God bless!

John 21

  14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead.
  15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that
I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
  16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto
him, Feed my sheep.
  17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And
he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee.
Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
  18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst
thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou
shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee
whither thou wouldest not.
  19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he
had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
  20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following;
which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that
betrayeth thee?
  21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
  22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to
thee? follow thou me.
  23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should
not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he
tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
  24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these
things: and we know that his testimony is true.
  25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they
should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not
contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Hebrews 4

  14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
  15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of
our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without
sin.
  16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 5

  1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things
pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
  2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the
way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
  3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to
offer for sins.
  4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God,
as was Aaron.
  5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that
said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
  6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec.

Mark 8

  34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he
said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me.
  35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose
his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
  36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose
his own soul?
  37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
  38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this
adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Mark 9

  1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them
that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the
kingdom of God come with power.
