The Gospels
Gospel of John 20:
Mark 11:
"24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
Matthew 26:
"45Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come,
Matthew 19:
"19 On the evening
of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with
the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders,
Jesus came and stood
among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
20 After he said this,
he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when
they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus
said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending
you.”
22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the
Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are
forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
…If you do
not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
John 2:
John 2:
" When it was
almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14
In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves,
and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
15 So he made a whip
out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and
cattle;
he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned
their tables.
16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of
here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
17 His
disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will
consume me.”
Luke 23:
“33 When they
came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along
with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.
34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they
are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots."
Luke 18:
"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.
3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think,
5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Luke 17:
"Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.
2 It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck
than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.
4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”
Luke 12:
Luke 12:
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.
9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,
but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven."
Luke 10:
Luke 10:
8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.
9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say,
11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’
12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
Mark 11:
"24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
Matthew 26:
"45Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come,
and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs,
sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.”
49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”
Matthew 25:
Matthew 25:
"31 When the
Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will
sit on his glorious throne.
32 All the nations will be gathered
before him, and he will separate the people one from another
as a
shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 He will put the sheep
on his right and the goats on his left."
34 “Then the
King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by
my Father; take your inheritance,
the kingdom prepared for you since
the creation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I
was a stranger and you invited me in,
36 I needed clothes and you
clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and
you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the
righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and
feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38 When did we
see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe
you?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 For I
was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave
me nothing to drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me
in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me,
I was sick and in
prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also
will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison,
and did not help
you?’
45 “He will
reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the
least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they
will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal
life.”
Matthew 19:
“7 Why then,”
they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a
certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Jesus replied, “Moses
permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard.
But it was not this way from the beginning.
9 I tell you that anyone
who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries
another woman commits adultery.”
10 The disciples
said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife,
it is better not to marry.”
11 Jesus replied,
“Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has
been given.
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and
there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—
and there
are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom
of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
Jesus, in Matthew
18:
15 “If your
brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between
the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16 But
if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every
matter may be established by the testimony of two or three
witnesses.’
17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the
church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church,
treat them
as you would a pagan or a tax collector. 1
8 “Truly I tell you,
whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you
loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. "
Matthew 6:
“9 This, then,
is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your
name,
10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not
forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Matthew 5:
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,
24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 5:
Matthew 5:
“31 It has been
said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of
divorce.’ 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife,
except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and
anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
Matthew 5:
Matthew 5:
43 “You have
heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your
enemy.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you,
45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven.
He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on
the righteous and the unrighteous."
