Matthew 9

A Dying Girl and a Sick Woman

18 While Jesus was still speaking, an official came and knelt in front of him. The man said, “My daughter has just now died! Please come and place your hand on her. Then she will live again.”19 Jesus and his disciples got up and went with the man.20 A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and barely touched his clothes. 21 She had said to herself, “If I can just touch his clothes, I will get well.”22 Jesus turned. He saw the woman and said, “Don’t worry! You are now well because of your faith.” At that moment she was healed.23 When Jesus went into the home of the official and saw the musicians and the crowd of mourners, 24 he said, “Get out of here! The little girl isn’t dead. She is just asleep.” Everyone started laughing at Jesus. 25 But after the crowd had been sent out of the house, Jesus went to the girl’s bedside. He took her by the hand and helped her up.26 News about this spread all over that part of the country.

Matius 9

Anak kepala rumah ibadat Perempuan yang sakit pendarahan

9:18 Sementara Yesus berbicara demikian kepada mereka, datanglah seorang kepala rumah ibadat, lalu menyembah Dia dan berkata: “Anakku perempuan baru saja meninggal, tetapi datanglah dan letakkanlah tangan-Mu atasnya, maka ia akan hidup.” 9:19 Lalu Yesuspun bangunlah dan mengikuti orang itu bersama-sama dengan murid-murid-Nya. 9:20 Pada waktu itu seorang perempuan yang sudah dua belas tahun lamanya menderita pendarahan maju mendekati Yesus dari belakang dan menjamah jumbai jubah-Nya. 9:21 Karena katanya dalam hatinya: “Asal kujamah saja jubah-Nya, aku akan sembuh.” 9:22 Tetapi Yesus berpaling dan memandang dia serta berkata: “Teguhkanlah hatimu, hai anak-Ku, imanmu telah menyelamatkan engkau.” Maka sejak saat itu sembuhlah perempuan itu. 9:23 Ketika Yesus tiba di rumah kepala rumah ibadat itu dan melihat peniup-peniup seruling dan orang banyak ribut, 9:24 berkatalah Ia: “Pergilah, karena anak ini tidak mati, tetapi tidur.” Tetapi mereka menertawakan Dia. 9:25 Setelah orang banyak itu diusir, Yesus masuk dan memegang tangan anak itu, lalu bangkitlah anak itu. 9:26 Maka tersiarlah kabar tentang hal itu ke seluruh daerah itu.

Psalms 91,1-16

91  The Lord Is My Fortress

1 Live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful.2 Then you will say to the Lord,“You are my fortress,my place of safety;you are my God, and I trust you.”
3 The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases.4 He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure.His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall.
5 You won’t need to worry about dangers at night or arrows during the day.6 And you won’t fear diseases that strike in the dark or sudden disaster at noon.
7 You will not be harmed,though thousands fall all around you.8 And with your own eyes you will see the punishment of the wicked.9 The Lord Most High is your fortress.Run to him for safety,10 and no terrible disasters will strike you or your home.
11 God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.12 They will carry you in their arms,and you won’t hurt your feet on the stones.13 You will over power the strongest lions and the most deadly snakes.
14 The Lord says,“If you love meand truly know who I am,I will rescue you and keep you safe.15 When you are in trouble,call out to me.I will answer and be there to protect and honor you.16 You will live a long life and see my saving power.”

Exodus 23,19-33

A Promise and a Warning

The Lord said:20 I am sending an angel to protect you and to lead you into the land I have ready for you. 21 Carefully obey everything the angel says, because I am giving him complete authority, and he won’t tolerate rebellion. 22 If you faithfully obey him, I will be a fierce enemy of your enemies. 23 My angel will lead you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out. 24 Don’t worship their gods or follow their customs. Instead, destroy their idols and shatter their stone images.25 Worship only me, the Lord your God! I will bless you with plenty of food and water and keep you strong. 26 Your women will give birth to healthy children, and everyone will live a long life.27 I will terrify those nations and make your enemies so confused that they will run from you. 28 I will make the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites panic as you approach. 29 But I won’t do all this in the first year, because the land would become poor, and wild animals would be everywhere. 30 Instead, I will force out your enemies little by little and give your nation time to grow strong enough to take over the land.31 I will see that your borders reach from the Red Sea to the Euphrates River and from the Mediterranean Sea to the desert. I will let you defeat the people who live there, and you will force them out of the land. 32 But you must not make any agreements with them or with their gods. 33 Don’t let them stay in your land. They will trap you into sinning against me and worshiping their gods.

Jesus Is the Way to the Father

14 1 Jesus said to his disciples, “Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me. 2 There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I wouldn’t tell you this, unless it was true. I am going there to prepare a place for each of you. 3 After I have done this, I will come back and take you with me. Then we will be together. 4 You know the way to where I am going.”5 Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t even know where you are going! How can we know the way?”6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life!” Jesus answered. “Without me, no one can go to the Father.7 If you had known me, you would have known the Father. But from now on, you do know him, and you have seen him.”8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need.”9 Jesus replied:Philip, I have been with you for a long time. Don’t you know who I am? If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. How can you ask me to show you the Father? 10 Don’t you believe that I am one with the Father and that the Father is one with me? What I say isn’t said on my own. The Father who lives in me does these things.11 Have faith in me when I say that the Father is one with me and that I am one with the Father. Or else have faith in me simply because of the things I do. 12 I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do the same things that I am doing. You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father. 13 Ask me, and I will do whatever you ask. This way the Son will bring honor to the Father. 14 I will do whatever you ask me to do.

1 Yohanes 4

Roh Allah dan roh antikristus

4:1 Saudara-saudaraku yang kekasih, janganlah percaya akan setiap roh, tetapi ujilah roh-roh itu, apakah mereka berasal dari Allah; sebab banyak nabi-nabi palsu yang telah muncul dan pergi ke seluruh dunia. 4:2 Demikianlah kita mengenal Roh Allah: setiap roh yang mengaku, bahwa Yesus Kristus telah datang sebagai manusia, berasal dari Allah, 4:3 dan setiap roh, yang tidak mengaku Yesus, tidak berasal dari Allah. Roh itu adalah roh antikristus dan tentang dia telah kamu dengar, bahwa ia akan datang dan sekarang ini ia sudah ada di dalam dunia. 4:4 Kamu berasal dari Allah, anak-anakku, dan kamu telah mengalahkan nabi-nabi palsu itu; sebab Roh yang ada di dalam kamu, lebih besar dari pada roh yang ada di dalam dunia. 4:5 Mereka berasal dari dunia; sebab itu mereka berbicara tentang hal-hal duniawi dan dunia mendengarkan mereka. 4:6 Kami berasal dari Allah: barangsiapa mengenal Allah, ia mendengarkan kami; barangsiapa tidak berasal dari Allah, ia tidak mendengarkan kami. Itulah tandanya Roh kebenaran dan roh yang menyesatkan.
