7:11

Now at the Feast the Jews were watching for him and asking, "Where is that man?"

7:12

Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others replied, "No, he deceives the people."

7:13

But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the Jews.

7:14

Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.

7:15

The Jews were amazed and asked, "How did this man get such learning without having studied?"

7:16

Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.

7:17

If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.

7:18

He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

7:19

Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

7:20

"You are demon-possessed," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?"

22:3

"I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. Under Gamaliel I was thoroughly trained in the law of our fathers and was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.

22:4

I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison,

9:1

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest

9:2

and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus , so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem .

9:3

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.

9:4

He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

9:5

"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied.

9:6

"Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

9:7

The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone.

9:8

Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus .

9:9

For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

9:17

Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

9:18

Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, ¹⁹and after taking some food, he regained his strength.

1:15

But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased

1:16

to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man,

1:17

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus .

1:11

I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up.

1:12

I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

28:20

and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

28:19

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

2:16

If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?

2:17

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

8:1

Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

6:38

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

4:6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

4:7

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

16:20

Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
