Witnesses Unto Me

Acts 1:4–11 KJV 1900

4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Who Is the Greatest?

Luk 22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

Luk 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

Luk 22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

Mark 8:31–33 KJV 1900

31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

Proverbs 31

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have no need of spoil.

12 She will do him good and not evil All the days of her life.

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants’ ships; She bringeth her food from afar.

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth meat to her household, And a portion to her maidens.

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, And strengtheneth her arms.

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: Her candle goeth not out by night.

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, And her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: For all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; Her clothing is silk and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; And delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her clothing; And she shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou excellest them all.

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Rev 21:9  And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Rev 22:17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
