And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”

And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.”

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order.

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’

So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’

and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’

And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went.

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’

He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’”

I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”

Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.”

Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.”

Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.”

and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’

And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.”

For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.”

For when Herodias's daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”

And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”

Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.”

Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.”

But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.

And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.”

“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’”

and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.

And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”

And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.

Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:

The Cost of Following Jesus

As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.”

And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’

Return of an Unclean Spirit

“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’

Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’

But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!

And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’

I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’”

He said to him, ‘I will condemn you with your own words, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?

Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

I will therefore punish and release him.”

A third time he said to them, “Why? What evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him.”

Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.

Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,

“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,

“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.

Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

I Have Overcome the World

“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.

In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;

I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;

and said to him, ‘Go out from your land and from your kindred and go into the land that I will show you.’

‘But I will judge the nation that they serve,’ said God, ‘and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.’

I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.’

You took up the tent of Moloch and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship; and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’

For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”

And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, “‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’

“‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,

And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus.

And he said to me, ‘Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’ ”

he said, “I will give you a hearing when your accusers arrive.” And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's praetorium.

Paul Kept in Custody

But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case.”

And as he reasoned about righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “Go away for the present. When I get an opportunity I will summon you.”

But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,

For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.”

For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”

But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry.”

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.”

For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed,

When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected, I will leave for Spain by way of you.

I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power.

Flee Sexual Immorality

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.

Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.

What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.

And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

Plans for Travel

I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia,

and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.

But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,

and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”

For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed.

And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

Paul's Visions and His Thorn

I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses—

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?

I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them—

What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.

To Live Is Christ

Yes, and I will rejoice,

as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self.

At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you.

For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?

saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”

And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”

saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.”

For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.”

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,”

then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’

Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’

Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,

and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.

The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations,

And I will give him the morning star.

Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.

The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you.

Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.

The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.

So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

The Throne in Heaven

After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

The Great Prostitute and the Beast

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters,

But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.

The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

The New Jerusalem

Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
