'Help' in the Bible

When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him asking for help:

And they came to him, and, awaking him, said, Help, Lord; destruction is near.

Go and learn what this [Scripture] means: ‘I desire compassion [for those in distress], and not [animal] sacrifice,’ for I did not come to call [to repentance] the [self-proclaimed] righteous [who see no need to change], but sinners [those who recognize their sin and actively seek forgiveness].”

But the Pharisees were saying, “He casts out the demons by [the power of] the ruler of demons.”

And if you had only known what this statement means, ‘I desire compassion [for those in distress], and not [animal] sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

But the Pharisees heard it and said, “This man casts out demons only by [the help of] Beelzebul (Satan) the prince of the demons.”

If I cast out the demons by [the help of] Beelzebul (Satan), by whom do your sons drive them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

But when he saw the wind he was in fear and, starting to go down, he gave a cry, saying, Help, Lord.

But you say, 'If someone tells his father or mother, "Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God,"

Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

The scribes and Pharisees tie up heavy loads [that are hard to bear] and place them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger [to make them lighter].

Listen carefully: your house is being left to you desolate [completely abandoned by God and destitute of His protection]!

I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me [with help and ministering care]; I was in prison, and you came to Me [ignoring personal danger].’

I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me [with help and ministering care].’

“Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help You?’

Or do you suppose I cannot entreat my Father and He would instantly send to my help more than twelve legions of angels?

And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.
