"Blessed are the lowly in mind, for they will possess the land.

Then they understood that He meant, guard yourselves not against yeast for bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

When they were near Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples on ahead,

Then he came to the second and said the same thing. And he answered, 'I will not.' But afterward he changed his mind and went.

And He answered him, "'You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind.'

"A curse on you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees! For you pay tithes on mint and dill and cummin, and yet leave out the more vital matters of the law, justice, love and fidelity. These latter especially you ought to have done, but ought not to have left out the former.

While He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to Him by themselves, and said, "Tell us when this is to take place, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age."

After singing a hymn, they left the city, and went up the Mount of Olives.

So Jesus looked around at them in anger, because He was pained over their stubbornness of mind, and said to the man, "Hold out your hand." And he held it out, and his hand was cured.

When they came to Jesus and saw the man who had once been insane under the power of many demons, sitting, with his clothes on, and in his right mind, they were frightened.

And because He saw that they were struggling at the oars, for the wind was against them, a while before daybreak He started toward them walking on the sea, and He meant to go right up beside them.

And they held that caution fast in their minds, as they continued to discuss among themselves what rising from the dead meant.

But they did not understand what this statement meant, and they were afraid to ask Him.

When they were getting near Jerusalem, that is, were at Bethphage and Bethany in front of the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples on ahead,

and you must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole mind, and your whole strength.'

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew, in a private group, were asking Him,

After singing a hymn they went out of the city and up the Mount of Olives.

But she was agitated at what he said, and began to ponder what this greeting meant.

When His parents saw Him, they were utterly amazed, and yet His mother said to Him, "My child, why did you treat us so? Just see how your father and I, in agony of mind, have been searching for you!"

His disciples were asking Him what this story meant.

So the people went out to see what had taken place, and they went to Jesus and found the man out of whom the demons had gone sitting at the feet of Jesus, with his clothes on and in his right mind; and they were frightened.

But they remained ignorant of what this meant; indeed, it had been hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.

Then he answered, "You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole strength, and your whole mind, and your neighbor as you do yourself."

But a curse on you Pharisees, because you pay tithes on mint, rue, and every tiny garden herb, but neglect justice and the love of God! These latter especially you ought to have done, but ought not to have neglected the former.

Then he called one of the servant-boys and asked him what this meant.

But they did not understand about these things, and this statement was an insoluble riddle to them; they did not even begin to grasp what He meant.

As he heard a crowd going by, he asked what it meant.

When He approached Bethphage and Bethany by the hill called the Mount of Olives, He sent on two of His disciples, and

Just as He was approaching the city, going down the Mount of Olives, the whole throng of the disciples began to praise God exultantly and loudly for all the wonder-works that they had seen,

Then the scribes and the high priests tried to arrest Him at that very hour, but they were afraid of the people, for they knew that He meant this story for them.

Now during the days He continued to teach in the temple, but He would go out and spend the nights on the hill called the Mount of Olives;

Then He went out of the city and up the Mount of Olives, as He was in the habit of doing; and His disciples, too, followed Him there.

Then He said to them, "O men sluggish in mind and slow in heart to believe all that the prophets have said!

But He meant the sanctuary of His body.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus told them this allegory, but they did not understand what He meant by it.

The disciples kept looking at one another, but were at a loss to know which one He meant.

So Simon Peter nodded to him to ask Him which one it was that He meant.

But no one else at the table knew what He meant by this,

for some of them were thinking, as Judas had the purse, that Jesus meant to say to him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor.

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, only half a mile away.

With one mind they were all continuing to devote themselves to prayer, with the women and Mary and His brothers.

When the day of Pentecost had now come, they were all meeting in one mind,

When forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush.

This is the one who in the congregation in the desert went between the angel, who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and our forefathers, who also received, to be handed down to you, utterances that still live.

As the crowds continued to listen to his message and continued to see his wonder-works which he was performing, with one mind they became interested in what was said by Philip.

The priest of the temple of Zeus, which stood at the entrance to the town, came with crowds of people to the gates, bringing bulls and garlands; he meant to offer sacrifices to them.

When she and her household were baptized, she begged us by continuing to say, "If you have made up your mind that I am a real believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she continued to insist that we do so.

where he stayed three months. Just as he was about to sail for Syria, he changed his mind and returned by way of Macedonia, because a plot against him had been laid by the Jews.

Do you think so little of the riches of God's kindness, forbearance, and patience, not conscious that His kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

And the gift is not fit all to be compared with the results of that one man's sin. For that sentence resulted from the offense of one man, and it meant condemnation, but the free gift resulted from the offenses of many, and it meant right standing.

and so, in my case, the command which should have meant life turned out to mean death.

One man rates one day above another, another rates them all alike. Let every man be fully convinced in his own mind.

Now what I really meant was for you to stop associating with any so-called brother, if he is sexually immoral, a greedy grasper, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunkard, or a swindler -- with such a person you must even stop eating.

For if I pray in ecstasy, my spirit is praying, but my mind produces no results for anyone.

What is my conclusion then? I will certainly pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind in action too. I will certainly sing with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind in action too. For if you give thanks with your spirit only,

But in the public congregation I would rather speak five words with my mind in action, in order to instruct the people too, than ten thousand words in ecstasy.

So speaking in ecstasy is meant as a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is meant, not for unbelievers but for believers.

This is spoken as an allegory. For these women are two covenants, one coming from Mount Sinai, bearing children that are to be slaves;

that is, Hagar (and Hagar means Mount Sinai, in Arabia) and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for Jerusalem is in slavery with her children.

until we all attain to unity in faith and to perfect knowledge of the Son of God, namely, to a mature manhood and to a perfect measure of Christ's moral stature;

and to have a new attitude of mind

Stop letting anyone, in gratuitous humility and worship of angels, defraud you as an umpire, for such a one is taking his stand on the mere visions he has seen, and is groundlessly conceited over his sensuous mind.

and perpetual friction between people who are depraved in mind and deprived of truth, who imagine that religion is only a means of gain.

Just as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, these people resist the truth, for they are depraved in mind and so counterfeits in the faith.

But you have come to Mount Zion, even to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless hosts of angels,

You must have a turn of mind that is free from avarice; you must be content with what you have, for God Himself has said, "I will never fail you, I will never forsake you."

for you surely know that what is genuine in your faith produces the patient mind that endures;

Even the prophets, who prophesied about the spiritual blessing meant for you, made careful investigations and persistent research about this salvation,

Yes, I will be in earnest, so that every time you have occasion, after I have gone away, you may call these things to mind.

because you recognize this truth above all else, that no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one's own mind,

Then I looked, and there the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand people who had His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.

Here is scope for a mind that is packed with wisdom. The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman is seated.
