Mark 9:19

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

He who sees me sees him who sent me.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

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

who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.

I and the Father are one.”

If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen 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.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, ‘because you have brought no bread?’

See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

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

The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’ ”

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.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.

when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth?

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.

I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you will be mute, and will not be able to correct them; for they are a rebellious house.

He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

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

With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

“For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.

Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

Moses said, “Now Yahweh will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.”

“I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God.’ ”

“ ‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. How much more after my death?

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

Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who didn’t believe in Yahweh their God.

Why do you hide your face, and consider me your enemy?

You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.

For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

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.

“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.

This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, will even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.

When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and was mute.

When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

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

When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”

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.

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.”

and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.

When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

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?’

Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”

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

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.

Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

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?

because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;

“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that complain against me? I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel, which they complain against me.

He said, “I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end will be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.

because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.

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 sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”

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.

Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

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

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But I came to this time for this cause.

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

But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

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.
