If a person is
angry with you, give him a
gift in secret. A gift that is given in secret can
stop great anger.
Fair judgment
makes good people happy.
But it makes evil people very afraid.
If a person
leaves the way of wisdom,
then he is going toward destruction.

Proverbs 21:14-16 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend
a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; whereas you do not know what will
happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little
time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall
live and do this or that." James 4:13 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 13:14-20
"But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be
(let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
"And let him who is on the housetop not go down, or enter in, to get anything out
of his house; and let him who is in the field not turn back to get his cloak. But
woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babes in those days! But
pray that it may not happen in the winter.
"For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the
beginning of the creation which God created, until now, and never shall.

"And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but
for the sake of the elect whom He chose, He shortened the days." Mark 13:14-20 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:43-53
So there arose a division in the multitude because of Him (because of Jesus). And
some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to
them, "Why did you not bring Him?" The officers answered, "Never did a man speak
the way this man speaks."

The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You have not also been led astray, have
you? No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he? But this multitude
which does not know the Law is accursed."

Nicodemus said to them (he who came to Him before, being one of them), "Our Law
does not judge a man, unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing,
does it?" They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, are you?
Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee." And everyone went to his
home. John 7:43-53 (NAS)

Dead to Sin but Alive in Christ
6 1So do you think that we should continue sinning so that God will give us more
and more grace (kindness)? 2No! We died to (quit living) our old sinful lives. So
how can we continue living with sin? 3Did you forget that all of us became part
of Christ Jesus when we were baptized*? We shared his death in our baptism.* 4So
when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death. We were
buried with Christ so that we could [be raised up and] live a new life. This happened
the same as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. 5Christ
died, and we have been joined with Christ by dying too. So we will also be joined
with him by rising from death like Christ rose from death. 6We know that our old
life died with Christ on the cross. This happened so that our sinful selves would
have no power over us. And then we would not be slaves to sin. 7Any person that
has died is made free from sin's control (power). 8If we died with Christ, we know
that we will also live with him. 9Christ was raised from death. And we know that
he cannot die again. Death has no power over him now. 10Yes, when Christ died,
he died to [defeat the power of] sin one time--enough for all time. He now has a
new life, and his new life is with God. 11In the same way, you should see yourselves
as being dead to the power of sin. And see yourselves as being alive for God through
Christ Jesus. 12But don't let sin control you in your life here on earth. You must
not be ruled by the things your sinful self makes you want to do. 13Don't offer
the parts of your body to serve sin. Don't use your bodies as things to do evil
with. But you should offer yourselves to God. Be like people that have died and
now live. Offer the parts of your body to God to be used for doing good. 14Sin will
not be your master. Why? Because you are not under law. You now live under God's
grace (kindness).

Slaves of Righteousness
15So what should we do? Should we sin because we are under grace (kindness) and
not under law? No! 16Surely you know that when you give yourselves like slaves to
obey someone, then you are really slaves of that person. The person you obey is
your master. You can follow sin, or obey God. Sin brings spiritual death. But obeying
God makes you right with him. 17In the past you were slaves to sin--sin controlled
you. But thank God, you fully obeyed the things that were taught to you. 18You were
made free from sin. And now you are slaves to goodness (right living). 19I explain
this by using an example that people know. I explain it this way because it is hard
for you to understand. In the past you offered the parts of your body to be slaves
to sin and evil. You lived only for evil. In the same way now you must give yourselves
to be slaves of goodness. Then you will live only for God. 20In the past you were
slaves to sin, and goodness (right living) did not control you. 21You did evil things.
Now you are ashamed of those things. Did those things help you? No. Those things
only bring [spiritual] death. 22But now you are free from sin. You are now slaves
of God. And this brings you a life that is only for God. And from that you will
get life forever. 23When people sin, they earn what sin pays--death. But God gives
his people a free gift--life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Footnote: baptized, baptism Greek words meaning to be immersed, dipped, or buried
briefly under water.

Quick Thought:

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my mind and my heart. For Your lovingkindness
is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth. Psalm 26:2-3 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 13:9-13
"But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be
flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My
(Jesus') sake, as a testimony to them. And the gospel must first be preached to
all the nations.
"And when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand about
what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not
you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.
"And brother will deliver brother to death, and a father his child; and children
will rise up against parents and have them put to death.
"And you will be hated by all on account of My name, but the one who endures to
the end, he shall be saved." Mark 13:9-13 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:37-42
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying,
"If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as
the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.'
"

But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive;
for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, "This
certainly is the Prophet."

Others were saying, "This is the Christ." Still others were saying, "Surely the
Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He? Has not the Scripture said that
the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where
David was?" John 7:37-42 (NAS)

Right With God
5 1We have been made right with God because of our faith. So we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Through our faith, Christ has brought us into
that blessing of God's grace (kindness) that we now enjoy. And we are very happy
because of the hope we have of sharing God's glory. 3And we are also happy with
the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these
troubles make us more patient. 4And this patience is proof that we are strong. And
this proof gives us hope. 5And this hope will never disappoint us--[it will never
fail]. Why? Because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. God gave us
his love through the Holy Spirit.* That Holy Spirit was a gift to us from God. 6Christ
died for us while we were still weak people. We were living against God, but at
the right time, Christ died for us. 7Very few people will die to save the life of
another person, even if that other person is a good person. If the person is a very
good person, then someone might be willing to die for that person. 8But Christ died
for us while we were still sinners. In that way God showed us that he loves us very
much. 9We have been made right with God by Christ's blood (death). So through Christ
we will surely be saved from God's anger. 10I mean that while we were God's enemies,
God made friends with us through the death of his Son. So surely, now that we are
God's friends, God will save us through his Son's life. 11And not only will we be
saved, but we are also very happy now. We are happy in God through our Lord Jesus
Christ. It is because of Jesus that we are now God's friends.

Adam and Christ
12Sin came into the world because of what one man (Adam) did. And with sin came
death. So this is why all people must die--because all people sinned. 13Sin was
in the world before the law [of Moses]. But God does not make people guilty for
sin if there is no law. 14But from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, all people
had to die. Adam died because he sinned by not obeying God's command. But even those
people that did not sin the way Adam sinned had to die. Adam was like the One (Christ)
who was coming in the future. 15But God's free gift is not like Adam's sin. Many
people died because of the sin of that one man (Adam). But the grace (kindness)
that people received from God was much greater. Many people received God's gift
[of life] by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ. 16After Adam sinned once,
he was judged guilty. But the gift of God is different. God's free gift came after
many sins. And the gift makes people right with God. 17One man sinned, and so death
ruled all people because of that one man. But now some people accept God's full
grace (kindness) and his great gift of being made right. Surely those people will
have true life and rule through the one man, Jesus Christ. 18So one sin [of Adam]
brought the punishment [of death] to all people. But in the same way, one good thing
[that Christ did] makes all people right with God. And that brings true life for
those people. 19One man (Adam) disobeyed God and many people became sinners. But
in the same way, one man (Christ) obeyed God and many people will be made right.
20The law came to make people have more sin. But when people had more sin, God
gave them more of his grace (kindness). 21Sin once used death to rule us. But God
gave people more of his grace so that grace could rule by making people right with
him. This brings life forever through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Footnotes: Spirit, Holy Spirit Also called the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ,
and the Comforter. Joined with God and Christ, He does God's work among people in
the world.

always want to do more evil.

Punish the person

Quick Thought:

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10
(NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 13:1-8
And as He (Jesus) was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him,
"Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!" And Jesus
said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon
another which will not be torn down."

And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James
and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately, "Tell us, when will these things
be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?"

And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. Many will come
in My name, saying, 'I am He!' and will mislead many.

"And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things
must take place; but that is not yet the end. For nation will arise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there
will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs." Mark
13:1-8 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:31-36
But many of the multitude believed in Him (in Jesus); and they were saying, "When
the Christ shall come, He will not perform more signs than those which this man
has, will He?"
The Pharisees heard the multitude muttering these things about Him; and the chief
priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him.
Jesus therefore said, "For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him
who sent Me. You shall seek Me, and shall not find Me; and where I am, you cannot
come."
The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we
shall not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks,
and teach the Greeks, is He?
"What is this statement that He said, 'You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and
where I am, you cannot come'?" John 7:31-36 (NAS)

The Example of Abraham
4 1So what can we say about Abraham,* the father of our people? What did he learn
about faith? 2If Abraham was made right by the things he did, then he had a reason
to boast. But Abraham could not boast before God. 3The Scripture* says, "Abraham
believed God. And God accepted Abraham's faith. That made Abraham right with God."*
4When a person works, his pay is not given to him as a gift. He earns the pay he
gets. 5But a person cannot do any work that will make him right with God. So that
person must trust in God. Then God accepts that person's faith (trust), and that
makes him right with God. God is the One who makes even evil people right. 6David*
said the same thing. David said that a person is truly happy when God does not look
at the things that person has done but accepts him like a good person: 7"People
are truly blessed (happy) when their wrongs are forgiven, and when their sins are
covered! 8And when the Lord accepts a person like he was without sin, that person
is truly blessed!" (Psalm 32:1-2)

9Is this happiness only for those people that are circumcised* (the Jews)? Or is
this happiness also for people that are not circumcised (non-Jews)? We have already
said that God accepted Abraham's faith, and that faith made him right with God.
10So how did this happen? Did God accept Abraham* before or after he was circumcised?
God accepted him before his circumcision.* 11Abraham was circumcised later to show
that God accepted him. His circumcision was proof that he was right with God through
faith before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all people that believe
but are not circumcised. Those people believe and are accepted like people that
are right with God. 12And Abraham is also the father of people that have been circumcised.
But it is not their circumcision that makes Abraham their father. He is their father
only if they live following the faith that our father Abraham had before he was
circumcised.

God's Promise Received Through Faith
13Abraham* and his descendants* received the promise that they would get the whole
world. But Abraham did not receive that promise because he followed the law.* Abraham
received that promise because he was right with God through his faith. 14If people
could get the things that God promised by following the law, then faith is worthless.
And God's promise to Abraham is worthless. 15Why? Because the law can only bring
God's anger [when the law is not obeyed]. But if there is no law, then there is
nothing to disobey. 16So people get God's promise by having faith. This happens
so that the promise can be a free gift. And if the promise is a free gift, then
all of Abraham's* people can have that promise. The promise is not only for those
people that live under the law [of Moses]. The promise is for any person that lives
with faith like Abraham. Abraham is the father of us all. 17Like it is written [in
the Scriptures* ] "I have made you (Abraham) a father of many nations."* This is
true before God. Abraham believed in God--the God who gives life to dead people
and decides that things will happen that have not yet happened. 18There was no
hope [that Abraham* would have children]. But Abraham believed God and continued
hoping. And that is why he became the father of many nations. Like God told him,
"You will have many descendants (children)."* 19Abraham was almost 100 years old,
so his body was much past the age for having children. Also, Sarah could not have
children. Abraham thought about this. But his faith in God did not become weak.
20Abraham never doubted that God would do the thing that God promised. Abraham never
stopped believing. He grew stronger in his faith and gave praise to God. 21Abraham
felt sure that God was able to do the thing that God promised. 22So, "God accepted
Abraham's faith. That made him right with God."* 23Those words ("God accepted Abraham's
faith") were written not only for Abraham. 24Those words were also written for us.
God will also accept us because we believe. We believe in the One (God) that raised
Jesus our Lord from death. 25Jesus was given to die for our sins. And he was raised
from death to make us right with God.

Quick Thought:

"LORD, look on my affliction and my pain, and forgive all my sins. Consider my enemies,
for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. Keep my soul, and deliver
me; let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You." Psalm 25:18-20 (NKJ)

Mark 12:41-44

"And He (Jesus) sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the multitude
were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large
sums."

"And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent."

"And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor
widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury..."

"...for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in
all she owned, all she had to live on." Mark 12:41-44 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:25-30
"Therefore some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not the man whom
they are seeking to kill? And look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying
nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?"

"However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one
knows where He is from."

"Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know Me
and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is
true, whom you do not know. I know Him; because I am from Him, and He sent Me."

"They were seeking therefore to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because
His hour had not yet come." John 7:25-30 (NAS)

================================================================================

3 1So, do Jews have anything that other people don't have? Is there anything special
about being circumcised* ? 2Yes, the Jews have many special things. The most important
thing is this: God trusted the Jews with his teachings. 3It is true that some Jews
were not faithful to God. But will that stop God from doing what he promised? 4No!
God will continue to be true even when every person is false. Like the Scriptures*
say: "You will be proved right in your words, and you will win when you are being
judged." (Psalm 51:4) 5When we do wrong, that shows more clearly that God is right.
So can we say that God does wrong when he punishes us? (I am using an idea that
some people might have.) 6No! If God could not punish us, then God could not judge
the world. 7A person might say, "When I lie, it really gives God glory, because
my lie shows God's truth. So why am I judged a sinner?" 8It would be the same to
say, "We should do evil so that good will come." Many people criticize us and say
that we teach those things. People that say those things are wrong, and they should
be condemned.

All People Are Guilty
9So are we Jews better than other people? No! We have already said that Jews and
non-Jews are the same. They are all guilty of sin. 10Like the Scriptures* say:
"There is no person without sin. None! 11There is no person that understands. There
is no person that really wants to be with God. 12All people have turned away, and
all people have become worthless. There is no person that does good. None!" (Psalm
14:1-3) 13"People's mouths are like open graves; they use their tongues for telling
lies." (Psalm 5:9) "The things they say are like the poison of snakes;" (Psalm 140:3)
14"their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness." (Psalm 10:7) 15"People are
always ready to hurt and kill; 16everywhere they go they cause ruin and sadness.
17People don't know the way of peace." (Isaiah 59:7-8) 18"They have no fear or
respect for God." (Psalm 36:1)
19These things the law* says are for the people that are under the law. This stops
all [Jewish] people from making excuses and brings the whole world (Jews and non-Jews)
under God's judgment. 20Why? Because no person can be made right with God by following
the law. The law only shows us our sin.
How God Makes People Right
21But God has a way to make people right without the law. And God has now shown
us that new way. The law and the prophets* told us about this new way. 22God makes
people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this for all people that
believe in Christ. All people are the same. 23All people have sinned and are not
good enough for God's glory. 24People are made right with God by his grace (kindness).
This is a free gift. People are made right with God by being made free from sin
through Jesus Christ. 25God gave Jesus as a way to forgive people's sins through
faith. God forgives by the blood (death) of Jesus. God gave Jesus to show that
he always does what is right and fair. God was right in the past when he was patient
and did not punish people for their sins. 26And God gave Jesus to show today that
God does what is right. God did this so that he could judge rightly and also make
right any person that has faith in Jesus.
27So do we have a reason to boast about ourselves? No! And why not? It is the way
of faith that stops all boasting, not the way of following the law. 28Why? Because
a person is made right with God through faith, not through the things he has done
to follow the law. This is what we believe. 29God is not only the God of the Jews.
He is also the God of the non-Jews. 30There is only one God. He will make Jews*
right with him by their faith. And he will also make non-Jews* right with him through
their faith. 31So do we destroy the law by following the way of faith? No! Faith
causes us to be what the law truly wants.

proud thoughts are sins.
They show a person is evil.
Careful plans can
lead to profit. But if you
are not careful, and you do things too quickly,
then you will become poor.
If you cheat to

wealth will soon be gone. And your riches

Quick Thought:

God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore submit to God. Resist
the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:6-7 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 12:35-40
And Jesus answering began to say, as He taught in the temple, "How is it that the
scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

"David himself said in the Holy Spirit, 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right
hand, until I put Thine enemies beneath Thy feet.'
"David himself calls Him (the Christ) 'Lord'; and so in what sense is He his son?"
And the great crowd enjoyed listening to Him.
And in His teaching He was saying: "Beware of the scribes who like to walk around
in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats
in the synagogues, and places of honor at banquets, who devour widows' houses, and
for appearance's sake offer long prayers; these will receive greater condemnation."
Mark 12:35-40 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:16-24
Jesus therefore answered them, and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent
Me. If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether
it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself.

"He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory
of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Did
not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you
seek to kill Me?"

The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?" Jesus answered
and said to them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel. On this account Moses has
given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and
on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

"If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath that the Law of Moses may not be
broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." John 7:16-24
(NAS)

You Jews Also Are Sinful
2 1If you think that you can judge those other people, then you are wrong. You
too are guilty of sin. You judge those people, but you do the same bad things they
do. So when you judge them, you are really judging yourself guilty. 2God judges
the people that do those wrong things. And we know that God's judgment is right.
3You also judge the people that do those wrong things. But you do those wrong things
too. So surely you understand that God will judge you. You will not be able to escape.
4God has been very kind to you. And he has been patient with you. God has been waiting
for you to change. But you think nothing of his kindness. Maybe you don't understand
that God is kind to you so that you will change your hearts and lives. 5But you
people are hard and stubborn. You refuse to change. So you are making your own punishment
greater and greater. You will get that punishment on the day when God will show
his anger. On that day people will see God's right judgments. 6God will reward or
punish every person for the things that person has done. 7Some people live for God's
glory, for honor, and for life that cannot be destroyed. Those people live for those
things by always continuing to do good. God will give life forever to those people.
8But other people are selfish and refuse to follow truth. Those people follow evil.
God will give those people his punishment and anger. 9God will give trouble and
suffering to every person that does evil--to the Jews first and also to the non-Jews.
10But God will give glory, honor, and peace to every person that does good--to the
Jews first and also to the non-Jews. 11God judges all people the same.

12People that have the law* and people that have never heard of the law are all
the same when they sin. People that don't have the law and are sinners will be lost.
And, in the same way, people that have the law and are sinners will be judged by
the law. 13Hearing the law does not make people right with God. The law makes people
right with God only if those people always obey everything the law says. 14(The
non-Jews don't have the law. But when they freely do things that the law commands
without even knowing the law, then they are the law for themselves. This is true
even though they don't have the law. 15They show that in their hearts they know
what is right and wrong, the same as the law commands. And those people also show
this by the way they feel about right and wrong. Sometimes their thoughts tell them
that they did wrong, and this makes them guilty. And sometimes their thoughts tell
them that they did right, and this makes them not guilty.) 16All these things will
happen on the day when God will judge the secret things inside of people. The Good
News* that I tell people says that God will judge people through Christ Jesus.

The Jews and the Law
17What about you? You say you are a Jew. You trust in the law and boast that you
are close to God. 18You know what God wants you to do. And you know the things
that are important, because you have learned the law. 19You think you are a guide
for people that don't know the right way. You think you are a light for people that
are in darkness (sin). 20You think you can show foolish people what is right. And
you think you are a teacher for people that still need to learn. You have the law
and so you think that you know everything and have all truth. 21You teach other
people. So why don't you teach yourself? You tell people not to steal. But you yourselves
steal. 22You say that people must not do the sin of adultery.* But you yourselves
are guilty of that sin. You hate idols.* But you steal from temples.* 23You boast
about God's law. But you bring shame to God by breaking his law. 24It is written
in the Scriptures* : "The non-Jews say bad things about God because of you [Jews]."*

25If you follow the law,* then your circumcision* has meaning. But if you break
the law, then it is like you were never circumcised. 26The non-Jews are not circumcised.
But if they do what the law says, then it is like they were circumcised. 27You Jews
have the written law and circumcision, but you break the law. So the people that
are not circumcised in their bodies, but still obey the law, will show that you
people are guilty. 28A person is not a true Jew if he is only a Jew in his physical
body. True circumcision* is not only on the outside of the body. 29A person is a
true Jew only if he is a Jew inside. True circumcision is done in the heart. It
is done by the Spirit,* not by the written law. And a person that is circumcised
in the heart by the Spirit gets praise from God, not from people.

Footnotes: law God's law. It is represented in the law of Moses. Good News The news
that God has made a way for people to have their sins forgiven and live with Him
forever. adultery Breaking a marriage promise by sexual sin. idols The false gods
that the non-Jewish people worship. temples Places where people worship. Scripture(s)

Joined with God and Christ, He does God's work among people in the world.

Romans 6:1-18

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace might increase? May
it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know
that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into
His death?

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that
as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might
walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of
His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing
this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done
away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed
from sin.

Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing
that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer
is master over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin, once for all; but
the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead
to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your
mortal body that you should obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members
of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to
God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness
to God. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under
grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never
be! Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience,
you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of
obedience resulting in righteousness? But thanks be to God that though you were
slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which
you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
Romans 6:1-18 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Questions:

According to Romans 6, all of us who have been baptized (immersed in water -- see
Acts 2:38-39 and Acts 8:38-39) into Jesus Christ as the scriptures teach...we are
baptized into whose death?

When we are buried with Christ in baptism, we have the following promises from these
verses: 1) If we have been buried with Him throught baptism, as Christ was raised
from the dead...we too might walk in _______ of life; 2) If we become united with
Him in the likeness of His ________, then we certainly shall be united with Him
in the likeness of His _____________; 3) If our old self was crucified with Him,
that our body of sin might be done away with, we should no longer be slaves to
________; 4) If we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also ______ with
Him.

Farmers
dig small ditches to water their
fields. They change where the water
goes by closing different ditches. The Lord
controls a king's mind just like that. The Lord
can lead the king wherever he wants him to go.
A person thinks
everything he does is
right. But the Lord judges the real reasons
people do things. Do the things that
are right and fair. The
Lord loves that better than sacrifices. Proverbs 21:1-3 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net. Turn
Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles
of my heart have enlarged; bring me out of my distresses! Psalm 25:15-17 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 12:28-34
And one of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He (Jesus)
had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?"
Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this, 'You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
And the scribe said to Him, "Right, Teacher, you have truly stated that He is One;
and there is no one else besides Him; and to love Him with all the heart and with
all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself,
is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
And when Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, "You are
not far from the kingdom of God." And after that, no one would venture to ask Him
any more questions. Mark 12:28-34 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:10-15
But when His (Jesus') brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went
up, not publicly, but as it were, in secret. The Jews therefore were seeking Him
at the feast, and were saying, "Where is He?"

And there was much grumbling among the multitudes concerning Him; some were saying,
"He is a good man"; others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He leads the multitude
astray." Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began
to teach.

The Jews therefore were marveling, saying, "How has this man become learned, having
never been educated?" John 7:10-15 (NAS)

All People Have Done Wrong
18God's anger is shown from heaven. God is angry with all the evil and wrong things
that people do against God. They have the truth, but by their evil lives they hide
the truth. 19God shows his anger, because everything that is known about God has
been made clear to them. Yes, God has clearly shown people everything that is known
about him. 20There are things about God that people cannot see--his eternal power
and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those
things have been easy for people to understand. Those things are made clear in
the things that God has made. So people have no excuse for the bad things they do.
21People knew God. But they did not give glory to God and they did not thank him.
People's thinking became useless. Their foolish minds were filled with darkness
(sin). 22People said they were wise, and they became fools. 23They gave up the glory
of God who lives forever. People traded that glory for the worship of idols* made
to look like earthly people. People traded God's glory for things that look like
birds, animals, and snakes.

24People were full of sin, wanting only to do evil things. So God left them and
let them go their sinful way. And so they became full of sexual sins, using their
bodies wrongly with each other. 25Those people traded the truth of God for a lie.
Those people worshiped and served things that were made. But people did not worship
and serve the God who made those things. God should be praised forever. Amen.

26Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things
they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex with men. They started having
sex with other women. 27In the same way, men stopped having natural sex with women.
The men began wanting each other all the time. Men did shameful things with other
men. And in their bodies they received the punishment for those wrong things they
did.

28People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God
left them and allowed those people to have their own worthless thinking. And so
those people do the things that they should not do. 29Those people are filled with
every kind of sin, evil, selfishness, and hatred. Those people are full of jealousy,
murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other. Those people
gossip 30and say evil things about each other. Those people hate God. They are rude
and conceited and boast about themselves. Those people invent ways of doing evil.
They don't obey their parents, 31they are foolish, they don't keep their promises,
and they show no kindness or mercy to other people. 32Those people know God's law.
They know that God's law says that people that live like this should die. But they
continue to do these wrong things. And they also feel that people who do these things
are doing right.

Footnotes: idols Statues made from wood, stone, or metal that people worshiped like
gods.

Quick Thought:

The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to
yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 3:17-18
(NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 12:18-27
And some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Him (to Jesus),
and began questioning Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's
brother dies, and leaves behind a wife, and leaves no child, his brother should
take the wife, and raise up offspring to his brother.

"There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died, leaving no offspring.
And the second one took her, and died, leaving behind no offspring; and the third
likewise; and so all seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also. In
the resurrection, when they rise again, which one's wife will she be? For all seven
had her as wife."

Jesus said to them, "Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand
the Scriptures, or the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither
marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

"But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book
of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I
am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the
God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken." Mark 12:18-27 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:1-9
And after these things Jesus was walking in Galilee; for He was unwilling to walk
in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. His brothers therefore
said to Him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may
behold Your works which You are doing. For no one does anything in secret, when
he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to
the world." For not even His brothers were believing in Him.

Jesus therefore said to them, "My time is not yet at hand, but your time is always
opportune. The world cannot hate you; but it hates Me because I testify of it, that
its deeds are evil.

"Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has
not yet fully come. And having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee."
John 7:1-9 (NAS)

1 1Greetings from Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus. God called me to be an apostle.*
I was chosen to tell God's Good News* to all people. 2God promised long ago to give
this Good News to his people. God used his prophets* to promise this. That promise
is written in the Holy Scriptures.* 3-4The Good News is about God's Son, Jesus Christ
our Lord. As a person, he was born from the family of David.* But through the Spirit
of holiness* Jesus was shown to be God's Son. He was shown to be God's Son with
great power by rising from death. 5Through Christ, God gave me the special work
of an apostle.* God gave me this work to lead people of all nations to believe and
obey God. And I do this work for Christ. 6And you people in Rome were also called
to belong to Jesus Christ. 7This letter is to all of you in Rome that God has called
to be his holy people.* You are people that God loves. Grace (kindness) and peace
to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Prayer of Thanks
8First I want to say that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you. I
thank God because people everywhere in the world are talking about your great faith.
9-10Every time I pray I always remember you. God knows this is true. God is the
One I worship (serve) in my spirit by telling people the Good News* about his Son.
I pray that I will be allowed to come to you. It will happen if God wants it. 11I
want very much to see you. I want to give you some spiritual gift to make you strong.
12I mean that I want us to help each other with the faith that we have. Your faith
will help me, and my faith will help you. 13Brothers [and sisters], I want you to
know that I planned many times to come to you. But I have not been allowed to come
to you. I wanted to come so that I could help you grow spiritually. I want to help
you like I have helped the other non-Jewish people. 14I must serve all people--Greeks
and non-Greeks, wise people and foolish people. 15That is why I want so much to
tell the Good News* to you there in Rome. 16I am proud of the Good News. The Good
News is the power God uses to save every person that believes--to save the Jews
first, and also to save the non-Jews. 17The Good News shows how God makes people
right with himself. God's way of making people right begins and ends with faith.
Like the Scripture* says, "The person that is right with God by faith will live
forever."*
Footnotes: apostle A person Jesus chose to represent him in a special way. Good
News The news that God has made a way for people to have their sins forgiven and
live with Him forever. prophets People who spoke for God. Scripture(s) Holy Writings--the
Old Testament. David King of Israel about 1000 years before Christ. Spirit of holiness
Probably the Holy Spirit. apostle A person Jesus chose to represent Him in a special
way. holy people God's people are called holy because they are made pure through
Christ and belong only to God. "The person ... forever" Quote from Hab. 2:4.

A person's spirit is like a lamp to the Lord. The Lord
is able to see into the deepest parts of a person.
If a king is
loyal and true, then he will
keep his power. His true love will keep his
kingdom strong.

We admire a young
man for his strength.
But we respect an old man for his gray hair...it shows he lived
a full life.
If we are
punished, we will stop doing
wrong. Pain can change a person. Proverbs 20:27-30 (ERV)

The Lord decides
what happens to every
person. So how can any person understand
what happens in his life?
Think carefully
before you promise to
give something to God. Later you might wish
that you had not made that promise.
A wise king will
decide which people are
evil. And that king will punish those people. Proverbs 20:24-26 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.
Psalm 25:14 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 12:13-17
And they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him (to Jesus), in order to
trap Him in a statement.

And they came and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful, and defer
to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is
it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not? Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?"

But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing Me? Bring Me
a denarius to look at." And they brought one. And He said to them, "Whose likeness
and inscription is this?" And they said to Him, "Caesar's." And Jesus said to
them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that
are God's." And they were amazed at Him. Mark 12:13-17 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 6:64-71
"But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning
who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him. And He
was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless
it has been granted him from the Father."

As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew, and were not walking with Him
anymore. Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do
you?"

Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal
life. And we have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God."

Jesus answered them, "Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you
is a devil?" Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve,
was going to betray Him. John 6:64-71 (NAS)

Paul in Rome
16Then we went to Rome. In Rome Paul was allowed to live alone. But a soldier stayed
with Paul to guard him. 17Three days later Paul sent for some of the most important
Jews. When they came together, Paul said, "My Jewish brothers, I have done nothing
against our people (the Jews). I have done nothing against the customs of our fathers.*
But I was arrested in Jerusalem and given to the Romans. 18The Romans asked me many
questions. But they could not find any reason why I should be killed. So they wanted
to let me go free. 19But the Jews there did not want that. So I had to ask [to come
to Rome] to have my trial before Caesar.* But I am not saying that my people (the
Jews) have done anything wrong. 20That is why I wanted to see you and talk with
you. I am bound with this chain because I believe in the hope of Israel.*" 21The
Jews answered Paul, "We have received no letters from Judea about you. None of
our Jewish brothers who have traveled from there (Judea) brought news about you
or told us anything bad about you. 22We want to hear your ideas. We know that people
everywhere are speaking against this group (Christians)."

23Paul and the Jews chose a day for a meeting. On that day many more of these Jews
met with Paul at his house. Paul spoke to them all day long. Paul explained the
kingdom of God to them. Paul tried to persuade them to believe the things about
Jesus. He used the law of Moses and the writings of the prophets* to do this. 24Some
of the Jews believed the things Paul said, but others did not believe. 25They had
an argument. The Jews were ready to leave, but Paul said one more thing to them:
"The Holy Spirit* spoke the truth to your fathers* through Isaiah the prophet.*
He said, 26'Go to this people (the Jews) and tell them: You will listen and you
will hear, but you will not understand! You will look and you will see, but you
will not understand what you see! 27Yes, the minds of these people (the Jews) are
now closed. These people have ears, but they don't listen. And these people refuse
to see [the truth]. This has happened so that they will not see with their eyes,
hear with their ears, and understand with their minds. This has happened so that
they will not turn to me to heal them.' (Isaiah 6:9-10) 28"I want you Jews to know
that God has sent his salvation to the non-Jewish people. They will listen!" 29*

30Paul stayed two full years in his own rented house. He welcomed all people that
came and visited him. 31Paul told people about the kingdom of God. He taught about
the Lord Jesus Christ. He was very bold (brave), and no one tried to stop him from
speaking.

Footnotes: father(s) Important ancestors of the Jews; the leaders of the twelve
Jewish family groups. Caesar The name given to the emperor (ruler) of Rome. Israel
The Jewish nation (people). prophets People that spoke for God. Some of them wrote
books that are part of the Old Testament. Spirit, Holy Spirit Also called the Spirit
of God, the Spirit of Christ, and the Comforter. Joined with God and Christ, He
does God's work among people in the world. Verse 29 Some late copies of Acts add
verse 29: "After Paul said this, the Jews left. They were arguing very much with
each other."

If your wealth
was very easy to get, it will
not be worth much to you.
If someone does
something against you,
don't try to punish him yourself. Wait for the
Lord! In the end, he will make you the winner.

Some people use
weights and scales that
are not accurate. They use those things so they
can cheat people. The Lord hates that. That
does not make him happy! Proverbs 20:21-23 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works
are done in the meekness of wisdom. James 3:13 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 12:10-12

"Have you not even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected,
this became the chief corner stone.

"This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

And they were seeking to seize Him (Jesus); and yet they feared the multitude; for
they understood that He spoke the parable against them. And so they left Him, and
went away. Mark 12:10-12 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 6:52-63
The Jews therefore began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man (Jesus)
give us His flesh to eat?" Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to
you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no
life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and
I will raise him up on the last day.

"For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He who eats My flesh and
drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I
live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.
This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate, and died,
he who eats this bread shall live forever."

These things He said in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum. Many therefore
of His disciples, when they heard this said, "This is a difficult statement; who
can listen to it?" But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said
to them, "Does this cause you to stumble? What then if you should behold the Son
of Man ascending where He was before?

"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have
spoken to you are spirit and are life." John 6:52-63 (NAS)

Paul on the Island of Malta
28 1When we were safe on land, we learned that the island was called Malta. 2It
was raining and very cold. But the people that lived there were very good to us.
They made a fire for us and welcomed all of us. 3Paul gathered a pile of sticks
for the fire. Paul was putting the sticks on the fire. A poisonous snake came out
because of the heat and bit Paul on the hand. 4The people living on the island saw
the snake hanging from Paul's hand. They said, "This man must be a murderer! He
did not die in the sea, but Justice* does not want him to live." 5But Paul shook
the snake off into the fire. Paul was not hurt. 6The people thought that Paul would
swell up or fall down dead. The people waited and watched Paul for a long time,
but nothing bad happened to him. So the people changed their opinion of Paul. They
said, "He is a god!"

7There were some fields around that same area. A very important man on the island
owned these fields. His name was Publius. He welcomed us into his home. Publius
was very good to us. We stayed in his house for three days. 8Publius' father was
very sick. He had a fever and dysentery.* But Paul went to him and prayed for him.
Paul put his hands on the man and healed him. 9After this happened, all the other
sick people on the island came to Paul. Paul healed them too. 10-11The people on
the island gave us many honors. We stayed there three months. When we were ready
to leave, the people gave us the things we needed.

Paul Goes to Rome
We got on a ship from the city of Alexandria. The ship had stayed on the island
of Malta during the winter. On the front of the ship was the sign for the twin gods.*
12We stopped at the city of Syracuse. We stayed in Syracuse three days and then
left. 13We came to the city of Rhegium. The next day a wind began to blow from the
southwest, so we were able to leave. A day later we came to the city of Puteoli.
14We found some brothers (believers) there. They asked us to stay with them a week.
Finally, we came to Rome. 15The believers in Rome heard that we were there. They
came out to meet us at the Market of Appius* and at the Three Inns.* When Paul
saw these believers, he felt better. Paul thanked God.
Footnotes: Justice The people thought there was a god named Justice who would punish
bad people. dysentery A very bad sickness like diarrhea. twin gods Statues of Castor
and Pollux, Greek gods. Market of Appius A town about 27 miles from Rome. Three
Inns A town about 30 miles from Rome.

Quick Thought:

Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. He
himself shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the earth.
Psalm 25:12-13 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 12:1-9
And He (Jesus) began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard, and
put a wall around it, and dug a vat under the wine press, and built a tower, and
rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey. And at the harvest time he
sent a slave to the vine- growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the
vineyard from the vine- growers. And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away
empty-handed.

"And again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated
him shamefully. And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many
others, beating some, and killing others.

"He had one more to send, a beloved son; he sent him last of all to them, saying,
'They will respect my son.' But those vine-growers said to one another, 'This is
the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!' "

"And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. What will
the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will
give the vineyard to others." Mark 12:1-9 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 6:41-51
The Jews therefore were grumbling about Him (about Jesus), because He said, "I am
the bread that came down out of heaven." And they were saying, "Is not this Jesus,
the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, 'I have
come down out of heaven'?"

Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come
to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last
day."

"It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught of God.' Everyone
who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. Not that any man has seen
the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. Truly, truly,
I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.

"I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they
died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it
and not die. I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats
of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread also which I shall give for
the life of the world is My flesh." John 6:41-51 (NAS)

The Storm
13Then a good wind began to blow from the south. The men on the ship thought, "This
is the wind we wanted, and now we have it!" So they pulled up the anchor. We sailed
very close to the island of Crete. 14But then a very strong wind named the "Northeaster"
came from across the island. 15This wind took the ship and carried it away. The
ship could not sail against the wind. So we stopped trying and let the wind blow
us. 16We went below a small island named Cauda. Then* we were able to bring in
the lifeboat, but it was very hard to do. 17After the men took the lifeboat in,
they tied ropes around the ship to hold the ship together. The men were afraid that
the ship would hit the sandbanks of Syrtis.* So they lowered the sail and let the
wind carry the ship. 18The next day the storm was blowing us so hard that the men
threw some things out of the ship.* 19A day later they threw out the ship's equipment.
20For many days we could not see the sun or the stars. The storm was very bad. We
lost all hope of staying alive--we thought we would die.

21The men did not eat for a long time. Then one day Paul stood up before them and
said, "Men, I told you not to leave Crete. You should have listened to me. Then
you would not have all this trouble and loss. 22But now I tell you to be happy.
None of you will die! But the ship will be lost. 23Last night an angel came to me
from God. This is the God I worship. I am his. 24God's angel said, 'Paul, don't
be afraid! You must stand before Caesar.* And God has given you this [promise]:
He will save the lives of all those men sailing with you.' 25So men, be happy! I
trust in God. Everything will happen like his angel told me. 26But we will crash
on an island."

27On the 14th night we were floating around in the Adriatic Sea.* The sailors thought
we were close to land. 28They threw a rope into the water with a weight on the end
of it. They found that the water was 120 feet deep. They went a little farther and
threw the rope in again. It was 90 feet deep. 29The sailors were afraid that we
would hit the rocks. So they threw four anchors into the water. Then they prayed
for daylight to come. 30Some of the sailors wanted to leave the ship. They lowered
the lifeboat to the water. The sailors wanted the other men to think that they were
throwing more anchors from the front of the ship. 31But Paul told the army officer*
and the other soldiers, "If these men do not stay in the ship, then your lives cannot
be saved!" 32So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.

33Just before dawn Paul began persuading all the people to eat something. He said,
"For the past two weeks you have been waiting and watching. You have not eaten for
14 days. 34Now I beg (ask) you to eat something. You need it to stay alive. None
of you will lose even one hair off your heads." 35After he said this, Paul took
some bread and thanked God for it before all of them. He broke off a piece and
began eating. 36All the men felt better. They all started eating too. 37(There were
276 people on the ship.) 38We ate all we wanted. Then we began making the ship lighter
by throwing the grain into the sea.

The Ship Is Destroyed
39When daylight came the sailors saw land. But they did not know what land it was.
They saw a bay with a beach. The sailors wanted to sail the ship to the beach if
they could. 40So they cut the ropes to the anchors and left the anchors in the
sea. At the same time, they untied the ropes that were holding the rudders. Then
they raised the front sail into the wind and sailed toward the beach. 41But the
ship hit a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck there. The ship could not move.
Then the big waves began to break the back of the ship to pieces. 42The soldiers
decided to kill the prisoners so that none of the prisoners could swim away and
escape. 43But the army officer* (Julius) wanted to let Paul live. So he did not
allow the soldiers to kill the prisoners. Julius told the people that could swim
to jump into the water and swim to land. 44The other people used wooden boards or
pieces of the ship. And this is how all the people went to land. None of the people
died.

yourself responsible for another man's debts.
If you get
something by cheating, it may
seem like a good thing. But in the end it will
be worth nothing.
Get good advice

Quick Thought:

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have
works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily
food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but
you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
James 2:14-16 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 11:27-33
And they came again to Jerusalem. And as He (Jesus) was walking in the temple, the
chief priests, and scribes, and elders came to Him, and began saying to Him, "By
what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do
these things?"

And Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then
I will tell you by what authority I do these things. "Was the baptism of John from
heaven, or from men? Answer Me."

And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He
will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?' But shall we say, 'From men'?"--
they were afraid of the multitude, for all considered John to have been a prophet
indeed.

And answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither
will I tell you by what authority I do these things." Mark 11:27-33 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 6:37-40
"All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will
certainly not cast out.

"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who
sent Me.

"And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose
nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

"For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes
in Him, may have eternal life; and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
John 6:37-40 (NAS)

Paul Sails for Rome
27 1It was decided that we would sail for Italy. An army officer* named Julius
guarded Paul and some other prisoners. Julius served in the emperor's* army. 2We
got on a ship and left. The ship was from the city of Adramyttium and was ready
to sail to different places in Asia.* Aristarchus went with us. He was a man from
the city of Thessalonica in Macedonia. 3The next day we came to the city of Sidon.
Julius was very good to Paul. He gave Paul freedom to go visit his friends. These
friends took care of Paul's needs. 4We left the city of Sidon. We sailed close to
the island of Cyprus because the wind was blowing against us. 5We went across the
sea by Cilicia and Pamphylia. Then we came to the city of Myra in Lycia. 6In Myra
the army officer* found a ship from the city of Alexandria. This ship was going
to Italy. So he put us on it. 7We sailed slowly for many days. It was hard for us
to reach the city of Cnidus because the wind was blowing against us. We could not
go any farther that way. So we sailed by the south side of the island of Crete near
Salmone. 8We sailed along the coast, but the sailing was hard. Then we came to a
place called Safe Harbors. The city of Lasea was near there.

9But we had lost much time. It was now dangerous to sail, because it was already
after the Jewish day of fasting.* So Paul warned them, 10"Men, I can see that there
will be much trouble on this trip. The ship and the things in the ship will be lost.
Our lives may even be lost!" 11But the captain and the owner of the ship did not
agree with Paul. So the army officer* did not believe Paul. Instead, the officer
believed what the captain and owner of the ship said. 12And that harbor (Safe Harbors)
was not a good place for the ship to stay for the winter. So most of the men decided
that the ship should leave there. The men hoped we could go to Phoenix. The ship
could stay there for the winter. (Phoenix was a city on the island of Crete. It
had a harbor that faced southwest and northwest.)
Footnotes: army officer A centurion, a Roman army officer who had authority over
100 soldiers. emperor The ruler (leader) of the Roman empire. Asia The western
part of Asia Minor. day of fasting The day of Atonement, an important Jewish holy
day in the fall of the year. This was the time of year that bad storms happened
on the sea.

If you love to
sleep, then you will become
poor. But use your time working and you will
have plenty to eat.

The person who
buys something from
you always says, "It's no good! It costs too
much!" Then that person goes away and tells
other people that he made a good deal.

Gold and jewels
can make a man rich.
But a person who knows what he is talking
about is worth much, much more. Proverbs 20:13-15 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, to such as keep His covenant and
His testimonies. For Your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
Psalm 25:10-11 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 11:19-26
And whenever evening came, they would go out of the city. And as they were passing
by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. And being reminded,
Peter said to Him (to Jesus), "Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which You cursed has
withered."
And Jesus answered saying to them, "Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever
says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in
his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted
him.
"Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you
have received them, and they shall be granted you.
"And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so
that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your transgressions. But
if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions."
Mark 11:19-26 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 6:28-36
They said therefore to Him (to Jesus), "What shall we do, that we may work the works
of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe
in Him whom He has sent."

They said therefore to Him, "What then do You do for a sign, that we may see, and
believe You? What work do You perform? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness;
as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.' "

Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has
given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread
out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and
gives life to the world."

They said therefore to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread." Jesus said to them,
"I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes
in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you, that you have seen Me, and yet do not
believe." John 6:28-36 (NAS)

Paul Before King Agrippa
26 1Agrippa* said to Paul, "You may now speak to defend yourself." Then Paul raised
his hand* and began to speak. 2He said, "King Agrippa, I will answer all the charges
that the Jews say against me. I think it is a blessing that I can stand here before
you today and do this. 3I am very happy to talk to you, because you know much about
all the Jewish customs and the things that the Jews argue about. Please listen to
me patiently. 4"All the Jews know about my whole life. They know the way I lived
from the beginning in my own country and later in Jerusalem. 5These Jews have known
me for a long time. If they want to, they can tell you that I was a good Pharisee.*
And the Pharisees obey the laws of the Jewish religion more carefully than any other
group of Jewish people. 6Now I am on trial because I hope for the promise that God
made to our fathers.* 7This is the promise that all the twelve tribes (family groups)
of our people hope to receive. For this hope the Jews serve God day and night. My
king, the Jews have accused me because I hope for this same promise! 8Why do you
people think it is impossible for God to raise people from death? 9"[When I was
a Pharisee*], even I thought I should do many things against the name of Jesus
from Nazareth. 10And in Jerusalem I did many things against the believers.* The
leading priests gave me the power to put many of these people (believers) in jail.
When the followers of Jesus were being killed, I agreed that it was a good thing.
11In every synagogue* I punished them. I tried to make them say bad things against*
[Jesus]. I was so angry against these people (believers) that I went to other cities
to find them and hurt them.

Paul Tells About Seeing Jesus
12"One time the leading priests gave me permission and the power to go to the city
of Damascus. 13I was on the way to Damascus. It was noon. I saw a light from the
sky. The light was brighter than the sun. The light shined all around me and the
men who were traveling with me. 14We all fell to the ground. Then I heard a voice
talking to me in the Jewish language.* The voice said, 'Saul, Saul, why are you
doing these bad things to me? You are only hurting yourself by fighting me.' 15I
said, 'Who are you, Lord?' The Lord said, 'I am Jesus. I am the One you are persecuting.
16Stand up! I have chosen you to be my servant. You will be my witness--you will
tell people the things that you have seen about me today and the things that I
will show you. This is why I have come to you today. 17I will not let [your own]
people (the Jews) hurt you. And I will keep you safe from the non-Jewish people
too. I am sending you to these people. 18You will show the people the Truth. The
people will turn away from darkness (sin) to the light (good). They will turn away
from the power of Satan, and they will turn to God. Then their sins can be forgiven.
They can have a share with those people who have been made holy* by believing in
me.'"

Paul Tells About His Work
19Paul continued speaking: "King Agrippa,* after I had this vision* from heaven,
I obeyed it. 20I began telling people that they should change their hearts and
lives and turn back to God. I told the people to do things that show that they really
changed their hearts. I told these things first to people in Damascus. Then I went
to Jerusalem and to every part of Judea and told these things to the people there.
I also went to the non-Jewish people. 21This is why the Jews grabbed me and were
trying to kill me at the temple.* 22But God helped me, and he is still helping
me today. With God's help I am standing here today and telling all people the things
I have seen. But I am saying nothing new. I am saying the same things that Moses
and the prophets* said would happen. 23They said that the Christ* would die and
be the first to rise from death. Moses and the prophets said that the Christ would
bring light to the Jewish people and to the non-Jewish people."

Paul Tries to Persuade Agrippa
24While Paul was saying these things to defend himself, Festus shouted, "Paul, you
are crazy! Too much study has made you crazy!" 25Paul said, "Most Excellent Festus,
I am not crazy. The things I say are true. My words are not the words of a foolish
man; I am serious. 26King Agrippa* knows about these things. I can speak freely
to him. I know that he has heard about all of these things. Why? Because these things
happened where all people could see. 27King Agrippa, do you believe the things the
prophets* wrote? I know you believe!" 28King Agrippa* said to Paul, "Do you think
you can persuade me to become a Christian so easily?" 29Paul said, "It is not important
if it is easy or if it is hard; I pray to God that not only you but every person
listening to me today could [be saved and] be like me--except for these chains
I have!" 30King Agrippa,* Governor Festus, Bernice,* and all the people sitting
with them stood up 31and left the room. They were talking to each other. They said,
"This man should not be killed or put in jail; he has done nothing really bad!"
32And Agrippa said to Festus, "We could let this man go free, but he has asked to
see Caesar.*"

Quick Thought:

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love
your neighbor as yourself," you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit
sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. James 2:8-9 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 11:15-18
And they came to Jerusalem. And He (Jesus) entered the temple and began to cast
out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of
the moneychangers and the seats of those who were selling doves, and He would not
permit anyone to carry goods through the temple.

And He began to teach and say to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called
a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a robbers' den."

And the chief priests and the scribes heard this and began seeking how to destroy
Him; for they were afraid of Him, for all the multitude was astonished at His teaching.
Mark 11:15-18 (NAS)

John 6:22-27
"Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal

Paul Asks to See Caesar
25 1Festus became governor, and three days later he went from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
2The leading priests and the important Jewish leaders made charges against Paul
before Festus. 3They asked Festus to do something for them; the Jews wanted Festus
to send Paul back to Jerusalem. They had a plan to kill Paul on the way. 4But Festus
answered, "No! Paul will be kept in Caesarea. I myself will go to Caesarea soon.
5Some of your leaders should go with me. They can accuse the man (Paul) there in
Caesarea, if he has really done something wrong."

6Festus stayed in Jerusalem another eight or ten days. Then he went back to Caesarea.
The next day Festus told the soldiers to bring Paul before him. Festus was seated
on the judgment seat. 7Paul came into the room. The Jews who had come from Jerusalem
stood around him. The Jews said that Paul had done many wrong things. But they could
not prove any of these things. 8This is what Paul said to defend himself: "I have
done nothing wrong against the Jewish law, against the temple,* or against Caesar.*"
9But Festus wanted to please the Jews. So he asked Paul, "Do you want to go to Jerusalem?
Do you want me to judge you there on these charges?" 10Paul said, "I am standing
at Caesar's* judgment seat now. This is where I should be judged! I have done nothing
wrong to the Jews; you know this is true. 11If I have done something wrong, and
the law says I must die, then I agree that I should die. I don't ask to be saved
from death. But if these charges are not true, then no person can give me to these
Jews. No! I want Caesar* to hear my case!" 12Festus talked about this with his advisers.
Then he said, "You have asked to see Caesar,* so you will go to Caesar!"

Paul Before Herod Agrippa
13A few days later King Agrippa* and Bernice* came to Caesarea to visit Festus.
14They stayed there many days. Festus told the king about Paul's case. Festus said,
"There is a man that Felix left in prison. 15When I went to Jerusalem, the leading
priests and the older Jewish leaders there made charges against him. These Jews
wanted me to order his death. 16But I answered, 'When a man is accused of doing
something wrong, Romans don't give the man to other people to judge. First, the
man must face the people that are accusing him. And he must be allowed to defend
himself against their charges.' 17So these Jews came here [to Caesarea] for the
trial. And I did not waste time. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded
that the man (Paul) be brought in. 18The Jews stood up and accused him. But the
Jews did not accuse him of any bad crimes. I thought they would. 19The things they
said were about their own religion and about a man named Jesus. Jesus died, but
Paul said that he is still alive. 20I did not know much about these things, so I
did not ask questions. But I asked Paul, 'Do you want to go to Jerusalem and be
judged there?' 21But Paul asked to be kept in Caesarea. He wants a decision from
the Emperor (Caesar* ). So I commanded that Paul be held until I could send him
to Caesar [in Rome]." 22Agrippa* said to Festus, "I would like to hear this man,
too." Festus said, "Tomorrow you can hear him!"

23The next day Agrippa* and Bernice* appeared. They dressed and acted like very
important people. Agrippa and Bernice, the army leaders, and the important men of
Caesarea went into the judgment room. Festus commanded the soldiers to bring Paul
in. 24Festus said, "King Agrippa and all of you men gathered here with us, you see
this man (Paul). All the Jewish people, here and in Jerusalem, have complained to
me about him. When they complain about him, they shout that he should be killed.
25When I judged him, I could find nothing wrong. I found no reason to order his
death. But he asked to be judged by Caesar.* So I decided to send him [to Rome].
26But I don't really know what to tell Caesar that this man has done wrong. So I
have brought him before all of you--especially you, King Agrippa. I hope that you
can question him and give me something to write to Caesar. 27I think it is foolish
to send a prisoner [to Caesar] without making some charges against him."

Footnotes: temple The special building in Jerusalem for Jewish worship. Caesar The
name given to the emperor (ruler) of Rome. Agrippa Herod Agrippa II, great-grandson
of Herod the Great. Bernice Agrippa's sister. She was the oldest daughter of Herod

Quick Thought:

Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He teaches sinners in the way. The humble
He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way. Psalm 25:8-9 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 11:11-14
And He (Jesus) entered Jerusalem and came into the temple; and after looking all
around, He departed for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late.

And on the next day, when they had departed from Bethany, He became hungry.
And seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would
find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it
was not the season for figs.
And He answered and said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" And
His disciples were listening. Mark 11:11-14 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 6:22-27
The next day the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there
was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His
disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

There came other small boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the
bread after the Lord had given thanks. When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus
was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and
came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi,
when did You get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you,
you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were
filled.

"Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal
life, which the Son of Man shall give to you, for on Him the Father, even God, has
set His seal." John 6:22-27 (NAS)

The Jews Accuse Paul
24 1Five days later Ananias went to the city of Caesarea. Ananias was the high
priest.* Ananias also brought some of the older Jewish leaders and a lawyer named
Tertullus. They went to Caesarea to make charges against Paul before the governor.
2Paul was called into the meeting, and Tertullus began to make his charges. Tertullus
said, "Most Excellent Felix! Our people enjoy much peace because of you, and many
wrong things in our country are being made right through your wise help. 3We are
very thankful to accept these things from you. We accept these things always and
in every place. 4But I don't want to take any more of your time. So I will say only
a few words. Please be patient. 5This man (Paul) is a troublemaker. He makes trouble
with the Jews everywhere in the world. He is a leader of the Nazarene group. 6-8Also,
he was trying to make the temple* unclean, but we stopped him.* You can decide if
all these things are true. Ask him some questions yourself." 9The other Jews agreed.
They said, "These things are really true!"

10The governor made a sign for Paul to speak. So Paul answered, "Governor Felix,
I know that you have been a judge over this nation (Israel) for a long time. So
I am happy to defend myself before you. 11I went to worship in Jerusalem only twelve
days ago. You can learn for yourself that this is true. 12These Jews who are accusing
me did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple.* I was not making trouble
with the people. And I was not making trouble or arguing in the synagogues* or any
other place in the city. 13These Jews cannot prove the things they are saying against
me now. 14But I will tell you this: I worship the God of our fathers* as a follower
of the Way [of Jesus]. The Jews say that the Way [of Jesus] is not the right way.
But I believe everything that is taught in the law of Moses. And I believe everything
that is written in the books of the prophets.* 15I have the same hope in God that
these Jews have--the hope that all people, good and bad, will be raised from death.
16This is why I always try to do what I believe is right before God and men. 17"I
was away [from Jerusalem] for many years. I went back there to bring money to my
people and to give some offerings (gifts). 18I was doing this when some Jews saw
me at the temple.* I had finished the cleansing (washing) ceremony.* I had not made
any trouble; no people were gathering around me. 19But some Jews from Asia* were
there. They should be here, standing before you. If I have really done anything
wrong, those Jews from Asia are the ones who should accuse me. They were there!
20Ask these Jews here if they found any wrong in me when I stood before the Jewish
council meeting in Jerusalem. 21I did say one thing when I stood before them: I
said, 'You are judging me today because I believe that people will rise from death!'"

22Felix already understood a lot about the Way [of Jesus]. He stopped the trial
and said, "When commander Lysias comes here, I will decide about these things."
23Felix told the army officer* to keep Paul guarded. But he told the officer to
give Paul some freedom and to let Paul's friends bring the things that Paul needed.
Paul Speaks to Felix and His Wife
24After a few days Felix came with his wife, Drusilla. She was a Jew. Felix asked
for Paul to be brought to him. Felix listened to Paul talk about believing in Christ
Jesus. 25But Felix became afraid when Paul spoke about things like living right,
self-control, and the judgment that will come in the future. Felix said, "Go away
now! When I have more time, I will call you." 26But Felix had another reason for
talking with Paul. Felix hoped that Paul would pay him a bribe.* So Felix sent
for Paul often and talked with him. 27But after two years, Porcius Festus became
governor. So Felix was no longer governor. But Felix left Paul in prison, because
Felix wanted to do something to please the Jews.

Quick Thought:

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans
and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. James
1:27 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 11:1-10

And as they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives,
He (Jesus) sent two of His disciples, and said to them, "Go into the village opposite
you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which
no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. And if anyone says to you,
'Why are you doing this?' you say, 'The Lord has need of it'; and immediately he
will send it back here."

And they went away and found a colt tied at the door outside in the street; and
they untied it. And some of the bystanders were saying to them, "What are you doing,
untying the colt?" And they spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they
gave them permission.

And they brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on it; and He sat upon
it. And many spread their garments in the road, and others spread leafy branches
which they had cut from the fields.

And those who went before, and those who followed after, were crying out, "Hosanna!
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Blessed is the coming kingdom of
our father David; Hosanna in the highest!" Mark 11:1-10 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 6:15-21
Jesus therefore perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force,
to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.

Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, and after getting into
a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark,
and Jesus had not yet come to them.

And the sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. When therefore
they had rowed about three or four miles, they beheld Jesus walking on the sea and
drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.

But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." They were willing therefore to
receive Him into the boat; and immediately the boat was at the land to which they
were going. John 6:15-21 (NAS)

Paul Is Sent to Caesarea
23Then the commander called two army officers.* He said to them, "I need some men
to go to Caesarea. Get 200 soldiers ready. Also, get 70 soldiers on horses and 200
men to carry spears. Be ready to leave at nine o'clock tonight. 24Get some horses
for Paul to ride. He must be taken to Governor Felix safely." 25The commander wrote
a letter. This is what the letter said:

26From Claudius Lysias To the Most Excellent Governor Felix: Greetings. 27The Jews
had taken this man (Paul), and they planned to kill him. But I learned that he is
a Roman citizen,* so I went with my soldiers and saved him. 28I wanted to know why
they were accusing him. So I brought him before their council meeting. 29This is
what I learned: The Jews said Paul did some things that were wrong. But these charges
were about their own Jewish laws. And none of these things were worthy of jail or
death. 30I was told that some of the Jews were making a plan to kill Paul. So I
send him to you. I also told those Jews to tell you the things they have against
him.

31The soldiers did the things they were told. The soldiers got Paul and took him
to the city of Antipatris that night. 32The next day the soldiers on horses went
with Paul to Caesarea. But the other soldiers and the spearmen went back to the
army building [in Jerusalem]. 33The soldiers on horses entered Caesarea and gave
the letter to the governor (Felix). Then they gave Paul to him. 34The governor
read the letter. Then he asked Paul, "What country are you from?" The governor learned
that Paul was from Cilicia. 35The governor said, "I will hear your case when the
Jews who are against you come here too." Then the governor gave orders for Paul
to be kept in the palace. (This building had been built by Herod.*)

Footnotes: army officers A centurion, a Roman army officer who had authority over
100 soldiers. Roman citizen Roman law said that Roman citizens must not be beaten
before their trial. Herod Herod I (the Great), ruler of Judea, 40 B.C. to 4 B.C.

Quick Thought:

Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesss, for they are from
of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to
Your mercy remember me, for Your goodness' sake, O LORD. Psalm 25:6-7 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 10:46-52
And they came to Jericho. And as He (Jesus) was going out from Jericho with His
disciples and a great multitude, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus,
was sitting by the road.
And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus,
Son of David, have mercy on me!" And many were sternly telling him to be quiet,
but he kept crying out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." And they called the blind man, saying to
him, "Take courage, arise! He is calling for you." And casting aside his cloak,
he jumped up, and came to Jesus.
And answering him, Jesus said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" And the blind
man said to Him, "Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!" And Jesus said to him, "Go
your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he regained his sight and
began following Him on the road. Mark 10:46-52 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 6:1-14
After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).
And a great multitude was following Him, because they were seeing the signs which
He was performing on those who were sick. And Jesus went up on the mountain, and
there He sat with His disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at
hand.

Jesus therefore lifting up His eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming
to Him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?" And this
He was saying to test him; for He Himself knew what He was intending to do. Philip
answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for
everyone to receive a little."

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, "There is a lad
here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?"
Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So
the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, He distributed to those
who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted. And when they
were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments that nothing
may be lost." And so they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments
from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten. When therefore
the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, "This is of a truth the
Prophet who is to come into the world." John 6:1-14 (NAS)

================================================================================

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

23 1Paul looked at the Jewish council meeting and said, "Brothers, I have lived
my life in a good way before God. I have always done what I thought was right."
2Ananias,* the high priest,* was there. Ananias heard Paul and told the men who
were standing near Paul to hit him on his mouth. 3Paul said to Ananias, "God will
hit you too! You are like a [dirty] wall that has been painted white! You sit there
and judge me, using the law [of Moses]. But you are telling them to hit me, and
that is against the law [of Moses]." 4The men standing near Paul said to him, "You
cannot talk like that to God's high priest.* You are insulting him!" 5Paul said,
"Brothers, I did not know this man was the high priest. It is written in the Scriptures,*
'You must not say bad things about a leader of your people.'*"

6Some of the men in the meeting were Sadducees* and some others were Pharisees.*
So Paul had an idea: He shouted to them, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee and my father
was a Pharisee! I am on trial here because I hope (believe) that people will rise
from death!" 7When Paul said this, there was a big argument between the Pharisees*
and the Sadducees.* The group was divided. 8(The Sadducees believe that after people
die, they will not live again as an angel or as a spirit. But the Pharisees believe
in both.) 9All these Jews began shouting louder and louder. Some of the teachers
of the law, who were Pharisees, stood up and argued, "We find nothing wrong with
this man! Maybe an angel or a spirit really did speak to him!" 10The argument became
a fight. The commander was afraid that the Jews would tear Paul to pieces. So the
commander told the soldiers to go down and take Paul away from these Jews and to
put him in the army building.

11The next night the Lord [Jesus] came and stood by Paul. He said, "Be brave! You
have told people in Jerusalem about me. You must also go to Rome to tell people
there about me!"

12The next morning some of the Jews made a plan. They wanted to kill Paul. The Jews
made a promise (vow) to themselves that they would not eat or drink anything until
they had killed Paul. 13There were more than 40 Jews who made this plan. 14These
Jews went and talked to the leading priests and the older Jewish leaders. The Jews
said, "We have made a serious promise to ourselves. We promised that we will not
eat or drink until we have killed Paul! 15So this is what we want you to do: Send
a message to the commander from you and all the Jewish leaders. Tell the commander
you want him to bring Paul out to you. Tell the commander that you want to ask Paul
more questions. We will be waiting to kill Paul while he is on the way here."

16But Paul's nephew heard about this plan. He went to the army building and told
Paul about the plan. 17Then Paul called one of the army officers* and said to him,
"Take this young man to the commander. He has a message for him." 18So the army
officer brought Paul's nephew to the commander. The officer said, "The prisoner,
Paul, asked me to bring this young man to you. He wants to tell you something."
19The commander led the young man to a place where they could be alone. The commander
asked, "What do you want to tell me?" 20The young man said, "The Jews have decided
to ask you to bring Paul down to their council meeting tomorrow. The Jews want you
to think that they plan to ask Paul more questions. 21But don't believe them! There
are more than 40 Jews who are hiding and waiting to kill Paul. They have all promised
(vowed) not to eat or drink until they have killed him! Now they are waiting for
you to say yes." 22The commander sent the young man away. The commander told him,
"Don't tell anyone that you have told me about their plan."

A person who
steals from his father and
chases his mother away is a disgusting,
shameful person.
If you stop
listening to instructions, then
you will keep making stupid mistakes.
A lying witness
makes justice nothing but a
joke! The things evil people say bring more evil.

The person who
thinks that he is better
than other people will be punished. That
foolish person must be punished! Proverbs 19:26-29 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives
his own heart, this one's religion is useless. James 1:26 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 10:35-45
And James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Him (to Jesus), saying to
Him, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You." And He said to
them, "What do you want Me to do for you?" And they said to Him, "Grant that we
may sit in Your glory, one on Your right, and one on Your left."
But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to
drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"
And they said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink
you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.
But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those
for whom it has been prepared."
And hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John. And calling
them to Himself, Jesus said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as
rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority
over them. But it is not so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among
you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave
of all.
"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His
life a ransom for many." Mark 10:35-45 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 5:41-47
"I (Jesus) do not receive glory from men; but I know you, that you do not have the
love of God in yourselves.

"I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another shall come
in his own name, you will receive him. How can you believe, when you receive glory
from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?

"Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you
is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.

"For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. But if you
do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" John 5:41- 47 (NAS)

Paul Speaks to the People
22 1Paul said, "My brothers and my fathers, listen to me! I will make my defense
to you." 2The Jews heard Paul speaking the Jewish language.* So they became very
quiet. Paul said, 3"I am a Jew. I was born in Tarsus in the country of Cilicia.
I grew up in this city (Jerusalem). I was a student of Gamaliel.* He carefully
taught me everything about the law of our fathers.* I was very serious about serving
God, the same as all of you here today. 4I persecuted* the people that followed
the Way [of Jesus]. Some of them were killed because of me. I arrested men and women.
I put them in jail. 5The high priest* and the whole council of older Jewish leaders
can tell you that this is true! One time these leaders gave me some letters. The
letters were to the Jewish brothers in the city of Damascus. I was going there
to arrest the followers of Jesus and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment.

Paul Tells About His Conversion

6"But something happened to me on my way to Damascus. It was about noon when I came
close to Damascus. Suddenly a bright light from the sky shined all around me. 7I
fell to the ground. I heard a voice saying to me: 'Saul, Saul, why are you doing
these bad things to me?' 8I asked, 'Who are you, Lord?' The voice said, 'I am Jesus
from Nazareth. I am the One you are persecuting.' 9The men who were with me did
not understand the voice. But they saw the light. 10I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?'
The Lord (Jesus) answered, 'Get up and go into Damascus. There you will be told
all the things I have planned for you to do.' 11I could not see, because the bright
light had made me blind. So the men led me into Damascus.

12"In Damascus a man named Ananias* came to me. Ananias was a man that truly worshiped
God; he obeyed the law [of Moses]. All the Jews who lived there respected him. 13Ananias
came to me and said, 'Saul, my brother, you can see again!' Immediately I was able
to see him. 14Ananias told me, 'The God of our fathers* chose you long ago. God
chose you to know his plan. He chose you to see the Righteous One (Jesus) and to
hear words from him. 15You will be his witness to all people. You will tell men
about the things you have seen and heard. 16Now, don't wait any longer. Get up,
be baptized* and wash your sins away. Do this, trusting in him (Jesus) [to save
you].'

17"Later, I came back to Jerusalem. I was praying in the temple* yard, and I saw
a vision.* 18I saw Jesus, and Jesus said to me: 'Hurry! Leave Jerusalem now! The
people here will not accept the truth about me.' 19I said, 'But Lord, the people
know that I was the one who put the believers in jail and beat them. I went through
all the synagogues* to find and arrest the people who believe in you. 20The people
also know that I was there when Stephen, your witness, was killed. I stood there
and agreed that they should kill Stephen. I even held the coats of the men who
were killing him!' 21But Jesus said to me, 'Leave now. I will send you far away
to the non-Jewish people.'"

22The people stopped listening when Paul said this last thing [about going to the
non-Jewish people]. They all shouted, "Kill him! Get him out of the world! A man
like this should not be allowed to live!" 23They yelled and threw off their coats.*
They threw dust into the air.* 24Then the commander told the soldiers to take Paul
into the army building. He told the soldiers to beat Paul. He wanted to make Paul
tell why the people were shouting against him like this. 25So the soldiers were
tying Paul, preparing to beat him. But Paul said to an army officer* there, "Do
you have the right to beat a Roman citizen* who has not been proven guilty?" 26When
the officer heard this, he went to the commander and told him about it. The officer
said, "Do you know what you are doing? This man (Paul) is a Roman citizen!" 27The
commander came to Paul and said, "Tell me, are you really a Roman citizen?" Paul
answered, "Yes." 28The commander said, "I paid much money to become a Roman citizen."
But Paul said, "I was born a citizen." 29The men who were preparing to question
Paul moved away from him immediately. The commander was afraid because he had already
tied Paul, and Paul was a Roman citizen.*

Paul Speaks to the Jewish Leaders
30The next day the commander decided to learn why the Jews were speaking against
Paul. So he commanded the leading priests and the Jewish council to meet together.
The commander took Paul's chains off. Then he brought Paul out and stood Paul before
their meeting.

that they did wrong. Proverbs 19:24-25 (ERV)

Paul Visits James
17In Jerusalem the believers were very happy to see us. 18The next day, Paul went
with us to visit James. All the elders* (church leaders) were there too. 19Paul
greeted all of them. Then he told them about how God used him to do many things
among the non-Jewish people. He told them all the things that God did through him.
20When the leaders heard these things, they praised God. Then they said to Paul,
"Brother, you can see that thousands of Jews have become believers. But they think
it is very important to obey the law of Moses. 21These Jews have heard about your
teaching. They heard that you tell the Jews who live in other countries among non-Jews
to leave the law of Moses. They heard that you tell those Jews not to circumcise*
their children and not to obey Jewish customs. 22What should we do? The Jewish believers
here will learn that you have come. 23So we will tell you what to do: Four of our
men have made a vow* (promise) to God. 24Take these men with you and share in their
cleansing (washing) ceremony.* Pay their expenses. Then they can shave their heads.*
Do this and it will prove to everyone that the things they have heard about you
are not true. They will see that you obey the law of Moses in your own life. 25We
have already sent a letter to the non-Jewish believers. The letter said: 'Don't
eat food that has been given to idols.* Don't eat meat from animals that have been
strangled (choked) or any meat that still has the blood in it. Don't do any kind
of sexual sin.'" 26So Paul took the four men with him. The next day, Paul shared
in their cleansing (washing) ceremony.* Then he went to the temple* area. He announced
the time when the days of the cleansing ceremony would be finished. On the last
day an offering would be given for each of the men.

27The seven days were almost finished. But some Jews from Asia* saw Paul in the
temple* area. They caused all the people to be upset, and they grabbed Paul. 28They
shouted, "You Jewish men, help us! This is the man who is teaching things that are
against the law of Moses, against our people, and against this place (the temple).
This man is teaching these things to all people everywhere. And now he has brought
some Greek (non-Jewish) men into the temple yard! He has made this holy place unclean!"
29(The Jews said this because they had seen Trophimus with Paul in Jerusalem. Trophimus
was a [Greek] man from Ephesus. The Jews thought that Paul had taken him into the
holy area of the temple.) 30All the people in Jerusalem became very upset. They
all ran and grabbed Paul. They dragged him out of the holy area of the temple.*
The temple gates were closed immediately. 31The people were trying to kill Paul.
The commander of the Roman army in Jerusalem learned that there was trouble in
the whole city. 32Immediately the commander went to the place where the people were.
He brought some army officers* and soldiers with him. The people saw the commander
and his soldiers. So they stopped beating Paul. 33The commander went to Paul and
arrested him. The commander told his soldiers to tie Paul with two chains. Then
the commander asked, "Who is this man? What has he done wrong?" 34Some people there
were yelling one thing and other people were yelling other things. Because of all
this confusion and shouting, the commander could not learn the truth about what
had happened. So the commander told the soldiers to take Paul to the army building.
35-36All the people were following them. When the soldiers came to the steps, they
had to carry Paul. They did this [to protect Paul], because the people were ready
to hurt him. The people shouted, "Kill him!"

37The soldiers were ready to take Paul into the army building. But Paul spoke to
the commander. Paul asked, "Do I have the right to say something to you?" The commander
said, "Oh, you speak Greek? 38Then you are not the man I thought you were? I thought
you were the Egyptian man who started some trouble against the government not long
ago. That Egyptian man led 4,000 killers out to the desert." 39Paul said, "No, I
am a Jewish man from Tarsus. Tarsus is in the country of Cilicia. I am a citizen
of that important city. Please, let me speak to the people." 40The commander let
Paul speak to the people. So Paul stood on the steps. He made signs with his hands
so that the people would be quiet. The people became quiet and Paul spoke to them.
He used the Jewish language.*

Quick Thought:

Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with
meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the
word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:21-22 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 10:28-31
Peter began to say to Him (to Jesus), "Behold, we have left everything and followed
You."
Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers
or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's
sake, but that he shall receive a hundred times as much now in the present age,
houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions;
and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first, will be last; and
the last, first." Mark 10:28-31 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 5:31-37
"If I (Jesus) alone bear witness of Myself, My testimony is not true. There is another
who bears witness of Me, and I know that the testimony which He bears of Me is true.

"You have sent to John (the baptizer), and he has borne witness to the truth. But
the witness which I receive is not from man, but I say these things that you may
be saved. He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing
to rejoice for a while in his light.

"But the witness which I have is greater than {that of} John (the baptizer); for
the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish, the very works that I do,
bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

"And the Father who sent Me, He has borne witness of Me. You have neither heard
His voice at any time, nor seen His form." John 5:31-37 (NAS)

Paul Goes to Jerusalem
211We all said good-bye to the elders.* Then we sailed away. We sailed straight
to Cos island. The next day, we went to the island of Rhodes. From Rhodes we went
to Patara. 2At Patara we found a ship that was going to the area of Phoenicia. We
went on the ship and sailed away. 3We sailed near the island of Cyprus. We could
see it on the north side, but we did not stop. We sailed to the country of Syria.
We stopped at the city of Tyre because the ship needed to unload its cargo there.
4We found some followers [of Jesus] in Tyre, and we stayed with them for seven days.
They warned Paul not to go to Jerusalem because of what the Holy Spirit* had told
them. 5But when we finished our visit, we left. We continued our trip. All the followers
[of Jesus], even the women and children, came outside the city with us to say good-bye.
We all kneeled down on the beach and prayed. 6Then we said good-bye and got on the
ship. The followers went home.

7We continued our trip from Tyre and went to the city of Ptolemais. We greeted the
brothers (believers) there and stayed with them one day. 8The next day we left Ptolemais
and went to the city of Caesarea. We went into the home of Philip and stayed with
him. Philip had the work of telling the Good News.* He was one of the seven (helpers).*
9He had four daughters who were not married. These daughters had the gift of prophesying.*
10After we had been there for many days, a prophet* named Agabus came from Judea.
11He came to us and borrowed Paul's belt. Then Agabus used the belt to tie his own
hands and feet. Agabus said, "The Holy Spirit* tells me, 'This is how the Jews in
Jerusalem will tie the man who wears this belt.* Then they will give him to the
non-Jewish people.'" 12We all heard these words. So we and the other followers [of
Jesus] there begged (asked) Paul not to go to Jerusalem. 13But Paul said, "Why are
you crying? Why are you making me so sad? I am ready to be tied in Jerusalem. I
am also ready to die for the name of the Lord Jesus!" 14We could not persuade him
to stay away from Jerusalem. So we stopped begging him and said, "We pray that what
the Lord wants will be done."

15After this, we got ready and left for Jerusalem. 16Some of the followers [of Jesus]
from Caesarea went with us. These followers took us to the home of Mnason, a man
from Cyprus. Mnason was one of the first people to be a follower [of Jesus]. They
took us to his home so that we could stay with him.

4th Sunday in July
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Acts 22:1-16

"Brethren and fathers, hear my defense which I (Paul) now offer to you." And when
they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew dialect, they became even more
quiet; and he said, "I (Paul) am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up
in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers,
being zealous for God, just as you all are today. And I persecuted this Way to the
death, binding and putting both men and women into prisons, as also the high priest
and all the Council of the elders can testify. From them I also received letters
to the brethren, and started off for Damascus in order to bring even those who
were there to Jerusalem as prisoners to be punished.

"And it came about that as I was on my way, approaching Damascus about noontime,
a very bright light suddenly flashed from heaven all around me, and I fell to the
ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?'
And I answered, 'Who art Thou, Lord?' And He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene,
whom you are persecuting.' And those who were with me beheld the light, to be sure,
but did not understand the voice of the One who was speaking to me.

"And I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, 'Arise and go on
into Damascus; and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you
to do.' But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was
led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus. And a certain
Ananias, a man who was devout by the standard of the Law, and well spoken of by
all the Jews who lived there, came to me, and standing near said to me, 'Brother
Saul, receive your sight!' And at that very time I looked up at him.

"And he said, 'The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to
see the Righteous One, and to hear an utterance from His mouth. For you will be
a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now why do you
delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' "
Acts 22:1-16 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Questions:

Paul the apostle spoke about how on his way to Damascus, someone appeared to him
on the road. Who was it who spoke to Paul on the road?

Jesus told Paul to go to Damascus so that Paul could be told all that was appointed
for him to do. Ananias came to Paul in Damascus and restored his sight, telling
him to do what in order to wash away his sins?

Teach your son
and punish him when he is
wrong. That is the only hope. If you refuse to do
this, then you are helping him destroy himself.

A person with a
short temper must pay
the price. The more you get him out of
trouble, the worse he becomes.
Listen to advice
and accept discipline.
Then you will become wise.

People get a lot
of ideas, but only the
Lord's plan will happen. Proverbs 19:18-21 (ERV)

To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed;
let not my enemies triumph over me. Psalm 25:1-2 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 10:23-27
And Jesus, looking around, said to His disciples, "How hard it will be for those
who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"
And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to
them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man
to enter the kingdom of God."
And they were even more astonished and said to Him, "Then who can be saved?" Looking
upon them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things
are possible with God." Mark 10:23-27 (NAS)

John 5:28-30
"Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs
shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection
of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

"I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just,
because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." John 5:28-30

Paul Speaks to the Elders from Ephesus
17In Miletus Paul sent a message back to Ephesus. Paul invited the elders* (leaders)
of the church in Ephesus to come to him. 18When the elders came, Paul said to them,
"You know about my life from the first day I came to Asia.* You know the way I lived
all the time I was with you. 19The Jews planned things against me. This gave me
much trouble, and I often cried. But you know that I always served the Lord. I never
thought about myself first. 20I always did what was best for you. I told you the
Good News* about Jesus in public before the people and also taught in your homes.
21I told all people--Jewish people and Greek (non-Jewish) people--to change their
hearts and turn to God. I told them all to believe in our Lord Jesus. 22But now
I must obey the Holy Spirit* and go to Jerusalem. I don't know what will happen
to me there. 23I know only that in every city the Holy Spirit tells me that troubles
and even jail wait for me [in Jerusalem]. 24I don't care about my own life. The
most important thing is that I finish my work. I want to finish the work that the
Lord Jesus gave me to do--to tell people the Good News about God's grace (kindness).

25"And now listen to me. I know that none of you will ever see me again. All the
time I was with you, I told you the Good News* about the kingdom of God. 26So today
I can tell you one thing that I am sure of: God will not blame me if some of you
are not saved! 27I can say this because I know that I told you everything that
God wants you to know. 28Be careful for yourselves and for all the people that God
has given you. The Holy Spirit* gave you the work of caring for this flock (God's
people). You must be like shepherds to the church (people) of God.* This is the
church that God bought with his own blood.* 29I know that after I leave, some men
will come into your group. They will be like wild wolves. They will try to destroy
the flock (group). 30Also, men from your own group will become bad leaders. They
will begin to teach things that are wrong. They will lead some followers [of Jesus]
away from the truth. 31So be careful! Always remember this: I was with you for three
years. During this time, I never stopped warning you. I taught you night and day.
I often cried for you. 32"Now I am giving you to God. I am depending on the message*
about God's grace (kindness) to make you strong. That message is able to give you
the blessings that God gives to all his holy people. 33When I was with you, I never
wanted anyone's money or fine clothes. 34You know that I always worked to take care
of my own needs and the needs of the people that were with me. 35I always showed
you that you should work like I did and help people that are weak. I taught you
to remember the words of the Lord Jesus. Jesus said, 'You will be happier when
you give than when you receive.'"

36When Paul finished saying these things, he kneeled down and they all prayed together.
37-38They all cried and cried. The men were very sad because Paul had said that
they would never see him again. They hugged Paul and kissed him. They went with
him to the ship to say good-bye.

Daily Bread for July 24

Laziness brings
sleepiness. Trying to hide a problem brings more problems.
If a person obeys
the law, then he protects
himself. But the person that hates to live by
the law will die by the law.
Giving money to
poor people is like
loaning it to the Lord. The Lord will pay you
back for being kind to them. Proverbs 19:15-17 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father
of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will
He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits
of His creatures. James 1:17-18 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 10:17-22
And as He (Jesus) was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before
Him, and began asking Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.
You know the commandments, 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal,
do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.' "
And he said to Him, "Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up." And
looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him, and said to him, "One thing you lack:
go and sell all you possess, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure
in heaven; and come, follow me."
But at these words his face fell, and he went away grieved, for he was one who owned
much property. Mark 10:17-22 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 5:24-27
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me,
has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death
into life.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear shall live.
"For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to
have life in Himself...and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He
is the Son of Man." John 5:24-27 (NAS)

Paul Goes to Macedonia and Greece
201When the trouble stopped, Paul invited the followers [of Jesus] to come visit
him. He said things to comfort them and then told them good-bye. Paul left and
went to the country of Macedonia. 2He said many things to strengthen the followers
[of Jesus] in the different places on his way through Macedonia. Then Paul went
to Greece (Achaia). 3He stayed there three months. He was ready to sail for Syria,
but some Jews were planning something against him. So Paul decided to go back through
Macedonia to Syria. 4Some men were with him. They were: Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus,
from the city of Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus, from the city of Thessalonica,
Gaius, from the city of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus, two men from
Asia.* 5These men went first, ahead of Paul. They waited for us in the city of Troas.
6We sailed from the city of Philippi after the [Jewish] Festival of Unleavened Bread.*
We met these men in Troas five days later. We stayed there seven days.

Paul's Last Visit to Troas

7On Sunday,* we all met together to eat [the Lord's Supper].* Paul talked to the
group. He was planning to leave the next day. Paul continued talking until midnight.
8We were all together in a room upstairs, and there were many lights in the room.
9There was a young man named Eutychus sitting in the window. Paul continued talking,
and Eutychus became very, very sleepy. Finally, Eutychus went to sleep and fell
out of the window. He fell to the ground from the third floor. When the people [went
and] lifted him up, he was dead. 10Paul went down to Eutychus. He kneeled down and
hugged Eutychus. Paul said to the other believers, "Don't worry. He is alive now."
11Paul went upstairs again. He divided the bread and ate. Paul spoke to them a long
time. When he finished talking, it was early morning. Then Paul left. 12The people
took the young man (Eutychus) home. He was alive, and the people were very much
comforted.

The Trip from Troas to Miletus

13We sailed for the city of Assos. We went first, ahead of Paul. He planned to meet
us in Assos and join us on the ship there. Paul told us to do this because he wanted
to go to Assos by land. 14Later, we met Paul at Assos, and then he came on the ship
with us. We all went to the city of Mitylene. 15The next day, we sailed away from
Mitylene. We came to a place near the island of Chios. Then the next day, we sailed
to the island of Samos. A day later, we came to the city of Miletus. 16Paul had
already decided not to stop at Ephesus. He did not want to stay too long in Asia.*
He was hurrying because he wanted to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost* if
possible.

Footnotes: Asia The western part of Asia Minor. Festival of Unleavened Bread An
important Jewish holiday week. In the Old Testament it began the day after Passover,
but by this time the two holidays had become one. Sunday Literally, "first day of
the week," which for the Jews began at sunset on Saturday. But if Luke is using
Greek time here, then the meeting was Sunday night. to eat the Lord's Supper Literally,
"to break bread." This may mean a meal or the Lord's Supper, the special meal Jesus
told his followers to eat to remember Him (Lk. 22:14-20). Pentecost Jewish festival
celebrating the wheat harvest.

Angry words from
a king are like the
roars of a lion. But compliments from him are
like a gentle rain falling softly on the grass.

A foolish son can
bring a flood of
troubles to his father. And a nagging wife is
like water that won't stop dripping.
People get houses
and money from their
parents. But a good wife is a gift from the Lord. Proverbs 19:12-14 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness
from the God of his salvation. Psalm 24:4-5 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 10:13-16
And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; and the disciples
rebuked them.
But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children
to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall
not enter it at all."
And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands upon them.
Mark 10:13-16 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 5:19-23
Jesus therefore answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the
Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing;
for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

"For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing;
and greater works than these will He show Him, that you may marvel.

"For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also
gives life to whom He wishes.

"For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,
in order that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does
not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him." John 5:19-23 (NAS)
