My Bible

"For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall make a name for the Lord, an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."

"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

"Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.

highlighted John 1:18-51 ESV

No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."So they said to him, "Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"He said, "I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said."(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"John answered them, "I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know,even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.'I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."And John bore witness: "I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples,and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, "What are you seeking?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"He said to them, "Come and you will see." So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ).He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!"Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
