All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.

For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

He is before all things, and in him all things have being.

Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.

So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching, for he was teaching as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?

And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.

And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.

And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages; They will take up snakes, and if there is poison in their drink, it will do them no evil; they will put their hands on those who are ill, and they will get well.

And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins.

In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.

Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead, And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days. The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days! But his words were about that holy building which was his body.

No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.

Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it.

And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.
