Then he told them, "But now whoever has a wallet must take it along, and his traveling bag, too. And the one who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done."

When those who were around Jesus saw what was about to take place, they asked, "Lord, should we attack with our swords?"

When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had taken their seats, Peter, too, sat down among them.

(This man had been put in prison for murder and for a revolt that had taken place in the city.)

When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, "This man certainly was righteous!"

When all the crowds who had come together for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they beat their chests and left.

They were talking with each other about all these things that had taken place.

The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Then he told those who were selling the doves, "Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!"

Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the hillside by himself.

So they were glad to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.

This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it back again.

No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is what my Father has commanded me."

Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, "Do quickly what you are going to do!"

He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said, "He will take what is mine and declare it to you.'

Now you are having pain. But I'll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

I'm not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one.

Pilate told them, "You take him and try him according to your Law."

Then Pilate had Jesus taken away and whipped.

When the high priests and the officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate told them, "You take him and crucify him. I find no basis for a charge against him."

Then they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Should I crucify your king?"

After Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished." Then he bowed his head and released his spirit.

They asked her, "Lady, why are you crying?" She told them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have put him."

Jesus asked her, "Dear lady, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she told him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

Then he told Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side. Stop doubting, but believe."

Jesus told him, "Take care of my sheep." He asked him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was deeply hurt that he had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" So he told him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!"

Jesus told him, "Feed my sheep. "Truly, I tell you emphatically, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go."

up to the day when he was taken up to heaven after giving orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

After saying this, Jesus was taken up while those who had gathered together were watching, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

They asked, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This same Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you saw him go up into heaven."

"For in the Book of Psalms it is written, "Let his estate be desolate, and let no one live on it,' and, "Let someone else take over his office,'

beginning when he was baptized by John until the day he was taken up from us. Therefore, someone like this must become a witness with us to his resurrection."

But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law who was respected by all the people, stood up in the Council and ordered the men to be taken outside for a little while.

You even took along the tent of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, and the images you made in order to worship them. So I will take you into exile as far as Babylon.'

In his humiliation, justice was denied him. Who can describe his descendants? For his life is taken away from the earth."

He asked him for letters to take with him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he might bring them in chains to Jerusalem.

This happened three times. Then the sheet was quickly taken back into heaven.

Barnabas wanted to take along John, who was called Mark,

but Paul did not think it was right to take along the man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and who had not gone with them into the work.

When handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his skin were taken to the sick, their diseases left them and evil spirits went out of them.

You also see and hear that, not only in Ephesus, but almost all over Asia, this man Paul has won over and taken away a large crowd by telling them that gods made by human hands are not gods at all.

Take these men, go through the purification ceremony with them, and pay their expenses to shave their heads. Then everyone will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you are carefully observing and keeping the Law.

For they had earlier seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him and assumed that Paul had taken him into the Temple.

Some of the crowd shouted this and some that. Since the tribune couldn't learn the facts due to the confusion, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.

Just as Paul was about to be taken into the barracks, he asked the tribune, "May I say something to you?"

the tribune ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks and told the soldiers to beat and question him in order to find out why the people were yelling at him like this.

The quarrel was becoming violent, and the tribune was afraid that they would tear Paul to pieces. So he ordered the soldiers to go down, take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

They went to the high priests and elders and said, "We have taken a solemn oath not to taste any food before we have killed Paul.

Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the tribune, because he has something to tell him."

Don't believe them, because more than 40 of them are planning to ambush him. They've taken an oath not to eat or drink before they've killed him. They are ready now, just waiting for your consent."

Provide a mount for Paul to ride, and take him safely to Governor Felix."

Indeed, I myself thought it my duty to take extreme measures against the name of Jesus from Nazareth.

So take courage, men, because I trust God that it will turn out just as he told me.

"Lord, they have killed your prophets and demolished your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life."

This is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

Do not take revenge, dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me. I will pay them back, declares the Lord."

When one of you has a complaint against another, does he dare to take the matter before those who are unrighteous and not before the saints?

You know that your bodies belong to the Messiah, don't you? Should I take what belongs to the Messiah and unite them with a prostitute? Certainly not!

Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let that bother you. Of course, if you have a chance to become free, take advantage of the opportunity.

We have the right to take a believing wife with us like the other apostles, the Lord's brothers, and Cephas, don't we?

Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat any of its grapes? Or who takes care of a flock and does not drink any of its milk?

Now I'm making known to you, brothers, the gospel that I proclaimed to you, which you accepted, on which you have taken your stand,

When I arrive, I will send letters along with the men you approve to take your gift to Jerusalem.

and not only by his arrival but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing for me, your sorrow, and your eagerness to take my side, and this made me even happier.

Someone like this should take note of the following: What we say by letter when we are absent is what we will do when present!

You tolerate anyone who makes you his slaves, devours what you have, takes what is yours, orders you around, or slaps your face!

I pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from me,

That is why I take such pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for the Messiah's sake, for when I am weak, then I am strong.

I did not take advantage of you through any of the men I sent you, did I?

I encouraged Titus to visit you, and I sent along with him the brother you know so well. Titus didn't take advantage of you, did he? We conducted ourselves with the same spirit, didn't we? We took the very same steps, didn't we?

I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view of this. However, the one who is troubling you will suffer God's judgment, whoever he is.

For this reason, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm.

In addition to having clothed yourselves with these things, having taken up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one,

also take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

I do not have anyone else like him who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.

Furthermore, you must never take advantage of or exploit a brother in this regard, because the Lord avenges all these things, just as we already told you and warned you.

in blazing fire. He will take revenge on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for it will not come unless the rebellion takes place first and the man of sin, who is destined for destruction, is revealed.

Then all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.

If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of him. Have nothing to do with him so that he will feel ashamed.

For if a man does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?

If anyone does not take care of his own relatives, especially his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Nothing to this world we bring; from it take we nothing.

They have abandoned the truth by claiming that the resurrection has already taken place, and so they destroy the faith of others.

The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will take me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Glory belongs to him forever and ever! Amen.

No one takes this honor upon himself but he is called to it by God, just as Aaron was.

In the same way, the Messiah did not take upon himself the glory of being a high priest. No, it was God who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father."

so that by these two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to prove false, we who have taken refuge in him might be encouraged to seize the hope set before us.

When a change in the priesthood takes place, there must also be a change in the Law.
