Hebrews 11:24-26,32-12:2

Hebrews 11:24-26 (King James Version)




24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;



25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;



26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

32And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:



33Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.



34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.



35Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:



36And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:



37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;



38(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.



39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:



40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.



Hebrews 12

1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,



2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.










John 1:43-51

John 1:43-51 (King James Version)




43The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.



44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.



45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.



46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.



47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!



48Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.



49Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.



50Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.



51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
