Mrk 1:3 ... ‘Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming! Clear the road for him!’
Mrk 1:7 John announced: “Someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—...
Mrk 1:8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!”
Mrk 1:11 And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.”
Mrk 1:15 ...“The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!”
Mrk 1:17 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”
Mrk 1:18 And they left their nets at once and followed him.
Mrk 1:20 He called them at once, and they also followed him, leaving their father...
Mrk 1:35 Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.
Mrk 1:38 But Jesus replied, “We must go on to other towns as well, and I will preach to them, too. That is why I came.”
Mrk 1:40 A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. “If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,”
Mrk 1:45 But the man went and spread the word, proclaiming to everyone what had happened. As a result, large crowds soon surrounded Jesus,..
Mrk 2:5 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”
Mrk 2:11 “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!”
Mrk 2:12 ...They were all amazed and praised God, exclaiming, “We’ve never seen anything like this before!”
Mrk 2:14 ...“Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Levi got up and followed him.
Mrk 2:17 ... I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Mrk 2:22 ...New wine calls for new wineskins.”
Mrk 2:28 So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!”
Mrk 3:5 He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts.
Mrk 3:28 “I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, 29 but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.”
Mrk 3:35 Anyone who does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
Mrk 4:6 But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and since it didn’t have deep roots, it died.
Mrk 4:9 Then he said, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
Mrk 4:11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secret of the Kingdom of God.
Mrk 4:12 ‘When they see what I do, they will learn nothing. When they hear what I say, they will not understand. Otherwise, they will turn to me and be forgiven.’”
Mrk 4:17 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word.
Mrk 4:19 but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.
Mrk 4:20 And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!
Mrk 4:21 ... A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine.
Mrk 4:22 For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light.
Mrk 4:23 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
Mrk 4:24 Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more.
Mrk 4:25 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”
Mrk 4:26 Jesus also said, “The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground.
Mrk 4:39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.
Mrk 4:40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
Mrk 4:41 ...“Even the wind and waves obey him!”
Mrk 5:19 But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.”
Mrk 5:20 So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.
Mrk 5:28 For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”
Mrk 5:34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”
Mrk 5:36 But Jesus ... said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”
Mrk 6:4 Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.”
Mrk 6:5 And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
Mrk 6:6 And he was amazed at their unbelief.
Mrk 6:12 So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to repent of their sins and turn to God.
Mrk 6:20 for Herod respected John; and knowing that he was a good and holy man, he protected him.
Mrk 6:34 ...and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
Mrk 6:42 They all ate as much as they wanted, 43 and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish.
Mrk 6:46 ...he went up into the hills by himself to pray.
Mrk 6:50 ...But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage! I am here!”
Mrk 6:52 ...Their hearts were too hard to take it in.
Mrk 6:55 and they ran throughout the whole area, carrying sick people on mats to wherever they heard he was.
Mrk 6:56 ...They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.
Mrk 7:6 ...‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Mrk 7:7 Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’
Mrk 7:8 For you ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition.”
Mrk 7:9 Then he said, “You skillfully sidestep God’s law in order to hold on to your own tradition.
Mrk 7:10 ...‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’
Mrk 7:13 And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.”
Mrk 7:15 It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart.”
Mrk 7:20 And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you.
Mrk 7:21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, Mrk 7:22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
Mrk 7:23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”
Mrk 7:28 She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even the dogs under the table are allowed to eat the scraps from the children’s plates.”
Mrk 7:29 “Good answer!” he said. “Now go home, for the demon has left your daughter.”
Mrk 7:35 Instantly the man could hear perfectly, and his tongue was freed so he could speak plainly!
Mrk 8:15 ...Jesus warned them, “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
Mrk 8:17 Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “Why are you arguing about having no bread? Don’t you know or understand even yet? Are your hearts too hard to take it in?
Mrk 8:18 ‘You have eyes—can’t you see? You have ears—can’t you hear?’ Don’t you remember anything at all?
Mrk 8:25 ...His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly.
Mrk 8:29 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Peter replied, “You are the Messiah.”
Mrk 8:33 ...“You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
Mrk 8:34 ...“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.
Mrk 8:35 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.
Mrk 8:36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
Mrk 8:37 Is anything worth more than your soul?
Mrk 8:38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
Mrk 9:7 ...and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.”
Mrk 9:19 Jesus said to them, “You faithless people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you?
Mrk 9:23 “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
Mrk 9:24 The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”
Mrk 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
Mrk 9:29 Jesus replied, “This kind can be cast out only by prayer.”
Mrk 9:35 ...“Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.”
Mrk 9:37 “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not only me but also my Father who sent me.”
Mrk 9:41 If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, that person will surely be rewarded.
Mrk 9:42 “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck.
Mrk 9:49 “For everyone will be tested with fire.
Mrk 9:50 Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? You must have the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other.”
Mrk 9:43 ...It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand than to go into the unquenchable fires of hell with two hands.
Mrk 10:5 But Jesus responded, “He wrote this commandment only as a concession to your hard hearts.
Mrk 10:14 ... For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
Mrk 10:15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
Mrk 10:17 ...“Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Mrk 10:21 ...“There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
Mrk 10:23 ...But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.
Mrk 10:27 ...“Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”
Mrk 10:31 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.”
Mrk 10:38 ...“You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink? Are you able to be baptized with the baptism of suffering I must be baptized with?”
Mrk 10:43 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,
Mrk 10:44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else.
Mrk 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mrk 10:47 ...he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Mrk 10:48 “Be quiet!” many of the people yelled at him. But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Mrk 10:51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “My rabbi,” the blind man said, “I want to see!”
Mrk 10:52 And Jesus said to him, “Go, for your faith has healed you.”
Mrk 11:9 ... “Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Mrk 11:10 Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our ancestor David! Praise God in highest heaven!”
Mrk 11:13 He noticed a fig tree in full leaf a little way off, so he went over to see if he could find any figs. But there were only leaves...
Mrk 11:17 ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.”
Mrk 11:22 Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God.
Mrk 11:23 I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.
Mrk 11:24 I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.
Mrk 11:25 But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.”
Mrk 12:10 ... ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.
Mrk 12:11 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.’”
Mrk 12:17 ...Jesus said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
Mrk 12:24 Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.
Mrk 12:27 So he is the God of the living, not the dead. You have made a serious error.”
Mrk 12:29 ... ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord.
Mrk 12:30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’
Mrk 12:31 The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
Mrk 12:33 And I know it is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. This is more important than to offer all of the burnt offerings and sacrifices required in the law.”
Mrk 12:44 For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on.”
Mrk 13:9 ...You will stand trial before governors and kings because you are my followers. But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me.
Mrk 13:11 But when you are arrested and stand trial, don’t worry in advance about what to say. Just say what God tells you at that time, for it is not you who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
Mrk 13:13 And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Mrk 13:19 For there will be greater anguish in those days than at any time since God created the world. And it will never be so great again.
Mrk 13:23 Watch out! I have warned you about this ahead of time!
Mrk 13:26 Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory.
Mrk 13:27 And he will send out his angels to gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
Mrk 13:29 In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that his return is very near, right at the door.
Mrk 13:31 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
Mrk 13:33 And since you don’t know when that time will come, be on guard! Stay alert!
Mrk 13:35 You, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know when the master of the household will return—in the evening, at midnight, before dawn, or at daybreak.
Mrk 13:36 Don’t let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning.
Mrk 13:37 I say to you what I say to everyone: Watch for him!”
Mrk 14:6 But Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. Why criticize her for doing such a good thing to me?
Mrk 14:9 I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”
Mrk 14:21 ...But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”
Mrk 14:22 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it, for this is my body.”
Mrk 14:24 And he said to them, “This is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice for many.
Mrk 14:36 “Abba, Father,” he cried out, “everything is possible for you...Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
Mrk 14:37 ...Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour?
Mrk 14:38 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation.
Mrk 14:62 Jesus said, “I Am. And you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Mrk 14:72 ...And he broke down and wept.
Mrk 15:34 Then at three o’clock Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
Mrk 15:39 ...he exclaimed, “This man truly was the Son of God!”
Mrk 16:3 On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”
Mrk 16:6 but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!
Mrk 16:14 ...He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe
Mrk 16:15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.
Mrk 16:16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.
Mrk 16:19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
Mrk 16:20 And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.

Matthew

Mat 3:10 ...Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.
Mat 3:11...But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Mat 3:12 He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”
Mat 3:17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”
Mat 4:4 ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Mat 4:7 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
Mat 4:10 ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’”
Mat 4:16 the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, a light has shined.”
Mat 4:17 ...“Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
Mat 4:19 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”
Mat 4:20 And they left their nets at once and followed him.
Mat 4:22 They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.
Mat 4:23 ...And he healed every kind of disease and illness.
Mat 4:24 ...And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all.
Mat 5:3 “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Mat 5:4 God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Mat 5:5 God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.
Mat 5:6 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.
Mat 5:7 God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Mat 5:8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
Mat 5:9 God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
Mat 5:10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Mat 5:11 “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.
Mat 5:12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.
Mat 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled under foot as worthless.
Mat 5:14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.
Mat 5:16 ...let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
Mat 5:19 ...But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 5:20 “But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
Mat 5:22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! ...And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.
Mat 5:24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God.
Mat 5:25... settle your differences quickly.
Mat 5:28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Mat 5:30...It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Mat 5:34 But I say, do not make any vows!
Mat 5:37 Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.
Mat 5:39 But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.
Mat 5:42 Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow.
Mat 5:44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
Mat 5:46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much.
Mat 5:48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Mat 6:1 “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
Mat 6:3 But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Mat 6:4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Mat 6:6 But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Mat 6:8 ...for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!
Mat 6:9 Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Mat 6:13 And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
Mat 6:14 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
Mat 6:15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Mat 6:19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.
Mat 6:20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.
Mat 6:21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Mat 6:22 “Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light.
Mat 6:23 But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!
Mat 6:24 ...You cannot serve both God and money.
Mat 6:25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life...Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
Mat 6:27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
Mat 6:30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
Mat 6:31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’
Mat 6:32 ...but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.
Mat 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Mat 6:34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Mat 7:1 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
Mat 7:2 For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.
Mat 7:3 “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?
Mat 7:5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
Mat 7:6 “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.
Mat 7:7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
Mat 7:8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Mat 7:11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
Mat 7:12 “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
Mat 7:13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.
Mat 7:14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
Mat 7:16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit.
Mat 7:19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.
Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.
Mat 7:22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’
Mat 7:23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
Mat 7:24 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.
Mat 7:26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.
Mat 7:27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
Mat 8:2 Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.”
Mat 8:8 But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.
Mat 8:11 And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 8:12 But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Mat 8:13 Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.”
Mat 8:14...“He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”
Mat 8:20 But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
Mat 8:22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead.”
Mat 8:26 Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.
Mat 9:2...Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Be encouraged, my child! Your sins are forgiven.”
Mat 9:4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?
Mat 9:6...Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!”
Mat 9:9...“Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
Mat 9:13... ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Mat 9:20...She touched the fringe of his robe, Mat 9:21 for she thought, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”
Mat 9:22 Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.”
Mat 9:27...two blind men followed along behind him, shouting, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”
Mat 9:29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, it will happen.”
Mat 9:31 But instead, they went out and spread his fame all over the region.
Mat 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Mat 9:37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few.
Mat 9:38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”
Mat 10:1 Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and illness.
Mat 10:7 Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!
Mat 10:16 “Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves.
Mat 10:19 ... don’t worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time.
Mat 10:20 For it is not you who will be speaking—it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Mat 10:22 And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 10:24 “Students are not greater than their teacher, and slaves are not greater than their master.
Mat 10:25 Students are to be like their teacher, and slaves are to be like their master.
Mat 10:26 “But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.
Mat 10:27 What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ear, shout from the housetops for all to hear!
Mat 10:28 “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Mat 10:29 ... But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.
Mat 10:30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
Mat 10:31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
Mat 10:32 “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
Mat 10:33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
Mat 10:37 “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.
Mat 10:38 If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.
Mat 10:39 If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
Mat 10:40 “Anyone who receives you receives me, and anyone who receives me receives the Father who sent me.
Mat 10:41 If you receive a prophet as one who speaks for God, you will be given the same reward as a prophet. And if you receive righteous people because of their righteousness, you will be given a reward like theirs.
Mat 10:42 And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”
Mat 11:6 And tell him, ‘God blesses those who do not turn away because of me.’”
Mat 11:15 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
Mat 11:17 ‘We played wedding songs, and you didn’t dance, so we played funeral songs, and you didn’t mourn.’
Mat 11:19 ...But wisdom is shown to be right by its results.”
Mat 11:21 ...For if the miracles I did in you had been done in wicked Tyre and Sidon, their people would have repented of their sins long ago,..
Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.
Mat 11:28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Mat 12:7 ...‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’
Mat 12:15 ...and many people followed him. He healed all the sick among them,
Mat 12:19 ...He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public.
Mat 12:20 ...He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.
Mat 12:21 And his[Jesus] name will be the hope of all the world.”
Mat 12:30 “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.
Mat 12:31 “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.
Mat 12:32 Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.
Mat 12:33 “A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad.
Mat 12:34 You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.
Mat 12:35 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.
Mat 12:36 And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak.
Mat 12:37 The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”
Mat 12:39 But Jesus replied, “Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Mat 12:41 “The people of Nineveh will stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for they repented of their sins at the preaching of Jonah. Now someone greater than Jonah is here—but you refuse to repent.
Mat 12:42 ...Now someone greater than Solomon is here—but you refuse to listen.
Mat 12:43 “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none.
Mat 12:45 Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.”
Mat 12:50 Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”
Mat 13:9 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
Mat 13:11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not.
Mat 13:12 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.
Mat 13:13 ... For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.
Mat 13:16 “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
Mat 13:17 I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.
Mat 13:21 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word.
Mat 13:23 The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest ...
Mat 13:37 Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed.
Mat 13:40 “Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
Mat 13:42 And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
Mat 13:46 When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!
Mat 13:49 That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous,
Mat 13:58 And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.
Mat 14:14 ...he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Mat 14:31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”
Mat 14:33 Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed..
Mat 14:36 They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.
Mat 15:3 Jesus replied, “And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?
Mat 15:8 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Mat 15:9 Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.
Mat 15:11 It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
Mat 15:13 Jesus replied, “Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted,
Mat 15:18 But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you.
Mat 15:19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.
Mat 15:28 “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.
Mat 16:4 Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign,...
Mat 16:8 Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “You have so little faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread?
Mat 16:15 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Mat 16:23 ... You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
Mat 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.
Mat 16:25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
Mat 16:26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?
Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.
Mat 17:17 Jesus said, “You faithless and corrupt people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you?
Mat 17:20 “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
Mat 18:3 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 18:4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 18:7 “What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.
Mat 18:10 “Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father.
Mat 18:14 In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.
Mat 18:18 “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.
Mat 18:19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”
Mat 18:21 ..., “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” 22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!
Mat 18:32 ... ‘You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me. Mat 18:33 Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
Mat 18:35 “That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”
Mat 19:6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”
Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”
Mat 19:26 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”
Mat 19:29 And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.
Mat 19:30 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.
Mat 20:16 “So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.”
Mat 20:22 But Jesus answered by saying to them, “You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink?”
Mat 20:26 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, Mat 20:27 and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.
Mat 20:28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mat 20:31 “Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
Mat 20:32 When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?” 33 “Lord,” they said, “we want to see!”
Mat 20:34 Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see! Then they followed him.
Mat 21:5 “Tell the people of Israel, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, riding on a donkey—riding on a donkey’s colt.’”
Mat 21:9 ... “Praise God for the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God in highest heaven!”
Mat 21:13 He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves!”
Mat 21:16 ...“Haven’t you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, ‘You have taught children and infants to give you praise.’
Mat 21:19 ...He went over to see if there were any figs, but there were only leaves...
Mat 21:21 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more...
Mat 21:22 You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”
Mat 21:31 ...Then Jesus explained his meaning: “I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do.
Mat 21:32 For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn’t believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins.
Mat 21:42 ... ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.’
Mat 21:43 I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit.
Mat 21:44 Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.
Mat 22:3 When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come!
Mat 22:8 And he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, and the guests I invited aren’t worthy of the honor.
Mat 22:13 Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Mat 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Mat 22:18 But Jesus knew their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” he said.
Mat 22:21 ...“give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
Mat 22:29 Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.
Mat 22:32 ...So he is the God of the living, not the dead.”
Mat 22:37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ Mat 22:38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
Mat 22:39 ...‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Mat 23:3 ...For they don’t practice what they teach.
Mat 23:10 And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah.
Mat 23:11 The greatest among you must be a servant.
Mat 23:12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Mat 23:13 ...Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.
Mat 23:15 ...Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are!
Mat 23:23 ... but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.
Mat 23:25 ...Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence!
Mat 23:26 You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too.
Mat 23:27 ...Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity.
Mat 23:28 Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Mat 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.
Mat 23:39 For I tell you this, you will never see me again until you say, ‘Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
Mat 24:13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 24:25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.
Mat 24:31 And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world...
Mat 24:33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
Mat 24:37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.
Mat 24:39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away.
Mat 24:42 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.
Mat 24:44 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.
Mat 24:45 “A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them.
Mat 24:46 If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.
Mat 24:50 The master will return unannounced and unexpected,
Mat 25:3 The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps,
Mat 25:4 but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil.
Mat 25:13 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.
Mat 25:20 ...‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’
Mat 25:21 “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount,
Mat 25:26 “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant!...
Mat 25:29 To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.
Mat 25:31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne.
Mat 25:35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.
Mat 25:40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
Mat 25:41 “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.
Mat 25:42 For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink.
Mat 25:45 “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
Mat 25:46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”
Mat 26:10 But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me?
Mat 26:21 While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.”
Mat 26:28 ...for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.
Mat 26:39 ...Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
Mat 26:40 ...“Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour?
Mat 26:41 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation.
Mat 26:52 “Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword.
Mat 26:56 ...At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Mat 26:64 ...you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Mat 26:75 ...And he went away, weeping bitterly.
Mat 27:4 “I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.”
Mat 27:46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
Mat 27:51 At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
Mat 27:54 ...They said, “This man truly was the Son of God!”
Mat 28:5 ...“Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. Mat 28:6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead,..
Mat 28:18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
Mat 28:19 ... go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Mat 28:20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Mat 1:21 ...he will save his people from their sins.”
Mat 1:23...Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”
Mat 2:2 ...We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
Mat 3:2 “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
Mat 3:3 ‘Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming! Clear the road for him!’”
Mat 3:8 Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God.
Mat 3:10 ...Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.
Mat 3:11...But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Mat 3:12 He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”
Mat 3:17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”
Mat 4:4 ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Mat 4:7 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
Mat 4:10 ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’”
Mat 4:16 the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, a light has shined.”
Mat 4:17 ...“Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
Mat 4:19 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”
Mat 4:20 And they left their nets at once and followed him.
Mat 4:22 They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.
Mat 4:23 ...And he healed every kind of disease and illness.
Mat 4:24 ...And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all.
Mat 5:3 “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Mat 5:4 God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Mat 5:5 God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.
Mat 5:6 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.
Mat 5:7 God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Mat 5:8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
Mat 5:9 God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
Mat 5:10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Mat 5:11 “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.
Mat 5:12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.
Mat 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled under foot as worthless.
Mat 5:14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.
Mat 5:16 ...let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
Mat 5:19 ...But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 5:20 “But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
Mat 5:22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! ...And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.
Mat 5:24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God.
Mat 5:25... settle your differences quickly.
Mat 5:28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Mat 5:30...It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Mat 5:34 But I say, do not make any vows!
Mat 5:37 Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.
Mat 5:39 But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.
Mat 5:42 Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow.
Mat 5:44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
Mat 5:46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much.
Mat 5:48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Mat 6:1 “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
Mat 6:3 But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Mat 6:4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Mat 6:6 But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Mat 6:8 ...for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!
Mat 6:9 Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Mat 6:13 And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
Mat 6:14 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
Mat 6:15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Mat 6:19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.
Mat 6:20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.
Mat 6:21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Mat 6:22 “Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light.
Mat 6:23 But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!
Mat 6:24 ...You cannot serve both God and money.
Mat 6:25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life...Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
Mat 6:27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
Mat 6:30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
Mat 6:31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’
Mat 6:32 ...but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.
Mat 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Mat 6:34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Mat 7:1 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
Mat 7:2 For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.
Mat 7:3 “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?
Mat 7:5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
Mat 7:6 “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.
Mat 7:7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
Mat 7:8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Mat 7:11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
Mat 7:12 “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
Mat 7:13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.
Mat 7:14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
Mat 7:16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit.
Mat 7:19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.
Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.
Mat 7:22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’
Mat 7:23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
Mat 7:24 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.
Mat 7:26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.
Mat 7:27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
Mat 8:2 Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.”
Mat 8:8 But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.
Mat 8:11 And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 8:12 But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Mat 8:13 Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.”
Mat 8:14...“He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”
Mat 8:20 But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
Mat 8:22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead.”
Mat 8:26 Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.
Mat 9:2...Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Be encouraged, my child! Your sins are forgiven.”
Mat 9:4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?
Mat 9:6...Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!”
Mat 9:9...“Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
Mat 9:13... ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Mat 9:20...She touched the fringe of his robe, Mat 9:21 for she thought, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”
Mat 9:22 Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.”
Mat 9:27...two blind men followed along behind him, shouting, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”
Mat 9:29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, it will happen.”
Mat 9:31 But instead, they went out and spread his fame all over the region.
Mat 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Mat 9:37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few.
Mat 9:38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”
Mat 10:1 Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and illness.
Mat 10:7 Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!
Mat 10:16 “Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves.
Mat 10:19 ... don’t worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time.
Mat 10:20 For it is not you who will be speaking—it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Mat 10:22 And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 10:24 “Students are not greater than their teacher, and slaves are not greater than their master.
Mat 10:25 Students are to be like their teacher, and slaves are to be like their master.
Mat 10:26 “But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.
Mat 10:27 What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ear, shout from the housetops for all to hear!
Mat 10:28 “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Mat 10:29 ... But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.
Mat 10:30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
Mat 10:31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
Mat 10:32 “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
Mat 10:33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
Mat 10:37 “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.
Mat 10:38 If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.
Mat 10:39 If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
Mat 10:40 “Anyone who receives you receives me, and anyone who receives me receives the Father who sent me.
Mat 10:41 If you receive a prophet as one who speaks for God, you will be given the same reward as a prophet. And if you receive righteous people because of their righteousness, you will be given a reward like theirs.
Mat 10:42 And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”
Mat 11:6 And tell him, ‘God blesses those who do not turn away because of me.’”
Mat 11:15 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
Mat 11:17 ‘We played wedding songs, and you didn’t dance, so we played funeral songs, and you didn’t mourn.’
Mat 11:19 ...But wisdom is shown to be right by its results.”
Mat 11:21 ...For if the miracles I did in you had been done in wicked Tyre and Sidon, their people would have repented of their sins long ago,..
Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.
Mat 11:28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Mat 12:7 ...‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’
Mat 12:15 ...and many people followed him. He healed all the sick among them,
Mat 12:19 ...He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public.
Mat 12:20 ...He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.
Mat 12:21 And his[Jesus] name will be the hope of all the world.”
Mat 12:30 “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.
Mat 12:31 “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.
Mat 12:32 Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.
Mat 12:33 “A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad.
Mat 12:34 You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.
Mat 12:35 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.
Mat 12:36 And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak.
Mat 12:37 The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”
Mat 12:39 But Jesus replied, “Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Mat 12:41 “The people of Nineveh will stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for they repented of their sins at the preaching of Jonah. Now someone greater than Jonah is here—but you refuse to repent.
Mat 12:42 ...Now someone greater than Solomon is here—but you refuse to listen.
Mat 12:43 “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none.
Mat 12:45 Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.”
Mat 12:50 Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”
Mat 13:9 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
Mat 13:11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not.
Mat 13:12 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.
Mat 13:13 ... For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.
Mat 13:16 “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
Mat 13:17 I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.
Mat 13:21 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word.
Mat 13:23 The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest ...
Mat 13:37 Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed.
Mat 13:40 “Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
Mat 13:42 And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
Mat 13:46 When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!
Mat 13:49 That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous,
Mat 13:58 And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.
Mat 14:14 ...he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Mat 14:31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”
Mat 14:33 Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed..
Mat 14:36 They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.
Mat 15:3 Jesus replied, “And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?
Mat 15:8 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Mat 15:9 Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.
Mat 15:11 It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
Mat 15:13 Jesus replied, “Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted,
Mat 15:18 But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you.
Mat 15:19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.
Mat 15:28 “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.
Mat 16:4 Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign,...
Mat 16:8 Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “You have so little faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread?
Mat 16:15 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Mat 16:23 ... You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
Mat 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.
Mat 16:25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
Mat 16:26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?
Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.
Mat 17:17 Jesus said, “You faithless and corrupt people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you?
Mat 17:20 “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
Mat 18:3 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 18:4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 18:7 “What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.
Mat 18:10 “Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father.
Mat 18:14 In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.
Mat 18:18 “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.
Mat 18:19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”
Mat 18:21 ..., “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” 22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!
Mat 18:32 ... ‘You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me. Mat 18:33 Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
Mat 18:35 “That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”
Mat 19:6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”
Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”
Mat 19:26 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”
Mat 19:29 And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.
Mat 19:30 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.
Mat 20:16 “So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.”
Mat 20:22 But Jesus answered by saying to them, “You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink?”
Mat 20:26 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, Mat 20:27 and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.
Mat 20:28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mat 20:31 “Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
Mat 20:32 When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?” 33 “Lord,” they said, “we want to see!”
Mat 20:34 Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see! Then they followed him.
Mat 21:5 “Tell the people of Israel, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, riding on a donkey—riding on a donkey’s colt.’”
Mat 21:9 ... “Praise God for the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God in highest heaven!”
Mat 21:13 He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves!”
Mat 21:16 ...“Haven’t you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, ‘You have taught children and infants to give you praise.’
Mat 21:19 ...He went over to see if there were any figs, but there were only leaves...
Mat 21:21 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more...
Mat 21:22 You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”
Mat 21:31 ...Then Jesus explained his meaning: “I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do.
Mat 21:32 For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn’t believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins.
Mat 21:42 ... ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.’
Mat 21:43 I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit.
Mat 21:44 Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.
Mat 22:3 When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come!
Mat 22:8 And he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, and the guests I invited aren’t worthy of the honor.
Mat 22:13 Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Mat 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Mat 22:18 But Jesus knew their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” he said.
Mat 22:21 ...“give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
Mat 22:29 Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.
Mat 22:32 ...So he is the God of the living, not the dead.”
Mat 22:37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ Mat 22:38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
Mat 22:39 ...‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Mat 23:3 ...For they don’t practice what they teach.
Mat 23:10 And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah.
Mat 23:11 The greatest among you must be a servant.
Mat 23:12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Mat 23:13 ...Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.
Mat 23:15 ...Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are!
Mat 23:23 ... but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.
Mat 23:25 ...Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence!
Mat 23:26 You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too.
Mat 23:27 ...Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity.
Mat 23:28 Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Mat 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.
Mat 23:39 For I tell you this, you will never see me again until you say, ‘Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
Mat 24:13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 24:25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.
Mat 24:31 And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world...
Mat 24:33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
Mat 24:37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.
Mat 24:39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away.
Mat 24:42 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.
Mat 24:44 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.
Mat 24:45 “A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them.
Mat 24:46 If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.
Mat 24:50 The master will return unannounced and unexpected,
Mat 25:3 The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps,
Mat 25:4 but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil.
Mat 25:13 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.
Mat 25:20 ...‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’
Mat 25:21 “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount,
Mat 25:26 “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant!...
Mat 25:29 To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.
Mat 25:31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne.
Mat 25:35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.
Mat 25:40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
Mat 25:41 “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.
Mat 25:42 For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink.
Mat 25:45 “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
Mat 25:46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”
Mat 26:10 But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me?
Mat 26:21 While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.”
Mat 26:28 ...for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.
Mat 26:39 ...Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
Mat 26:40 ...“Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour?
Mat 26:41 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation.
Mat 26:52 “Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword.
Mat 26:56 ...At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Mat 26:64 ...you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Mat 26:75 ...And he went away, weeping bitterly.
Mat 27:4 “I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.”
Mat 27:46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
Mat 27:51 At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
Mat 27:54 ...They said, “This man truly was the Son of God!”
Mat 28:5 ...“Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. Mat 28:6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead,..
Mat 28:18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
Mat 28:19 ... go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Mat 28:20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Exodus
Exo 1:17 But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders.
Exo 1:21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
Exo 2:23 ...They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God.
Exo 2:24 God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Exo 2:25 He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.
Exo 3:2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the middle of a bush. Moses stared in amazement.
Exo 3:5 “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.
Exo 3:6 I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was afraid to look at God.
Exo 3:7 Then the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering.
Exo 3:8 So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey ...
Exo 3:9 Look! The cry of the people of Israel has reached me,...
Exo 3:10 Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.”
Exo 3:12 God answered, “I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you...
Exo 3:14 God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.”
Exo 3:15 ...“Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh,..This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.
Exo 3:17 I have promised to rescue you from your oppression in Egypt. I will lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey...
Exo 4:11 Then the Lord asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?
Exo 4:12 Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”
Exo 4:17 And take your shepherd’s staff with you, and use it to perform the miraculous signs I have shown you.”
Exo 4:20 ...In his hand he carried the staff of God.
Exo 4:22 Then you will tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son.
Exo 4:31 ...When they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.
Exo 6:5 You can be sure that I have heard the groans of the people of Israel, who are now slaves to the Egyptians. And I am well aware of my covenant with them.
Exo 6:6 “Therefore, say to the people of Israel: ‘I am the Lord. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment.
Exo 6:7 I will claim you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God who has freed you from your oppression in Egypt.
Exo 7:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pay close attention to this. I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh,...
Exo 7:4 ...Then I will rescue my forces—my people, the Israelites—from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.
Exo 7:5 When I raise my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”
Exo 8:10 ...Then you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
Exo 8:19 “This is the finger of God!”
Exo 8:22 ...Then you will know that I am the Lord and that I am present even in the heart of your land.
Exo 8:23 I will make a clear distinction between my people and your people.
Exo 9:14 ...Then you will know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
Exo 9:16 But I have spared you for a purpose—to show you my power and to spread my fame throughout the earth.
Exo 9:27 ...“This time I have sinned,” he confessed. “The Lord is the righteous one, and my people and I are wrong.
Exo 9:29 ...you will know that the earth belongs to the Lord.
Exo 9:30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the Lord God.”
Exo 10:2 I’ve also done it so you can tell your children and grandchildren about how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and about the signs I displayed among them—and so you will know that I am the Lord.”
Exo 10:3 ...How long will you refuse to submit to me?
Exo 10:16 ...“I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you,” he confessed.
Exo 11:7 ...Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites.
Exo 12:11 ...Eat the meal with urgency, for this is the Lord’s Passover.
Exo 12:12 ...I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt, for I am the Lord!
Exo 12:13 But the blood on your doorposts will serve as a sign, ... When I see the blood, I will pass over you. This plague of death will not touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exo 12:14 “This is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation, you must celebrate it as a special festival to the Lord.
Exo 12:16 ...No work of any kind may be done on these days except in the preparation of food.
Exo 12:17 “Celebrate this Festival of Unleavened Bread, for it will remind you that I brought your forces out of the land of Egypt on this very day.
Exo 12:20 During those days you must not eat anything made with yeast. Wherever you live, eat only bread made without yeast.”
Exo 12:23 ...But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the Lord will pass over your home.
Exo 12:24 “Remember, these instructions are a permanent law that you and your descendants must observe forever.
Exo 12:27 ...‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. And though he struck the Egyptians, he spared our families.’” .
Exo 12:28 So the people of Israel did just as the Lord had commanded through Moses and Aaron.
Exo 12:51 On that very day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt like an army.
Exo 13:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Dedicate to me every firstborn among the Israelites. The first offspring to be born, of both humans and animals, belongs to me.”
Exo 13:3 So Moses said to the people, “This is a day to remember forever—the day you left Egypt, the place of your slavery. Today the Lord has brought you out by the power of his mighty hand.
Exo 13:7 In fact, there must be no yeast bread or any yeast at all found within the borders of your land during this time.
Exo 13:8 “On the seventh day you must explain to your children, ‘I am celebrating what the Lord did for me when I left Egypt.’
Exo 13:9 ...Let it remind you always to recite this teaching of the Lord: ‘With a strong hand, the Lord rescued you from Egypt.’
Exo 13:12 you must present all firstborn sons and firstborn male animals to the Lord, for they belong to him.
Exo 13:14 ...‘With the power of his mighty hand, the Lord brought us out of Egypt, the place of our slavery.
Exo 13:19 He said, “God will certainly come to help you. ...
Exo 13:21 The Lord went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud, and he provided light at night with a pillar of fire.
Exo 13:22 And the Lord did not remove the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire from its place in front of the people.
Exo 14:4 ...I have planned this in order to display my glory through Pharaoh and his whole army. After this the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord!”
Exo 14:13 ...“Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.
Exo 14:14 The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”
Exo 14:18 When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that I am the Lord!”
Exo 14:22 So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!
Exo 14:25 ...“Let’s get out of here—away from these Israelites!” the Egyptians shouted. “The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!”
Exo 14:31 When the people of Israel saw the mighty power that the Lord had unleashed against the Egyptians, they were filled with awe before him. They put their faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
Exo 15:1 “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.
Exo 15:2 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him—my father’s God, and I will exalt him!
Exo 15:3 The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!
Exo 15:6 "Your right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power.
Exo 15:11 “Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?
Exo 15:13 “With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home.
Exo 15:26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”
Exo 16:2 There, too, the whole community of Israel complained about Moses and Aaron.
Exo 16:4 ...I will test them in this to see whether or not they will follow my instructions.
Exo 16:6 ...“By evening you will realize it was the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 16:7 In the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your complaints, which are against him, not against us. What have we done that you should complain about us?”
Exo 16:8 ...Yes, your complaints are against the Lord, not against us.”
Exo 16:9 ...‘Present yourselves before the Lord, for he has heard your complaining.’”
Exo 16:10 ...they looked out toward the wilderness. There they could see the awesome glory of the Lord in the cloud.
Exo 16:12 “I have heard the Israelites’ complaints. Now tell them, ‘In the evening you will have meat to eat, and in the morning you will have all the bread you want. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”
Exo 16:15 ...And Moses told them, “It is the food the Lord has given you to eat.
Exo 16:18 ...Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough.
Exo 16:20 But some of them didn’t listen ...
Exo 16:23 “This is what the Lord commanded: Tomorrow will be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath day set apart for the Lord. ..
Exo 16:27 Some of the people went out anyway on the seventh day, but they found no food.
Exo 16:28 The Lord asked Moses, “How long will these people refuse to obey my commands and instructions?
Exo 16:29 They must realize that the Sabbath is the Lord’s gift to you.
Exo 16:34 Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exo 16:35 So the people of Israel ate manna for forty years until they arrived at the land where they would settle.
Exo 17:2 So once more the people complained against Moses. “Give us water to drink!” they demanded.
Exo 17:2 ... “Quiet!” Moses replied. “Why are you complaining against me? And why are you testing the Lord?”
Exo 17:6 I will stand before you on the rock at Mount Sinai. Strike the rock, and water will come gushing out.
Exo 17:7 Moses named the place Massah (which means “test”) and Meribah (which means “arguing”) because the people of Israel argued with Moses and tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord here with us or not?”
Exo 17:9 ...I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.”
Exo 17:15 Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-nissi (which means “the Lord is my banner”).
Exo 17:16 He said, “They have raised their fist against the Lord’s throne, so now the Lord will be at war with Amalek generation after generation.”
Exo 18:3 ...“I have been a foreigner in a foreign land.”
Exo 18:4 ...“The God of my ancestors was my helper; he rescued me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
Exo 18:8 ...He also told about all the hardships they had experienced along the way and how the Lord had rescued his people from all their troubles.
Exo 18:10 “Praise the Lord,” Jethro said, “for he has rescued you from the Egyptians and from Pharaoh.
Exo 18:11 I know now that the Lord is greater than all other gods, because he rescued his people from the oppression of the proud Egyptians.”
Exo 18:16 ...I inform the people of God’s decrees and give them his instructions.”
Exo 18:20 Teach them God’s decrees, and give them his instructions. Show them how to conduct their lives.
Exo 19:3 Then Moses climbed the mountain to appear before God.
Exo 19:3 ...“Give these instructions to the family of Jacob; announce it to the descendants of Israel.
Exo 19:4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You know how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.
Exo 19:5 Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me.
Exo 19:6 And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.’
Exo 19:8 And all the people responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded.”
Exo 19:9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will come to you in a thick cloud, Moses, so the people themselves can hear me when I speak with you. Then they will always trust you.”
Exo 19:10 Then the Lord told Moses, “Go down and prepare the people for my arrival. Consecrate them ...
Exo 19:14 So Moses went down to the people. He consecrated them for worship,...
Exo 19:17 Moses led them out from the camp to meet with God,and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
Exo 19:18 All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently.
Exo 19:22 Even the priests who regularly come near to the Lord must purify themselves so that the Lord does not break out and destroy them.”
Exo 20:2 “I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery.
Exo 20:3 “You must not have any other god but me.
Exo 20:4 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.
Exo 20:5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods...
Exo 20:5 ...I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.
Exo 20:6 But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.
Exo 20:7 “You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name.
Exo 20:8 “Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God.
Exo 20:11 ...the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.
Exo 20:12 “Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Exo 20:13 “You must not murder.
Exo 20:14 “You must not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15 “You must not steal.
Exo 20:16 “You must not testify falsely against your neighbor.
Exo 20:17 “You must not covet ...
Exo 20:19 And they said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen. But don’t let God speak directly to us, or we will die!”
Exo 20:20 “Don’t be afraid,” Moses answered them, “for God has come in this way to test you, and so that your fear of him will keep you from sinning!”
Exo 20:22 ...You saw for yourselves that I spoke to you from heaven.
Exo 20:24 ...Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you.
Exo 21:15 “Anyone who strikes father or mother must be put to death.
Exo 21:17 “Anyone who dishonors father or mother must be put to death.
Exo 22:21 “You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Exo 22:22 “You must not exploit a widow or an orphan. 23 If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry.
Exo 22:27 ...then I will hear, for I am merciful.
Exo 22:28 “You must not dishonor God or curse any of your rulers.
Exo 22:29 “You must not hold anything back when you give me offerings from your crops and your wine. “You must give me your firstborn sons.
Exo 22:31 “You must be my holy people.
Exo 23:1 “You must not pass along false rumors. You must not cooperate with evil people...
Exo 23:2 “You must not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you are called to testify in a dispute, do not be swayed by the crowd to twist justice.
Exo 23:3 And do not slant your testimony in favor of a person just because that person is poor.
Exo 23:4 “If you come upon your enemy’s ox or donkey that has strayed away, take it back to its owner.
Exo 23:5 If you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has collapsed under its load, do not walk by. Instead, stop and help.
Exo 23:6 “In a lawsuit, you must not deny justice to the poor.
Exo 23:7 “Be sure never to charge anyone falsely with evil. Never sentence an innocent or blameless person to death, for I never declare a guilty person to be innocent.
Exo 23:8 “Take no bribes, for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see. A bribe makes even a righteous person twist the truth.
Exo 23:9 “You must not oppress foreigners. You know what it’s like to be a foreigner, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Exo 23:13 “Pay close attention to all my instructions. You must not call on the name of any other gods. Do not even speak their names.
Exo 23:15 ...No one may appear before me without an offering.
Exo 23:17 ...every man in Israel must appear before the Sovereign, the Lord.
Exo 23:19 “As you harvest your crops, bring the very best of the first harvest to the house of the Lord your God.
Exo 23:20 “See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.
Exo 23:21 Pay close attention to him, and obey his instructions. Do not rebel against him, for he is my representative, and he will not forgive your rebellion.
Exo 23:22 But if you are careful to obey him, following all my instructions, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will oppose those who oppose you.
Exo 23:23 For my angel will go before you...
Exo 23:24 You must not worship the gods of these nations or serve them in any way or imitate their evil practices.
Exo 23:25 “You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness.
Exo 23:26 ...and I will give you long, full lives.
Exo 23:27 “I will send my terror ahead of you and create panic among all the people whose lands you invade. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
Exo 23:32 “Make no treaties with them or their gods.
Exo 23:33 They must not live in your land, or they will cause you to sin against me. If you serve their gods, you will be caught in the trap of idolatry.”
Exo 24:3 ...“We will do everything the Lord has commanded.”
Exo 24:4 Then Moses carefully wrote down all the Lord’s instructions.
Exo 24:7 ...“We will do everything the Lord has commanded. We will obey.”
Exo 24:8 ...“Look, this blood confirms the covenant the Lord has made with you in giving you these instructions.”
Exo 24:10 There they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there seemed to be a surface of brilliant blue lapis lazuli, as clear as the sky itself.
Exo 24:12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain...
Exo 24:16 And the glory of the Lord settled down on Mount Sinai,..
Exo 24:18 ...He remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Exo 25:2 “Tell the people of Israel to bring me their sacred offerings. Accept the contributions from all whose hearts are moved to offer them.
Exo 25:8 “Have the people of Israel build me a holy sanctuary so I can live among them.
Exo 25:22 I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant. From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel.
Exo 25:40 “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you ...
Exo 26:20 “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
Exo 26:21 ...Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning in the Lord’s presence all night.
Exo 28:1 ...Set them apart from the rest of the people of Israel so they may minister to me and be my priests.
Exo 28:3 ...a priest set apart for my service.
Exo 28:15 ...a chestpiece to be worn for seeking a decision from God.
Exo 28:29 ...This will be a continual reminder that he represents the people when he comes before the Lord.
Exo 28:30 ...In this way, Aaron will always carry over his heart the objects used to determine the Lord’s will for his people whenever he goes in before the Lord.
Exo 28:35 ...If he wears it, he will not die.
Exo 28:38 ...He must always wear it on his forehead so the Lord will accept the people.
Exo 28:41 ...anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they can serve as my priests.
Exo 29:7 Then anoint him by pouring the anointing oil over his head.
Exo 29:21 ...In this way, they and their garments will be set apart as holy.
Exo 29:33 ...for these things are set apart and holy.
Exo 29:36 ...to purify them, making them right with the Lord.
Exo 29:41 ...It will be a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the Lord.
Exo 29:42 ...there I will meet with you and speak with you.
Exo 29:43 I will meet the people of Israel there, in the place made holy by my glorious presence.
Exo 29:44 Yes, I will consecrate the Tabernacle and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.
Exo 29:45 Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God,
Exo 29:46 and they will know that I am the Lord their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.
Exo 30:6 ...I will meet with you there.
Exo 30:9 Do not offer any unholy incense on this altar,...
Exo 30:15 ...this offering is given to the Lord to purify your lives, making you right with him,
Exo 30:16 ..It will bring the Israelites to the Lord’s attention, and it will purify your lives.”
Exo 30:20 They must wash with water whenever they go into the Tabernacle to appear before the Lord ...
Exo 30:21 They must always wash their hands and feet, or they will die.
Exo 30:29 Consecrate them to make them absolutely holy.
Exo 30:30 “Anoint Aaron and his sons also, consecrating them to serve me as priests.
Exo 30:32 ...it is holy, and you must treat it as holy.
Exo 30:37 ...It is reserved for the Lord, and you must treat it as holy.
Exo 31:3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.
Exo 31:13 ...‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation.
Exo 31:14 You must keep the Sabbath day, for it is a holy day for you.
Exo 31:15 ...but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the Lord.
Exo 31:18 ...he gave him the two stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, written by the finger of God.
Exo 32:7 ...Your people whom you brought from the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
Exo 32:8 How quickly they have turned away from the way I commanded them to live!
Exo 32:9 Then the Lord said, “I have seen how stubborn and rebellious these people are.
Exo 32:16 These tablets were God’s work; the words on them were written by God himself.
Exo 32:26 ...“All of you who are on the Lord’s side, come here and join me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
Exo 32:29 ..“Today you have ordained yourselves for the service of the Lord, for you obeyed him..Today you have earned a blessing.”
Exo 32:30 ...“You have committed a terrible sin, but I will go back up to the Lord on the mountain. Perhaps I will be able to obtain forgiveness for your sin.”
Exo 32:32 But now, if you will only forgive their sin—but if not, erase my name from the record you have written!”
Exo 32:33 But the Lord replied to Moses, “No, I will erase the name of everyone who has sinned against me.
Exo 32:34 ...And when I come to call the people to account, I will certainly hold them responsible for their sins.”
Exo 33:3 ...But I will not travel among you, for you are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you along the way.”
Exo 33:5 ...“You are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I were to travel with you for even a moment, I would destroy you.
Exo 33:6 So from the time they left Mount Sinai, the Israelites wore no more jewelry or fine clothes.
Exo 33:11 Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.
Exo 33:13 If it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor.
Exo 33:14 The Lord replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.”
Exo 33:15 Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.
Exo 33:16 ...For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.”
Exo 33:17 The Lord replied to Moses, “I will indeed do what you have asked, for I look favorably on you, and I know you by name.”
Exo 33:18 Moses responded, “Then show me your glorious presence.”
Exo 33:19 The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.
Exo 34:6 ... “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
Exo 34:7 I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations.”
Exo 34:8 Moses immediately threw himself to the ground and worshiped.
Exo 34:9 And he said, “O Lord, if it is true that I have found favor with you, then please travel with us. Yes, this is a stubborn and rebellious people, but please forgive our iniquity and our sins. Claim us as your own special possession.”
Exo 34:10 The Lord replied, “Listen, I am making a covenant with you in the presence of all your people. I will perform miracles that have never been performed anywhere in all the earth or in any nation. And all the people around you will see the power of the Lord—the awesome power I will display for you.
Exo 34:11 But listen carefully to everything I command you today.
Exo 34:12 “Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped.
Exo 34:14 You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.
Exo 34:15 “You must not make a treaty of any kind with the people living in the land.
Exo 34:18 “You must celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread...Celebrate this festival annually at the appointed time in early spring, in the month of Abib, for that is the anniversary of your departure from Egypt.
Exo 34:20 ...“No one may appear before me without an offering.
Exo 34:22 “You must celebrate the Festival of Harvest with the first crop of the wheat harvest, and celebrate the Festival of the Final Harvest at the end of the harvest season.
Exo 34:23 Three times each year every man in Israel must appear before the Sovereign, the Lord, the God of Israel.
Exo 34:26 “As you harvest your crops, bring the very best of the first harvest to the house of the Lord your God.
Exo 34:28 Moses remained there on the mountain with the Lord forty days and forty nights. In all that time he ate no bread and drank no water.
Exo 34:29 When Moses came down Mount Sinai carrying the two stone tablets...his face had become radiant because he had spoken to the Lord.
Exo 34:35 and the people of Israel would see the radiant glow of his face. So he would put the veil over his face until he returned to speak with the Lord.
Exo 35:5 Take a sacred offering for the Lord. Let those with generous hearts present the following gifts to the Lord:
Exo 35:10 “Come, all of you who are gifted craftsmen. Construct everything that the Lord has commanded:
Exo 35:21 All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the Lord.
Exo 36:5 They went to Moses and reported, “The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the Lord has commanded us to do!”
Exo 38:22 Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exo 39:7 ...All this was done just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exo 39:26 ...This robe was to be worn whenever the priest ministered before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exo 39:30 ...Holy to the Lord.
Exo 39:42 So the people of Israel followed all of the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
Exo 39:43 ...When he found it had been done just as the Lord had commanded him, he blessed them.
Exo 40:10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and its utensils to consecrate them. Then the altar will become absolutely holy.
Exo 40:15 ...With their anointing, Aaron’s descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever, from generation to generation.”
Exo 40:34 Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
Exo 40:35 Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
Exo 40:38 The cloud of the Lord hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it.
Exo 1:21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
Exo 2:23 ...They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God.
Exo 2:24 God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Exo 2:25 He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.
Exo 3:2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the middle of a bush. Moses stared in amazement.
Exo 3:5 “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.
Exo 3:6 I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was afraid to look at God.
Exo 3:7 Then the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering.
Exo 3:8 So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey ...
Exo 3:9 Look! The cry of the people of Israel has reached me,...
Exo 3:10 Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.”
Exo 3:12 God answered, “I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you...
Exo 3:14 God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.”
Exo 3:15 ...“Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh,..This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.
Exo 3:17 I have promised to rescue you from your oppression in Egypt. I will lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey...
Exo 4:11 Then the Lord asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?
Exo 4:12 Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”
Exo 4:17 And take your shepherd’s staff with you, and use it to perform the miraculous signs I have shown you.”
Exo 4:20 ...In his hand he carried the staff of God.
Exo 4:22 Then you will tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son.
Exo 4:31 ...When they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.
Exo 6:5 You can be sure that I have heard the groans of the people of Israel, who are now slaves to the Egyptians. And I am well aware of my covenant with them.
Exo 6:6 “Therefore, say to the people of Israel: ‘I am the Lord. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment.
Exo 6:7 I will claim you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God who has freed you from your oppression in Egypt.
Exo 7:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pay close attention to this. I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh,...
Exo 7:4 ...Then I will rescue my forces—my people, the Israelites—from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.
Exo 7:5 When I raise my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”
Exo 8:10 ...Then you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
Exo 8:19 “This is the finger of God!”
Exo 8:22 ...Then you will know that I am the Lord and that I am present even in the heart of your land.
Exo 8:23 I will make a clear distinction between my people and your people.
Exo 9:14 ...Then you will know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
Exo 9:16 But I have spared you for a purpose—to show you my power and to spread my fame throughout the earth.
Exo 9:27 ...“This time I have sinned,” he confessed. “The Lord is the righteous one, and my people and I are wrong.
Exo 9:29 ...you will know that the earth belongs to the Lord.
Exo 9:30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the Lord God.”
Exo 10:2 I’ve also done it so you can tell your children and grandchildren about how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and about the signs I displayed among them—and so you will know that I am the Lord.”
Exo 10:3 ...How long will you refuse to submit to me?
Exo 10:16 ...“I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you,” he confessed.
Exo 11:7 ...Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites.
Exo 12:11 ...Eat the meal with urgency, for this is the Lord’s Passover.
Exo 12:12 ...I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt, for I am the Lord!
Exo 12:13 But the blood on your doorposts will serve as a sign, ... When I see the blood, I will pass over you. This plague of death will not touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exo 12:14 “This is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation, you must celebrate it as a special festival to the Lord.
Exo 12:16 ...No work of any kind may be done on these days except in the preparation of food.
Exo 12:17 “Celebrate this Festival of Unleavened Bread, for it will remind you that I brought your forces out of the land of Egypt on this very day.
Exo 12:20 During those days you must not eat anything made with yeast. Wherever you live, eat only bread made without yeast.”
Exo 12:23 ...But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the Lord will pass over your home.
Exo 12:24 “Remember, these instructions are a permanent law that you and your descendants must observe forever.
Exo 12:27 ...‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. And though he struck the Egyptians, he spared our families.’” .
Exo 12:28 So the people of Israel did just as the Lord had commanded through Moses and Aaron.
Exo 12:51 On that very day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt like an army.
Exo 13:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Dedicate to me every firstborn among the Israelites. The first offspring to be born, of both humans and animals, belongs to me.”
Exo 13:3 So Moses said to the people, “This is a day to remember forever—the day you left Egypt, the place of your slavery. Today the Lord has brought you out by the power of his mighty hand.
Exo 13:7 In fact, there must be no yeast bread or any yeast at all found within the borders of your land during this time.
Exo 13:8 “On the seventh day you must explain to your children, ‘I am celebrating what the Lord did for me when I left Egypt.’
Exo 13:9 ...Let it remind you always to recite this teaching of the Lord: ‘With a strong hand, the Lord rescued you from Egypt.’
Exo 13:12 you must present all firstborn sons and firstborn male animals to the Lord, for they belong to him.
Exo 13:14 ...‘With the power of his mighty hand, the Lord brought us out of Egypt, the place of our slavery.
Exo 13:19 He said, “God will certainly come to help you. ...
Exo 13:21 The Lord went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud, and he provided light at night with a pillar of fire.
Exo 13:22 And the Lord did not remove the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire from its place in front of the people.
Exo 14:4 ...I have planned this in order to display my glory through Pharaoh and his whole army. After this the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord!”
Exo 14:13 ...“Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.
Exo 14:14 The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”
Exo 14:18 When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that I am the Lord!”
Exo 14:22 So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!
Exo 14:25 ...“Let’s get out of here—away from these Israelites!” the Egyptians shouted. “The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!”
Exo 14:31 When the people of Israel saw the mighty power that the Lord had unleashed against the Egyptians, they were filled with awe before him. They put their faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
Exo 15:1 “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.
Exo 15:2 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him—my father’s God, and I will exalt him!
Exo 15:3 The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!
Exo 15:6 "Your right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power.
Exo 15:11 “Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?
Exo 15:13 “With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home.
Exo 15:26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”
Exo 16:2 There, too, the whole community of Israel complained about Moses and Aaron.
Exo 16:4 ...I will test them in this to see whether or not they will follow my instructions.
Exo 16:6 ...“By evening you will realize it was the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 16:7 In the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your complaints, which are against him, not against us. What have we done that you should complain about us?”
Exo 16:8 ...Yes, your complaints are against the Lord, not against us.”
Exo 16:9 ...‘Present yourselves before the Lord, for he has heard your complaining.’”
Exo 16:10 ...they looked out toward the wilderness. There they could see the awesome glory of the Lord in the cloud.
Exo 16:12 “I have heard the Israelites’ complaints. Now tell them, ‘In the evening you will have meat to eat, and in the morning you will have all the bread you want. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”
Exo 16:15 ...And Moses told them, “It is the food the Lord has given you to eat.
Exo 16:18 ...Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough.
Exo 16:20 But some of them didn’t listen ...
Exo 16:23 “This is what the Lord commanded: Tomorrow will be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath day set apart for the Lord. ..
Exo 16:27 Some of the people went out anyway on the seventh day, but they found no food.
Exo 16:28 The Lord asked Moses, “How long will these people refuse to obey my commands and instructions?
Exo 16:29 They must realize that the Sabbath is the Lord’s gift to you.
Exo 16:34 Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exo 16:35 So the people of Israel ate manna for forty years until they arrived at the land where they would settle.
Exo 17:2 So once more the people complained against Moses. “Give us water to drink!” they demanded.
Exo 17:2 ... “Quiet!” Moses replied. “Why are you complaining against me? And why are you testing the Lord?”
Exo 17:6 I will stand before you on the rock at Mount Sinai. Strike the rock, and water will come gushing out.
Exo 17:7 Moses named the place Massah (which means “test”) and Meribah (which means “arguing”) because the people of Israel argued with Moses and tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord here with us or not?”
Exo 17:9 ...I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.”
Exo 17:15 Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-nissi (which means “the Lord is my banner”).
Exo 17:16 He said, “They have raised their fist against the Lord’s throne, so now the Lord will be at war with Amalek generation after generation.”
Exo 18:3 ...“I have been a foreigner in a foreign land.”
Exo 18:4 ...“The God of my ancestors was my helper; he rescued me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
Exo 18:8 ...He also told about all the hardships they had experienced along the way and how the Lord had rescued his people from all their troubles.
Exo 18:10 “Praise the Lord,” Jethro said, “for he has rescued you from the Egyptians and from Pharaoh.
Exo 18:11 I know now that the Lord is greater than all other gods, because he rescued his people from the oppression of the proud Egyptians.”
Exo 18:16 ...I inform the people of God’s decrees and give them his instructions.”
Exo 18:20 Teach them God’s decrees, and give them his instructions. Show them how to conduct their lives.
Exo 19:3 Then Moses climbed the mountain to appear before God.
Exo 19:3 ...“Give these instructions to the family of Jacob; announce it to the descendants of Israel.
Exo 19:4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You know how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.
Exo 19:5 Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me.
Exo 19:6 And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.’
Exo 19:8 And all the people responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded.”
Exo 19:9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will come to you in a thick cloud, Moses, so the people themselves can hear me when I speak with you. Then they will always trust you.”
Exo 19:10 Then the Lord told Moses, “Go down and prepare the people for my arrival. Consecrate them ...
Exo 19:14 So Moses went down to the people. He consecrated them for worship,...
Exo 19:17 Moses led them out from the camp to meet with God,and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
Exo 19:18 All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently.
Exo 19:22 Even the priests who regularly come near to the Lord must purify themselves so that the Lord does not break out and destroy them.”
Exo 20:2 “I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery.
Exo 20:3 “You must not have any other god but me.
Exo 20:4 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.
Exo 20:5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods...
Exo 20:5 ...I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.
Exo 20:6 But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.
Exo 20:7 “You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name.
Exo 20:8 “Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God.
Exo 20:11 ...the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.
Exo 20:12 “Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Exo 20:13 “You must not murder.
Exo 20:14 “You must not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15 “You must not steal.
Exo 20:16 “You must not testify falsely against your neighbor.
Exo 20:17 “You must not covet ...
Exo 20:19 And they said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen. But don’t let God speak directly to us, or we will die!”
Exo 20:20 “Don’t be afraid,” Moses answered them, “for God has come in this way to test you, and so that your fear of him will keep you from sinning!”
Exo 20:22 ...You saw for yourselves that I spoke to you from heaven.
Exo 20:24 ...Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you.
Exo 21:15 “Anyone who strikes father or mother must be put to death.
Exo 21:17 “Anyone who dishonors father or mother must be put to death.
Exo 22:21 “You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Exo 22:22 “You must not exploit a widow or an orphan. 23 If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry.
Exo 22:27 ...then I will hear, for I am merciful.
Exo 22:28 “You must not dishonor God or curse any of your rulers.
Exo 22:29 “You must not hold anything back when you give me offerings from your crops and your wine. “You must give me your firstborn sons.
Exo 22:31 “You must be my holy people.
Exo 23:1 “You must not pass along false rumors. You must not cooperate with evil people...
Exo 23:2 “You must not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you are called to testify in a dispute, do not be swayed by the crowd to twist justice.
Exo 23:3 And do not slant your testimony in favor of a person just because that person is poor.
Exo 23:4 “If you come upon your enemy’s ox or donkey that has strayed away, take it back to its owner.
Exo 23:5 If you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has collapsed under its load, do not walk by. Instead, stop and help.
Exo 23:6 “In a lawsuit, you must not deny justice to the poor.
Exo 23:7 “Be sure never to charge anyone falsely with evil. Never sentence an innocent or blameless person to death, for I never declare a guilty person to be innocent.
Exo 23:8 “Take no bribes, for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see. A bribe makes even a righteous person twist the truth.
Exo 23:9 “You must not oppress foreigners. You know what it’s like to be a foreigner, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Exo 23:13 “Pay close attention to all my instructions. You must not call on the name of any other gods. Do not even speak their names.
Exo 23:15 ...No one may appear before me without an offering.
Exo 23:17 ...every man in Israel must appear before the Sovereign, the Lord.
Exo 23:19 “As you harvest your crops, bring the very best of the first harvest to the house of the Lord your God.
Exo 23:20 “See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.
Exo 23:21 Pay close attention to him, and obey his instructions. Do not rebel against him, for he is my representative, and he will not forgive your rebellion.
Exo 23:22 But if you are careful to obey him, following all my instructions, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will oppose those who oppose you.
Exo 23:23 For my angel will go before you...
Exo 23:24 You must not worship the gods of these nations or serve them in any way or imitate their evil practices.
Exo 23:25 “You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness.
Exo 23:26 ...and I will give you long, full lives.
Exo 23:27 “I will send my terror ahead of you and create panic among all the people whose lands you invade. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
Exo 23:32 “Make no treaties with them or their gods.
Exo 23:33 They must not live in your land, or they will cause you to sin against me. If you serve their gods, you will be caught in the trap of idolatry.”
Exo 24:3 ...“We will do everything the Lord has commanded.”
Exo 24:4 Then Moses carefully wrote down all the Lord’s instructions.
Exo 24:7 ...“We will do everything the Lord has commanded. We will obey.”
Exo 24:8 ...“Look, this blood confirms the covenant the Lord has made with you in giving you these instructions.”
Exo 24:10 There they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there seemed to be a surface of brilliant blue lapis lazuli, as clear as the sky itself.
Exo 24:12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain...
Exo 24:16 And the glory of the Lord settled down on Mount Sinai,..
Exo 24:18 ...He remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Exo 25:2 “Tell the people of Israel to bring me their sacred offerings. Accept the contributions from all whose hearts are moved to offer them.
Exo 25:8 “Have the people of Israel build me a holy sanctuary so I can live among them.
Exo 25:22 I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant. From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel.
Exo 25:40 “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you ...
Exo 26:20 “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
Exo 26:21 ...Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning in the Lord’s presence all night.
Exo 28:1 ...Set them apart from the rest of the people of Israel so they may minister to me and be my priests.
Exo 28:3 ...a priest set apart for my service.
Exo 28:15 ...a chestpiece to be worn for seeking a decision from God.
Exo 28:29 ...This will be a continual reminder that he represents the people when he comes before the Lord.
Exo 28:30 ...In this way, Aaron will always carry over his heart the objects used to determine the Lord’s will for his people whenever he goes in before the Lord.
Exo 28:35 ...If he wears it, he will not die.
Exo 28:38 ...He must always wear it on his forehead so the Lord will accept the people.
Exo 28:41 ...anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they can serve as my priests.
Exo 29:7 Then anoint him by pouring the anointing oil over his head.
Exo 29:21 ...In this way, they and their garments will be set apart as holy.
Exo 29:33 ...for these things are set apart and holy.
Exo 29:36 ...to purify them, making them right with the Lord.
Exo 29:41 ...It will be a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the Lord.
Exo 29:42 ...there I will meet with you and speak with you.
Exo 29:43 I will meet the people of Israel there, in the place made holy by my glorious presence.
Exo 29:44 Yes, I will consecrate the Tabernacle and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.
Exo 29:45 Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God,
Exo 29:46 and they will know that I am the Lord their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.
Exo 30:6 ...I will meet with you there.
Exo 30:9 Do not offer any unholy incense on this altar,...
Exo 30:15 ...this offering is given to the Lord to purify your lives, making you right with him,
Exo 30:16 ..It will bring the Israelites to the Lord’s attention, and it will purify your lives.”
Exo 30:20 They must wash with water whenever they go into the Tabernacle to appear before the Lord ...
Exo 30:21 They must always wash their hands and feet, or they will die.
Exo 30:29 Consecrate them to make them absolutely holy.
Exo 30:30 “Anoint Aaron and his sons also, consecrating them to serve me as priests.
Exo 30:32 ...it is holy, and you must treat it as holy.
Exo 30:37 ...It is reserved for the Lord, and you must treat it as holy.
Exo 31:3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.
Exo 31:13 ...‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation.
Exo 31:14 You must keep the Sabbath day, for it is a holy day for you.
Exo 31:15 ...but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the Lord.
Exo 31:18 ...he gave him the two stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, written by the finger of God.
Exo 32:7 ...Your people whom you brought from the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
Exo 32:8 How quickly they have turned away from the way I commanded them to live!
Exo 32:9 Then the Lord said, “I have seen how stubborn and rebellious these people are.
Exo 32:16 These tablets were God’s work; the words on them were written by God himself.
Exo 32:26 ...“All of you who are on the Lord’s side, come here and join me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
Exo 32:29 ..“Today you have ordained yourselves for the service of the Lord, for you obeyed him..Today you have earned a blessing.”
Exo 32:30 ...“You have committed a terrible sin, but I will go back up to the Lord on the mountain. Perhaps I will be able to obtain forgiveness for your sin.”
Exo 32:32 But now, if you will only forgive their sin—but if not, erase my name from the record you have written!”
Exo 32:33 But the Lord replied to Moses, “No, I will erase the name of everyone who has sinned against me.
Exo 32:34 ...And when I come to call the people to account, I will certainly hold them responsible for their sins.”
Exo 33:3 ...But I will not travel among you, for you are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you along the way.”
Exo 33:5 ...“You are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I were to travel with you for even a moment, I would destroy you.
Exo 33:6 So from the time they left Mount Sinai, the Israelites wore no more jewelry or fine clothes.
Exo 33:11 Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.
Exo 33:13 If it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor.
Exo 33:14 The Lord replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.”
Exo 33:15 Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.
Exo 33:16 ...For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.”
Exo 33:17 The Lord replied to Moses, “I will indeed do what you have asked, for I look favorably on you, and I know you by name.”
Exo 33:18 Moses responded, “Then show me your glorious presence.”
Exo 33:19 The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.
Exo 34:6 ... “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
Exo 34:7 I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations.”
Exo 34:8 Moses immediately threw himself to the ground and worshiped.
Exo 34:9 And he said, “O Lord, if it is true that I have found favor with you, then please travel with us. Yes, this is a stubborn and rebellious people, but please forgive our iniquity and our sins. Claim us as your own special possession.”
Exo 34:10 The Lord replied, “Listen, I am making a covenant with you in the presence of all your people. I will perform miracles that have never been performed anywhere in all the earth or in any nation. And all the people around you will see the power of the Lord—the awesome power I will display for you.
Exo 34:11 But listen carefully to everything I command you today.
Exo 34:12 “Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped.
Exo 34:14 You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.
Exo 34:15 “You must not make a treaty of any kind with the people living in the land.
Exo 34:18 “You must celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread...Celebrate this festival annually at the appointed time in early spring, in the month of Abib, for that is the anniversary of your departure from Egypt.
Exo 34:20 ...“No one may appear before me without an offering.
Exo 34:22 “You must celebrate the Festival of Harvest with the first crop of the wheat harvest, and celebrate the Festival of the Final Harvest at the end of the harvest season.
Exo 34:23 Three times each year every man in Israel must appear before the Sovereign, the Lord, the God of Israel.
Exo 34:26 “As you harvest your crops, bring the very best of the first harvest to the house of the Lord your God.
Exo 34:28 Moses remained there on the mountain with the Lord forty days and forty nights. In all that time he ate no bread and drank no water.
Exo 34:29 When Moses came down Mount Sinai carrying the two stone tablets...his face had become radiant because he had spoken to the Lord.
Exo 34:35 and the people of Israel would see the radiant glow of his face. So he would put the veil over his face until he returned to speak with the Lord.
Exo 35:5 Take a sacred offering for the Lord. Let those with generous hearts present the following gifts to the Lord:
Exo 35:10 “Come, all of you who are gifted craftsmen. Construct everything that the Lord has commanded:
Exo 35:21 All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the Lord.
Exo 36:5 They went to Moses and reported, “The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the Lord has commanded us to do!”
Exo 38:22 Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exo 39:7 ...All this was done just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exo 39:26 ...This robe was to be worn whenever the priest ministered before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exo 39:30 ...Holy to the Lord.
Exo 39:42 So the people of Israel followed all of the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
Exo 39:43 ...When he found it had been done just as the Lord had commanded him, he blessed them.
Exo 40:10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and its utensils to consecrate them. Then the altar will become absolutely holy.
Exo 40:15 ...With their anointing, Aaron’s descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever, from generation to generation.”
Exo 40:34 Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
Exo 40:35 Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
Exo 40:38 The cloud of the Lord hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it.

Genesis
Gen 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it.
Gen 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
Gen 2:7 Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.
Gen 2:16 But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden—17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”
Gen 3:9 Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
Gen 3:11 “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”
Gen 3:17 And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.
Gen 4:4 Abel also brought a gift—the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift,
Gen 4:7 You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”
Gen 4:13 Cain replied to the Lord, “My punishment is too great for me to bear!
Gen 4:14 You have banished me from the land and from your presence; you have made me a homeless wanderer.
Gen 5:23 Enoch lived 365 years, 24 walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.
Gen 5:29 Lamech named his son Noah, for he said, “May he bring us relief from our work and the painful labor of farming this ground that the Lord has cursed.”
Gen 6:3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh.
Gen 6:5 The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.
Gen 6:6 So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.
Gen 6:8 But Noah found favor with the Lord.
Gen 6:9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close
fellowship with God.
Gen 6:18 But I will confirm my covenant with you. So enter the boat—you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
Gen 6:22 So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.
Gen 7:1 When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.
Gen 7:5 So Noah did everything as the Lord commanded him.
Gen 7:20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and there he sacrificed as burnt offerings the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose.
Gen 7:21 And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things.
Gen 7:8 Then God told Noah and his sons, Gen 7:9 “I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,
Gen 7:16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”
Gen 7:17 Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”
Gen 12:1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. Gen 12:2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.
Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
Gen 12:4 So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him.
Gen 12:7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
Gen 12:17 But the Lord sent terrible plagues upon Pharaoh and his household because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Gen 13:9 ...If you want the land to the left, then I’ll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I’ll go to the left.”
Gen 14:16 Abram recovered all the goods that had been taken, and he brought back his nephew Lot with his possessions and all the women and other captives.
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brought Abram some bread and wine.
Gen 14:19 Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing: “Blessed be Abram by God
Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
Gen 14:20 And blessed be God Most High, who has defeated your enemies for you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the goods he had recovered.
Gen 14:22 Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I solemnly swear to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, Gen 14:23 that I will not take so much as a single thread or sandal thong from what belongs to you. Otherwise you might say, ‘I am the one who made Abram rich.’
Gen 15:1 Some time later, the Lord spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.”
Gen 15:6 And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.
Gen 15:17 After the sun went down and darkness fell, Abram saw a smoking firepot and a flaming torch pass between the halves of the carcasses. Gen 15:18 So the Lord made a covenant with Abram that day.
Gen 16:8 The angel said to her, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
Gen 16:9 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority.”
Gen 16:11 You are to name him Ishmael (which means ‘God hears’), for the Lord has heard your cry of distress.
Gen 16:13 Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?”
Gen 17:1.....“I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.
Gen 17:2 I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.”
Gen 17:7 “I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
Gen 17:9 Then God said to Abraham, “Your responsibility is to obey the terms of the covenant. You and all your descendants have this continual responsibility.
Gen 17:13 ... Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant.
Gen 18:14 Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Gen 18:18 “For Abraham will certainly become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him.
Gen 18:19 I have singled him out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised.”
Gen 18:25 Surely you wouldn’t do such a thing, destroying the righteous along with the wicked. Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn’t do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
Gen 18:26 And the Lord replied, “If I find fifty righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the entire city for their sake.”
Gen 18:27...let me speak further to my Lord, even though I am but dust and ashes.
Gen 19:13 For we are about to destroy this city completely. The outcry against this place is so great it has reached the Lord, and he has sent us to destroy it.”
Gen 19:19 “You have been so gracious to me and saved my life, and you have shown such great kindness.
Gen 19:29 But God had listened to Abraham’s request and kept Lot safe, removing him from the disaster that engulfed the cities on the plain.
Gen 20:6 In the dream God responded, “Yes, I know you are innocent. That’s why I kept you from sinning against me,
Gen 21:6 And Sarah declared, “God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me.
Gen 21:20 And God was with the boy as he grew up in the wilderness. He became a skillful archer,
Gen 21:22 ...“God is obviously with you, helping you in everything you do,” bimelech said.
Gen 21:33 Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he worshiped the Lord, the Eternal God.
Gen 22:12.....for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son.”
Gen 22:13....“On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
Gen 22:16 “This is what the Lord says: Because you have obeyed me and have not withheld even your son, your only son,..
Gen 22:18 And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”
Gen 24:7 For the Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and my native land, solemnly promised to give this land to my descendants. He will send his angel ahead of you, ...
Gen 24:12 “O Lord, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed. “Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham.
Gen 24:26 The man bowed low and worshiped the Lord. 27 “Praise the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham,” he said. “The Lord has shown unfailing love and faithfulness to my master,...
Gen 24:35 “And the Lord has greatly blessed my master; he has become a wealthy man.
Gen 24:40‘The Lord, in whose presence I have lived, will send his angel with you and will make your mission successful.
Gen 24:48 “Then I bowed low and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham....
Gen 24:50 “The Lord has obviously brought you here, so there is nothing we can say.
Gen 25:21 Isaac pleaded with the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was unable to have children. The Lord answered Isaac’s prayer,
Gen 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.
Gen 26:2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt, but do as I tell you.
Gen 26:12 When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him.
Gen 26:22“At last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”
Gen 26:24 where the Lord appeared to him on the night of his arrival. “I am the God of your father, Abraham,” he said. “Do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you. I will multiply your descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will do this because of my promise to Abraham, my servant.”
Gen 26:28 They replied, “We can plainly see that the Lord is with you.
Gen 26:29..And now look how the Lord has blessed you!”
Gen 28:12 As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway.
Gen 28:15 I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”
Gen 28:16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I wasn’t even aware of it!”
Gen 28:17 But he was also afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! It is none other than the house of God, the very gateway to heaven!”
Gen 28:19 He named that place Bethel (which means “house of God”),
Gen 29:32 She named him Reuben, for she said, “The Lord has noticed my misery, ...
Gen 29:35 She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I will praise the Lord!”
Gen 30:6 Rachel named him Dan, for she said, “God has vindicated me! He has heard my request...
Gen 30:11 Leah named him Gad, for she said, “How fortunate I am!”
Gen 30:17 And God answered Leah’s prayers.
Gen 30:20...for she said, “God has given me a good reward.
Gen 30:23 ...“God has removed my disgrace,”
Gen 30:27...for the Lord has blessed me because of you.
Gen 31:5 ...But the God of my father has been with me.
Gen 31:6 ... But God has not allowed him to do me any harm.
Gen 31:13 I am the God who appeared to you at Bethel, the place where you anointed the pillar of stone and made your vow to me.
Gen 31:16 ...So go ahead and do whatever God has told you.”
Gen 31:42 In fact, if the God of my father had not been on my side—the God of Abraham and the fearsome God of Isaac...
Gen 31:49 “May the Lord keep watch between us to make sure that we keep this covenant when we are out of each other’s sight.
Gen 31:50 God will see it even if no one else does. He is a witness to this covenant between us.
Gen 32:2 “This is God’s camp!” So he named the place Mahanaim.
Gen 32:10 I am not worthy of all the unfailing love and faithfulness you have shown to me, your servant.
Gen 32:24 This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break.
Gen 32:26 But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
Gen 32:28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”
Gen 32:30 Jacob named the place Peniel (which means “face of God”), for he said, “I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been spared.”
Gen 33:10 ....And what a relief to see your friendly smile. It is like seeing the face of God!
Gen 33:11 ...for God has been very gracious to me. I have more than enough.”
Gen 35:1 Then God said to Jacob, “Get ready and move to Bethel and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you ...
Gen 35:3 We are now going to Bethel, where I will build an altar to the God who answered my prayers when I was in distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Gen 35:7 Jacob built an altar there and named the place El-bethel (which means “God of Bethel”), because God had appeared to him there ...
Gen 35:10 ...“Your name is Jacob, but you will not be called Jacob any longer. From now on your name will be Israel.” So God renamed him Israel.
Gen 35:11 Then God said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Be fruitful and multiply.
Gen 35:14 Jacob set up a stone pillar to mark the place where God had spoken to him...
Gen 35:15 And Jacob named the place Bethel (which means “house of God”), because God had spoken to him there.
Gen 38:7 But Er was a wicked man in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord took his life.
Gen 39:2 The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.
Gen 39:3 Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did.
Gen 39:5 From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake.
Gen 39:9 ...How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”
Gen 39:21 But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden.
Gen 39:23 ...The Lord was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.
Gen 40:15 ...and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it.”
Gen 41:16 “It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.”
Gen 41:32 ...it means that these events have been decreed by God, and he will soon make them happen.
Gen 41:38 ...“Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?”
Gen 41:39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are.
Gen 41:51 Joseph named his older son Manasseh, for he said, “God has made me forget all my troubles and everyone in my father’s family.”
Gen 41:52 Joseph named his second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in this land of my grief.”
Gen 42:18 ...Joseph said to them, “I am a God-fearing man.
Gen 43:14 May God Almighty give you mercy as you go before the man,...
Gen 45:5 But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.
Gen 45:7 ...God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors.
Gen 45:8 So it was God who sent me here, not you! And he is the one who made me an adviser to Pharaoh—the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt.
Gen 45:9 ...‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me master over all the land of Egypt.
Gen 48:3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me.
Gen 48:11 Then Jacob said to Joseph, “I never thought I would see your face again, but now God has let me see your children, too!”
Gen 48:15 ... the God who has been my shepherd all my life, to this very day,
Gen 48:16 the Angel who has redeemed me from all harm ...
Gen 49:18 I trust in you for salvation, O Lord!
Gen 49:24 ... and his arms were strengthened by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
Gen 49:25 May the God of your father help you; May the Almighty bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, ...
Gen 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.
Gen 50:24 ... “but God will surely come to help you and lead you out of this land of Egypt.
Gen 1:4 And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it.
Gen 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
Gen 2:7 Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.
Gen 2:16 But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden—17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”
Gen 3:9 Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
Gen 3:11 “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”
Gen 3:17 And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.
Gen 4:4 Abel also brought a gift—the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift,
Gen 4:7 You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”
Gen 4:13 Cain replied to the Lord, “My punishment is too great for me to bear!
Gen 4:14 You have banished me from the land and from your presence; you have made me a homeless wanderer.
Gen 5:23 Enoch lived 365 years, 24 walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.
Gen 5:29 Lamech named his son Noah, for he said, “May he bring us relief from our work and the painful labor of farming this ground that the Lord has cursed.”
Gen 6:3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh.
Gen 6:5 The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.
Gen 6:6 So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.
Gen 6:8 But Noah found favor with the Lord.
Gen 6:9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close
fellowship with God.
Gen 6:18 But I will confirm my covenant with you. So enter the boat—you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
Gen 6:22 So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.
Gen 7:1 When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.
Gen 7:5 So Noah did everything as the Lord commanded him.
Gen 7:20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and there he sacrificed as burnt offerings the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose.
Gen 7:21 And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things.
Gen 7:8 Then God told Noah and his sons, Gen 7:9 “I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,
Gen 7:16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”
Gen 7:17 Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”
Gen 12:1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. Gen 12:2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.
Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
Gen 12:4 So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him.
Gen 12:7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
Gen 12:17 But the Lord sent terrible plagues upon Pharaoh and his household because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Gen 13:9 ...If you want the land to the left, then I’ll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I’ll go to the left.”
Gen 14:16 Abram recovered all the goods that had been taken, and he brought back his nephew Lot with his possessions and all the women and other captives.
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brought Abram some bread and wine.
Gen 14:19 Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing: “Blessed be Abram by God

Gen 14:20 And blessed be God Most High, who has defeated your enemies for you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the goods he had recovered.
Gen 14:22 Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I solemnly swear to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, Gen 14:23 that I will not take so much as a single thread or sandal thong from what belongs to you. Otherwise you might say, ‘I am the one who made Abram rich.’
Gen 15:1 Some time later, the Lord spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.”
Gen 15:6 And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.

Gen 18:19 I have singled him out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised.”
Gen 18:25 Surely you wouldn’t do such a thing, destroying the righteous along with the wicked. Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn’t do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
Gen 18:26 And the Lord replied, “If I find fifty righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the entire city for their sake.”
Gen 18:27...let me speak further to my Lord, even though I am but dust and ashes.

Gen 26:22“At last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”
Gen 26:24 where the Lord appeared to him on the night of his arrival. “I am the God of your father, Abraham,” he said. “Do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you. I will multiply your descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will do this because of my promise to Abraham, my servant.”
Gen 26:28 They replied, “We can plainly see that the Lord is with you.
Gen 26:29..And now look how the Lord has blessed you!”
Gen 28:12 As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway.
