehovah shall teach them all. Every one who hears the Father and has learned comes to me. (Jeremiah strkjv@31:34)

nsb@John:6:52 @ The Jews argued with one another saying: »How can this man give us his flesh to eat?«

nsb@John:6:53 @ Jesus responded to them: »Truly I tell you if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you will not have life in yourselves.

nsb@John:6:60 @ When they heard this many of his disciples said: »This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?«

nsb@John:6:61 @ He knew his disciples complained about this. Jesus said: »Does this cause you to stumble?

nsb@John:6:63 @ »It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I spoke to you are spirit and life.

nsb@John:6:65 @ He stated: »For this reason listen to what I say. No man can come to me, except it be given to him from the Father.«

nsb@John:6:66 @ After this many of his disciples returned to their old ways. They did not walk with him anymore.

nsb@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him: »Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of everlasting life!

nsb@John:7:1 @ After that Jesus walked in Galilee. He would not walk in Judea because the Jews looked for ways to kill him.

nsb@John:7:3 @ His brothers said to him: »Leave here and go to Judea. That way your disciples also may see the works that you do.

nsb@John:7:4 @ »No one does anything in secret when he seeks to be known publicly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.«

nsb@John:7:7 @ »The world has no reason to hate you. But it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.

nsb@John:7:8 @ »You go to this feast. I will not go to this feast for my time has not yet come.«

nsb@John:7:9 @ When he said these words to them he stayed in Galilee.

nsb@John:7:10 @ When his brothers left he secretly went to the feast.

nsb@John:7:14 @ Midway through the feast Jesus went to the temple and taught.

nsb@John:7:19 @ »Did Moses give you the law? / Yet none of you obey the law! Why do you seek to kill me?«

nsb@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered: »You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?«

nsb@John:7:24 @ »Do not judge according to appearance! Judge a righteous judgment.«

nsb@John:7:25 @ Some in Jerusalem asked: »Is this he whom they seek to kill?

nsb@John:7:26 @ »He spoke openly and they said nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

nsb@John:7:30 @ They looked for a way to capture him. But no man laid his hand on him. This is because his hour had not yet arrived.

nsb@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things concerning him. The chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to capture him.

nsb@John:7:33 @ Jesus therefore said: »I am with you a little while. Then I go to him who sent me.

nsb@John:7:35 @ The Jews said among themselves: »Where will this man go that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

nsb@John:7:37 @ On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and shouted in a loud voice: »If any man thirst let him come to me and drink.

nsb@John:7:38 @ »Rivers of living water will flow from the innermost being of the man who believes in me. This is according to the scriptures.«

nsb@John:7:39 @ He spoke this by the Spirit. Those who believed in him were to receive the Spirit. The Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.

nsb@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to apprehend him. Yet no man laid hands on him.

nsb@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus spoke to them.

nsb@John:7:51 @ »Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to find out what he has done?«

nsb@John:8:12 @ Again Jesus spoke to them, saying: »I am the light of the world. He that follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.«

nsb@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees therefore replied to him: »You testify about yourself. Your evidence is not true!«

nsb@John:8:15 @ »You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

nsb@John:8:20 @ He spoke these words at the treasury as he taught in the temple. No one tried to arrest him because his hour had not yet arrived.

nsb@John:8:23 @ He responded to them: »You are from below. I am from above. You are from this world. I am not from this world.

nsb@John:8:24 @ »I said to you that you would die in your sins. Unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins!«

nsb@John:8:26 @ »I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. He that sent me is true. I tell the world the things he told me.«

nsb@John:8:27 @ They were not aware that he spoke to them about the Father.

nsb@John:8:29 @ »He sent me and is with me. He has not left me alone. I always do the things that are pleasing to him!«

nsb@John:8:31 @ Jesus told the Jews who believed him: »If you dwell in my word you truly are my disciples.

nsb@John:8:33 @ They answered him: »We are Abraham’s seed, and have never been in bondage to any man. How can you say we will be made free?«

nsb@John:8:37 @ »I know that you are Abraham’s seed. Yet you seek to kill me. That is because my word has no place among you.

nsb@John:8:40 @ »You seek to kill me. I told you the truth! I heard it from God. Abraham did not do this.

nsb@John:8:44 @ »You are from your father the Devil! You want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. He does not stand for the truth. There is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks his own lies. He is a liar and the father of the lie!

nsb@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him: »Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died. And you say if a man obeys my word he will never taste of death.

nsb@John:8:53 @ »Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died! The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?«

nsb@John:8:56 @ »Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.«

nsb@John:8:59 @ They took up stones to throw at him. But Jesus hid himself and left the temple.

nsb@John:9:7 @ He told him: »Go wash in the pool of Siloam.« He went there and washed. And he could see!

nsb@John:9:11 @ He answered: »The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam and wash. I went there and washed, and I received sight.«

nsb@John:9:13 @ They brought the former blind man to the Pharisees.

nsb@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees asked him how he received his sight. He said to them: « He put clay on my eyes, I washed and now I see.«

nsb@John:9:17 @ They spoke again to the former blind man. »What do you say about him?« He said: »He is a prophet.«

nsb@John:9:22 @ The parents said these things because they feared the Jews. The Jews had agreed that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

nsb@John:9:24 @ So they called the man that was blind a second time, and said to him: »Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.«

nsb@John:9:26 @ They asked: »What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?

nsb@John:9:27 @ He answered them: »I told you before and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Would you also become his disciples?«

nsb@John:9:28 @ Then they spoke abusively to him: »You are his disciple! We are disciples of Moses.«

nsb@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses. As for this man we do not know where he is from.

nsb@John:9:31 @ »We know that God does not listen to sinners. If any man respects God and does his will, God listens to him.

nsb@John:9:38 @ »Lord I believe,« he said. And he bowed down to him.

nsb@John:9:39 @ Jesus said: »I came into the world for this judgment that those not seeing may see and those seeing may become blind.«

nsb@John:9:40 @ Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him: »Are we also blind?«

nsb@John:10:3 @ »The doorkeeper opens to him and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his sheep by name and leads them.

nsb@John:10:6 @ They did not understand this illustration Jesus spoke to them.

nsb@John:10:8 @ »Thieves and robbers came in place of me but the sheep did not listen to them.

nsb@John:10:10 @ »The thief comes to steal, and kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

nsb@John:10:18 @ »No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment from my Father.«

nsb@John:10:20 @ Many of them said: »He has a demon and is mad. Why listen to him?«

nsb@John:10:24 @ The Jews came to him and asked: »How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.«

nsb@John:10:25 @ Jesus replied: »I told you and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness of me.

nsb@John:10:29 @ »My Father has given them to me. He is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

nsb@John:10:31 @ The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.

nsb@John:10:32 @ Jesus replied to them: »I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works do you stone me?«

nsb@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him: »We do not stone you for good work but for blasphemy. You are a man and you make yourself like God.« (John strkjv@1:1)

nsb@John:10:35 @ »So if he called them ‘god-like ones,’ those to whom the word of God came, and the Scriptures may not be annulled,

nsb@John:10:39 @ They tried again to capture him but he escaped from them.

nsb@John:10:40 @ He traveled beyond the Jordan into the place where John first baptized and stayed there.

nsb@John:10:41 @ Many came to him and they said: »John indeed did not perform a single miracle. Yet everything John said about this man was true.«

nsb@John:11:7 @ After this he said to the disciples: »Let us go to Judea again.«

nsb@John:11:8 @ The disciples said: »Rabbi, the Jews were seeking to stone you and you go there?«

nsb@John:11:11 @ Then he told them: »Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. I go to wake him out of sleep.«

nsb@John:11:15 @ »I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, for it will help you believe. Let us go to him.«

nsb@John:11:16 @ Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: »Let us also go that we may die with him.«

nsb@John:11:19 @ Many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to console them about their brother.

nsb@John:11:20 @ Martha went out to meet Jesus and Mary sat in the house.

nsb@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus: »Lord if you had been here my brother would not have died.

nsb@John:11:22 @ »Even now I know that what ever you ask of God he will give it to you.«

nsb@John:11:27 @ She said: »Yes Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who is to come into the world.«

nsb@John:11:29 @ Mary got up quickly and went to him.

nsb@John:11:31 @ The Jews were with her in the house, consoling her. They saw Mary get up quickly and leave. So they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

nsb@John:11:38 @ Again Jesus groaned in himself. He went to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid against it.

nsb@John:11:39 @ Jesus said: »Take away the stone.« Martha, the sister of the dead man said: »Lord by now the body has decayed for he has been dead four days.«

nsb@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her: »Did I not say that if you believe you shall see the glory of God?«

nsb@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said: »Father, I thank you that you hear me.

nsb@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what he did, believed in him.

nsb@John:11:46 @ Some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.

nsb@John:11:49 @ Caiaphas the high priest that year said to them: »You know nothing at all.

nsb@John:11:52 @ He would die for the nation. He would also gather together the children of God that are scattered abroad.

nsb@John:11:53 @ So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

nsb@John:11:54 @ Jesus did not walk openly among the Jews anymore. He departed into the wilderness of the nearby country. He and his disciples stayed at a city called Ephraim.

nsb@John:11:55 @ It was the Jewish Passover. Many went out of the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.

nsb@John:11:56 @ They searched for Jesus. They stood in the temple speaking to one another: »What do you think? Will he come to the feast?«

nsb@John:12:1 @ Six days before the Passover Jesus traveled to Bethany. This was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus raised from the dead.

nsb@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of very precious ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus. She wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

nsb@John:12:5 @ »Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred danarii, and given to the poor?«

nsb@John:12:6 @ He did not say this because he cared for the poor. He was a thief. He had the moneybox and took away what was put in it.

nsb@John:12:9 @ The common people of the Jews learned that he was there. So they came to see Jesus and Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead.

nsb@John:12:10 @ The chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death.

nsb@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd came to the feast. They heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

nsb@John:12:13 @ They took palm branches and met him. They cried out, »Hosanna: Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jehovah, even the King of Israel!« (Psalm strkjv@118:26)

nsb@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand these things at first. However when Jesus was glorified they remembered the things that were written about him. They also remembered the things that had been done to him.

nsb@John:12:17 @ The crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, gave witness.

nsb@John:12:20 @ Now there were Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.

nsb@John:12:21 @ They approached Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and told him: »We wish to see Jesus.«

nsb@John:12:22 @ Philip and Andrew told Jesus.

nsb@John:12:23 @ Jesus answered: »The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.

nsb@John:12:24 @ »Truly I tell you unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies it bears much fruit.

nsb@John:12:32 @ »When I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all men to myself.«

nsb@John:12:35 @ Jesus said to them: »The light will be with you for a little while. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

nsb@John:13:1 @ Jesus knew before the feast of the Passover that the time had come for him to leave this world and return to his Father. He loved his own who were in the world to the very end.

nsb@John:13:3 @ Jesus knew that the Father had given him power over all things. He also knew it came from God and he returns it to God.

nsb@John:13:4 @ He got up from the meal and laid aside his garments. He wrapped a towel around his waist.

nsb@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into the basin and washed the disciples’ feet. He wiped them with the towel he was wearing.

nsb@John:13:12 @ After he washed their feet he put his outer garments on and sat down. He asked: »Do you know what I have done to you?

nsb@John:13:15 @ »I have given you an example. You should also do as I have done to you.

nsb@John:13:20 @ »Truly I say to you, he who receives whom ever I send receives me. And he who receives me receives him who sent me.

nsb@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter motioned to him: »Ask him who it is,« he urged.

nsb@John:13:25 @ He leaned back on Jesus’ breast and said to him: »Lord, who is it?«

nsb@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered: »It is he to whom I give a piece of bread after I dip it.« So when he dipped the bread he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

nsb@John:13:27 @ After he was given the piece of bread Satan entered him. Jesus said to him: »Do what you do quickly.«

nsb@John:13:28 @ No man at the table knew for what purpose he spoke this to him.

nsb@John:13:29 @ Some thought Judas was going to shop for food for the feast or give something to the poor. Judas was in charge of the moneybox.

nsb@John:16:19 @ Jesus perceived what they wanted to ask him. He said to them: »You inquire among yourselves concerning what I said. A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?

nsb@John:18:1 @ When Jesus finished his prayer he and his disciples crossed the Kedron winter stream to a garden.

nsb@John:18:4 @ Jesus knew what was about to happen to him. He asked: »Whom do you seek?«

nsb@John:18:6 @ When he said to them I am he they drew back and fell to the ground.

nsb@John:18:8 @ Jesus answered: »I told you that I am he. If you seek me let these go their way.«

nsb@John:18:11 @ Jesus said to Peter: »Put the sword in the sheath. Shall I drink the cup the Father has given me?«

nsb@John:18:13 @ They led him to Annas first for he was father in law to Caiaphas who was high priest that year.

nsb@John:18:14 @ Caiaphas was the man who gave counsel to the Jews that it was for their benefit that one man should die for the people.

nsb@John:18:16 @ Peter stood outside the door. The disciple known by the high priest went out and spoke to the woman who kept the door and he brought in Peter.

nsb@John:18:18 @ It was cold. So the servants and officers warmed themselves by the fire. Peter also stood by the fire to get warm.

nsb@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him: »I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple where all the Jews gathered. I spoke nothing in secret.

nsb@John:18:21 @ »Why do you ask me? Ask them that heard me what I spoke to them. They know the things I said.«

nsb@John:18:24 @ Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

nsb@John:18:25 @ Simon Peter stood nearby warming himself. They asked him: »Are you also one of his disciples?« He denied it saying: »I am not.«

nsb@John:18:28 @ They lead Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early and they did not enter directly into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

nsb@John:18:29 @ Pilate went to them and asked: »What accusation do you make against this man?«

nsb@John:18:30 @ They answered: »If this man were not an evildoer we would not deliver him to you.«

nsb@John:18:31 @ Pilate replied: »Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.« The Jews said: »It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.«

nsb@John:18:33 @ Pilate entered again into the Praetorium. He called Jesus and asked him: »Are you the King of the Jews?«

nsb@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered: »Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me! What have you done?«

nsb@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered: »My kingdom is not of this world! If my kingdom were of this world my servants would fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews. My kingdom is not from this domain.«

nsb@John:18:37 @ Pilate said: »Are you a king then?« Jesus answered: »As you say I am a king. I was born and came into the world for this purpose, that I should bear witness to the truth! Every one who is of the truth hears my voice.«

nsb@John:18:38 @ Pilate then asked: »What is truth?« After saying this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them: »I find no fault in him.

nsb@John:18:39 @ »You have a custom that I release someone to you at the Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?«

nsb@John:19:1 @ Then Pilate took Jesus and whipped him.

nsb@John:19:3 @ They came to him, and said: »Hail, King of the Jews!« They struck him with their hands.

nsb@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again, and said to them: »Look, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him.«

nsb@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him: »We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.«

nsb@John:19:9 @ He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus: »Where are you from?« But Jesus gave him no answer.

nsb@John:19:10 @ Pilate said: »Will you not speak to me? Do you know I have the power to release you and the power to impale you?«

nsb@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him: »You would have no power against me except it was given you from above. Therefore he that delivered me to you has greater sin.«

nsb@John:19:12 @ As a result of this Pilate sought to release him. The Jews cried out: »If you release this man you are not Caesar’s friend. Every one that makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.«

nsb@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment-seat. They were at a place called The Stone Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

nsb@John:19:14 @ Now it was the Preparation of the Passover, about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews: »Behold, your King!«

nsb@John:19:16 @ Then he delivered him to them to be impaled.

nsb@John:19:17 @ They took Jesus bearing his own stake to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.

nsb@John:19:21 @ The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: »Do not write, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.«

nsb@John:19:23 @ After they impaled Jesus the soldiers took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier. The coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

nsb@John:19:24 @ They said to one another, Let us not tear the coat. So they cast lots for it. That fulfilled the scripture that said: »They parted my garments among them, and they cast lots for my covering.«

nsb@John:19:25 @ His mother stood by the stake of Jesus, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

nsb@John:19:26 @ Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved. He said to his mother, »Woman, look, your son!«

nsb@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, »Look, your mother!« That hour forward the disciple took her to his home.

nsb@John:19:29 @ A vessel full of vinegar was setting there. They put a sponge full of vinegar upon a hyssop branch and brought it to his mouth.

nsb@John:19:30 @ When Jesus received the vinegar, he said, »it is finished.« He bowed his head, and he stopped breathing.

nsb@John:19:33 @ When they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already so they did not break his legs.

nsb@John:19:36 @ These things came to pass in order that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken.

nsb@John:19:38 @ Joseph of Arimathaea was a disciple of Jesus. He approached Pilate secretly for fear of the Jews. He asked Pilate for permission to take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So he took the body away.

nsb@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus also came with a mixture of myrrh and about a hundred pounds of aloes. Nicodemus is the one who came to Jesus at night.

nsb@John:19:40 @ They prepared the body of Jesus for burial. They bound it in linen cloths with spices. This was the custom of the Jews.

nsb@John:19:41 @ There was a garden at the place where he was impaled. It contained a new tomb where no one had been buried.

nsb@John:20:1 @ Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb early on the first day of the week while it was still dark. She saw the stone was taken away from the tomb.

nsb@John:20:2 @ She ran to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them: »They have taken the Lord away out of the tomb. We do not know where they laid him.«

nsb@John:20:3 @ Peter and the other disciple went to the tomb.

nsb@John:20:4 @ They both ran together. The other disciple out ran Peter and got to the tomb first.

nsb@John:20:5 @ He stooped and looked inside where he saw the linen clothes. He did not enter.

nsb@John:20:6 @ Simon Peter followed him to the tomb and entered to see the linen clothes laying there.

nsb@John:20:8 @ The other disciple entered the tomb. He saw and believed.

nsb@John:20:10 @ The disciples went away again to their own home.

nsb@John:20:11 @ Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. She stooped and looked into the tomb.

nsb@John:20:13 @ »Woman why do you weep,« they asked? She told them: »They have taken my Lord and I do not know where they laid him.«

nsb@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her: »Woman, why do you weep? Who are you looking for?« She thought he was the gardener. She said: »Sir, if you have carried him somewhere else tell me where you laid him and I will take him away.«

nsb@John:20:16 @ Jesus said: »Mary.« She turned and said to him in Hebrew: »Rabboni,« which is to say, Teacher.

nsb@John:20:17 @ Jesus said: »Do not touch me for I am not yet ascended to the Father. Go to my brothers, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and you’re Father, and my God and your God.« (Revelation strkjv@3:12)

nsb@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene went to tell the disciples: »I have seen the Lord! He said these things to me.«

nsb@John:20:19 @ It was evening of the first day of the week. The disciples shut the doors where they stayed for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: »May you have Peace.«

nsb@John:20:21 @ Jesus therefore said to them again: »May you have peace. As the Father sent me, even so I send you.«

nsb@John:20:25 @ The other disciples therefore said to him: »We have seen the Lord.« He said: »Unless I feel the print of the nails in his hands and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.«

nsb@John:20:26 @ Eight days later the disciples were inside with the doors shut and Thomas was with them. Jesus came in and stood in the midst, and said: »Peace be with you.«

nsb@John:20:27 @ Jesus said to Thomas: »Put your finger here and look at my hands. Put your hand into my side. Stop doubting and believe!«

nsb@John:20:29 @ Jesus said to him: »Because you saw me, you believe. Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet believe!«

nsb@John:21:1 @ Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He presented himself this way.

nsb@John:21:2 @ There were together Simon Peter; Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

nsb@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them: »I am going fishing.« They told him: »We would also come with you.« They boarded the boat and caught nothing that night.

nsb@John:21:4 @ Jesus stood on the beach at daybreak. The disciples did not know it was Jesus.

nsb@John:21:5 @ Jesus said to them: »Children, have you anything to eat?« They answered him: »No.«

nsb@John:21:6 @ He said: »Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find fish.« They cast it and they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

nsb@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: »It is the Lord.« So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat about him, and jumped into the sea.

nsb@John:21:9 @ When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals and fish laid on it, and bread.

nsb@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went to draw the net to land. It was full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three in all. There were so many and yet the net was not torn.

nsb@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them: »Come and eat.« And none of the disciples dared to inquire, who are you? They just knew it was the Lord.

nsb@John:21:13 @ Jesus came, took the bread and fish and gave it to them.

nsb@John:21:15 @ When they had eaten Jesus said to Simon Peter: »Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?« He said: »Yes Lord; you know I have affection for you.« Jesus said to him: »Feed my lambs.«

nsb@John:21:16 @ He spoke to him a second time: »Simon, son of John, do you love me?« He replied: »Yes Lord, you know I have affection for you.« Then Jesus said: »Shepherd my sheep.«

nsb@John:21:17 @ The third time Jesus said to him: »Simon, son of John, do you have affection for me?« Peter was grieved. Because he said to him the third time, do you have affection for me? Peter replied: »Lord, you know all things; you know I have affection for you!« Jesus said to him: »Feed my sheep.«

nsb@John:21:18 @ »Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young you dressed yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you become old, you stretch out your hands and another dresses you, and carries you where you do not want to go.«

nsb@John:21:21 @ Seeing this Peter said to Jesus: Lord, what shall this man do?

nsb@John:21:22 @ Jesus said: »If it is my will that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.«

nsb@John:21:23 @ This expression went among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. Yet Jesus did not say that he should not die. He only said: »If I will that he stay until I come, what is that to you?«
