He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all.

Ephraim mixes himself with the nations;
Ephraim has become a cake not turned.

Israel is a luxuriant vine;
He produces fruit for himself.
The more his fruit,
The more altars he made;
The richer his land,
The better he made the sacred pillars.

Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh,
But I will come over her fair neck with a yoke;
I will harness Ephraim,
Judah will plow, Jacob will harrow for himself.

When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling.
He exalted himself in Israel,
But through Baal he did wrong and died.

The Lord God has sworn by Himself, the Lord God of hosts has declared:
“I loathe the arrogance of Jacob,
And detest his citadels;
Therefore I will deliver up the city and all it contains.”

When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, laid aside his robe from him, covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes.

Then Jonah went out from the city and sat east of it. There he made a shelter for himself and sat under it in the shade until he could see what would happen in the city.

“Furthermore, wine betrays the haughty man,
So that he does not stay at home.
He enlarges his appetite like Sheol,
And he is like death, never satisfied.
He also gathers to himself all nations
And collects to himself all peoples.

“Will not all of these take up a taunt-song against him,
Even mockery and insinuations against him
And say, ‘Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself rich with loans?’

Now John himself had a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “He Himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases.”

And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.

And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come.

If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.

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

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

And He called a child to Himself and set him before them,

Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

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

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

And He *went up on the mountain and *summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.

And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?

If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished!

and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know.

Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they *woke Him and *said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones.

Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”

For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.

Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away.

Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

Calling them to Himself, Jesus *said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.

and to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

David himself said in the Holy Spirit,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet.”’

David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?” And the large crowd enjoyed listening to Him.

And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.”

Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself.

Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.][And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]

When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli,

But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner.”

When the apostles returned, they gave an account to Him of all that they had done. Taking them with Him, He withdrew by Himself to a city called Bethsaida.

And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?

Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

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

And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’

So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.

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

So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,

The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

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

So He said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return.

For David himself says in the book of Psalms,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,

And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.”

And when he learned that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time.

And the people stood by, looking on. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.”

While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.

Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.”

But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,

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

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

You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?”

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

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives”; and he himself believed and his whole household.

For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.

So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.

For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

So the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.

but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.”

While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.”These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

*got up from supper, and *laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.

if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.
