Then He took them in His arms and blessed them lovingly, one by one, laying His hands upon them.

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep.

For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.

No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father."

No one has greater love than this--a man laying down his life for his friends.

When, however, Simon saw that it was through the laying on of the Apostles' hands that the Spirit was bestowed, he offered them money.

So Ananias went and entered the house; and, laying his two hands upon Saul, said, "Saul, brother, the Lord--even Jesus who appeared to you on your journey--has sent me, that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

So, after fasting and prayer and the laying on of hands, they let them go.

Now, therefore, why try an experiment upon God, by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?

For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.

For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.

Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,

or of teaching about ceremonial washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and the last judgement.

For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ.

I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.

We know what love is--through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.
