And, when any one wants to go to law with you, to take your coat, let him have your cloak as well;

Give to him who asks of you; and, from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.

Suddenly they shrieked out: "What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?"

At this point, some Teachers of the Law and Pharisees interposed. "Teacher," they said, " we want to see some sign from you."

And he did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.

"Why ask me about goodness?" answered Jesus. "There is but One who is good. If you want to enter the Life, keep the commandments."

"What is it that you want?" he asked. "I want you to say," she replied, "that in your Kingdom these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right, and the other on your left."

No, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to take the first place among you, must be your slave;

Then Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he said.

"Master," they replied, "we want our eyes to be opened."

And, if any one says anything to you, you are to say this-- 'The Master wants them'; and he will send them at once."

Then they, in their turn, will answer 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and did not supply your wants?'

Then the High Priest tore his robes. "This is blasphemy!" he exclaimed. "Why do we want any more witnesses? You have just heard his blasphemy!

He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said 'I am God's Son.'"

"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!"

"Have you never read," answered Jesus, "what David did when he was in want and hungry, he and his companions--

Shrieking out in a loud voice: "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? For God's sake do not torment me!"

And he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.

So she went in as quickly as possible to the King, and made her request. 'I want you,' she said, 'to give me at once, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.'

The boy's father immediately cried out: "I have faith; help my want of faith!"

James and John, the two sons of Zebediah, went to Jesus, and said: "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask."

"What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.

But among you it is not so. No, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

And whoever wants to take the first place among you must be the servant of all;

"What do you want me to do for you?" said Jesus, addressing him. "Rabboni," the blind man answered, "I want to recover my sight."

And, if any one says to you 'Why are you doing that?', say 'The Master wants it, and will be sure to send it back here at once.'"

At this the High Priest tore his vestments. "Why do we want any more witnesses?" he exclaimed.

He answered: "Do you want me to release the 'King of the Jews' for you?"

Later on, he made himself known to the Eleven themselves as they were at a meal, and reproached them with their want of faith and their stubbornness, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen from the dead.

"Stop! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!"

Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me."

I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.

Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: "Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you."

Why, which of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?--

After he has spent all that he had, there was a severe famine through all that country, and he began to be in actual want.

"What do you want me to do for you?" "Master," he said, "I want to recover my sight."

And, if anybody asks you 'Why are you untying it?,' you are to say this--'The Master wants it.'"

And the two disciples answered--"The Master wants it."

At this they exclaimed: "Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!"

"What do you want with me?" answered Jesus. "My time has not come yet."

At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked 'What do you want?' or 'Why are you talking with her?'

Do not you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!

"I told you just now," he answered, "and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Surely you also do not want to become his disciples?"

And laid them at the Apostles' feet; and then every one received a share in proportion to his wants.

"We gave you strict orders," he said, "not to teach in this Name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man."

Nor yet do human hands minister to his wants, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives, to all, life, and breath, and all things.

But if you want anything more, it will have to be settled in the regular Assembly.

You, yourselves, know that these hands of mine provided not only for my own wants, but for my companions also.

So we want you now, with the consent of the Council, to suggest to the Commanding Officer that he should bring Paul down before you, as though you intended to go more fully into his case; but, before he comes here, we will be ready to make away with him."

So he gave orders to the Captain in charge of Paul to keep him in custody, but to relax the regulations, and not to prevent any of his personal friends from attending to his wants.

I want you to know, Brothers, that I have many times intended coming to see you-but until now I have been prevented-that I might find among you some fruit of my labors, as I have already among the other nations.

What follows then? Some, no doubt, showed a want of faith; but will their want of faith make God break faith? Heaven forbid!

He was not led by want of faith to doubt God's promise.

I do not understand my own actions. For I am so far from habitually doing what I want to do, that I find myself doing the very thing that I hate.

But when I do what I want not to do, I am admitting that the Law is right.

I know that there is nothing good in me-I mean in my earthly nature. For, although it is easy for me to want to do right, to act rightly is not easy.

I fail to do the good thing that I want to do, but the bad thing that I want not to do-that I habitually do.

But, when I do the very thing that I want not to do, the action is no longer my own, but that of Sin which is within me.

This, then, is the law that I find-When I want to do right, wrong presents itself!

True; it was because of their want of faith that they were broken off, and it is because of your faith that you are standing. Do not think too highly of yourself, but beware.

Brothers, for fear that you should think too highly of yourselves, I want you to recognize the truth, hitherto hidden, that the callousness which has come over Israel is only partial, and will continue only till the whole Gentile world has been gathered in.

Relieving the wants of Christ's People; devoted to hospitality.

A good action has nothing to fear from Rulers; a bad action has. Do you want to have no reason to fear the Authorities? Then do what is good, and you will win their praise.

Every one has heard of your ready obedience. It is true that I am very happy about you, but I want you to be well versed in all that is good, and innocent of all that is bad.

Do not deprive each other of what is due-unless it is only for a time and by mutual consent, so that your minds may be free for prayer till you again live as man and wife-lest Satan should take advantage of your want of self-control and tempt you.

Circumcision is nothing; the want of it is nothing; but to keep the commands of God is everything.

I want you to be free from anxiety. The unmarried man is anxious about the Master's Cause, desiring to please him;

I want you to bear in mind, Brothers, that all our ancestors were beneath the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

No; what I say is that the sacrifices offered by the Gentiles 'are offered to demons and to a Being who is no God,' and I do not want you to share with demons.

In the next place, Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant about spiritual gifts.

Now I want you all to speak in 'tongues,' but much more I wish that you should preach. A Preacher is of more account than he who speaks in 'tongues,' unless he interprets his words, so that the faith of the Church may be built up.

If they want information on any point, they should ask their husbands about it at home; for it is unbecoming for a married woman to speak at a meeting of the Church.

With reference to the Collection for Christ's People, I want you to follow the instructions that I gave to the Churches in Galatia.

I want you, on your part, to show deference to such men as these, as well as to every fellow laborer and earnest worker.

We want you, Brothers, to know that, in the troubles which befell us in Roman Asia, we were burdened altogether beyond our strength, so much so that we even despaired of life.

And now I want you to complete the work, so that its completion may correspond with your willing readiness--in proportion, of course, to your means.

We have not indeed the audacity to class or compare ourselves with some of those who indulge in self-commendation! But, when such persons measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they show a want of wisdom.

Remember, this is the third time that I have made every preparation to come to see you, and I shall refuse to be a burden to you; I want, not your money, but you. It is not the duty of children to put by for their parents, but of parents to put by for their children.

For I am afraid that perhaps, when I come, I may find that you are not what I want you to be, and, on the other hand, that you may find that I am what you do not want me to be. I am afraid that I may find quarreling, jealousy, ill-feeling, rivalry, slandering, back-biting, self-assertion, and disorder.

Which is really no Good News at all. But then, I know that there are people who are harassing you, and who want to pervert the Good News of the Christ.

Here is the one thing that I want to find out from you--Did you receive the Spirit as the result of obedience to Law, or of your having listened with faith?

Certain people are seeking your favor, but with no honorable object. No, indeed, they want to isolate you, so that you will have to seek their favor.

Tell me, you who want to be still subject to Law--Why do not you listen to the Law?

Even these men who are circumcised do not themselves keep the Law; yet they want you to be circumcised, so that they may boast of your observance of the rite.

Let the man who steals steal no longer, but rather let him toil with his hands at honest work, so that he may have something to share with any one in want.

Brothers, I want you to realize that what has happened to me has actually served to forward the Good News.

Do not think that I am saying this under the pressure of want. For I, however I am placed, have learned to be independent of circumstances.

I know how to face humble circumstances, and I know how to face prosperity. Into all and every human experience I have been initiated--into plenty and hunger, into prosperity and want.

Indeed, even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent more than once to relieve my wants.

My wants are fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts which you sent me--the sweet fragrance of a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.

I want you to know in how great a struggle I am engaged for you and for Christ's People at Laodicea, and for all who have not yet seen me;

So that your conduct may win respect from those outside the Church, and that you may not want for anything.

They want to be Teachers of the Law, and yet do not understand either the words they use, or the subjects on which they speak so confidently.

but in case I should be delayed, I want you to know what your conduct ought to be in the Household of God, which is the Church of the Living God--the pillar and stay of the Truth.

But you should exclude the younger widows from the list; for, when they grow restive under the yoke of the Christ, they want to marry,

Those who want to be rich fall into the snares of temptation, and become the prey of many foolish and harmful ambitions, which plunge people into Destruction and Ruin.

Do your best to help Zenas, the Teacher of the Law, and Apollos, on their way, and see that they want for nothing.

For my own sake I should like to keep him with me, so that, while I am in prison for the Good News, he might attend to my wants on your behalf.

But I do not wish to do anything without your consent, because I want your generosity to be voluntary and not, as it were, compulsory.

We see, then, that they failed to enter upon it because of their want of faith.
