The Resurrection
ZNIV Luke 24:1-4-12
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.
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.

ZNIV Mark 9:14-27-32 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. :15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
:16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
:17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of his speech. :18 Whenever it’s seizes him, it throw’s him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”
:19 “O unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
:20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
:21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. :22 “It has often thrown him into fire and water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
:23 “’If you can’?” said Jesus. “ Everything is possible for him who believes.”
:24 Immediately the boys father exclaimed, “I do believe; Help me overcome my unbelief!”
:25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you come out of him and never enter him again.”
:26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.”
:27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
:28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
:29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer. ( and or fasting)
:30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, :31 Because he was teaching his disciples. He said to the, “The son of man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him and after three days he will rise.” :32 But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.

:28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
:29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer. ( and or fasting)
:30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, :31 Because he was teaching his disciples. He said to the, “The son of man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.

ZNIV Mark 9:14-27-32 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. :15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
:16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
:17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of his speech. :18 Whenever it’s seizes him, it throw’s him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”
:19 “O unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
:20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
:21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. :22 “It has often thrown him into fire and water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
:23 “’If you can’?” said Jesus. “ Everything is possible for him who believes.”
:24 Immediately the boys father exclaimed, “I do believe; Help me overcome my unbelief!”
:25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you come out of him and never enter him again.”

They will kill him and after three days he will rise.” :32 But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.

Deliver Me
ZNIV Mark 9:14-27-32 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. :15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
:16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
:17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of his speech. :18 Whenever it’s seizes him, it throw’s him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”
:19 “O unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
:20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
:21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. :22 “It has often thrown him into fire and water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
:23 “’If you can’?” said Jesus. “ Everything is possible for him who believes.”
:24 Immediately the boys father exclaimed, “I do believe; Help me overcome my unbelief!”
:25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you come out of him and never enter him again.”
:26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.”
:27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
:28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
:29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer. ( and or fasting)
:30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, :31 Because he was teaching his disciples.

David And Goliath
ZNIV 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.
: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 brone 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.
: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.
: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.
: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.
:16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and every evening and took his stand.
: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.”
: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 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.
: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.”
: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?”
: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.”
: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.”
: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.
:32 David said to Saul,”Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
: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.”
: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.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”
: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.
“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.
: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!”
: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 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.”
:48 As the Philistines moved to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line tomeet 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.
: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
: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.
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.
:55 As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he asked Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that man?”
Abner replied, “ As surely as you live, O king, I don’t know.”
:56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
: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.
:58 “whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “ I am the son son of Jesse of Bethlehem.”
ZNIV 1 Samuel 17:1-49-58 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled at Socoh in Judah.

: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!”
: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 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.”
:48 As the Philistines moved to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line tomeet 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.
: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
: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.
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.
:55 As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he asked Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that man?”
Abner replied, “ As surely as you live, O king, I don’t know.”
:56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
: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.
:58 “whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “ I am the son son of Jesse of Bethlehem.”
ZNIV 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.
: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 brone 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.
: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.
: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.
: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.
:16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and every evening and took his stand.
: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.”
: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 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.
: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.”
: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?”
: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.”
: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.”
: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.
:32 David said to Saul,”Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
: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.”
: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.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”
: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.
“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.

: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.”
: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.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”
: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.
“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.
: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!”
: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 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.”
:48 As the Philistines moved to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line tomeet 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.
: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
: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.
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.
:55 As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he asked Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that man?”
Abner replied, “ As surely as you live, O king, I don’t know.”
:56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
: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.
:58 “whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “ I am the son son of Jesse of Bethlehem.”
ZNIV 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.
: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 brone 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.
: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.
: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.
: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.
:16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and every evening and took his stand.
: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.”
: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 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.
: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.”
: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?”
: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.”
: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.”
: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.
:32 David said to Saul,”Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”

: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.”
: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?”
: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.”
: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.”
: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.
:32 David said to Saul,”Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
: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.”
: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.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”
: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.
“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.
: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!”
: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 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.”
:48 As the Philistines moved to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line tomeet 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.
: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
: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.
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.
:55 As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he asked Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that man?”
Abner replied, “ As surely as you live, O king, I don’t know.”
:56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
: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.
:58 “whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “ I am the son son of Jesse of Bethlehem.”
ZNIV 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.
: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 brone 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.
: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.
: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.
: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.
:16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and every evening and took his stand.
: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.”

: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.
: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.
:16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and every evening and took his stand.
: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.”
: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 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.
: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.”
: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?”
: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.”
: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.”
: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.
:32 David said to Saul,”Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
: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.”
: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.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”
: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.
“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.
: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!”
: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 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.”
:48 As the Philistines moved to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line tomeet 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.
: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
: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.
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.
:55 As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he asked Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that man?”
Abner replied, “ As surely as you live, O king, I don’t know.”
:56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
: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.
:58 “whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “ I am the son son of Jesse of Bethlehem.”
ZNIV 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.
: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 brone 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.
: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!

Daniel And The Lions Den
ZNIV Daniel 6:1-21,22-28 It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, :2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss. :3 Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. :4 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent, :5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”
:6 So the administrators and the satraps went as a group to the king and said: “O King Darius, live forever! :7 The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or man during the next thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. :8 Now, O king, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered-in accordance with the laws of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” :9 So King Darius put the decree in writing.
:10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. :11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. :12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or man except to you, O king, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”
The King answered, “The decree stands-in accordance with the laws of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
:13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.”
:14 When the king heard ths, he was determined; to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him.
:15 Then the men went as a group and said to him, “Remember, O king, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.”
:16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
:17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might nt be changed. :18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.
:19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. :20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”
:21 Daniel answered. O king, live forever! :22 My God sent his angel, and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you. O king.”
:23 The king was overjoyed and gave the orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
:24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
:25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language throughout the land:
May you prosper greatly!
:26 “ I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.
“For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed,
His dominion will never end.
:27 He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel from the lions.”
:28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

:10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. :11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. :12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or man except to you, O king, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”
The King answered, “The decree stands-in accordance with the laws of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
:13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.”
:14 When the king heard ths, he was determined; to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him.
:15 Then the men went as a group and said to him, “Remember, O king, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.”
:16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
:17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might nt be changed. :18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.
:19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. :20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”
:21 Daniel answered. O king, live forever! :22 My God sent his angel, and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you. O king.”
:23 The king was overjoyed and gave the orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
:24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
:25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language throughout the land:
May you prosper greatly!
:26 “ I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.
“For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed,
His dominion will never end.
:27 He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel from the lions.”
:28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Daniel And The Lions Den
ZNIV Daniel 6:1-21,22-28 It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, :2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel.

Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”
:2 Then the Lord said to him’ “What is that in your hand?”
“A staff,” he replied.
:3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”
Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. :4 Then the Lord said to him, “reach out your had and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.

Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”
:2 Then the Lord said to him’ “What is that in your hand?”
“A staff,” he replied.
:3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”
Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. :4 Then the Lord said to him, “reach out your had and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.
:5 “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob- has appeared to you.”

Moses “Act of Obedience”
ZNIV Exodus 13, 14:1-21-29,15 1-18
:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, :22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.
Moses on several occasions was told to do something as an act of obedience for the Lord. In every one of these acts the Lord did a beautiful miracle and I pray the Lord the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob shows you his grace, mercy and power. By speaking to your hearts and in an act of obedience (like Moses). I pray you obey and see the miraculous and beautiful wonders of the Lord Jesus in your own life. May God bless you now and for eternity as only he can do. Moses staff to snake and lifting staff for the splitting of the Red Sea or (Sea of Reeds) seem to be only simple acts to man, but to God it is much deeper when you act on what he (the Holy Spirit) is relaying and could mean making it through deep waters and not getting wet (in your own life) or drowning.

:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, :22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.
DH. Moses on several occasions was told to do something as an act of obedience for the Lord. In every one of these acts the Lord did a beautiful miracle and I pray the Lord the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob shows you his grace and power. By speaking to your hearts and in and act of obedience (like Moses). I pray you see the miraculous and beautiful wonders of the Lord Jesus in your own life. May God bless you now and for eternity as only he can do. Moses staff to snake and lifting staff for the splitting of the Red Sea or (Sea of Reeds) seem to be only simple acts to man, but to God it is much deeper when you act on what he (the Holy Spirit) is relaying and could mean making it through deep waters and not getting wet (in your own life) or drowning. For the Holy Spirit is our helper sent from God above.

The Lost Son
ZNIV 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.
: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.
: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.
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.
: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.
: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.
: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.’
: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!’
: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.”

ZNIV Genesis 22:1-10,11-19 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
:2Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.”
:3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. :4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. :5 He said to his servants, “ stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will come back to you.”
:6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, :7 Isaac spoke up to his father Abraham, “Father?”
“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
:8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
:9When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on top of the wood. :10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. :11 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
:12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
:13 Abraham looked up and there in the thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead f his son. :14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
:15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time :16 and said, “I swear by myself , declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, :17 I will surely bless you and make your descendents as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendents will take possession of the cities of their enemies, :18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
:19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
“Here I am,” he replied.

When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. :4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. :5 He said to his servants, “ stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will come back to you.”
:6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, :7 Isaac spoke up to his father Abraham, “Father?”
“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
:8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
:9When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on top of the wood. :10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. :11 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
:12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
:13 Abraham looked up and there in the thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead f his son. :14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
:15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time :16 and said, “I swear by myself , declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, :17 I will surely bless you and make your descendents as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendents will take possession of the cities of their enemies, :18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
:19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.

7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
:2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and it’s mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and it’s mate, :3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. :4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.” :5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.
:6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. :7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. :8 Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, :9 male and female came to Noah and entered the ark as God had commanded Noah. :10 And after the seven days the floodwaters came to the earth.
:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month-on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens of the heavens were opened. :12 And rain fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
:13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. :14 They had with them every wild animal according to it’s kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to it’s kind and every bird according it’s kind, everything with wings. :15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. :16 The animals going in where male and female of every living thing, as god had commanded Noah. The Lord shut him in.
:17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. :18 The waters rose and increased greatly earth and the ark floated on the surface of the water. :19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. :20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. :21 Every living thing that moved on the earth perished-birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. :22 Everything on dry land that had breath of life in it’s nostrils died. :23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. :24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
