Exod.19.4

"You have seen what I did to Egypt and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to me.

'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

Exod.19.4

"You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.

Exod.19.4

`You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You know how I brought you to myself and carried you on eagle's wings.

Exod.19.5

If you will listen obediently to what I say and keep my covenant, out of all peoples you'll be my special treasure. The whole Earth is mine to choose from,

Exod.19.5

Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine,

Exod.19.5

Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.

Exod.19.5

Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the nations of the earth; for all the earth belongs to me.

Exod.19.6

but you're special: a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.'"This is what I want you to tell the People of Israel."

Exod.19.6

you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites."

Exod.19.6

And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

Exod.19.7

Moses returned from the mountain and called together the leaders of the people and told them what the LORD had said.

Exod.19.8

The people were unanimous in their response: "Everything GOD says, we will do." Moses took the people's answer back to GOD. [JC]

Exod.19.8

The people all responded together, "We will do everything the LORD has said." So Moses brought their answer back to the LORD.

Then all the people answered together and said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do." So Moses brought back the words of the people to the LORD.

Exod.19.8

They all responded together, "We will certainly do everything the LORD asks of us." So Moses brought the people's answer back to the LORD.

Exod.19.9

GOD said to Moses, "Get ready. I'm about to come to you in a thick cloud so that the people can listen in and trust you completely when I speak with you." Again Moses reported the people's answer to GOD.

Exod.19.9

The LORD said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you." Then Moses told the LORD what the people had said.

Exod.19.9

And the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever." So Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.

Exod.19.9

Then the LORD said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a thick cloud so the people themselves can hear me as I speak to you. Then they will always have confidence in you." Moses told the LORD what the people had said.

Exod.19.10

GOD said to Moses, "Go to the people. For the next two days get these people ready to meet the Holy GOD. Have them scrub their clothes

Exod.19.10

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes.

Exod.19.10

Then the LORD told Moses, "Go down and prepare the people for my visit. Purify them today and tomorrow, and have them wash their clothing.

Exod.19.11

so that on the third day they'll be fully prepared, because on the third day GOD will come down on Mount Sinai and make his presence known to all the people.

Exod.19.11

and be ready by the third day, because on that day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

Exod.19.11

And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

Exod.19.11

Be sure they are ready on the third day, for I will come down upon Mount Sinai as all the people watch.

Exod.19.12

Post boundaries for the people all around, telling them, "Warning! Don't climb the mountain. Don't even touch its edge. Whoever touches the mountain dies--a certain death.

Exod.19.12

Put limits for the people around the mountain and tell them, 'Be careful that you do not go up the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.

Exod.19.12

You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, "Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.

Exod.19.12

Set boundary lines that the people may not pass. Warn them, `Be careful! Do not go up on the mountain or even touch its boundaries. Those who do will certainly die!

Exod.19.13

And no one is to touch that person, he's to be stoned. That's right--stoned. Or shot with arrows, shot to death. Animal or man, whichever--put to death.'"A long blast from the horn will signal that it's safe to climb the mountain."

Exod.19.13

He shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows; not a hand is to be laid on him. Whether man or animal, he shall not be permitted to live.' Only when the ram's horn sounds a long blast may they go up to the mountain."

Exod.19.13

Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain."

Exod.19.13

Any people or animals that cross the boundary must be stoned to death or shot with arrows. They must not be touched by human hands.' The people must stay away from the mountain until they hear one long blast from the ram's horn. Then they must gather at the foot of the mountain."

Exod.19.14

Moses went down the mountain to the people and prepared them for the holy meeting. They gave their clothes a good scrubbing.

Exod.19.14

After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.

Exod.19.14

Then he said to the people, "Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain from sexual relations."

Exod.19.15

And he said to the people, "Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives."

Exod.19.15

He told them, "Get ready for an important event two days from now. And until then, abstain from having sexual intercourse."

Exod.19.16

On the third day at daybreak, there were loud claps of thunder, flashes of lightning, a thick cloud covering the mountain, and an ear-piercing trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp shuddered in fear.

Exod.19.16

On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled.

Exod.19.16

On the morning of the third day, there was a powerful thunder and lightning storm, and a dense cloud came down upon the mountain. There was a long, loud blast from a ram's horn, and all the people trembled.

Exod.19.17

Moses led them out from the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

Exod.19.18

Mount Sinai was all smoke because GOD had come down on it as fire. Smoke poured from it like smoke from a furnace. The whole mountain shuddered in huge spasms.

Exod.19.18

Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, the whole mountain trembled violently,

Exod.19.18

Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

Exod.19.18

All Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the LORD had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain shook with a violent earthquake.

Exod.19.19

The trumpet blasts grew louder and louder. Moses spoke and God answered in thunder.

Exod.19.19

and the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder. Then Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him.

Exod.19.19

And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.

Exod.19.19

As the horn blast grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God thundered his reply for all to hear.

Exod.19.20

GOD descended to the peak of Mount Sinai. GOD called Moses up to the peak and Moses climbed up.

Exod.19.20

The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up

Exod.19.20

Then the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

Exod.19.20

The LORD came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses climbed the mountain.

Exod.19.21

GOD said to Moses, "Go down. Warn the people not to break through the barricades to get a look at GOD lest many of them die.

Exod.19.21

and the LORD said to him, "Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the LORD and many of them perish.

Exod.19.21

And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to gaze at the LORD, and many of them perish.

Exod.19.21

Then the LORD told Moses, "Go back down and warn the people not to cross the boundaries. They must not come up here to see the LORD, for those who do will die.

Exod.19.22

And the priests also, warn them to prepare themselves for the holy meeting, lest GOD break out against them."

Exod.19.22

Even the priests, who approach the LORD, must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them."

Exod.19.22

Also let the priests who come near the LORD consecrate themselves, lest the LORD break out against them."

Exod.19.22

Even the priests who regularly come near to the LORD must purify themselves, or I will destroy them."

Exod.19.23

Moses said to GOD, "But the people can't climb Mount Sinai. You've already warned us well telling us: "Post boundaries around the mountain. Respect the holy mountain.'"

Exod.19.23

Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, 'Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.'"

Exod.19.23

But Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for You warned us, saying, "Set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it."'

Exod.19.23

"But LORD, the people cannot come up on the mountain!" Moses protested. "You already told them not to. You told me to set boundaries around the mountain and to declare it off limits."

Exod.19.24

GOD told him, "Go down and then bring Aaron back up with you. But make sure that the priests and the people don't break through and come up to GOD, lest he break out against them."

Exod.19.24

The LORD replied, "Go down and bring Aaron up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the LORD, or he will break out against them."

Exod.19.24

Then the LORD said to him, "Away! Get down and then come up, you and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest He break out against them."

Exod.19.24

But the LORD said, "Go down anyway and bring Aaron back with you. In the meantime, do not let the priests or the people cross the boundaries to come up here. If they do, I will punish them."

Exod.19.25

So Moses went down to the people. He said to them:

Exod.19.25

So Moses went down to the people and told them.

Exod.19.25

So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.

Exod.19.25

So Moses went down to the people and told them what the LORD had said.

GOD spoke all these words:

Exod.20.1

And God spoke all these words:

Exod.20.1

And God spoke all these words, saying:

"You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;

Exod.20.4

"Do not make idols of any kind, whether in the shape of birds or animals or fish.

Exod.20.5

Don't bow down to them and don't serve them because I am GOD your God, and I'm a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me.

Exod.20.5

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Exod.20.5

you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

Exod.20.5

You must never worship or bow down to them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not share your affection with any other god! I do not leave unpunished the sins of those who hate me, but I punish the children for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth generations.

Exod.20.6

But I'm unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments.

Exod.20.6

but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Exod.20.6

but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Exod.20.6

But I lavish my love on those who love me and obey my commands, even for a thousand generations.

No using the name of GOD your God, in curses or silly banter; GOD won't put up with the irreverant use of his name.

but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to the LORD your God. On that day no one in your household may do any kind of work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you.

Exod.20.11

For in six days GOD made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore GOD blessed the Sabbath day; he set it apart as a holy day.

Exod.20.11

For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Exod.20.18

All the people, experiencing the thunder and lightning, the trumpet blast and the smoking mountain, were afraid--they pulled back and stood at a distance.

Exod.20.18

When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance

Exod.20.18

Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off.

Exod.20.18

When the people heard the thunder and the loud blast of the horn, and when they saw the lightning and the smoke billowing from the mountain, they stood at a distance, trembling with fear.

Exod.20.19

They said to Moses, "You speak to us and we'll listen, but don't have God speak to us or we'll die."

Exod.20.19

and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die."

Exod.20.19

Then they said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die."

Exod.20.19

And they said to Moses, "You tell us what God says, and we will listen. But don't let God speak directly to us. If he does, we will die!"

Exod.20.20

Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. God has come to test you and instill a deep and reverent awe within you so that you won't sin."

Exod.20.20

Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning."

"Don't be afraid," Moses said, "for God has come in this way to show you his awesome power. From now on, let your fear of him keep you from sinning!"

The people kept their distance while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.

Exod.20.21

The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

Exod.20.21

So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was.

Exod.20.21

As the people stood in the distance, Moses entered into the deep darkness where God was.

Exod.20.22

GOD said to Moses, "Give this Message to the People of Israel: "You've experienced firsthand how I spoke with you from Heaven.

And the LORD said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel: You are witnesses that I have spoken to you from heaven.

Exod.20.23

Don't make gods of silver and gods of gold and then set them alongside me.

Exod.20.23

Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.

Exod.20.23

You shall not make anything to be with Me--gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.

Exod.20.23

Remember, you must not make or worship idols of silver or gold.

Exod.20.24

Make me an earthen Altar. Sacrifice your Whole-Burnt-Offerings, your Peace-Offerings, your sheep, and your cattle on it. Every place where I cause my name to be honored in your worship, I'll be there myself and bless you.

Exod.20.24

"'Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.

Exod.20.24

An altar of earth you shall make for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I record My name I will come to you, and I will bless you.

Exod.20.24

"The altars you make for me must be simple altars of earth. Offer on such altars your sacrifices to me--your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Build altars in the places where I remind you who I am, and I will come and bless you there.

Exod.20.25

If you use stones to make my Altar, don't use dressed stones. If you use a chisel on the stones you'll profane the Altar.

Exod.20.25

If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool on it.

Exod.20.25

And if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for if you use your tool on it, you have profaned it.

Exod.20.25

If you build altars from stone, use only uncut stones. Do not chip or shape the stones with a tool, for that would make them unfit for holy use.

Exod.20.26

Don't use steps to climb to my Altar because that will expose your nakedness.' [JC]

Exod.20.26

And do not go up to my altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.'

Exod.20.26

Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.'

Exod.20.26

And you may not approach my altar by steps. If you do, someone might look up under the skirts of your clothing and see your nakedness.

After Jesus and his disciples left the synagogue, they went over to Simon and Andrew's home, and James and John were with them.

Mark.1.30

Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed, burning up with fever. They told Jesus.

Mark.1.30

Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her.

Mark.1.30

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once.

Mark.1.30

Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever. They told Jesus about her right away.

Mark.1.31

He went to her, took her hand, and raised her up. No sooner had the fever left than she was up fixing dinner for them.

Mark.1.31

So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.

Mark.1.31

So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.

Mark.1.31

He went to her bedside, and as he took her by the hand and helped her to sit up, the fever suddenly left, and she got up and prepared a meal for them.

Mark.1.32

That evening, after the sun was down, they brought sick and evil-afflicted people to him,

Mark.1.32

That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.

Mark.1.32

At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.

Mark.1.32

That evening at sunset, many sick and demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus.

Mark.1.33

the whole city lined up at his door!

Mark.1.33

The whole town gathered at the door,

Mark.1.33

And the whole city was gathered together at the door.

Mark.1.33

And a huge crowd of people from all over Capernaum gathered outside the door to watch.

Mark.1.34

He cured their sick bodies and tormented spirits. Because the demons knew his true identity, he didn't let them say a word.

Mark.1.34

and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.

Mark.1.34

Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

Mark.1.34

So Jesus healed great numbers of sick people who had many different kinds of diseases, and he ordered many demons to come out of their victims. But because they knew who he was, he refused to allow the demons to speak.

Mark.1.35

While it was still night, way before dawn, he got up and went out to a secluded spot and prayed.

Mark.1.35

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

Mark.1.35

Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

Mark.1.35

The next morning Jesus awoke long before daybreak and went out alone into the wilderness to pray.

Mark.1.36

Simon and those with him went looking for him.

Mark.1.36

Simon and his companions went to look for him,

Mark.1.36

And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him.

Mark.1.36

Later Simon and the others went out to find him.

Mark.1.37

They found him and said, "Everybody's looking for you."

Mark.1.37

and when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!"

Mark.1.37

When they found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

Mark.1.37

They said, "Everyone is asking for you."

Mark.1.38

Jesus said, "Let's go to the rest of the villages so I can preach there also. This is why I've come."

Mark.1.38

Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else--to the nearby villages--so I can preach there also. That is why I have come."

Mark.1.38

But He said to them, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth."

Mark.1.38

But he replied, "We must go on to other towns as well, and I will preach to them, too, because that is why I came."

Mark.1.39

He went to their meeting places all through Galilee, preaching and throwing out the demons.

Mark.1.39

So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

Mark.1.39

And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons.

Mark.1.39

So he traveled throughout the region of Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling demons from many people.

Mark.1.40

A leper came to him, begging on his knees, "If you want to, you can cleanse me."

Mark.1.40

A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, "If you are willing, you can make me clean."

Mark.1.40

Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

Mark.1.40

A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. "If you want to, you can make me well again," he said.

Mark.1.41

Deeply moved, Jesus put out his hand, touched him, and said, "I want to. Be clean."

Mark.1.41

Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!"

Mark.1.41

Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

Mark.1.41

Moved with pity, Jesus touched him. "I want to," he said. "Be healed!"

Mark.1.42

Then and there the leprosy was gone, his skin smooth and healthy.

Mark.1.42

Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.

Mark.1.42

As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

Mark.1.42

Instantly the leprosy disappeared--the man was healed.

Mark.1.43

Jesus dismissed him with strict orders:

Mark.1.43

Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning:

Mark.1.43

And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once,

Mark.1.43

Then Jesus sent him on his way and told him sternly,

Mark.1.44

"Say nothing to anyone. Take the offering for cleansing that Moses prescribed and present yourself to the priest. This will validate your healing to the people."

Mark.1.44

"See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them."

Mark.1.44

and said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

Mark.1.44

"Go right over to the priest and let him examine you. Don't talk to anyone along the way. Take along the offering required in the law of Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy, so everyone will have proof of your healing."

Mark.1.45

But as soon as the man was out of earshot, he told everyone he met what had happened, spreading the news all over town. So Jesus kept to out-of-the-way places, no longer able to move freely in and out of the city. But people found him, and came from all over.

Mark.1.45

Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.

Mark.1.45

However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.

Mark.1.45

But as the man went on his way, he spread the news, telling everyone what had happened to him. As a result, such crowds soon surrounded Jesus that he couldn't enter a town anywhere publicly. He had to stay out in the secluded places, and people from everywhere came to him there.

Mark.2.1

After a few days, Jesus returned to Capernaum, and word got around that he was back home.

Mark.2.1

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home.

Mark.2.1

And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house.

Mark.2.1

Several days later Jesus returned to Capernaum, and the news of his arrival spread quickly through the town.

Mark.2.2

A crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get in or out. He was teaching the Word.

Mark.2.2

So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.

Mark.2.2

Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.

Mark.2.2

Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there wasn't room for one more person, not even outside the door. And he preached the word to them.

Mark.2.3

They brought a paraplegic to him, carried by four men.

Mark.2.3

Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them.

Mark.2.3

Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men.

Mark.2.3

Four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat.

Mark.2.4

When they weren't able to get in because of the crowd, they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher.

Mark.2.4

Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on.

Mark.2.4

And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

Mark.2.4

They couldn't get to Jesus through the crowd, so they dug through the clay roof above his head. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus.

Mark.2.5

Impressed by their bold belief, Jesus said to the paraplegic, "Son, I forgive your sins."

Mark.2.5

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

Mark.2.5

When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

Mark.2.5

Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, "My son, your sins are forgiven."

Mark.2.6

Some religion scholars sitting there started whispering among themselves,

Mark.2.6

Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,

Mark.2.6

And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

Mark.2.6

But some of the teachers of religious law who were sitting there said to themselves,

Mark.2.7

"He can't talk that way! That's blasphemy! God and only God can forgive sins."

Mark.2.7

"Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

Mark.2.7

"Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

Mark.2.7

"What? This is blasphemy! Who but God can forgive sins!"

Mark.2.8

Jesus knew right away what they were thinking, and said, "Why are you so skeptical?

Mark.2.8

Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things?

Mark.2.8

But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, "Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

Mark.2.8

Jesus knew what they were discussing among themselves, so he said to them, "Why do you think this is blasphemy?

Mark.2.9

Which is simpler: to say to the paraplegic, "I forgive your sins,' or say, "Get up, take your stretcher, and start walking'?

Mark.2.9

Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'?

Mark.2.9

Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Arise, take up your bed and walk'?

Mark.2.9

Is it easier to say to the paralyzed man, 'Your sins are forgiven' or 'Get up, pick up your mat, and walk'?

Mark.2.10

Well, just so it's clear that I'm the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both..." (he looked now at the paraplegic),

Mark.2.10

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." He said to the paralytic,

Mark.2.10

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the paralytic,

Mark.2.10

I will prove that I, the Son of Man, have the authority on earth to forgive sins." Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said,

Mark.2.11

"Get up. Pick up your stretcher and go home."

Mark.2.11

"I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home."

Mark.2.11

"I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

Mark.2.11

"Stand up, take your mat, and go on home, because you are healed!"

Mark.2.12

And the man did it--got up, grabbed his stretcher, and walked out, with everyone there watching him. They rubbed their eyes, incredulous--and then praised God, saying, "We've never seen anything like this!"

Mark.2.12

He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

Mark.2.12

Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

Mark.2.12

The man jumped up, took the mat, and pushed his way through the stunned onlookers. Then they all praised God. "We've never seen anything like this before!" they exclaimed.

Mark.2.13

Then Jesus went again to walk alongside the lake. Again a crowd came to him, and he taught them.

Mark.2.13

Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.

Mark.2.13

Then He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them.

Mark.2.13

Then Jesus went out to the lakeshore again and taught the crowds that gathered around him.

Mark.2.14

Strolling along, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, at his work collecting taxes. Jesus said, "Come along with me." He came.

Mark.2.14

As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.

Mark.2.14

As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." So he arose and followed Him.

Mark.2.14

As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at his tax-collection booth. "Come, be my disciple," Jesus said to him. So Levi got up and followed him.

Mark.2.15

Later Jesus and his disciples were at home having supper with a collection of disreputable guests. Unlikely as it seems, more than a few of them had become followers.

Mark.2.15

While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

Mark.2.15

Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi's house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.

Mark.2.15

That night Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to be his dinner guests, along with his fellow tax collectors and many other notorious sinners. (There were many people of this kind among the crowds that followed Jesus.)

Mark.2.16

The religion scholars and Pharisees saw him keeping this kind of company and lit into his disciples: "What kind of example is this, acting cozy with the riff-raff?"

Mark.2.16

When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"

Mark.2.16

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, "How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

Mark.2.16

But when some of the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with people like that, they said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with such scum?"

Mark.2.17

Jesus, overhearing, shot back, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I'm here inviting the sin-sick, not the spiritually-fit."

Mark.2.17

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Mark.2.17

When Jesus heard it, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

Mark.2.17

When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor--sick people do. I have come to call sinners, not those who think they are already good enough."

Ps.22.12

Herds of bulls come at me, the raging bulls stampede,

Ps.22.12

Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

Ps.22.12

Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.

Like roaring lions attacking their prey, they come at me with open mouths.

Ps.22.14

I'm a bucket kicked over and spilled, every joint in my body has been pulled apart. My heart is a blob of melted wax in my gut.

Ps.22.14

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me.

Ps.22.14

I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me.

Ps.22.14

My life is poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me.

Ps.22.15

I'm dry as a bone, my tongue black and swollen. They have laid me out for burial in the dirt.

Ps.22.15

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.

Ps.22.15

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death.

Ps.22.15

My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead.

Ps.22.16

Now packs of wild dogs come at me; thugs gang up on me. They pin me down hand and foot,

Ps.22.16

Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet.

Ps.22.16

For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet;

Ps.22.16

My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

Ps.22.17

and lock me in a cage--a bag Of bones in a cage, stared at by every passerby.

Ps.22.17

I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me.

Ps.22.17

I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me.

Ps.22.17

I can count every bone in my body. My enemies stare at me and gloat.

Ps.22.18

They take my wallet and the shirt off my back, and then throw dice for my clothes.

Ps.22.18

They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.

Ps.22.18

They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.

Ps.22.18

They divide my clothes among themselves and throw dice for my garments.

Ps.22.19

You, GOD-don't put off my rescue! Hurry and help me!

Ps.22.19

But you, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

Ps.22.19

But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me!

Ps.22.19

O LORD, do not stay away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!

Ps.22.20

Don't let them cut my throat; don't let those mongrels devour me.

Ps.22.20

Deliver my life from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs.

Ps.22.20

Deliver Me from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog.

Ps.22.20

Rescue me from a violent death; spare my precious life from these dogs.

Ps.22.21

If you don't show up soon, I'm done for--gored by the bulls, meat for the lions.

Ps.22.21

Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen.

Ps.22.21

Save Me from the lion's mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me.

Ps.22.21

Snatch me from the lions' jaws, and from the horns of these wild oxen.
