Bashans 2, 1744

49Remember the word to Your servant, Upon which You have caused me to hope.

50This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.

47Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.

48Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

49And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out;

50for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."

51Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

52For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.

33Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes, And I shall keep it to the end.

34Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

31Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.

32And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You."

33But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?"

34And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!

35For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother."

13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

14For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,

15having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,

16and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.

17And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.

18For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

8And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."

9Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

10As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

11If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

12Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

13but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

1After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia.

2Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece

3and stayed three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

4And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia--also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

5These men, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.

6But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
