29 | GEN 1:29 | Then God said to them, “Look, I made lots of food plants for you. I made plants that have seeds in them, and trees with fruit on them too. You can eat the seeds from those plants and the fruit from those trees. That bush tucker will be your food. |
58 | GEN 3:2 | The woman said, “No, that’s not true. We can eat fruit from those trees there in the garden. |
68 | GEN 3:12 | The man said, “Yes, but it was the woman that you put here with me, she gave me fruit from that tree, so I ate it.” |
70 | GEN 3:14 | Then God said, “Snake, you did the wrong thing, so I will curse you. I will not curse the other animals, but I will curse all you snakes. From now on, you are going to crawl around on your bellies. You will always be down on the ground in the dirt. |
93 | GEN 4:13 | Cain said to God, “God, you are too hard on me. |
151 | GEN 6:13 | So God said to Noah, “Look, everyone is doing bad things and hurting each other. I’m going to kill everyone, and I will finish up everything on the earth.” |
270 | GEN 11:3 | Then they said to each other, “Look, we can make bricks here. So come on, let’s do that. We will bake them properly so that they are good strong bricks, and we will use them to build a city here. So come on, let’s build a big tall building in that city. It will be so tall that it will go right up into the sky.” You see, they had bricks and tar instead of stones and cement. And they said, “If we do that, everyone will think we are smart. Then we will not go and live all over the earth, but we will stay together right here.” |
300 | GEN 12:1 | This story about Abram started when God said to him, “Abram, I want you to leave your country, your father’s family and all your relatives, and go to the country that I will show you. |
356 | GEN 14:19 | Then Melkizedek prayed for Abram. He said, “God, you are more powerful than any other god. You are the one that made heaven and earth. I’m asking you to be really good to Abram. |
362 | GEN 15:1 | Later on, after Abram saved Lot, Abram had a dream, and God talked to him in that dream. God said, “Abram, don’t be frightened, I will always keep you safe, so that nobody can ever hurt you, and I am going to give you lots of good things.” |
363 | GEN 15:2 | But Abram said, “Yes, God, you are very powerful. But look, I’ve got no son, so it doesn’t matter what you give me. You haven’t given me the one thing I really want. You haven’t given me any kids. So when I die, one of my work-men will get all my things. His name is Eliyezer. He is from Damascus.” |
390 | GEN 16:8 | He said, “Hagar, you belong to Sarai, so why are you sitting out here in the desert? Where are you going?” Hagar said, “I’m running away from my boss, Sarai. She is too hard on me.” |
403 | GEN 17:5 | So I am changing your name from Abram to Abraham.” (That name Abram means father that people respect, and that name Abraham means father of lots of people.) And God said, “Yes, I will make you the father of lots of nations. |
416 | GEN 17:18 | So then Abraham said to God, “Look, I already have a son, Ishmael. I want you to be good to him, so that he will be that son you are talking about.” |
417 | GEN 17:19 | God said, “No, not Ishmael. Listen, your wife Sarah will have a baby boy. He will be your son, and you will call him Isaac.” (That name Isaac means laugh.) And God said, “He will be the son I’m talking about. I will keep this agreement going with him. It will be the same for him, and for all the people that will be born into his family later on. This agreement will go on for ever. |
428 | GEN 18:3 | Abraham said, “Sirs, please come and sit at my place for a while. Let me look after you. |
431 | GEN 18:6 | Then Abraham went quickly into the tent to tell Sarah, and he said, “Quick, get a big bag of really good flour and make some damper for our visitors.” |
432 | GEN 18:7 | Then he ran to his mob of cows and picked out a really good young cow. He gave it to one of his work-men and said, “Quick, kill this young cow, and cook it for our visitors.” |
445 | GEN 18:20 | So God said, “Abraham, I heard about all the really bad things that people do in those 2 towns down there, called Sodom and Gomorrah. A lot of people are telling me that those people are always doing bad things. |
452 | GEN 18:27 | Then Abraham said, “Look, I know that I am just a man and you are God, but I’m being brave and I’m talking to you. I want to ask you another question. |
455 | GEN 18:30 | Then Abraham said, “God, please don’t get angry with me, but I will say a little bit more. What if you find only 30 good people in that town?” God said, “If I find 30 good people there, I will not finish up that town.” |
457 | GEN 18:32 | Then Abraham said, “God, please don’t get angry with me, but I will ask one more question. What if you find only 10 good people in that town?” God said, “If I find 10 good people there, I will not finish up that town.” |
460 | GEN 19:2 | He said, “Sirs, come and stay in my house. You can wash your feet and sleep here tonight, then you can go on your way tomorrow morning.” The men said, “No, it’s all right. We will sleep outside in the park.” |
502 | GEN 20:6 | God kept talking to him in that dream. He said, “Yes, I know that you didn’t want to do anything wrong. You didn’t know that Sarah was a married woman. That’s why I did not let you touch her. I stopped you from doing a bad thing. |
505 | GEN 20:9 | Then Abimelek sent somebody to get Abraham to come to that meeting. Abimelek said to Abraham, “Look, you have made trouble for me and my people. What did I do to you, so that you pay me back with this trouble? You have done a bad thing to us. |
511 | GEN 20:15 | And Abimelek said to Abraham, “Friend, look around at all my country. You can live anywhere you like in this country.” |
549 | GEN 22:1 | A long time later, God tested Abraham. God wanted to see if Abraham trusted him properly, and if Abraham would do anything God told him to do. God called out, “Abraham.” And Abraham said, “Yes, God, I am listening to you.” |
555 | GEN 22:7 | Isaac said, “Dad.” Abraham said, “Yes, son?” And Isaac said, “We’ve got the wood, and the fire, but where is the sheep that we are going to burn to show respect to God?” |
556 | GEN 22:8 | Abraham said, “Son, God will give us the sheep, so that we can show him respect.” And they kept on walking together. |
559 | GEN 22:11 | but God’s angel messenger called out to him from heaven. He said, “Abraham, Abraham.” Abraham stopped, and he said, “Yes?” |
7225 | 1SA 1:11 | “God, you are the boss of everything. I am just your worker. I’m sad. Please help me. Don’t forget about me. I want to ask you this. Let me have a little boy. If you do that, I’ll give him back to you, so he can work for you until he gets old. Nobody will cut his hair, so that other people will see that he belongs to you.” |
7229 | 1SA 1:15 | Hannah answered, “No, old man. I’m not drunk. I haven’t drunk any wine at all. I’m a sad woman. I talked to God, and I told him my story. |
7262 | 1SA 2:20 | Eli used to pray to God for Elkanah and Hannah like this, “God, you gave this woman a boy, just as she asked, and she gave him back to you. So give them other kids now instead of him.” Then they used to go back home. |
7283 | 1SA 3:5 | And he got up and ran to Eli and said, “Yes? What is it? You called out to me.” Eli answered, “No, I didn’t call you. Go back and lie down.” So Samuel went back and lay down. |
7284 | 1SA 3:6 | Then God called out again, “Samuel.” So the boy got up again and went to Eli and said, “Yes? What is it? You called out to me.” The old man said, “No, boy, I didn’t call out to you. Go back and lie down.” |
7288 | 1SA 3:10 | God came and stood close to him, and he said the same thing again, “Samuel.” Samuel said, “Yes, God, talk to me. I’m listening to you.” |
7294 | 1SA 3:16 | But the old man called out to him, “Samuel, come here.” Samuel answered, “Yes? What is it?” |
7563 | 1SA 15:1 | One day, Samuel came to Saul and said, “Listen, Saul. God is the boss of everybody. He was the one that told me to pick you to be the big boss for his people the Israel mob. So listen to this message that he told me today. |
7578 | 1SA 15:16 | But Samuel said, “Stop talking, and listen carefully to me. God talked to me last night. Let me tell you about it.” Saul said, “Yes, tell me.” |
7602 | 1SA 16:5 | Samuel answered, “No, I came happily. I came to burn this young cow with you mob, to give it to God. You have to wash and get ready. You have to be clean in God’s way before we can burn this young cow.” He also told Jesse and his sons to come. And he helped them to get ready. |
7604 | 1SA 16:7 | But God said to Samuel, “No, not this one. I didn’t pick him. You just see that he has a strong tall body. You people look at the outside of a person, but I know what they are like inside. I know the way they think.” |
7605 | 1SA 16:8 | So Samuel asked Jesse to send the next son to him. His name was Abinadab. He came, and Samuel said, “No, God hasn’t picked this one.” |
7606 | 1SA 16:9 | Then Jesse sent Shammah, and Samuel said, “No, God hasn’t picked this one either.” |
7614 | 1SA 16:17 | Saul said to them, “Yes, go and look for somebody, a good guitar player. Bring him to me.” |
7737 | 1SA 20:5 | David said, “Tomorrow, people will come together for the new moon ceremony, as they always do. Lots of people will be at your father’s place to eat food together. He told me to come and eat with him there too. But for the first 2 nights I don’t want to be at the food table, but I will hide in the garden. Is that all right? |
7780 | 1SA 21:6 | David said, “Yes, we always do that when we work for the big boss. Today we have a special job to do, so we have to properly follow that rule. We have not slept with any women.” |
7784 | 1SA 21:10 | The old man answered, “Yes, there is that long knife that belonged to Goliath from Philistia. You killed him dead, down in the valley at Elah. That is all I have. If you like, you can take it. There it is, covered with a blanket, near the special ceremony clothes.” David said, “That is a good knife. It is better than anyone else’s knife. Give it to me.” |
7905 | 1SA 25:41 | She got down on her knees to show respect, her face close to the ground, and she said, “Yes, I will go. I am happy to work for him and his men, and I will even wash their feet too.” |
7922 | 1SA 26:14 | David called out to Abner, “Hey, Abner. Can you hear me?” He answered, “Who’s that calling out? Who’s waking up the big boss?” |
7923 | 1SA 26:15 | David made fun of him, and he said, “Abner, what kind of man are you? You call yourself a big boss soldier, greater than all the other soldiers. But you don’t look after your boss. Just now somebody went into your camp and nearly killed him dead. |
7925 | 1SA 26:17 | Saul heard David’s voice, and said, “David, my son. Is that you talking?” David answered, “Yes, boss. It’s me. |
7961 | 1SA 28:16 | Samuel said, “Yes, God turned away from you. He is your enemy now. Why do you ask me to help you? |
7968 | 1SA 28:23 | But he said, “No. I can’t eat.” Then his 2 men said the same thing, “Boss, you have to eat some food.” He listened to them and got up and sat on a chair. |
8053 | 2SA 2:1 | After that, David asked God, “What do I do now? Maybe I have to go back and stay at some place in Judah country?” God answered, “Yes, go.” David asked, “Which place?” God said, “To the town called Hebron.” |
8138 | 2SA 5:3 | So the elders told that story to David in Hebron. Then he said, “Yes, I agree to be the big boss of everybody. I say that while God is listening.” Then the elders poured olive oil on his head to show that he was the big boss for all the Israel mob. |
8185 | 2SA 7:2 | There was a man called Nathan. He told God’s messages to people. One day, David said to him, “Listen, I live here in this big fancy house, but God’s special box still lives in a tent. I want to build a proper house for that special box.” |
8188 | 2SA 7:5 | He told him to say this to David, “David, you are my working man. Listen to me. I want you to leave it. Don’t build a house for me. And don’t build a house for that special box. |
8269 | 2SA 11:7 | Uriah came, and David said, “Hello, Uriah. Tell me, how’s Joab? Is he all right? Are the soldiers from Israel all right? Are they fighting hard with the Ammon mob?” Uriah answered his questions. |
8302 | 2SA 12:13 | David said to Nathan, “I’m sorry. I did wrong things. I did not listen to God.” Nathan said, “Yes, that’s true. But he will not do payback to you. He will let it go, he will not kill you dead. |
8394 | 2SA 15:2 | And he used to get up early to go and stand at the town gate. People used to walk through that gate into Jerusalem whenever they went to see the big boss. You see, they used to go and ask David to help them sort out their problems. Absalom used to call out to them, “Hey, where are you from?” That person used to tell him the name of his tribe. |
8407 | 2SA 15:15 | The workers said, “Yes, boss. We will do whatever you tell us to do.” |
14653 | PSA 46:11 | God says, “Stop, you mob. Keep still, and think, and you will know that I am the only one that really is God. The people in every nation will respect me. People all over the world will respect me.” |
23233 | MAT 1:20 | While Joseph thought about that, he went to sleep and had a dream. He saw an angel messenger from God. The angel said, “Joseph, you are from the family of David. Look, you can go ahead and marry Mary. Don’t be too frightened to do that. You see, her baby is from the Holy Spirit, not from another man. |
23420 | MAT 8:6 | He said, “Sir, my young work-man is lying in bed at home. He can’t move, and he is hurting a lot.” |
23422 | MAT 8:8 | But the army boss said to Jesus, “Sir, I’m not good enough for you, so it will not be right for you to go into my house. But you can make him better from right here. You can tell that sickness to stop, and leave my work-man, and then he will get better straight away. |
23433 | MAT 8:19 | After they got there, a Jewish law teacher went to Jesus and said, “Teacher, I want to be one of your followers. I will go everywhere with you.” |
23435 | MAT 8:21 | There was another man that was already a follower of Jesus. He said to Jesus, “Sir, I will come with you. But my father has died, so let me go home to bury him. After that, I will come with you.” |
23476 | MAT 9:28 | Jesus went into a house, and the blind men went to him. He asked them, “Do you believe that I can make your eyes good, so you will see again?” The men said, “Yes, sir, we believe that you can do that.” |
23553 | MAT 11:25 | At that time, Jesus prayed to God. He said, “Father, you are the biggest boss. You are the boss over everything in the sky and everything on the earth. There are some people here that reckon they are smart, and they reckon they understand everything. And there are other people that are just like little kids. They know that they are not smart. Thank you for showing what your message means to those people that are like kids. And thank you for not showing it to those people that reckon they are smart. |
23555 | MAT 11:27 | Then Jesus told the people, “God, my father, gave me everything, so I can teach people all about him. You see, I am God’s son, and my father knows me properly. Nobody else knows me properly. And I know my father properly. I pick some people, and I show them what my father is like, but nobody else knows God properly.” |
23596 | MAT 12:38 | One day, some Jewish law teachers, and some of the Pharisee mob, that were strong for the Jewish law, they went to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we want to see you do something powerful. That will show us that God sent you.” |
23659 | MAT 13:51 | Then Jesus asked his followers, “Do you understand all these things?” They said, “Yes, we do.” |
23794 | MAT 17:25 | Peter said, “Yes.” Then Peter went into the house where they were staying, to talk to Jesus about it. But Jesus talked first. He said, “Peter, think about the big bosses in this world. They take money from people, but what do you reckon? Do they take it from their own mob, or do they take it from other people?” |
23817 | MAT 18:21 | Then Peter went up to Jesus and said, “Teacher, if somebody is always doing wrong things to me, how many times do I have to forget it and not do payback to that person? If I forget it 7 times, is that enough? Then if they do another wrong thing, I can do payback, right?” |
23818 | MAT 18:22 | Jesus said, “No, not 7 times, but I say lots of times, like 77 times.” |
24261 | MAT 27:63 | They said, “Sir, we can remember the things Jesus said while he was still alive. That man tried to get people to believe things that are not true. He said, ‘I will die, and then after 2 nights, on the 3rd day, I will come alive again.’ |
24282 | MAT 28:18 | Then Jesus said to them, “God, my father, has made me boss over everything now. I’m boss over everything up in heaven. And I’m boss over everything down here on the earth. |
24346 | MRK 2:17 | Jesus heard them, and said to them, “Listen, sick people need a doctor, but healthy people don’t need a doctor. I’m telling you, I’m like a doctor. You mob reckon these people do bad things, so I’m here to help them turn around and do good things. But you mob think you never do anything wrong yourselves, so I can’t help you.” |
24430 | MRK 4:38 | Jesus was asleep in the back of the boat with his head on a pillow. His followers were frightened, so they woke him up, and they shouted at him, “Teacher, we will all drown, and you don’t care. Why don’t you do something?” |
24451 | MRK 5:18 | Jesus listened to them, and he started to get into the boat. Then the man that used to have the bad spirits in him, asked Jesus, “Please, can I come with you?” |
24452 | MRK 5:19 | Jesus said, “No, I want you to go back to your family, and to your own mob. I want you to tell everybody about the good things God did for you. Tell them that God felt sorry for you, and he was really good to you.” |
24560 | MRK 7:28 | The woman said, “Yes, teacher, you are right about that, but while the kids in that picture story are eating, they drop a few little bits of food, and the dogs under the table can eat those little bits of food. So you can still do a little thing to help me, even though I’m not Jewish.” |
24580 | MRK 8:11 | There were some of the Pharisee mob at that place. They were strong for the Jewish law. They heard people say that Jesus was there, so they came to talk to him. They wanted to trick him, so they started to argue with him. They said, “Hey, show us that God sent you here. Do something powerful so we can see that you have special power from God.” |
24593 | MRK 8:24 | The man looked around and said, “Yes, I can see a little bit. I can see people, but they look like trees walking around.” |
24608 | MRK 9:1 | Then Jesus said, “Listen, some of you people will see a very special thing. God will show you that he is boss over everything, and you will see that he is really powerful. You will see that happen before you die.” |
24612 | MRK 9:5 | Peter, James and John were very surprised and frightened, and they didn’t know what to say. But Peter talked anyway. He said to Jesus, “Teacher, it is good that we are here. We can put up 3 special bush shades here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” |
24624 | MRK 9:17 | One of them said, “Teacher, my son has a bad spirit inside him, and it stops him from talking. |
24626 | MRK 9:19 | Jesus said, “Look, you mob, I’ve been here with you a long time, but still you don’t trust God properly. I can’t stay here and wait for you for ever. All right, bring the boy here to me.” |
24632 | MRK 9:25 | Jesus looked around, and he saw a big mob of people coming to watch, so he talked strongly to the bad spirit. He said, “Listen, you bad spirit. You stop people from talking and hearing. I’m telling you now, come out of this little boy, and stay out of him. You can never go back into him.” |
24645 | MRK 9:38 | John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw a man forcing bad spirits out of people, and he was using your power by saying your name. But he’s not one of our mob. So we told him to stop.” |
24674 | MRK 10:17 | After that, Jesus started to leave that place. Then a man ran up to him and got down on his knees to show Jesus respect. The man said, “Teacher, you are a good man. Tell me, what can I do so that I will live with God for ever?” |
24677 | MRK 10:20 | That man said, “Teacher, I always do all those things. I always lived like that, from when I was a boy.” |
24686 | MRK 10:29 | Jesus said, “Listen, if anyone leaves anything, so that they can tell people God’s good news, they will get back more than they leave. If somebody leaves their home, or their brothers, or their sisters, or their mother, or their father, or their kids, or their land, so that they can follow me and tell people God’s good news, they will get a much better life. They will get a lot more homes, a lot more brothers and sisters, a lot more mothers, a lot more kids, and a lot more land. But I have to tell you this too. If they do this work for me, they will get trouble from other people. But later they will live with God for ever. |
24692 | MRK 10:35 | Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, went up to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we want you to do something good for us. Will you do what we ask you?” |
24704 | MRK 10:47 | Bartimayus heard that Jesus, from Nazareth, was coming along the road, so he started to yell out, “Jesus, you belong to David’s family, and you are the man that God promised to send to us. Please feel sorry for me, and help me.” |
24706 | MRK 10:49 | Jesus stopped and said, “Tell him to come to me.” So they called out to the blind man, and they said, “Listen, Jesus is calling out for you. So you can be happy now. Get up and go to him.” |
24708 | MRK 10:51 | Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” That blind man said, “Teacher, I just want to see again.” |
24718 | MRK 11:9 | Some of the people walked in front of Jesus, and some of them walked behind him. They all kept on yelling out, “God, you are really great and powerful. God, we want you to look after the man you have sent. Make him strong and happy. |
24730 | MRK 11:21 | Peter remembered the words Jesus said to it, and Peter said, “Teacher, that tree you cursed is already dead and dry.” |
24756 | MRK 12:14 | They said to Jesus, “Teacher, we know that you always want to do the right thing, and you always say true words. You talk to everyone the same way, people that are important and people that are not important. You always teach God’s words the right way. Well, we have a question about the Roman government bosses over our country. Is it right or wrong for us Jews to pay tax money to them?” |
