God

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”

“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

…then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?

When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”

“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

…and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.

Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.

When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.

If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.

They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”

“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”

After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

…both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

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.

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.

But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep Him in its grip.

But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.

God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

…praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.

When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.

Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.

For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.

And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

…then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.

When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

After they had prayed, their meeting place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

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 Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.

God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”

But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”

So the Twelve summoned all the disciples and said, “It is unacceptable for us to neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.

So the word of God continued to spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem grew rapidly, and a great number of priests became obedient to the faith.

Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”

And Stephen declared: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living.

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.

God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.

‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’

Then God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.

Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him

As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.

At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of God. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house.

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.

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

This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’

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 have taken along the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’

Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as God had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.

And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations God drove out before them. It remained until the time of David,

…who found favor in the sight of God and asked to provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.

…who found favor in the sight of God and asked to provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.

But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.

But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!

You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”

He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.

One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
