And he said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting."

They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"

But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."

He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds marveled.

The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'

The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, one greater than Solomon is here.

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

The same came to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

Jesus therefore answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One who sent me.

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, and still you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father?'

But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"

For if I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

because the mind set on the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;

To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.

Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.

For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, how can you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only do not use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

More than that, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
