Did

Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,

Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.

At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.

Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.

Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”

Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

“Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”

So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.

But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.

When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not recognize that it was Jesus.

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.

Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.

Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”

There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.

Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.

Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us!” said Peter.

And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”

But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:

Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised to give possession of the land to Abraham and his descendants, even though he did not yet have a child.

He assumed his brothers would understand that God was using him to deliver them, but they did not.

‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

But God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did.

Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you are His betrayers and murderers—

The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.

For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.

We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,

This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.

“Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”

Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.

But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.

And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.

…and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul,

Meanwhile 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.

I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,

For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.

Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.

So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.

But when his accusers rose to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.

And that is what I did in Jerusalem. With authority from the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were condemned to death, I cast my vote against them.

When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.

Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?

He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.

Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!

What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”

What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—

What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;

Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”

And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”

And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”

I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:

What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,

I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.

For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.

For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”

I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?

Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.

We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.

And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?

In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.

If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
