He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
Most assuredly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!"
"Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can't fast.

"I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.

He asked the scribes, "What are you asking them?"
They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"

Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rhabboni,{Rhabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for "great teacher."} that I may see again."
Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
The baptism of John -- was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me."
Jesus answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." They marveled greatly at him.
As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.
He said to them, "Don't be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him!

Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.'
She brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn't know it,
It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.
When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."

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."
When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.
The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don't know.
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.'

Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?"
He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ{"Messiah" (Hebrew) and "Christ" (Greek) both mean "Anointed One".}).

In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him."
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together
while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."
From this man's seed, God has brought salvation{TR, NU read "a Savior, Jesus" instead of "salvation"} to Israel according to his promise,
But God raised him from the dead,
that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your father.'
Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
Be it known to you therefore, brothers{The word for "brothers" here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins,
But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus,{TR adds "Christ"} just as they are."
They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
"I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' "He said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
Now I say that Christ has been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.
yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
Yes most assuredly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.
For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.
Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.
For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, According to the order of Melchizedek."
By so much has Jesus become the collateral of a better covenant.
Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.
For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.
Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
and having a great priest over the house of God,
looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,
who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."
who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we 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.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood;
and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
