When his division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

And he will go before Him
in the spirit and power of Elijah,
to turn the hearts of fathers
to their children,
and the disobedient
to the understanding of the righteous,
to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.

And child, you will be called
a prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare His ways,

Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

When the eight days were completed for His circumcision, He was named Jesus—the name given by the angel before He was conceived.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he saw the Lord’s Messiah.

But Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet and come out of him!”

And throwing him down before them, the demon came out of him without hurting him at all.

Just then some men came, carrying on a mat a man who was paralyzed. They tried to bring him in and set him down before Him.

Since they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the mat through the roof tiles into the middle of the crowd before Jesus.

Immediately he got up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, “What do You have to do with me, Jesus, You Son of the Most High God? I beg You, don’t torment me!”

When the woman saw that she was discovered, she came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.

As you are going with your adversary to the ruler, make an effort to settle with him on the way. Then he won’t drag you before the judge, the judge hand you over to the bailiff, and the bailiff throw you into prison.

Then He said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
