And when thou prayest, be not like the hypocrites; for they love to pray in public assemblies, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be taken notice of by men.

Judge not, that ye be not judged: for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured back again to you. read more.

Is there any man among you, who, if his son ask him for bread, will give him a stone? or if he ask for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to them that ask Him?

And going a little farther, He prostrated Himself, and prayed, if it were possible, that this hour might pass from Him.

And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is called the Pretorium; and gathered their whole company together:

and ye shall be hated by all men for professing my name; but he that perseveres to the end shall certainly be saved.

Then He bid the people sit down on the ground;

But this kind is not to be cast out but by prayer and fasting.

and whoever shall receive one such little child for my sake, receiveth me:

And I tell you moreover, that if but two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing which they would ask for, it shall be granted them by my Father who is in heaven: for where two or three are assembled together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

for where two or three are assembled together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? to seven times? read more. Jesus answereth him, I tell thee not, to seven times, but to seventy times seven.

Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him, together with her two sons, falling down before Him, and presenting a petition to Him. And He said unto her, What dost thou desire? She saith unto Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on the left in thy kingdom. read more. But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask: are ye able to drink of the cup which I am going to drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They replied, We are able. And He saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.

Pray that your flight be not in the winter, nor on the sabbath:

and from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

And going a little farther, He prostrated himself, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, to the same effect.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani," that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

While He was yet speaking, there came some from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead, why dost thou trouble the Master any more?

And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not fit to take the children's bread, and throw it to the dogs.

and looking up to heaven He sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, be opened:

And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

And He said unto them, This kind cannot be cast out, but by prayer and fasting.

And He said unto them, This kind cannot be cast out, but by prayer and fasting.

that whosoever shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith shall be done, he shall have whatsoever he saith.

But when ye pray, forgive, if ye have any thing against any one, that your heavenly Father may also forgive you your trespasses:

who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive the heavier judgement.

And going a little farther, He prostrated Himself, and prayed, if it were possible, that this hour might pass from Him.

and all the people were praying without at the time of offering incense.

and had been a widow about eighty four years; who departed not from the temple; serving God with fastings and prayers night and day.

Now, when all the people were baptized, and Jesus was baptized and praying,

And in those days He went out to a mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God.

And in those days He went out to a mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God.

And in those days He went out to a mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called his disciples to Him: and chose out twelve from among them, whom He also named his apostles:

And He said unto her, Daughter, be comforted, thy faith has healed thee, go in peace.)

And He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven He blessed them; and brake and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

And as He was praying the form of his countenance was altered, and his raiment white and glistering:

And as He was praying in a certain retired place, as soon as He had done, one of his disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.

And He said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine on his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him: read more. and he from within shall answer and say, Do not be troublesome; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed, I cannot rise to give thee. I tell you, tho' he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend: yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he wants. And so I tell you, Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son ask bread of any father among you, will he give him a stone? and if he ask for a fish, will he instead of a fish give him a serpent? or if he ask for an egg, will he give him a scorpion? If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

I think not. So likewise ye, when ye have done all things that were commanded you, say we are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what we ought to do.

And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint: saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man. read more. And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary. And he would not for a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out. And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith: and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them. I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land? And He spake also this parable to some that trusted in themselves as being righteous, and despised others. Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a pharisee and the other a publican. The pharisee standing by himself prayed thus, O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican.

The pharisee standing by himself prayed thus, O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican. I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I possess. read more. But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

And He came out and went, as He used to do, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed Him. And when He was at the place, He said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. read more. And when He was withdrawn from them about a stone's-cast, He kneeled down and prayed saying,

And when He was withdrawn from them about a stone's-cast, He kneeled down and prayed saying, Father, if thou art willing take away this cup from me---nevertheless, not my will but thine be done. read more. And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven strengthening Him. And being in agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like clotted blood falling down upon the ground. And when He rose up from prayer, He came to his disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow; and He said to them, Why do ye sleep? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his garments, and cast lots for them.

And Jesus cried with a loud voice and said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And when He had said thus, He expired.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when ye shall worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. Ye worship ye know not what; but we worship what we know: for salvation is from the Jews. read more. But the time is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father requireth such worshippers of Him.

though there came other vessels from Tiberias, near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks: when therefore the people saw that Jesus was not there,

The man answered, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth. read more. From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing.

So they took away the stone from the place where the corpse was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank Thee, that Thou hast heard me. I knew indeed that Thou always hearest me: but because of the people standing by I say this, that they may believe that Thou hast sent me.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, I will do it: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Abide therefore in me, and I will abide in you: for as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, unless it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.

Ye did not first choose me, but I chose you, and have appointed you to go forth, and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be lasting: that whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name, He may give it you.

And in that day ye shall ask me nothing: but I assure you, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He will give it you. Hitherto ye have asked for nothing in my name: ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. read more. These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the time is coming when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but tell you with plainness concerning the Father.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom Thou hast given me, for they are thine.

And when they were come in to the city, they went up into an upper room, where Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude the brother of James, usually abode. These all persevered with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brethren.

And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, shew us, which of these two Thou hast chosen,

And they gave out their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the apostles.

Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John: who when they were come down prayed for them that they might receive the holy Spirit: (for He was not yet fallen upon any of them, read more. only they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus:) and then they laid their hands on them, and they received the holy Spirit.

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if so be the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee:

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? of himself, or of some other person?

And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much mischief he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: and here too he hath authority from the chief priests to apprehend all that call upon thy name.

and here too he hath authority from the chief priests to apprehend all that call upon thy name. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way, for he is the instrument I have chosen, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: read more. for I will shew him how great sufferings he must endure for my name. And Ananias went away and came into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to thee on the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the holy Spirit."

But Peter, putting them all out, kneeled down and prayed: and then turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

But Peter, putting them all out, kneeled down and prayed: and then turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And according to his custom Paul went in among them, and for three sabbath-days discoursed to them from the scriptures;

And after Paul had staid there yet a considerable time, he took leave of the brethren, and sailed from thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head at Cenchrea; for he had a vow.

And as Paul laid his hands on them, the holy Spirit came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And the men were in all about twelve.

But when we had completed these days, we departed and went our way, all of them attending us with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore and prayed. And having taken leave of each other, we went into the ship, and they returned home.

And when I was returned to Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, I was in a trance.
