\nIn those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 \u201cRepent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.\u201d 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, \u201cThe voice of one crying in the wilderness: \u201d\u02dcPrepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.\u201d\u2122\u201d4 Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him, 6 and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.<\/p>\n
\nLet all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.\u201d37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, \u201cBrothers, what shall we do?\u201d 38 And Peter said to them, \u201cRepent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.\u201d 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, \u201cSave yourselves from this crooked generation.\u201d 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.<\/p>\n
\nAnd Jesus came and said to them, \u201cAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n7 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, \u201cGo over and join this chariot.\u201d 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, \u201cDo you understand what you are reading?\u201d 31 And he said, \u201cHow can I, unless someone guides me?\u201d And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: \u201cLike a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
\nso he opens not his mouth.33 In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.\u201d 34 And the eunuch said to Philip, \u201cAbout whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?\u201d 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, \u201cSee, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?\u201d 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.<\/p>\n
\nNow as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, \u201cTake, eat; this is my body.\u201d 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, \u201cDrink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSo Jesus again said to them, \u201cTruly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.<\/p>\n
\nFor I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, \u201cThis is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.\u201d 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, \u201cThis cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.\u201d 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.<\/p>\n
\nWhoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. 31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
