31 | GEN 1:31 | And God looked and saw that all the things he had made were good. Then night came. That was the sixth night. And then a new day dawned and it was morning. |
33 | GEN 2:2 | He worked for six days from when he started until he finished it all, and then he stopped working. |
48 | GEN 2:17 | except one. This tree gives knowledge about what is good and what is bad and you mustn't eat its fruit. If you do eat it you will die the same day.” |
138 | GEN 5:32 | When Noah was 500 years old he had his family. His first son was Shem, the next was Japheth and the youngest was Ham. |
274 | GEN 11:7 | “Let us go down and mix up their language so that they won't understand each other.” |
275 | GEN 11:8 | And Yahweh went down and mixed up their language and sent them all over the world. So the people stopped building the city. |
276 | GEN 11:9 | They called the city Babylon because Yahweh mixed up their language there and Babylon means “he mixed up the language.” And so Yahweh sent the people all over the world and they didn't know each other any more. |
338 | GEN 14:1 | There was a man called Chedorlaomer who was a powerful king in his own city called Elam. He became ruler over five other kings, Bera, Birsha, Shinah, Shemeber and the king of the city called Bela. That city had two names, Bela and Zoar. Bera was the king of Sodom, Birsha was the king of Gomorrah, Shinah was the king of Admah and Shemeber was the king of Zeboiim. Chedorlaomer had been ruler over the other five kings for a long time. He had ruled over them and all their people for twelve years. The next year the five kings decided that they wouldn't obey him any longer. The next year Chedorlaomer took his soldiers to a place called Ashteroth Karnaim, and three other kings took their soldiers there to help him. Their names were Amraphel, Arioch and Tidal. Amraphel was the king of Babylonia, Arioch was the king of Ellasar and Tidal was the king of Goiim. Those four kings had a lot of soldiers and they helped each other. They fought against the people called Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim. Then they went to Ham and fought against the people called Zuzim. Then they went to a flat place called Kiriathaim and fought against the people called Emim. They killed many of the Rephaim and the Zuzim and the Emim. From there they went to the hill country of Edom and fought against the Horite people. They killed many of the people and ran after some of them, driving them away until they reached Elparan on the edge of the desert. From there they turned around and came back to a place called Kadesh. At that time it was called Enmishpat, but today it is called Kadesh. They kept on fighting people and they took all the country that belonged to the Amalekites. Then they fought the Amorite people who lived in Hazazon Tamar and they killed many of them. Then the five kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela got their soldiers together in a flat place called Siddim to fight the four kings of Elam, Goiim, Babylonia and Ellasar. At that time there was no sea there, but today there is a sea there called the Dead Sea. |
419 | GEN 17:21 | “As for Isaac, Sarah will give birth to him next year. Then I will keep my covenant, the one that you and I have made, with Isaac in his turn.” |
485 | GEN 19:27 | The next morning Abraham got up and went to the place where he had talked with Yahweh. He hurried up the hill |
492 | GEN 19:34 | The next day the older daughter said to her sister, “I slept with him last night, so now let's make him drunk again tonight and you can sleep with him this time. Then our father will make both of us pregnant.” |
504 | GEN 20:8 | The next morning Abimelech got up and called all his important servants and told them about the dream, and they were very frightened. |
528 | GEN 21:14 | The next morning Abraham got up and gave Hagar food and water. In that country people used to take a bullock's skin and sew it like a bag for water. So she carried water in a bullock's skin on her shoulder for them to drink on the way. Then Abraham sent Ishmael off with his mother and they went away. The old man sent them both right away from there. They went on and on until they reached a desert place called Beersheba, and they wandered about there. |
551 | GEN 22:3 | The next morning Abraham got up and chopped some firewood and put it on a donkey, and he called two of his servants and his son Isaac to come to him. And then they went off together to the place that God had told Abraham about. |
588 | GEN 23:16 | Abraham agreed and counted the money that Ephron had said, in front of everyone. Then he put down 400 coins. He made the money exactly right so that it would be the full amount. |
645 | GEN 24:53 | Then he brought clothes and jewellery made of silver and gold and other precious things and gave them to Rebecca. And he gave expensive presents to her brother and her mother. |
646 | GEN 24:54 | Then Abraham's servant and the men with him ate and drank and spent the night in Bethuel's house. Then the next morning Abraham's servant got up and said to Rebecca's family, “Let me go back to my master now.” |
685 | GEN 25:26 | When the second one was born, he was holding on tightly to the heel of the first. So he was named Jacob, because Jacob means “he is holding the heel.” But when people talk about others and say, “He is holding the heel,” that means, “he is tricking people.” Their father Isaac was sixty years old when they were born. |
724 | GEN 26:31 | And then they slept. The next morning Abimelech and Isaac got up and talked together. They promised not to fight each other and not to change their minds. First one promised and then the other. Then Isaac said, “Now you can go home.” Isaac stayed in his camp and Abimelech and his two servants went back to Gerar. Now they were friends. |
792 | GEN 28:18 | Jacob got up next morning and took the stone that his head had been resting on and stood it up there so that people would know that Yahweh had come and appeared there. Then he poured olive oil on the stone so that it would belong to God. |
821 | GEN 29:25 | Jacob didn't know that he had slept with Leah until the next morning. He went to Laban and said, “Why have you done this to me? I worked hard to get Rachel, and you have tricked me!” |
850 | GEN 30:19 | Then Leah became pregnant again and she had another son for Jacob. Now she had six children. |
851 | GEN 30:20 | She said, “God has given me a precious baby. So now my husband will be pleased with me, because I have given him six sons.” She named him Zebulun, because Zebulun means “he was pleased with me.” |
900 | GEN 31:26 | The next day Laban went to Jacob and said, “Why did you trick me and take my daughters just as people take women away in a war? |
915 | GEN 31:41 | “It was like that the whole time I was with you. I worked for fourteen years for you to give me your daughters. Then afterwards I worked another six years for your sheep and goats. But you changed my pay ten times. |
929 | GEN 32:1 | The next morning Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters goodbye, and then he went back home. |
939 | GEN 32:11 | You didn't leave me all the time I was in Mesopotamia, you were kind to me. But I didn't do anything good for you. When I crossed the Jordan River the first time, I had nothing except a walking stick, but you have given me many good things. So today I have these two groups of people and two groups of animals. |
945 | GEN 32:17 | He separated the animals into five groups, goats, sheep, camels, bullocks and donkeys, all in separate groups. And he told five servants to look after them. He said to them, “Go on ahead now. Let one group go first and let the next group follow later.” |
1051 | GEN 36:10 | His five sons were called Eliphaz, the son of Adah, Reuel the son of Basemath, and Jeush, Jalam and Korah, the three sons of Oholibamah. Oholibamah's father was Anah and her grandfather was Zibeon. The six sons of Eliphaz were called Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz and Amalek. Amalek's mother was a woman called Timna. The four sons of Reuel were called Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. |
1156 | GEN 39:6 | Potiphar trusted Joseph so he gave him everything in his house to look after and he didn't have to think about anything except the food he ate. After a while Potiphar's wife saw that Joseph was very good-looking. He was so strong and good-looking that she wanted to sleep with him. She asked him |
1159 | GEN 39:9 | I am his servant but I am a master in his house just like him. He hasn't held on to anything of his except you, his wife. I don't want to do anything wrong and I won't sin against Yahweh.” |
1181 | GEN 40:8 | They answered, “Each of us had a dream, but there is no one here to explain the dreams to us.” Joseph said, “Only God can show people about dreams. Tell them to me.” |
1204 | GEN 41:8 | In the morning the king was worried about his dreams and he called all the wise men who lived in Egypt to come to him. He told them about his dreams, but no one could explain them to him. |
1207 | GEN 41:11 | We were with a young Hebrew man who was working for the officer. We both had a dream on the same night, but our dreams were different. We told our dreams to the man and he explained them to us. |
1211 | GEN 41:15 | The king said to him, “I have had a dream, and no one can explain it to me. But my servant told me that you know how to explain people's dreams to them.” |
1212 | GEN 41:16 | Joseph answered, “I can't explain it. But God will explain it to you and you will be happy.” |
1220 | GEN 41:24 | But those thin ones swallowed the fat ones. I told my wise men, but none of them could explain my two dreams for me.” |
1236 | GEN 41:40 | I will put you in charge of my country, and all my people will obey your orders. I am the king and I hold all Egypt. But you will be next to me so that everyone will obey you too. |
1250 | GEN 41:54 | Then seven bad years came, just as Joseph had said. The food didn't grow any more and people in every other country were hungry, except in Egypt where there was food in the storehouses. |
1328 | GEN 44:3 | The next morning Joseph got up and let the men go with their donkeys. So they set off. |
1330 | GEN 44:5 | Why did you steal that special cup of his? No one else drinks from that cup except him because he owns it. When he wants to find out about people and about what they have done, that's what he would use to show him. You have done a very bad thing!’” |
1337 | GEN 44:12 | The servant searched very carefully. He began by looking in the oldest one's bag. That was Reuben's. Then he looked in the next brother's bag and in the next. He kept on looking until he found the cup in the bag of the youngest brother Benjamin. |
1397 | GEN 46:10 | Simeon and his six sons also went. Their names were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar and Shaul. Shaul's mother was a Canaanite woman. |
1402 | GEN 46:15 | Leah had these six sons of Jacob's while he was in Mesopotamia. Jacob and Leah's daughter Dinah was also born there. All Leah's sons, her grandsons, her great-grandsons and her daughter Dinah were 33 people altogether. |
1439 | GEN 47:18 | The next year the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Our money is all gone, and all our animals are yours now. We can't hide this and we are telling the truth. We have nothing left to give you. There are only our bodies and our land. |
1447 | GEN 47:26 | So Joseph made a law for all the people of Egypt about their land. He said, “Every year when you collect the food you have grown, you must give some to the king. If you have five bags of food, you must give him one, and if you have ten bags you must give him two. You must do that every year.” This is still the law today. All the land of Egypt belongs to the king, except the land of the priests. |
1533 | GEN 50:26 | So Joseph died there in Egypt. He had lived 110 years. His family put sweet-smelling oil and powder on his body and put it in a special box. |
22604 | JON 1:4 | And Jonah went down inside the ship and went to sleep. The ship went on and on, out into the middle of the sea. But Yahweh knew that Jonah had gone on board, and so he sent a very strong wind. A big storm hit the ship and a very big sea rose and nearly broke it up. The sailors were very frightened, and they each spoke to their gods, so that they would help them and save them. But the wind kept blowing stronger and stronger and the sea kept on rising and became rougher and rougher. So they took a lot of big boxes and food and other things and threw them overboard and made the ship lighter. |
22644 | JON 4:7 | At dawn the next day God sent a caterpillar and it ate the plant he had grown for shade for Jonah. And the plant died. |
22647 | JON 4:10 | Yahweh said to Jonah, “One night that plant grew and the next night it died. You didn't make it grow and yet you felt sorry for it, didn't you! |
24998 | LUK 1:36 | “Look, your relative Elizabeth is also having a baby, even though she is an old woman. She hasn't been able to have children all these years, but now she has been pregnant for six months. |
25048 | LUK 2:6 | They went a long way, and when they arrived in Bethlehem Mary was ready to have her baby, but there was nowhere for them to stay in any of the houses. So they stayed in a little building where they kept the animals. And Mary gave birth to her first son, and she wrapped him in some cloth and put him in the box used for the animals' food. |
25054 | LUK 2:12 | “You will find the baby wrapped in cloth and lying in a box, in a little building where they keep the animals. When you find him, you will know that this message is true.” |
25058 | LUK 2:16 | And they hurried off. They went to Bethlehem and found Joseph and Mary, and saw the baby lying in the box in the place where they kept the animals. |
25103 | LUK 3:9 | “Listen! God will decide about you all, whether you people are good or bad. God is working like a man who chops trees down with an axe. He chops down all the trees that haven't had any good fruit. He cuts them underneath at the roots and throws them into the fire and burns them. God will work like that, and he is ready to work now.” |
25106 | LUK 3:12 | There were some people who worked for the Roman rulers taking tax money from other people to give to the Romans. They also came to John to be baptized and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?” |
25107 | LUK 3:13 | John said, “When you take tax money, take what you have been told, and no more.” |
25130 | LUK 3:36 | And Shelah's father was Cainan. And Cainan's father was Arphaxad. And Arphaxad's father was Shem. And Shem's father was Noah. And Noah's father was Lamech. |
25174 | LUK 4:42 | At daybreak the next day Jesus left Capernaum and went away by himself. But the people started looking for him, and when they found him they wanted him to stay with them. |
25203 | LUK 5:27 | After Jesus had healed the crippled man and forgiven his sins, he came out of the house. As he went along, Jesus found a man called Levi. This man had two names, Levi and Matthew. He worked for the Roman rulers, so he had a small building beside the road for his work. He collected tax money from people as they went along the road and passed the building. He took their money to give to the Romans. As Jesus went along the road, he saw Levi sitting inside his office, and he said to him, “Come and follow me.” |
25206 | LUK 5:30 | But some Pharisees and teachers of Moses' law knew that Jesus had gone to Levi's house. And they complained and said to Jesus' disciples, “Why are you eating together in that man's house? You eat with people who collect tax money. You eat with sinners!” |
25278 | LUK 7:14 | Then he went over to the dead man and put his hand on the box. The men who were carrying the body stood still. Then Jesus spoke to the dead man. “Get up!” he said. |
25293 | LUK 7:29 | All the people heard Jesus. And some men who worked for the Romans and collected tax money heard too, and they praised God. Those people had all heard John before this. They had obeyed God and John had baptized them, and now they heard Jesus. |
25298 | LUK 7:34 | Then I, the one who was born in this place, arrived afterwards. You see me eating food and drinking wine, and you say, ‘This man is greedy. He is always eating and drinking strong wine. And he goes around with sinners and people who collect tax money.’ That is the kind of thing you are always saying about me. First of all you didn't want John and now today you don't want me either. |
25301 | LUK 7:37 | In the same town there was a woman who was a sinner. She had been a sinner for a long time. But she knew that Jesus was eating in Simon's house. So she got a jar of expensive perfume. It was a beautiful smelling oil in a white stone jar. She took it to Simon's house and when she arrived she went inside too. |
25310 | LUK 7:46 | You didn't pour any olive oil on my head so that people would know you are happy that I have come to your house. But this woman bought some expensive sweet-smelling perfume, and she has poured it over my feet. |
25325 | LUK 8:11 | Then Jesus explained the story to his disciples. He said, “Those seeds are like God's words. |
25407 | LUK 9:37 | The next day Jesus and his three disciples went down from the hill and many people met them there. |
25556 | LUK 12:28 | God made the lovely wattle, but the flowers don't last long. One day they are bright and beautiful, but the next day they dry up quickly and die. Maybe they get burnt in a fire. You don't trust God but God will surely give you people clothes to wear.” |
25568 | LUK 12:40 | “And you disciples of mine must wait for me, because I, the one who was born in this place, will come back again when you aren't expecting me. I will come back while you aren't watching.” |
25588 | LUK 13:1 | At that time some people told Jesus what Pilate had done. They said, “Pilate told his soldiers to kill some Galilean people. They had gone from Galilee to the temple in Jerusalem to sacrifice animals for God. The soldiers killed them because Pilate told them to do it, and their blood was mixed with the blood of the animals.” |
25595 | LUK 13:8 | His servant said, “Leave it for one more year. First let me dig the ground, and then I will put in some bullock's manure to make it better. Let it stay here until next hot season. |
25601 | LUK 13:14 | But the ruler of the synagogue was angry, because Jesus had healed the woman on the Sabbath. So he spoke to the people. “We can work for six days,” he said, “but we mustn't do any work today because it is the Sabbath. If you want people to heal you, then don't look for anyone to heal you on the Sabbath but come here during those other days.” |
25620 | LUK 13:33 | But I am going to Jerusalem. I will follow the road to Jerusalem today, and tomorrow and the next day. I am going there because all God's prophets must die in Jerusalem and nowhere else. |
25657 | LUK 14:35 | We will have to throw it away. We can't put it on the ground to make the soil good. And we can't mix it with bullock's manure to make the plants grow well. We can't do anything because the salt is quite useless. “So listen carefully to everything I have told you. Don't let it go in one ear and out the other, but keep on thinking carefully about it.” |
25658 | LUK 15:1 | And now many people wanted to listen to Jesus. Some of them worked for the Roman rulers, taking tax money from other Jewish people to give to the Romans. They came up to Jesus with some other bad people. |
25708 | LUK 16:19 | Then Jesus told the Pharisees this story. There was once a very important person who was very rich. He had plenty of belongings, money and food, and he always wore expensive clothes. Every day he ate the best food. |
25749 | LUK 17:29 | On the same day that Lot left Sodom, God sent fire from heaven, and it burnt everything and all those people of Sodom died. They all died except Lot. |
25767 | LUK 18:10 | There were two men living in Jerusalem. One was a Pharisee and the other man worked for the Roman rulers and collected tax money from people. They both went to the temple to pray to God. |
25771 | LUK 18:14 | After Jesus had told the people this story, he said to them, “God wasn't pleased with the Pharisee but he was pleased with that tax collector. So if you aren't proud, God will say to you, ‘You are important.’ But if any of you are proud, God will make you ashamed.” |
25776 | LUK 18:19 | Jesus said, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God. |
25802 | LUK 19:2 | There was a very rich man called Zacchaeus there. He was an important person who worked for the Roman rulers collecting tax money from people to give to the Romans. |
25870 | LUK 20:22 | So tell us, when people collect tax money from us to send away to that ruler Caesar in Rome, is that right? Should we pay taxes or not?” |
25896 | LUK 21:1 | While Jesus was in the temple, he looked around and saw rich people coming and putting money in the money box to give to God. |
25898 | LUK 21:3 | Jesus said to his disciples, “Some people have put a lot of money in the box, but this widow has put in only a little. Yet she has really done better than they have. |
26006 | LUK 23:2 | Then they began to blame him there at Pilate's place. They said to Pilate, “We found this man speaking bad words. He has been teaching the people, telling them not to pay their tax money to the ruler Caesar. And he has said, ‘I am the Messiah - I am a king.’” |
26087 | LUK 24:27 | Then Jesus explained to them everything that was written about him long ago in God's book. He told them what Moses said and also what the prophets said. |
26092 | LUK 24:32 | They said to each other, “We felt excited when Jesus spoke to us, when we were coming along the road and he was explaining God's word to us.” |
26105 | LUK 24:45 | Then Jesus explained God's words to his disciples so that they would understand, |
29308 | EPH 2:12 | At that time you weren't with Christ, and you were different from us Jews, the ones God had chosen. You didn't know the promises God gave us his people. He didn't make those promises to you but to us Jewish people. At that time you didn't know God. So you didn't believe in him, and you didn't think about being with God tomorrow or next month. |
29783 | 1TI 1:20 | Two men, Hymenaeus and Alexander, have kept on doing wrong, and I have given them to Satan, so that he can control them. Because of that they will know that they have done wrong and stop speaking badly about God. |
29792 | 1TI 2:9 | And I don't want the women to wear the wrong kind of clothes that will make us feel ashamed. They should wear the right kind of clothes. And they shouldn't make themselves beautiful with gold bangles and lovely necklaces and expensive clothes and doing different things to their hair. |
