John 1:19-27

Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

What then?

Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not.

Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

Who art thou?

What sayest thou of thyself?

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

Why baptizest thou then?

John answered them, saying, I baptize with water:but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

18

Isaiah 40:18-21

To whom then will ye liken God?or what likeness will ye compare unto him? The workman melteth a graven image,and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold,and casteth silver chains. He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot;he seeketh unto him a cunning workmanto prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. Have ye not known? have ye not heard?hath it not been told you from the beginning?have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth.

Acts 7:9-13And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt:but God was with him, And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction:and our fathers found no sustenance. But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

Gen 45:7,8And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God.John 3:16,17For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

26

John 3:16For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

3:34or he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

6:29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

8:42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

10:36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

27

Gen 42:8And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

John 2:24,25But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man:for he knew what was in man.

John 1:10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

28

Gen 45:25-28And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not. And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them:and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

John 6:40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 2:13-18 John 2:20-23

v13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting ... Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

v23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did

v17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

v22 But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

v18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

v20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

v19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

39

John 3:2-10 John 3:11-17

v2 Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God …

v17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

v3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

v16 … that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

v5 … Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

v15 … That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

v6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

v12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

v8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof … so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

v11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

v9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

We must be born again!• Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say

unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

• Ga 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you

• Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

• Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

• 1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

We must be born again!• 2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a

new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

• Gal 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

v38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

v13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

John 5:6-9 John 5:10-14

v6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

v14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

v7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool:but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

v13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

v8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.:

v12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

v9a And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked

v11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

v9b and on the same day was the sabbath.

v10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

68

John 5:15-16 John 5:17-18

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him,

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him,

because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
