Daily Bread for August 1

The Lord hates
people that cheat other
people using weights and measures that are
not fair.

Even a child
shows that he is good or bad
by the things he does. You can watch that
child and know if he is honest and good.

The Lord gave us
eyes to see with and
ears to hear with--(use
them!) Proverbs 20:10-12 (ERV)

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
life, which the Son of Man shall give to you, for on Him the Father, even God, has
set His seal." John 6:27 (NAS)

Acts 25 - Easy-To-Read Version (ERV)

August 01
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

King James and other versions... [http://bibleabc.net/bible/kjv/act25-1.htm]

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

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

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
Agrippa I.

Daily Bread for July 31

Many people call a
person friend. But it
is really hard to find a person that can really
be trusted.
A good person
lives a good life. And his
children will be blessed.
When the king sits
and judges people, he
must look carefully to separate the evil from
the good.
Can any person
really say that he has
always done his best? Can any person really
say that he has no sin? No! Proverbs 20:6-9 (ERV)

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)

King James and other versions... [http://bibleabc.net/bible/kjv/act24-1.htm]

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

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

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.

Daily Bread for July 30

Any fool can start
an argument. So you
should respect a person who refuses to argue.

A lazy person is
too lazy to plant seeds.
So, at the time of harvest he looks for food
and finds nothing.
Good advice is
like getting water from a
deep well. But a wise person will try hard to
learn from another person. Proverbs 20:3-5 (ERV)

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.

Daily Bread for July 29

Wine and beer
make people lose control
of themselves. They get loud and start to
brag. They become drunk and do foolish things.
The anger of a
king is like the roar of a
lion. If you make the king angry, then you
could lose your life. Proverbs 20:1-2 (ERV)

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)

Acts 23:1-22 - Easy-To-Read Version (ERV)

July 29
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

King James and other versions... [http://bibleabc.net/bible/kjv/act23-1.htm]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
================================================================================

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

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."

Footnotes:Ananias Not the same man named Ananias in Acts 22:12. high priest The

Daily Bread for July 28

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)

New Testament in a Year - July 28

Acts 22 - Easy-To-Read Version (ERV)

July 28

King James and other versions... [http://bibleabc.net/bible/kjv/act22-1.htm]

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

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.

Daily Bread for July 27

Some people are
too lazy to take care of
themselves-they are too lazy to lift their food
from their plate to their mouth!

Some people show
no respect for
anything-those foolish people must be
punished and forced to learn their lesson. But
for a wise person, it's enough just to tell them
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.*

Footnotes: elders A group of men chosen to lead a church. Also called "overseers"
and "pastors" ("shepherds"), they have the work of caring for God's people (Acts
20:28; Eph. 4:11; Tit. 1:7,9). circumcise To cut off the foreskin. This was done
to every Jewish baby boy. It was a mark of the agreement God made with Abraham (Gen.
17:9-14). vow Probably a Nazirite vow, a time of special service that Jews promised
to give to God. cleansing ceremony The special things the Jews did to end the Nazirite
vow. shave their heads To show their vow was finished. idols The false gods that
the non-Jewish people worshiped. cleansing ceremony The special things the Jews
did to end the Nazirite vow. temple The special building in Jerusalem for Jewish
worship. Asia The western part of Asia Minor. army officers Centurions, Roman army
officers who had authority over 100 soldiers. Jewish language Probably Aramaic,
a language like Hebrew that was spoken by the Jews in the first century.
