Luke 18:34

A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.

But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,

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.

Don’t you yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

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

Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

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

For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.

I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,

to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favor of Yahweh our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in your truth.

Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand; but those who are wise will understand.

He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.

Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”

He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,

They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.

They remembered his words,

They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”

Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

“To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:

Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh?

They said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”

When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me something like the appearance of a man.

One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be to the end of these wonders?”

I heard, but I didn’t understand. Then I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”

I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?

How is it that you don’t perceive that I didn’t speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”

for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened?

But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”

“Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”

Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.

You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?

These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.

He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.

What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.
