20Behold, He struck the rock, So that the waters gushed out, And the streams overflowed. Can He give bread also? Can He provide meat for His people?|"
23Yet He had commanded the clouds above, And opened the doors of heaven,
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
31"If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
32There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
33You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.
35He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
36But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish--the very works that I do--bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.
37And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.
38But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
39You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
40But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
41"I do not receive honor from men.
42But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
43I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
44How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?
45Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust.
46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
7Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
18Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
47Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
51I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."
52The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"
53Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.
54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
56He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
57As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
58This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
13For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
15For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
18do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."
20Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
21For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.
22Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
23And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
26And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins."
28Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
31even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.
32For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.
33Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
34"For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?"
35"Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?"
36For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.
10He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.
11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
14Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
16If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.
17All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
18We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
19We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
20And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
2And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him,
3saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!"
4But Peter explained it to them in order from the beginning, saying:
5"I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me.
6When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.
7And I heard a voice saying to me, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'
8But I said, "Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.'
9But the voice answered me again from heaven, "What God has cleansed you must not call common.'
10Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
12Then the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.
13And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, "Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter,
14who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.'
15And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.
16Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, "John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
17If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"
18When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life."
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
9For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.
10Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
1Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.
2And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.
4I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.
5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.
7And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.
8Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"
9Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He is like him." He said, "I am he."
10Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?"
11He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, "Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight."
12Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."
13They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.
14Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
16Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.
17They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
18But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.
19And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself."
22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."
24So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner."
25He answered and said, "Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see."
26Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"
27He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?"
28Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
29We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from."
30The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!
31Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.
32Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.
33If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing."
34They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out.
35Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
36He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"
37And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."
38Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
