John 9:4

“Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”

Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

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.

A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

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.

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.

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

Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.

So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them;”

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says Yahweh of Armies.

“For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am just a little child. I don’t know how to go out or come in.

David the king said to all the assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for Yahweh God.

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.

If I say, I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.

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

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

The same came to him by night, and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”

But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

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

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.

Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

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.

About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’

Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

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.

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

for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?”

He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

“I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.

But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.

For he said to Judah, “Let’s build these cities, and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God. We have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.

For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,

“They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’

He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”

He said to the man who had his hand withered, “Stand up.”

But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”

But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.

Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’

They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
