7"Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours."

7If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

11and, 'ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'"

33In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

33And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

34"Let us alone! What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-- the Holy One of God!"

34Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

35But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, he came out of him without doing him any harm.

39And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them.

39And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

40While the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and laying His hands on each one of them, He was healing them.
