Haggai 2.15: 15 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh’s temple.
Haggai 2.16: 16 Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.
Haggai 2.17: 17 I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says Yahweh.
Haggai 2.18: 18 ‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid, consider it.
Haggai 2.19: 19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”

John 4.5: 5 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
John 4.6: 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
John 4.7: 7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
John 4.8: 8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
John 4.9: 9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
John 4.10: 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
John 4.11: 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
John 4.12: 12 Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
John 4.13: 13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
John 4.14: 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
John 4.15: 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
John 4.16: 16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
John 4.17: 17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
John 4.18: 18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
John 4.19: 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
John 4.20: 20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
John 4.21: 21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
John 4.22: 22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
John 4.23: 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
John 4.24: 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
John 4.25: 25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
John 4.26: 26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
John 4.27: 27 At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
John 4.28: 28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
John 4.29: 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?”
John 4.30: 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
John 4.31: 31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
John 4.32: 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
John 4.33: 33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
John 4.34: 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
John 4.35: 35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
John 4.36: 36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
John 4.37: 37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
John 4.38: 38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
John 4.39: 39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I did.”
John 4.40: 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
John 4.41: 41 Many more believed because of his word.
John 4.42: 42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
John 4.43: 43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
John 4.44: 44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
John 4.45: 45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
John 4.46: 46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
John 4.47: 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
John 4.48: 48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
John 4.49: 49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
John 4.50: 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
John 4.51: 51 As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
John 4.52: 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
John 4.53: 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
John 4.54: 54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
John 21.0:
21
John 21.1: 1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
John 21.2: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
John 21.3: 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.”
They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
John 21.4: 4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
John 21.5: 5 Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?”
They answered him, “No.”
John 21.6: 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”
They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
John 21.7: 7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!”
So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
John 21.8: 8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
John 21.9: 9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
John 21.10: 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
John 21.11: 11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
John 21.12: 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!”
None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
John 21.13: 13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
John 21.14: 14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
John 21.15: 15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.”
He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
John 21.16: 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.”
He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
John 21.17: 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?”
Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
John 21.18: 18 Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
John 21.19: 19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
John 21.20: 20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
John 21.21: 21 Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
John 21.22: 22 Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
John 21.23: 23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
John 21.24: 24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
John 21.25: 25 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
Sirach 37.0:
37
Sirach 37.1: 1 Every friend will say, I also am his friend:
But there is a friend, which is only a friend in name.
Sirach 37.2: 2 Is there not a grief in it even to death,
When a companion and friend is turned to enmity?
Sirach 37.3: 3 O wicked imagination, whence came you rolling in
To cover the dry land with deceitfulness?
Sirach 37.4: 4 There is a companion, which rejoices in the gladness of a friend,
But in time of affliction will be against him.
Sirach 37.5: 5 There is a companion, which for the belly’s sake labors with his friend,
In the face of battle will take up the buckler.
Sirach 37.6: 6 Forget not a friend in your soul;
And be not unmindful of him in your riches.
Sirach 37.7: 7 Every counselor extols counsel;
But there is that counsels for himself.
Sirach 37.8: 8 Let your soul beware of a counselor,
And know you before what is his interest
(For he will take counsel for himself);
Lest he cast the lot upon you,
Sirach 37.9: 9 And say to you, Your way is good:
And he will stand near you, to see what will happen to you.
Sirach 37.10: 10 Take not counsel with one that looks askance at you;
And hide your counsel from such as are jealous of you.
Sirach 37.11: 11 Take not counsel with a woman about her rival;
Neither with a coward about war;
Nor with a merchant about exchange;
Nor with a buyer about selling;
Nor with an envious man about thankfulness;
Nor with an unmerciful man about kindliness;
Nor with a sluggard about any kind of work;
Nor with a hireling in your house about finishing his work;
Nor with an idle servant about much business:
Give not heed to these in any matter of counsel.
Sirach 37.12: 12 But rather be continually with a godly man,
Whom you shall have known to be a keeper of the commandments,
Who in his soul is as your own soul,
And who will grieve with you, if you shall miscarry.
Sirach 37.13: 13 And make the counsel of your heart to stand;
For there is none more faithful to you than it.
Sirach 37.14: 14 For a man’s soul is sometimes wont to bring him tidings,
More than seven watchmen that sit on high on a watch-tower.
Sirach 37.15: 15 And above all this entreat the Most High,
That he may direct your way in truth.
Sirach 37.16: 16 Let reason be the beginning of every work,
And let counsel go before every action.
Sirach 37.17: 17 As a token of the changing of the heart,
Sirach 37.18: 18 four manner of things do rise up,
Good and evil, life and death;
And that which rules over them continually is the tongue.
Sirach 37.19: 19 There is one that is shrewd and the instructor of many,
And yet is unprofitable to his own soul.
Sirach 37.20: 20 There is one that is subtle in words, and is hated;
He shall be destitute of all food:
Sirach 37.21: 21 For grace was not given him from the Lord;
Because he is deprived of all wisdom.
Sirach 37.22: 22 There is one that is wise to his own soul;
And the fruits of his understanding are trustworthy in the mouth.
Sirach 37.23: 23 A wise man will instruct his own people;
And the fruits of his understanding are trustworthy.
Sirach 37.24: 24 A wise man shall be filled with blessing;
And all those who see him shall call him happy.
Sirach 37.25: 25 The life of man is counted by days;
And the days of Israel are innumerable.
Sirach 37.26: 26 The wise man shall inherit confidence among his people,
And his name shall live forever.
Sirach 37.27: 27 My son, prove your soul in your life,
And see what is evil for it, and give not that to it.
Sirach 37.28: 28 For all things are not profitable for all men,
Neither has every soul pleasure in every thing.
Sirach 37.29: 29 Be not insatiable in any luxury,
And be not greedy on the things that you eatest.
Sirach 37.30: 30 For in multitude of meats there shall be disease,
And surfeiting shall come near to colic.
Sirach 37.31: 31 Because of surfeiting have many perished;
But he that takes heed shall prolong his life.
