John Chapter 1220 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, āSir, we wish to see Jesus.ā22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.23 And Jesus answered them, āThe hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.27 āNow is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? āFather, save me from this hourā? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.28 Father, glorify your name.ā Then a voice came from heaven: āI have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.ā29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, āAn angel has spoken to him.ā30 Jesus answered, āThis voice has come for your sake, not mine.31 Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.ā33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. Luke Chapter 718 The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John,19 calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, āAre you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?ā20 And when the men had come to him, they said, āJohn the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, āAre you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?ā ā21 In that hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he bestowed sight.22 And he answered them, āGo and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.23 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.ā24 When Johnās messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: āWhat did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and live in luxury are in kingsā courts.26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.27 This is he of whom it is written, ā āBehold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.ā28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.ā29 (When all the people heard this, and the tax collectors too, they declared God just, having been baptized with the baptism of John,30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)31 āTo what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, ā āWe played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.ā33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, āHe has a demon.ā34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, āLook at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!ā35 Yet wisdom is justified by all her children.ā Matthew Chapter 112 Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples3 and said to him, āAre you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?ā4 And Jesus answered them, āGo and tell John what you hear and see:5 the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.6 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.ā7 As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: āWhat did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?8 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kingsā houses.9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.10 This is he of whom it is written, ā āBehold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.ā11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.16 āBut to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,17 ā āWe played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.ā18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, āHe has a demon.ā19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, āLook at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!āYet wisdom is justified by her deeds.ā Matthew Chapter 1815 āIf your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.ā21 Then Peter came up and said to him, āLord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?ā22 Jesus said to him, āI do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven. |
