teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

and He *said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and had him beheaded in the prison,

And He commanded them all to sit down by groups on the green grass.

It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.

And He ordered him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

And the slave said, ‘Master, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’

He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?

So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”

And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him,

Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?”

but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here.

So the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,

Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me;

And when they had summoned them, they commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here present before God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”

For so the Lord has commanded us,
‘I have placed You as a light for the Gentiles,
That You may bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”

And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,

While they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

At once he took along some soldiers and centurions and ran down to them; and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

Then the commander came up and took hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and he began asking who he was and what he had done.

As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the commander, “May I say something to you?” And he *said, “Do you know Greek?

the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, stating that he should be examined by scourging so that he might find out the reason why they were shouting against him that way.

When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and told him, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman.”

The commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” And he said, “Yes.”

The commander answered, “I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money.” And Paul said, “But I was actually born a citizen.”

Therefore those who were about to examine him immediately let go of him; and the commander also was afraid when he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had put him in chains.

The high priest Ananias commanded those standing beside him to strike him on the mouth.

And as a great dissension was developing, the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them and ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

Now therefore, you and the Council notify the commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case by a more thorough investigation; and we for our part are ready to slay him before he comes near the place.”

Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, “Lead this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him.”

So he took him and led him to the commander and *said, “Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to lead this young man to you since he has something to tell you.”

The commander took him by the hand and stepping aside, began to inquire of him privately, “What is it that you have to report to me?”

So the commander let the young man go, instructing him, “Tell no one that you have notified me of these things.”

But Lysias the commander came along, and with much violence took him out of our hands,

But Felix, having a more exact knowledge about the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.”

but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,

and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you.”

This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.
