She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’

The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

Judas to Betray Jesus

Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

The Crucifixion

As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to carry his cross.

Jesus Is Buried

When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach

He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);

James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder);

And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”

Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet

The Death of John the Baptist

King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”

Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us

John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.”

But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.

And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray.

And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

Birth of John the Baptist Foretold

In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

Birth of Jesus Foretold

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

And they said to her, “None of your relatives is called by this name.”

And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they all wondered.

And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

Jesus Calls Levi

After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.”

And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles:

Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

“Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!

Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.

And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus' feet, he implored him to come to his house,

and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”

Anyone Not Against Us Is For Us

John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.”

The Return of the Seventy-Two

The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Martha and Mary

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.

Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,

And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich.

saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them.

But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.

You will be hated by all for my name's sake.

Jesus Is Buried

Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,

On the Road to Emmaus

That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,

Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

Jesus Knows What Is in Man

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing.

You Must Be Born Again

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me,

So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”

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

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.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.

In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

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 have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

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.”

Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)

but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”

And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.

And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?”

let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well.

And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.”

So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

Ananias and Sapphira

But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,

saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us.”

But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while.

and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.

Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Simon the Magician Believes

But there was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great.

But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

for he had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying,

and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.”

And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”

But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.

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

And all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?”

But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

So he went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.

There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed.

Dorcas Restored to Life

Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity.

Peter and Cornelius

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius).

When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.

And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had completed their service, bringing with them John, whose other name was Mark.

When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus.

But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name.

that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things

men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Timothy Joins Paul and Silas

Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.

One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.

And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.

And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them,

And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue.

But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.”

Apollos Speaks Boldly in Ephesus

Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures.

On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.”

Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.

And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.

For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen.

And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

While we were staying for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

“I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Paul Sails for Rome

And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort named Julius.

Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.”

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

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.”

and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation,

To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

Divisions in the Church

I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name.

When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Warning Against Idleness

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.

Let all who are under a yoke as bondservants regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled.

But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”

having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

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

For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.

and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

Jesus Compared to Melchizedek

Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.”

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called?

As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.

And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

That You May Know

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.

For they have gone out for the sake of the name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, each by name.

I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary.

“‘I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

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.’

Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

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.

“‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

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.

And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.

They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.

The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

The First Beast

And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.

It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.

so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

The Lamb and the 144,000

Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.

And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”

And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.

Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.

And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.

And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.”

The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.

His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself.

He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.

On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed—

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
