highlighted Matthew 14:1-13 NASB
He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.His disciples came and took away the body and buried it; and they went and reported to Jesus.aNow when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.aAt that time bHerod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,and said to his servants, "aThis is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."For when aHerod had John arrested, he bound him and put him bin prison because of cHerodias, the wife of his brother Philip.For John had been saying to him, "aIt is not lawful for you to have her."Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded John as aa prophet.But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of aHerodias danced before them and pleased bHerod,so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.Having been prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.

highlighted Hebrews 11:1-31 NASB
for he was looking for athe city which has bfoundations, cwhose architect and builder is God.By faith even aSarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him bfaithful who had promised.Therefore there was born even of one man, and ahim as good as dead at that, as many descendants bAS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.aAll these died in faith, bwithout receiving the promises, but chaving seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and dhaving confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, athey would have had opportunity to return.But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a aheavenly one. Therefore bGod is not ashamed to be ccalled their God; for dHe has prepared a city for them.By faith aAbraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had breceived the promises was offering up his only begotten son;it was he to whom it was said, "aIN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED."He considered that aGod is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a btype.Now faith is the aassurance of things bhoped for, the conviction of cthings not seen.By faith aIsaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.By faith aJacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bworshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.By faith aJoseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.By faith aMoses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the bking's edict.By faith Moses, awhen he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,choosing rather to aendure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,aconsidering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the breward.By faith he aleft Egypt, not bfearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as cseeing Him who is unseen.By faith he akept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that bhe who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.By faith they apassed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned.For by it the amen of old bgained approval.By faith athe walls of Jericho fell down bafter they had been encircled for seven days.By faith aRahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.By faith we understand that the aworlds were prepared bby the word of God, so that what is seen cwas not made out of things which are visible.By faith aAbel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he bobtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his cgifts, and through faith, though dhe is dead, he still speaks.By faith aEnoch was taken up so that he would not bsee death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who acomes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.By faith aNoah, being bwarned by God about cthings not yet seen, din reverence eprepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of fthe righteousness which is according to faith.By faith aAbraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to breceive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.By faith he lived as an alien in athe land of promise, as in a foreign land, bdwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, cfellow heirs of the same promise;

highlighted 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NASB
Love ais patient, love is kind and bis not jealous; love does not brag and is not carrogant,does not act unbecomingly; it adoes not seek its own, is not provoked, bdoes not take into account a wrong suffered,adoes not rejoice in unrighteousness, but brejoices with the truth;abears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Love never fails; but if there are gifts of aprophecy, they will be done away; if there are btongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

highlighted 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NASB
If I speak with the atongues of men and of bangels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a cclanging cymbal.If I have the gift of aprophecy, and know all bmysteries and all cknowledge; and if I have dall faith, so as to eremove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.And if I agive all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I bsurrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

highlighted Jude 1:12-15 NASB
These are the men who are hidden reefs ain your love feasts when they feast with you bwithout fear, caring for themselves; cclouds without water, dcarried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, euprooted;awild waves of the sea, casting up btheir own shame like foam; wandering stars, cfor whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.It was also about these men that aEnoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "bBehold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones,ato execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which bungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

highlighted Jude 1:8-11 NASB
But athese men revile the things which they do not understand; and bthe things which they know by instinct, alike unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.Woe to them! For they have gone athe way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into bthe error of Balaam, and cperished in the rebellion of Korah.Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, adefile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties.But aMichael bthe archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about cthe body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, "dThe Lord rebuke you!"

highlighted Jude 1:1-7 NASB
aJude, a bbond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,aMay mercy and peace and love bbe multiplied to you.aBeloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our bcommon salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you ccontend earnestly for dthe faith which was once for all ehanded down to fthe saints.For certain persons have acrept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand bmarked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn cthe grace of our God into dlicentiousness and edeny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.Now I desire to aremind you, though byou know all things once for all, that the Lord, cafter saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.And aangels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has bkept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,just as aSodom and Gomorrah and the bcities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and cwent after strange flesh, are exhibited as an dexample in undergoing the epunishment of eternal fire.

aAfter these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a bsecret one for cfear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.aNicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bbringing a mixture of cmyrrh and aloes, about a dhundred pounds weight.So they took the body of Jesus and abound it in blinen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a anew tomb bin which no one had yet been laid.Therefore because of the Jewish day of apreparation, since the tomb was bnearby, they laid Jesus there.
