8832 | Do you know Greek? |
8832 | Do you understand what you are reading? |
8832 | Israelites,he said,"why do you wonder at this man? |
8832 | What are you intending to do? |
8832 | 001:006 Once when they were with Him, they asked Him,"Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?" |
8832 | 002:007 They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed,"Are not all these speakers Galilaeans? |
8832 | 002:008 How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them? |
8832 | 002:012 They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another,"What can this mean?" |
8832 | 002:037 Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles,"Brethren, what are we to do?" |
8832 | 004:007 So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them,"By what power or in what name have you done this?" |
8832 | 004:016"What are we to do with these men?" |
8832 | 005:004 While it remained unsold, was not the land your own? |
8832 | 005:009"How was it,"replied Peter,"that you two agreed to try an experiment upon the Spirit of the Lord? |
8832 | 005:028"We strictly forbad you to teach in that name-- did we not?" |
8832 | 007:001 Then the High Priest asked him,"Are these statements true?" |
8832 | 007:027"But the man who was doing the wrong resented his interference, and asked,"` Who appointed you magistrate and judge over us? |
8832 | 007:028 Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'' |
8832 | 007:035"The Moses whom they rejected, asking him,` Who appointed you magistrate and judge?'' |
8832 | 007:052 Which of the Prophets did not your forefathers persecute? |
8832 | 008:031"Why, how can I,"replied the eunuch,"unless some one explains it to me?" |
8832 | 008:034"Pray, of whom is the Prophet speaking?" |
8832 | 009:005"Who art thou, Lord?" |
8832 | 010:004 Looking steadily at him, and being much alarmed, he said,"What do you want, Sir?" |
8832 | 013:025 But John, towards the end of his career, repeatedly asked the people,"` What do you suppose me to be? |
8832 | 017:019 Then they took him and brought him up to the Areopagus, asking him,"May we be told what this new teaching of yours is? |
8832 | 019:002"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you first believed?" |
8832 | 019:003"Into what then were you baptized?" |
8832 | 019:015"Jesus I know,"the evil spirit answered,"and Paul I have heard of, but who are you?" |
8832 | 021:013 His reply was,"What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? |
8832 | 021:022 What then ought you to do? |
8832 | 021:037 When he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the Tribune,"May I speak to you?" |
8832 | 021:038"Are you not the Egyptian who some years ago excited the riot of the 4,000 cut- throats, and led them out into the Desert?" |
8832 | 022:007 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me,"` Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?'' |
8832 | 022:008"` Who art thou, Lord?'' |
8832 | 022:010 And I asked,"` What am I to do, Lord?'' |
8832 | 022:016 And now why delay? |
8832 | 022:027 So the Tribune came to Paul and asked him,"Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" |
8832 | 023:004"Do you rail at God''s High Priest?" |
8832 | 023:019 Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him,"What have you to tell me?" |
8832 | 026:008 Why is it deemed with all of you a thing past belief if God raises the dead to life? |
8832 | 026:014 We all fell to the ground; and I heard a voice which said to me in Hebrew,"` Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? |
8832 | 026:015"` Who art Thou, Lord?'' |
8832 | 026:027 King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? |
8832 | And when sold, was it not at your own disposal? |
8832 | Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?" |
8832 | How is it that you have cherished this design in your heart? |
8832 | Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him to walk? |
8832 | Some of them asked,"What has this beggarly babbler to say?" |
8832 | What is the reason of your coming?" |
8832 | What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or what resting place shall I have? |
8832 | Who will make known His posterity? |
8832 | Why are you wronging one another?'' |
8832 | inquired the eunuch;"of himself or of some one else?" |
8271 | { Isaiah 53:7,8} 008:034 The eunuch answered Philip,Who is the prophet talking about? |
8271 | ''{ Exodus 3:5,7- 8,10} 007:035"This Moses, whom they refused, saying,''Who made you a ruler and a judge?'' |
8271 | 001:006 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him,"Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?" |
8271 | 002:007 They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another,"Behold, are n''t all these who speak Galileans? |
8271 | 002:008 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language? |
8271 | 002:012 They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another,"What does this mean?" |
8271 | 002:037 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles,"Brothers, what shall we do?" |
8271 | 003:012 When Peter saw it, he responded to the people,"You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? |
8271 | 004:007 When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired,"By what power, or in what name, have you done this?" |
8271 | 005:003 But Peter said,"Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? |
8271 | 005:004 While you kept it, did n''t it remain your own? |
8271 | 005:009 But Peter asked her,"How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? |
8271 | 007:001 The high priest said,"Are these things so?" |
8271 | 007:027 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying,''Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? |
8271 | 007:028 Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday? |
8271 | 007:050 Did n''t my hand make all these things? |
8271 | 007:052 Which of the prophets did n''t your fathers persecute? |
8271 | 008:030 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said,"Do you understand what you are reading?" |
8271 | 008:031 He said,"How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" |
8271 | 009:004 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him,"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" |
8271 | 009:005 He said,"Who are you, Lord?" |
8271 | 009:021 All who heard him were amazed, and said,"Is n''t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? |
8271 | 010:004 He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said,"What is it, Lord?" |
8271 | 011:017 If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?" |
8271 | 017:019 They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying,"May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you? |
8271 | 019:002 He said to them,"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" |
8271 | 019:003 He said,"Into what then were you baptized?" |
8271 | 019:015 The evil spirit answered,"Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?" |
8271 | 021:013 Then Paul answered,"What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? |
8271 | 021:022 What then? |
8271 | 021:037 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer,"May I speak to you?" |
8271 | 022:007 I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me,''Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'' |
8271 | 022:008 I answered,''Who are you, Lord?'' |
8271 | 022:010 I said,''What shall I do, Lord?'' |
8271 | 022:016 Now why do you wait? |
8271 | 022:027 The commanding officer came and asked him,"Tell me, are you a Roman?" |
8271 | 023:004 Those who stood by said,"Do you malign God''s high priest?" |
8271 | 023:019 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately,"What is it that you have to tell me?" |
8271 | 026:008 Why is it judged incredible with you, if God does raise the dead? |
8271 | 026:014 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language,''Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? |
8271 | 026:015"I said,''Who are you, Lord?'' |
8271 | 026:027 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? |
8271 | 026:028 Agrippa said to Paul,"With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?" |
8271 | About himself, or about someone else?" |
8271 | After it was sold, was n''t it in your power? |
8271 | Do they now release us secretly? |
8271 | Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?" |
8271 | He said,"Do you know Greek? |
8271 | How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? |
8271 | I ask therefore, why did you send for me?" |
8271 | Some said,"What does this babbler want to say?" |
8271 | The high priest questioned them, 005:028 saying,"Did n''t we strictly charge you not to teach in this name? |
8271 | Then Peter answered, 010:047"Can any man forbid the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?" |
8271 | What is keeping me from being baptized?" |
8271 | What kind of house will you build me?'' |
8271 | Who will declare His generation? |
8271 | Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk? |
8271 | Why do you wrong one another?'' |
8271 | Why have you come?" |
8271 | says the Lord;''or what is the place of my rest? |
8271 | { TR, NU read"to all the people of Israel"instead of"to Israel"} 013:025 As John was fulfilling his course, he said,''What do you suppose that I am? |
8044 | 44:001:006 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? |
8044 | 44:002:007 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? |
8044 | 44:002:008 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? |
8044 | 44:002:012 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? |
8044 | 44:003:012 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? |
8044 | 44:004:007 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? |
8044 | 44:005:003 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? |
8044 | 44:005:004 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? |
8044 | 44:005:008 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? |
8044 | 44:005:009 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? |
8044 | 44:007:001 Then said the high priest, Are these things so? |
8044 | 44:007:027 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? |
8044 | 44:007:028 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? |
8044 | 44:007:035 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? |
8044 | 44:007:050 Hath not my hand made all these things? |
8044 | 44:007:052 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? |
8044 | 44:008:030 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? |
8044 | 44:008:031 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? |
8044 | 44:008:034 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? |
8044 | 44:008:036 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
8044 | 44:009:005 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? |
8044 | 44:009:006 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
8044 | 44:010:004 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? |
8044 | 44:010:029 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? |
8044 | 44:013:025 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? |
8044 | 44:015:010 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? |
8044 | 44:017:019 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? |
8044 | 44:019:003 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? |
8044 | 44:019:015 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? |
8044 | 44:021:013 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? |
8044 | 44:021:022 What is it therefore? |
8044 | 44:021:037 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? |
8044 | 44:022:007 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
8044 | 44:022:008 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? |
8044 | 44:022:010 And I said, What shall I do, LORD? |
8044 | 44:022:016 And now why tarriest thou? |
8044 | 44:022:027 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? |
8044 | 44:023:004 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God''s high priest? |
8044 | 44:023:019 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? |
8044 | 44:025:012 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? |
8044 | 44:026:008 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? |
8044 | 44:026:015 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? |
8044 | 44:026:027 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? |
8044 | And some said, What will this babbler say? |
8044 | Then answered Peter, 44:010:047 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
8044 | Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? |
8044 | and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? |
8044 | of himself, or of some other man? |
8044 | or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? |
8044 | saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? |
8044 | why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? |
8351 | 1:11. Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? |
8351 | 8:31. Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? |
8351 | 9:5. Who said: Who art thou, Lord? |
8351 | And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? |
8351 | And I said: What shall I do, Lord? |
8351 | And I said: Who art thou, Lord? |
8351 | And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? |
8351 | And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the spirit of the Lord? |
8351 | And after it was sold, was it not in thy power? |
8351 | And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May I speak something to thee? |
8351 | And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved? |
8351 | And falling on the ground, I heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
8351 | And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
8351 | And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? |
8351 | And he said: In what then were you baptized? |
8351 | And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? |
8351 | And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? |
8351 | And he, trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
8351 | And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born? |
8351 | And now do they thrust us out privately? |
8351 | And now why tarriest thou? |
8351 | And saying: Ye men, why do ye these things? |
8351 | And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power or by what name, have you done this? |
8351 | And some said: What is it that this word sower would say? |
8351 | And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of? |
8351 | And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? |
8351 | And the eunuch said: See, here is water: What doth hinder me from being baptized? |
8351 | And the tribune, taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me? |
8351 | And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God? |
8351 | And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these that speak Galilean? |
8351 | And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: What meaneth this? |
8351 | And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
8351 | Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers? |
8351 | Art thou a Roman? |
8351 | Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? |
8351 | But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things before me? |
8351 | But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost and by fraud keep part of the price of the land? |
8351 | But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? |
8351 | But who are you? |
8351 | For, sittest thou to judge me according to the law and, contrary to the law, commandest me to be struck? |
8351 | Hath not my hand made all these things? |
8351 | His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth? |
8351 | I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me? |
8351 | If then God gave them the same grace as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ: who was I, that could withstand God? |
8351 | Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? |
8351 | Of himself, or of some other man? |
8351 | Or what is the place of my resting? |
8351 | Or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk? |
8351 | Saying: What shall we do to these men? |
8351 | Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised and didst eat with them? |
8351 | Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? |
8351 | Then Paul answered and said: What do you mean, weeping and afflicting my heart? |
8351 | Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we? |
8351 | Then the high priest said: Are these things so? |
8351 | They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel? |
8351 | This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? |
8351 | What house will you build me( saith the Lord)? |
8351 | What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel? |
8351 | What is it therefore? |
8351 | What is the cause for which you are come? |
8351 | Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? |
8351 | Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? |
8351 | Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? |
8351 | Who said: Canst thou speak Greek? |
8351 | Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? |
8351 | Why hurt you one another? |
8351 | Why should it be thought a thing incredible that God should raise the dead? |
8351 | Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? |
8397 | ''Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? |

8397 | ''If-- if''; was it a time for''ifs''? |
8397 | ''Immediately,''says he,''I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,''and when he said''Lord, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?'' |

8397 | ''Seekest thou great things for thyself? |

8397 | ''Why persecutest thou?'' |
8397 | ''_ Me_ a Christian?'' |
8397 | (_ b_) If you doubt, have you ever taken the pains to examine? |
8397 | 32; v. 11) WHOM TO OBEY,--ANNAS OR ANGEL? |
8397 | A thinker? |
8397 | All that has to be admitted; and when it is all admitted, what then? |
8397 | Am I believing on Him? |
8397 | Am I consecrated to Him? |
8397 | Am I safe? |
8397 | Am I the possessor of a new life from Him? |
8397 | Am I to do any more work for Christ, or am I silenced for ever?'' |
8397 | Am I to stand on the same level as my office- boy?'' |
8397 | And I answered, Who art Thou, Lord? |
8397 | And I ask you what you expect to feel and say then? |
8397 | And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why perseoutest thou Me? |
8397 | And I pray you to ask yourselves,''Is my life of that sort?'' |
8397 | And I said, What shall I do, Lord? |
8397 | And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? |
8397 | And are you going to invoke such a lofty gift as this, to do nothing grander than that? |
8397 | And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? |
8397 | And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? |
8397 | And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
8397 | And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? |
8397 | And do these sweet communications take all the''torment''away from''fear,''and leave only the bliss of reverential love? |
8397 | And do we submit ourselves more loyally, more easily, more joyously to His will, in blessed obedience, now than ever before? |
8397 | And do you not think that your day''s work, and your business perplexities, come under the same category? |
8397 | And dost Thou succour me when Thou dost let these cruel hands cast me from the rock and bruise me with heavy stones? |
8397 | And have you gone alone to Him as a sinful man? |
8397 | And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? |
8397 | And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? |
8397 | And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? |
8397 | And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? |
8397 | And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? |
8397 | And how came he to be''full of the Holy Ghost''? |
8397 | And how do we cling to Him? |
8397 | And how does the Apostle describe in that letter his feelings before they came? |
8397 | And how was the message received? |
8397 | And how we hear every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? |
8397 | And if salvation be a state of deliverance from sickness, and a state of deliverance from peril, do we not need it? |
8397 | And if so, why is it not enough to guarantee this too? |
8397 | And is it not such knowledge of Christianity that blocks the way with some of you for anything more real and more operative? |
8397 | And is it not true that all such competitors of His, when they lead men to prefer them to Him, are''murderers,''in a sadder sense than Barabbas was? |
8397 | And is it so sweet in your hearts that you can not but let its sweetness have expression by your lips? |
8397 | And is not love the most powerful of all forces to influence conduct? |
8397 | And is not that record enough? |
8397 | And may we not say that the yearning of the servant is caught from the example of the Master? |
8397 | And now why tarriest thou? |
8397 | And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? |
8397 | And so is all life worship, and all worship hope? |
8397 | And so the Apostles said:''What is the use of your squabbling thus? |
8397 | And so, brethren, has He saved you? |
8397 | And so, dear brethren, I come to you with my last question, this man rejoiced, believing in the Lord; why should not you; and why should not you now? |
8397 | And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? |
8397 | And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans? |
8397 | And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? |
8397 | And was he any better for it? |
8397 | And what caused it? |
8397 | And what comes of it? |
8397 | And what did facts say? |
8397 | And what do we mean in this connection by faith? |
8397 | And what had he made of it? |
8397 | And what had the handful of Christian people? |
8397 | And what had the uncircumcised rabble of Antioch to do with''the promises made to the fathers''? |
8397 | And what has it done for you? |
8397 | And what is the instrument of edification in our ordinary religious parlance? |
8397 | And what is the meaning of_ holy_? |
8397 | And what nerved him thus to front death itself without a quiver? |
8397 | And what of the other meaning of the word? |
8397 | And what thus brought a cloud over his sky? |
8397 | And what was it all for? |
8397 | And what was it that made him master of circumstances, and enabled him to keep sunshine in his heart when winter bound all the world around him? |
8397 | And what was it? |
8397 | And what were the privileges which they thus jealously monopolised? |
8397 | And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? |
8397 | And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? |
8397 | And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? |
8397 | And why should they not be motives for us all? |
8397 | And yet, brethren, what is the use of toothless generalities? |
8397 | And''shall the axe boast itself,''either''against''or apart from''Him that heweth therewith''? |
8397 | Are former attainments continually being left behind? |
8397 | Are not your bodies subject to the same laws? |
8397 | Are the dying words of your Master,''This do in remembrance of Me,''written by you over everything you do? |
8397 | Are these His doings?'' |
8397 | Are these all the gifts that we are bound to carry to heathen lands? |
8397 | Are they Israelites? |
8397 | Are they the seed of Abraham? |
8397 | Are we as ready to recognise it as laying a very real responsibility upon us, and involving a very practical inference as to our own conduct? |
8397 | Are we bolder to- day than we were yesterday? |
8397 | Are we building there? |
8397 | Are we not all members of the Church of England by virtue of our birth? |
8397 | Are we ready to meet with more undaunted confidence whatever we may have to face? |
8397 | Are we to be chopping logic, and arguing with every ignorant upstart who chooses to vent his heresies? |
8397 | Are we to let the resemblance discredit the Christian message? |
8397 | Are we to listen to the rude solution which says,''All lies alike''? |
8397 | Are we, as a portion of His great heritage, being continually replenished by souls that come to tell what God has done for them? |
8397 | Are you and I building ourselves up in that? |
8397 | Are you safe? |
8397 | Are you? |
8397 | Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? |
8397 | As if he said,''Do you really think that I-- I-- am going to bow myself down to be a follower and adherent of that Christ of yours? |
8397 | Augustine said,''Where Christ is there is the Church,''and that is true, but vague; for the question still remains,''And where_ is_ Christ?'' |
8397 | Beaten from every refuge, and lying there, he cries:''What wouldst Thou have me to do, Lord?'' |
8397 | Brethren, is it so with you? |
8397 | But do we believe that He is verily putting forth His power, in no metaphor, but in simple reality, at present and here, and, if we will, through us? |
8397 | But he can not do it unless the man opens his heart, as that''why?'' |
8397 | But if it lashes out with its hoofs against the point, what does it get but bleeding flanks? |
8397 | But if the magistrates had said,''What customs?'' |
8397 | But were the tongue- like shapes of the flames significant too? |
8397 | But what does that matter, if our names, dear friends, are written in the Lamb''s Book of Life, with this for sole epitaph,''a disciple''? |
8397 | But what does the reason in verse 21 mean? |
8397 | But what is the meaning of claiming for Jesus that He is anointed? |
8397 | But what kind of faith? |
8397 | But when I come to''And thou?'' |
8397 | But, a listener might ask, what has this witness of yours to do with Joel''s prophecy, or with this speaking with tongues? |
8397 | But, making that acknowledgment, may we not make the use? |
8397 | By what right can_ they_ talk of running the Christian race? |
8397 | Can testimony not reach to this:''I know, because I saw, that a man was dead; I know, because I saw, a dead man live again''? |
8397 | Can these bones live?'' |
8397 | Can you see''the grace of God''in the people? |
8397 | Christian men and women, do you know anything of that o''er- mastering impulse? |
8397 | Consider then, first, his-- what shall I call it? |
8397 | Could there be such rottenness and corruption if the''salt''had not''lost his savour''? |
8397 | Dear friends, do you carry with you the impulse for utterance of Christ''s name wherever you go? |
8397 | Dear young friend, have you made it yours? |
8397 | Did Festus wince a little at the mention of these, which ought not to have been on his wrists? |
8397 | Did Paul remember Stephen, as the stones came whizzing on him? |
8397 | Did Paul remember how he had been''consenting''to the death of Stephen on the very same charges? |
8397 | Did ever a Cortez on the beach, with his ships in flames behind him, and a continent in arms before, cast himself on a more desperate venture? |
8397 | Did not the Church pray for him? |
8397 | Did such things happen? |
8397 | Did the great galleys carry surgeons as now? |
8397 | Did you ever count how many''_ straightways_''there are in the first chapter of Mark''s Gospel? |
8397 | Did you ever see a squad of raw recruits being drilled in the barrack- yard? |
8397 | Did you ever see what miserable daubs the scenes look, and how seamy it all is when the pitiless sunshine comes in? |
8397 | Did you ever try to paint for yourselves, for instance, the scene described in the First Epistle to the Corinthians? |
8397 | Do not all these emblems declare to us the possibility of a human spirit being charged to the limits of its capacity with a divine influence? |
8397 | Do not such words sound like mockery when applied to us? |
8397 | Do not you and the men in Patagonia breathe the same air? |
8397 | Do these facts import anything at all to us? |
8397 | Do they not slay the souls of their admirers? |
8397 | Do we feel ever increasing within us the full blessedness and inspiration of that divine visitant? |
8397 | Do we feel more thrillingly and gladly to- day than we did yesterday, that God is beside us? |
8397 | Do we make a business of the cultivation of Christian character thus? |
8397 | Do we rest the whole structure of our lives upon Jesus Christ? |
8397 | Do we rightly appreciate that? |
8397 | Do we speak to God merely by way of preface to one of us talking to his brethren? |
8397 | Do we? |
8397 | Do you begin your notions of Jesus Christ where His work begins? |
8397 | Do you believe us or do you not? |
8397 | Do you bring the sacred and the secular as close together as that? |
8397 | Do you remember another incident, singularly parallel in essence, though entirely unlike in circumstances, to this one? |
8397 | Do you remember one of the Apostle''s lovely and strong metaphors? |
8397 | Do you remember that old story of the way in which the prisoners in the time of the French Revolution used to behave? |
8397 | Do you think that theirs would be very elaborate prayers? |
8397 | Do you wonder that I would urge on you just such a life as that of this man as your highest good? |
8397 | Does it not seem the bitterest irony to talk about the usual life of a Christian as a course? |
8397 | Does it not? |
8397 | Does not Christ, in His long- suffering love, linger in like manner round each closed heart? |
8397 | Does not that mean complete investiture of our nakedness with that heavenly- woven robe? |
8397 | Does that not mean a complete immersion in, and submersion under, the cleansing flood? |
8397 | Dynamos and encyclopaedias, gin and rifles, shirtings and castings? |
8397 | Even Peter ventures only on''Lord, Thou knowest all things,''and on one flash of the old familiarity:''What shall this man do?'' |
8397 | For what has Paul cast away in becoming a Christian? |
8397 | For what hast Thou started to Thy feet, from the eternal repose of Thy session at the right hand of God the Father Almighty? |
8397 | For what purpose did God give us the blessing of knowing Christ ourselves? |
8397 | Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as He did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? |
8397 | Full of the Holy Ghost, was he? |
8397 | Full? |
8397 | God had received them; should not the Church do so? |
8397 | Had Annas forgot''His blood be on us, and on our children''? |
8397 | Had he voluntarily and bravely joined them? |
8397 | Had not God bid them speak, by their very knowledge of these? |
8397 | Had the''sure mercy''proved, then, a broken reed? |
8397 | Has not God set His seal on these communities to which we belong? |
8397 | Has our Christianity revolutionised our nature in any such fashion? |
8397 | Has that leaping fire died down into grey ashes? |
8397 | Has that''rushing mighty wind''blown itself out, and a dead calm followed? |
8397 | Has the oil dried in the cruse? |
8397 | Have I not a right to appeal to the half- sleeping and half- waking consciousness that endorses my words in some hearts as I speak? |
8397 | Have there been no Christian communities in later days animated by the same spirit? |
8397 | Have we got them? |
8397 | Have we got to that yet, or within sight of it, do you suppose? |
8397 | Have we not to carry Christ? |
8397 | Have we schooled ourselves to say honestly,''Therein I do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice''? |
8397 | Have we translated our thoughts of Him into actions, and have we put all our actions under the control of our thoughts of Him? |
8397 | Have you not to be contented to be fed in the same fashion, and to sleep and eat and drink in the same way? |
8397 | Have you thus consecrated yourself to God? |
8397 | Have you trod it, my friend-- that new and living way, which leads within the veil, into the secrets of loving communion with your Father in Heaven? |
8397 | Have you, my brother, that faith by which we receive into our spirits Christ''s own Spirit, to be our life? |
8397 | He had left Paphos with Barnabas and John Mark-- where were they? |
8397 | He has another question to put to us, with another''why,''''Why should ye be stricken any more? |
8397 | He knew the prisoners were all safe; why should he have come pale and trembling? |
8397 | He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? |
8397 | Here are doors open; how came that? |
8397 | Here are prisoners with the possibility of escape refusing it; how came that? |
8397 | Here is one of his victims tenderly careful of his life and peacefulness, and taking the upper hand of him; how came that? |
8397 | His first waking thought was,''What is God''s will for me to- day? |
8397 | How are you sure? |
8397 | How came His death to be the occasion of consolidating, not of shattering, their fellowship? |
8397 | How came Peter to be so sure that a man who had died was the''Prince of Life''? |
8397 | How came he to be so? |
8397 | How came he to be that? |
8397 | How came the lame man there? |
8397 | How can a truth do any good to any one who does not believe in it? |
8397 | How can you expect to see, unless you open your eyes? |
8397 | How can you face it without going mad, unless you know God and trust Him as your Father through Christ? |
8397 | How come there to be in Him, at one moment, calmness unmoved, and heroic self- oblivion, and at the next, agony, and all but despair? |
8397 | How could death have power over the Prince of Life? |
8397 | How could he believe upon Him if he knew so little about Him? |
8397 | How do you propose to have your blood purified, if you do not fill your lungs with air? |
8397 | How had they come in? |
8397 | How is it possible that, if you do not take a medicine, it will work? |
8397 | How long does an oak take before it gets too high for a sheep to crop at? |
8397 | How long will that day be of which a thousand years are but as the morning twilight? |
8397 | How many of us, knowing far more than he, have never asked the same wise question, or have never gone to Paul for an answer? |
8397 | How much of it would bear the scrutiny which will have to come, and which in Paul''s case was so quiet and calm? |
8397 | How shall a sinful soul come to a holy God? |
8397 | How? |
8397 | I do not ask you that;_ I_ do not ask you anything; but I pray you to ask yourselves these four questions: Am I Christ''s scholar? |
8397 | I speak to you members of this church, and I ask you to ponder the question,--Is it so? |
8397 | I wonder how many of you get the greater part of your living out of India and China? |
8397 | I wonder if there are any of you who are saying,''I can not give up that''? |
8397 | If anybody were so far left to himself as to go with this question to some of our modern wise men and teachers, they would say,''Saved? |
8397 | If it does not, are you quite sure that it_ is_ Christianity at all? |
8397 | If it does not, what does that mean? |
8397 | If they were his friends, why did they not do something to shield him? |
8397 | If you have not, will you do it when you go home; and notice how they come in? |
8397 | If you take heed to prolong the point into a line, and hour by hour to renew the surrender and the cry,''Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?'' |
8397 | If you want to find out the flaws in some thin, badly- woven piece of cloth, you hold it up against the light, do you not? |
8397 | If you were as near the edge as Stephen was, would it be wise for you to be interceding for other people''s forgiveness? |
8397 | In His humiliation His judgment was taken away; and who shall declare His generation? |
8397 | Indeed;--how came he to be so? |
8397 | Introductory to what? |
8397 | Is Pentecost a vanished glory, then? |
8397 | Is anybody safe standing in front of that awful law that rules the whole universe,''Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap''? |
8397 | Is it a cure, or is it not?'' |
8397 | Is it a sign of haste that the''garlands,''which should have been twined round the oxen''s horns, are mentioned separately? |
8397 | Is it not bracing to see any one actuated by such motives as these? |
8397 | Is it not but too ghastly a reality that all who thus choose them draw down ruin on themselves and''love death''? |
8397 | Is it not singular and beautiful that Peter''s word by the bedside of the dead Dorcas is, with the exception of one letter, absolutely identical? |
8397 | Is it of any use to have gas- fittings in your house, if they are not connected with the main? |
8397 | Is it our actual? |
8397 | Is not Death, too, God''s messenger to souls that love Him,''mighty and beauteous, though his face be hid''? |
8397 | Is not the faith of our mission converts often a rebuke to us? |
8397 | Is not the natural inference that the latter treatise will tell us what Jesus_ continued_''to do and teach''_ after_ He was taken up? |
8397 | Is not the sequence in Peter''s defence substantially that which all Christian preaching should exhibit? |
8397 | Is not this a Christian country? |
8397 | Is our religion flame or ice? |
8397 | Is that a transcript of my life and yours? |
8397 | Is that all that I have to say? |
8397 | Is that the breath that swells all the sails of your lives, and drives you upon your course? |
8397 | Is that the proper order? |
8397 | Is that what it will be to you? |
8397 | Is that what you and I do with our quiet times? |
8397 | Is that your idea of the best thing about a life? |
8397 | Is the Christianity of the average church member and professing Christian a continuous advance? |
8397 | Is the love of fame worthy of being called''the last infirmity of noble minds''? |
8397 | Is their behaviour not a mirror in which we may see our own? |
8397 | Is there an unbroken flow of such into what we call our communion? |
8397 | Is there any answer to that? |
8397 | Is there any contradiction between the two? |
8397 | Is there any reason why it was not done but the one reason that it could not be done? |
8397 | Is there anything outside a lunatic asylum more madlike than that? |
8397 | Is to- day better than yesterday? |
8397 | Is your daily life like that? |
8397 | Is your house like that? |
8397 | It is insolent to ask,''Understandest thou?'' |
8397 | It is very pleasant to small minds to say,''Did I not tell you so? |
8397 | It was Peter''s argument in the case of Cornelius: they''have received the Holy Ghost as well as we,''''who was I, that I could withstand God?'' |
8397 | It was like the wondering question so unanswerable in the Psalm,''Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?'' |
8397 | Jesus was the one; who was the other? |
8397 | King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? |
8397 | Let each of us ask,''Am I? |
8397 | May I say, without seeming egotism to you it is granted even through the dark and cloudy envelope of my poor words? |
8397 | Need I recall to you how noble a life issued from that fountain? |
8397 | Nothing? |
8397 | Notice, too, the pathetic''denied'': was Peter thinking of the shameful hour in his own experience? |
8397 | Now do you think that the jailer''s question was a piece of foolish superstition? |
8397 | Now if we put all this together, does not the shadowy figure begin to become more substantial? |
8397 | Now that the whole battery was unmasked the issue was clear-- Is Christianity to be a Jewish sect or the universal religion? |
8397 | Now these are the bones of his story; can we put flesh and blood upon them: and can we get any lessons out of them? |
8397 | Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? |
8397 | Now, I ask you, what of Paul''s Gospel is not here? |
8397 | Now, are you ready? |
8397 | One prayer was answered; was the other left unanswered? |
8397 | Or is it the delusion of ignoble ones? |
8397 | Or they would say,''Saved? |
8397 | Paul''s Christianity transformed him; does yours transform you? |
8397 | Paul''s question is,''Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?'' |
8397 | Perfected through sufferings? |
8397 | Peter said,''Why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?'' |
8397 | Philip might have sulked and said:''Why was I not chosen to do this work? |
8397 | Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? |
8397 | Shall we respond? |
8397 | Similarly another of the New Testament writers declares, in the broadest terms, that''this spake he of the Holy Spirit, which''--Apostles? |
8397 | So it is worth while to stop for a moment and ask what is the criterion of greatness in our deeds? |
8397 | So the question for us all is, What are we doing with what we know of Jesus Christ? |
8397 | So will not our way be made right? |
8397 | So, dear brethren, all these things being certainly so, what are we to say about the present state of Christendom? |
8397 | So, then, the savant had to ask,_ How_ can there be life? |
8397 | THE GREAT QUESTION AND THE PLAIN ANSWER''He brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? |
8397 | That being so, and Christianity having this feature in common with all the religions of men, how are we to account for the resemblance? |
8397 | That fear then was past; what was he afraid of now? |
8397 | That is beautiful, is it not? |
8397 | That is the crown of Peter''s vindication, and his question,''Who was I, that I could withstand God?'' |
8397 | That is the right answer, especially if you can say to the antagonistic party,''Have you been down to the door, then, to see?'' |
8397 | That one question,''_ Why_ persecutest thou Me?'' |
8397 | That was as much as to say,''What have I done to merit thy hate? |
8397 | The answer to that question is the answer to this other one,--have you sought your pardon already, and got it at the hands of Jesus Christ? |
8397 | The determining consideration should be, Which course will best glorify my Master? |
8397 | The one is,"What for?" |
8397 | The one question is, Will the four anchors hold? |
8397 | The question is all- important for each of us,''Have I this life, and does it move me, as the ships are borne along by the wind?'' |
8397 | The question,''What shall we do?'' |
8397 | Their first question was,''Where are we?'' |
8397 | Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? |
8397 | Then did His humanity need perfecting? |
8397 | Then how does it come that men go on, as so many of my friends here now have gone on, all their days paying no attention to that need? |
8397 | Then the chief captain came, and said, Tell me, art thou a Roman? |

8397 | These things being so, how could the Apostles be silent? |
8397 | They have the thing signified; what does it matter about the sign, which is good for us Jews, but needless for them? |
8397 | They would have said,''The God whose_ you_ are and whom_ you_ serve? |

8397 | and does it not preach to us some lessons that we may well take to heart? |
8397 | and if He withdraws a little way, does He not do so rather to stimulate search after Him, and tarry near enough to be found by every seeking heart? |
