John 11:48If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”John 11:49But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!John 11:50You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”John 11:51Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,John 11:52and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.John 11:53So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.John 11:54As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.John 12:36While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.Acts 12:17Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.Acts 14:6they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,Acts 16:3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.Acts 17:10As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.Acts 17:11Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.Acts 17:12As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.Acts 17:13But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.Acts 17:14The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.Acts 17:15Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.Acts 19:29Soon the whole city was in disarray. They rushed together into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia.Acts 19:30Paul wanted to go before the assembly, but the disciples would not allow him.Acts 19:31Even some of Paul’s friends who were officials of the province of Asia sent word to him, begging him not to venture into the theatre.Acts 19:32Meanwhile the assembly was in turmoil. Some were shouting one thing and some another, and most of them did not even know why they were there.Acts 19:33The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward to explain himself, and he motioned for silence so he could make his defense to the people.Acts 19:34But when they realized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”Acts 19:35Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t everyone know that the city of Ephesus is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?Acts 19:36Since these things are undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything rash.Acts 19:37For you have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed our temple nor blasphemed our goddess.Acts 19:38So if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open and proconsuls are available. Let them bring charges against one another there.Acts 19:39But if you are seeking anything beyond this, it must be settled in a legal assembly.Acts 19:40For we are in jeopardy of being charged with rioting for today’s events, and we have no justification to account for this commotion.”Acts 19:41After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.Acts 20:22And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.Acts 20:23I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.Acts 20:24But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.Acts 20:25Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.Acts 20:37They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.Acts 20:38They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.Acts 21:10After we had been there several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.Acts 21:11Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and hand him over to the Gentiles.’”Acts 21:12When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.Acts 21:13Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”Acts 21:14When he would not be dissuaded, we quieted down and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”Acts 21:20When they heard this, they glorified God. Then they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.Acts 21:21But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.Acts 21:22What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.Acts 21:23Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us who have taken a vow.Acts 21:24Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.Acts 21:25As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.”Acts 21:26So the next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he entered the temple to give notice of the date when their purification would be complete and the offering would be made for each of them.Acts 23:6Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”Romans 14:16Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.1 Corinthians 6:12“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.1 Corinthians 8:8But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.1 Corinthians 8:9Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.1 Corinthians 8:10For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?1 Corinthians 8:11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.1 Corinthians 8:12By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.1 Corinthians 8:13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.1 Corinthians 10:23“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.1 Corinthians 10:25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,1 Corinthians 10:26for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
