'Spirit' in the Bible

The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.

“I baptize you with water for repentance, but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

After Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water. The heavens suddenly opened for Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him.

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.

“The poor in spirit are blessed,for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

because you are not speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is speaking through you.

Here is My Servant whom I have chosen,My beloved in whom My soul delights;I will put My Spirit on Him,and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

Because of this, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the one to come.

“When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn’t find any.

He asked them, “How is it then that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls Him ‘Lord’:

Stay awake and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Jesus shouted again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
