Light of the Lord
Pivotal Bible Verses
Isaiah 2:5 ... come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge…
John 1:1 In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1 John 1:5 ... God is light, and in him is no
darkness at all.
John 1:3-4 All things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made
that was made. In him was life; and the
life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:6-9 There was a man
sent from God, whose name was John. The
same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that
all men through him might believe. He
was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John 1:17 For the law was
given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John 3:5-6 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:16-21 For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life. For God sent not
his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved. He that believeth on
him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because
he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil. For every one that
doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the
light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:27 … A man can receive nothing, except it be
given him from heaven.
THE BAPTISM OF JESUS
Mark 1:1-9 The beginning of
the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy
face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make his paths straight. John did
baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the
remission of sins. And there went out
unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized
of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and
with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild
honey; And
preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of
whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus
came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily
shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art
my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
John 3:35-36 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into
his hand. He that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him.
THE TEMPTATION OF CHRIST
Matthew 4:1-11 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil. And when he had fasted forty
days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when
the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son
of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into
the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the
temple, And saith
unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He
shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall
bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into
an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the
kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And saith unto him, All these things will I
give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus
unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth
him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Mark 1:14-18 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus
came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe
the gospel. Now as he walked by the sea
of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for
they were fishers. And Jesus said unto
them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they forsook their
nets, and followed him.
Mark 1:19-22 And when he had gone a little farther
thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in
the ship mending their nets. And
straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with
the hired servants, and went after him.
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and
taught. And they were astonished at his
doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
JESUS LEAVES NAZARETH
Luke 4:16-24 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was,
he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and
stood up for to read. And there was
delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the
book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised, To
preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave
it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in
the synagogue were fastened on him. And
he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, and
wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said,
Is not this Joseph's son? And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever
we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
Luke 4:24-32 But I tell you of
a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was
shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the
land; But unto none of them was Elias
sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a
woman that was a widow. And many lepers
were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet;
and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the
Syrian. And all they in the synagogue, when they
heard these things, were filled with wrath,
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow
of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down
headlong. But he passing through the
midst of them went his way,
And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on
the sabbath days.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
WATER INTO WINE
John 2:1-5,7-11 And the third day there was a
marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples,
to the marriage. And when they wanted
wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is
not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do
it. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of
the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was:
(but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called
the bridegroom, And
saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set
forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but
thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in
Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on
him.
Mark 1:23-28 And there was in
their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do
with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to
destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
And when the
unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of
him. And they were all amazed, insomuch
that they questioned among themselves, saying, What
thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he
even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. And immediately his fame spread abroad
throughout all the region round about Galilee.
Mark 1:29-34 And forthwith, when
they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and
Andrew, with James and John. But
Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the hand, and
lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto
them. And at even, when the sun did
set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed
with devils. And all
the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not
the devils to speak, because they knew him.
Mark 1:35-39 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and
departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon and they that were with him
followed after him. And when they had
found him, they said unto him, All men seek for
thee. And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore
came I forth. And he preached in their synagogues
throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
Mark 2:13-17 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto
him, and he taught them. And as he
passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at
the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. And
it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and
sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many,
and they followed him. And when the
scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto
his disciples, How is it that he eateth
and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith
unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I
came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
LIVING WATER
John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst
again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit:
and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Mark 2:23-28 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to
pluck the ears of corn. And the
Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? How he went into the house of God in the
days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests,
and gave also to them which were with him? And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore
the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Mark 3:1-6 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a
withered hand. And they watched him,
whether he would heal him on the sabbath
day; that they might accuse him. And he
saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. And he saith unto
them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to
do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when
he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of
their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. And the Pharisees went forth, and
straightway took counsel with the Herodians against
him, how they might destroy him.
Mark 3:7-10 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great
multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what
great things he did, came unto him. And he spake to his disciples, that a
small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng
him. For he had healed many;
insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
Matthew 5:1-12 And seeing the
multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came
unto him: And he opened his mouth, and
taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall
be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for
they shall inherit the earth. Blessed
are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be
filled. Blessed are the merciful: for
they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the
pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of
God. Blessed are they which are
persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you,
and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:16-17 Let your light so
shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven. Think not that I am
come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5:21-22 Ye have heard
that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall
kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a
cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his
brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but
whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him;
lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver
thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Matthew 5:27-30 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit
adultery: But I say unto you, That
whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye
offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable
for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell. And if thy
right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matthew 5:31-32 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement: But I say unto
you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication,
causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall
marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Matthew 5:33-37 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all;
neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it
is the city of the great King. Neither
shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or
black. But let your communication be,
Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these
cometh of evil.
Matthew 5:38-42 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on
thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at
the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever
shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn
not thou away.
Matthew 5:43-48 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour,
and hate thine enemy. But I say unto
you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate
you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father
which is in heaven: for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth
rain on the just and on the unjust. For
if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do
not even the publicans the same? And if
ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than
others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
HOW TO PRAY –THE LORD’S PRAYER
Matthew 6:5-15 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the
hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the
corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall
reward thee openly. But when ye pray,
use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be
heard for their much speaking. Be not
ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our
Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread. And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors. And lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen. For if ye forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Luke 11:9-10 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Luke 11:17 … Every kingdom
divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a
house falleth.
Luke 11:21-23 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods
are in peace: But when a stronger than
he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth
his spoils. He that is not with me is
against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for
yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal: But
lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor
steal: For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:22-24 The light of the
body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full
of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy
whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be
darkness, how great is that darkness!
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love
the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot
serve God and mammon.
Luke 12:8-12 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of
man also confess before the angels of God:
But he that denieth me before men shall be
denied before the angels of God. And
whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him:
but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost
it shall not be forgiven. And when they
bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye
shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall
teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Matthew 6:25,32-33 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink;
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.
Luke 12:49-53 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already
kindled? But I have a baptism to be
baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I
am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in
one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son,
and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the
daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and
the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke
upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls. For
my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
JESUS FEEDS THE MULTITUDES
Matthew 14:14-21 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great
multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their
sick. And when it was evening, his
disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now
past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy
themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto
them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
And they say unto
him, We have here but five loaves, and two
fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five
loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake,
and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and
they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five
thousand men, beside women and children.
JESUS WALKS ON THE SEA
Matthew 14:22-33 And straightway
Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto
the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he
went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was
there alone. But the ship was now in
the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus
went unto them, walking on the sea. And
when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake
unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
And Peter answered
him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto
thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter
was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was
afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his
hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little
faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the
ship, the wind ceased. Then they that
were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a
truth thou art the Son of God.
Mark 10:13-16 And they brought
young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked
those that brought them. But when Jesus
saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is
the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto
you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as
a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms,
put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
Mark 10:23-27 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished
at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how
hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they were astonished out of
measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?And Jesus looking upon them saith,
With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are
possible.
Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few
chosen.
Mark 10:32-34 And they were in
the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were
amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve,
and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, Saying, Behold, we go up
to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and
unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to
the Gentiles: And they shall mock him,
and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the
third day he shall rise again.
Matthew 21:12-14 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and
cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables
of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have
made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came to him in
the temple; and he healed them.
John 2:18-21 Then answered the Jews and said unto
him, What sign shewest thou
unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it
up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was
this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake
of the temple of his body.
Matthew 21:14-17 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did,
and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David;
they were sore displeased, And said
unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye
never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
thou hast perfected praise? And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged
there.
Matthew 21:21-22 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he
came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered
away. And when the disciples saw it,
they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away! Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do
this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be
done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall
ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Mark 11:25-26 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought
against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your
trespasses. But if ye do not forgive,
neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
HE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE
John 8:3-11 And the scribes and Pharisees brought
unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very
act. Now Moses in the law commanded us,
that such should be stoned: but what sayest
thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped
down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them
not. So when they continued asking him,
he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is
without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote
on the ground. And they which heard it,
being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the
eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in
the midst. When Jesus had lifted up
himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus
said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
THE JEWS CONFRONT JESUS
John 8:12-15 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto
him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is
not true. Jesus answered and said unto
them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came,
and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus
to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in
my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:40,45-47,59 But now ye seek
to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God And because I tell you the truth, ye believe
me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not
believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye
are not of God. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus
hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and
so passed by.
THE GOOD SHEPERD AND HIS SHEEP
John 10:7-15 Then said Jesus
unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and
robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out,
and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to
kill, and to destroy: I am come that
they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd
giveth his life for the sheep. But he
that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own
the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:
and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth
the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for
the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and
know my sheep, and am known of mine. As
the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and
I lay down my life for the sheep.
John 10:23-31 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ,
tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name,
they bear witness of me. But ye believe
not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and
they follow me: And I give unto them
eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand. My Father, which gave them
me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's
hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again
to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works
do ye stone me?
John 10:37-39 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me,
believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and
I in him. Therefore they sought again to take him: but
he escaped out of their hand,
RAISING OF LAZARUS
John 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her
sister Martha.
4-8 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is
not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be
glorified thereby. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When he had heard therefore that he was
sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. His disciples say unto him, Master,
the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou
thither again?
14-17 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is
dead. And I am glad for your sakes that
I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let
us also go, that we may die with him.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days
already.
20-27 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died. But I
know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it
thee. Jesus saith
unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith
unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last
day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou
this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou
art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his
feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died.
32-44 When Jesus therefore saw
her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the
spirit, and was troubled. And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto
him, Lord, come and see. Jesus
wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved
him! And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind,
have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself
cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the
sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by
this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four
days. Jesus saith
unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest
believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from
the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up
his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest
me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may
believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he
cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which
Jesus did, believed on him.
45-53 But some of them went their ways to the
Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. Then gathered the chief priests and the
Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will
believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and
nation. And one of them, named
Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing
at all, Nor consider that it is
expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole
nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year,
he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also
he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered
abroad. Then from that day forth they
took counsel together for to put him to death.
Luke 20:1-8 And it came to pass, that on one of those
days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief
priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, And spake unto
him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou
these things? or who is he that gave thee this
authority? And he answered and said
unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: The baptism of John,
was it from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves,
saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why
then believed ye him not? But and if we
say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be
persuaded that John was a prophet. And
they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD
Luke 20:9-19 Then began he to
speak to the people this parable; A certain man
planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country
for a long time. And at the season he
sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the
vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent another servant: and they
beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. And again he sent a third: and they wounded
him also, and cast him out. Then said
the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send
my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. But when the husbandmen saw him, they
reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir:
come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and
killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these husbandmen,
and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the
same is become the head of the corner?
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever
it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on
him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this
parable against them.
PARABLE OF THE WEDDING FEAST
Matthew 22:8-14 Then saith he (the king) to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not
worthy. Go ye therefore into the
highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the
highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good:
and the wedding was furnished with guests.
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which
had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest
thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him
hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into
outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but
few are chosen.
RENDER UNTO CAESAR
Mark 12:12-17 And they sought to
lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the
parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. And they send unto him certain of the
Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his
words. And when they were come, they
say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest
for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men,
but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to
give tribute to Caesar, or not? Shall
we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them,
Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are
God's. And they marvelled at him.
THE PHARISEES CONTINUE TO QUESTION JESUS
Matthew 22:28-33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be
of the seven? for they all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry,
nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the resurrection of the
dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the multitude heard this,
they were astonished at his doctrine.
Matthew 22:35-40 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him,
and saying, Master, which is the great
commandment in the law? Jesus said unto
him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind. This is the first and great
commandment. And the second is like
unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. On these two commandments hang
all the law and the prophets.
Luke 20:39-40 Then certain of the
scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. And after that they durst not ask him any
question at all.
Matthew 22:41-46 While the Pharisees
were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. He saith unto
them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call
him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word,
neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
Luke 20:45-47 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, Beware of the
scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets,
and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew
make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Matthew 23:8-12 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are
brethren. And call no man your father
upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye
called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant. And whosoever shall exalt
himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Luke 20:1-4 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the
treasury. And he saw also a certain
poor widow casting in thither two mites.
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they
all: For all these have of their
abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in
all the living that she had.
John 12: 42-48 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also
many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest
they should be put out of the synagogue:
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth
me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that
whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe
not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
THE LAST SUPPER
Luke 22:14-20 And when the hour
was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with
you before I suffer: For I say unto
you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of
God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and
said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the
kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them,
saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper,
saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the
remission of sins.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me.
John 15:9-14 As the Father
hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my
love. If ye keep my commandments, ye
shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide
in his love. These things have I spoken
unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That
ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man
lay down his life for his friends. Ye
are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Luke 22:31-34 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you
as wheat: But I have prayed for thee,
that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. And he said unto him, Lord, I am
ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt
thrice deny that thou knowest me.
Luke 22:36-38 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and
he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is written
must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors:
for the things concerning me have an end.
And they said,
Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
PRAYER IN THE GARDEN AND THE ARREST OF JESUS CHRIST
Luke 22
39 And he came out,
and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and
his disciples also followed him.
40 And when he was
at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And he was
withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my
will, but thine, be done.
43 And there
appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an
agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of
blood falling down to the ground.
45 And when he rose
up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for
sorrow,
46 And said unto
them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude,
and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew
near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said
unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 When they which
were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite
with the sword?
John 18:10-12 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and
smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name
was Malchus.
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword
into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink
it?
Luke 22:50-53 And one of them
smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the
elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye
stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of
darkness.
PETER DENIES JESUS
Luke 22:54-65 Then took they him,
and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed
afar off. And when they had kindled a
fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among
them. But a certain maid beheld him as
he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This
man was also with him. And he denied
him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And
after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou
art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour after
another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this
fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he
yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked upon
Peter. And Peter remembered the word of
the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock
crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And
Peter went out, and wept bitterly. And
the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they
struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote
thee? And many other things
blasphemously spake they against him.
John 19:10-11 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest
thou not unto me? knowest
thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release
thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me,
except it were given thee from above: therefore he
that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
Luke 23:20-24 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again
to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I
have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him
go. And they were instant with loud
voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the
chief priests prevailed. And Pilate
gave sentence that it should be as they required.
Matthew 23:3-5 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he
saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed
the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us?
see thou to that.
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and
went and hanged himself.
DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST
Luke 23:32-42 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to
death. And when they were come to the
place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors,
one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided
him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen
of God. And the soldiers also mocked
him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, And saying, If thou be the king of the
Jews, save thyself. And a superscription
also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew,
"This Is The King Of The Jews". And one of the malefactors which were hanged
railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself
and us. But the other answering rebuked
him, saying, Dost not thou
fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due
reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord,
remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me
in paradise.
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his
head, and gave up the ghost.
BURIAL OF JESUS CHRIST
Matthew 27:57-60 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus'
disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged
the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he
wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which
he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
Matthew 27:62-66 Now the next day, that followed the day of
the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto
Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that
that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise
again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his
disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than
the first. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye
can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST
Matthew 28: In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of
the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended
from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon
it. His countenance was like lightning,
and his raiment white as snow: And for
fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the
women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen,
as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord
lay. And go quickly, and tell his
disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold,
he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see
him: lo, I have told you. And they
departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and
great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
Mark 16:14-16 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as
they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said
unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature. He that believeth and
is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 20:29 Jesus saith
unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they that
have not seen, and yet have believed.
ASCENSION OF JESUS CHRIST
Luke 24:44-53 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while
I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in
the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding,
that they might understand the scriptures,
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from
the dead the third day: And that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye
are witnesses of these things. And,
behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of
Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. And he led them out as far as to
Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them,
he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to
Jerusalem with great joy: And were
continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
THE FIRST GOSPEL SERMON
Acts 2:36-37 Therefore let all the house of Israel know
assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord
and Christ. Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the
apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:41 Then they that
gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto
them about three thousand souls.
Romans 3:23 For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of
sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Romans 8:28 And we know that
all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor
things to come, Nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
BE SUBJECT TO THE AUTHORITIES
Romans 13:1-4 Let every soul be
subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers
that be are ordained of God. Whosoever
therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist
shall receive to themselves damnation.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but
to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do
that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for
good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he
beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister
of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Romans 13:12-14 The night is far
spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and
let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting
and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
envying. But put ye
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the
lusts thereof.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such
as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it.
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not
at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the
things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are
eternal.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
PUT ON THE NEW MAN
Ephesians 4:21-32 If so be that ye have heard him, and have
been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after
God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour:
for we are members one of another. Be
ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon
your wrath: Neither give place to the
devil. Let him that stole steal no
more: but rather let him labour, working with his
hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no
corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the
use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy
Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger,
and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you,
with all malice: And be ye kind one to
another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake
hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 5:8 For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of
light:
ARMOUR OF GOD
Ephesians 6:11-17 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace.
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked; And take the helmet of salvation, and
the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for
nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me.
Hebrews 5:7-9 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications
with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and
was heard in that he feared; Though he
were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author
of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Hebrews 8:5-7 See, saith he, that thou make all things according to
the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he
is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better
promises. For if that first covenant
had been faultless, then should no place have been
sought for the second.
James 1:15 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the
Father of lights...
James 1:19-20 Wherefore, my
beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of
God.
Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
Luke 21:25-28 And there shall
be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken. And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass,
then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth
nigh.
Luke 21:31-36 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the
kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily
I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away,
till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth
shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any
time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that
dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore,
and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
James 4:7-8 Submit yourselves
therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you…
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and he shall lift you up.
2 Peter 2:20-22 For if after they have escaped the
pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and
overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have
known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from
the holy commandment delivered unto them.
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that
was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
James 5:15-16 And the prayer of
faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have
committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye
may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
2 Peter 3:10-11 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief
in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that
are therein shall be burned up. Seeing
then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye
to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another: for love
is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God,
and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth
not God; for God is love.
1 John 1:5-9 ...God is light, and in him is no darkness
at all; If we say that we have
fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanseth us from all sin; If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us;
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait
upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and
lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Psalms 23
1 The Lord is my
shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me
in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I
walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord for ever.
Psalms 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom
shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of
whom shall I be afraid?

might not sin against thee.
