To Be Determined

Uncategorized Scripture

:

As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

:

Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

:

who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

:

Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

:

It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

:

While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

:

A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

:

When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

:

It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him.

:

Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

:

Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

:

I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

:

Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

:

While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

:

They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

:

“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

:

But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

:

There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

:

Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

:

and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

:

John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

:

Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

:

It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

:

and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

:

They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

:

When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

:

But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

:

For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

:

As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

:

Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

:

He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

:

But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God.”

:

Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

:

But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

:

Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come.

:

Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.

:

Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

:

Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.

:

Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

:

If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

:

Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.

:

Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

:

Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

:

But into whatever city you enter, and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,

:

Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

:

I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

:

“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

:

But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

:

You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.

:

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

:

The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

:

He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.

:

Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.

:

Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

:

In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”

:

Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

:

Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

:

for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”

:

Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

:

He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”

:

He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

:

He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

:

But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”

:

Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

:

By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

:

In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

:

But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

:

came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

:

On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’

:

Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”

:

He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

:

It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

:

She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.

:

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”

:

Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

:

but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

:

It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”

:

He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven.

:

Give us day by day our daily bread.

:

Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”

:

He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

:

for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’

:

and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?

:

I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.

:

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

:

For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

:

“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

:

Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?

:

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

:

He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

:

But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

:

Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

:

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.

:

If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

:

But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.

:

But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.

:

“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.

:

But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.

:

“He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.

:

The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
