<br />
<br />
NIV 1 Samuel 17:1-49-58 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled at Socoh in Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes   Dammim,    between Socoh and Azekah. :2 Saul and the Israelites assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. :3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.<br />
	:4 A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. He was over nine feet tall. :5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels, :6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back. :7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels (15 pounds). His shield bearer went ahead of him.<br />
	:8 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel,  “Why do you come out and line up for battle?  Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man and have him come down to me. :9 if he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.” :10 Then the Philistines said, “This day I defy the ranks of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.” :11 On hearing the Philistine’s words Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.<br />
	:12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite named Jesse, who was from Bethlehem in Judah. Jesse had eight sons, and in Saul’s time he was old and well advanced in years.  :13 Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war: The firstborn was Eliab; the second, Abinadab; and the third, Shammah.<br />
	:14 David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul, :15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his fathers sheep at Bethlehem.<br />
	:16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and every evening and took his stand.<br />
	:17 Now Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp. :18 Take along these ten cheeses to the commander to their unit. See how your brothers are and bring back some assurance from them. :19 they are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the valley of Elah, fighting against Philistines.”<br />
	:20 Early in the morning David left the flock with a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to it’s battle positions, shouting the war cry. :21 Israel and the Philistines were drawing up their lines facing each other. :22 David left his things with the keeper of supplies, ran to the battle lines and greeted his brothers. :23 As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistines champion from Gath, stepped out from his lines and shouted his usual defiance, and David heard it. :24 When the Israelites saw the man, they all ran from him in great fear. <br />
	:25 Now the Israelites had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out? He comes out to defy Israel. The king will give great wealth to the man who kills him. He will also give him his daughter in marriage and will exempt his fathers family from taxes in Israel.” <br />
	:26 David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?”<br />
	:27 They repeated to him what they had been saying and told him, “This is what will be done for the man who kills him.”<br />
	:28 When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, “ Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the desert? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; You came down only to watch the battle.”<br />
	:29 “Now what have I done?” said David. “Can’t I even speak?” :30 He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before. :31 What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.<br />
	:32 David said to Saul,”Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”<br />
	:33 Saul replied, “ You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a boy, and he has been fighting man from his youth.” <br />
	:34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock. :35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. :36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. :37 The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver  me from the hand of this Philistine.” <br />
	Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.” <br />
	:38 Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. :39 David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried waling around because he was not used to them. <br />
	“I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “Because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. :40 Then he took his staff  in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in a pouch of his shepherds bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine. <br />
	:41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. :42 He looked David over and saw that he was only a boy, ruddy and handsome, and he despised him. :43 He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” and the Philistine cursed David by his gods. :44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”<br />
	:45 David said to the Philistine, “ You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. :46 This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. :47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you into our hands.”<br />
	:48 As the Philistines moved to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. :49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.<br />
	:50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him<br />
	:51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the scabbard.  After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.<br />
	  When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead,  they turned and ran. :52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron. :53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines,  They plundered their camp. :54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.<br />
	:55 As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he asked Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that man?”<br />
	Abner replied, “ As surely as you live, O king, I don’t know.”<br />
	:56 The king said,  “Find out whose son this young man is.”<br />
	:57 As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with David still holding the Philistine’s head.<br />
	:58 “whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.<br />
	David said, “ I am the son son of Jesse of Bethlehem.”]]></description>

<br />
ZNIV John 11:1-38-44  Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany,  the village of Mary and her sister Martha.  2 This Mary,  whose brother Lazarus now lay sick,  was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.  3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus,  “Lord,  the one you love is sick.”<br />
      4 When he heard this,  Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death.  No,  it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”  5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.  6 Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.<br />
       7 Then he said to his disciples, “Lets us go back to Judea.”<br />
       8 But Rabbi,”  they said,  “a short while ago the Jews tried to stone you,  and yet you are going back there?”<br />
       9 Jesus answered,  “ Are there not twelve hours of daylight?  A man who walks by day will not stumble,  for he sees by this worlds light. 10 It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light.”<br />
	11 After he said this,  he went on to tell them,   “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep,  but I am going there to wake him up.”<br />
        12 His   disciples   replied, “Lord,  if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. 14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 And for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” <br />
	17 On his arrival, Jesus found Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 18 Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, 19 And many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. 20  When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. <br />
	21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”<br />
	23 Jesus said to her, “ Your brother will rise again.” <br />
	24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again at the resurrection at the last day.”<br />
	25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”<br />
	27 “Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”<br />
	28 And after she has said this she went back and called and her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here, “she said, “and is asking for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly  she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. <br />
	32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”<br />
	33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord, “they replied”.<br />
	35 Jesus wept. <br />
	36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”<br />
	37  But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”<br />
	38 Jesus, once more deeply  moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone.” he said. <br />
	“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “By this time there is a bad odor, for he had been there for days.” <br />
	40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”<br />
	41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” <br />
	43 When he had said this, Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.<br />
	Jesus said to them “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”]]></description>

                     ZNIV Luke 24:1-4-12<br />
<br />
	1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen!  Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again,’ “  8 Then they remembered his words.<br />
	9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary  Magdalene,  Joanna,  Mary mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like non-sense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb.  Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.<br />

NIV Luke 15:11-32 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. :12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.<br />
	:13 “not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. :14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. :15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. :16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.<br />
	:17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! :18 I will set out and go back to my father  and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. :19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.’ :20 So he got up and went to his father.<br />
	But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.<br />
	:21 The son said to him, father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.<br />
	:22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger (signet ring) and sandals on his feet. :23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s celebrate. :24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.<br />
	:25 Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. :26 So he called to one of the servants and asked him what was going on. :27 ‘your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’<br />
	:28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. :29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.  :30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home,  you kill the fattened calf for him!’<br />
	:31 ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. :32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.”]]></description>
