John 7:46

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.

Then Yahweh stretched out his hand, and touched my mouth. Then Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.

and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

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.”

Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”

When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”

I rise before dawn and cry for help. I put my hope in your words.

Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’ ”

Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it commended me:

Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.

When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

behold, I have done according to your word. Behold, I have given you a wise and understanding heart; so that there has been no one like you before you, and after you none will arise like you.

Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.

His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

“Isn’t my word like fire?” says Yahweh; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

Many believed in him there.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.

They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.

For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.

You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

Many more believed because of his word.

They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
