Receiveth

He answered them, “Because the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given for you to know, but it has not been given to them.

But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again,

he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to My word.

But you don’t believe because you are not My sheep.

“When the Counselor comes, the One I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

When He comes, He will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment:

They

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is God’s power to us who are being saved.
