Mark 1 (Reading through the Bible)

 

 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make HIS paths straight.

4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 

7 And preached, saying, There cometh ONE mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but HE shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

(All works of God are done through us by the Holy Spirit. The flesh of the human profits nothing. You can think it a good thing you are doing only to be turned away at judgment by Jesus. (Matthew 7)
Only those works authored by God are good. And it is through the Holy Spirit we know the works of God.)

Mark 1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon HIM:

11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art MY beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

12 And immediately the spirit driveth HIM into the wilderness.

13 And HE was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto HIM.

14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

16 Now as HE walked by the sea of Galilee, HE saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after ME, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed HIM.

19 And when HE had gone a little farther thence, HE saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

20 And straightway HE called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after HIM.

21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day HE entered into the synagogue, and taught.

22 And they were astonished at HIS doctrine: for HE taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth HE even the unclean spirits, and they do obey HIM.

(The Word does drive unclean spirits away from us when we receive the Word and go in the way of the Word.)

28 And immediately HIS fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell HIM of her.

(This was Peter's mother-in-law who was sick. Yes, the apostle Peter was married, and Peter even had children because Peter said he was an elder as well as an apostle, and to be an elder you have to have children, having your house under control. Titus 1)


Mark 1:31 And HE came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto HIM all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

34 And HE healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew HIM.

35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, HE went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

36 And Simon and they that were with HIM followed after HIM.

37 And when they had found HIM, they said unto HIM, All men seek for Thee.

38 And HE said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

39 And HE preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

40 And there came a leper to HIM, beseeching HIM, and kneeling down to HIM, and saying unto HIM, If Thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth HIS hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 

42 And as soon as HE had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And HE straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to HIM from every quarter.

💥 The end-time falling away: Antichrist in the end time NT church

The apostle Paul says:

 

2 Thessalonians 2

 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

 

I was reading this scripture in 1982, and God said to me:  "The falling away is not people leaving the church group ... The end time falling away are the church groups falling away from scripture of the Holy Bible and setting up other doctrine in the church group."

 

This is the apostasy of the end times.

Matthew 28 (Reading through the Bible)

 

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

² And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 

 

³ His (the angel's) countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 

 

⁴ And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 

 

⁵ And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 

 

⁶ HE is not here: for HE is risen, as He said.

 

Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

⁷ And go quickly, and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him: lo, I have told you.

⁸ And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring His disciples word.

⁹ And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held Him by the feet, and worshipped Him.

¹⁰ Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see ME.

¹¹ Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

¹² And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,¹³ Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole Him away while we slept.

¹⁴ And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

¹⁷ And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted.

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.

¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

💥 What God says in the Bible about divorce and remarriage for men and for women.

Matthew 5:32  Jesus says:

 

But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 

 

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

A man in our church group filed divorce papers against his wife.  

 

When I heard this, I called him and asked: "Was your wife unfaithful."

 

After a brief pause, he answered, "No." 

 

I said:  According to the Bible (Mt. 5:32) the only scriptural reason for a man to divorce his was is if she is having sex with another man.

 

Apparently he read Mt. 5:32 ... for he withdrew the divorce from the US courts.

I Corinthians 7:10-11  Paul says:  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

 

I Corinthians 7:39  The wife is bound by the law  (law of God not the OT law of Moses) as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 

 

Romans 7:2-3  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

 

Matthew 5:32 ...  Makes it clear that the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery ... Jesus says:  and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 

 

(Most NT churches today have changed this doctrine and no longer teach what the Bible says about divorce and remarriage.  This is antichrist to change a doctrine from the Bible.)

Matthew 27 (Reading through the BIble)

When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death:

² And when they had bound Him, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

³ Then Judas, which had betrayed Him, when He saw that He was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.

And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

⁵ And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

⁶ And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

⁷ And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

⁸ Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
¹⁰ And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

*****

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked Him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?

And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

¹² And when He was accused of the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.

¹³ Then said Pilate unto Him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹⁴ And He answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered Him.

¹⁹ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of Him.

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹ The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you?

They said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?

They all say unto him, Let Him be crucified.

²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath He done?

But they cried out the more, saying, Let Him be crucified.

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto Him the whole band of soldiers.

²⁸ And they stripped Him, and put on Him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head, and a reed in His right hand: and they bowed the knee before Him, and mocked Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

³⁰ And they spit upon Him, and took the reed, and smote Him on the head.

³¹ And after that they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him, and put His own raiment on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear His cross.

³³ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
³⁴ They gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink.

³⁵ And they crucified Him, and parted His garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted My garments among them, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.

³⁶ And sitting down they watched Him there;

³⁷ And set up over His head His accusation written, This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews.

³⁸ Then were there two thieves crucified with Him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

³⁹ And they that passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads,  ⁴⁰ And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save Thyself.  If Thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He be the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him: for He said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ The thieves also, which were crucified with Him, cast the same in His teeth.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?

⁴⁷ Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave Him to drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save Him.

⁵⁰ Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

⁵¹ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

⁵² And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

⁵³ And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto Him: ⁵⁶ Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

*****

⁵⁷ When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also Himself was Jesus' disciple: ⁵⁸ He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

⁵⁹ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

*****

⁶² Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, ⁶³ Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. ⁶⁴ Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night, and steal Him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

⁶⁵ Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

⁶⁶ So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

💥 What the Bible says about homosexuals and lesbians.

 

Romans 1

 

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

 

By Romans 1, we see God turned them over to the lust of their own hearts.  God calls homosexual/lesbian "vile affections."

 

They can be saved if they acknowledge the evil by seeing the Word of God, Romans 1, and by repenting and not doing homosexual or lesbian acts again.

Matthew 26 (Reading through the Bible)

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, He said unto His disciples,

² Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

***

³ Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

⁴ And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill Him.

⁵ But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

***

⁶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
⁷ There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head, as He sat at meat.

⁸ But when His disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
⁹ For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

¹⁰ When Jesus understood it, He said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon Me.
¹¹ For ye have the poor always with you; but Me ye have not always.
¹² For in that she hath poured this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.
¹³ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

***

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
¹⁵ And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

***

¹⁷ Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto Him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

¹⁸ And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with My disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

***

²⁰ Now when the even was come, He sat down with the twelve.
²¹ And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me.

²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

²³ And He answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

²⁴ The Son of man goeth as it is written of Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

²⁵ Then Judas, which betrayed Him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

***

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body.

²⁷ And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

²⁸ For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

²⁹ But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.

³⁰ And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

³¹ Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of Me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

³² But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³ Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

³⁴ Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice.

³⁵ Peter said unto Him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.


³⁶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

³⁷ And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

³⁸ Then saith He unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with Me.

³⁹ And He went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as THOU wilt.

⁴⁰ And He cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with Me one hour?

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁴² He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Thy will be done.

⁴³ And He came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁵ Then cometh He to His disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray ME.

⁴⁷ And while He yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁸ Now he that betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is He: hold Him fast.

⁴⁹ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed Him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come?

Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.

⁵¹ And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.  (This was Peter who drew the sword.  See John 18:10)

⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My Father, and HE shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels?
⁵⁴ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

***

⁵⁵ In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take Me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on Me.
⁵⁶ But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.

Then all the disciples forsook Him, and fled.

⁵⁷ And they that had laid hold on Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

⁵⁸ But Peter followed Him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put Him to death;
⁶⁰ But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none.

At the last came two false witnesses,
⁶¹ And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

⁶² And the high priest arose, and said unto Him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

⁶³ But Jesus held His peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard His blasphemy.

⁶⁶ What think ye?

They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

⁶⁷ Then did they spit in His face, and buffeted Him; and others smote Him with the palms of their hands,
⁶⁸ Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

***

⁶⁹ Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

⁷¹ And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

⁷³ And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man.

And immediately the cock crew.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice.

And he went out, and wept bitterly.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Matthew 25 (Reading through the Bible)

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

² And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

³ They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

(What good is it to take a lamp that will not give light?)

⁴ But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

⁶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

⁸ And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

⁹ But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

¹¹ Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

¹² But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

¹³ Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

¹⁴ For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

¹⁵ And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

¹⁶ Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

(Use that which is given you.)

¹⁷ And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

¹⁸ But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

¹⁹ After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

²⁰ And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

²¹ His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

²² He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

²³ His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

²⁴ Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
²⁵ And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

(We are often afraid to share that which God has given us.  Share that which is brought to your mind by the Holy Spirit. For by sharing, if what you have received is really of God, you will multiply that talent you have been given by sharing, showing yourself a good servant of God.)

²⁶ His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

²⁷ Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

²⁸ Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

²⁹ For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

³⁰ And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

³¹ When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory:

³² And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

³³ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

³⁴ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

³⁵ For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
³⁶ Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.


³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
³⁸ When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
³⁹ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

(Share WORD given you by God as the Holy Spirit brings it to your mind when you are with another person..  Multiply the talent God has given you by sharing Word of God with others.)

⁴¹ Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
⁴² For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
⁴³ I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
⁴⁴ Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
⁴⁵ Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.

⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Podcast: Try the spirit to see if the thought brought by that spirit is from God

 

 

 

I John 4  (John says)

 

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh 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 that is in you, than he that is in the world.
