2 Kings 4.0: 4 2 Kings 4.1: 1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.” 2 Kings 4.2: 2 Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me: what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.” 2 Kings 4.3: 3 Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers. 2 Kings 4.4: 4 Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.” 2 Kings 4.5: 5 So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil. 2 Kings 4.6: 6 When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing. 2 Kings 4.7: 7 Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” 2 Kings 4.8: 8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread. 2 Kings 4.9: 9 She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually. 2 Kings 4.10: 10 Please let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.” 2 Kings 4.11: 11 One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there. 2 Kings 4.12: 12 He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him. 2 Kings 4.13: 13 He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.” 2 Kings 4.14: 14 He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.” 2 Kings 4.15: 15 He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door. 2 Kings 4.16: 16 He said, “At this season, when the time comes around, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.” 2 Kings 4.17: 17 The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her. 2 Kings 4.18: 18 When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers. 2 Kings 4.19: 19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.” 2 Kings 4.20: 20 When he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died. 2 Kings 4.21: 21 She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out. 2 Kings 4.22: 22 She called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.” 2 Kings 4.23: 23 He said, “Why would you want go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.” 2 Kings 4.24: 24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.” 2 Kings 4.25: 25 So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite. 2 Kings 4.26: 26 Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.” 2 Kings 4.27: 27 When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone; for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me.” 2 Kings 4.28: 28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?” 2 Kings 4.29: 29 Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.” 2 Kings 4.30: 30 The child’s mother said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her. 2 Kings 4.31: 31 Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.” 2 Kings 4.32: 32 When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed. 2 Kings 4.33: 33 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh. 2 Kings 4.34: 34 He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm. 2 Kings 4.35: 35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 2 Kings 4.36: 36 He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.” 2 Kings 4.37: 37 Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out. 2 Kings 4.38: 38 Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.” 2 Kings 4.39: 39 One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them. 2 Kings 4.40: 40 So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out, and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it. 2 Kings 4.41: 41 But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot. 2 Kings 4.42: 42 A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. He said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.” 2 Kings 4.43: 43 His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give the people, that they may eat; for Yahweh says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’” 2 Kings 4.44: 44 So he set it before them, and they ate, and had some left over, according to Yahweh’s word. 2 Kings 21.0: 21 2 Kings 21.1: 1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. 2 Kings 21.2: 2 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel. 2 Kings 21.3: 3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them. 2 Kings 21.4: 4 He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.” 2 Kings 21.5: 5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house. 2 Kings 21.6: 6 He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger. 2 Kings 21.7: 7 He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which Yahweh said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever; 2 Kings 21.8: 8 I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.” 2 Kings 21.9: 9 But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel. 2 Kings 21.10: 10 Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying, 2 Kings 21.11: 11 “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols; 2 Kings 21.12: 12 therefore Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle. 2 Kings 21.13: 13 I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 2 Kings 21.14: 14 I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies, 2 Kings 21.15: 15 because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’” 2 Kings 21.16: 16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. 2 Kings 21.17: 17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Kings 21.18: 18 Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place. 2 Kings 21.19: 19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 2 Kings 21.20: 20 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as Manasseh his father did. 2 Kings 21.21: 21 He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them; 2 Kings 21.22: 22 and he abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh. 2 Kings 21.23: 23 The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house. 2 Kings 21.24: 24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place. 2 Kings 21.25: 25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Kings 21.26: 26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place. John 13.0: 13 John 13.1: 1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. John 13.2: 2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, John 13.3: 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God, John 13.4: 4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist. John 13.5: 5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. John 13.6: 6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” John 13.7: 7 Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.” John 13.8: 8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.” John 13.9: 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!” John 13.10: 10 Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.” John 13.11: 11 For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, “You are not all clean.” John 13.12: 12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? John 13.13: 13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am. John 13.14: 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. John 13.15: 15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you. John 13.16: 16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him. John 13.17: 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. John 13.18: 18 I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’ John 13.19: 19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he. John 13.20: 20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.” John 13.21: 21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.” John 13.22: 22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke. John 13.23: 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast. John 13.24: 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.” John 13.25: 25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast, asked him, “Lord, who is it?” John 13.26: 26 Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. John 13.27: 27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” John 13.28: 28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him. John 13.29: 29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. John 13.30: 30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night. John 13.31: 31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. John 13.32: 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately. John 13.33: 33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you. John 13.34: 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. John 13.35: 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13.36: 36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.” John 13.37: 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” John 13.38: 38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times. Romans 13.0: 13 Romans 13.1: 1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Romans 13.2: 2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment. Romans 13.3: 3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority, Romans 13.4: 4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil. Romans 13.5: 5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. Romans 13.6: 6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing. Romans 13.7: 7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Romans 13.8: 8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. Romans 13.9: 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Romans 13.10: 10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13.11: 11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed. Romans 13.12: 12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light. Romans 13.13: 13 Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy. Romans 13.14: 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
