Acts
Chapter 16

1 He reached (also) Derbe and Lystra where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.

2 The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke highly of him,

3 and Paul wanted him to come along with him. On account of the Jews of that region, Paul had him circumcised, ¹ for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 As they traveled from city to city, they handed on to the people for observance the decisions reached by the apostles and presbyters in Jerusalem.

5 Day after day the churches grew stronger in faith and increased in number.

6 They traveled through the Phrygian and Galatian territory because they had been prevented by the holy Spirit from preaching the message in the province of Asia.

7 When they came to Mysia, they tried to go on into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus ² did not allow them,

8 so they crossed through Mysia and came down to Troas.

9 During (the) night Paul had a vision. A Macedonian stood before him and implored him with these words, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

10 When he had seen the vision, we ³ sought passage to Macedonia at once, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.

Psalms
Chapter 100

1 A psalm of thanksgiving. Shout joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;

2 worship the LORD with cries of gladness; come before him with joyful song.

3 Know that the LORD is God, our maker to whom we belong, whosepeople we are, God's well-tended flock.

5 good indeed is the LORD, Whose love endures forever, whose faithfulness lasts through every age.

John
Chapter 15

18 "If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.

19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you.

20 Remember the word I spoke to you, ² 'No slave is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

21 And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, ³ because they do not know the one who sent me.

Jeremiah 7-11

1 John
Chapter 1

5 Now this is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light, ¹ and in him there is no darkness at all.

6 If we say, "We have fellowship with him," while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth.

7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say, "We are without sin," we deceive ourselves, ² and the truth is not in us.

9 If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing.

10 If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Chapter 2

1 My children, ³ I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.

2 He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.

Acts
Chapter 15

22 Then the apostles and presbyters, in agreement with the whole church, decided to choose representatives and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The ones chosen were Judas, who was called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders among the brothers.

23 This is the letter delivered by them: "The apostles and the presbyters, your brothers, to the brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia of Gentile origin: greetings.

24 Since we have heard that some of our number (who went out) without any mandate from us have upset you with their teachings and disturbed your peace of mind,

25 we have with one accord decided to choose representatives and to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

26 who have dedicated their lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27 So we are sending Judas and Silas who will also convey this same message by word of mouth:

28 'It is the decision of the holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities,

29 namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage. If you keep free of these, you will be doing what is right. Farewell.'"

30 And so they were sent on their journey. Upon their arrival in Antioch they called the assembly together and delivered the letter.

31 When the people read it, they were delighted with the exhortation.

Psalms
Chapter 57

7 They have set a trap for my feet; my soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me. May they fall into it themselves! Selah

8 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and chant praise.

9 Awake, my soul; awake, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn.

10 I will praise you among the peoples, Lord; I will chant your praise among the nations.

11 For your love towers to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.

John
Chapter 15

12 This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.

13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.

14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.

15 I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, ² because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.

16 It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.

17 This I command you: love one another.

Job 27-28

Acts
Chapter 15

7 After much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them, "My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe.

8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us.

9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.

10 Why, then, are you now putting God to the test by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?

11 On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they." ²

12 The whole assembly fell silent, and they listened while Paul and Barnabas described the signs and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles through them.

13 After they had fallen silent, James responded, "My brothers, listen to me.

14 Symeon ⁴ has described how God first concerned himself with acquiring from among the Gentiles a people for his name.

15 The words of the prophets agree with this, as is written:

16 'After this I shall return and rebuild the fallen hut of David; from its ruins I shall rebuild it and raise it up again,

17 so that the rest of humanity may seek out the Lord, even all the Gentiles on whom my name is invoked. Thus says the Lord who accomplishes these things,

18 known from of old.'

19 It is my judgment, therefore, that we ought to stop troubling the Gentiles who turn to God,

20 but tell them by letter to avoid pollution from idols, unlawful marriage, the meat of strangled animals, and blood.

21 For Moses, for generations now, has had those who proclaim him in every town, as he has been read in the synagogues every sabbath."

Psalms
Chapter 96

1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.

3 Tell God's glory among the nations; among all peoples, God's marvelous deeds.

10 say among the nations: The LORD is king. The world will surely stand fast, never to be moved. God rules the peoples with fairness.

John
Chapter 15

9 As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.

10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

11 "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.

Acts
Chapter 15

1 Some who had come down from Judea were instructing the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised according to the Mosaic practice, you cannot be saved." ²

2 Because there arose no little dissension and debate by Paul and Barnabas with them, it was decided that Paul, Barnabas, and some of the others should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and presbyters about this question.

3 They were sent on their journey by the church, and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria telling of the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers.

4 When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, as well as by the apostles and the presbyters, and they reported what God had done with them.

5 But some from the party of the Pharisees who had become believers stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise them and direct them to observe the Mosaic law."

6 The apostles and the presbyters met together to see about this matter.

Psalms
Chapter 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. ¹ I rejoiced when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."

2 And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about.

4 Here the tribes have come, the tribes of the LORD, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 Here are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David.

John
Chapter 15

1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.

2 He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.

3 You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.

4 Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.

5 I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.

6 Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned.

7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.

8 By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.

Acts
Chapter 14

19 However, some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

20 But when the disciples gathered around him, he got up and entered the city. On the following day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

21 After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and made a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.

22 They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying, "It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God."

23 They appointed presbyters ¹ for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith.

24 Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.

25 After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.

26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now accomplished.

27 And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 Then they spent no little time with the disciples.

Psalms
Chapter 145

9 The LORD is good to all, compassionate to every creature.

10 All your works give you thanks, O LORD and your faithful bless you.

11 They speak of the glory of your reign and tell of your great works,

12 Making known to all your power, the glorious splendor of your rule.

20 You, LORD, watch over all who love you, but all the wicked you destroy.

John
Chapter 14

27 Peace ¹ I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.

28 You heard me tell you, 'I am going away and I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you this before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world ³ is coming. He has no power over me,

31 but the world must know that I love the Father and that I do just as the Father has commanded me. Get up, let us go.

1 Peter
Chapter 5

5 Likewise, you younger members, ² be subject to the presbyters. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for: "God opposes the proud but bestows favor on the humble."

6 So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

7 Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you.

8 Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for (someone) to devour.

9 Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings.

10 The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through Christ (Jesus) will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little.

11 To him be dominion forever. Amen.

12 I write you this briefly through Silvanus, ³ whom I consider a faithful brother, exhorting you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Remain firm in it.

13 The chosen one ⁴ at Babylon sends you greeting, as does Mark, my son.

14 Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

Psalms
Chapter 89

1 A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

2 The promises of the LORD I will sing forever, proclaim your loyalty through all ages.

5 I will make your dynasty stand forever and establish your throne through all ages." Selah

6 The heavens praise your marvels, LORD, your loyalty in the assembly of the holy ones.

15 Justice and judgment are the foundation of your throne; love and loyalty march before you.

16 Happy the people who know you, LORD, who walk in the radiance of your face.

Mark
Chapter 16

15 He said to them, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.

16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.

17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages.

18 They will pick up serpents (with their hands), and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.

20 But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.) ¹

Acts
Chapter 6

1 At that time, as the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.

2 So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, "It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. ³

3 Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task,

4 whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."

5 The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the holy Spirit, also Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism.

6 They presented these men to the apostles who prayed and laid hands on them. ⁴

7 The word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly; even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to the faith.

Psalms
Chapter 33

1 Rejoice, you just, in the LORD; praise from the upright is fitting.

2 Give thanks to the LORD on the harp; on the ten-stringed lyre offer praise.

4 For the LORD'S word is true; all his works are trustworthy.

5 The LORD loves justice and right and fills the earth with goodness.

18 But the LORD'S eyes are upon the reverent, upon those who hope for his gracious help,

19 Delivering them from death, keeping them alive in times of famine.

1 Peter
Chapter 2

4 Come to him, a living stone, ¹ rejected by human beings but chosen and precious in the sight of God,

5 and, like living stones, let yourselves be built ² into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

6 For it says in scripture: "Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a cornerstone, chosen and precious, and whoever believes in it shall not be put to shame."

7 Therefore, its value is for you who have faith, but for those without faith: "The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,"

8 and "A stone that will make people stumble, and a rock that will make them fall." They stumble by disobeying the word, as is their destiny.

9 But you are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises" of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

John
Chapter 14

1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.

2 In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.

4 Where (I) am going you know the way." ⁴

5 Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth ⁵ and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

7 If you know me, then you will also know my Father. ⁶ From now on you do know him and have seen him."

8 Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father, ⁷ and that will be enough for us."

9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.

12 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.

Acts
Chapter 13

44 On the following sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.

45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said.

46 Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. ¹

47 For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.'"

48 The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. All who were destined for eternal life came to believe,

49 and the word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region.

50 The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their territory.

51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. ²

52 The disciples were filled with joy and the holy Spirit.

Psalms
Chapter 98

1 A psalm. ² Sing a new song to the LORD, who has done marvelous deeds, Whose right hand and holy arm have won the victory.

2 The LORD has made his victory known; has revealed his triumph for the nations to see,

3 Has remembered faithful love toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.

4 Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth; break into song; sing praise.

9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.

12 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.

13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.

26 "My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those others among you who are God-fearing, to us this word of salvation has been sent.

27 The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize him, and by condemning him they fulfilled the oracles of the prophets that are read sabbath after sabbath.

28 For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him put to death,

29 and when they had accomplished all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.

30 But God raised him from the dead,

31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are (now) his witnesses before the people. ¹

32 We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you that what God promised our ancestors

33 he has brought to fulfillment for us, (their) children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you.'

Psalms
Chapter 2

6 "I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD, who said to me, "You are my son; today I am your father.

8 Only ask it of me, and I will make your inheritance the nations, your possession the ends of the earth.

9 With an iron rod you shall shepherd them, like a clay pot you will shatter them."

10 And now, kings, give heed; take warning, rulers on earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear; with trembling bow down in homage, Lest God be angry and you perish from the way in a sudden blaze of anger. Happy are all who take refuge in God!

Chapter 13

13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions set sail and arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

14 They continued on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the sabbath they entered (into) the synagogue and took their seats.

15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue officials sent word to them, "My brothers, if one of you has a word of exhortation for the people, please speak."

16 So Paul got up, motioned with his hand, and said, "Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, ² listen.

17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it

18 and for about forty years he put up with ³ them in the desert.

19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance

20 at the end of about four hundred and fifty years. ⁴ After these things he provided judges up to Samuel (the) prophet.

21 Then they asked for a king. God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

22 Then he removed him and raised up David as their king; of him he testified, 'I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.'

23 From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.

24 John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel;

25 and as John was completing his course, he would say, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'

25 After Barnabas and Saul completed their relief mission, they returned to Jerusalem, ¹ taking with them John, who is called Mark.

Chapter 13

1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

3 Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off.

4 So they, sent forth by the holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus.

5 When they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had John ⁴ also as their assistant.

44 Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me,

45 and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.

46 I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.

47 And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world.

48 Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day,

49 because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told me."

Chapter 11

19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that arose because of Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but Jews.

20 There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however, who came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the Lord Jesus.

21 The hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.

22 The news about them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas (to go) to Antioch.

23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,

24 for he was a good man, filled with the holy Spirit and faith. And a large number of people was added to the Lord.

25 Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,

26 and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians. ²

Psalms
Chapter 87

1 A psalm of the Korahites. A song. The LORD loves the city founded on holy mountains,

2 Loves the gates of Zion more than any dwelling in Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you, O city of God! Selah

4 From Babylon and Egypt I count those who acknowledge the LORD. Philistia, Ethiopia, Tyre, of them it can be said: "This one was born there."

5 But of Zion it must be said: "They all were born here." The Most High confirms this;

6 the Lord notes in the register of the peoples: "This one was born here." Selah

7 So all sing in their festive dance: "Within you is my true home."

John
Chapter 10

22 The feast of the Dedication ¹ was then taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter.

23 And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.

24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? ³ If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."

25 Jesus answered them, "I told you ⁴ and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify to me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep.

27 My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, ⁵ and no one can take them out of the Father's hand.

30 The Father and I are one."

Acts
Chapter 11

1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God.

2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him,

3 saying, "You entered ² the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them."

4 Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying,

5 "I was at prayer in the city of Joppa when in a trance I had a vision, something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came to me.

6 Looking intently into it, I observed and saw the four-legged animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.

7 I also heard a voice say to me, 'Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.'

8 But I said, 'Certainly not, sir, because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'

9 But a second time a voice from heaven answered, 'What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.'

10 This happened three times, and then everything was drawn up again into the sky.

11 Just then three men appeared at the house where we were, who had been sent to me from Caesarea.

12 The Spirit told me to accompany them without discriminating. These six brothers ³ also went with me, and we entered the man's house.

13 He related to us how he had seen (the) angel standing in his house, saying, 'Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,

14 who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.'

15 As I began to speak, the holy Spirit fell upon them as it had upon us at the beginning,

16 and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, 'John baptized with water but you will be baptized with the holy Spirit.'

17 If then God gave them the same gift he gave to us when we came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?"

18 When they heard this, they stopped objecting and glorified God, saying, "God has then granted life-giving repentance to the Gentiles too."

Psalms
Chapter 42

1 For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites.

2 As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.

Chapter 43

3 Send your light and fidelity, that they may be my guide And bring me to your holy mountain, to the place of your dwelling,

4 That I may come to the altar of God, to God, my joy, my delight. Then I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.

John
Chapter 10

11 I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them.

13 This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,

15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep.

16 I have other sheep ¹ that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.

17 This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.

18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. ² This command I have received from my Father."

I Corinthians 7-8

Acts
Chapter 2

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, "You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem. Let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

36 Therefore let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?"

38 Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, ² every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit.

39 For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call."

40 He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."

41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day.

Psalms
Chapter 23

1 A psalm of David. ² The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.

2 In green pastures you let me graze; to safe waters you lead me;

3 you restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name.

4 Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are at my side; your rod and staff give me courage.

5 You set a table before me as my enemies watch; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come.

1 Peter
Chapter 2

20 But what credit is there if you are patient when beaten for doing wrong? But if you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, this is a grace before God.

21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered ¹ for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps.

22 "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." ²

23 When he was insulted, he returned no insult; when he suffered, he did not threaten; instead, he handed himself over to the one who judges justly.

24 He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

25 For you had gone astray like sheep, but you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls. ³

John
Chapter 10

1 "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.

2 But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice.

5 But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers."

6 Although Jesus used this figure of speech, ⁴ they did not realize what he was trying to tell them.

7 So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.

8 All who came [before me] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

9 I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture.

10 A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.

Acts
Chapter 9

31 The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace. It was being built up an walked in the fear of the Lord, and with the consolation of the holy Spirit it grew in numbers.

32 As Peter was passing through every region, he went down to the holy ones living in Lydda.

33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been confined to bed for eight years, for he was paralyzed.

34 Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." He got up at once.

35 And all the inhabitants of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

36 Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated means Dorcas). ² She was completely occupied with good deeds and almsgiving.

37 Now during those days she fell sick and died, so after washing her, they laid (her) out in a room upstairs.

38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, "Please come to us without delay."

39 So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs where all the widows came to him weeping and showing him the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them.

40 Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to her body and said "Tabitha, rise up." She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up.

41 He gave her his hand and raised her up, and when he had called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive.

42 This became known all over Joppa, and many came to believe in the Lord.

Psalms
Chapter 116

12 How can I repay the LORD for all the good done for me?

13 I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

15 Too costly in the eyes of the LORD is the death of his faithful.

16 LORD, I am your servant, your servant, the child of your maidservant; you have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

John
Chapter 6

60 Then many of his disciples who were listening said, "This saying is hard; who can accept it?"

61 Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, "Does this shock you?

62 What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? ²

63 It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh ³ is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

64 But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.

65 And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father."

66 As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.

67 Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave?"

68 Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

69 We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God."

Acts
Chapter 9

1 Now Saul, still breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, that, if he should find any men or women who belonged to the Way, ² he might bring them back to Jerusalem in chains.

3 On his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him.

4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"

5 He said, "Who are you, sir?" The reply came, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

6 Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do."

7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, for they heard the voice but could see no one.

8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing; ³ so they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus.

9 For three days he was unable to see, and he neither ate nor drank.

10 There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." He answered, "Here I am, Lord."

11 The Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight and ask at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is there praying,

12 and (in a vision) he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay (his) hands on him, that he may regain his sight."

13 But Ananias replied, "Lord, I have heard from many sources about this man, what evil things he has done to your holy ones ⁴ in Jerusalem.

14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison all who call upon your name."

15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for this man is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before Gentiles, kings, and Israelites,

16 and I will show him what he will have to suffer for my name."

17 So Ananias went and entered the house; laying his hands on him, he said, "Saul, my brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus who appeared to you on the way by which you came, that you may regain your sight and be filled with the holy Spirit."

18 Immediately things like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. He got up and was baptized,

19 and when he had eaten, he recovered his strength. ⁵ He stayed some days with the disciples in Damascus,

20 and he began at once to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. ⁶

Chapter 6

52 The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?"

53 Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.

54 Whoever eats ¹ my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.

55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.

57 Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.

58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever."

59 These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Acts
Chapter 8

26 Then the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, "Get up and head south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert route."

27 So he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, ² that is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,

28 and was returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

29 The Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."

30 Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

31 He replied, "How can I, unless someone instructs me?" So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him.

32 This was the scripture passage he was reading: "Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opened not his mouth.

33 In (his) humiliation justice was denied him. Who will tell of his posterity? For his life is taken from the earth."

34 Then the eunuch said to Philip in reply, "I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?"

35 Then Philip opened his mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed Jesus to him.

36 As they traveled along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, there is water. What is to prevent my being baptized?"

37 "And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may.' And he said in reply, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' "

38 Then he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and he baptized him.

39 When they came out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing.

40 Philip came to Azotus, and went about proclaiming the good news to all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

John
Chapter 6

44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets: 'They shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.

46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

47 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.

48 I am the bread of life.

49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;

50 this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.

51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."

2 Devout men buried Stephen and made a loud lament over him.

3 Saul, meanwhile, was trying to destroy the church; ³ entering house after house and dragging out men and women, he handed them over for imprisonment.

4 Now those who had been scattered went about preaching the word.

5 Thus Philip went down to (the) city of Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah to them.

6 With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing.

7 For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice, came out of many possessed people, and many paralyzed and crippled people were cured.

8 There was great joy in that city.

36 But I told you that although you have seen (me), you do not believe.

37 Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,

38 because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

39 And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave

me, but that I should raise it (on) the last day.

40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him (on) the last day."

53 You received the law as transmitted by angels, but you did not observe it."

54 When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth at him.

55 But he, filled with the holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, ¹

56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

57 But they cried out in a loud voice, covered their ears, ² and rushed upon him together.

58 They threw him out of the city, and began to stone him. The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.

59 As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." ³

60 Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them"; and when he said this, he fell asleep.

32 So Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

9 Certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen, Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and people from Cilicia and Asia, came forward and debated with Stephen,

10 but they could not withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.

11 Then they instigated some men to say, "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God."

12 They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, accosted him, seized him, and brought him before the Sanhedrin.

13 They presented false witnesses ² who testified, "This man never stops saying things against (this) holy place and the law.

14 For we have heard him claim that this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us."

15 All those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

22 The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat, but only his disciples had left.

23 Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks.

24 When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

25 And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

26 Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled.

27 Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, ³ which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal."

28 So they said to him, "What can we do to accomplish the works of God?"

29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent."

Chapter 21

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

16 He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus) said to him, "Feed my sheep.

18 Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."

19 He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."

Acts
Chapter 5

34 But a Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the men to be put outside for a short time,

35 and said to them, "Fellow Israelites, be careful what you are about to do to these men.

36 Some time ago, Theudas appeared, claiming to be someone important, and about four hundred men joined him, but he was killed, and all those who were loyal to him were disbanded and came to nothing.

37 After him came Judas the Galilean at the time of the census. He also drew people after him, but he too perished and all who were loyal to him were scattered.

38 So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself.

39 But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God." They were persuaded by him.

40 After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.

41 So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.

42 And all day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus.

13 But I believe I shall enjoy the LORD'S goodness in the land of the living.

14 Wait for the LORD, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the LORD!

2 A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick.

3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.

4 The Jewish feast of Passover was near.

5 When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?"

6 He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do.

7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred days' wages ⁵ worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little (bit)."

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,

9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves ⁶ and two fish; but what good are these for so many?"

10 Jesus said, "Have the people recline." Now there was a great deal of grass ⁷ in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.

11 Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted.

12 When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted."

13 So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets ⁸ with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat.

14 When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, ⁹ the one who is to come into the world."

15 Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone.

Acts
Chapter 5

27 When they had brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, the high priest questioned them,

28 "We gave you strict orders (did we not?) to stop teaching in that name. Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and want to bring this man's blood upon us."

29 But Peter and the apostles said in reply, "We must obey God rather than men.

30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.

31 God exalted him at his right hand ² as leader and savior to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.

32 We are witnesses of these things, as is the holy Spirit that God has given to those who obey him."

33 When they heard this, they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death.

Psalms
Chapter 34

1 Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who forced him to depart.

8 The angel of the LORD, who encamps with them, delivers all who fear God.

16 The LORD has eyes for the just and ears for their cry.

17 The LORD'S face is against evildoers to wipe out their memory from the earth.

18 When the just cry out, the LORD hears and rescues them from all distress.

19 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.

John
Chapter 3

31 The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven (is above all).

32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.

33 Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.

34 For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift ² of the Spirit.

35 The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him.

36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.

Acts
Chapter 5

17 Then the high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy,

18 laid hands upon the apostles and put them in the public jail.

19 But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said,

20 "Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life."

21 When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught. When the high priest and his companions arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin, the full senate of the Israelites, and sent to the jail to have them brought in.

22 But the court officers who went did not find them in the prison, so they came back and reported,

23 "We found the jail securely locked and the guards stationed outside the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."

24 When they heard this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss about them, as to what this would come to.

25 Then someone came in and reported to them, "The men whom you put in prison are in the temple area and are teaching the people."

26 Then the captain and the court officers went and brought them in, but without force, because they were afraid of being stoned by the people.

Psalms
Chapter 34

1 Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who forced him to depart.

2 I will bless the LORD at all times; praise shall be always in my mouth.

3 My soul will glory in the LORD that the poor may hear and be glad.

4 Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.

5 I sought the LORD, who answered me, delivered me from all my fears.

6 Look to God that you may be radiant with joy and your faces may not blush for shame.

7 In my misfortune I called, the LORD heard and saved me from all distress.

8 The angel of the LORD, who encamps with them, delivers all who fear God.

John
Chapter 3

16 For God so loved the world that he gave ¹ his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn ² the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

18 Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

19 And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil.

20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed.

21 But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.

Acts
Chapter 4

32 The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common.

33 With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all.

34 There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale,

35 and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need.

36 Thus Joseph, also named by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated "son of encouragement"), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth,

37 sold a piece of property that he owned, then brought the money and put it at the feet of the apostles.

Psalms
Chapter 93

1 The LORD is king, robed with majesty; the LORD is robed, girded with might. The world will surely stand in place, never to be moved.

2 Your throne stands firm from of old; you are from everlasting, LORD.

5 Your decrees are firmly established; holiness belongs to your house, LORD, for all the length of days.

John
Chapter 3

7 Do not be amazed that I told you, 'You must be born from above.'

8 The wind ¹ blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How can this happen?"

10 Jesus answered and said to him, "You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this?

11 Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony.

12 If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

13 No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man.

14 And just as Moses lifted up ² the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

15 so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."
