The Crowd | |
6 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. | |
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. | |
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. | |
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. | |
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: | |
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. | |
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. | |
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. | |
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. | |
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. | |
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. | |
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. | |
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, | |
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. | |
19 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. | |
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, | |
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. | |
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. | |
5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! | |
6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. | |
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. | |
4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; | |
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. | |
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; | |
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. | |
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. | |
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. | |
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: | |
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. | |
9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: | |
10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. | |
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. |
