57 | GEN 3:1 | God made lots of animals, but the snake was the animal that had the most brains. He was really smart. One day, the snake went to the woman and said to her, “Did God say, ‘You can’t eat fruit from any of the trees in the garden’? Is that true?” |
65 | GEN 3:9 | God called out to the man, “Where are you?” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | God asked the man, “How do you know that you are naked? Did you eat some of that fruit from the tree that I told you not to eat from?” |
69 | GEN 3:13 | Then God said to the woman, “Why did you do that bad thing?” The woman said, “That snake tricked me. That’s the reason why I ate that fruit.” |
89 | GEN 4:9 | Later, God said to Cain, “Where is your brother, Abel?” Cain said, “I don’t know where my brother is. It’s not my job to look after him.” |
369 | GEN 15:8 | Abram said, “I know you are very powerful, God, but how can I be really sure that I will get all this country?” |
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.” |
434 | GEN 18:9 | Then they said to Abraham, “Where is your wife, Sarah?” Abraham said, “She is right here, in our tent.” |
453 | GEN 18:28 | What if you find only 45 good people in that town, will you still finish up that town?” God said, “If I find 45 good people there, I will not finish up that town.” |
454 | GEN 18:29 | Then Abraham asked God again, he said, “What if you find only 40 good people there?” God said, “If I find 40 good people there, I will not finish up that town.” |
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.” |
456 | GEN 18:31 | Then Abraham said, “I know that I am being brave to talk to God like this, but what if you find only 20 good people in that town?” God said, “If I find 20 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.” |
506 | GEN 20:10 | Why did you do that? Why did you tell us that Sarah is your sister?” |
543 | GEN 21:29 | Abimelek asked him, “Why did you put these 7 sheep to one side? What do you mean by that?” |
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?” |
7282 | 1SA 3:4 | God called out to the boy, “Samuel.” The boy answered, “Yes? What is it?” |
7294 | 1SA 3:16 | But the old man called out to him, “Samuel, come here.” Samuel answered, “Yes? What is it?” |
7305 | 1SA 4:6 | The Philistia mob heard it, and they asked each other, “What’s happening? Why are the Israel mob shouting?” Then they heard that the Israel mob had God’s special box with them, |
7312 | 1SA 4:13 | Eli was a really old man by this time. He was 98 years old, and he was blind. He sat in a chair beside the road. He worried about God’s special box. He was afraid something bad might happen to it. After the messenger arrived at that place, he went around and told the bad news, and lots of people started to cry. Eli heard it and called out to the man, “What’s happening? Why is everybody crying like that?” |
7315 | 1SA 4:16 | The man ran over to Eli and said, “Old man, I ran away from the fighting.” The old man asked, “What happened?” |
7329 | 1SA 5:8 | So they sent messengers to the bosses from other places of the Philistia nation to come and meet together at Ashdod. They asked them, “What will we do with this box of the God of the Israel mob?” They answered, “Send it to another place now, to the town called Gath.” So then they took the special box to Gath. |
7411 | 1SA 9:18 | So Samuel waited for him at the town gate. You see, Saul hadn’t met that old man before. He didn’t know him, so he said to him, “They say there’s an old man that sees dreams from God, and he lives in this place. Where is his house?” |
7452 | 1SA 11:5 | Saul was out in the garden. As he came back with 2 bulls, he heard them crying and asked, “What’s happening? Why is everybody crying?” They told him the story the messengers said. |
7601 | 1SA 16:4 | Samuel listened to God, and he went to Bethlehem. After he got there, the elders of the town came to meet him. They were really afraid. They were so frightened that they shook, and they asked, “Did you come with good news? Or are you angry with us?” |
7608 | 1SA 16:11 | Do you have another son?” Jesse answered, “Yes. There is my youngest son, David. But he is looking after the sheep out in the bush.” Samuel said, “Send somebody to get him and bring him here. We will wait for him. We can’t sit down and eat the meat without him.” |
7650 | 1SA 17:30 | And he asked another man, “What will Saul give to the man that kills Goliath?” The man told him the same thing as before. |
7686 | 1SA 18:8 | Saul heard their words, and he was really angry. He thought, “They reckon David killed more enemy soldiers than me. Maybe they want to make him the boss of us Israel mob, instead of me?” |
7733 | 1SA 20:1 | After that, David ran away from the community called Nayoth in the town called Ramah. He went to Jonathan’s place and asked him, “What have I done? What wrong thing did I do? Why does your father keep on looking for me, to kill me?” |
7758 | 1SA 20:26 | Saul noticed that he was not there, but he thought to himself, “Maybe something has happened to him, so he can’t eat at the ceremony?” (You see, God said that if something happened to somebody first, like maybe they touched a dead body, then they can’t eat at a special ceremony.) So Saul did not ask anybody about David. |
7764 | 1SA 20:32 | Jonathan asked his father, “Why has he got to die? What wrong thing did he do?” |
7776 | 1SA 21:2 | After that, David went to a place called Nob. There was an old man there called Ahimelek. He used to look after God’s ceremonies. He saw David coming with no soldiers. There were just a few work-men with him. This made Ahimelek afraid. He was so frightened that he shook. He asked David, “Why did you come here all by yourself? Where are your soldiers? What happened?” |
7778 | 1SA 21:4 | Do you have any food? I need some. Maybe 5 loaves of bread? Or maybe some other kind of food?” |
7783 | 1SA 21:9 | David said to the old man, “I came with nothing. The big boss told me to go quickly, so I came without my spear and my long knife. Do you have one here?” |
7802 | 1SA 22:12 | Then Saul said, “Listen to me, son of Ahitub.” And Ahimelek said, “What is it, boss?” |
7858 | 1SA 24:17 | After David said that, Saul asked him, “Is that really you, my son David?” And he cried out loud. |
7914 | 1SA 26:6 | There were 2 men with David. They were Ahimelek, the man who used to belong to the Heth mob, and Abishai, Zeruiah’s son. Zeruiah was David’s older sister. Her other son was Joab. David said to them, “I am going to go quietly into the middle of their camp, to where Saul is. Which of you 2 will do that with me?” Abishai said, “I’ll go with you.” |
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?” |
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. |
7956 | 1SA 28:11 | The woman answered, “All right, who do you want me to get for you?” Saul said, “That old man Samuel. Get him for me.” |
7958 | 1SA 28:13 | Saul said, “It’s all right. Don’t be frightened. What can you see?” She said, “I can see a spirit coming out of the ground here.” |
7959 | 1SA 28:14 | Saul asked, “What does it look like?” She said, “It’s an old man wearing long clothes.” Saul knew it was Samuel, and he got down on his knees and put his face near the ground to show respect to that spirit. |
7960 | 1SA 28:15 | Samuel said, “I was dead. Why did you wake me up? Why did you bring me back?” Saul stood up and answered, “Things are really bad for me now. The Philistia mob will try to kill me dead. God turned away from me, and he doesn’t answer me. He doesn’t talk to me through a man, or a dream. Nothing. That’s why I’m here now, to ask you what I have to do.” |
8028 | 2SA 1:3 | David asked, “Where did you come from?” He answered, “I ran away from that hill called Gilboa, from that big fight.” |
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.” |
8265 | 2SA 11:3 | He sent a messenger to ask, “Who is this woman?” The messenger came back and told him, “She is Bathsheba, Eliam’s daughter. Her husband is Uriah, who belongs to the Heth mob.” |
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. |
8308 | 2SA 12:19 | But David saw that his working men talked quietly to each other like that. He worked out that the baby died. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They answered, “Yes.” |
8310 | 2SA 12:21 | His working men were confused. They said, “What’s going on? While the baby was alive, you lay on the floor. You cried, and you ate nothing. But after he died, you got up and ate. We don’t understand. Why didn’t you cry after he died?” |
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. |
8399 | 2SA 15:7 | Absalom did that for 4 years. Then he said to his father, the big boss, “Old man, while I was living at the place called Geshur in Aram country, I said to God, ‘If you will let me go to Jerusalem first, I will go to Hebron later. I will get down on my knees and show respect to you there.’ God heard me say that. So is it all right for me to go to Hebron now?” But he was lying to his father. |
8446 | 2SA 16:17 | Absalom said, “You are a friend of David. You used to follow him. So how come you are not with him now?” |
8449 | 2SA 16:20 | So Absalom said to that wise man, Ahithofel, “All right, tell us, what do we do first?” |
8458 | 2SA 17:6 | Hushai came, and Absalom told him the things Ahithofel said. Then he asked Hushai, “So what do you think? Can we listen to his plan? Or maybe not? What do you reckon?” |
8513 | 2SA 18:32 | David asked, “What about my son Absalom? Is he all right?” The messenger answered, “Those trouble makers, your enemies, I hope they all finish up, just like that young man finished up.” |
16150 | PSA 121:1 | I look up at all the hills, and I ask myself, “Who is the one that helps me?” |
23240 | MAT 2:2 | They asked the Jerusalem people, “Where was that baby born that is going to be the big boss over you Jewish people? You see, back in our country, we saw his special star. We saw it come up into the sky, so we came here, to show our respect for him. Where will we find him?” |
23242 | MAT 2:4 | So Herod had a meeting with the bosses of the Jewish ceremonies and the Jewish law teachers, and he asked them, “Where will that baby be born? You know, the Christ, the man that God promised to send?” |
23245 | MAT 2:7 | So Herod sent for those wise men to come and meet him, but he didn’t tell anyone else about the meeting. He asked them, “When did you first see that star?” |
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.” |
23659 | MAT 13:51 | Then Jesus asked his followers, “Do you understand all these things?” They said, “Yes, we do.” |
23793 | MAT 17:24 | Jesus and his followers went and stayed in the town called Capernium. There were some men that worked in God’s ceremony house. Every year, all the Jewish people had to pay tax money to those men. They used that money to look after God’s ceremony house. Those men went to Peter and asked him, “Is your teacher going to pay the tax money for God’s ceremony house?” |
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?” |
23926 | MAT 21:31 | Then Jesus asked those Jewish leaders, “Which one of that man’s sons did what their father wanted?” They said, “The oldest son did what their father wanted.” Then Jesus said, “Listen. There are people that did bad things, but they will go into God’s family before you mob do. You know, there are some men that get tax money from people and give it to the Roman government. And sometimes a woman does bad things, so if men pay her money she sleeps with them, like a woman sleeps with her husband. But some of those bad people will go into God’s family before you mob do. |
24345 | MRK 2:16 | Some of the Jewish law teachers saw Jesus eating with all those people. Those law teachers also belonged to the Pharisee mob. They were really strong for the law, so they asked Jesus’s followers, “Why does Jesus eat with those people that don’t live God’s way?” |
24347 | MRK 2:18 | The mob called Pharisees, that were strong for the Jewish law, they sometimes stopped eating food for a while to show God that they respected him. The followers of John the Baptiser did the same. Some people went to Jesus and asked him, “How come your followers don’t stop eating food to show God that you respect him, you know, just like the Pharisee mob and John’s followers do?” |
24361 | MRK 3:4 | Then Jesus said to the Pharisee mob, “What does our law say about our rest day? Is it right to do good things on our rest day, or is it right to do bad things? Can I make this man better? Or can I hurt him?” The Pharisee mob said nothing. |
24402 | MRK 4:10 | Some time later, Jesus came away from that big mob of people. Then just his 12 special workers and a few other people sat around him. They said to him, “You tell us picture stories, but we can’t understand them. What are your stories all about?” |
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?” |
24442 | MRK 5:9 | Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Our name is Big Mob. You see, we are a mob of bad spirits inside this man. |
24445 | MRK 5:12 | The bad spirits asked Jesus, “Can we go into that big mob of pigs over there?” |
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?” |
24463 | MRK 5:30 | Jesus knew straight away that power went out from him, so he stopped walking, turned around, and asked the people, “Who touched my clothes?” |
24490 | MRK 6:14 | This is the story about what happened to John, the man that baptised people. The big boss over that country was Herod, and his brother was Philip. Philip’s wife’s name was Herodias. But Herodias left Philip, and Herod married her. John kept on telling Herod, “You are breaking God’s law. You shouldn’t have your brother’s wife.” Herodias hated John for saying that, and she wanted to kill him, but Herod sent some soldiers to grab John and keep him in jail, so Herodias couldn’t do anything to him. John was a good man, one of God’s own men, so Herod respected John, and he was a bit frightened of him too. Herod used to talk with John. He didn’t really understand John’s message, but he liked to listen to him. Some time later, Herod had a birthday party. All the leaders of Herod’s army, and the government bosses from Galilee country, they were all there at Herod’s party. Herodias’s daughter danced for them at that party. Herod and everybody else really liked to watch her dance. She made them really happy, so Herod made a strong promise to her. He told her, “I want to give you something really good. You can ask for anything. I will give you anything you ask for, even as much as half of this country. This is true. I’m not lying.” That young girl went outside and asked her mother, “What will I ask for?” Her mother said, “Go back in and ask the big boss to send a soldier to cut off John the Baptiser’s head and give it to you.” The girl ran back into the party and said to Herod, “I want you to give me John the Baptiser’s head on a big plate, and I want it right now.” When Herod heard her say that, he was really sad. But he didn’t want to break his promise. He didn’t want to feel shame in front of his friends, so he sent a soldier to cut off John’s head, and to bring it back to the girl on a big plate. The soldier went to the jail, and he cut off John’s head, and he brought it back to the party, and he gave it to the young girl, and then she gave it to her mother. John’s friends heard the bad news, so they came and got his body, then they took it away and buried it. Later lots of people heard about what Jesus was doing, and they talked about him all the time. Some people said, “Jesus is really Elijah, that old man that told God’s messages a long time ago. God made him alive again.” Some other people said, “Jesus is a man talking for God, just like those other men that told God’s messages a long time ago.” But some people reckoned, “Jesus is really John the Baptiser. God made John alive again, and God gave him power to do great things.” Herod heard those stories, and he said, “I got my soldiers to cut John’s head off, but this man, Jesus, he has to be John the Baptiser. I reckon God made him alive again.” |
24574 | MRK 8:5 | Jesus said, “How much bread have you got?” The men said, “7 loaves of bread.” |
24587 | MRK 8:18 | You’ve got eyes, but you don’t look. You’ve got ears, but you don’t listen. Do you remember the time we had 5 loaves of bread, and I gave food to 5,000 men? How many baskets of left-over bits did you pick up?” They said, “12 baskets full.” |
24589 | MRK 8:20 | Then Jesus said, “Do you remember the time we had 7 loaves of bread, and I gave food to 4,000 men? How many baskets of left-over bits did you pick up?” They said, “7 baskets full.” |
24590 | MRK 8:21 | Then Jesus asked them, “So how come you still don’t understand about me?” |
24592 | MRK 8:23 | Jesus held the man’s hand and took him outside the town. Then Jesus spat on the man’s eyes, and then put his hands on him and said, “Can you see anything now?” |
24596 | MRK 8:27 | Then Jesus and his followers left Galilee country, and they went north to some towns in the country called Caesarea-Philippi. As they walked along the track, Jesus asked his followers, “When people talk about me, who do they reckon I really am?” |
24598 | MRK 8:29 | Then Jesus asked them, “Who do you reckon I really am?” Peter said straight out, “You are the Christ, the special man that God promised to send to save us.” |
24623 | MRK 9:16 | Jesus asked them, “What are you mob all arguing about?” |
24628 | MRK 9:21 | Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has your boy been like this?” The man said, “For a long time, from when he was a little kid. |
24630 | MRK 9:23 | Jesus said, “You said to me, ‘If you can.’ But you know that God is strong enough to do anything if you trust him to do it, right?” |
24635 | MRK 9:28 | After that, Jesus and his followers went into a house, and his followers asked him quietly, “Why couldn’t we force the bad spirit out of that boy?” |
24640 | MRK 9:33 | While they walked along the road, Jesus’s followers argued with each other about which one of them was the most important. Then, after they got to Capernium, they all went into a house, and Jesus asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” His followers didn’t answer him. They felt too much shame. |
24659 | MRK 10:2 | Some of the Pharisee mob also went to Jesus. They were strong for the Jewish law, and they tried to trick Jesus with a hard question. They said, “Is it all right for a man to break up his marriage, and send his wife away?” |
24660 | MRK 10:3 | Jesus said, “What did Moses write in the law part of God’s book?” |
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?” |
24685 | MRK 10:28 | Peter said to Jesus, “We have left everything to follow you. What about us?” |
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?” |
24693 | MRK 10:36 | Jesus asked them, “What do you want me to do?” |
24694 | MRK 10:37 | They said, “Later you will be the most important leader. Can you make us the next most important? Can you let one of us sit on one side of you, and the other one sit on the other side of you?” |
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.” |
24714 | MRK 11:5 | Some people standing there said to them, “What are you doing? Why are you untying that young donkey?” |
24737 | MRK 11:28 | They asked Jesus straight, “Who told you to hunt all those people out of God’s ceremony house? What big boss said that you can do that?” |
24739 | MRK 11:30 | My question is about John the Baptiser. Who told him to do that washing ceremony for people? Did people tell John to do that, or did God tell him to do it?” |
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?” |
24758 | MRK 12:16 | The men gave Jesus a coin. He looked at it and said, “Who is this on this money? Whose picture is this? And whose name is this?” They said, “That is Caesar, the Roman government’s big boss.” |
