<verse osisID='Gen.1.1'>In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.2'>And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.3'>And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.4'>And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.5'>And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.6'>And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.7'>And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.8'>And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.9'>And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.10'>And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.11'>And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.12'>And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.13'>And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.14'>And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.15'>and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.16'>And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.17'>And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.18'>and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.19'>And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.20'>And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.21'>And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.22'>And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.23'>And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.24'>And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.25'>And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.26'>And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.27'>And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.28'>And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.29'>And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.30'>and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.1.31'>And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Gen.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.1'>And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.2'>And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.3'>And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.4'>These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.5'>And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.6'>but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.7'>And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.8'>And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.9'>And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.10'>And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.11'>The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.12'>and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.13'>And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.14'>And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.15'>And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.16'>And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.17'>but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.18'>And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.19'>And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.20'>And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help meet for him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.21'>And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.22'>and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.23'>And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.24'>Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.2.25'>And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Gen.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.1'>Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.2'>And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.3'>but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.4'>And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.5'>for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.6'>And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.7'>And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.8'>And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.9'>And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.10'>And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.11'>And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.12'>And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.13'>And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.14'>And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.15'>and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.16'>Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.17'>And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.18'>thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.19'>in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.20'>And the man called his wife`s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.21'>And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.22'>And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.23'>therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.3.24'>So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Gen.4'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.1'>And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with [the help of] Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.2'>And again she bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.3'>And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.4'>And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.5'>but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.6'>And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.7'>If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be its desire, but do thou rule over it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.8'>And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.9'>And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother`s keeper?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.10'>And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother`s blood crieth unto me from the ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.11'>And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother`s blood from thy hand;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.12'>when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.13'>And Cain said unto Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.14'>Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.15'>And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.16'>And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.17'>And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.18'>And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.19'>And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.20'>And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and [have] cattle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.21'>And his brother`s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.22'>And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.23'>And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: For I have slain a man for wounding me, And a young man for bruising me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.24'>If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.25'>And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth. For, [said she], God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.4.26'>And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.37.11'>And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.40.2'>And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.40.6'>And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.9'>And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.10'>and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; [and] the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.11'>and Pharaoh`s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh`s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh`s hand.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Gen.40.12'>And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.13'>within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh`s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.14'>But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.15'>for indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Gen.40.16'>When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head:</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.17'>and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.40.18'>And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.40.19'>within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.20'>And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh`s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Gen.40.21'>And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh`s hand:</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.41.9'>Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.10'>Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker:</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.41.12'>And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.41.14'>Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Gen.41.15'>And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.16'>And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.41.20'>and the lean and ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.22'>And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good:</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.41.26'>The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.27'>And the seven lean and ill-favored kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.28'>That is the thing which I spake unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do he hath showed unto Pharaoh.</verse>
|
||

<verse osisID='Gen.41.29'>Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.30'>and there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.31'>and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.32'>And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.33'>Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.34'>Let Pharaoh do [this], and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.35'>And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.36'>And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.37'>And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.</verse>
|

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.49'>And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering; for it was without number.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.41.52'>And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.55'>And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gen.41.56'>And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gen.41.57'>And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was sore in all the earth.</verse>

|

|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.1'>And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.2'>This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.3'>Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers` houses, a lamb for a household:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.4'>and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man`s eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.5'>Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.6'>and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.7'>And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.8'>And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.9'>Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.10'>And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.11'>And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah`s passover.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.12'>For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.13'>And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.14'>And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to Jehovah: throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.15'>Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.16'>And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.17'>And ye shall observe the [feast of] unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.18'>In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.19'>Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or one that is born in the land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.20'>Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.21'>Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.22'>And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.23'>For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.24'>And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.25'>And it shall come to pass, when ye are come to the land which Jehovah will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.26'>And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.27'>that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of Jehovah`s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.28'>And the children of Israel went and did so; as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.29'>And it came to pass at midnight, that Jehovah smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.30'>And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.31'>And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.32'>Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.33'>And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.34'>And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.35'>And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.36'>And Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.37'>And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.38'>And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.39'>And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.40'>Now the time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.41'>And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.42'>It is a night to be much observed unto Jehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Jehovah, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.43'>And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no foreigner eat thereof;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.44'>but every man`s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.45'>A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.46'>In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.47'>All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.48'>And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.49'>One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.50'>Thus did all the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.12.51'>And it came to pass the selfsame day, that Jehovah did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.16.2'>And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness:</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.16.4'>Then said Jehovah unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day`s portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.16.16'>This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.16.22'>And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.16.23'>And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.16.24'>And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm therein.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Exod.16.25'>And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Exod.16.26'>Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Exod.16.27'>And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.16.28'>And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Exod.16.29'>See, for that Jehovah hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.16.30'>So the people rested on the seventh day.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Exod.16.31'>And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers [made] with honey.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.16.33'>And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.17.4'>And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? They are almost ready to stone me.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.17.7'>And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.18.21'>Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.18.22'>and let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear [the burden] with thee.</verse>

<verse osisID='Exod.40.33'>And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Exod.40.34'>Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.</verse>

<verse osisID='Num.18.2'>And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony.</verse>

<verse osisID='Num.18.3'>And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Num.18.8'>And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.9'>This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.10'>As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof; every male shall eat thereof: it shall be holy unto thee.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Num.18.11'>And this is thine: the heave-offering of their gift, even all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.12'>All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give unto Jehovah, to thee have I given them.</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.15'>Everything that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine: nevertheless the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.16'>And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.17'>But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.18'>And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Num.18.19'>All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto Jehovah, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before Jehovah unto thee and to thy seed with thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.20'>And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.</verse>

<verse osisID='Num.18.21'>And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Num.18.23'>But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.24'>For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.25'>And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.26'>Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave-offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.27'>And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.28'>Thus ye also shall offer a heave-offering unto Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give Jehovah`s heave-offering to Aaron the priest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.29'>Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave-offering of Jehovah, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.30'>Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.31'>And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Num.18.32'>And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.</verse>

<verse osisID='Deut.1.28'>Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.</verse>

<verse osisID='Deut.1.42'>And Jehovah said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.</verse>

<verse osisID='Deut.1.43'>So I spake unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.</verse>

<verse osisID='Deut.1.44'>And the Amorites, that dwelt in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.6.24'>And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.7.2'>And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.8.1'>And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.2'>And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: set thee an ambush for the city behind it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.3'>So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them forth by night.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.4'>And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.5'>and I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city. And it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.6'>and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: so we will flee before them;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.7'>and ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.8'>And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do: see, I have commanded you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.9'>And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.10'>And Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.11'>And all the people, [even] the [men of] war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between him and Ai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.12'>And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.13'>So they set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers-in-wait that were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.14'>And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.15'>And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Josh.8.16'>And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.17'>And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.18'>And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.19'>And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and set the city on fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.20'>And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.21'>And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.22'>And the others came forth out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.23'>And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.24'>And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.25'>And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.26'>For Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.27'>Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey unto themselves, according unto the word of Jehovah which he commanded Joshua.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.28'>So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.29'>And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.30'>Then Joshua built an altar unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.31'>as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.32'>And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.33'>And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the sojourner as the homeborn; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.34'>And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.8.35'>There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners that were among them.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.9.5'>and old and patched shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become mouldy.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.9.6'>And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far country: now therefore make ye a covenant with us.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.9.11'>And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: and now make ye a covenant with us.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Josh.9.12'>This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy:</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.9.14'>And the men took of their provision, and asked not counsel at the mouth of Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.9.16'>And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Josh.9.17'>And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.9.18'>And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by Jehovah, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.9.19'>But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by Jehovah, the God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Josh.10'>
|

<verse osisID='Josh.10.1'>Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.2'>that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.3'>Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.4'>Come up unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.5'>Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.6'>And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.7'>So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.8'>And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.9'>Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; [for] he went up from Gilgal all the night.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.10'>And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and he slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.11'>And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.12'>Then spake Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.13'>And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.14'>And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of a man: for Jehovah fought for Israel.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.10.15'>And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.16'>And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.17'>And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.18'>And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.19'>but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for Jehovah your God hath delivered them into your hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.20'>And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.21'>that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.22'>Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.23'>And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.24'>And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Josh.10.25'>And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.26'>And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.27'>And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.28'>And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof: he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.</verse>
|

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.33'>Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.10.34'>And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it;</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Josh.10.35'>and they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.10.38'>And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it:</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.7'>So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.8'>And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.9'>And Joshua did unto them as Jehovah bade him: he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.10'>And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.11'>And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.12'>And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.14'>And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.15'>As Jehovah commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Josh.11.16'>So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill-country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.11.17'>from mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them to death.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.11.18'>Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Josh.11.19'>There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all in battle.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.11.20'>For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.11.21'>And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.11.22'>There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Josh.11.23'>So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah spake unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.20.1'>And Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Josh.20.2'>Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign you the cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by Moses,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.20.3'>that the manslayer that killeth any person unwittingly [and] unawares may flee thither: and they shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.20.4'>And he shall flee unto one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.20.5'>And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he smote his neighbor unawares, and hated him not beforetime.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.20.6'>And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the manslayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.20.7'>And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.20.8'>And beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.20.9'>These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person unwittingly might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.22.1'>Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.2'>and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened unto my voice in all that I commanded you:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.3'>ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.4'>And now Jehovah your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he spake unto them: therefore now turn ye, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.5'>Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.6'>So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went unto their tents.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.7'>Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan; but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond the Jordan westward; moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.8'>and spake unto them, saying, Return with much wealth unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.9'>And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.10'>And when they came unto the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look upon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.11'>And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertaineth to the children of Israel.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.12'>And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.22.13'>And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.14'>and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers` house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were every one of them head of their fathers` houses among the thousands of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.15'>And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.16'>Thus saith the whole congregation of Jehovah, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have builded you an altar, to rebel this day against Jehovah?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.17'>Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves unto this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of Jehovah,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.18'>that ye must turn away this day from following Jehovah? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to-day against Jehovah, that to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.19'>Howbeit, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of Jehovah, wherein Jehovah`s tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against Jehovah, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.20'>Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.21'>Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.22'>The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, the Mighty One, God, Jehovah, he knoweth; and Israel he shall know: if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah (save thou us not this day,)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.23'>that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Jehovah; or if to offer thereon burnt-offering or meal-offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace-offerings thereon, let Jehovah himself require it;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.24'>and if we have not [rather] out of carefulness done this, [and] of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah, the God of Israel?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.25'>for Jehovah hath made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no portion in Jehovah: so might your children make our children cease from fearing Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.26'>Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.27'>but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.28'>Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.29'>Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn away this day from following Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for meal-offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.30'>And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them well.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.31'>And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that Jehovah is in the midst of us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.32'>And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.33'>And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spake no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.22.34'>And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: For, [said they], it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God.</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.23.2'>that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and well stricken in years:</verse>

<verse osisID='Josh.24.15'>And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.16'>And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.17'>for Jehovah our God, he it is that brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and that did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.18'>and Jehovah drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites that dwelt in the land: therefore we also will serve Jehovah; for he is our God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.19'>And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgression nor your sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.20'>If ye forsake Jehovah, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.21'>And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.22'>And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.23'>Now therefore put away, [said he], the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, the God of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.24'>And the people said unto Joshua, Jehovah our God will we serve, and unto his voice will we hearken.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.25'>So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.26'>And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.27'>And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it hath heard all the words of Jehovah which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest ye deny your God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.28'>So Joshua sent the people away, every man unto his inheritance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.29'>And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.30'>And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.31'>And Israel served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Jehovah, that he had wrought for Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.32'>And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money: and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Josh.24.33'>And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill-country of Ephraim.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Judg.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.1'>And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of Jehovah, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.2'>And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.3'>And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.4'>And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.5'>And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.6'>But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.7'>And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.8'>And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.9'>And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in the hill-country, and in the South, and in the lowland.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.10'>And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba); and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.11'>And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.12'>And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.13'>And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb`s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.14'>And it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.15'>And she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.16'>And the children of the Kenite, Moses` brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.17'>And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.18'>Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.19'>And Jehovah was with Judah; and drove out [the inhabitants of] the hill-country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.20'>And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out thence the three sons of Anak.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.21'>And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.22'>And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el; and Jehovah was with them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.23'>And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.24'>And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.25'>And he showed them the entrance into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.26'>And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof unto this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.27'>And Manasseh did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and its towns, nor [of] Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.28'>And it came to pass, when Israel was waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.29'>And Ephraim drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.30'>Zebulun drove not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became subject to taskwork.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.31'>Asher drove not out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.32'>but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.33'>Naphtali drove not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to taskwork.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.34'>And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.35'>but the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to taskwork.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.1.36'>And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Judg.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.1'>And the angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.2'>and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice: why have ye done this?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.3'>Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.4'>And it came to pass, when the angel of Jehovah spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.5'>And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.6'>Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.7'>And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.8'>And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.9'>And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.10'>And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, that knew not Jehovah, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.11'>And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.12'>and they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah to anger.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.13'>And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.14'>And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.15'>Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had spoken, and as Jehovah had sworn unto them: and they were sore distressed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.16'>And Jehovah raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that despoiled them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.17'>And yet they hearkened not unto their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods, and bowed themselves down unto them: they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; [but] they did not so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.18'>And when Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented Jehovah because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.19'>But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubborn way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.20'>And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.21'>I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.22'>that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.2.23'>So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.</verse>

</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Judg.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.1'>Now these are the nations which Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, even as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.2'>only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.3'>[namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.4'>And they were [left], to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.5'>And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.6'>and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.7'>And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgat Jehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.8'>Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.9'>And when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb`s younger brother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.10'>And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.11'>And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.12'>And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.13'>And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.14'>And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.15'>But when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. And the children of Israel sent tribute by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.16'>And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.17'>And he offered the tribute unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.18'>And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bare the tribute.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.19'>But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.20'>And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.21'>And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.22'>and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.23'>Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.24'>Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.25'>And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened [them], and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.26'>And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.27'>And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.28'>And he said unto them, Follow after me; for Jehovah hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.29'>And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.30'>So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.3.31'>And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad: and he also saved Israel.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Judg.4'>
|

|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.1'>And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud was dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.2'>And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.3'>And the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.4'>Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.5'>And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.6'>And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded, [saying], Go and draw unto mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.7'>And I will draw unto thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin`s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Judg.4.8'>And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.9'>And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding, the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.10'>And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.11'>Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.4.12'>And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.6.26'>and build an altar unto Jehovah thy God upon the top of this stronghold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.6.27'>Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had spoken unto him: and it came to pass, because he feared his father`s household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.</verse>

<verse osisID='Judg.6.28'>And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.</verse>

<verse osisID='Judg.6.31'>And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye contend for Baal? Or will ye save him? he that will contend for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he be a god, let him contend for himself, because one hath broken down his altar.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.6.38'>And it was so; for he rose up early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water.</verse>

<verse osisID='Judg.6.39'>And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: let me make trial, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Judg.7'>
|

<verse osisID='Judg.7.1'>Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.2'>And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.3'>Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.4'>And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.5'>So he brought down the people unto the water: and Jehovah said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.6'>And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.7'>And Jehovah said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.8'>So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.9'>And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.</verse>

<verse osisID='Judg.7.10'>But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp:</verse>
|
||
|

<verse osisID='Judg.7.11'>and thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down into the camp. Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.12'>And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.13'>And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his fellow; and he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream; and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.14'>And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.15'>And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for Jehovah hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.16'>And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.17'>And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.</verse>

<verse osisID='Judg.7.19'>So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.20'>And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.22'>And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah set every man`s sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.23'>And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.</verse>

So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, even the Jordan.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.7.25'>And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.9.49'>And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.</verse>

<verse osisID='Judg.20.22'>And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.23'>And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even; and they asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Judg.20.24'>And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.</verse>

<verse osisID='Judg.20.26'>Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.27'>And the children of Israel asked of Jehovah (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Judg.20.28'>and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up; for to-morrow I will deliver him into thy hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.29'>And Israel set liers-in-wait against Gibeah round about.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.30'>And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.31'>And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.32'>And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them away from the city unto the highways.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.33'>And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers-in-wait of Israel brake forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.34'>And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore; but they knew not that evil was close upon them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.35'>And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men: all these drew the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.36'>So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten; for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers-in-wait whom they had set against Gibeah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.37'>And the liers-in-wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers-in-wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.38'>Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers-in-wait was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.39'>And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.40'>But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and, behold, the whole of the city went up [in smoke] to heaven.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.41'>And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that evil was come upon them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.42'>Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.43'>They inclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trod them down at [their] resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.44'>And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these [were] men of valor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.45'>And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.46'>So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these [were] men of valor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.47'>But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Judg.20.48'>And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Ruth.1'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.1'>And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.2'>And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.3'>And Elimelech, Naomi`s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.4'>And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.5'>And Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.6'>Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.7'>And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.8'>And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother`s house: Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.9'>Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.10'>And they said unto her, Nay, but we will return with thee unto thy people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.11'>And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.12'>Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should even have a husband to-night, and should also bear sons;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.13'>would ye therefore tarry till they were grown? would ye therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters, for it grieveth me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah is gone forth against me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.14'>And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.15'>And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god: return thou after thy sister-in-law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.16'>And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.17'>where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.18'>And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.19'>So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and [the women] said, Is this Naomi?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.20'>And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.21'>I went out full, and Jehovah hath brought me home again empty; why call ye me Naomi, seeing Jehovah hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.1.22'>So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Ruth.2'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.1'>And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband`s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.2'>And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.3'>And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.4'>And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah bless thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.5'>Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.6'>And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.7'>And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.8'>Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.9'>Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.10'>Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found favor in thy sight, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.11'>And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people that thou knewest not heretofore.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.12'>Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.13'>Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly unto thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.14'>And at meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.15'>And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.16'>And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.17'>So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.18'>And she took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.19'>And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man`s name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.20'>And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.21'>And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.22'>And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they meet thee not in any other field.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.2.23'>So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Ruth.3'>
|

<verse osisID='Ruth.3.1'>And Naomi her mother-in-law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.2'>And now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to-night in the threshing-floor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.3'>Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the threshing-floor, but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.4'>And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ruth.3.5'>And she said unto her, All that thou sayest I will do.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ruth.3.6'>And she went down unto the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law bade her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.7'>And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.8'>And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself; and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.9'>And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.10'>And he said, Blessed be thou of Jehovah, my daughter: thou hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.11'>And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou sayest; for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a worthy woman.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.12'>And now it is true that I am a near kinsman; howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.13'>Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman`s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as Jehovah liveth: lie down until the morning.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.14'>And she lay at his feet until the morning. And she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.3.15'>And he said, Bring the mantle that is upon thee, and hold it; and she held it; and he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid it on her: and he went into the city.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ruth.3.16'>And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ruth.4.1'>Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.2'>And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.3'>And he said unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech`s:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.4'>And I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.5'>Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.6'>And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.7'>Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.8'>So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.9'>And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech`s, and all that was Chilion`s and Mahlon`s, of the hand of Naomi.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.10'>Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.11'>And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Jehovah make the woman that is come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.12'>and let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of this young woman.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.13'>So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bare a son.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.14'>And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah, who hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.15'>And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.16'>And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.17'>And the women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ruth.4.18'>Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron,</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ruth.4.19'>and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,</verse>
|

<chapter osisID='1Sam.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.1'>Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.2'>and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.3'>And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice unto Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto Jehovah, were there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.4'>And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.5'>but unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Jehovah had shut up her womb.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.6'>And her rival provoked her sore, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.7'>And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Jehovah, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.8'>And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.9'>So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting upon his seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.10'>And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto Jehovah, and wept sore.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.11'>And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him unto Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.12'>And it came to pass, as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.13'>Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.14'>And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.15'>And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.16'>Count not thy handmaid for a wicked woman; for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.17'>Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou hast asked of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.18'>And she said, Let thy handmaid find favor in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat; and her countenance was no more [sad].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.19'>And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Jehovah, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.20'>And it came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bare a son; and she called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.21'>And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto Jehovah the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.22'>But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned; and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah, and there abide for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.23'>And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only Jehovah establish his word. So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.24'>And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of Jehovah in Shiloh: and the child was young.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.25'>And they slew the bullock, and brought the child to Eli.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.26'>And she said, Oh, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.27'>For this child I prayed; and Jehovah hath given me my petition which I asked of him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.1.28'>therefore also I have granted him to Jehovah; as long as he liveth he is granted to Jehovah. And he worshipped Jehovah there.</verse>

|
|
<chapter osisID='1Sam.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.1'>And Hannah prayed, and said: My heart exulteth in Jehovah; My horn is exalted in Jehovah; My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; Because I rejoice in thy salvation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.2'>There is none holy as Jehovah; For there is none besides thee, Neither is there any rock like our God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.3'>Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a God of knowledge, And by him actions are weighed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.4'>The bows of the mighty men are broken; And they that stumbled are girded with strength.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.5'>They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; And they that were hungry have ceased [to hunger]: Yea, the barren hath borne seven; And she that hath many children languisheth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.6'>Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive: He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.7'>Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, he also lifteth up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.8'>He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, And inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah`s, And he hath set the world upon them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.9'>He will keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.10'>They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; Against them will he thunder in heaven: Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth; And he will give strength unto his king, And exalt the horn of his anointed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.11'>And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto Jehovah before Eli the priest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.12'>Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.13'>And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest`s servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.14'>and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.15'>Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priest`s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have boiled flesh of thee, but raw.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.16'>And if the man said unto him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would say, Nay, but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.17'>And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for the men despised the offering of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.18'>But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.19'>Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.20'>And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed of this woman for the petition which was asked of Jehovah. And they went unto their own home.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.21'>And Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.22'>Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.23'>And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.24'>Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make Jehovah`s people to transgress.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.25'>If one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because Jehovah was minded to slay them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.26'>And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.27'>And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Did I reveal myself unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt [in bondage] to Pharaoh`s house?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.28'>and did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up unto mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.29'>Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in [my] habitation, and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.30'>Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now Jehovah saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.31'>Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father`s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.32'>And thou shalt behold the affliction of [my] habitation, in all the wealth which [God] shall give Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.33'>And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart; and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.34'>And this shall be the sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.35'>And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.2.36'>And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests` offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.</verse>

<chapter osisID='1Sam.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.1'>And the child Samuel ministered unto Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.2'>And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to wax dim, so that he could not see),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.3'>and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down [to sleep], in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.4'>that Jehovah called Samuel; and he said, Here am I.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.5'>And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.6'>And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.7'>Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.8'>And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.9'>Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.10'>And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.11'>And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.12'>In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.13'>For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.14'>And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli`s house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.15'>And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.16'>Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.17'>And he said, What is the thing that [Jehovah] hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spake unto thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.18'>And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.19'>And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.20'>And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.3.21'>And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.</verse>

</chapter>
|

|
<chapter osisID='1Sam.4'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.1'>And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.2'>And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines; and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.3'>And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh unto us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.4'>So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who sitteth [above] the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.5'>And when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.6'>And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of Jehovah was come into the camp.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.7'>And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.8'>Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.9'>Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.10'>And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.11'>And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.12'>And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.13'>And when he came, lo, Eli was sitting upon his seat by the wayside watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.14'>And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man hasted, and came and told Eli.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.4.15'>Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were set, so that he could not see.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.9'>And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.10'>And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.10.11'>And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.10.12'>And one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.14'>And Saul`s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.15'>And Saul`s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.16'>And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.17'>And Samuel called the people together unto Jehovah to Mizpah;</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.18'>and he said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.10.19'>but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto him, [Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.10.20'>So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.21'>And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.10.22'>Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.10.23'>And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.10.24'>And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah hath chosen, that there is none like him along all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, [Long] live the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.10.25'>Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.10.26'>And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the host, whose hearts God had touched.</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.2'>Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel, whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.3'>And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba: and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.4'>And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.5'>And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.6'>When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in coverts, and in pits.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.7'>Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.8'>And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.9'>And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt-offering to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.10'>And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.11'>And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.12'>therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.13'>And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.14'>But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.15'>And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.16'>And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.17'>And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.18'>and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.19'>Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.20'>but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.13.21'>yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.13.22'>So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.13.23'>And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.2'>And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.3'>and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod`s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.4'>And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines` garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.5'>The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.6'>And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.7'>And his armorbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.8'>Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto the men, and we will disclose ourselves unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.9'>If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.10'>But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up; for Jehovah hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be the sign unto us.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.11'>And both of them disclosed themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.12'>And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armorbearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.13'>And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armorbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armorbearer slew them after him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.14'>And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armorbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow`s length in an acre of land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.15'>And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.16'>And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went [hither] and thither.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.17'>Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.18'>And Saul said unto Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was [there] at that time with the children of Israel.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.19'>And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.20'>And Saul and all the people that were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and, behold, every man`s sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.21'>Now the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as beforetime, and that went up with them into the camp, [from the country] round about, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.22'>Likewise all the men of Israel that had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.23'>So Jehovah saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.24'>And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.25'>And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey upon the ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.26'>And when the people were come unto the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.27'>But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.28'>Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day. And the people were faint.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.29'>Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.30'>How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now hath there been no great slaughter among the Philistines.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.31'>And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.32'>and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground; and the people did eat them with the blood.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.34'>And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.35'>And Saul built an altar unto Jehovah: the same was the first altar that he built unto Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.36'>And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.37'>And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.39'>For, as Jehovah liveth, who saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.40'>Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.41'>Therefore Saul said unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken [by lot]; but the people escaped.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.43'>Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, lo, I must die.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.44'>And Saul said, God do so and more also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.45'>And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.46'>Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.47'>Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he put [them] to the worse.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.48'>And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that despoiled them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.49'>Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.14.50'>and the name of Saul`s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his host was Abner the son of Ner, Saul`s uncle.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.14.51'>And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.15.1'>And Samuel said unto Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.15.2'>Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, I have marked that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.15.3'>Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.4'>And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.15.5'>And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.6'>And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.7'>And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is before Egypt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.8'>And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.9'>But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.10'>Then came the word of Jehovah unto Samuel, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.11'>It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And Samuel was wroth; and he cried unto Jehovah all night.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.12'>And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a monument, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.13'>And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of Jehovah: I have performed the commandment of Jehovah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.14'>And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.15'>And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.16'>Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what Jehovah hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.17'>And Samuel said, Though thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.18'>and Jehovah sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.19'>Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of Jehovah, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.20'>And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.21'>But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God in Gilgal.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.22'>And Samuel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.23'>For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.24'>And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.25'>Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.26'>And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.27'>And as Samuel turned about to go away, [Saul] laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it rent.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.28'>And Samuel said unto him, Jehovah hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.29'>And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.30'>Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.31'>So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.32'>Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him cheerfully. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.33'>And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.15.34'>Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.16.2'>And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And Jehovah said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.16.4'>And Samuel did that which Jehovah spake, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Comest thou peaceably?</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.16.5'>And he said, Peaceably; I am come to sacrifice unto Jehovah: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.16.6'>And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah`s anointed is before him.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.16.7'>But Jehovah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for [Jehovah seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.16.8'>Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath Jehovah chosen this.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.16.12'>And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look upon. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.16.13'>Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.17.45'>Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.17.46'>This day will Jehovah deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day unto the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.17.50'>So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.17.51'>Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.19.5'>for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.1'>And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.2'>And he said unto him, Far from it; thou shalt not die: behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.3'>And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found favor in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.4'>Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.5'>And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.6'>If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.7'>If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.8'>Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee: but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.9'>And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.10'>Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.11'>And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.12'>And Jonathan said unto David, Jehovah, the God of Israel, [be witness]: when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, [or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.13'>Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and Jehovah be with thee, as he hath been with my father.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.15'>but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when Jehovah hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.16'>So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying], And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David`s enemies.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.17'>And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.18'>Then Jonathan said unto him, To-morrow is the new moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.19'>And when thou hast stayed three days, thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.20'>And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.21'>And, behold, I will send the lad, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee; take them, and come; for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as Jehovah liveth.</verse>

||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.22'>But if I say thus unto the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way; for Jehovah hath sent thee away.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.23'>And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between thee and me for ever.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.24'>So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.25'>And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul`s side: but David`s place was empty.</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.27'>And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, [which was] the second [day], that David`s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to-day?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.28'>And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.29'>and he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me [to be there]: and now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king`s table.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.30'>Then Saul`s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother`s nakedness?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.31'>For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.32'>And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.33'>And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that is was determined of his father to put David to death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.34'>So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.35'>And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.36'>And he said unto his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.37'>And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.38'>And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan`s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.39'>But the lad knew not anything: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.20.40'>And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.41'>And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Sam.20.42'>And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='1Sam.31.4'>Then said Saul to his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Sam.31.5'>And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died with him.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='2Sam.1.1'>And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.2'>it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.3'>And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.4'>And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.5'>And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.6'>And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.7'>And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.8'>And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.9'>And he said unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me; for anguish hath taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.10'>So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.11'>Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.12'>and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.13'>And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.14'>And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah`s anointed?</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.15'>And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him, so that he died.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.16'>And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah`s anointed.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.1.19'>Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.21'>Ye mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.22'>From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.1.23'>Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they were not divided: They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.1.24'>Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet delicately, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Sam.1.25'>How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Sam.2.1'>And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.2'>So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.3'>And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.4'>And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.5'>And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.6'>And now Jehovah show lovingkindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.7'>Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.8'>Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul`s host, had taken Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.9'>and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.10'>Ish-bosheth, Saul`s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.11'>And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.12'>And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.13'>And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.14'>And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men, I pray thee, arise and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.15'>Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.16'>And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow`s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.17'>And the battle was very sore that day: and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.18'>And the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.19'>And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.20'>Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Is it thou, Asahel? And he answered, It is I.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.21'>And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.22'>And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.23'>Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.24'>But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.25'>And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.26'>Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.27'>And Joab said, As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed every one his brother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.28'>So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.29'>And Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.30'>And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David`s servants nineteen men and Asahel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.31'>But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner`s men, [so that] three hundred and threescore men died.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.2.32'>And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and the day brake upon them at Hebron.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Sam.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.1'>Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: and David waxed stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.2'>And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his first-born was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.3'>and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.4'>and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.5'>and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David`s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.6'>And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong in the house of Saul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.7'>Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and [Ish-bosheth] said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father`s concubine?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.8'>Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog`s head that belongeth to Judah? This day do I show kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David; and yet thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.9'>God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah hath sworn to David, I do not even so to him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.10'>to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.11'>And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.12'>And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also], Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.13'>And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee; but one thing I require of thee: that is, thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal, Saul`s daughter, when thou comest to see my face.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.14'>And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul`s son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.15'>And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.16'>And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return: and he returned.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.17'>And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, In times past ye sought for David to be king over you:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.18'>now then do it; for Jehovah hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.19'>And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.20'>So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.21'>And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.22'>And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a foray, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.23'>When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.24'>Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.25'>Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.26'>And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.27'>And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.28'>And afterward, when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.29'>let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father`s house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.30'>So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.31'>And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.32'>And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.33'>And the king lamented for Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dieth?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.34'>Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: As a man falleth before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people wept again over him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.35'>And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David sware, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or aught else, till the sun be down.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.36'>And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.37'>So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.38'>And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.3.39'>And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.4.1'>And when [Ish-bosheth], Saul`s son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.4.2'>And [Ish-bosheth], Saul`s son, [had] two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin:</verse>

And his name was Mephibosheth.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.10.6'>And when the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.10.7'>And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.10.8'>And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Sam.10.9'>Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.10.10'>And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.10.11'>And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.10.12'>Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and Jehovah do that which seemeth him good.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.10.13'>So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.10.14'>And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.10.15'>And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.10.17'>And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.10.18'>And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, so that he died there.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.10.19'>And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.11.2'>And it came to pass at eventide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king`s house: and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.11.3'>And David send and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.11.21'>who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.1'>And Jehovah sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.2'>The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.3'>but the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.4'>And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him, but took the poor man`s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.5'>And David`s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah liveth, the man that hath done this is worthy to die:</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.6'>and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.</verse>
|
||
|

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.7'>And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.8'>and I gave thee thy master`s house, and thy master`s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added unto thee such and such things.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.9'>Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.10'>Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.11'>Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house; and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.12'>For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.13'>And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said unto David, Jehovah also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.16'>David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.17'>And the elders of his house arose, [and stood] beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.18'>And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.12.19'>But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.20'>Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel; and he came into the house of Jehovah, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.23'>But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.30'>And he took the crown of their king from off his head; and the weight thereof was a talent of gold, and [in it were] precious stones; and it was set on David`s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Sam.12.31'>And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon.

<verse osisID='2Sam.13.1'>And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.2'>And Amnon was so vexed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything unto her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.3'>But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David`s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.4'>And he said unto him, Why, O son of the king, art thou thus lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom`s sister.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.5'>And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.6'>So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, Let her sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.7'>Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon`s house, and dress him food.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.8'>So Tamar went to her brother Amnon`s house; and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.9'>And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.13.10'>And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.11'>And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come, lie with me, my sister.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.12'>And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.13'>And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.15'>Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.16'>And she said unto him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is [worse] than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.13.17'>Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.18'>And she had a garment of divers colors upon her; for with such robes were the king`s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.19'>And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.20'>And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now hold thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom`s house.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.29'>And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king`s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.13.31'>Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.32'>And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David`s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king`s sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.33'>Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king`s sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.13.34'>But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.13.35'>And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king`s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.13.36'>And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king`s sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.13.37'>But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.14.6'>And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and killed him.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.14.7'>And, behold, the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they say, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and so destroy the heir also. Thus will they quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.8'>And the king said unto the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.14.9'>And the woman of Tekoa said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father`s house; and the king and his throne be guiltless.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.14.10'>And the king said, Whosoever saith aught unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.11'>Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember Jehovah thy God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.12'>Then the woman said, Let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak a word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.13'>And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one that is guilty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished one.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.14'>For we must needs die, and are as water split on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God take away life, but deviseth means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.15'>Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.16'>For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.17'>Then thy handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and Jehovah thy God be with thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.18'>Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, aught that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.19'>And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.20'>to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.21'>And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.22'>And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found favor in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of his servant.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.23'>So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.24'>And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king`s face.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.25'>Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.26'>And when he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year`s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it); he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king`s weight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.27'>And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.28'>And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem; and he saw not the king`s face.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.29'>Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.30'>Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab`s field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom`s servants set the field on fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.31'>Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.32'>And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king`s face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.14.33'>So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.15.2'>And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.18.2'>And David sent forth the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab`s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.18.3'>But the people said, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but thou art worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succor us out of the city.</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='2Sam.18.4'>And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate-side, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.18.5'>And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.</verse>

And Absalom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between heaven and earth; and the mule that was under him went on.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.18.10'>And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.18.11'>And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest it, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten [pieces of] silver, and a girdle.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.18.12'>And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand [pieces of] silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king`s son; for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.18.29'>And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king`s servant, even me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.18.30'>And the king said, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.19.7'>Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry a man with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Sam.24.21'>And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.24.22'>And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments and the yokes of the oxen for the wood:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.24.23'>all this, O king, doth Araunah give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.24.24'>And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price. Neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah my God which cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Sam.24.25'>And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So Jehovah was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.1'>Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.2'>Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.3'>So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.4'>And the damsel was very fair; and she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.5'>Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.6'>And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he was also a very goodly man; and he was born after Absalom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.7'>And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.8'>But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men that belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.9'>And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brethren, the king`s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king`s servants:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.10'>but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.11'>Then Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.12'>Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.13'>Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.14'>Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.15'>And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering unto the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.16'>And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.17'>And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by Jehovah thy God unto thy handmaid, [saying], Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.18'>And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and thou, my lord the king, knowest it not:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.19'>and he hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.20'>And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.21'>Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.22'>And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.23'>And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.24'>And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.25'>For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king`s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, [Long] live king Adonijah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.26'>But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.27'>Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not showed unto thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.28'>Then king David answered and said, Call to me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king`s presence, and stood before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.29'>And the king sware, and said, As Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.30'>verily as I sware unto thee by Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; verily so will I do this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.31'>Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.32'>And king David said, Call to me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.33'>And the king said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.34'>and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow ye the trumpet, and say, [Long] live king Solomon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.35'>Then ye shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.36'>And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so [too].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.37'>As Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.38'>So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David`s mule, and brought him to Gihon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.39'>And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, [Long] live king Solomon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.40'>And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.41'>And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.42'>While he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and bringest good tidings.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.43'>And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.44'>and the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride upon the king`s mule;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.45'>and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.46'>And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.47'>And moreover the king`s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne: and the king bowed himself upon the bed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.48'>And also thus said the king, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.49'>And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.50'>And Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.51'>And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon; for, lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.52'>And Solomon said, If he shall show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.1.53'>So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and did obeisance to king Solomon; and Solomon said unto him, Go to thy house.</verse>

<chapter osisID='1Kgs.2'>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.1'>Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.2'>I am going the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;</verse>
|
||
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.3'>and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, [and] his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.4'>That Jehovah may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.5'>Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.6'>Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.7'>But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.8'>And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I sware to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.9'>Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.10'>And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.11'>And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.12'>And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.13'>Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.14'>He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.15'>And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother`s; for it was his from Jehovah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.16'>And now I ask one petition of thee; deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.17'>And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king (for he will not say thee nay), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.18'>And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.19'>Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king`s mother; and she sat on his right hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.20'>Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.21'>And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.22'>And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.23'>Then king Solomon sware by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah hath not spoken this word against his own life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.24'>Now therefore as Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.25'>And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.26'>And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.27'>So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Jehovah, that he might fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.28'>And the tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.29'>And it was told king Solomon, Joab is fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.30'>And Benaiah came to the Tent of Jehovah, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.31'>And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father`s house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.32'>And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not, [to wit], Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.33'>So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.34'>Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.35'>And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.36'>And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.37'>For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.38'>And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.39'>And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.40'>And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.41'>And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.42'>And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest unto thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The saying that I have heard is good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.43'>Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.44'>The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore Jehovah shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.45'>But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.2.46'>So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.3.16'>Then there came two women that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.3.23'>Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.3.27'>Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.5.3'>Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.5.6'>Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.5.7'>And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.5.9'>My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.1'>And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon`s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.2'>And the house which king Solomon built for Jehovah, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.3'>And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.4'>And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.5'>And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.6'>The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets [in the wall] of the house round about, that [the beams] should not have hold in the walls of the house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.7'>And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.8'>The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle [story], and out of the middle into the third.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.9'>So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.10'>And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.11'>And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.12'>Concerning this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute mine ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.13'>And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.14'>So Solomon built the house, and finished it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.15'>And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.16'>And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls [of the ceiling]: he built [them] for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.17'>And the house, that is, the temple before [the oracle], was forty cubits [long].</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.18'>And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.19'>And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.20'>And within the oracle was [a space of] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.21'>So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.22'>And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.23'>And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.24'>And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.25'>And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.26'>The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.27'>And he set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.28'>And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.29'>And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.30'>And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.31'>And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel [and] door-posts were a fifth part [of the wall].</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.32'>So [he made] two doors of olive-wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.33'>So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part [of the wall];</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.34'>and two doors of fir-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.6.36'>And he built the inner court with three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.3'>And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.8'>And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh`s daughter (whom Solomon had taken to wife), like unto this porch.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.9'>All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.21'>And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.22'>And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.23'>And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.24'>And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.25'>It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.26'>And it was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.27'>And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.28'>And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.29'>and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.30'>And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.31'>And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.32'>And the four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.33'>And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.34'>And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.35'>And in the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the panels thereof were of the same.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.36'>And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the panels thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.37'>After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.38'>And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon very one of the ten bases one laver.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.39'>And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.40'>And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.41'>the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.43'>and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.44'>and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.45'>and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Jehovah, were of burnished brass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.46'>In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.47'>And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.48'>And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.49'>and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.50'>and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, of gold.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.7.51'>Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of Jehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.2'>And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.4'>And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.5'>and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.6'>And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.7'>Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.10'>And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.11'>And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug-trees and precious stones.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.12'>And the king made of the almug-trees pillars for the house of Jehovah, and for the king`s house, harps also and psalteries for the singers: there came no such almug-trees, nor were seen, unto this day.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.13'>And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.19'>There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.21'>And all king Solomon`s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.27'>And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.28'>And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king`s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.10.29'>And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.11.19'>And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.11.28'>And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.18.5'>And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.18.27'>And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth and must be awaked.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.18.32'>And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.18.33'>And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.18.35'>And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.18.36'>And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.18.39'>And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Jehovah, he is God; Jehovah, he is God.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='1Kgs.18.45'>And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.1'>And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.2'>And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.3'>And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.4'>And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.5'>But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.6'>And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.7'>And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.8'>So she wrote letters in Ahab`s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, [and] that dwelt with Naboth.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Kgs.21.11'>And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Kgs.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.1'>And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.2'>And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.3'>But the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.4'>Now therefore thus saith Jehovah, Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.5'>And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them, Why is it that ye are returned?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.6'>And they said unto him, There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.7'>And he said unto them, What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.8'>And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.9'>Then [the king] sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he spake unto him, O man of God, the king hath said, Come down.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.10'>And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.11'>And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.12'>And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.13'>And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.14'>Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in thy sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.15'>And the angel of Jehovah said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.16'>And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.17'>So he died according to the word of Jehovah which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.1.18'>Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Kgs.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.1'>And it came to pass, when Jehovah would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.2'>And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me as far as Beth-el. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.3'>And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Jehovah will take away thy master from thy head to-day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.4'>And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.5'>And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Jehovah will take away thy master from thy head to-day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.6'>And Elijah said unto him, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.7'>And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.8'>And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.9'>And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.10'>And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: [nevertheless], if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.11'>And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.12'>And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.13'>He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.14'>And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided hither and thither; and Elisha went over.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.15'>And when the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.16'>And they said unto him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest the Spirit of Jehovah hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.17'>And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.18'>And they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho; and he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.19'>And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is bad, and the land miscarrieth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.20'>And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.21'>And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or miscarrying.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.22'>So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spake.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.23'>And he went up from thence unto Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou baldhead; go up, thou baldhead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.24'>And he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two lads of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.2.25'>And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Kgs.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.1'>Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.2'>And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.3'>Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.4'>Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered unto the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.5'>But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.6'>And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.7'>And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.8'>And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.9'>So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days` journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.10'>And the king of Israel said, Alas! for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.11'>But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel`s servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.12'>And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.13'>And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay; for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.14'>And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.15'>But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came upon him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.16'>And he said, Thus saith Jehovah, Make this valley full of trenches.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.17'>For thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.18'>And this is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.19'>And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.20'>And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.21'>Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.22'>And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.23'>and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.24'>And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.25'>And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth [only] they left the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.26'>And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.3.27'>Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.</verse>

|
<chapter osisID='2Kgs.4'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.1'>Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear Jehovah: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.2'>And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.3'>Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.4'>And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.5'>So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.6'>And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.7'>Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.8'>And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.9'>And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.10'>Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.11'>And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.12'>And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.13'>And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.14'>And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.15'>And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.16'>And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.17'>And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.18'>And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.19'>And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.20'>And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.21'>And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.22'>And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.23'>And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to-day? it is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.24'>Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.25'>So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.26'>run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.27'>And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is vexed within her; and Jehovah hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.28'>Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.29'>Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.30'>And the mother of the child said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.31'>And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.32'>And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.33'>He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.34'>And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.35'>Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.36'>And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.37'>Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.38'>And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.39'>And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they knew them not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.40'>So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.41'>But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.4.42'>And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Kgs.5'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.1'>Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Jehovah had given victory unto Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, [but he was] a leper.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.2'>And the Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman`s wife.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.3'>And she said unto her mistress, Would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover him of his leprosy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.4'>And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maiden that is of the land of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.5'>And the king of Syria said, Go now, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of raiment.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.6'>And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.7'>And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.8'>And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.9'>So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.10'>And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.11'>But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.12'>Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.13'>And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.14'>Then went he down, and dipped [himself] seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.15'>And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a present of thy servant.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.16'>But he said, As Jehovah liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.17'>And Naaman said, If not, yet, I pray thee, let there be given to thy servant two mules` burden of earth; for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.18'>In this thing Jehovah pardon thy servant: when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, Jehovah pardon thy servant in this thing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.19'>And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.20'>But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: as Jehovah liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.21'>So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.22'>And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.23'>And Naaman said, Be pleased to take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.24'>And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.25'>But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.26'>And he said unto him, Went not my heart [with thee], when the man turned from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.5.27'>The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper [as white] as snow.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Kgs.6'>
|

<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.1'>And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.2'>Let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.3'>And one said, Be pleased, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.4'>So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.5'>But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.7'>And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.8'>Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.9'>And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are coming down.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.10'>And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.11'>And the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.12'>And one of his servants said, Nay, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.13'>And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.14'>Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.15'>And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.16'>And he answered, Fear not; for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.17'>And Elisha prayed, and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.18'>And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Jehovah, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.19'>And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.20'>And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.21'>And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.23'>And he prepared great provision for them; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.24'>And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.25'>And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass`s head was sold for fourscore [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove`s dung for five [pieces] of silver.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.26'>And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.27'>And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.28'>And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.29'>So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she hath hid her son.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.30'>And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes (now he was passing by upon the wall); and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.31'>Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.32'>But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and [the king] sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him: is not the sound of his master`s feet behind him?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.6.33'>And while he was yet talking with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah; why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.1'>And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of Jehovah: thus saith Jehovah, To-morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be [sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.2'>Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.3'>Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.4'>If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.5'>And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.6'>For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.7'>Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.8'>And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.9'>Then they said one to another, We do not well; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king`s household.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.10'>So they came and called unto the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.11'>And he called the porters; and they told it to the king`s household within.</verse>

They know that we are hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.13'>And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed); and let us send and see.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Kgs.7.14'>They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.1'>In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, [and reigned] nine years.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.2'>And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.3'>Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.4'>And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.5'>Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.6'>In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.7'>And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.8'>and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.9'>And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Jehovah their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.10'>and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.11'>and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Jehovah carried away before them; and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.12'>and they served idols, whereof Jehovah had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.13'>Yet Jehovah testified unto Israel, and unto Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.14'>Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in Jehovah their God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.15'>And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified unto them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and [went] after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.16'>And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.17'>And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.18'>Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.19'>Also Judah kept not the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.20'>And Jehovah rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.21'>For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.22'>And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.23'>until Jehovah removed Israel out of his sight, as he spake by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.24'>And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.25'>And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not Jehovah: therefore Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed some of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.26'>Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the law of the god of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the law of the god of the land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.27'>Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.28'>So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.29'>Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.30'>And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.31'>and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.32'>So they feared Jehovah, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.33'>They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.34'>Unto this day they do after the former manner: they fear not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which Jehovah commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.35'>with whom Jehovah had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.36'>but Jehovah, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him shall ye fear, and unto him shall ye bow yourselves, and to him shall ye sacrifice:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.37'>and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods:</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.40'>Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.17.41'>So these nations feared Jehovah, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children`s children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Kgs.25.22'>And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.25.23'>Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.25.24'>And Gedaliah sware to them and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.25.25'>But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.25.26'>And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='2Kgs.25.27'>And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.1.3'>So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.30.4'>And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.30.5'>So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.30.6'>So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.30.18'>For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good Jehovah pardon every one</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.1'>Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.2'>And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.3'>For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.4'>And they brake down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images that were on high above them he hewed down; and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves [of them] that had sacrificed unto them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.5'>And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.8'>Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Jehovah his God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.9'>And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.10'>And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and the workmen that wrought in the house of Jehovah gave it to mend and repair the house;</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.11'>even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.12'>And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and [others of] the Levites, all that were skilful with instruments of music.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.13'>Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all that did the work in every manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.14'>And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah [given] by Moses.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.20'>And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king`s servant, saying,</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.21'>Go ye, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Jehovah, to do according unto all that is written in this book.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.22'>So Hilkiah, and they whom the king [had commanded], went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter;) and they spake to her to that effect.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.23'>And she said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you unto me,</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.25'>Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.26'>But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard,</verse>

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.27'>because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and hast humbled thyself before me, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.28'>Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they brought back word to the king.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.29'>Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.30'>And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of Jehovah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.34.31'>And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Chr.34.33'>And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were found in Israel to serve, even to serve Jehovah their God.

<verse osisID='2Chr.35.2'>And he set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.3'>And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders: now serve Jehovah your God, and his people Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.4'>And prepare yourselves after your fathers` houses by your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.5'>And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers` houses of your brethren the children of the people, and [let there be for each] a portion of a fathers` house of the Levites.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.6'>And kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by Moses.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Chr.35.7'>And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover-offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king`s substance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.8'>And his princes gave for a freewill-offering unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.9'>Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle], and five hundred oxen.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.10'>So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their courses, according to the king`s commandment.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.11'>And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood which they received] of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.12'>And they removed the burnt-offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers` houses of the children of the people, to offer unto Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.13'>And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.14'>And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering the burnt-offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Chr.35.15'>And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king`s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they needed not to depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.1'>And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.3.2'>Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.3'>And they set the altar upon its base; for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the countries: and they offered burnt-offerings thereon unto Jehovah, even burnt-offerings morning and evening.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.4'>And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and [offered] the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.5'>and afterward the continual burnt-offering, and [the offerings] of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill-offering unto Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.6'>From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah: but the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not yet laid.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.7'>They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, unto them of Sidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, unto Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.8'>Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem, and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.9'>Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Ezra.3.10'>And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, after the order of David king of Israel.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.11'>And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks unto Jehovah, [saying], For he is good, for his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.3.12'>But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers` [houses], the old men that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ezra.3.13'>so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.4.2'>then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers` [houses], and said unto them, Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as ye do; and we sacrifice unto him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up hither.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.4.3'>But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers` [houses] of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us in building a house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ezra.4.4'>Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.4.12'>Be it known unto the king, that the Jews that came up from thee are come to us unto Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.4.13'>Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will be hurtful unto the kings.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ezra.4.14'>Now because we eat the salt of the palace, and it is not meet for us to see the king`s dishonor, therefore have we sent and certified the king;</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.4.15'>that search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time; for which cause was this city laid waste.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.4.16'>We certify the king that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, by this means thou shalt have no portion beyond the River.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.4.17'>[Then] sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and in the rest [of the country] beyond the River: Peace, and so forth.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Ezra.4.18'>The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.4.19'>And I decreed, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.4.20'>There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all [the country] beyond the River; and tribute, custom, and toll, was paid unto them.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.4.23'>Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes` letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.5.12'>But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.6.8'>Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king`s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence unto these men, that they be not hindered.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.7.6'>this Ezra went up from Babylon: and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Jehovah, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.7'>And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.8'>And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Ezra.7.9'>For upon the first [day] of the first month began he to go up from Babylon; and on the first [day] of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.10'>For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.11'>Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of Jehovah, and of his statutes to Israel:</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.7.13'>I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, that are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with thee.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.7.14'>Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand,</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.15'>and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.16'>and all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.7.17'>therefore thou shalt with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.18'>And whatsoever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do ye after the will of your God.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.20'>And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king`s treasure-house.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.7.21'>And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers that are beyond the River, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.22'>unto a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.24'>Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, porters, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, upon them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.25'>And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knoweth them not.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.7.28'>and hath extended lovingkindness unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king`s mighty princes. And I was strengthened according to the hand of Jehovah my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.8.13'>And of the sons of Adonikam, [that were] the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them threescore males.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.14'>And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.15'>And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we encamped three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.16'>Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, who were teachers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.17'>And I sent them forth unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.18'>And according to the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.19'>and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.20'>and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were mentioned by name.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.21'>Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.22'>For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.23'>So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated of us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.24'>Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.25'>and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.26'>I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents; of gold a hundred talents;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.27'>and twenty bowls of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.28'>And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto Jehovah, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill-offering unto Jehovah, the God of your fathers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.29'>Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers` [houses] of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.30'>So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.31'>Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth [day] of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the lier-in-wait by the way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.32'>And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.33'>And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levite;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.34'>the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.35'>The children of the captivity, that were come out of exile, offered burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.8.36'>And they delivered the king`s commissions unto the king`s satraps, and to the governors beyond the River: and they furthered the people and the house of God.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Ezra.9'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.1'>Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, [doing] according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.2'>For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.3'>And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.4'>Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of them of the captivity; and I sat confounded until the evening oblation.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.5'>And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto Jehovah my God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.6'>and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.7'>Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.8'>And now for a little moment grace hath been showed from Jehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.9'>For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended lovingkindness unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.10'>And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.11'>which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.12'>now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity for ever; that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.13'>And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.14'>shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.9.15'>O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Ezra.10'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.1'>Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very sore.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.2'>And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land: yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.3'>Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.4'>Arise; for the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee: be of good courage, and do it.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.10.5'>Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they sware.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.6'>Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and [when] he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water; for he mourned because of the trespass of them of the captivity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.7'>And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezra.10.9'>Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth [day] of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.10'>And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.11'>Now therefore make confession unto Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.12'>Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said concerning us, so must we do.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.13'>But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without: neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.14'>Let now our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all them that are in our cities that have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be despatched.</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='Ezra.10.15'>Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this [matter]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Ezra.10.16'>And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, [with] certain heads of fathers` [houses], after their fathers` houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Neh.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.1'>The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it came to pass in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.2'>that Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, that were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.3'>And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.4'>And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.5'>and said, I beseech thee, O Jehovah, the God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.6'>Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee. Yea, I and my father`s house have sinned:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.7'>we have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.8'>Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye trespass, I will scatter you abroad among the peoples:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.9'>but if ye return unto me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.10'>Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.1.11'>O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who delight to fear thy name; and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Neh.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.1'>And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been [beforetime] sad in his presence.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.2'>And the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.3'>And I said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers` sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.4'>Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.5'>And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favor in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers` sepulchres, that I may build it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.6'>And the king said unto me (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.7'>Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through till I come unto Judah;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.8'>and a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king`s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the castle which appertaineth to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.9'>Then I came to the governors beyond the River, and gave them the king`s letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.10'>And when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, for that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.11'>So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.12'>And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem; neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.13'>And I went out by night by the valley gate, even toward the jackal`s well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.14'>Then I went on to the fountain gate and to the king`s pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.15'>Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.16'>And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.17'>Then said I unto them, Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.18'>And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me, as also of the king`s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good [work].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.19'>But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.2.20'>Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Neh.4'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.1'>But it came to pass that, when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.2'>And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What are these feeble Jews doing? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.3'>Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they are building, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.4'>Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.5'>and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked [thee] to anger before the builders.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.6'>So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half [the height] thereof: for the people had a mind to work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.7'>But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, [and] that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.8'>and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.9'>But we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.10'>And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.11'>And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.12'>And it came to pass that, when the Jews that dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times from all places, Ye must return unto us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.13'>Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I set [there] the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.14'>And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.15'>And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.16'>And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.17'>They all builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselves; every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.18'>and the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.19'>And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.20'>in what place soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God will fight for us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.21'>So we wrought in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.22'>Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.4.23'>So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one [went with] his weapon [to] the water.</verse>
|

|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Neh.5'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.1'>Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.2'>For there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many: let us get grain, that we may eat and live.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.3'>Some also there were that said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses: let us get grain, because of the dearth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.4'>There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king`s tribute [upon] our fields and our vineyards.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.5'>Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage [already]: neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.6'>And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.7'>Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I held a great assembly against them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.8'>And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, that were sold unto the nations; and would ye even sell your brethren, and should they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.9'>Also I said, The thing that ye do is not good: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.10'>And I likewise, my brethren and my servants, do lend them money and grain. I pray you, let us leave off this usury.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.11'>Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.12'>Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.13'>Also I shook out my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that performeth not this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the assembly said, Amen, and praised Jehovah. And the people did according to this promise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.14'>Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, [that is], twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.15'>But the former governors that were before me were chargeable unto the people, and took of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.16'>Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.17'>Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, a hundred and fifty men, besides those that came unto us from among the nations that were round about us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.18'>Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.5.19'>Remember unto me, O my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Neh.6'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.6.1'>Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.6.2'>that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in [one of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.6.3'>And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.6.4'>And they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.6.5'>Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.6.6'>wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou art building the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.6.7'>And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.6.8'>Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.</verse>

<verse osisID='Neh.9.28'>But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee; therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies,</verse>

<verse osisID='Neh.9.29'>and testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law. Yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thine ordinances, (which if a man do, he shall live in them,) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Neh.9.30'>Yet many years didst thou bear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.</verse>

<verse osisID='Neh.9.35'>For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.</verse>

<verse osisID='Neh.9.36'>Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it.</verse>

<verse osisID='Neh.9.37'>And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have power over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.</verse>

<verse osisID='Neh.12.46'>For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.12.47'>And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required: and they set apart [that which was] for the Levites; and the Levites set apart [that which was] for the sons of Aaron.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Neh.13'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.1'>On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God for ever,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.2'>because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.3'>And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.4'>Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being allied unto Tobiah,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.5'>had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the heave-offerings for the priests.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.6'>But in all this [time] I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went unto the king: and after certain days asked I leave of the king,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.7'>and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.8'>And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.9'>Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and the frankincense.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.10'>And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.11'>Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.12'>Then brought all Judah the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.13'>And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute unto their brethren.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.14'>Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the observances thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.15'>In those days saw I in Judah some men treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses [therewith]; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified [against them] in the day wherein they sold victuals.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.16'>There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, who brought in fish, and all manner of wares, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.17'>Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.18'>Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.19'>And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.20'>So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.21'>Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.22'>And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy lovingkindness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.23'>In those days also saw I the Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.24'>and their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews` language, but according to the language of each people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.25'>And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, [saying], Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.26'>Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did foreign women cause to sin.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.27'>Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.28'>And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.29'>Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.30'>Thus cleansed I them from all foreigners, and appointed charges for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Neh.13.31'>and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Esth.1'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.1'>Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.2'>that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.3'>in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.4'>when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even a hundred and fourscore days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.5'>And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king`s palace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.6'>[There were hangings of] white [cloth], [of] green, and [of] blue, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and white, and yellow, and black marble.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.7'>And they gave them drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.8'>And the drinking was according to the law; none could compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man`s pleasure.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.9'>Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.10'>On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.11'>to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to look on.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.12'>But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king`s commandment by the chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.13'>Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so was the king`s manner toward all that knew law and judgment;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.14'>and the next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king`s face, and sat first in the kingdom),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.15'>What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.16'>And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.17'>For this deed of the queen will come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.18'>And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say [the like] unto all the king`s princes. So [will there arise] much contempt and wrath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.19'>If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.20'>And when the king`s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.21'>And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.1.22'>for he sent letters into all the king`s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people.</verse>

|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Esth.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.1'>After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.2'>Then said the king`s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.3'>and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king`s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.4'>and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.5'>There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.6'>who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.7'>And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle`s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.8'>So it came to pass, when the king`s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king`s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.9'>And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king`s house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.10'>Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.11'>And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women`s house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.12'>Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [to wit], six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.13'>then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king`s house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.14'>In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king`s chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.15'>Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king`s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.16'>So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.17'>And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.18'>Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther`s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.19'>And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king`s gate.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.20'>Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.21'>In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king`s gate, two of the king`s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.22'>And the thing became known to Mordecai, who showed it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king [thereof] in Mordecai`s name.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.2.23'>And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.</verse>

</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Esth.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.1'>After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.2'>And all the king`s servants, that were in the king`s gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.3'>Then the king`s servants, that were in the king`s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king`s commandment?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.4'>Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai`s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.5'>And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.6'>But he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.7'>In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth [month], which is the month Adar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.8'>And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from [those of] every people; neither keep they the king`s laws: therefore it is not for the king`s profit to suffer them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.9'>If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the [king`s] business, to bring it into the king`s treasuries.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.10'>And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews` enemy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.11'>And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.12'>Then were the king`s scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king`s satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king`s ring.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.13'>And letters were sent by posts into all the king`s provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.14'>A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.3.15'>The posts went forth in haste by the king`s commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.</verse>

|
|
<chapter osisID='Esth.4'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.1'>Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.2'>and he came even before the king`s gate: for none might enter within the king`s gate clothed with sackcloth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.3'>And in every province, whithersoever the king`s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.4'>And Esther`s maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sackcloth from off him; but he received it not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.5'>Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king`s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.6'>So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the city, which was before the king`s gate.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.7'>And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king`s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.8'>Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him, for her people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.9'>And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.10'>Then Esther spake unto Hathach, and gave him a message unto Mordecai [saying]:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.11'>All the king`s servants, and the people of the king`s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.12'>And they told to Mordecai Esther`s words.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.13'>Then Mordecai bade them return answer unto Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king`s house, more than all the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.14'>For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then will relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father`s house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.15'>Then Esther bade them return answer unto Mordecai,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.16'>Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.4.17'>So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.1'>Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king`s house, over against the king`s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.2'>And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.3'>Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.4'>And Esther said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.5'>Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.6'>And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.7'>Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.8'>if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.9'>Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king`s gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.10'>Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.11'>And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.12'>Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also am I invited by her together with the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.13'>Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king`s gate.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.5.14'>Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Esth.6'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.1'>On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.2'>And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king`s chamberlains, of those that kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.3'>And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then said the king`s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.4'>And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king`s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.5'>And the king`s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.6'>So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.7'>And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.8'>let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.9'>and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king`s most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.10'>Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king`s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.11'>Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.12'>And Mordecai came again to the king`s gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.13'>And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.6.14'>While they were yet talking with him, came the king`s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Esth.7'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.1'>So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.2'>And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.3'>Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.4'>for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king`s damage.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.5'>Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.6'>And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.7'>And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine [and went] into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.8'>Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king`s mouth, they covered Haman`s face.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.9'>Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.7.10'>So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king`s wrath pacified.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Esth.8'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.1'>On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews` enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.2'>And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.3'>And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.4'>Then the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.5'>And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king`s provinces:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.6'>for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.7'>Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.8'>Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king`s name, and seal it with the king`s ring; for the writing which is written in the king`s name, and sealed with the king`s ring, may no man reverse.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.9'>Then were the king`s scribes called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.10'>And he wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king`s ring, and sent letters by post on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king`s service, bred of the stud:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.11'>wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [their] little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.12'>upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, [namely], upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.13'>A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.14'>So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king`s service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king`s commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.15'>And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.16'>The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.8.17'>And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king`s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Esth.9'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.1'>Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king`s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them,)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.2'>the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.3'>And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king`s business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.4'>For Mordecai was great in the king`s house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.5'>And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hated them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.6'>And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Esth.9.7'>And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Esth.9.9'>and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.10'>the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew`s enemy, slew they; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.11'>On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.12'>And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king`s provinces! Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.13'>Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day`s decree, and let Haman`s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.14'>And the king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman`s ten sons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.15'>And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.16'>And the other Jews that were in the king`s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.17'>[This was done] on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.18'>But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.19'>Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar [a day of] gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.20'>And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.21'>to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.22'>as the days wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.23'>And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.24'>because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.25'>but when [the matter] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.26'>Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come unto them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.27'>the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing thereof, and according to the appointed time thereof, every year;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.28'>and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the remembrance of them perish from their seed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.29'>Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.30'>And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of peace and truth,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.31'>to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Esth.9.32'>And the commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Job.2.1'>Again it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.2'>And Jehovah said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.3'>And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.4'>And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.5'>But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.6'>And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.7'>So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.8'>And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith; and he sat among the ashes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.9'>Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.10'>But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.11'>Now when Job`s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.12'>And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.2.13'>So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.1'>After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.2'>And Job answered and said:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.3'>Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.4'>Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.5'>Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.6'>As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.7'>Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.8'>Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.9'>Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.10'>Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother`s] womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.11'>Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.12'>Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.13'>For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.14'>With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.15'>Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.16'>Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.17'>There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.18'>There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.19'>The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.20'>Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.21'>Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.22'>Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.23'>[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.24'>For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.25'>For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Job.3.26'>I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.</verse>

<verse osisID='Job.4.15'>Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Job.4.16'>It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; A form was before mine eyes: [There was] silence, and I heard a voice, [saying],</verse>

<verse osisID='Prov.1.2'>To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding;</verse>

<verse osisID='Prov.1.7'>The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; [But] the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.</verse>

<verse osisID='Prov.1.29'>For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah:</verse>

<verse osisID='Prov.1.30'>They would none of my counsel; They despised all my reproof.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Prov.1.31'>Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Prov.1.32'>For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.</verse>

|

|
<verse osisID='Eccl.2.4'>I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.5'>I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.6'>I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.7'>I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;</verse>

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.8'>I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.9'>So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.10'>And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.11'>Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.2.21'>For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.22'>For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun?</verse>

<verse osisID='Eccl.2.23'>For all his days are [but] sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eccl.8.1'>Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man`s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.2'>I [counsel thee], Keep the king`s command, and that in regard of the oath of God.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eccl.8.3'>Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eccl.8.4'>For the king`s word [hath] power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.5'>Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man`s heart discerneth time and judgment:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.6'>for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.7'>for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.8'>There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.9'>All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein one man hath power over another to his hurt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.10'>So I saw the wicked buried, and they came [to the grave]; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.11'>Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.12'>Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his [days], yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.13'>but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong [his] days, [which are] as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.14'>There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.15'>Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that shall abide with him in his labor [all] the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.16'>When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.8.17'>then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eccl.9.1'>For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it be love or hatred, man knoweth it not; all is before them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.2'>All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.3'>This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that [they go] to the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.4'>For to him that is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Eccl.9.6'>As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eccl.9.8'>Let thy garments be always white; and let not thy head lack oil.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eccl.9.9'>Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity: for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor wherein thou laborest under the sun.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.10'>Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, whither thou goest.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.11'>I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.12'>For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.13'>I have also seen wisdom under the sun on this wise, and it seemed great unto me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.14'>There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.15'>Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.16'>Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man`s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eccl.9.17'>The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eccl.9.18'>Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Jer.1'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.1'>The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.2'>to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.3'>It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.4'>Now the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.5'>Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.6'>Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am a child.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.7'>But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for to whomsoever I shall send thee thou shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.8'>Be not afraid because of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.9'>Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.10'>see, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.11'>Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.12'>Then said Jehovah unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I watch over my word to perform it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.13'>And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a boiling caldron; and the face thereof is from the north.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.14'>Then Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.15'>For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.16'>And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.17'>Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I dismay thee before them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.18'>For, behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.1.19'>And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.1'>And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.2'>Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals; how thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.3'>Israel [was] holiness unto Jehovah, the first-fruits of his increase: all that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.4'>Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.5'>thus saith Jehovah, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.6'>Neither said they, Where is Jehovah that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man dwelt?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.7'>And I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.8'>The priests said not, Where is Jehovah? and they that handle the law knew me not: the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.9'>Wherefore I will yet contend with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children`s children will I contend.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.10'>For pass over to the isles of Kittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there hath been such a thing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.11'>Hath a nation changed [its] gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.12'>Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.13'>For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.14'>Is Israel a servant? is he a home-born [slave]? why is he become a prey?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.15'>The young lions have roared upon him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.16'>The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of thy head.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.17'>Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, when he led thee by the way?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.18'>And now what hast thou to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? or what hast thou to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.19'>Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.20'>For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bonds; and thou saidst, I will not serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree thou didst bow thyself, playing the harlot.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.21'>Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine unto me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.22'>For though thou wash thee with lye, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.23'>How canst thou say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: [thou art] a swift dromedary traversing her ways;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.24'>a wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.25'>Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.26'>As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.27'>who say to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.28'>But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.29'>Wherefore will ye contend with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.30'>In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.31'>O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? or a land of thick darkness? wherefore say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more unto thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.32'>Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.33'>How trimmest thou thy way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women hast thou taught thy ways.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.34'>Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: thou didst not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.35'>Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.36'>Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt also, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.2.37'>From thence also shalt thou go forth, with thy hands upon thy head: for Jehovah hath rejected those in whom thou trustest, and thou shalt not prosper with them.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Jer.3.1'>They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man`s, will he return unto her again? will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.3.2'>Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights, and see; where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.3.3'>Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hast a harlot`s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.3.4'>Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My Father, thou art the guide of my youth?</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.3.6'>Moreover Jehovah said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.3.7'>And I said after she had done all these things, She will return unto me; but she returned not: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.3.8'>And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.3.9'>And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.3.10'>And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.3.17'>At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.30.1'>The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.30.2'>Thus speaketh Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Jer.30.3'>For, lo, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.30.4'>And these are the words that Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.30.5'>For thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Jer.30.6'>Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child: wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.32.1'>The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.2'>Now at that time the king of Babylon`s army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah`s house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.3'>For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.4'>and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.5'>and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.6'>And Jeremiah said, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.7'>Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.8'>So Hanamel mine uncle`s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.9'>And I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel mine uncle`s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.10'>And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.11'>So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, [according to] the law and custom, and that which was open:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.12'>and I delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle`s [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.13'>And I charged Baruch before them, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.14'>Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.32.15'>For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.16'>Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto Jehovah, saying,</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.17'>Ah Lord Jehovah! behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for thee,</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.32.18'>who showest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Jehovah of hosts is his name;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.19'>great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.20'>who didst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, both in Israel and among [other] men; and madest thee a name, as at this day;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.21'>and didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.22'>and gavest them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.23'>and they came in, and possessed it, but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.24'>Behold, the mounds, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.25'>And thou hast said unto me, O Lord Jehovah, Buy thee the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.26'>Then came the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.32.27'>Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.28'>Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.29'>and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.30'>For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.31'>For this city hath been to me a provocation of mine anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.32'>because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.33'>And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.34'>But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.35'>And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.36'>And now therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.37'>Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.38'>and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.39'>and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.40'>and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.41'>Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.42'>For thus saith Jehovah: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.43'>And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.32.44'>Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.34.1'>The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.2'>Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.3'>and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.4'>Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus saith Jehovah concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.5'>thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [saying], Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.6'>Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.7'>when the king of Babylon`s army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these [alone] remained of the cities of Judah [as] fortified cities.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.8'>The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.9'>that every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, that is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondmen of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.10'>And all the princes and all the people obeyed, that had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, go free, that none should make bondmen of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.11'>but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.12'>Therefore the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.14'>At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is a Hebrew, that hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.15'>And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.16'>but ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.17'>Therefore thus saith Jehovah: ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.18'>And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, that have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Jer.34.22'>Behold, I will command, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.38.2'>Thus saith Jehovah, He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.38.3'>Thus saith Jehovah, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.38.5'>And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he that can do anything against you.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.38.9'>My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.38.10'>Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.38.11'>So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.38.12'>And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.38.17'>Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon`s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.38.18'>But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon`s princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.38.19'>And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.38.22'>behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah`s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon`s princes, and those women shall say, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee: [now that] thy feet are sunk in the mire, they are turned away back.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.38.23'>And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.38.24'>Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.38.25'>But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.44.22'>so that Jehovah could not longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Jer.44.23'>Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as it is this day.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.27'>Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough canker-worm.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.28'>Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors thereof, and all the deputies thereof, and all the land of their dominion.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.51.29'>And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.51.30'>The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling-places are set on fire; her bars are broken.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.31'>One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to met another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.32'>and the passages are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.33'>For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.34'>Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath, like a monster, swallowed me up, he hath filled his maw with my delicacies; he hath cast me out.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.51.35'>The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.36'>Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.37'>And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.38'>They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions` whelps.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.39'>When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.51.40'>I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.51.41'>How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.51.42'>The sea is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.44'>And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.45'>My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of Jehovah.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.46'>And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the tidings that shall be heard in the land; for tidings shall come one year, and after that in another year [shall come] tidings, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.47'>Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Jer.51.53'>Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come unto her, saith Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.54'>The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.55'>For Jehovah layeth Babylon waste, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.56'>for the destroyer is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.57'>And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.51.59'>The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.51.60'>And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.</verse>

<verse osisID='Jer.51.62'>and say, O Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.51.63'>And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates:</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.1'>Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.2'>And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.3'>For through the anger of Jehovah did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.4'>And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.5'>So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.6'>In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.7'>Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king`s garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about;) and they went toward the Arabah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.8'>But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.9'>Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.10'>And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.11'>And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.12'>Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.13'>and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king`s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.14'>And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.15'>Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.16'>But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.17'>And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.18'>The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.19'>And the cups, and the firepans, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls-that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver,- the captain of the guard took away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.20'>The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah-the brass of all these vessels was without weight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.21'>And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.22'>And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.23'>And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.24'>And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.25'>and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king`s face, that were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.26'>And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.27'>And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.28'>This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.29'>in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.30'>in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.31'>And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the [first] year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.32'>and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.33'>and changed his prison garments. And [Jehoiachin] did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Jer.52.34'>and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.</verse>

<verse osisID='Lam.1.1'>How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! She is become as a widow, that was great among the nations! She that was a princess among the provinces is become tributary!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.2'>She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; Among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they are become her enemies.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.3'>Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; She dwelleth among the nations, she findeth no rest: All her persecutors overtook her within the straits.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.4'>The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; All her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh: Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.5'>Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; For Jehovah hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: Her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.6'>And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed: Her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, And they are gone without strength before the pursuer.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.7'>Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old: When her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none did help her, The adversaries saw her, they did mock at her desolations.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.8'>Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing; All that honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: Yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.9'>Her filthiness was in her skirts; she remembered not her latter end; Therefore is she come down wonderfully; she hath no comforter: Behold, O Jehovah, my affliction; for the enemy hath magnified himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.10'>The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: For she hath seen that the nations are entered into her sanctuary, Concerning whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thine assembly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.11'>All her people sigh, they seek bread; They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul: See, O Jehovah, and behold; for I am become abject.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.12'>Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is brought upon me, Wherewith Jehovah hath afflicted [me] in the day of his fierce anger.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.13'>From on high hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them; He hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: He hath made me desolate and faint all the day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.14'>The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand; They are knit together, they are come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to fail: The Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.15'>The Lord hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; He hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: The Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.16'>For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; Because the comforter that should refresh my soul is far from me: My children are desolate, because the enemy hath prevailed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.17'>Zion spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; Jehovah hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.18'>Jehovah is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my sorrow: My virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.19'>I called for my lovers, [but] they deceived me: My priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, While they sought them food to refresh their souls.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.20'>Behold, O Jehovah; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled; My heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: Abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.21'>They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me; All mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: Thou wilt bring the day that thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.1.22'>Let all their wickedness come before thee; And do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.</verse>

<verse osisID='Lam.2.1'>How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, And hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.2'>The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: He hath thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He hath brought them down to the ground; he hath profaned the kingdom and the princes thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.3'>He hath cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; He hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: And he hath burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.</verse>
|
||

|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.4'>He hath bent his bow like an enemy, he hath stood with his right hand as an adversary, And hath slain all that were pleasant to the eye: In the tent of the daughter of Zion he hath poured out his wrath like fire.</verse>

<verse osisID='Lam.2.5'>The Lord is become as an enemy, he hath swallowed up Israel; He hath swallowed up all her palaces, he hath destroyed his strongholds; And he hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.6'>And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden; he hath destroyed his place of assembly: Jehovah hath caused solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, And hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.7'>The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary; He hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: They have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.8'>Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying; And he hath made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Lam.2.9'>Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; Yea, her prophets find no vision from Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.10'>The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, they keep silence; They have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.11'>Mine eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver is poured upon the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, Because the young children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.14'>Thy prophets have seen for thee false and foolish visions; And they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity, But have seen for thee false oracles and causes of banishment.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Lam.2.16'>All thine enemies have opened their mouth wide against thee; They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up; Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Lam.2.17'>Jehovah hath done that which he purposed; he hath fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old; He hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: And he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee; he hath exalted the horn of thine adversaries.</verse>

<verse osisID='Ezek.1.28'>As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Ezek.16.37'>therefore behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them against thee on every side, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.</verse>
|

<chapter osisID='Ezek.23'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.1'>The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.2'>Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.3'>and they played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.4'>And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.5'>And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.6'>who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.7'>And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.8'>Neither hath she left her whoredoms since [the days of] Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom upon her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.9'>Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.10'>These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.11'>And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.12'>She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.13'>And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.14'>And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.15'>girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.16'>And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.17'>And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.18'>So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.19'>Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.20'>And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.21'>Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.22'>Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.23'>the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.24'>And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about; and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.25'>And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.26'>They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.27'>Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt; so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.28'>For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.29'>and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.30'>These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast played the harlot after the nations, and because thou art polluted with their idols.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.31'>Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.32'>Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister`s cup, which is deep and large; thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.33'>Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.34'>Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.35'>Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.36'>Jehovah said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.37'>For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass through [the fire] unto them to be devoured.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.38'>Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.39'>For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.40'>And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paint thine eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.41'>and sit upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.42'>And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns upon their heads.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.43'>Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they play the harlot with her, and she [with them].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.44'>And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.45'>And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.46'>For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.47'>And the company shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.48'>Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Ezek.23.49'>And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Dan.1'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.1'>In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.2'>And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.3'>And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.4'>youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king`s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.5'>And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king`s dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they should stand before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.6'>Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.7'>And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abed-nego.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.8'>But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king`s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.9'>Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.10'>And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.11'>Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.12'>Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.13'>Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king`s dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.14'>So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.15'>And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king`s dainties.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.16'>So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.17'>Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.18'>And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.19'>And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.20'>And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.1.21'>And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Dan.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.1'>And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.2'>Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.3'>And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.4'>Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.5'>The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye make not known unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.6'>But if ye show the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.7'>They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.8'>The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.9'>But if ye make not known unto me the dream, there is but one law for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.10'>The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king`s matter, forasmuch as no king, lord, or ruler, hath asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.11'>And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is no other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.12'>For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.13'>So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.14'>Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king`s guard, who was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.15'>he answered and said to Arioch the king`s captain, Wherefore is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.16'>And Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.17'>Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.18'>that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should nor perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.19'>Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.20'>Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.21'>And he changeth the times and the seasons; he removeth kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.22'>he revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.23'>I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known unto me what we desired of thee; for thou hast made known unto us the king`s matter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.24'>Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus unto him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.25'>Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.26'>The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.27'>Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show unto the king;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.28'>but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.29'>as for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind] upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.30'>But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.31'>Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.32'>As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.33'>its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.34'>Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.35'>Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.36'>This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.37'>Thou, O king, art king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.38'>and wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all: thou art the head of gold.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.39'>And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.40'>And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.41'>And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters` clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.42'>And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.43'>And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.44'>And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.45'>Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.46'>Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.47'>The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou hast been able to reveal this secret.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.48'>Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.2.49'>And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the gate of the king.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.3.1'>Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.2'>Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Dan.3.3'>Then the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.3.4'>Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.3.10'>Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.11'>and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.12'>There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.13'>Then Nebuchadnezzar in [his] rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.14'>Nebuchadnezzar answered and said unto them, Is it of purpose, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.15'>Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made, [well]: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.16'>Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.17'>If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.3.18'>But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.19'>Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: [therefore] he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.20'>And he commanded certain mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, [and] to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.21'>Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their mantles, and their [other] garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.22'>Therefore because the king`s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.23'>And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.24'>Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spake and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.25'>He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.26'>Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth out of the midst of the fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.27'>And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king`s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.28'>Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king`s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.29'>Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god that is able to deliver after this sort.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.3.30'>Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.4.2'>It hath seemed good unto me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.4.4'>I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.5'>I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.6'>Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.7'>Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.8'>But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, [saying],</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.9'>O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.10'>Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height thereof was great.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.11'>The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.12'>The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in the branches thereof, and all flesh was fed from it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.13'>I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.14'>He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.15'>Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.16'>let his heart be changed from man`s, and let a beast`s heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.17'>The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.18'>This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.19'>Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken dumb for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine adversaries.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.20'>The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.24'>this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.25'>that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.26'>And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.4.28'>All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.4.31'>While the word was in the king`s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.32'>and thou shalt be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.33'>The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles` [feathers], and his nails like birds` [claws].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.34'>And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.35'>And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.36'>At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.4.37'>Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.5.2'>Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink therefrom.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.6.3'>Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Dan.6.4'>Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.6.5'>Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.6.8'>Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.6.11'>Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.6.12'>Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king`s interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.6.13'>Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.6.14'>Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.6.15'>Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Dan.6.16'>Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.6.17'>And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.6.18'>Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.6.24'>And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.1'>In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.2'>Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven brake forth upon the great sea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.3'>And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.4'>The first was like a lion, and had eagle`s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man`s heart was given to it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.5'>And, behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.6'>After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.7'>After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.8'>I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.9'>I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, [and] the wheels thereof burning fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.10'>A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.11'>I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.12'>And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.13'>I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.14'>And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.15'>As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.16'>I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.17'>These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.18'>But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.19'>Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.20'>and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other [horn] which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.21'>I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.22'>until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.23'>Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.24'>And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.25'>And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.26'>But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.27'>And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.7.28'>Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Dan.8'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.1'>In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.2'>And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.3'>Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.4'>I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.5'>And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.6'>And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.7'>And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.8'>And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable [horns] toward the four winds of heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.9'>And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.10'>And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.11'>Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual [burnt-offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.12'>And the host was given over [to it] together with the continual [burnt-offering] through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did [its pleasure] and prospered.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.13'>Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt-offering], and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.14'>And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.15'>And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.16'>And I heard a man`s voice between [the banks of] the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.17'>So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was affrighted, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.18'>Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.19'>And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.20'>The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.21'>And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.22'>And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.23'>And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.24'>And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do [his pleasure]; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.25'>And through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.26'>And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days [to come].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Dan.8.27'>And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king`s business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.9.12'>And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.</verse>

<verse osisID='Dan.11.40'>And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.</verse>

<verse osisID='Hos.1.2'>When Jehovah spake at the first by Hosea, Jehovah said unto Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom; for the land doth commit great whoredom, [departing] from Jehovah.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.1.2'>Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time [for us] to come, the time for Jehovah`s house to be built.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Hag.1.3'>Then came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.1.4'>Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.1.5'>Now therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.1.6'>Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.1.7'>Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.</verse>
|

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.1.9'>Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house.</verse>

||
|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.1.12'>Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him; and the people did fear before Jehovah.</verse>

<verse osisID='Hag.2.12'>If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.2.13'>Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Hag.2.14'>Then answered Haggai and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith Jehovah; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Matt.1'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.1'>The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.2'>Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.3'>and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.4'>and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.5'>and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.6'>and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.7'>and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.8'>and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.9'>and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.10'>and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.11'>and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.12'>And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.13'>and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.14'>and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.15'>and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.16'>and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.17'>So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.18'>Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.19'>And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.20'>But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.21'>And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.22'>Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.23'>Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.24'>And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.1.25'>and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Matt.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.1'>Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.2'>Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.3'>And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.4'>And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.5'>And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through the prophet,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.6'>And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.7'>Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.8'>And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him,] bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.9'>And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.10'>And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.11'>And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.12'>And being warned [of God] in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.13'>Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.14'>And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.15'>and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.16'>Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.17'>Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.18'>A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.19'>But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.20'>Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child`s life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.21'>And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.22'>But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.2.23'>and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.</verse>

|
|
<chapter osisID='Matt.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.1'>And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.2'>Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.3'>For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.4'>Now John himself had his raiment of camel`s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.5'>Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about the Jordan;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.6'>and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.7'>But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.8'>Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.9'>and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.10'>And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.11'>I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.12'>whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.13'>Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.14'>But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.15'>But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.16'>And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.3.17'>and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.</verse>

|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Matt.4'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.1'>Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.2'>And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.3'>And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.4'>But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.5'>Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.6'>and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.7'>Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.8'>Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.9'>and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.10'>Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.11'>Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.12'>Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.13'>and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.14'>that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.15'>The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.16'>The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.17'>From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.18'>And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.19'>And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.20'>And they straightway left the nets, and followed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.21'>And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.22'>And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.23'>And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.24'>And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.4.25'>And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and [from] beyond the Jordan.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Matt.5'>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.5.1'>And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.5.2'>and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.5.3'>Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.5.12'>Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.5.13'>Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.5.14'>Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.5.15'>Neither do [men] light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.5.17'>Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.5.18'>For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.5.19'>Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.5.21'>Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.5.33'>Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.5.37'>But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one].</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.5.38'>Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.5.39'>but I say unto you, resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.5.43'>Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.5.44'>but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.6.2'>When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.3'>But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.6.4'>that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.5'>And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.6'>But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.7'>And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.8'>Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.9'>After this manner therefore pray ye. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.6.12'>And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.13'>And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one.]</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.14'>For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.6.15'>But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.16'>Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.17'>But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.6.24'>No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.25'>Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='Matt.6.26'>Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they?</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.6.27'>And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='Matt.6.28'>And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.29'>yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.30'>But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.31'>Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.32'>For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.6.33'>But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.6.34'>Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.12.5'>Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Matt.12.9'>And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.12.10'>and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.12.23'>And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.13.29'>But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.30'>Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.31'>Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.32'>which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.33'>Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.34'>All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.35'>that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.13.36'>Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.37'>And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.38'>and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil [one];</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.39'>and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.40'>As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.41'>The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.42'>and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.13.43'>Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.44'>The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.45'>Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.46'>and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.47'>Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.48'>which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.49'>So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.13.50'>and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.13.51'>Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.13.53'>And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.13.54'>And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.13.57'>And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.17.10'>And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.11'>And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.12'>but I say into you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.17.13'>Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.14'>And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.15'>Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and off-times into the water.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.17.16'>And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.</verse>

|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.19'>Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.20'>And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.17.23'>and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.24'>And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.25'>He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.17.26'>And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.17.27'>But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.18.1'>In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.18.2'>And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.3'>and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.18.4'>Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.18.5'>And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.6'>But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and [that] he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.7'>Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.8'>And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.9'>And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.10'>See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.18.11'>[For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.]</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.12'>How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.13'>And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.18.14'>Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.15'>And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.16'>But if he hear [thee] not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.17'>And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.18'>Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.18.19'>Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.</verse>

|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.23'>Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.24'>And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.25'>But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.26'>The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.27'>And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.28'>But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.29'>So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.30'>And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.31'>So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.32'>Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.33'>shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.18.34'>And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.18.35'>So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.19.1'>And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan;</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.19.3'>And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful [for a man] to put away his wife for every cause?</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.19.4'>And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made [them] from the beginning made them male and female,</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.19.5'>and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.19.6'>So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.19.7'>They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.19.8'>He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.19.9'>And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.19.10'>The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.19.12'>For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother`s womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven`s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.19.13'>Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.19.14'>But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.19.18'>He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.19.22'>But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.20.5'>Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.20.6'>And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.20.7'>They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.20.11'>And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.2'>The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.3'>and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.4'>Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.5'>But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.22.6'>and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.22.8'>Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.22.9'>Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.22.10'>And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.22.11'>But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.13'>Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.14'>For many are called, but few chosen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.15'>Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in [his] talk.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.16'>And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.17'>Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.22.30'>For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.31'>But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.35'>And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, trying him:</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.22.36'>Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.37'>And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.38'>This is the great and first commandment.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.39'>And a second like [unto it] is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.40'>On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.41'>Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.42'>saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The son] of David.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.43'>He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.44'>The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.22.45'>If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.22.46'>And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.1'>Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.2'>And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.3'>For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.4'>but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.5'>Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.6'>But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.7'>Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.</verse>
|
||
|

<verse osisID='Matt.25.8'>And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.25.9'>But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.10'>And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.25.12'>But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.25.13'>Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.14'>For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.15'>And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.16'>Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.17'>In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.18'>But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord`s money.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.19'>Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.25.21'>His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.22'>And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.24'>And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.25'>and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.26'>But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.27'>thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.25.28'>Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.29'>For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.30'>And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.31'>But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.32'>and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.33'>and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.34'>Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.35'>for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.36'>naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.37'>Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.38'>And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.39'>And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.40'>And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.44'>Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.25.45'>Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Matt.26'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.1'>And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.2'>Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.3'>Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.4'>and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.5'>But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.6'>Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.7'>there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.8'>But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.9'>For this [ointment] might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.10'>But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.11'>For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.12'>For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.13'>Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.14'>Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.15'>and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.16'>And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him [unto them.]</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.17'>Now on the first [day] of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.18'>And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.19'>And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.20'>Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.21'>and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.22'>And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.23'>And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.24'>The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.25'>And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.26'>And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.27'>And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.28'>for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.29'>But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father`s kingdom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.30'>And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.31'>Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.32'>But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.33'>But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.34'>Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.35'>Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, [yet] will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.36'>Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.37'>And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.38'>Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.39'>And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.40'>And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.41'>Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.42'>Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.43'>And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.44'>And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.45'>Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.46'>Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.47'>And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.48'>Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.49'>And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.50'>And Jesus said unto him, Friend, [do] that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.51'>And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.52'>Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.53'>Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.54'>How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.55'>In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.56'>But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.57'>And they that had taken Jesus led him away to [the house of] Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.58'>But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.59'>Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.60'>and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.61'>and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.62'>And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.63'>But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.64'>Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.65'>Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.66'>what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.67'>Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.68'>saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.69'>Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.70'>But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.71'>And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.72'>And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.73'>And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.74'>Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.26.75'>And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.27.2'>and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Matt.27.3'>Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,</verse>

<verse osisID='Matt.27.7'>And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter`s field, to bury strangers in.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.8'>Wherefore that field was called, the field of blood, unto this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.9'>Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom [certain] of the children of Israel did price;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.10'>and they gave them for the potter`s field, as the Lord appointed me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.11'>Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.12'>And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.13'>Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.14'>And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.15'>Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.16'>And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.17'>When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.18'>For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.19'>And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.20'>Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.21'>But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.22'>Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.23'>And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.24'>So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye [to it].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.25'>And all the people answered and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.26'>Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.27'>Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered unto him the whole band.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.28'>And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.29'>And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.30'>And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.31'>And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.32'>And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go [with them], that he might bear his cross.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.33'>And they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.34'>they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.35'>And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.36'>and they sat and watched him there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.37'>And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.38'>Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.39'>And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.40'>and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.41'>In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.42'>He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.43'>He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.44'>And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.45'>Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.46'>And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.47'>And some of them stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.48'>And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.49'>And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.50'>And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.51'>And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.52'>and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.53'>and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.54'>Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.55'>And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.56'>among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.57'>And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus` disciple:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.58'>this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.59'>And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.60'>and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.61'>And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.62'>Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.63'>saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.64'>Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.65'>Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it [as] sure as ye can.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.27.66'>So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.</verse>

|

|
|
<chapter osisID='Matt.28'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.1'>Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.2'>And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.3'>His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.4'>and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.5'>And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.6'>He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.7'>And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.8'>And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.9'>And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.10'>Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.11'>Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.12'>And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.13'>saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.14'>And if this come to the governor`s ears, we will persuade him, and rid you of care.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.15'>So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, [and continueth] until this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.16'>But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.17'>And when they saw him, they worshipped [him]; but some doubted.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.18'>And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.19'>Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Matt.28.20'>teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Mark.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.1'>The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.2'>Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.3'>The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.4'>John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.5'>And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; And they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.6'>And John was clothed with camel`s hair, and [had] a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.7'>And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.8'>I baptized you in water; But he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.9'>And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.10'>And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.11'>And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.12'>And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.13'>And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; And he was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.14'>Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.15'>and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.16'>And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.17'>And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.18'>And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.19'>And going on a little further, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.20'>And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.21'>And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.22'>And they were astonished at his teaching: For he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.23'>And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.24'>saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.25'>And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.26'>And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.27'>And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.28'>And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.29'>And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.30'>Now Simon`s wife`s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.31'>and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.32'>And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.33'>And all the city was gathered together at the door.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.34'>And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.35'>And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.36'>And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.37'>and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.38'>And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.39'>And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.40'>And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.41'>And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.42'>And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.43'>And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.44'>and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.1.45'>But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.</verse>

</chapter>
|

|
|
<chapter osisID='Mark.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.1'>And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.2'>And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room [for them], no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.3'>And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.4'>And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.5'>And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.6'>But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.7'>Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.8'>And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.9'>Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.10'>But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.11'>I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.12'>And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.13'>And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.14'>And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.15'>And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.16'>And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, [How is it] that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.17'>And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.18'>And John`s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John`s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.19'>And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.2.20'>But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.2'>And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.3'>Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.4'>and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.5'>And other fell on the rocky [ground], where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.6'>and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.7'>And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.8'>And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.9'>And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.10'>And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.4.11'>And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.13'>And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.14'>The sower soweth the word.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.15'>And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.16'>And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.4.17'>and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.18'>And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.20'>And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.21'>And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand?</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.23'>If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.31'>It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.32'>yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.4.33'>And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.4.39'>And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.5.5'>And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.5.6'>And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.5.8'>For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.5.10'>And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.5.11'>Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.5.15'>And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, [even] him that had the legion: and they were afraid.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.6.3'>Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.6.19'>And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.6.27'>And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.6.51'>And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.6.52'>for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Mark.6.53'>And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Mark.6.56'>And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.7.3'>(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.7.4'>and [when they come] from the market-place, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.7.5'>And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.7.6'>And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.7.7'>But in vain do they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.7.8'>Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.7.20'>And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.8.1'>In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.8.2'>I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat:</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.8.3'>and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them are come from far.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.8.4'>And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.8.5'>And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.8.6'>And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.8.7'>And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.8.8'>And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Mark.8.9'>And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away.</verse>
|
||
|

<verse osisID='Mark.8.10'>And straightway he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Mark.8.13'>And he left them, and again entering into [the boat] departed to the other side.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.8.14'>And they forgot to take bread; and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.8.15'>And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.8.16'>And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.8.17'>And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye your heart hardened?</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.8.35'>For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel`s shall save it.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.8.36'>For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Mark.12.35'>And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.12.36'>David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.12.37'>David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.12.38'>And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.12.39'>and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.12.40'>they that devour widows` houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.12.41'>And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.12.42'>And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.12.43'>And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.12.44'>for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.13.9'>But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.13.10'>And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.14.1'>Now after two days was [the feast of] the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.2'>for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.3'>And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure nard very costly; [and] she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.4'>But there were some that had indignation among themselves, [saying], To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.5'>For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.6'>But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.14.7'>For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.8'>She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.9'>And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.10'>And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.11'>And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him [unto them].</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.12'>And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.13'>And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.14'>and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.15'>And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished [and] ready: and there make ready for us.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.16'>And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.17'>And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.18'>And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, [even] he that eateth with me.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.19'>They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.20'>And he said unto them, [It is] one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.21'>For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.22'>And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.23'>And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.24'>And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.14.26'>And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.27'>And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.28'>Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.29'>But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.30'>And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, [even] this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.31'>But he spake exceedingly vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.32'>And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.33'>And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.34'>And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.35'>And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.36'>And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.37'>And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.38'>Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.39'>And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.40'>And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.41'>And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.42'>Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.43'>And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.44'>Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.45'>And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.46'>And they laid hands on him, and took him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.47'>But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.48'>And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.49'>I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but [this is done] that the scriptures might be fulfilled.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.50'>And they all left him, and fled.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.51'>And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over [his] naked [body]: and they lay hold on him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.52'>but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.53'>And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.54'>And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light [of the fire].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.55'>Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.56'>For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.57'>And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.58'>We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.59'>And not even so did their witness agree together.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.60'>And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.61'>But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.62'>And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.63'>And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.64'>Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.65'>And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.66'>And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.67'>and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, [even] Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.68'>But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.69'>And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.70'>But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, of a truth thou art [one] of them; for thou art a Galilaean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.71'>But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.14.72'>And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.1'>And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.15.2'>And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.26'>And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.27'>And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.28'>[And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors.]</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.15.29'>And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.15.30'>save thyself, and come down from the cross.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.15.31'>In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him] among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.32'>Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.33'>And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.36'>And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.15.37'>And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.15.38'>And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.15.39'>And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.15.40'>And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom [were] both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.41'>who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.43'>there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.15.44'>And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.15.45'>And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.15.46'>And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.15.47'>And Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of Joses beheld where he was laid.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.16.1'>And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.16.2'>And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun was risen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.16.3'>And they were saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.16.6'>And he saith unto them, Be not amazed: ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold, the place where they laid him!</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.16.8'>And they went out, and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them: and they said nothing to any one; for they were afraid.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.16.9'>Now when he was risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.16.10'>She went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Mark.16.11'>And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, disbelieved.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Mark.16.12'>And after these things he was manifested in another form unto two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.16.15'>And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.</verse>

<verse osisID='Mark.16.19'>So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Luke.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.1'>Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.2'>even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.3'>it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.4'>that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.5'>There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.6'>And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.7'>And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.8'>Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest`s office before God in the order of his course,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.9'>according to the custom of the priest`s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.10'>And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.11'>And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of altar of incense.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.12'>And Zacharias was troubled when he saw [him], and fear fell upon him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.13'>But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.14'>And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.15'>For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother`s womb.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.16'>And many of the children of Israel shall be turn unto the Lord their God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.17'>And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient [to walk] in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared [for him].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.18'>And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.19'>And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.20'>And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.21'>And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.22'>And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.23'>And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.24'>And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.25'>Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.26'>Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.27'>to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin`s name was Mary.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.28'>And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord [is] with thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.29'>But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.30'>And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.31'>And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.32'>He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.33'>and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.34'>And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.35'>And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.36'>And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.37'>For no word from God shall be void of power.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.38'>And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.39'>And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.40'>and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.41'>And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.42'>and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.43'>And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.44'>For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.45'>And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.46'>And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.47'>And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.48'>For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.49'>For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.50'>And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.51'>He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.52'>He hath put down princes from [their] thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.53'>The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.54'>He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.55'>(As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.56'>And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.57'>Now Elisabeth`s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.58'>And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.59'>And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of the father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.60'>And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.61'>And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.62'>And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.63'>And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.64'>And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spake, blessing God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.65'>And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.66'>And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.67'>And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.68'>Blessed [be] the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.69'>And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.70'>(As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.71'>Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.72'>To show mercy towards, our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.73'>The oath which he spake unto Abraham our father,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.74'>To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.75'>In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.76'>Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High: For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.77'>To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.78'>Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.1.79'>To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.1.80'>And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.2.1'>Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.2.2'>This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.2.3'>And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.2.4'>And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.2.16'>And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.3.1'>Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.2'>in the highpriesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.3'>And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.4'>as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.5'>Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.6'>And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.7'>He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.8'>Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.9'>And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.10'>And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.11'>And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.12'>And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.13'>And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.14'>And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse [any one] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.15'>And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.16'>John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.17'>whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.18'>With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.3.20'>added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.3.21'>Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Luke.4.1'>And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.2'>during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.3'>And the devil said unto him, if thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.4'>And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.5'>And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.6'>And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.7'>If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine.</verse>
|

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.9'>And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.10'>for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee:</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.4.15'>And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.17'>And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.18'>The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.4.19'>To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.4.23'>And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.4.24'>And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.25'>But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.26'>and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.27'>And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.28'>And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.29'>and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.30'>But he passing through the midst of them went his way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.31'>And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.32'>and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.33'>And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.34'>Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.35'>And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.36'>And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.37'>And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.38'>And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon`s wife`s mother was holden with a great fever; and they besought him for her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.39'>And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.40'>And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.41'>And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.42'>And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.4.43'>But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Luke.5'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.1'>Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.2'>and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.3'>And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon`s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.4'>And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.5'>And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.6'>And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.7'>and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.8'>But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus` knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.9'>For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.10'>and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.11'>And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.12'>And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.13'>And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.14'>And he charged him to tell no man: but go thy way, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.15'>But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.16'>But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.17'>And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.18'>And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.19'>And not finding by what [way] they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.20'>And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.21'>And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.22'>But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.23'>Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.24'>But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.25'>And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.26'>And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.27'>And after these things he went forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.28'>And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.29'>And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.5.30'>And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.5.31'>And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick.</verse>

|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.1'>Now it came to pass on a sabbath, that he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.2'>But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.3'>And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.4'>how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.5'>And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='Luke.6.6'>And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.7'>And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.8'>But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.9'>And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.10'>And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did [so]: and his hand was restored.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.6.11'>But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.6.12'>And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.13'>And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.6.14'>Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.6.23'>Rejoice in that day, and leap [for joy]: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Luke.6.29'>To him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.6.31'>And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.6.32'>And if ye love them that love you, what thank have ye? for even sinners love those that love them.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.33'>And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? for even sinners do the same.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.42'>Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother`s eye.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.43'>For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.6.44'>For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.45'>The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil [man] out of the evil [treasure] bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.46'>And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.47'>Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.48'>he is like a man building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.6.49'>But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.7.2'>And a certain centurion`s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.3'>And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.4'>And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.5'>for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.6'>And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.7'>wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.8'>For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.9'>And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.10'>And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.11'>And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.12'>Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.7.13'>And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.14'>And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.15'>And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.17'>And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.18'>And the disciples of John told him of all these things.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.19'>And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.21'>In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.7.22'>And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.23'>And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.24'>And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.25'>But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings` courts.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.7.29'>And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.7.30'>But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.7.31'>Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.32'>They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.37'>And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee`s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.38'>and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.39'>Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.40'>And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.7.41'>A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.7.42'>When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.7.44'>And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.45'>Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.7.46'>My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.</verse>
|

<chapter osisID='Luke.8'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.1'>And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.2'>and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.3'>and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod`s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.4'>And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.5'>The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.6'>And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.7'>And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.8'>And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.9'>And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.10'>And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.11'>Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.12'>And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.13'>And those on the rock [are] they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.14'>And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.15'>And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.16'>And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.17'>For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor [anything] secret, that shall not be known and come to light.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.18'>Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.19'>And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.8.20'>And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='Luke.8.22'>Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.23'>But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling [with water], and were in jeopardy.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.8.24'>And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.25'>And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.26'>And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.27'>And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in [any] house, but in the tombs.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.28'>And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.29'>For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.31'>And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.8.32'>Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.35'>And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.36'>And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.37'>And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.38'>But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.39'>Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.43'>And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.44'>came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.8.45'>And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush [thee].</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.46'>But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.47'>And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Luke.8.48'>And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.50'>But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.8.51'>And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.8.52'>And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.9.1'>And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.9.6'>And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.9.7'>Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.12'>And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in a desert place.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.13'>But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.9.21'>But he charged them, and commanded [them] to tell this to no man;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.22'>saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.23'>And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.9.27'>But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.28'>And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.29'>And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment [became] white [and] dazzling.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.30'>And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.31'>who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.32'>Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.33'>And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.34'>And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.35'>And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.36'>And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.37'>And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.38'>And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.39'>and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.40'>And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.41'>And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.42'>And as he was yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare [him] grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.43'>And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.44'>Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.45'>But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.46'>And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.47'>But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.48'>and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.49'>And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.50'>But Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against you is for you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.51'>And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.52'>and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.53'>And they did not receive him, because his face was [as though he were] going to Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.54'>And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.55'>But he turned, and rebuked them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.56'>And they went to another village.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.57'>And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.58'>And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.59'>And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.60'>But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.61'>And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.9.62'>But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Luke.14'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.1'>And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.2'>And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.3'>And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.4'>But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.5'>And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.6'>And they could not answer again unto these things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.7'>And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.8'>When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.9'>and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.10'>But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.11'>For everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.12'>And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.13'>But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.14'>and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith] to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.15'>And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.16'>But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.17'>and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all] things are now ready.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.18'>And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.19'>And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.20'>And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.21'>And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.22'>And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.23'>And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.24'>For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.25'>Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.26'>If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.27'>Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.28'>For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith] to complete it?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.29'>Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.30'>saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.31'>Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.32'>Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.14.33'>So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.14.34'>Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.15.1'>Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.2'>And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.3'>And he spake unto them this parable, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.4'>What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.5'>And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.6'>And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.7'>I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, [more] than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.8'>Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.9'>And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.10'>Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.11'>And he said, A certain man had two sons:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.12'>and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of [thy] substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.13'>And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.14'>And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.15'>And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.16'>And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.17'>But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father`s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.18'>I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.19'>I am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of thy hired servants.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.20'>And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.21'>And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.22'>But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.23'>and bring the fatted calf, [and] kill it, and let us eat, and make merry:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.24'>for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.25'>Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.15.26'>And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.28'>But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.29'>But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and [yet] thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.30'>but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.31'>And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.15.32'>But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive [again]; and [was] lost, and is found.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Luke.16'>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.1'>And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.2'>And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.3'>And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.4'>I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.5'>And calling to him each one of his lord`s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.6'>And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.16.7'>Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.8'>And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.9'>And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.10'>He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.16.11'>If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.16.12'>And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another`s, who will give you that which is your own?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.13'>No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.14'>And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.15'>And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.16.16'>The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.16.17'>But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.18'>Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.19'>Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.20'>and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.21'>and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man`s table; yea, even the dogs come and licked his sores.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.22'>And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham`s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.23'>And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.24'>And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.25'>But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.26'>And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.27'>And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father`s house;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.16.29'>But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.16.30'>And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Luke.18'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.1'>And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.2'>saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.3'>and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.4'>And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.5'>yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.6'>And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.7'>And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and [yet] he is longsuffering over them?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.8'>I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.9'>And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.10'>Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.11'>The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.12'>I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.13'>But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.14'>I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.15'>And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.16'>But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.17'>Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.18'>And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.19'>And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.20'>Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.21'>And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.22'>And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.23'>But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.24'>And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.25'>For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle`s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.26'>And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.27'>But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.28'>And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.29'>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God`s sake,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.30'>who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.31'>And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.32'>For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.33'>and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.34'>And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.35'>And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.36'>and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.37'>And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.38'>And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.39'>And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.40'>And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.41'>What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.42'>And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight; thy faith hath made thee whole.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.18.43'>And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Luke.19'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.1'>And he entered and was passing through Jericho.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.2'>And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.3'>And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.4'>And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.5'>And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.6'>And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.7'>And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.8'>And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.9'>And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.10'>For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.11'>And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.12'>He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.13'>And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.14'>But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.15'>And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.16'>And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.17'>And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.18'>And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.19'>And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.20'>And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.21'>for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.22'>He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.23'>then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.24'>And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.25'>And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.26'>I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.27'>But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.28'>And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.29'>And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.30'>saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.31'>And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.32'>And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.33'>And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.34'>And they said, The Lord hath need of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.35'>And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.36'>And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.37'>And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.38'>saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.39'>And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.40'>And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.41'>And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.42'>saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.43'>For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.44'>and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.45'>And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.46'>saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.47'>And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.19.48'>and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.</verse>

|

</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Luke.20'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.1'>And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.2'>and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.3'>And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.4'>The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.5'>And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.6'>But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.7'>And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.8'>And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.9'>And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.10'>And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.11'>And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.12'>And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.13'>And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.14'>But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.15'>And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.16'>He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.17'>But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.18'>Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.19'>And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.20'>And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.21'>And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.22'>Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.23'>But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.24'>Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar`s.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.25'>And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar`s, and unto God the things that are God`s.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.26'>And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.27'>And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.28'>and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man`s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.29'>There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.30'>and the second:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.31'>and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.32'>Afterward the woman also died.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.33'>In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.34'>And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.35'>but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.36'>for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.37'>But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.38'>Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.39'>And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.40'>For they durst not any more ask him any question.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.41'>And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David`s son?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.42'>For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.43'>Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.44'>David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.45'>And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.46'>Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.20.47'>who devour widows` houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.</verse>

</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Luke.21'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.21.1'>And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.21.2'>And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.21.3'>And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.21.4'>for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.21.5'>And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.21.6'>As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.21.7'>And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are about to come to pass?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.21.8'>And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.3'>And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.5'>And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.22.6'>And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.22.7'>And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.9'>And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.11'>And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.40'>And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.22.41'>And he was parted from them about a stone`s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.43'>And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.44'>And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.45'>And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.46'>and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.22.47'>While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.48'>But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.49'>And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.50'>And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.51'>But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye [them] thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.22.52'>And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.53'>When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.22.54'>And they seized him, and led him [away], and brought him into the high priest`s house. But Peter followed afar off.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.55'>And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.56'>And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light [of the fire], and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.57'>But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.58'>And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art [one] of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.59'>And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.60'>But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.61'>And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.62'>And he went out, and wept bitterly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.63'>And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.64'>And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.65'>And many other things spake they against him, reviling him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.66'>And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.22.67'>If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.22.68'>and if I ask [you], ye will not answer.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.23.1'>And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.2'>And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.3'>And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.4'>And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.23.5'>But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.6'>But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.7'>And when he knew that he was of Herod`s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.8'>Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.9'>And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.10'>And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.23.11'>And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.13'>And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.14'>and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.15'>no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.16'>I will therefore chastise him, and release him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.17'>[Now he must needs release unto them at the feast one prisoner.]</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.19'>one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.20'>And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.23.21'>but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.22'>And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.24'>And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.25'>And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.26'>And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.27'>And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.23.28'>But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.33'>And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.34'>And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.35'>And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.36'>And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.37'>and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Luke.23.38'>And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.40'>But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.41'>And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.</verse>

<verse osisID='Luke.23.49'>And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.50'>And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.51'>(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), [a man] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.52'>this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.53'>And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.54'>And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.55'>And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.23.56'>And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.1'>But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.2'>And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.3'>And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.4'>And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.5'>and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.6'>He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.7'>saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.8'>And they remembered his words,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.9'>and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.10'>Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the [mother] of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.11'>And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.12'>But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.13'>And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.14'>And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.15'>And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.16'>But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.17'>And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.18'>And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.19'>And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.20'>and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.21'>But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.22'>Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.23'>and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.24'>And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.25'>And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.26'>Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.27'>And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.28'>And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.29'>And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.30'>And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking [it] he gave to them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.31'>And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.32'>And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.33'>And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.34'>saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.35'>And they rehearsed the things [that happened] in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.36'>And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.37'>But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.38'>And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.39'>See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.40'>And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.41'>And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.42'>And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.43'>And he took it, and ate before them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.44'>And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.45'>Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.46'>and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.47'>and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.48'>Ye are witnesses of these things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.49'>And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.50'>And he led them out until [they were] over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.51'>And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.52'>And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Luke.24.53'>and were continually in the temple, blessing God.</verse>

<chapter osisID='John.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.1'>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.2'>The same was in the beginning with God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.3'>All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.4'>In him was life; and the life was the light of men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.5'>And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.6'>There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.7'>The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.8'>He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.9'>There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.10'>He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.11'>He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.12'>But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.13'>who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.14'>And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.15'>John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.16'>For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.17'>For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.18'>No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.19'>And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.20'>And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.21'>And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.22'>They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.23'>He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.24'>And they had been sent from the Pharisees.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.25'>And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.26'>John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.27'>[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.28'>These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.29'>On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.30'>This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.31'>And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.32'>And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.33'>And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.34'>And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.35'>Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.36'>and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.37'>And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.38'>And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abideth thou?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.39'>He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.40'>One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter`s brother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.41'>He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.42'>He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.43'>On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.44'>Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.45'>Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.46'>And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.47'>Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.48'>Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.49'>Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.50'>Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.1.51'>And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.</verse>

<chapter osisID='John.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.1'>And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.2'>and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.3'>And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.4'>And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.5'>His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.6'>Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews` manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.7'>Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.8'>And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.9'>And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.10'>and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when [men] have drunk freely, [then] that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.11'>This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.12'>After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and [his] brethren, and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.13'>And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.14'>And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.15'>and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers` money, and overthrew their tables;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.16'>and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father`s house a house of merchandise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.17'>His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.18'>The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.19'>Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.20'>The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.21'>But he spake of the temple of his body.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.22'>When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.23'>Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.24'>But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.2.25'>and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='John.3.2'>the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.</verse>
|

|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.1'>When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.2'>(although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.3'>he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.4'>And he must needs pass through Samaria.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.5'>So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.6'>and Jacob`s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.7'>There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.8'>For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.9'>The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.10'>Jesus answered and said unto unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.11'>The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.12'>Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.13'>Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.14'>but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.15'>The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.16'>Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.17'>The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.18'>for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.19'>The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.20'>Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.21'>Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.22'>Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.23'>But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.24'>God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.25'>The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.26'>Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.27'>And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.28'>So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.29'>Come, see a man, who told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.30'>They went out of the city, and were coming to him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.31'>In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.32'>But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.33'>The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.34'>Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.35'>Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.36'>He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.37'>For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.38'>I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.39'>And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] I did.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.40'>So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.41'>And many more believed because of his word;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.42'>and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.43'>And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.44'>For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.45'>So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.46'>He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.47'>When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought [him] that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.48'>Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.49'>The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.50'>Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.51'>And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.52'>So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.53'>So the father knew that [it was] at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.4.54'>This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.</verse>

<chapter osisID='John.5'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.1'>After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.2'>Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.3'>In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered, [waiting for the moving of the water.]</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.4'>[for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the waters stepped in was made whole, with whatsoever disease he was holden.]</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.5'>And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.6'>When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.7'>The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.8'>Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.9'>And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.10'>So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.11'>But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.12'>They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy bed], and walk?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.13'>But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.14'>Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.15'>The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.16'>And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.17'>But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.18'>For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.19'>Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.20'>For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.5.21'>For as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth them life, even so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.22'>For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.23'>that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.5.24'>Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.25'>Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.26'>For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.5.27'>and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.28'>Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.29'>and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.30'>I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.31'>If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.32'>It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.5.33'>Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.</verse>
|

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.36'>But the witness which I have is greater than [that of] John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.37'>And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.38'>And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.5.39'>Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;</verse>

<verse osisID='John.5.41'>I receive not glory from men.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.6.4'>Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.6.11'>Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.7.2'>Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.7.3'>His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.7.4'>For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.7.5'>For even his brethren did not believe on him.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.7.11'>The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?</verse>

<verse osisID='John.7.13'>Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.7.15'>The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?</verse>

<verse osisID='John.7.16'>Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.7.38'>He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='John.8.52'>The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.1'>And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.2'>And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.3'>Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.4'>We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.5'>When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.6'>When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.7'>and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.8'>The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.9'>Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [he].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.10'>They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.11'>He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.12'>And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.13'>They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.14'>Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.15'>Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.16'>Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.17'>They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.18'>The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.19'>and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.20'>His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.21'>but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.22'>These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.23'>Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.24'>So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.25'>He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.26'>They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.27'>He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.28'>And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.29'>We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.30'>The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and [yet] he opened mine eyes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.31'>We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.32'>Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.33'>If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.34'>They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.35'>Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.36'>He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.37'>Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.38'>And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.39'>And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.40'>Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.9.41'>Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.10.1'>Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.2'>But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.3'>To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.4'>When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.5'>And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.6'>This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.7'>Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.8'>All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.9'>I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.10'>The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.11'>I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='John.10.12'>He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.13'>[he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.14'>I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.15'>even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.16'>And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.17'>Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.18'>No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.19'>There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.20'>And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.21'>Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.22'>And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.23'>it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon`s porch.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.24'>The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.25'>Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father`s name, these bear witness of me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.26'>But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.10.27'>My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='John.10.28'>and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='John.10.29'>My Father, who hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father`s hand.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.30'>I and the Father are one.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.31'>The Jews took up stones again to stone him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.32'>Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.33'>The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.34'>Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.10.35'>If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.10.36'>say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am [the] Son of God?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.10.37'>If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.10.38'>But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.39'>They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.40'>And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there be abode.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.10.41'>And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.</verse>

<chapter osisID='John.11'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.1'>Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.2'>And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.3'>The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.4'>But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.5'>Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.6'>When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.7'>Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.8'>The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.9'>Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.10'>But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.11'>These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.12'>The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.13'>Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.14'>Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.15'>And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.16'>Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.17'>So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.18'>Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.19'>and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.20'>Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.21'>Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.22'>And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.23'>Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.24'>Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.25'>Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.26'>and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.27'>She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, [even] he that cometh into the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.28'>And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is her, and calleth thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.29'>And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.30'>(Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.31'>The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.32'>Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.33'>When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews [also] weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.34'>and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.35'>Jesus wept.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.36'>The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.37'>But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.38'>Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.39'>Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been [dead] four days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.40'>Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.41'>So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.42'>And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.43'>And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.44'>He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.45'>Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.46'>But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.47'>The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.48'>If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.49'>But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.50'>nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.51'>Now this he said not of himself: but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.52'>and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.53'>So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.54'>Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.11.55'>Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves.</verse>

<chapter osisID='John.12'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.1'>Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.2'>So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.3'>Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.4'>But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.5'>Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.6'>Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.7'>Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.8'>For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.9'>The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus` sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.10'>But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.11'>because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.12'>On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.13'>took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.14'>And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.15'>Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass`s colt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.16'>These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.17'>The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.18'>For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.19'>The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.20'>Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.21'>these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.22'>Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.23'>And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.24'>Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.25'>He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.26'>If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.27'>Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.28'>Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, [saying], I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.29'>The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.30'>Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.31'>Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.32'>And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.33'>But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.34'>The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.35'>Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.36'>While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.37'>But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.38'>that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.39'>For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.40'>He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.41'>These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.42'>Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.43'>for they loved the glory [that is] of men more than the glory [that is] of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.44'>And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.45'>And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.46'>I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.47'>And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.48'>He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.49'>For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.12.50'>And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='John.13.1'>Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto his Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them unto the end.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.2'>And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon`s [son], to betray him,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.3'>[Jesus], knowing that the Father had given all the things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto God,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.4'>riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.5'>Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples` feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.6'>So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.7'>Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.8'>Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.9'>Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.10'>Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.11'>For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.12'>So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='John.13.13'>Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.13.14'>If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another`s feet.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.13.22'>The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.13.23'>There was at the table reclining in Jesus` bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.24'>Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell [us] who it is of whom he speaketh.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.25'>He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus` breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.26'>Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, [the son] of Simon Iscariot.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='John.13.27'>And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.28'>Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.29'>For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.13.30'>He then having received the sop went out straightway: and it was night.</verse>
|
||
|

<verse osisID='John.13.31'>When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him;</verse>

<verse osisID='John.13.32'>and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify him.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.13.33'>Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you.</verse>

<chapter osisID='John.18'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.1'>When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.2'>Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.3'>Judas then, having received the band [of soldiers], and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.4'>Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.5'>They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.6'>When therefore he said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.7'>Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.8'>Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.9'>that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.10'>Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest`s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant`s name was Malchus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.11'>Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.12'>So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.13'>and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.14'>Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.15'>And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.16'>but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.17'>The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also [one] of this man`s disciples? He saith, I am not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.18'>Now the servants and the officers were standing [there], having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.19'>The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.20'>Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.21'>Why askest thou me? Ask them that have heard [me], what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I said.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.22'>And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.23'>Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.24'>Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.25'>Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.26'>One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.27'>Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.28'>They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.29'>Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.30'>They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.31'>Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.32'>that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.33'>Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.34'>Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.35'>Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.36'>Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.37'>Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.38'>Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.39'>But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.18.40'>They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.)</verse>

<chapter osisID='John.19'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.1'>Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.2'>And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.3'>and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.4'>And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.5'>Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold, the man!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.6'>When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='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.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.8'>When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.9'>and he entered into the Praetorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.10'>Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.11'>Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.12'>Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar`s friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.13'>When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.14'>Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.15'>They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.16'>Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.17'>They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.18'>where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.19'>And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.20'>This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, [and] in Latin, [and] in Greek.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.21'>The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.22'>Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.23'>The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.24'>They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.25'>These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother`s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.26'>When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.27'>Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own [home].</verse>

<verse osisID='John.19.29'>There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.30'>When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.31'>The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.32'>The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.33'>but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.34'>howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.35'>And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.36'>For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.37'>And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.38'>And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.39'>And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.40'>So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.41'>Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.19.42'>There then because of the Jews` Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.20.1'>Now on the first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.2'>She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.3'>Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.4'>And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.5'>and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.</verse>
|
||
|

<verse osisID='John.20.6'>Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,</verse>

<verse osisID='John.20.7'>and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.8'>Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.9'>For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.10'>So the disciples went away again unto their own home.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.11'>But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;</verse>

|
<verse osisID='John.20.13'>And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.14'>When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.15'>Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.16'>Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.17'>Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.18'>Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and [that] he had said these things unto her.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.19'>When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.20'>And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.21'>Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='John.20.22'>And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:</verse>

<verse osisID='John.20.23'>whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.20.24'>But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.20.25'>The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='John.20.26'>And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.20.27'>Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='John.20.28'>Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='John.20.30'>Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.21.1'>After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested [himself] on this wise.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.2'>There was together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.21.3'>Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.21.5'>Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.21.6'>And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.7'>That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.8'>But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net [full] of fishes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.9'>So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.10'>Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.11'>Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.21.12'>Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.</verse>

<verse osisID='John.21.13'>Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.21.14'>This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.15'>So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.16'>He saith to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.17'>He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.18'>Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.19'>Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.20'>Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.21.21'>Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='John.21.22'>Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee? Follow thou me.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='John.21.23'>This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='John.21.24'>This is the disciple that beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Acts.1.1'>The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.2'>until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.3'>To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.4'>and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said he], ye heard from me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.5'>For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.6'>They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.7'>And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.8'>But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.9'>And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.10'>And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.11'>who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.12'>Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a Sabbath day`s journey off.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.13'>And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas [the son] of James.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.14'>These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.15'>And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a hundred and twenty),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.16'>Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.17'>For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.18'>(Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.21'>Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.22'>beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.23'>And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.1.24'>And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.1.25'>to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.2.3'>And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.2.23'>him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.2.24'>whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.2.25'>For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.2.26'>Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.2.29'>Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.2.30'>Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set [one] upon his throne;</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.2.33'>Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.2.41'>They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added [unto them] in that day about three thousand souls.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.2.42'>And they continued stedfastly in the apostles` teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.2.43'>And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.3.1'>Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, [being] the ninth [hour].</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.2'>And a certain man that was lame from his mother`s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.3'>who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.4'>And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.5'>And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.6'>But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.7'>And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.8'>And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.9'>And all the people saw him walking and praising God:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.10'>and they took knowledge of him, that it was he that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.11'>And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon`s, greatly wondering.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.12'>And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.3.13'>The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.3.14'>But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.4'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.1'>And as they spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.2'>being sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.3'>And they laid hands on them, and put them in ward unto the morrow: for it was now eventide.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.4'>But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.5'>And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.6'>and Annas the high priest [was there], and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.7'>And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.8'>Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.9'>if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.10'>be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] in him doth this man stand here before you whole.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.11'>He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.12'>And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.13'>Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.14'>And seeing the man that was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.15'>But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.16'>saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.17'>But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.18'>And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.19'>But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.20'>for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.21'>And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.22'>For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.23'>And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.24'>And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.25'>who by the Holy Spirit, [by] the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.26'>The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.27'>for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.28'>to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.29'>And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.30'>while thy stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.31'>And when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.32'>And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one [of them] said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.33'>And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.34'>For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.35'>and laid them at the apostles` feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.36'>And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.4.37'>having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles` feet.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.5'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.1'>But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.2'>and kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles` feet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.3'>But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.4'>While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou has not lied unto men, but unto God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.5'>And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.6'>And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.5.7'>And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.5.8'>And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.9'>But Peter [said] unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.10'>And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.11'>And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.12'>And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon`s porch.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.13'>But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.14'>and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of them and women;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.15'>insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.16'>And there also came together the multitudes from the cities round about Jerusalem, bring sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.17'>But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.18'>and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.19'>But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.20'>Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.21'>And when they heard [this], they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.22'>But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.23'>saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.24'>Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.25'>And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.26'>Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, [but] without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.27'>And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.28'>saying, We strictly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man`s blood upon us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.29'>But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.30'>The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.31'>Him did God exalt with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.32'>And we are witnesses of these things; and [so is] the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.33'>But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and minded to slay them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.34'>But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honor of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.35'>And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.36'>For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.37'>After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrolment, and drew away [some of the] people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.38'>And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.39'>but if it is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.40'>And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.41'>They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.5.42'>And every day, in the temple and at home, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus [as] the Christ.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.6.2'>And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.6.3'>Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.6.6'>whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.6.8'>And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.6.10'>And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.11'>Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.15'>And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself and our fathers;</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.17'>But as the time of the promise drew nigh which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.18'>till there arose another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.7.19'>The same dealt craftily with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.24'>And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.25'>and he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.7.26'>And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Acts.7.27'>But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.28'>Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Acts.7.31'>And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord,</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.32'>I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.34'>I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.35'>This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent [to be] both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.37'>This is that Moses, who said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.41'>And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.42'>But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.7.43'>And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the god Rephan, The figures which ye made to worship them: And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.7.45'>Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, that God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.8'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.1'>And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.2'>And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.3'>But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.4'>They therefore that were scattered abroad, went about preaching the word.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.5'>And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.6'>And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.7'>For [from] many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.8'>And there was much joy in that city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.9'>But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.10'>to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.11'>And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.12'>But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.13'>And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.14'>Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.15'>who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.16'>for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.17'>Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.18'>Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles` hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.19'>saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.20'>But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.21'>Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.22'>Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.23'>For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.24'>And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.25'>They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.26'>But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.27'>And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.28'>and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.29'>And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.30'>And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.31'>And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.32'>Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.33'>In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.34'>And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.35'>And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.36'>And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.37'>[And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.]</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.38'>And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.39'>And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.8.40'>But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.9'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.1'>But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.2'>and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.3'>And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.4'>and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.5'>And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.6'>but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.7'>And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.8'>And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.9'>And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.10'>Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.11'>And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.12'>and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.13'>But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.14'>and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.15'>But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.16'>for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name`s sake.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.17'>And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.18'>And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.19'>and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.20'>And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.21'>And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.22'>But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.23'>And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.24'>but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.25'>but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.26'>And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.27'>But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.9.28'>And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.29'>preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.30'>And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.31'>So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.32'>And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.33'>And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.9.36'>Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.9.37'>And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.9.38'>And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.9.39'>And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.9.41'>And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.9.42'>And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.10'>and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.11'>and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.12'>wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.13'>And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.14'>But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.15'>And a voice [came] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.16'>And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.17'>Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon`s house, stood before the gate,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.18'>and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, were lodging there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.19'>And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.20'>But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.21'>And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.22'>And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned [of God] by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.23'>So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.24'>And on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his near friends.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.25'>And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.26'>But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.27'>And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.28'>and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and [yet] unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.29'>wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.30'>And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.31'>and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.32'>Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.33'>Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.34'>And Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.35'>but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.36'>The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all.) --</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.37'>that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.38'>[even] Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.39'>And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.40'>Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.41'>not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.42'>And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained of God [to be] the Judge of the living and the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.43'>To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.44'>While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.45'>And they of the circumcision that believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.46'>For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.47'>Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.10.48'>And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.11'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.1'>Now the apostles and the brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.2'>And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.3'>saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.4'>But Peter began, and expounded [the matter] unto them in order, saying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.5'>I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.6'>upon which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw the fourfooted beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.7'>And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.8'>But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.9'>But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.10'>And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.11'>And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Caesarea unto me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.12'>And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man`s house:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.13'>and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.14'>who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.15'>And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.16'>And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.17'>If then God gave unto them the like gift as [he did] also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.18'>And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.19'>They therefore that were scattered abroad upon the tribulation that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none save only to Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.20'>But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.21'>And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that believed turned unto the Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.22'>And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas as far as Antioch:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.23'>who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad; and he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.24'>for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.25'>And he went forth to Tarsus to seek for Saul;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.26'>and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that even for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught much people, and that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.27'>Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.28'>And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine over all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.29'>And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judea:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.11.30'>which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.</verse>

</chapter>
|

|
|
<chapter osisID='Acts.12'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.1'>Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.2'>And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.3'>And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened bread.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.4'>And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.5'>Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.6'>And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.7'>And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.8'>And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.9'>And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.10'>And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.11'>And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.12'>And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.13'>And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.14'>And when she knew Peter`s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.15'>And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.16'>But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.17'>But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.18'>Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.19'>And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and tarried there.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.20'>Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king`s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king`s country.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.21'>And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.22'>And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.23'>And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.24'>But the word of God grew and multiplied.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.12.25'>And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.13'>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.13.1'>Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.2'>And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.3'>Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.4'>So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.5'>And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.6'>And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.13.7'>who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.13.8'>But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.9'>But Saul, who is also [called] Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.10'>and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.11'>And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.12'>Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.13'>Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.14'>But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.15'>And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.16'>And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.17'>The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.13.18'>And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.13.19'>And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.13.20'>and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.13.21'>And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.22'>And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who shall do all My will.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.13.23'>Of this man`s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.27'>For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.13.28'>And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.13.29'>And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.30'>But God raised him from the dead:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.34'>And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.35'>Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give Thy Holy One to see corruption.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.36'>For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.13.37'>but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.13.42'>And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.44'>And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.45'>But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.46'>And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.47'>For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.48'>And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.49'>And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.50'>But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.13.51'>But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.13.52'>And the disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.14'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.1'>And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.2'>But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.3'>Long time therefore they tarried [there] speaking boldly in the Lord, who bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.4'>But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.5'>And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.6'>they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.7'>and there they preached the gospel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.8'>And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother`s womb, who never had walked.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.9'>The same heard Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.10'>said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.11'>And when the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.12'>And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.13'>And the priest of Jupiter whose [temple] was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.14'>But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, crying out</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.15'>and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.16'>who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.17'>And yet He left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.18'>And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.19'>But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.20'>But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.21'>And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.22'>confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.23'>And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.24'>And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.25'>And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.26'>and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.27'>And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.14.28'>And they tarried no little time with the disciples.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.15'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.1'>And certain men came down from Judaea and taught the brethren, [saying], Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.2'>And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and questioning with them, [the brethren] appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.3'>They therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.4'>And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed all things that God had done with them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.5'>But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.6'>And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of this matter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.7'>And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.8'>And God, who knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did unto us;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.9'>and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.10'>Now therefore why make ye trial of God, that ye should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.11'>But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.12'>And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.13'>And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.14'>Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.15'>And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.16'>After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.17'>That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.18'>Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.19'>Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.20'>but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.21'>For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.22'>Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; [namely], Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.23'>and they wrote [thus] by them, The apostles and the elders, brethren, unto the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.24'>Forasmuch as we have heard that certain who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.25'>it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.26'>men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.27'>We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.28'>For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.29'>that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.30'>So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.31'>And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.32'>And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.33'>And after they had spent some time [there], they were dismissed in peace from the brethren unto those that had sent them forth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.34'>[But it seemed good unto Silas to abide there.]</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.35'>But Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.36'>And after some days Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city wherein we proclaimed the word of the Lord, [and see] how they fare.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.37'>And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.38'>But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.39'>And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.40'>but Paul choose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.15.41'>And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.</verse>
|

|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Acts.16'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.1'>And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.2'>The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.3'>Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.4'>And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.5'>So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.6'>And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.7'>and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.8'>and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.9'>And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.10'>And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.11'>Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.12'>and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.13'>And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.14'>And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.15'>And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.16'>And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.17'>The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.18'>And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.19'>But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.20'>and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.21'>and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.22'>And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.23'>And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.24'>who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.25'>But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.26'>and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one`s bands were loosed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.27'>And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.28'>But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.29'>And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.30'>and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.31'>And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.32'>And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.33'>And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.34'>And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.35'>But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.36'>And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.37'>But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? Nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.38'>And the sergeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.39'>and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.16.40'>And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house] of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.17'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.1'>Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.2'>and Paul, as his custom was, went in unto them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.3'>opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, [said he,] I proclaim unto you, is the Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.4'>And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas, and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.5'>But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them forth to the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.6'>And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.7'>whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.8'>And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.9'>And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.10'>And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.11'>Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.12'>Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.13'>But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.14'>And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.15'>But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.16'>Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he beheld the city full of idols.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.17'>So he reasoned in the synagogue with Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with them that met him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.18'>And certain also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, What would this babbler say? others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.19'>And they took hold of him, and brought him unto the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by thee?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.20'>For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.17.21'>(Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.22'>And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, Ye men of Athens, in all things, I perceive that ye are very religious.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.23'>For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. What therefore ye worship in ignorance, this I set forth unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.24'>The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.25'>neither is he served by men`s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.26'>and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined [their] appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.27'>that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.28'>for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.29'>Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.30'>The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.31'>inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.32'>Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear thee concerning this yet again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.33'>Thus Paul went out from among them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.17.34'>But certain men clave unto him, and believed: among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.1'>After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.2'>And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.3'>and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought, for by their trade they were tentmakers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.4'>And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.5'>But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.6'>And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.7'>And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.8'>And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.9'>And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.10'>for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.11'>And he dwelt [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.12'>But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-seat,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.13'>saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.14'>But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.15'>but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.16'>And he drove them from the judgment-seat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.17'>And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.18'>And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreae; for he had a vow.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.19'>And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.20'>And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.21'>but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.22'>And when he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.23'>And having spent some time [there], he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.24'>Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.25'>This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.26'>and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.27'>And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much that had believed through grace;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.18.28'>for he powerfully confuted the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.19'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.1'>And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.2'>and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was [given].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.3'>And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John`s baptism.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.4'>And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.5'>And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.6'>And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.7'>And they were in all about twelve men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.8'>And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading [as to] the things concerning the kingdom of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.9'>But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.10'>And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.11'>And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.12'>insomuch that unto the sick were carried away from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the evil spirits went out.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.13'>But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.14'>And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.15'>And the evil spirit answered and said unto them, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.16'>And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and mastered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.17'>And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.18'>Many also of them that had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.19'>And not a few of them that practised magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.20'>So mightily grew the word of the Lord and prevailed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.21'>Now after these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.22'>And having sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.23'>And about that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.24'>For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.25'>whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.26'>And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.27'>and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.28'>And when they heard this they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.29'>And the city was filled with the confusion: and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul`s companions in travel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.30'>And when Paul was minded to enter in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.31'>And certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent unto him and besought him not to adventure himself into the theatre.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.32'>Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was in confusion; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.33'>And they brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made a defense unto the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.34'>But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.35'>And when the townclerk had quieted the multitude, he saith, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.36'>Seeing then that these things cannot be gainsaid, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.37'>For ye have brought [hither] these men, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.38'>If therefore Demetrius, and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.39'>But if ye seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.40'>For indeed we are in danger to be accused concerning this day`s riot, there being no cause [for it]: and as touching it we shall not be able to give account of this concourse.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.19.41'>And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.20'>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.20.1'>And after the uproar ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.2'>And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.3'>And when he had spent three months [there,] and a plot was laid against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.4'>And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater of Beroea, [the son] of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.</verse>
|
||

<verse osisID='Acts.20.5'>But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.20.6'>And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.20.8'>And there were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.9'>And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.10'>And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.11'>And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.12'>And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.13'>But we going before to the ship set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.20.14'>And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.20.15'>And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.20.16'>For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.20.17'>And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders of the church.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.20.18'>And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time,</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.21.16'>And there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.21.17'>And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.21.18'>And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.19'>And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles through his ministry.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.20'>And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them that have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.21'>and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.22'>What is it therefore? They will certainly hear that thou art come.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.23'>Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men that have a vow on them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.24'>these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.25'>But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.26'>Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.27'>And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.28'>crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.29'>For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.30'>And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.31'>And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.32'>And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.33'>Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.34'>And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.35'>And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.36'>for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.37'>And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.38'>Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.39'>But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.21.40'>And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.22.1'>Brethren and fathers, hear ye the defence which I now make unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.2'>And when they heard that he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet: and he saith,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.3'>I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.4'>and I persecuted this Way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.5'>As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and journeyed to Damascus to bring them also that were there unto Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.6'>And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.7'>And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.8'>And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.9'>And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.10'>And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.11'>And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me I came into Damascus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.12'>And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.13'>came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.14'>And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.15'>For thou shalt be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.16'>And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.17'>And it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.18'>and saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive of thee testimony concerning me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.19'>And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.20'>and when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of them that slew him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.22.21'>And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.22'>And they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.23'>And as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.24'>the chief captain commanded him be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.25'>And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.26'>And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.27'>And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.28'>And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am [a Roman] born.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.29'>They then that were about to examine him straightway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.22.30'>But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.23'>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.23.1'>And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.2'>And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.3'>Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.4'>And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God`s high priest?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.5'>And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.6'>But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.7'>And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.8'>For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.9'>And there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.10'>And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.11'>And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.12'>And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.13'>And they were more than forty that made this conspiracy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.14'>And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.15'>Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to slay him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.16'>But Paul`s sister`s son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.17'>And Paul called unto him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.18'>So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and saith, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and asked me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say to thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.19'>And the chief captain took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is it that thou hast to tell me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.20'>And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow unto the council, as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.21'>Do not thou therefore yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him: and now are they ready, looking for the promise from thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.22'>So the chief captain let the young man go, charging him, Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.23'>And he called unto him two of the centurions, and said, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.24'>and [he bade them] provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.25'>And he wrote a letter after this form:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.26'>Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.27'>This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.28'>And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.29'>whom I found to be accused about questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.30'>And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.31'>So the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.32'>But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.33'>and they, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.34'>And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.23.35'>I will hear thee fully, said he, when thine accusers also are come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod`s palace.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Acts.24.1'>And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with certain elders, and [with] an orator, one Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.2'>And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy much peace, and that by the providence evils are corrected for this nation,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.3'>we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.24.4'>But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.5'>For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.6'>who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold: [and we would have judged him according to our law.]</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.24.9'>And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.10'>And when the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, Paul answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I cheerfully make my defense:</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.24.11'>Seeing that thou canst take knowledge that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem:</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.24.12'>and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.13'>Neither can they prove to thee the things whereof they now accuse me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.14'>But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.15'>having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.16'>Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.17'>Now after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.18'>amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but [there were] certain Jews from Asia--</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.19'>who ought to have been here before thee, and to make accusation, if they had aught against me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.20'>Or else let these men themselves say what wrong-doing they found when I stood before the council,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.21'>except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question before you this day.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.22'>But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.23'>And he gave order to the centurion that he should be kept in charge, and should have indulgence; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister unto him.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.24'>But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.25'>And as he reasoned of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.24.26'>He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.25.16'>To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.17'>When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.18'>Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.19'>but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.20'>And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.21'>But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.22'>And Agrippa [said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.23'>So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.24'>And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.25'>But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.26'>Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.25.27'>For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.26.1'>And Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and made his defence:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.2'>I think myself happy, king Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before thee this day touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.3'>especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.4'>My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among mine own nation and at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.5'>having knowledge of me from the first, if they be willing to testify, that after the straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.6'>And now I stand [here] to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.7'>unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, earnestly serving [God] night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.8'>Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.9'>I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.10'>And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.11'>And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.12'>Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.13'>at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.14'>And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.15'>And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.16'>But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee;</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.26.17'>delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.18'>to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.19'>Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.20'>but declared both to them of Damascus first and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.21'>For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.22'>Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.23'>how that the Christ must suffer, [and] how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.24'>And as he thus made his defense, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.25'>But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.26.26'>For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner.</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.26.27'>King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.</verse>
|

<chapter osisID='Acts.27'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.1'>And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.2'>And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.3'>And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.4'>And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.5'>And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.6'>And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.7'>And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.8'>and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.9'>And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.10'>and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.11'>But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.12'>And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there; which is] a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.13'>And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.14'>But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.15'>and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it,] and were driven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.16'>And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.17'>and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.18'>And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the [the freight] overboard;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.19'>and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.20'>And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us,] all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.21'>And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.22'>And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.23'>For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.24'>saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.25'>Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.26'>But we must be cast upon a certain island.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.27'>But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.28'>and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.29'>And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.30'>And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.31'>Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.32'>Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.33'>And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.34'>Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.35'>And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.36'>Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.37'>And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.38'>And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.39'>And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.40'>And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.41'>But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.42'>And the soldiers` counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.43'>But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.27.44'>and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Acts.28'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.1'>And when we were escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.2'>And the barbarians showed us no common kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.3'>But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.4'>And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.5'>Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.6'>But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.7'>Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and entertained us three days courteously.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.8'>And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.9'>And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.10'>who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.11'>And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.12'>And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.13'>And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.14'>where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.15'>And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.16'>And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.17'>And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.18'>who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.19'>But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.20'>For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with [me]: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.21'>And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.22'>But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.23'>And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded [the matter,] testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.24'>And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.28.25'>And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers,</verse>

<verse osisID='Acts.28.26'>saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Acts.28.27'>For this people`s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest, haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Acts.28.28'>Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear.</verse>

<verse osisID='Rom.4.1'>What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh?</verse>

<verse osisID='Rom.4.2'>For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.3'>For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.4'>Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.5'>But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.6'>Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.7'>[saying], Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.8'>Blessed is the man to whom, the Lord will not reckon sin.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.9'>Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.10'>How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.11'>and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.12'>and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.13'>For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.14'>For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.15'>for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.16'>For this cause [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.17'>(as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.18'>Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.19'>And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah`s womb;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.20'>yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.21'>and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.22'>Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.23'>Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.4.24'>but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,</verse>

<verse osisID='Rom.5.4'>and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.5.6'>For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Rom.5.11'>and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Rom.5.12'>Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:--</verse>

<verse osisID='Rom.5.13'>for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law.</verse>
|

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.5.15'>But not as the trespass, so also [is] the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.5.16'>And not as through one that sinned, [so] is the gift: for the judgment [came] of one unto condemnation, but the free gift [came] of many trespasses unto justification.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.5.17'>For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, [even] Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.5.18'>So then as through one trespass [the judgment came] unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness [the free gift came] unto all men to justification of life.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.5.19'>For as through the one man`s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.</verse>
|

<chapter osisID='Rom.7'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.1'>Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.2'>For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.3'>So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.4'>Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, [even] to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.5'>For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.6'>But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.7'>What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.8'>but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin [is] dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.9'>And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.10'>and the commandment, which [was] unto life, this I found [to be] unto death:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.11'>for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.12'>So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.13'>Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; --that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.14'>For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.15'>For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.16'>But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.17'>So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.18'>For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good [is] not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.19'>For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.20'>But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.21'>I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.22'>For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.23'>but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.24'>Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.7.25'>I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Rom.8'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.1'>There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.2'>For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.3'>For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.4'>that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.5'>For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.6'>For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.7'>because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.8'>and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.9'>But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.10'>And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.11'>But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.12'>So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.13'>for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.14'>For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.15'>For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.16'>The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.17'>and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified with [him].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.18'>For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.19'>For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.20'>For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.21'>that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.22'>For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.23'>And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.24'>For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.25'>But if we hope for that which we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.26'>And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for [us] with groanings which cannot be uttered;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.27'>and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.28'>And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [his] purpose.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.29'>For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.30'>and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.31'>What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.32'>He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.33'>Who shall lay anything to the charge of God`s elect? It is God that justifieth;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.34'>who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.35'>Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.36'>Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.37'>Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.38'>For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.8.39'>nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Rom.9'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.1'>I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.2'>that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.3'>For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren`s sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.4'>who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.5'>whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.6'>But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.7'>neither, because they are Abraham`s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.8'>That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.9'>For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.10'>And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac--</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.11'>for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.12'>it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.13'>Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.14'>What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.15'>For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.16'>So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.17'>For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.18'>So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.19'>Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.20'>Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.21'>Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.22'>What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.23'>and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.24'>[even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.25'>As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.26'>And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.27'>And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.28'>for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.29'>And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.30'>What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.31'>but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.32'>Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.9.33'>even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Rom.10'>
|

<verse osisID='Rom.10.1'>Brethren, my heart`s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.2'>For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.3'>For being ignorant of God`s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.4'>For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.5'>For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.6'>But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.7'>or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (That is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.8'>But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.9'>because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.10'>for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.11'>For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.12'>For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.13'>for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.14'>How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.15'>and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.16'>But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.17'>So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.18'>But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.19'>But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Rom.10.20'>And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Rom.11.2'>God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:</verse>

<verse osisID='1Cor.1.22'>Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:</verse>

<verse osisID='1Cor.7.32'>But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Cor.7.35'>And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Cor.7.36'>But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Cor.14.5'>Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Cor.14.6'>But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Cor.14.7'>Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?</verse>

<verse osisID='1Cor.14.13'>Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Cor.14.26'>What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Cor.14.27'>If any man speaketh in a tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most three, and [that] in turn; and let one interpret:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Cor.14.28'>but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Cor.14.29'>And let the prophets speak [by] two or three, and let the others discern.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Cor.14.30'>But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Cor.14.31'>For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted;</verse>
|

<chapter osisID='2Cor.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.1'>Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in the whole of Achaia:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.2'>Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.3'>Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.4'>who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.5'>For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.6'>But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.7'>and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.8'>For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell [us] in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.9'>yea, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.10'>who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.11'>ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.12'>For our glorifying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.13'>For we write no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.14'>as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.15'>And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.16'>and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judaea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.17'>When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.18'>But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.19'>For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.20'>For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.21'>Now he that establisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.22'>who also sealed us, and gave [us] the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.23'>But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.1.24'>Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Cor.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.1'>But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.2'>For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.3'>And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.4'>For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.5'>But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.6'>Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was [inflicted] by the many;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.7'>so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.8'>Wherefore I beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.9'>For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.10'>But to whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes [have I forgiven it] in the presence of Christ;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.11'>that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.12'>Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.13'>I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.14'>But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.15'>For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.16'>to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.2.17'>For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Cor.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.1'>Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.2'>Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.3'>being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables [that are] hearts of flesh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.4'>And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.5'>not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.6'>who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.7'>But if the ministration of death, written, [and] engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which [glory] was passing away:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.8'>how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.9'>For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.10'>For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.11'>For if that which passeth away [was] with glory, much more that which remaineth [is] in glory.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.12'>Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.13'>and [are] not as Moses, [who] put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.14'>but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed [to them] that it is done away in Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.15'>But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.16'>But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.17'>Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.3.18'>But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Cor.4'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.1'>Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.2'>but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man`s conscience in the sight of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.3'>And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.4'>in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.5'>For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus` sake.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.6'>Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.7'>But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.8'>[we are] pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.9'>pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.10'>always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.11'>For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus` sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.12'>So then death worketh in us, but life in you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.13'>But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.14'>knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.15'>For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.16'>Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.17'>For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.4.18'>while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Cor.5'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.1'>For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.2'>For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.3'>if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.4'>For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.5'>Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.6'>Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord</verse>

|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.7'>(for we walk by faith, not by sight);</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.8'>we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.9'>Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.10'>For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.11'>Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.12'>We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but [speak] as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and not in heart.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.13'>For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.14'>For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.15'>and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.16'>Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.17'>Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.18'>But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.19'>to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.5.20'>We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.</verse>

In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Cor.7.12'>So although I wrote unto you, I [wrote] not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Cor.7.13'>Therefore we have been comforted: And in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Cor.7.14'>For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Cor.8.1'>Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.2'>how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.3'>For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, [they gave] of their own accord,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.4'>beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.5'>and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.6'>Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.7'>But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.8'>I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.9'>For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.10'>And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.11'>But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.12'>For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.13'>For [I say] not [this] that others may be eased [and] ye distressed;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.14'>but by equality: your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.15'>as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Cor.8.16'>But thanks be to God, who putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Cor.8.17'>For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Cor.8.18'>And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is spread] through all the churches;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Cor.8.19'>and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [to show] our readiness:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.20'>Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is ministered by us:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.21'>for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.22'>and we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he hath] in you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.8.23'>Whether [any inquire] about Titus, [he is] my partner and [my] fellow-worker to you-ward, or our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Cor.9.1'>For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.2'>for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.3'>But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.4'>lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.5'>I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.6'>But this [I say,] He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Cor.9.7'>[Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.8'>And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.9'>as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.</verse>
|

|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.12'>For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.9.13'>seeing that through the proving [of you] by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of [your] contribution unto them and unto all;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='2Cor.9.14'>while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='2Cor.10.1'>Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.10.2'>yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present show courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, who count of us as if we walked according to the flesh.</verse>

<verse osisID='2Cor.10.9'>that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='2Cor.10.12'>For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.10.13'>But we will not glory beyond [our] measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.10.14'>For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in the gospel of Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.10.15'>not glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is,] in other men`s labors; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Cor.10.16'>so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another`s province in regard of things ready to our hand.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='2Cor.10.17'>But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Gal.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.1'>Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.2'>and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.3'>Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.4'>who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.5'>to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.6'>I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.7'>which is not another [gospel] only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.8'>But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.9'>As we have said before, so say I now again, if any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.10'>For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.11'>For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.12'>For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.13'>For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews` religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.14'>and I advanced in the Jews` religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.15'>But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother`s womb, and called me through his grace,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.16'>to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.17'>neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.18'>Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.19'>But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord`s brother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.20'>Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.21'>Then I came unto the regions of Syria and Cilicia.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.22'>And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.23'>but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.1.24'>and they glorified God in me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Gal.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.1'>Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.2'>And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.3'>But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.4'>and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.5'>to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.6'>But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man`s person)-- they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.7'>but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with [the gospel] of the circumcision</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.8'>(for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.9'>and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.10'>only [they would] that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.11'>But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.12'>For before that certain came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.13'>And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.14'>But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.15'>We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.16'>yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.17'>But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.18'>For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.19'>For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.20'>I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.2.21'>I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Gal.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.1'>O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.2'>This only would I learn from you. Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.3'>Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.4'>Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.5'>He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.6'>Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.7'>Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.8'>And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, [saying,] In thee shall all the nations be blessed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.9'>So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.10'>For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.11'>Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.12'>and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.13'>Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.14'>that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.15'>Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a man`s covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.16'>Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.17'>Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.18'>For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.19'>What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; [and it was] ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.20'>Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one; but God is one.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.21'>Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.22'>But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.23'>But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.24'>So that the law is become our tutor [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.25'>But now faith that is come, we are no longer under a tutor.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.26'>For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.27'>For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.28'>There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.3.29'>And if ye are Christ`s, then are ye Abraham`s seed, heirs according to promise.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Gal.4'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.1'>But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a bondservant though he is lord of all;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.2'>but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed of the father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.3'>So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.4'>but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.5'>that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.6'>And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.7'>So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.8'>Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.9'>but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.10'>Ye observe days, and months, and seasons, and years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.11'>I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.12'>I beseech you, brethren, become as I [am], for I also [am become] as ye [are]. Ye did me no wrong:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.13'>but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.14'>and that which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.15'>Where then is that gratulation of yourselves? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.16'>So then am I become your enemy, by telling you the truth?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.17'>They zealously seek you in no good way; nay, they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.18'>But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.19'>My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you--</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.20'>but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I am perplexed about you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.21'>Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.22'>For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.23'>Howbeit the [son] by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the [son] by the freewoman [is born] through promise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.24'>Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.25'>Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.26'>But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.27'>For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath the husband.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.28'>Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.29'>But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, so also it is now.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.30'>Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.4.31'>Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Gal.5'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.1'>For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.2'>Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.3'>Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.4'>Ye are severed from Christ, ye would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.5'>For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.6'>For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.7'>Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.8'>This persuasion [came] not of him that calleth you.</verse>

<verse osisID='Gal.5.9'>A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.10'>I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.11'>But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.12'>I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.13'>For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only [use] not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.14'>For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.15'>But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Gal.5.16'>But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.17'>For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.18'>But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.19'>Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.20'>idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.21'>envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.22'>But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.23'>meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Gal.5.24'>And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Gal.5.25'>If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eph.1.1'>Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.2'>Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.3'>Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.4'>even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.5'>having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.6'>to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.7'>in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.8'>which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.9'>making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.10'>unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, [I say,]</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.11'>in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.12'>to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.13'>in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.14'>which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God`s] own possession, unto the praise of his glory.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.15'>For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which [ye show] toward all the saints,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.16'>cease not to give thanks for you, making mention [of you] in my prayers;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.17'>that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.18'>having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.19'>and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.20'>which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly [places],</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.21'>far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.1.22'>and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='Eph.1.23'>which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Eph.2'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.1'>And you [did he make alive,] when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.2'>wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.3'>among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:--</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.4'>but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.5'>even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.6'>and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.7'>that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.8'>for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.9'>not of works, that no man should glory.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.10'>For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.11'>Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.12'>that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.13'>But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.14'>For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.15'>having abolished in the flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, [so] making peace;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.16'>and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.17'>and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.18'>for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.19'>So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.20'>being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.2.21'>in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.2'>if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eph.3.3'>how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Eph.3.5'>which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.6'>[to wit], that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.7'>whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.8'>Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;</verse>

<verse osisID='Eph.3.9'>and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.10'>to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly [places] might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.11'>according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:</verse>

<verse osisID='Eph.3.12'>in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eph.3.14'>For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.15'>from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.16'>that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.3.17'>that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,</verse>

<verse osisID='Eph.4.1'>I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.2'>with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.3'>giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.4'>[There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.5'>one Lord, one faith, one baptism,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.6'>one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.7'>But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.8'>Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.9'>(Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.11'>And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.12'>for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.13'>till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.14'>that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.15'>but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, [even] Christ;</verse>

|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.16'>from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in [due] measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.17'>This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.18'>being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.19'>who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.20'>But ye did not so learn Christ;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.21'>if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.22'>that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.23'>and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.24'>and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.25'>Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.26'>Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.27'>neither give place to the devil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.28'>Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.29'>Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.30'>And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.4.31'>Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eph.4.32'>and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eph.5.2'>and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Eph.5.3'>But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Eph.5.4'>nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='Eph.5.11'>and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;</verse>

<verse osisID='Eph.5.12'>for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.</verse>

<verse osisID='Eph.5.22'>Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.1'>Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.2'>Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.3'>I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.4'>always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.5'>for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.6'>being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.7'>even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.8'>For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.9'>And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.10'>so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.11'>being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.12'>Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.13'>so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.14'>and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.15'>Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.16'>the one [do it] of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.17'>but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.18'>What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.19'>For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.20'>according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.21'>For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.22'>But if to live in the flesh, --[if] this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.23'>But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.24'>yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.25'>And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.26'>that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.27'>Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.28'>and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.29'>because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.1.30'>having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.</verse>

<chapter osisID='Phil.2'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.1'>If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.2'>make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.3'>[doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.4'>not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.5'>Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.6'>who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.7'>but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.8'>and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient [even] unto death, yea, the death of the cross.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.9'>Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.10'>that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven and [things] on earth and [things] under the earth,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.11'>and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.12'>So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.13'>for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.14'>Do all things without murmurings and questionings:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.15'>that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.16'>holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.17'>Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.18'>and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.19'>But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.20'>For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.21'>For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.22'>But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child [serveth] a father, [so] he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.23'>Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.24'>but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.25'>But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.26'>since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.27'>for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.28'>I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.29'>Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.2.30'>because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.</verse>

|

<verse osisID='Phil.3.1'>Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.2'>Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.3'>for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.4'>though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.5'>circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.6'>as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.7'>Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.8'>Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.9'>and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, [even] that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.10'>that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.11'>if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.12'>Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.13'>Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.14'>I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.15'>Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.16'>only, whereunto we have attained, by that same [rule] let us walk.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.17'>Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.18'>For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.19'>whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and [whose] glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.20'>For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Phil.3.21'>who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, [that it may be] conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.</verse>

<verse osisID='1Thess.1.2'>We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Thess.1.3'>remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.1.4'>knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.1.5'>how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.1.6'>And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;</verse>

<verse osisID='1Thess.1.7'>so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.1.8'>For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.1.9'>For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,</verse>

<verse osisID='1Thess.1.10'>and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.</verse>

<chapter osisID='1Thess.2'>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.1'>For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.2'>but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.3'>For our exhortation [is] not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.4'>but even as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who proveth our hearts.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.5'>For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.6'>nor seeking glory of men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.7'>But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.8'>even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.9'>For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.10'>Ye are witnesses, and God [also], how holily and righteously and unblameably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.11'>as ye know how we [dealt with] each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging [you], and testifying,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.12'>to the end that ye should walk worthily of God, who calleth you into his own kingdom and glory.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.13'>And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, [even the word] of God, ye accepted [it] not [as] the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.14'>For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.15'>who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.16'>forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.17'>But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.18'>because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.2.19'>For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.3.5'>For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.3.6'>But when Timothy came even now unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, even as we also [to see] you;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.3.7'>for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith:</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Thess.3.8'>for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.3.9'>For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;</verse>

|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.2'>For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.3'>For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.4'>that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.5'>not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.6'>that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.7'>For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.8'>Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.9'>But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.10'>for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound more and more;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.11'>and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.12'>that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.13'>But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.14'>For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.15'>For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.</verse>

|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.16'>For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.4.17'>then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Thess.5.2'>For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.5.3'>When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Thess.5.4'>But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:</verse>

|

|

<verse osisID='Heb.1.1'>God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.2'>hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.3'>who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.4'>having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.5'>For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.6'>And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.7'>And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame a fire:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.8'>but of the Son [he saith,] Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.9'>Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.1.10'>And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:</verse>

<verse osisID='Heb.1.11'>They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;</verse>
|

|

<verse osisID='Heb.1.13'>But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?</verse>

<chapter osisID='Heb.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.1'>Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away [from them].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.2'>For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.3'>how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.4'>God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.5'>For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.6'>But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.7'>Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.8'>Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.9'>But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every [man].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.10'>For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.11'>For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.12'>saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Heb.2.13'>And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.14'>Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.15'>and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.16'>For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.17'>Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.</verse>
|

|
<verse osisID='Heb.2.18'>For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.</verse>

</chapter>
|

|
|
<chapter osisID='Heb.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.1'>Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.2'>who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.3'>For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.4'>For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.5'>And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.6'>but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.7'>Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.8'>Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.9'>Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me,] And saw my works forty years.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.10'>Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.11'>As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.12'>Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.13'>but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.14'>for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.15'>while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.16'>For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.17'>And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.18'>And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.3.19'>And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.</verse>
|
||
|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Heb.4'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.1'>Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.2'>For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.3'>For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.4'>For he hath said somewhere of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.5'>and in this [place] again, They shall not enter into my rest.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.6'>Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.7'>he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.8'>For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.9'>There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.10'>For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.11'>Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.12'>For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.13'>And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.14'>Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.15'>For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.4.16'>Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help [us] in time of need.</verse>

||
|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Heb.5'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.1'>For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.2'>who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.3'>and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.4'>And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.5'>So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.6'>as he saith also in another [place,] Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.7'>Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.8'>though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.9'>and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.10'>named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.11'>Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.12'>For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.13'>For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.5.14'>But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.</verse>
|
||
|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Heb.6'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.1'>Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.2'>of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.3'>And this will we do, if God permit.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.4'>For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.5'>and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.6'>and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.7'>For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.8'>but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.9'>But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.10'>for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.11'>And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.12'>that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.13'>For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.14'>saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.15'>And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.16'>For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.17'>Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.6.18'>that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:</verse>
|

<verse osisID='Heb.6.19'>which we have as an anchor of the soul, [a hope] both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;</verse>

</chapter>
|

|
<chapter osisID='Heb.7'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.1'>For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.2'>to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.3'>without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.4'>Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.5'>And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest`s office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.6'>but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.7'>But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.8'>And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.9'>And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.10'>for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.11'>Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need [was there] that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.12'>For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.13'>For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.14'>For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.15'>And [what we say] is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.16'>who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.17'>for it is witnessed [of him,] Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.18'>For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.19'>(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.20'>And inasmuch as [it is] not without the taking of an oath</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.21'>(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that saith of him, The Lord sware and will not repent himself, Thou art a priest for ever);</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.22'>by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.23'>And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.24'>but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.25'>Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.26'>For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.27'>who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the [sins] of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.7.28'>For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, [appointeth] a Son, perfected for evermore.</verse>
|
||
|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Heb.8'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.1'>Now in the things which we are saying the chief point [is this]: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.2'>a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.3'>For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this [high priest] also have somewhat to offer.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.4'>Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.5'>who serve [that which is] a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned [of God] when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.6'>But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.7'>For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.8'>For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.9'>Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.10'>For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.11'>And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.12'>For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.8.13'>In that he saith, A new [covenant] he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.</verse>
|
||
|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Heb.9'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.1'>Now even a first [covenant] had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, [a sanctuary] of this world.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.2'>For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein [were] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.3'>And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.4'>having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron`s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.5'>and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.6'>Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.7'>but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.8'>the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.9'>which [is] a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.10'>[being] only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.11'>But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.12'>nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.13'>For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.14'>how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.15'>And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.16'>For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.17'>For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.18'>Wherefore even the first [covenant] hath not been dedicated without blood.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.19'>For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.20'>saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.21'>Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.22'>And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.23'>It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.24'>For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.25'>nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.26'>else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.27'>And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.9.28'>so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
</chapter>
|
||
|
|
<chapter osisID='Heb.10'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.1'>For the law having a shadow of the good [things] to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.2'>Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.3'>But in those [sacrifices] there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.4'>For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.5'>Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.6'>In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hadst no pleasure:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.7'>Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.8'>Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.9'>then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.10'>By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.11'>And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.12'>but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.13'>henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.14'>For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.15'>And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.16'>This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; [then saith he,]</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.17'>And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.18'>Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.19'>Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.20'>by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.21'>and [having] a great priest over the house of God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.22'>let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.23'>let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.24'>and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.25'>not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting [one another]; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.26'>For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.27'>but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.28'>A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on [the word of] two or three witnesses:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.29'>of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.30'>For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.31'>It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.32'>But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.33'>partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.34'>For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of you possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.35'>Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.36'>For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.37'>For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.38'>But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.10.39'>But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='Heb.11.5'>By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto God:</verse>

<verse osisID='1Pet.3.2'>beholding your chaste behavior [coupled] with fear.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Pet.3.3'>Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;</verse>

|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.5'>For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.6'>as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.7'>Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.</verse>

|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.12'>For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Pet.3.13'>And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.14'>But even if ye should suffer for righteousness` sake, blessed [are ye:] and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.15'>but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.16'>having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.17'>For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.18'>Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.19'>in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,</verse>
|

<verse osisID='1Pet.3.20'>that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='1Pet.3.21'>which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Pet.1'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.1'>Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and [the] Saviour Jesus Christ:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.2'>Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.3'>seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.4'>whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.5'>Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.6'>and in [your] knowledge self-control; and in [your] self-control patience; and in [your] patience godliness;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.7'>and in [your] godliness brotherly kindness; and in [your] brotherly kindness love.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.8'>For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.9'>For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.10'>Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.11'>for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.12'>Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with [you].</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.13'>And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.14'>knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.15'>Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.16'>For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.17'>For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.18'>and this voice we [ourselves] heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.19'>And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.20'>knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.1.21'>For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.</verse>

|
<chapter osisID='2Pet.2'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.1'>But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.2'>And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.3'>And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.4'>For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.5'>and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.6'>and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly;</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.7'>and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.8'>(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] lawless deeds):</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.9'>the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.10'>but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.11'>whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.12'>But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.13'>suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; [men] that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceivings while they feast with you;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.14'>having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.15'>forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the [son] of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.16'>but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man`s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.17'>These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.18'>For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.19'>promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.20'>For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.21'>For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.2.22'>It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.</verse>

<chapter osisID='2Pet.3'>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.1'>This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.2'>that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.3'>knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.4'>and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.5'>For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.6'>by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.7'>but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.8'>But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.9'>The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.10'>But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.11'>Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in [all] holy living and godliness,</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.12'>looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.13'>But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.14'>Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.15'>And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you;</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.16'>as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.17'>Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these things] beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness.</verse>
|
||
|
|
<verse osisID='2Pet.3.18'>But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] the glory both now and for ever. Amen.</verse>

<verse osisID='Rev.17.7'>And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.</verse>

<verse osisID='Rev.17.9'>Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:</verse>

<verse osisID='Rev.17.12'>And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Rev.17.13'>These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.</verse>
|

|
|
<verse osisID='Rev.17.14'>These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they [also shall overcome] that are with him, called and chosen and faithful.</verse>

<verse osisID='Rev.17.16'>And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire.</verse>
