And some people brought to him a paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. · When Jesus saw · · their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take courage, my son; your sins are forgiven.” ·

· And when Jesus turned and saw her, he said, “Take courage, my daughter; · your faith has made you well.” And the woman was healed from · that hour.

But right away Jesus spoke · to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I! Do not be afraid.”

for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke with them and said to them, “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!”

And Jesus stopped · and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage! Get up! He is calling you.”

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage, I have conquered the world.”

The · following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so must you also testify in Rome.”

And · now I advise you to be of good courage; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

So be of good courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will be so, just as it has been told me.

And the brothers there, when they heard · about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, · Paul gave thanks to God and took courage.

Stay on guard, continue to stand firm in the faith, be men of courage, grow in strength.

Finally, brothers, rejoice, strive for maturity, take courage, · be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

We had previously suffered and been shamefully treated in Philippi, as you know, but we had the courage in · our God to declare to you the gospel of God in spite of great opposition.
