So if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

But he has no root in himself and does not endure; when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away.

Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will repay you.'

But if that evil slave should say to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,'

Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will."

Once when Jesus was praying by himself, and his disciples were nearby, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

Then he said to them all, "If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.

For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him two by two into every town and place where he himself was about to go.

But the expert, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

So if Satan too is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? I ask you this because you claim that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

so he thought to himself, 'What should I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?'

So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God."

Blessed are those slaves whom their master finds alert when he returns! I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, have them take their place at the table, and will come and wait on them!

But if that slave should say to himself, 'My master is delayed in returning,' and he begins to beat the other slaves, both men and women, and to eat, drink, and get drunk,

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

Then the manager said to himself, 'What should I do, since my master is taking my position away from me? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm too ashamed to beg.

For a while he refused, but later on he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people,

The Pharisee stood and prayed about himself like this: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people: extortionists, unrighteous people, adulterers -- or even like this tax collector.

The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculed him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, his chosen one!"

While they were talking and debating these things, Jesus himself approached and began to accompany them

Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things written about himself in all the scriptures.

While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.

No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.

But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.

(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),

Surely you're not greater than our ancestor Jacob, are you? For he gave us this well and drank from it himself, along with his sons and his livestock."

(For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)

Then the father realized that it was the very time Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed along with his entire household.

For this reason the Jewish leaders were trying even harder to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was also calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal with God.

For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time,

For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus himself also went up, not openly but in secret.

The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

So the Jewish leaders began to say, "Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'"

You people are doing the deeds of your father." Then they said to Jesus, "We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself."

Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area.

Some people said, "This is the man!" while others said, "No, but he looks like him." The man himself kept insisting, "I am the one!"

For I have not spoken from my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak.

he got up from the meal, removed his outer clothes, took a towel and tied it around himself.

He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel he had wrapped around himself.

If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him right away.

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

(Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire they had made, warming themselves because it was cold. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.)

Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing in the courtyard warming himself. They said to him, "You aren't one of his disciples too, are you?" Peter denied it: "I am not!"

After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now this is how he did so.

To the same apostles also, after his suffering, he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs. He was seen by them over a forty-day period and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God.

For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, 'The Lord said to my lord, "Sit at my right hand

Philip, however, found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through the area, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from everything the Jewish people were expecting to happen."

When they reached Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila behind there, but he himself went into the synagogue and addressed the Jews.

So after sending two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, he himself stayed on for a while in the province of Asia.

But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, put his arms around him, and said, "Do not be distressed, for he is still alive!"

We went on ahead to the ship and put out to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had arranged it this way. He himself was intending to go there by land.

By all these things, I have shown you that by working in this way we must help the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

Then Paul took the men the next day, and after he had purified himself along with them, he went to the temple and gave notice of the completion of the days of purification, when the sacrifice would be offered for each of them.

Then Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and he himself intended to go there shortly.

When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.

So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God's children.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

For none of us lives for himself and none dies for himself.

Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
