Then off it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first. That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them.

“Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”

He took the seven loaves and the fish, and He gave thanks, broke them, and kept on giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

They all ate and were filled. Then they collected the leftover pieces—seven large baskets full.

Or the seven loaves for the 4,000 and how many large baskets you collected?

Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how many times could my brother sin against me and I forgive him? As many as seven times?”

“I tell you, not as many as seven,” Jesus said to him, “but 70 times seven.

Now there were seven brothers among us. The first got married and died. Having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother.

The same happened to the second also, and the third, and so to all seven.

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had married her.”

“How many loaves do you have?” He asked them.

“Seven,” they said.

Then He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks, broke the loaves, and kept on giving them to His disciples to set before the people. So they served the loaves to the crowd.

They ate and were filled. Then they collected seven large baskets of leftover pieces.

“When I broke the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many large baskets full of pieces of bread did you collect?”

“Seven,” they said.

There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying, left no offspring.

So the seven left no offspring. Last of all, the woman died too.

In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be, since the seven had married her?”

[Early on the first day of the week, after He had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had driven seven demons.

There was also a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was well along in years, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out of her);

Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first.”

And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children.

and the third took her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children.

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.”

Now that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

He asked them at what time he got better. “Yesterday at seven in the morning the fever left him,” they answered.

Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we can appoint to this duty.

then after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave their land to them as an inheritance.

Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.

but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread. In five days we reached them at Troas, where we spent seven days.

So we found some disciples and stayed there seven days. Through the Spirit they told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.

The next day we left and came to Caesarea, where we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.

As the seven days were about to end, the Jews from Asia saw him in the temple complex, stirred up the whole crowd, and seized him,

There we found believers and were invited to stay with them for seven days.

And so we came to Rome.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being encircled by the Israelites for seven days.

and if He didn’t spare the ancient world, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others, when He brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;

John:

To the seven churches in Asia.

Grace and peace to you from the One who is, who was, and who is coming; from the seven spirits before His throne;

saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven gold lampstands,

He had seven stars in His right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth, and His face was shining like the sun at midday.

The secret of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven gold lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

“Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus:

“The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand and who walks among the seven gold lampstands says:

“Write to the angel of the church in Sardis:

“The One who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars says: I know your works; you have a reputation for being alive, but you are dead.

Flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder came from the throne. Seven fiery torches were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.

Then I saw in the right hand of the One seated on the throne a scroll with writing on the inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has been victorious so that He may open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Then I saw One like a slaughtered lamb standing between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth.

Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”

Then I saw the seven angels who stand in the presence of God; seven trumpets were given to them.

And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

and he cried out with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he cried out, the seven thunders spoke with their voices.

And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down!”

Then another sign appeared in heaven: There was a great fiery red dragon having seven heads and 10 horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.

And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. He had 10 horns and seven heads. On his horns were 10 diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.

Then I saw another great and awe-inspiring sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven last plagues, for with them, God’s wrath will be completed.

Out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in clean, bright linen, with gold sashes wrapped around their chests.

One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven gold bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives forever and ever.

Then the sanctuary was filled with smoke from God’s glory and from His power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me: “Come, I will show you the judgment of the notorious prostitute who sits on many waters.

So he carried me away in the Spirit to a desert. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and 10 horns.

Then the angel said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will tell you the secret meaning of the woman and of the beast, with the seven heads and the 10 horns, that carries her.

“Here is the mind with wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated.

They are also seven kings: Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes, he must remain for a little while.

The beast that was and is not, is himself an eighth king, yet he belongs to the seven and is going to destruction.

Then one of the seven angels, who had held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me: “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
