| Schrift | 1 John 1 1 Samuel 1 1 Thessalonians 5 1 Timothy 2 Handelingen 6 Lucas 11 Lucas 6 Marcus 11 Marcus 13 Marcus 14 Matthew 5 Matthew 6 Psalms 5 Psalms 54 Psalms 6 Romans 8 1 Thessalonians 51 Maar wat de tijden en de gelegenheden betreft, broeders, is het voor u niet nodig dat men u schrijft. 2 Want u weet zelf heel goed dat de dag van de Heere komt als een dief in de nacht. 3 Want wanneer zij zullen zeggen: Er is vrede en veiligheid, dan zal een onverwacht verderf hun overkomen, zoals de barensweeën een zwangere vrouw, en zij zullen het beslist niet ontvluchten. 4 Maar u, broeders, bent niet in duisternis, zodat die dag u als een dief zou overvallen. 5 U bent allen kinderen van het licht en kinderen van de dag. Wij zijn niet van de nacht en ook niet van de duisternis. 6 Laten wij dan niet, evenals de anderen, slapen, maar laten wij waakzaam en nuchter zijn. 7 Want zij die slapen, slapen 's nachts en zij die dronken zijn, zijn 's nachts dronken. 8 Maar laten wij, die van de dag zijn, nuchter zijn, bekleed met het borstharnas van geloof en liefde, en met de hoop op de zaligheid als helm. 9 Want God heeft ons niet bestemd tot toorn, maar tot het verkrijgen van de zaligheid, door onze Heere Jezus Christus, 10 Die voor ons gestorven is, opdat wij, hetzij wij waken, hetzij wij slapen, samen met Hem zouden leven. 11 Bemoedig elkaar daarom, en bouw de één de ander op, zoals u trouwens al doet. 12 En wij vragen u, broeders, hen te erkennen die onder u arbeiden, u leiding geven in de Heere en u terechtwijzen, 13 en hen uitermate hoog te achten in liefde, om hun werk. Leef in vrede met elkaar. 14 En wij roepen u ertoe op, broeders, hen die ordeloos leven terecht te wijzen, de moedelozen te bemoedigen, de zwakken te ondersteunen, en met allen geduld te hebben. 15 Pas op dat niemand een ander kwaad met kwaad vergeldt, maar jaag altijd het goede na, én voor elkaar én voor allen. 16 Verblijd u altijd. 17 Bid zonder ophouden. 18 Dank God in alles. Want dit is de wil van God in Christus Jezus voor u. 19 Blus de Geest niet uit. 20 Veracht de profetieën niet. 21 Beproef alle dingen, behoud het goede. 22 Onthoud u van elke vorm van kwaad. 23 En moge de God van de vrede Zelf u geheel en al heiligen, en mogen uw geheel oprechte geest, de ziel en het lichaam onberispelijk bewaard worden bij de komst van onze Heere Jezus Christus. 24 Hij Die u roept, is getrouw: Hij zal het ook doen. 25 Broeders, bid voor ons. 26 Groet alle broeders met een heilige kus. 27 Ik bezweer u bij de Heere dat deze brief aan alle heilige broeders voorgelezen wordt. 28 De genade van onze Heere Jezus Christus zij met u. Amen. 1 Timothy 21 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. 11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. Acts 61 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them. 7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith. 8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. 10 But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. 11 Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they set up false witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel. Luke 111 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.” 5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” 14 Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,” 16 while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 24 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.” 27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” 29 When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. 30 For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. 35 Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.” 37 While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. 38 The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. 39 And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. 42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.” 45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” 46 And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ 50 so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. 52 Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” 53 As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things, 54 lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say. Luke 61 On a Sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” 5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.” 6 On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. 9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” 10 And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus. 12 In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. 13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles: 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. 17 And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all. 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 22 “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. 24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25 “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26 “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets. 27 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. 32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. 37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” 39 He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye. 43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. 46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? 47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.” Mark 111 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” 11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. 12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. 15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying 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 den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city. 20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” 27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” Mark 131 And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 3 And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” 5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything out, 16 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 17 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray that it may not happen in winter. 19 For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 21 And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand. 24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. 28 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 32 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— 36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” Mark 141 It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him, 2 for they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar from the people.” 3 And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. 4 There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that? 5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they scolded her. 6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. 8 She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. 9 And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.” 10 Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him. 12 And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 17 And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18 And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” 19 They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20 He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 22 And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24 And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” 26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” 29 Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” 30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31 But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same. 32 And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” 43 And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45 And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, “Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47 But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 And they all left him and fled. 51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, 52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked. 53 And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the guards and warming himself at the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole Council were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none. 56 For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree. 57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” 61 But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? 64 You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they all condemned him as deserving death. 65 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him with blows. 66 And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” 68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway and the rooster crowed. 69 And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” 70 But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” 71 But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” 72 And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept. Matthew 51 Toen Jezus de menigte zag, ging Hij de berg op, en nadat Hij was gaan zitten, kwamen Zijn discipelen bij Hem. 2 En Hij opende Zijn mond en onderwees hen. Hij zei: 3 Zalig zijn de armen van geest, want van hen is het Koninkrijk der hemelen. 4 Zalig zijn zij die treuren, want zij zullen vertroost worden. 5 Zalig zijn de zachtmoedigen, want zij zullen de aarde beërven. 6 Zalig zijn zij die hongeren en dorsten naar de gerechtigheid, want zij zullen verzadigd worden. 7 Zalig zijn de barmhartigen, want aan hen zal barmhartigheid bewezen worden. 8 Zalig zijn de reinen van hart, want zij zullen God zien. 9 Zalig zijn de vredestichters, want zij zullen Gods kinderen genoemd worden. 10 Zalig zijn zij die vervolgd worden om de gerechtigheid, want van hen is het Koninkrijk der hemelen. 11 Zalig bent u als men u smaadt en vervolgt, en door te liegen allerlei kwaad tegen u spreekt, omwille van Mij. 12 Verblijd en verheug u, want uw loon is groot in de hemelen, want zo hebben ze de profeten vervolgd die er vóór u geweest zijn. 13 U bent het zout van de aarde; maar als het zout zijn smaak verloren heeft, waarmee zal het gezouten worden? Het deugt nergens meer voor dan om weggeworpen en door de mensen vertrapt te worden. 14 U bent het licht van de wereld. Een stad die boven op een berg ligt, kan niet verborgen zijn. 15 En ook steekt men geen lamp aan en zet die onder de korenmaat, maar op de standaard, en hij schijnt voor allen die in het huis zijn. 16 Laat uw licht zo schijnen voor de mensen, dat zij uw goede werken zien en uw Vader, Die in de hemelen is, verheerlijken. 17 Denk niet dat Ik gekomen ben om de Wet of de Profeten af te schaffen; Ik ben niet gekomen om die af te schaffen, maar te vervullen. 18 Want, voorwaar, Ik zeg u: Totdat de hemel en de aarde voorbijgaan, zal er niet één jota of één tittel van de Wet voorbijgaan, totdat het alles geschied is. 19 Wie dan een van deze geringste geboden afschaft en de mensen zo onderwijst, zal de geringste genoemd worden in het Koninkrijk der hemelen; maar wie ze doet en onderwijst, die zal groot genoemd worden in het Koninkrijk der hemelen. 20 Want Ik zeg u: Als uw gerechtigheid niet overvloediger is dan die van de schriftgeleerden en de Farizeeën, zult u het Koninkrijk der hemelen beslist niet binnengaan. 21 U hebt gehoord dat tegen het voorgeslacht gezegd is: U zult niet doden; en: Wie doodt, zal door de rechtbank schuldig bevonden worden. 22 Maar Ik zeg u: Al wie ten onrechte boos is op zijn broeder, zal schuldig bevonden worden door de rechtbank. En al wie tegen zijn broeder zegt: Raka! zal schuldig bevonden worden door de Raad; maar al wie zegt: Dwaas! die zal schuldig bevonden worden tot het helse vuur. 23 Als u dan uw gave op het altaar offert en u zich daar herinnert dat uw broeder iets tegen u heeft, 24 laat uw gave daar bij het altaar achter en ga heen, verzoen u eerst met uw broeder en kom dan terug en offer uw gave. 25 Stel u zo snel mogelijk welwillend op tegenover uw tegenpartij, terwijl u nog met hem onderweg bent; opdat de tegenpartij u niet misschien aan de rechter overlevert en de rechter u aan de gerechtsdienaar overlevert en u in de gevangenis geworpen wordt. 26 Voorwaar, Ik zeg u: U zult daar beslist niet uitkomen, voordat u de laatste quadrans betaald hebt. 27 U hebt gehoord dat tegen het voorgeslacht gezegd is: U zult geen overspel plegen. 28 Maar Ik zeg u dat al wie naar een vrouw kijkt om haar te begeren, in zijn hart al overspel met haar gepleegd heeft. 29 Als dan uw rechteroog u doet struikelen, ruk het uit en werp het van u weg, want het is beter voor u dat een van uw lichaamsdelen te gronde gaat en niet heel uw lichaam in de hel geworpen wordt. 30 En als uw rechterhand u doet struikelen, hak hem af en werp hem van u weg, want het is beter voor u dat een van uw lichaamsdelen te gronde gaat en niet heel uw lichaam in de hel geworpen wordt. 31 Er is ook gezegd: Wie zijn vrouw verstoot, moet haar een echtscheidingsbrief geven. 32 Maar Ik zeg u dat wie zijn vrouw verstoot om een andere reden dan hoererij, maakt dat zij overspel pleegt; en wie met de verstotene trouwt, pleegt ook overspel. 33 Verder hebt u gehoord dat tegen het voorgeslacht gezegd is: U zult de eed niet breken, maar u zult voor de Heere uw eden houden. 34 Maar Ik zeg u: Zweer in het geheel niet, niet bij de hemel, want dat is de troon van God; 35 niet bij de aarde, want dat is de voetbank van Zijn voeten; en ook niet bij Jeruzalem, want dat is de stad van de grote Koning. 36 Ook bij uw hoofd mag u niet zweren, want u kunt niet één haar wit of zwart maken; 37 maar laat uw woord ja ja zijn en uw nee nee; wat hierboven uitgaat, is uit de boze. 38 U hebt gehoord dat er gezegd is: Oog voor oog en tand voor tand. 39 Ik zeg u echter dat u geen weerstand moet bieden aan de boze; maar wie u op de rechterwang slaat, keer hem ook de andere toe; 40 en als iemand u voor het gerecht wil dagen en uw onderkleding nemen, geef hem dan ook het bovenkleed; 41 en wie u zal dwingen één mijl te gaan, ga er twee met hem. 42 Geef aan hem die iets van u vraagt, en keer u niet af van hem die van u lenen wil. 43 U hebt gehoord dat er gezegd is: U moet uw naaste liefhebben en uw vijand moet u haten. 44 Maar Ik zeg u: Heb uw vijanden lief; zegen hen die u vervloeken; doe goed aan hen die u haten; en bid voor hen die u beledigen en u vervolgen; 45 zodat u kinderen zult zijn van uw Vader, Die in de hemelen is, want Hij laat Zijn zon opgaan over slechte en goede mensen, en laat het regenen over rechtvaardigen en onrechtvaardigen. 46 Want als u hen liefhebt die u liefhebben, wat voor loon hebt u dan? Doen ook de tollenaars niet hetzelfde? 47 En als u alleen uw broeders groet, wat doet u meer dan anderen? Doen ook de tollenaars niet zo? 48 Weest u dan volmaakt, zoals uw Vader, Die in de hemelen is, volmaakt is. Matthew 61 Wees op uw hoede dat u uw liefdegave niet geeft in tegenwoordigheid van de mensen om door hen gezien te worden; anders hebt u geen loon bij uw Vader, Die in de hemelen is. 2 Wanneer u dan een liefdegave geeft, laat het niet voor u uitbazuinen, zoals de huichelaars in de synagogen en op de straten doen, opdat zij door de mensen geëerd zouden worden. Voorwaar, Ik zeg u: Zij hebben hun loon al. 3 Maar als u een liefdegave geeft, laat dan uw linkerhand niet weten wat uw rechterhand doet, 4 zodat uw liefdegave in het verborgene zal zijn; en uw Vader, Die in het verborgene ziet, zal het u in het openbaar vergelden. 5 En wanneer u bidt, zult u niet zijn als de huichelaars; want die zijn er zeer op gesteld om in de synagogen en op de hoeken van de straten te staan bidden om door de mensen gezien te worden. Voorwaar, Ik zeg u dat zij hun loon al hebben. 6 Maar u, wanneer u bidt, ga in uw binnenkamer, sluit uw deur en bid tot uw Vader, Die in het verborgene is; en uw Vader, Die in het verborgene ziet, zal het u in het openbaar vergelden. 7 Als u bidt, gebruik dan geen omhaal van woorden zoals de heidenen, want zij denken dat zij door de veelheid van hun woorden verhoord zullen worden. 8 Word dan aan hen niet gelijk, want uw Vader weet wat u nodig hebt, voordat u tot Hem bidt. 9 Bidt u dan zo: Onze Vader, Die in de hemelen zijt. Uw Naam worde geheiligd. 10 Uw Koninkrijk kome. Uw wil geschiede, zoals in de hemel zo ook op de aarde. 11 Geef ons heden ons dagelijks brood. 12 En vergeef ons onze schulden, zoals ook wij onze schuldenaren vergeven. 13 En leid ons niet in verzoeking, maar verlos ons van de boze. Want van U is het Koninkrijk en de kracht en de heerlijkheid, tot in eeuwigheid. Amen. 14 Want als u de mensen hun overtredingen vergeeft, zal uw hemelse Vader u ook vergeven. 15 Maar als u de mensen hun overtredingen niet vergeeft, zal uw Vader uw overtredingen ook niet vergeven. 16 En wanneer u vast, toon dan geen droevig gezicht, zoals de huichelaars. Zij vervormen namelijk hun gezicht, zodat zij door de mensen gezien worden als zij vasten. Voorwaar, Ik zeg u dat zij hun loon al hebben. 17 Maar u, als u vast, zalf dan uw hoofd en was uw gezicht, 18 zodat het door de mensen niet gezien wordt als u vast, maar door uw Vader, Die in het verborgene is; en uw Vader, Die in het verborgene ziet, zal het u in het openbaar vergelden. 19 Verzamel geen schatten voor u op de aarde, waar mot en roest ze verderven, en waar dieven inbreken en stelen; 20 maar verzamel schatten voor u in de hemel, waar geen mot of roest ze verderft, en waar dieven niet inbreken of stelen; 21 want waar uw schat is, daar zal ook uw hart zijn. 22 De lamp van het lichaam is het oog; als dan uw oog oprecht is, zal heel uw lichaam verlicht zijn; 23 maar als uw oog kwaadaardig is, zal heel uw lichaam duister zijn. Als het licht dat in u is, duisternis is, hoe groot is dan de duisternis zelf! 24 Niemand kan twee heren dienen, want of hij zal de één haten en de ander liefhebben, of hij zal zich aan de één hechten en de ander minachten. U kunt niet God dienen en de mammon. 25 Daarom zeg Ik u: Wees niet bezorgd over uw leven, over wat u eten en wat u drinken zult; ook niet over uw lichaam, namelijk waarmee u zich kleden zult. Is het leven niet meer dan het voedsel en het lichaam meer dan de kleding? 26 Kijk naar de vogels in de lucht: zij zaaien niet en maaien niet, en verzamelen niet in schuren; uw hemelse Vader voedt ze evenwel; gaat u ze niet ver te boven? 27 Wie toch van u kan met bezorgd te zijn één el aan zijn lengte toevoegen? 28 En wat bent u bezorgd over de kleding? Kijk naar de lelies in het veld, hoe ze groeien; ze werken niet en spinnen niet; 29 en Ik zeg u dat zelfs Salomo in al zijn heerlijkheid niet gekleed ging als één van deze. 30 Als God nu het gras op het veld, dat er vandaag is en morgen in de oven geworpen wordt, zo bekleedt, zal Hij u niet veel meer kleden, kleingelovigen? 31 Wees daarom niet bezorgd en zeg niet: Wat zullen wij eten? of: Wat zullen wij drinken? of: Waarmee zullen wij ons kleden? 32 Want al deze dingen zoeken de heidenen. Uw hemelse Vader weet immers dat u al deze dingen nodig hebt. 33 Maar zoek eerst het Koninkrijk van God en Zijn gerechtigheid, en al deze dingen zullen u erbij gegeven worden. 34 Wees dan niet bezorgd over de dag van morgen, want de dag van morgen zal voor zichzelf zorgen; elke dag heeft genoeg aan zijn eigen kwaad. Psalm 51 Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. 2 Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. 3 O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. 4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you. 5 The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. 6 You destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. 7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you. 8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me. 9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. 10 Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you. 11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. 12 For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield. Psalm 541 O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. 2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah 4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. 5 He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them. 6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good. 7 For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies. Psalm 61 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. 2 Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. 3 My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long? 4 Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise? 6 I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. 7 My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes. 8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. 9 The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD accepts my prayer. 10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment. Romans 81 Dus is er nu geen verdoemenis voor hen die in Christus Jezus zijn, die niet naar het vlees wandelen, maar naar de Geest. 2 Want de wet van de Geest van het leven in Christus Jezus heeft mij vrijgemaakt van de wet van de zonde en van de dood. 3 Want wat voor de wet onmogelijk was, krachteloos als zij was door het vlees, dat heeft God gedaan: Hij heeft Zijn eigen Zoon gezonden in een gedaante gelijk aan het zondige vlees en dat omwille van de zonde, en de zonde veroordeeld in het vlees, 4 opdat de rechtvaardige eis van de wet vervuld zou worden in ons, die niet naar het vlees wandelen, maar naar de Geest. 5 Immers, zij die naar het vlees zijn, bedenken de dingen van het vlees, maar zij die naar de Geest zijn, de dingen van de Geest. 6 Want het denken van het vlees is de dood, maar het denken van de Geest is leven en vrede. 7 Immers, het denken van het vlees is vijandschap tegen God. Het onderwerpt zich namelijk niet aan de wet van God, want het kan dat ook niet. 8 En zij die in het vlees zijn, kunnen God niet behagen. 9 Maar u bent niet in het vlees, maar in de Geest, wanneer althans de Geest van God in u woont. Maar als iemand de Geest van Christus niet heeft, die is niet van Hem. 10 Als Christus echter in u is, dan is het lichaam wel dood vanwege de zonde, maar de geest is leven vanwege de gerechtigheid. 11 En als de Geest van Hem Die Jezus uit de doden opgewekt heeft, in u woont, zal Hij Die Christus uit de doden opgewekt heeft, ook uw sterfelijke lichamen levend maken door Zijn Geest, Die in u woont. 12 Welnu, broeders, wij zijn aan het vlees niet verplicht om naar het vlees te leven. 13 Want als u naar het vlees leeft, zult u sterven. Als u echter door de Geest de daden van het lichaam doodt, zult u leven. 14 Immers, zovelen als er door de Geest van God geleid worden, die zijn kinderen van God. 15 Want u hebt niet de Geest van slavernij ontvangen, die opnieuw tot angst leidt, maar u hebt de Geest van aanneming tot kinderen ontvangen, door Wie wij roepen: Abba, Vader! 16 De Geest Zelf getuigt met onze geest dat wij kinderen van God zijn. 17 En als wij kinderen zijn, dan zijn wij ook erfgenamen: erfgenamen van God en mede-erfgenamen van Christus; wanneer wij althans met Hem lijden, opdat wij ook met Hem verheerlijkt worden. 18 Want ik ben ervan overtuigd dat het lijden van de tegenwoordige tijd niet opweegt tegen de heerlijkheid die aan ons geopenbaard zal worden. 19 Met reikhalzend verlangen immers verwacht de schepping het openbaar worden van de kinderen van God. 20 Want de schepping is aan de zinloosheid onderworpen, niet vrijwillig, maar door hem die haar daaraan onderworpen heeft, 21 in de hoop dat ook de schepping zelf zal bevrijd worden van de slavernij van het verderf om te komen tot de vrijheid van de heerlijkheid van de kinderen van God. 22 Want wij weten dat heel de schepping gezamenlijk zucht en gezamenlijk in barensnood verkeert tot nu toe. 23 En dat niet alleen, maar ook wijzelf, die de eerstelingen van de Geest hebben, ook wijzelf zuchten in onszelf, in de verwachting van de aanneming tot kinderen, namelijk de verlossing van ons lichaam. 24 Want in de hoop zijn wij zalig geworden. Hoop nu die gezien wordt, is geen hoop. Immers, wat iemand ziet, waarom zou hij dat nog hopen? 25 Maar als wij hopen wat wij niet zien, dan verwachten wij het met volharding. 26 En evenzo komt ook de Geest onze zwakheden te hulp, want wij weten niet wat wij bidden zullen zoals het behoort. De Geest Zelf echter pleit voor ons met onuitsprekelijke verzuchtingen. 27 En Hij Die de harten doorzoekt, weet wat het denken van de Geest is, omdat Hij naar de wil van God voor de heiligen pleit. 28 En wij weten dat voor hen die God liefhebben, alle dingen meewerken ten goede, voor hen namelijk die overeenkomstig Zijn voornemen geroepen zijn. 29 Want hen die Hij van tevoren gekend heeft, heeft Hij er ook van tevoren toe bestemd om aan het beeld van Zijn Zoon gelijkvormig te zijn, opdat Hij de Eerstgeborene zou zijn onder vele broeders. 30 En hen die Hij er van tevoren toe bestemd heeft, die heeft Hij ook geroepen, en hen die Hij geroepen heeft, die heeft Hij ook gerechtvaardigd, en hen die Hij gerechtvaardigd heeft, die heeft Hij ook verheerlijkt. 31 Wat zullen wij dan over deze dingen zeggen? Als God voor ons is, wie zal tegen ons zijn? 32 Hoe zal Hij, Die zelfs Zijn eigen Zoon niet gespaard maar voor ons allen overgegeven heeft, ons ook met Hem niet alle dingen schenken? 33 Wie zal beschuldigingen inbrengen tegen de uitverkorenen van God? God is het Die rechtvaardigt. 34 Wie is het die verdoemt? Christus is het Die gestorven is, ja wat meer is, Die ook opgewekt is, Die ook aan de rechterhand van God is, Die ook voor ons pleit. 35 Wie zal ons scheiden van de liefde van Christus? Verdrukking, of benauwdheid, of vervolging, of honger, of naaktheid, of gevaar, of zwaard? 36 Zoals geschreven staat: Want omwille van U worden wij de hele dag gedood, wij worden beschouwd als slachtschapen. 37 Maar in dit alles zijn wij meer dan overwinnaars door Hem Die ons heeft liefgehad. 38 Want ik ben ervan overtuigd dat noch dood, noch leven, noch engelen, noch overheden, noch krachten, noch tegenwoordige, noch toekomstige dingen, 39 noch hoogte, noch diepte, noch enig ander schepsel ons zal kunnen scheiden van de liefde van God in Christus Jezus, onze Heere. |
