"Whoever breaks one of the smallest commandments..." Matt. 5:19-20 in the T21 Version

"Whoever breaks one of the smallest commandments, and teaches men to do so, he will be called the smallest in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does and teaches them, they will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, That unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven."

"And he looked around at them angrily, grieved at the blindness of their hearts." Mark 3:5 (T21 vers.)

"And he looked around at them angrily, grieved at the blindness of their hearts. And he said to the man: Hold out your hand. And he did. And his hand was restored just as healthy as the other one."

"I leave with you peace, I give you my peace." (John 14:27-29) AeP Tyndale21 Version

"I leave with you peace, I give you my peace. Not like the world gives, but as I give to you. Do not let your hearts grieve, nor be afraid. You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would truly rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father. Because he Father is greater than I. And now I have showed you before it comes, so that when it happens, you might believe."

John 14:27-29 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

"Faith without deeds is dead" (James 2:14-26) in the T21 Version

"What does it profit, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, and he has no deeds? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you says to them, Leave in peace, May God send you warmth and food, but you do not give them those things that are needed by the body, what help is that? Even so, faith, if it has no deeds, is dead, in itself.

Yes, and a man may say, You have faith, and I have deeds, show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. Do you believe that there is one God? You do well. The demons also believe, and tremble. Will you understand, Oh, you vain man, that faith without deeds is dead? Was not our father Abraham justified through works, when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see how faith worked with his deeds, and through the deeds, the faith was made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which said, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God.

You see then how that by deeds a man is justified, and not only by faith. In also the same way, was not Rahab the harlot justified through works when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead."

"Those who are healthy have no need of the doctor" Mark 2:15-17 (AeP T21 Vers.)

"And it happened, that, as Jesus sat at dinner in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat together with Jesus and his disciples, because many followed him. And when the Scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with tax collectors and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he said to them, Those who are healthy have no need of the doctor, only those who are sick. I came, not to call the righteous, but to call sinners to repentance."

Mark 2:15-17 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

"They abandoned everything, and followed him." Luke 5:1-11 (AeP T21 Version)

"And it happened that as the people pressed close to him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, And saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen were not in them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him if he would push the boat out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the boat. Now when he had stopped speaking, he said to Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch. And Simon answering said to him, Master, we have worked all night, and have taken in nothing. Still, on your word, I will let down the net. And when they had done this, they enclosed a great number of fish. And their net broke.

And they signaled to their partners, which were in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Lord, leave me, because I am a sinful man. He was utterly astonished, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish they had taken, And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners. And Jesus said to Simon, Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men. And when they had brought their boats to land, they abandoned everything, and followed him."

Luke 5:1-11 in the Abbott ePublishing T21 Version of the Gospels

"Whoever believes that Jesus is Christ is born from God" (1 John 4:20-5:4; AeP T21 Version)

"If a man says, I love God, and still hates his brother, he is a liar. Because how can he who does not loves his brother, whom he has seen, love God, whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from him, That he who loves God should love his brother, too. 

Whoever believes that Jesus is Christ is born from God. And everyone who loves him who gave birth to him, love who was born from him, too. In this we know that we love the children of God: When we love God and keep his commandments. 

This is the love of God: That we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous. For whatever is born from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith."

"If I do not do the works of my Father..." John 10:37-38 (AeP Tyndale21 Version)

- John 10:37-38 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version

"Only a little while the light is with you" (John 12:35-36, T21 Version)

Then Jesus said to them, Only a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, in case darkness comes over you. He who walks in darkness knows not where he goes. While you have light, believe in the light, so you may be the children of light. These things Jesus said, and left, and hid himself from them.

John 12:35-36 (AeP T21 Version of the Gospels)

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me..." Luke 4:18-30 (AeP T21 Version)

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all those who were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say to them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

And all witnessed this, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? And he said to them, You may very truly tell me this proverb, Doctor, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard that was done in Capernaum, do also here in your country.

 And he said, Truly I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; But to none of them was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath, a city of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman of Syria. And as many as were in the synagogue, when they heard him, were furious, And they stood up, and threw him out of the city, and led him to the top of the hill on which their city had been built, so they could push him over it. But he walked right through the middle of them and went away."

"What sign do you show to us" John 2:18-22 in the AeP T21 Gospels

"Then the Jews said to him, What sign do you show to us, seeing that you do these things?  Jesus answered to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.  Then the Jews said, Forty-six years this temple was being built, and you will raise it up in three days? But he spoke of the temple of his body. As soon, therefore, as he was risen from death, his disciples remembered that he had said this. And they believed the scripture, and the words that Jesus had said."

Matt. 13:54-57 (AeP T21) "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country."

"And when he had come to his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, From where did this man this wisdom and his mighty works come? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And are not his sisters all here with us? From where then did this man get all these things? And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house." 

Matthew 13:54-57 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

"And the second is like, namely this, You will love your neighbor as yourself." Mark 12:28-34 in the AeP T21 Version

"And one of the Scribes came who had heard them disputing together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, Oh, Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your understanding, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You will love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

And the Scribe said to him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he, And to love him with all the heart,and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that dared ask him any questions."

Mark 12:28-34 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

Scripture: John 1:19-24 in the AeP T21 Version "I am the voice of a crier in the desert"

"And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? And he confessed, and did not deny, but said plainly, I am not Christ. And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you a prophet? And he answered, No. Then they said to him, Who are you, so we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself? He said, I am the voice of a crier in the desert, Make straight the road of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said. And those who were sent were from the Pharisees."

John 15:4-8 (AeP T21 version) "Live in me, and let me live in you"

"Live in me, and let me live in you. As the branch cannot produce fruit by itself, unless it lives in the vine, no more can you, unless you live in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who lives in me, and I in him, will produce much fruit. Because without me, you can do nothing. If a man does not live in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and withers, and men gather it, and throw it into the fire, and it burns. If you live in me, and my words live in you, you will ask what you wish, and it will be done to you. In this, my Father is glorified - that you produce much fruit and be my disciples."
- John 15:4-8 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

John 14:15-21 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version "If you love me, keep my commandments."

"If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforter, so he may remain with you forever, Who is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because the world does not see him nor knows him. But you know him, because he lives with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you comfortless, but will come to you. In a little while, the world will see me no more, but you see me. Because I live, you will live, too. On that day, you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. He who has my commandments, and keeps them, that is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will show myself to him."
- John 14:15-21 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

John 15:9-17 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version: "As the Father has loved me, I have loved you. Continue in my love."

"As the Father has loved me, I have loved you. Continue in my love. If you will keep my commandments, you will live in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and live in his love. These things I have spoken to you, so my joy might remain in you, and so your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. No man has greater love than this: that a man give his life for his friends.

You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. From now on I will not call you servants, because the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from my Father I have opened to you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, so you would go and produce fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so whatever you ask from the Father in my name, he would give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another."

And, Look: I am with you always, even to the end of the world."
