'God' in the Bible

The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,

And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news.

Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God.

Why does this man say such things? he has no respect for God: from whom does forgiveness come but from God only?

And he got up, and straight away took up the bed and went out before them all, so that they were all full of wonder, and gave glory to God, saying, We have never seen anything like this.

How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, went down before him, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God.

And he said to them, To you is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;

And he said, Such is the kingdom of God, as if a man put seed in the earth,

And he said, What picture may we give of the kingdom of God, or with what story may we make it clear?

And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.

And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out: it is better for you to go into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into hell,

Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.

And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.

Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.

Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?

But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you are greatly in error.

Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;

And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.

For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.

Truly I say to you, I will take no more of the fruit of the vine till the day when I take it new in the kingdom of God.

And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

His words against God have come to your ears: what is your opinion? And they all said it was right for him to be put to death.

And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God.

There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had said these words to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.
