    ​AUDIO BLOG

    Jesus has Passover, The Last Supper, with His apostles, just hours before His crucifixion, as written in the Books of Luke and John:

    Luke 22

    1 "Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

    2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

    3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

    4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

    5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

    6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

    7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

    8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

    9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

    10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

    11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

    12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

    13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

    14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

    15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

    16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

    17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

    18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

    19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

    20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

    ​21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

    22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

    23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

    24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

    25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

    26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

    27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

    28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

    29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

    30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

    32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

    33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

    34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.



    John 13

    1     "Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

    2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

    3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

    4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

    5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

    6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

    7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

    8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

    9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

    10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

    11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

    12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

    13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

    14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

    15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

    16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

    ​    17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

    18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

    19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

    20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

    21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

    22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

    23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

    24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

    25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

    26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

    27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

    28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

    29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

    30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
    ​
    31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him."


    ​Amen.

    "JESUS' PASSOVER/LAST SUPPER (MATTHEW AND MARK)" AUDIO BLOG


    ​Jesus has Passover, The Last Supper, with His apostles, just hours before His crucifixion, as written in the Books of Matthew and Mark:

    Matthew 26

    1 "And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

    2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

    3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

    4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

    5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

    6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

    7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

    8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

    9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

    10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

    11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

    12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

    13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

    14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

    15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

    16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

    17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

    18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

    19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover."
    ​


    Mark 14

    1 ​"After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

    2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

    3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

    4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

    5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

    6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

    7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

    8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

    9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

    10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.

    11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

    12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

    13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

    14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

    15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

    16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

    17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

    18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

    19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

    20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

    21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

    22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

    23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

    24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

    25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

    26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

    27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

    28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee."

    Amen.

    "EXODUS CHAPTER 12: PASSOVER" AUDIO BLOG

    The Jewish Holiday, Passover: Where does it come from?

    Exodus 12

    1 "And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,

    2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

    3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

    4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

    5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

    6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

    7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

    8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

    9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

    10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

    11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover.

    12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

    13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

    14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever."

    Christians do not typically celebrate Passover, because we have the blood of Jesus Christ marking the lintel of our doors.

    ​Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    "PALM SUNDAY" AUDIO BLOG

    Palm Sunday: Jesus fulfilled prophecy leading up to His crucifixion by riding into Jerusalem on an ass, and His followers laid branches of trees, palms, on the ground before Him, to honor and worship Him.

    As written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John:

    Matthew 21:1-9

    1 "And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

    ​    2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.

    3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

    4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

    5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

    6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

    7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

    8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

    9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."



    Mark 11:1-10

    1 "And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

    2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

    3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

    4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

    5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

    6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

    7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

    8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

    9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

    10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest."


    Luke 19:28-30

    28 "And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

    29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

    30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

    31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

    ​32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

    33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

    34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

    35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

    36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

    37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

    38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."


    John 12:12-18

    12 "On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

    13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

    14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

    15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

    16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

    17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

    18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle."

    Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    Jesus changes water into wine at the wedding feast.

    John 2:1-11

    1 "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

    2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

    3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

    4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

    5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

    6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

    7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

    8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

    9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

    10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

    11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him."


    Jesus heals a royal official's son at Capernaum.

    John 4:46-51

    46 "So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

    47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

    48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

    49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

    50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

    51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth."


    Jesus heals a paralyzed man at the pools of Bethesda.

    John 5:1-9

    1 "After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

    2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

    3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

    4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

    5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

    6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

    7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

    8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

    9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath."


    Jesus restores the sight of a man born blind.

    John 9:1-38

    1 "And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

    2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

    3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

    4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

    5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

    6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

    7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

    8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

    9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

    10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

    11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

    12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

    13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

    14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

    15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

    16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

    17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

    18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

    19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

    20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

    21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

    22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

    23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

    24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

    25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

    26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

    27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

    28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

    29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

    30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

    31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

    32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

    33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

    34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

    35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

    36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

    37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

    38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him."


    Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead.

    John 11:1-46

    1 "Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

    2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

    3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

    4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

    5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

    6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

    7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

    8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

    9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

    10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

    11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

    12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

    13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

    14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

    15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

    16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

    17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

    18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

    19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

    20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

    21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

    22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

    23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

    24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

    25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

    26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

    27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

    28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

    29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

    30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

    31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

    32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

    33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

    34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

    35 Jesus wept.

    36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

    37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

    38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

    39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

    40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

    41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

    42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

    43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

    44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

    45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

    46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done."


    Jesus causes Simon Peter to catch many fish, 153

    John 21:1-14

    1 "After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

    2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

    3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

    4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

    5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

    6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

    7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

    8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

    9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

    10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

    11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

    12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

    13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

    14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead."


    John 21:25 "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

    Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    Jesus tells His followers that they will fish for people.

    Luke 5:1-11

    1 "And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

    2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

    3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

    4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

    5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

    6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

    7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

    8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

    9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

    10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

    11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him."


    Jesus raised the widow's son from the dead.

    Luke 7:11-17

    11 "And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

    12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

    13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

    14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

    15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

    16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

    17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about."

    Luke 8:43-48

    43 "And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

    44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

    45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

    46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

    47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

    48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace."

    10 "And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

    11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

    12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

    13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

    14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

    15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

    16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

    17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him."


    Jesus heals a man of abnormal swelling.

    1 "And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

    2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

    3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

    4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;"

    12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

    13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

    14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

    15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

    16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

    17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

    18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

    19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole."

    7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."
