Numbers 14:17

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

“Cry aloud! Don’t spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.

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.”

He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim Yahweh’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”

Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”

Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”

When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.

When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and Yahweh spoke with Moses.

Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.

Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.

For, behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.

Therefore I am full of Yahweh’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife will be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.

I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”

For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

“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,

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

But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”

My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

So they glorified God in me.

All of Mount Sinai smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed Yahweh’s name.

I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you don’t bear it yourself alone.

For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name. Ascribe greatness to our God!

that men may declare Yahweh’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

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.

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.

Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.

“Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;

“You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.

“You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.”

But as for me, I am full of power by Yahweh’s Spirit, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.

Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.

Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”

For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk?’

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins-” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”

But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”

Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—

James the son of Zebedee; and John, the brother of James, (whom he called Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder);

They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!”

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?

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.

The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” (he said to the paralyzed man), “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.”

He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.

Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;

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

Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;

They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.

Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
