Take Up the Cross and Follow Him
23 Then He said to them all, βIf anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? 26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Fatherβs, and of the holy angels.

The Cost of Discipleship
57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, βLord, I will follow You wherever You go.β58 And Jesus said to him, βFoxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.β59 Then He said to another, βFollow Me.βBut he said, βLord, let me first go and bury my father.β60 Jesus said to him, βLet the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.β61 And another also said, βLord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.β62 But Jesus said to him, βNo one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.β

27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish itβ 29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, βThis man began to build and was not able to finishβ? 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

1 βTo the angel of the church of Ephesus write,βThese things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: 2 βI know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My nameβs sake and have not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its placeβunless you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.7 βHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.β β

41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; 44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a dayβs journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, βSon, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.β49 And He said to them, βWhy did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Fatherβs business?β 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them. 51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Seven Chosen to Serve
1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists,[a] because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, βIt is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.β5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.7 Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

Stephenβs Address: The Call of Abraham
1 Then the high priest said, βAre these things so?β2 And he said, βBrethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, 3 and said to him, βGet out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.β 4 Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell. 5 And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him. 6 But God spoke in this way: that his descendants would dwell in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage and oppress them four hundred years. 7 βAnd the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will judge,β said God, βand after that they shall come out and serve Me in this place.β 8 Then He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs.
The Patriarchs in Egypt
9 βAnd the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him 10 and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11 Now a famine and great [a]trouble came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no sustenance. 12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 13 And the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Josephβs family became known to the Pharaoh. 14 Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and all his relatives to him, [b]seventy-five people. 15 So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers. 16 And they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
God Delivers Israel by Moses
17 βBut when the time of the promise drew near which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt 18 till another king arose who did not know Joseph. 19 This man dealt treacherously with our people, and oppressed our forefathers, making them expose their babies, so that they might not live. 20 At this time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his fatherβs house for three months. 21 But when he was set out, Pharaohβs daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son. 22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.23 βNow when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. 24 And seeing one of themsuffer wrong, he defended and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian. 25 For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand. 26 And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried toreconcile them, saying, βMen, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?β 27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, βWho made you a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?β 29 Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he had two sons.30 βAnd when forty years had passed, an Angel [c]of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai. 31 When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he drew near to observe, the voice of the Lord came to him, 32 saying, βI am the God of your fathersβthe God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.β And Moses trembled and dared not look. 33 βThen the Lord said to him, βTake your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. 34 I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.β β35 βThis Moses whom they rejected, saying, βWho made you a ruler and a judge?β is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Israel Rebels Against God
37 βThis is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, βThe Lordyour God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren.Him[d] you shall hear.β38 βThis is he who was in the [e]congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles[f] to give to us, 39 whom our fathers would not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt, 40 saying to Aaron, βMake us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.β 41 And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42 Then God turned and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:βDid you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrificesduring forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.β
Godβs True Tabernacle
44 βOur fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen, 45 which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David, 46 who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. 47 But Solomon built Him a house.48 βHowever, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:49 βHeaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest?
50 Has My hand not made all these things?β
Israel Resists the Holy Spirit
51 βYou stiff-necked[g] and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. 52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 53 who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.β

2 Then the whole congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.

1 Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lordburned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp. 2 Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the Lord, the fire was [a]quenched. 3 So he called the name of the place [b]Taberah, because the fire of the Lord had burned among them.4 Now the mixed multitude who were among them [c]yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: βWho will give us meat to eat? 5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!β

1 βAnd Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.β 2 Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred, to come and do the work. 3 And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. 4 Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing, 5 and they spoke to Moses, saying, βThe people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded usto do.β6 So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, βLet neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.β And the people were restrained from bringing, 7 for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be doneβindeed too much. 8 Then all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen, and of blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim they made them.

7 Then the king said to the man of God, βCome home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.β8 But the man of God said to the king, βIf you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place. 9 For so it was commanded me by the word of the Lord, saying, βYou shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came.β β 10 So he went another way and did not return by the way he came to Bethel. 11 Now an old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. 12 And their father said to them, βWhich way did he go?β For his sons had seen which way the man of God went who came from Judah. 13 Then he said to his sons, βSaddle the donkey for me.β So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it, 14 and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. Then he said to him, βAre you the man of God who came from Judah?βAnd he said, βI am.β15 Then he said to him, βCome home with me and eat bread.β16 And he said, βI cannot return with you nor go in with you; neither can I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place. 17 For [c]I have been told by the word of the Lord, βYou shall not eat bread nor drink water there, nor return by going the way you came.β β18 He said to him, βI too am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, βBring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.β β (He was lying to him.) 19 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.20 Now it happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lordcame to the prophet who had brought him back; 21 and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, βThus says the Lord: βBecause you have disobeyed the word of the Lord, and have not kept the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you, 22 but you came back, ate bread, and drank water in the place of which the Lord said to you, βEat no bread and drink no water,β your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.β β23 So it was, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, the prophet whom he had brought back. 24 When he was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the corpse.

21 From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. 22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, βFar be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!β 23 But He turned and said to Peter, βGet behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.β

10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paulβs belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, βThus says the Holy Spirit, βSo shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.β β12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, βWhat do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.β14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, βThe will of the Lord be done.β
