John 3:2

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”

The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;

Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”

The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.

then Zedekiah the king sent, and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from Yahweh?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”

Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know,

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

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.

Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?

For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

And behold there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” that they might accuse him.

But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.

He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”

There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.

Many believed in him there.

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father?’

Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”

Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out, and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”

Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

For there is no partiality with God.

You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.

So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As Yahweh lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”

You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren’t partial to anyone.

Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”

This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”

So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” There was division among them.

But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Yahweh had spoken to him. Because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, he could not do it by day, but he did it by night.

The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.

“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.

As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’

As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”

They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.

But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,

Nevertheless even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
