* Meditating in the Word of God: (Using screen prints)

Joan Boney ... apostle and prophet of Jesus Christ 

according to Ephesians 4:11-12 .

*****

By the Holy Spirit of Jesus, scriptures are called to my mind from time to time and I copy these scriptures on "screen prints" on my Kindle tablet and put them in my Kindle photos so I can look at these new sections of scripture each morning and again as I go to bed.

***

How to make screen prints on Kindle tablet:

It is very easy to do this:

1.  Pull up Bible page on your tablet.

2.  Press and hold down two buttons at same time on top of your tablet.  The Bible page will become visible in smaller form for a second on your tablet screen and then it will quickly be transferred to your photo album.

Press the bar that lowers volume (the left-most bar) & the On/Off bar (on right side) at the same time.

This automatically makes a photo of the Bible page and the picture of that page of scripture will appear on your tablet photo album.

***

Here are examples of the way the screen prints look after being transferred to Kindle tablet photos.

*****

When we meditate on scriptures day and night, "to observe to do" those scriptures, we develop the power through the Holy Spirit to live in those scriptures throughout our days on this present earth.

Joshua 1:8   This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

*****

Psalm 51: 10-12

*****

Romans 12:19;21

*****

Hebrews 11:13-16

The people of this world become so upset and protest over things they see happening, but we know this is all temporary and we are just passing through this life, it is not our final inheritance, so we do not become as upset as the worldly people do concerning who is elected to governments of men or those things where they protest happenings of this world.  We see our inheritance as that new place which God has prepared for us and our goal is to go in ways which make us ready whereby we inherit from God in the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness for this present heaven and earth will be destroyed at the end.  And we know God will judge the unrighteousness that we see on this present earth.  It is the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.  II Peter 3  This present earth will never be righteous.  We who are born again are righteous but most people are fleshly.  And it will even get worse as the end approaches.  Paul says:  II Timothy 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

*****

II Peter 3:10-14 

 

 

Therefore we work daily to keep ourselves in peace through prayer and without spot and blameless, for we do not know the exact day nor time of Jesus' return and we want to be found by HIM at that time "in peace, without spot, and blameless."

*****

Acts 1:4-8

The Holy Spirit brings to our mind that which we are to say and this is "the power" to witness to others.

Hymn: Hallelujah! Sing to Jesus

 

(Click forward arrow > to play music:)


1.  Hallelujah! sing to Jesus,
His the scepter, His the throne;
Hallelujah! His the triumph,
His the victory alone.

Hark, the songs of His redeemed ones
Thunder like a mighty flood:
Jesus out of every nation
Hath redeemed us by His blood.

2.  Hallelujah! not as orphans
Are we left in sorrow now;
Hallelujah! He is in us,
Faith believes, nor questions how.

Though the clouds from sight received Him
When the forty days were o’er,
Shall our hearts forget His promise,
“I am with you evermore“?

3.  Hallelujah! Bread of heaven (The Word),
Thou on earth our food, our stay;
Hallelujah! here the hungry
Come to Thee from day to day.

Advocate and Intercessor,
My Redeemer pleads for me,
On the throne of the Almighty
Now and to eternity.

4.  Hallelujah! sing to Jesus,
His the scepter, His the throne;
Hallelujah! His the triumph,
His the victory alone.

Hark, the songs of His redeemed ones
Thunder like a mighty flood:
Jesus out of every nation,
Hath redeemed us by His blood.

Scripture pertaining to this hymn:

John 1:1-4   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 by HIM (The Word / Jesus); and without HIM was not any thing made that was made.

In HIM (The Word / Jesus) was life; and the life was the light of men.

(God created the heavens and earth and all things through THE WORD ... And THE WORD rules ... yet the WORD is subject to God the Father.)

***

Concerning the blood of Jesus ... God gave me a very strong revelation as follows:  

Hebrews 9:12   ... by HIS own blood HE entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us ... v. 22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

I have shed none of my own blood to pay for my sins.  Jesus did shed HIS own blood to pay for my sins.  My sins can never be paid for by my works, by trying to make up for what I did wrong.  Only through entering into belief in Jesus' blood can I be saved from my sins.

***

We are heirs with Christ through Jesus' blood.

Romans 8:11-17    But if the Spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. 

***

John 6:35   (Jesus said)    I am the bread of life: he that cometh to ME shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME shall never thirst.

Jesus, THE WORD, is the bread we, who are children of God, eat and drink.

The Lord's supper is THE WORD which we live by.  We eat and drink THE WORD continually as we live on this earth.

THE WORD (Jesus) is flesh and blood to us.

John 6:48-51    Jesus says:   I am that bread of life. 

(Jesus, THE WORD, is our bread.)

Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is MY flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

(THE WORD comes down from heaven to us today and comes into our minds by His Spirit speaking ...  THE WORD is living bread, for that word delivered to us today comes from God, The Father, through HIS Spirit who lives in us ... HE speaks to us through Jesus' Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and shows us the way to go as we live on this earth today ... God does this by bringing HIS thoughts to our minds by HIS Spirit.  John 14:26 & John 16:13)

***

John 6:53-58   Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.

(Life is in The Word of God ... and the way we eat and drink that WORD given us by God.)

Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I (dwell) in him.

As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.

This (The Word) is that bread which came down from heaven: 

***

Romans 8:34    ... It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

***

Philippians 4:13    I can do all things through Christ (the Word) which strengtheneth me.

Instruction in Righteousness: From Mark 12

 1 And He began to speak unto them by parables.

A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
² And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
³ And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

⁴ And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

⁶ Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

⁷ But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'
⁸ And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

⁹ What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

¹⁰ And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
¹¹ This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

¹² And they sought to lay hold on Him, but feared the people: for they knew that He had spoken the parable against them: and they left Him, and went their way.


¹³ And they send unto Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.  (They came with a bad heart.)

¹⁴ And when they were come, they say unto Him, Master, we know that Thou art true, and carest for no man: for Thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
¹⁵ Shall we give, or shall we not give?

But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye Me? bring Me a penny, that I may see it.

¹⁶ And they brought it.

And He saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

And they said unto Him, Caesar's.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.

And they marvelled at Him.


¹⁸ Then come unto Him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked Him, saying,  (They didn't come to learn from Jesus but to trick Jesus.)
¹⁹ Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
²⁰ Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
²¹ And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
²² And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
²³ In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

²⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

²⁵ For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

²⁶ And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.


²⁸ And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, Which is the first commandment of all?

²⁹ And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

³¹ And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

³² And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but HE:
³³ And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

³⁴ And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, He said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.

And no man after that durst ask Him any question.


³⁵ And Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
³⁶ For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
³⁷ David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son?

And the common people heard Him gladly.


³⁸ And He said unto them in His doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
³⁹ And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
⁴⁰ Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

⁴¹ And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
⁴² And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
⁴³ And He called unto Him His disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
⁴⁴ For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

* Taught by God.

Joan Boney ... apostle and prophet of Jesus Christ 

by the will of God 

according to Ephesians 4:11-12.

*****

Jesus says:

John 6

44  No man can come to ME (The Word), except the Father which hath sent me (The Word) draw him: and I (The Word) will raise him up at the last day.

45  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of (by) God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of (from) the Father, cometh unto ME (The Word).

God teaches us HIS truths.

Therefore the apostle John said:

I John 2

27 But the anointing which ye have received of HIM (of God by the Holy Spirit of Jesus) abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him (The Word).

God gives each of us who believe, HIS Spirit, the Holy Spirit of Jesus.

God teaches us by HIS Spirit.

John 14:26   But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

The Spirit of God searches the heart of God to reveal the will of God to us in the specific issues pertaining to this life.

I Corinthians 2  Paul says:

4  And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

The apostle Paul explains that which the Holy Spirit does:

13  Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

***

Many in churches today put themselves into the church by going forward and being baptized or by joining the church without having the Spirit of God.  So when we share spiritual things with these people, they blankly stare at us and do not have any real excitement over that Word of God which we share for they do not have the Spirit of God in them.

***

We who are born of the Spirit of God have the Spirit of God living in us to guide us and teach us and show us things to come.

Those without the Spirit of God are as dead people.

God gave me the following dream to show this:

Poison Gas Dream:  1979

Destruction was everywhere.  

(Meaning destruction was in all the churches.)

A man was speaking to a group of people.  I went in and began to listen.

Another man rushed in and said:  "Stop ... wait ... can't you see ... it's too late ... it's already begun."

The first man resumed speaking.  (No one in the room seemed to be interested in that which the second man said but I wanted to see what had "already begun", so I looked out the window.)

There was a tall pole with a yellow civil-defense type speaker on top of the pole.  A gas was coming out of the speaker.  I knew it was poisonous and this gas was coming directly toward those of us who were seated in that room!  I knew it would kill us.

The shocking thing was the speaker who was set there to warn us was the instrument being used to kill us.

I looked at the man who was seated next to me.  He had a big smile on his face and seemed to be very attentatively listening to the speaker.

But then I saw:  This man was dead.  He was a corpse.  I looked at the other people in the room and saw they were dead also.  And as I sat among them, listening to the man speaking, I felt sleepy and I knew the gas coming from the speaker was killing me also.

God was showing me antichrist in the churches.  It was everywhere.

***

If we are born of God we are taught by God and have God's Spirit living in us to guide us and teach us and show us things to come.

Hebrews 8

10  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:

11  And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.

When we belong to God, HE gives us HIS Spirit, and we are taught by God.

When I speak things of God, you recognize them as being from God, for God has put in your heart the same information.  Now you have it confirmed to you by what I say.  But I don't teach you.  You are taught these things by God and therefore you know truth.

And we are one Spirit because we are taught by one Spirit, the Spirit of God.

Antichrist comes among us for a season but he will leave us, often to set up his own followers, his own church group.

I John 2

18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Often we try to share things of God with relatives or church friends.  They do not get excited over that which God has taught us.  Usually they become very quiet and just wait until we stop talking so they can speak of something they enjoy of this world's wisdom.  They do not delight in the wisdom of God as we do.

We can speak with them once or twice but when they will not hear the scripture and allow that scripture to rule over their lives, we must leave them alone.

II Timothy 3

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

The religious people not taught by God run from church meeting to church meeting but they do not do the scriptures and they do not delight when we share revelations from God with them.

This shows us they do not have the Spirit of God in themselves.

For those who have the Spirit of God delight in that which God says and they conform their way to the information given by the Spirit of God.

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Those without the Spirit rejoice in their own wisdom, in the wisdom of men, of the intellect of men.

We cannot follow God with them.  It is like light trying to be friends with darkness.  The minute you, as light, turn on light, the darkness flees.  When the darkness surfaces, you, as light drive away that darkness by sharing things of God.  But you can't be in the same room at the same time for darkness and light cannot co-exist.

Titus 3

10  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

11  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

No phone calls with him.  No emails.  No birthday cards.  Don't put yourselves in to a position where you have to hear his many problems for he will entangle you in his problems.  He won't turn to God because he is not of God.  Therefore he will want to cast his cares on you and make you his god.  And he will be like pricks in your eyes and thrones in your sides and he will vex you continually with his words.

Walk away and live in the peace of God with other believers who come across your path.

***

II John

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

***

I John 4

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (and lives in the believer) is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (and lives in the believer) is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE (the Holy Spirit of God) that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

We must not keep trying to share things of God with them when they reject what we say for they show us they are not of God and they will not do things of God, having not the Spirit of God.

Matthew 7    Jesus says:

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Hymn: Great is THY faithfulness

 

(Click forward arrow > to play music:)


1.  Great is Thy faithfulness,
O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning 
  with Thee;

Thou changest not, 

Thy compassions, they fail not

As Thou hast been 
  Thou forever wilt be.

Chorus:

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see;

All I have needed Thy WORD hath provided— 

Great is Thy faithfulness, 
Lord, unto me! 


2.  Summer and winter, 
and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

3.  Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Scriptures pertaining to this hymn:

James 1:17    Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.


***

Genesis 8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

God set all things in the solar system and they are faithful to continue in the commandment of God.  We see the faithfulness of God's word day by day as the seasons continue and as the sun is visible day by day.

As God is faithful in this word, we can have faith God will perform every word HE has given us.

Instruction in Righteousness: From Mark 11

 1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, He sendeth forth two of His disciples,

² And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

³ And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

⁴ And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

⁵ And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

⁶ And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

⁷ And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and He sat upon him.
⁸ And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

⁹ And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying,

Hosanna; Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord:
¹⁰ Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

¹¹ And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when He had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, He went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

¹² And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, He was hungry:
¹³ And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, He came, if haply He might find any thing thereon: and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
¹⁴ And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.

And His disciples heard it.

¹⁵ And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
¹⁶ And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
¹⁷ And He taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

¹⁸ And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy Him: for they feared Him, because all the people was astonished at His doctrine.

¹⁹ And when even was come, He went out of the city.

²⁰ And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
²¹ And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto Him, Master, behold, the fig tree which Thou cursedst is withered away.

²² And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

²³ For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

²⁴ Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

²⁵ And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
²⁶ But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

²⁷ And they come again to Jerusalem: and as He was walking in the temple, there come to Him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
²⁸ And say unto Him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

²⁹ And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
³⁰ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer Me.

³¹ And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
³² But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
³³ And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell.

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
