John himself had a camel-hair garment with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

“I baptize you with water for repentance, but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

He Himself took our weaknesses
and carried our diseases.

If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

Yet he has no root in himself, but is short-lived. When pressure or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

After dismissing the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child—this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

So he threw the silver into the sanctuary and departed. Then he went and hanged himself.

“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

And if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished!

And always, night and day, he was crying out among the tombs and in the mountains and cutting himself with stones.

At once Jesus realized in Himself that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My robes?”

For Herod himself had given orders to arrest John and to chain him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

David himself says by the Holy Spirit:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand
until I put Your enemies under Your feet.’

David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how then can the Messiah be his Son?” And the large crowd was listening to Him with delight.

Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the temple police, warming himself by the fire.

When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus.”

In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes were mocking Him to one another and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself!

Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came and boldly went in to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body.

When the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “This man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching Him—she’s a sinner!”

Then He said to them all, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

What is a man benefited if he gains the whole world, yet loses or forfeits himself?

After this, the Lord appointed 70 others, and He sent them ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place where He Himself was about to go.

But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

He thought to himself, ‘What should I do, since I don’t have anywhere to store my crops?

“That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

And that slave who knew his master’s will and didn’t prepare himself or do it will be severely beaten.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

“Then the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I’m not strong enough to dig; I’m ashamed to beg.

“For a while he was unwilling, but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or respect man,

I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Therefore He said: “A nobleman traveled to a far country to receive for himself authority to be king and then return.

For David himself says in the Book of Psalms:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand

They began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, opposing payment of taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is the Messiah, a King.”

The people stood watching, and even the leaders kept scoffing: “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One!”

And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them.

Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

And as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. He said to them, “Peace to you!”

Jesus, however, would not entrust Himself to them, since He knew them all

and because He did not need anyone to testify about man; for He Himself knew what was in man.

(though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are You? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock.”

Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.

This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill Him: Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted to the Son to have life in Himself.

The Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have not heard His voice at any time, and you haven’t seen His form.

He asked this to test him, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.

Therefore, when Jesus knew that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.

Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were complaining about this, asked them, “Does this offend you?

The one who speaks for himself seeks his own glory. But He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

So the Jews said again, “He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I’m going, you cannot come’?”

“But we don’t know how he now sees, and we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he’s of age. He will speak for himself.”

Then Jesus, angry in Himself again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

For I have not spoken on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a command as to what I should say and what I should speak.

So He got up from supper, laid aside His robe, took a towel, and tied it around Himself.

If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself and will glorify Him at once.

For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

Now the slaves and the temple police had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, “You aren’t one of His disciples too, are you?”

He denied it and said, “I am not!”

“We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

From that moment Pilate made every effort to release Him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!”

After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to His disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself in this way:

After He had suffered, He also presented Himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during 40 days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand

Then even Simon himself believed. And after he was baptized, he went around constantly with Philip and was astounded as he observed the signs and great miracles that were being performed.

The eunuch replied to Philip, “I ask you, who is the prophet saying this about—himself or another person?”

Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from all that the Jewish people expected.”

although He did not leave Himself without a witness, since He did what is good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons and satisfying your hearts with food and happiness.”

When the jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison open, he drew his sword and was going to kill himself, since he thought the prisoners had escaped.

Neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives everyone life and breath and all things.

When they reached Ephesus he left them there, but he himself entered the synagogue and engaged in discussion with the Jews.

So after sending two of those who assisted him, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

But Paul went down, fell on him, embraced him, and said, “Don’t be alarmed, for his life is in him!”

Then we went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. For these were his instructions, since he himself was going by land.

Then the next day, Paul took the men, having purified himself along with them, and entered the temple, announcing the completion of the purification days when the offering for each of them would be made.

However, Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to go there shortly.

Now I realized that he had not done anything deserving of death, but when he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

When we entered Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children,

In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with unspoken groanings.

For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.

For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Do you have a conviction? Keep it to yourself before God. The man who does not condemn himself by what he approves is blessed.

For even the Messiah did not please Himself. On the contrary, as it is written, The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.

The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.

No one should deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, he must become foolish so that he can become wise.

So a man should examine himself; in this way he should eat the bread and drink from the cup.

For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.

The person who speaks in another language builds himself up, but he who prophesies builds up the church.

But if there is no interpreter, that person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God.

And when everything is subject to Christ, then the Son Himself will also be subject to the One who subjected everything to Him, so that God may be all in all.

Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us.
