'Even' in the Bible

If you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don't they?

And if you greet only your relatives, that's no great thing you're doing, is it? Even the unbelievers do the same, don't they?

Indeed, even the hairs on your head have all been counted!

I tell all of you with certainty, whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple will never lose his reward."

Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!

because false messiahs and false prophets will appear and display great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

Then he went home. Such a large crowd gathered again that Jesus and his disciples couldn't even eat.

He wouldn't even let anyone carry a vessel through the Temple.

But Peter told him, "Even if everyone else turns against you, I certainly won't."

But Peter kept saying emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I'll never deny you!" And all the others kept saying the same thing.

So he told them, "I'm deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake."

Again he came back and found them asleep, because they could not keep their eyes open. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

But even on this point their testimony didn't agree.

Some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and kept hitting him with their fists and telling him, "Prophesy!" Even the servants took him and slapped him around.

But he denied it, saying, "I don't know or even understand what you're talking about!" Then he went out into the entryway. Just then a rooster crowed.

Even some tax collectors came to be baptized. They asked him, "Teacher, what should we do?"

Even some soldiers were asking him, "And what should we do?" He told them, "Never extort money from anyone by threats or blackmail, and be satisfied with your pay."

But the news about Jesus spread even more, and many crowds began gathering to hear him and to be healed of their diseases.

They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Even those who were being tormented by unclean spirits were being healed.

"If you love those who love you, what thanks do you deserve? Why, even sinners love those who love them.

If you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do you deserve? Even sinners do that.

If you lend to those from whom you expect to get something back, what thanks do you deserve? Even sinners lend to sinners to get back what they lend.

Rather, love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind even to ungrateful and evil people.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found this kind of faith!"

Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!

I tell you, no one has ever been born who is greater than John. Yet even the least important person in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

So pay attention to how you listen, because to the one who has something, more will be given. However, from the one who doesn't have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him."

Then he asked the disciples, "Where's your faith?" Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, "Who is this man? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!"

I tell you, even though that man doesn't want to get up and give him anything because he is his friend, he will get up and give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.

Jesus said, "How terrible it will be for you experts in the Law, too! You load people with burdens that are hard to carry, yet you don't even lift a finger to ease those burdens.

Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows."

Consider the crows. They don't plant or harvest, they don't even have a storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!

Consider how the lilies grow. They don't work or spin yarn, but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.

But the servant who did things that deserved a beating without knowing it will receive a light beating. Much will be required from everyone to whom much has been given. But even more will be demanded from the one to whom much has been entrusted."

Now some people were even bringing their infants to Jesus to have him touch them. But when the disciples saw this, they sternly told the people not to do that.

The people at the front of the crowd sternly told him to be quiet, but he started shouting even louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

Then the Jewish leaders asked him, "You are not even 50 years old, yet you have seen Abraham?"

But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, he will give it to you."

Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live.

Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who believes in me will also do what I'm doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I'm going to the Father.

When Pilate heard this, he became even more afraid.

A week later, his disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were shut, Jesus came, stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."

In those days I will even pour out my Spirit on my slaves, men and women alike, and they will prophesy.
