“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”(which means “God with us”).
Matthew 1:23
Month: July 2016
“Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
Matthew 10:40-42
Tell them that this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Cursed is the one who does not obey the terms of this covenant the terms I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the iron-smelting furnace.’ I said, ‘Obey me and do everything I command you, and you will be my people, and I will be your God. Then I will fulfill the oath I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey’—the land you possess today.”
Jeremiah 11:3-5
He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
Mark 5:7-13
They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
Luke 24:37-39
Jesus looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored.
Luke 6:10
1:1 All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever.
1:2 Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?
1:3 Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom?
1:4 Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.
1:5 The word of God most high is the fountain of wisdom; and her ways are everlasting commandments.
1:6 To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? or who hath known her wise counsels?
1:7 [Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made manifest? and who hath understood her great experience?]
1:8 There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne.
1:9 He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and poured her out upon all his works.
1:10 She is with all flesh according to his gift, and he hath given her to them that love him.
1:11 The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, and a crown of rejoicing.
1:12 The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life.
1:13 Whoso feareth the Lord, it shall go well with him at the last, and he shall find favour in the day of his death.
1:14 To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb.
1:15 She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and she shall continue with their seed.
1:16 To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men with her fruits.
Sirach 1:1-16
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew 6:9-14
When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
John 6:16-21
