301	GEN 12:2	‘I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will bless you. I will make you very great, so that many people will know your name. Then you will bless others.
311	GEN 12:12	When the Egyptians see you they will think, ‘That is Abram's wife.’ Maybe they will kill me and let you live.
312	GEN 12:13	So tell them, ‘I am Abram's sister,’ and then they will let me live and they will be kind to me.”
318	GEN 12:19	Because you said, ‘This woman is my sister,’ I took her for my wife. That was very wrong to trick me. Now take your wife and go! Get right away from me!”
359	GEN 14:22	Abram answered, “I will not keep anything of yours, not even a piece of string or a sandal strap. I say this to you and I use Yahweh's name. He is the one who made heaven and all the world. I am telling you this so that Yahweh, the greatest God, will hear and I won't change it. Then you can never say, ‘I have helped Abram to become rich.’
438	GEN 18:13	Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did your wife laugh? Why did she say, ‘Am I really going to have a child, when I am an old woman?’
439	GEN 18:14	I am Yahweh and I can do anything. I have already said, ‘In nine months I will come back and Sarah will have a son.’”
501	GEN 20:5	Abraham himself said, ‘This woman is my sister.’ And she said, ‘He is my brother.’ So what I did was all right. I did nothing wrong.”
507	GEN 20:11	Abraham answered, “I thought, ‘None of these people obey God. They will kill me to get my wife.’
509	GEN 20:13	So when God sent me from my father's country to other countries, this is what I told her. ‘Say to people, This is my brother. Then I will know that you really love me.’”
521	GEN 21:7	No one ever said to my husband, ‘Your wife will nurse her own baby,’ but now I have given birth to a baby boy for an old man.”
544	GEN 21:30	Abraham answered, “Take these seven lambs for yourself. If you take them, then later you can say, ‘Abraham is the one who dug this well.’” So Abimelech took the seven lambs,
564	GEN 22:16	“Listen to these words of Yahweh,” he said. “Yahweh said, ‘I am making a promise, and I am using my own name so that my promise will be strong and I won't change it. I will bless you because you didn't try to keep your only son for yourself. I am making this promise and it won't change.
599	GEN 24:7	Long ago Yahweh brought me here from my father's home and from my family. Yahweh is the God who made the heavens, and he made a promise to me. He said to me, ‘I will give this country to you and to your descendants.’ He will send his angel ahead of you, to help you get a wife there for my son.
606	GEN 24:14	I will speak to one of them and say, ‘Please put down your jar and let me have a drink.’ Maybe she will say, ‘Yes, drink. And then I will also bring water for your camels.’ If she says that to me, I want her to be the one you have already chosen for Isaac's wife. Then I will know that you have kept the promise you made to Abraham.”
631	GEN 24:39	I said, ‘What will I do if she won't come with me?’
632	GEN 24:40	And Abraham said, ‘Yahweh himself, the one I still obey as I have always done, will help you. He will send his angel to you to help you and show you what to do. You will get a wife for my son from my own people.
637	GEN 24:45	“I was praying quietly, and while I was still praying Rebecca came with a water-jar on her shoulder. She went down to the well for water and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
639	GEN 24:47	I said, ‘Who is your father?’ She answered, ‘My father is called Bethuel, and his father is Nahor and his mother is Milcah.’ Then I put the ring in her nose and the two bangles on her arms.
697	GEN 26:4	I will give you many descendants. They will be so many they will be like the stars you can see in the sky, and I will give them all these lands. Different people will all say to me, ‘Bless us, just as you blessed Isaac.’
702	GEN 26:9	Abimelech called for Isaac and said to him, “She is your wife, isn't she! Why did you tell people she was your sister?” Isaac said, “I thought, ‘People here might kill me so that they can take my wife.’”
715	GEN 26:22	Then Isaac and his people got up and moved camp and dug another well, but there was no argument this time. Isaac said, “Yahweh has given us a place to live, so now everything will be all right for us here. This well will be called ‘He Gave Us a Place.’”
735	GEN 27:7	He said, ‘Bring me an animal and cook it for me so I can eat it. Then I will give you my special blessing before I die, and Yahweh himself will hear it.’
757	GEN 27:29	May nations work for you as servants. May they say, ‘You are a great person,’ and bow down to you. May you rule over your family. May they also bow down to you. If people curse you, may they be cursed too. But if they speak good words to you, may good come to them too.”
844	GEN 30:13	And Leah said, “I am so happy! Now women will say, ‘She is a happy woman’.” So she named him Asher, because Asher means “happiness.”
882	GEN 31:8	Sometimes Laban said, ‘I will give you the spotted goats.’ Then all the goats had spotted young. Sometimes he said, ‘I will give you the striped goats.’ Then all the goats had striped young.
885	GEN 31:11	Then God's angel spoke to me in the dream and said, ‘Jacob!’ ‘What is it?’ I answered.
886	GEN 31:12	He said, ‘Listen to God's message. God said, The male goats that are mating are striped or spotted. I am making this happen because I have seen all the harm that Laban has been doing to you.
913	GEN 31:39	When a wild animal killed any of your sheep I gave you some of mine. I didn't take them to you to show you so that you would know that it was not my fault. You said to me, ‘If anyone steals one of my sheep or goats during the day or during the night you will have to give me one of your own.’
946	GEN 32:18	He said to the first servant, “When my brother Esau meets you he will ask, ‘Who is your master? And where are you going? And whose are these goats and other animals?’
947	GEN 32:19	Then you must say, ‘They belong to Jacob. He is ready to obey you and he has sent these for you. He is coming after us.’”
1239	GEN 41:43	He also gave him a carriage pulled by horses for him to ride in. It was a very good one just like the king's. The king spoke again to Joseph and said, “When you ride in the carriage, my servants will go along the road ahead of you and call out, ‘Move out of the way! Move back for the governor!’
1240	GEN 41:44	“I am the king, so everyone in Egypt must obey me. I have said to them, ‘You must all obey Joseph's orders. You must go to him and ask his permission before you do anything.’”
1284	GEN 42:31	“But we said, ‘We are not spies. We are honest men.
1286	GEN 42:33	“The man said, ‘I will find out the truth about you and decide if you are honest men. One of you will stay here with me. The rest of you will take food to your families so that they don't starve.
1298	GEN 43:7	They answered, “But he kept on asking about our family and he said, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you any more brothers?’ So we had to tell him. We didn't know he would tell us to bring our brother with us.”
1329	GEN 44:4	When they had gone a little way, Joseph spoke to the servant in charge of his house. “Go quickly,” he said. “Run after the men. When you reach them, say to them, ‘What have you done to my master? He was good to you but you have paid back evil to him.
1344	GEN 44:19	You said, ‘Is your father alive? Have you got another brother?’
1347	GEN 44:22	But we said, ‘He can't leave his father, because if he leaves him his father will die.’
1348	GEN 44:23	Then you said, ‘If you don't bring your youngest brother here, I won't let you come into my house again.’
1352	GEN 44:27	Our father said to us, ‘You know that my wife Rachel had only two sons.
1357	GEN 44:32	“And also I told my father that I myself would look after him and bring him back to him. I said, ‘If I don't bring him back safely, you can always blame me.’
1368	GEN 45:9	“Now go straight away to my father with a message from me. Say to him, ‘God has made your son Joseph the ruler of all Egypt. So don't wait, but go to him quickly,
1419	GEN 46:32	I will say to him, ‘My brothers have brought all their sheep and cattle here from Canaan, so that they can look after them here. They are shepherds. And they have brought all their things here with them.’
1421	GEN 46:34	tell him that, and say, ‘Our ancestors always looked after sheep and cattle and we do the same. We looked after them while we were children and we are still looking after them today.’ When he hears that, he won't refuse, he will let you stay in this whole area of Goshen where you are now.” Joseph said this because he knew that the Egyptian people don't like that kind of work or the shepherds who do that work.
1456	GEN 48:4	He said, ‘I will give you many children, so that your descendants will become many nations. I will give this country to your descendants to be theirs forever.’” Today the place Luz is called Bethel.
1472	GEN 48:20	Jacob gave the two boys another blessing and said, “When the Israelite people bless each other they will use your names. They will say, ‘May God bless you today, just as he blessed Ephraim and Manasseh long ago.’” When Jacob said that, he was putting Ephraim before Manasseh.
1512	GEN 50:5	‘Before my father died he said to me, I am going to die soon. Take my body to Canaan and bury me in my father's cave that is there already. Keep my word and don't forget. So please let me go and take my father to the cave, and then I will come back again.’”
22602	JON 1:2	and said, “Go to Nineveh, that great city. Give the people there this message from me. Say to those people, ‘Yahweh is really angry with you all because he knows that you are very bad.’”
24977	LUK 1:15	Then he said, “Your son will be very important. The Lord God will say, ‘He is a great man.’ When he grows up he mustn't drink wine or strong drink that makes people drunk. The Holy Spirit will fill him and control him. It will control him when he is born and it will stay with him all the time.
24994	LUK 1:32	When he grows up he will be a great king. And people will say, ‘He is the Son of God, the one who is the greatest God.’ The Lord God will make him a king and he will rule just as his ancestor King David ruled long ago.
24997	LUK 1:35	Gabriel answered, “God's powerful Spirit will come and touch you and then you will be carrying a baby. Because of that, people will say, ‘This holy child is the Son of God.’
25010	LUK 1:48	Even though I am so unimportant, he has looked after me. I am only his servant. From today everyone will say, ‘The Lord God has blessed her.’
25064	LUK 2:22	Joseph and Mary and the baby Jesus stayed in Bethlehem for one month. Then Joseph and Mary went to Jerusalem, taking the baby with them. When they arrived, they went to the temple to give their baby to the Lord God, following the law that Moses had given to the people of Israel. First God told Moses and then Moses told the people God's laws. The Lord God said, “All your firstborn baby boys belong to me.” He also said, “When a woman gives birth to a child she must take two doves, or if she hasn't any doves, then she must take two pigeons, and go to the temple and give them to the priest. She must say to him, ‘These two birds are for God.’ Then the priest will kill them.” So Mary did that in the temple so she would be cleared from the law.
25098	LUK 3:4	Long ago there was a man called Isaiah who was a prophet. He said, “Someone is calling out in the desert, and these are his words: ‘Get the road ready for the Lord. Make a straight path for him to walk on.
25102	LUK 3:8	“If you really want God to save you, then you should get yourselves straight today. Do good, just like a good tree that has good fruit, so that people will know you have stopped doing wrong. And don't think, ‘We are all right because Abraham is our ancestor,’ but listen to what I am telling you today. If God wants to, he can change these stones lying here on the ground. From these very stones he can make children for Abraham.
25136	LUK 4:4	Jesus answered, “In God's book these words are written, ‘Just food won't keep people alive.’”
25140	LUK 4:8	Jesus answered, “Long ago Moses told God's people, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and work for him and no one else.’”
25142	LUK 4:10	In God's book it is written, ‘God will tell his angels and they will look after you.
25155	LUK 4:23	Jesus said, “I know what you will say to me. You will use these old words, ‘You know how to heal people, so heal yourself.’ And you will also tell me to do the same things here in my own town as I did in Capernaum, because you have heard what I have been doing there.
25190	LUK 5:14	Jesus said to him, “Don't tell anyone that you are better, but go straight to the priest. He will look at you and say, ‘You are well now.’ Then later you must give him two birds to kill for you, as Moses said long ago. Then everyone will know that you are healed.”
25199	LUK 5:23	Maybe you can say to this man, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ Of course you can't say that! Or maybe you can say to him, ‘Get up and move your feet.’ No! You can't say either of those things to this man by yourself.
25208	LUK 5:32	I have come here to teach bad people so that they won't do wrong things but they will obey God. If people say, ‘I am all right and I never do anything wrong,’ then I can't teach them, I can only teach bad people.”
25215	LUK 5:39	Jesus also told them this about the wine. “People always leave that wine I have been talking about until it is old. They don't like drinking it when it is new. So when people have been drinking old wine, they don't want any new wine. They say, ‘The old is better.’” When Jesus spoke about the material and the wine, he was thinking about people. When people follow him, they mustn't go with two minds.
25217	LUK 6:2	Some Pharisees saw them picking seeds and eating them. They asked, “What are you doing? Our law says, ‘You must not work on the Sabbath.’ But you are working here on the Sabbath. So you have disobeyed the law, haven't you? What you are doing is very wrong.”
25237	LUK 6:22	“Even if other people hate you, God will be good to you. They will hate you, and not want you, and speak bad words to you and say to you, ‘You are bad people.’ They will do that because you trust in me, the one who was born in this place. Even if they do all that, God will be good to you.
25247	LUK 6:32	“Do you love only the people who love you, but you don't love everyone? Then God won't say to you, ‘I am pleased with you,’ because bad people love each other too. They love the people who love them.
25248	LUK 6:33	“Do you only do good to people who do good to you, but you don't do good to everyone? Then God won't say to you, ‘I am pleased with you.’ No, because bad people do good to people who do good to them.
25249	LUK 6:34	“Maybe you lend your things to other people to look after for a little while. But you don't lend your things to everyone, you only lend them to people who will give you your things back later. Then God won't say to you, ‘I am pleased with you.’ No, because bad people lend to each other so that they will get the same things back later.
25257	LUK 6:42	You shouldn't say to your brother, ‘You poor thing, brother, let me take the bit of dirt out of your eye.’ Don't say that, because you can't see the great big stick in your own eye. You want other people to say you are good, but you are bad. First you must take the big stick out of your own eye, so you can see properly to take the little bit of dirt out of your brother's eye.”
25270	LUK 7:6	Then the elders and many other people set out and Jesus went with them. They went a long way. Then, when they were near the Roman officer's house, some of his friends came to them bringing a message for Jesus. “Stop, Master,” they said. “You needn't come now. The officer told us to come to you. He said, ‘Go and tell Jesus not to come to my house because he is an important man and I am very unimportant.
25272	LUK 7:8	and he told us this too. ‘I am an officer,’ he said, ‘but I also obey my boss. And the soldiers I am in charge of obey me too. If I say to one of my men, Go over there, he goes quickly. And if I say to one of them, Come here to me, he comes quickly. And if I say to my servant, Do this! then he does as I say.’”
25283	LUK 7:19	and said to them, “Go to the Lord Jesus and take this message from me. Ask him who he is and say, ‘John has told us about an important person who is to come here. Are you the one or must we wait until some other person comes? Who are you?’”
25291	LUK 7:27	Let me tell you these words that are written in God's book, and listen carefully. They tell us about John. God said long ago, ‘I will send my messenger so that he can make the way ready for you. He will go ahead and you will come later.’ And John is that very person. He is the one who came first.
25292	LUK 7:28	“Truly,” Jesus said, “John is very important. From long ago until today no one else has been so important. But even the least important of you people, if you know about God becoming ruler, you are more important than John. If you know about God ruling, God will say about you, ‘This man is important, even more important than John.’”
25296	LUK 7:32	You are like children who sit where many people are going here and there passing each other. Some children call out to others and say, ‘We have sung lovely songs for you to make you happy, but you didn't dance. Then we sang funeral songs and pretended to cry, but you wouldn't cry with us.’ So you people of today are like children, because first of all you didn't want John and now you reject me too.
25297	LUK 7:33	“That is true,” Jesus said. “A little while ago John the Baptist came here and you saw him all the time. Sometimes he didn't eat. He went without food and worshipped God, and he didn't drink wine. But you saw him and said, ‘This man has an evil spirit.’
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.
25332	LUK 8:18	So you should listen very carefully to me today and you should always obey me. “Any of you who listen carefully to me and never disobey me will keep my words in your mind all the time. And I will help you so that you can know more. If any of you think, ‘I know all those words,’ but you don't listen to them properly and don't obey them, then I won't help you. And then you will forget them all. So that is why you must listen very carefully to me today.”
25389	LUK 9:19	They said, “Some people say, ‘He is John the Baptist’. Others say, ‘He is Elijah’. But others say, ‘A prophet of long ago has come alive again.’”
25390	LUK 9:20	“But what about you?” Jesus said to them. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Lord, the one God spoke about long ago. God said, ‘I am going to send someone to save my people.’ So you must be that person, the Messiah.”
25418	LUK 9:48	and he said to his disciples, “If any of you obey me and love this child, you will love me too. And if any of you love me you will also love God, the one who sent me here to you. If you are not proud and you work for others, God will say, ‘You are important.’”
25430	LUK 9:60	Jesus said to him, “Let those who aren't God's people bury their dead, because they themselves are like dead people. As for you, go and tell everyone, ‘God is ready to rule all people.’”
25437	LUK 10:5	“When two of you arrive in a town and go inside a house, first of all say these words to the people who live there. Say, ‘Peace be with you.’
25441	LUK 10:9	and heal their diseases and say to them, ‘Today you will know that God will soon become ruler.’”
25443	LUK 10:11	Say to them, ‘We will wipe off the dust of your town that sticks to our feet, so that you will know that we are blaming you, because you have rejected God's word today. But you people in this place listen to this. Today you will know that God will soon become ruler!’
25459	LUK 10:27	The man answered Jesus with Moses' words and said, “Moses said, ‘You should really love the Lord your God. When you get up and when you lie down, you should think about him all the time.’ And also he said, ‘You should love your neighbour just as you love yourself.’”
25492	LUK 11:18	And when a group of evil spirits begin to fight each other, what happens? They are no longer one group; they are divided. “You people have said about me, ‘Satan is making him strong so he can drive out evil spirits.’ But that is not right.
25498	LUK 11:24	Then Jesus said, “When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through dry places looking for a place to rest. If it can't find a good place, it says to itself, ‘I will go back now to where I was before.’
25519	LUK 11:45	Then a teacher of Moses' law spoke to Jesus and said, “Teacher, so you are saying to us, ‘You are bad people too.’”
25523	LUK 11:49	That is why God, who knows everything, said, ‘I will send prophets and messengers to my people. But they will kill some of them and make trouble for others.’
25529	LUK 12:1	At that time a great number of people gathered around Jesus. There were so many that they were crowding close and treading on each other. And Jesus spoke to his disciples and said, “The Pharisees want other people to say, ‘Those Pharisees are good people.’ But they are wicked and they hide their thoughts from other people. So don't you be like those men,
25536	LUK 12:8	Then Jesus said, “If one of you says to other people, ‘I belong to Jesus Christ,’ then I, who was born in this place, will say, ‘This man belongs to me.’ I will speak so that God's angels can hear in heaven.
25537	LUK 12:9	“But if one of you says to others, ‘I don't know Jesus Christ,’ when you deny me like that I will say, ‘I don't know that man, he doesn't belong to me.’ I will say it so that God's angels can hear in heaven.
25539	LUK 12:11	Then Jesus said, “If bad people get hold of you and take you to the synagogue, to the rulers of the synagogue, and to other rulers too, don't worry about what to say. And don't say to yourself, ‘Oh dear, what shall I say? What can I answer the rulers so that they won't beat me and put me in prison?’ Don't think like that and worry about what to say,
25547	LUK 12:19	Then I will say to myself, ‘I have plenty of good things here now, so I will stop work. I will never have to work again. I will eat plenty of food and I will always have lots to drink. I will be very happy!’” That's what he said to himself,
25573	LUK 12:45	Then Jesus said, “But maybe that same servant will say to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time to come back.’ Then he will beat the men and women when he gives them their work. He won't work well any longer and he will do careless, bad work. He will eat a lot of food while his master isn't there and he will drink strong drink and get drunk.
25582	LUK 12:54	Then Jesus said to the people, “When you see a cloud getting dark and coming from the west, when it starts to get bigger you talk about it. Straight away you say, ‘Rain is coming.’ And soon it does rain.
25583	LUK 12:55	And also, when you hear the south wind blowing hard, you say, ‘It will be hot now.’ And it does get hot.
25602	LUK 13:15	The Lord Jesus said to him, “You bad leaders, you want people to say, ‘These leaders are good,’ but you are tricking yourselves. Any one of you will untie your bullock or your donkey on the Sabbath day and take it to water.
