A Prophecy of Esau and Jacob

The US Ambassador to Canada says “the Five Eyes intelligence alliance of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand supported Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claim that Nijjar was targeted by Indian agents.”

Matthew 8:1 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.

Mark 1

⁴⁰ And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him and kneeling down to Him and saying unto Him, “If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.”

⁴¹ And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth His hand and touched him, and said unto him, “I will; be thou clean.”

⁴² And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

⁴³ And He strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away,

⁴⁴ saying unto him, “See that thou say nothing to any man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony unto them.”

⁴⁵ But he went out and began to proclaim it much and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, and was outside in desert places. And they came to Him from every quarter.

Mark 2

¹ And again He entered into Capernaum some days later, and it was reported that He was in the house.

² And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not even about the door; and He preached the Word unto them.

³ And they came unto Him, bringing one sick with the palsy, who was borne by four.

⁴ And when they could not come nigh unto Him because of the throng, they uncovered the roof where He was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the one sick with the palsy lay.

⁵ When Jesus saw their faith, He said unto the one sick with the palsy, “Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.”

⁶ But there were certain of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

⁷ “Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?”

⁸ And immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, He said unto them, “Why reason ye these things in your hearts:

⁹ whether it is easier to say to the sick with the palsy, ‘Thy sins are forgiven thee,’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up thy bed and walk’?

¹⁰ But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins—” He said to the one sick with the palsy,

¹¹ “I say unto thee, arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.”

¹² And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all, insomuch that they all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw it in this fashion!”

Luke 5:26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

¹³ And He went forth again by the seaside; and all the multitude resorted unto Him, and He taught them.

¹⁴ And as He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the custom booth, and said unto him, “Follow Me.” And he arose and followed Him.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat at Levi’s house, that many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.

¹⁶ And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with publicans and sinners, they said unto His disciples, “How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?”

¹⁷ When Jesus heard it, He said unto them, “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

¹⁸ And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast; and they came and said unto Him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?”

¹⁹ And Jesus said unto them, “Can the attendants of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

²⁰ But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

²¹ “No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment, else the new piece that filled it up teareth away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

²² And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins, else the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is spilled and the skins will be marred. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”

Matthew 12:1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the corn; and His disciples were hungry and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

² But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto Him, “Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day.”

³ But He said unto them, “Have ye not read what David did when he hungered and they that were with him:

⁴ how he entered into the house of God and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

⁵ Or have ye not read in the law how on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?

⁶ But I say unto you, that in this place is One greater than the temple.

⁷ But if ye had known what this meaneth, ‘I will have mercy and not sacrifice,’ ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

⁸ For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.”

⁹ And when He had departed thence, He went into their synagogue.

¹⁰ And behold, there was a man who had his hand withered. And they asked Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days?” — that they might accuse Him.

¹¹ And He said unto them, “What man shall there be among you that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will not lay hold on it and lift it out?

¹² How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days.”

¹³ Then He said to the man, “Stretch forth thine hand.” And he stretched it forth, and it was restored whole like the other.

¹⁴ Then the Pharisees went out and held a council against Him, how they might destroy Him.

¹⁵ But when Jesus knew of it, He withdrew Himself from thence. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.

¹⁶ And He charged them that they should not make Him known,

¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁸ “Behold My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased: I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He shall show judgment to the Gentiles.

¹⁹ He shall not strive nor cry, neither shall any man hear His voice in the streets.

²⁰ A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench till He send forth judgment unto victory;

²¹ and in His name shall the Gentiles trust.”

²² Then was brought unto Him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb; and He healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.

²³ And all the people were amazed and said, “Is not this the Son of David?”

Mark 3

¹³ And He went up onto a mountain, and called unto Him whom He would have, and they came unto Him.

¹⁴ And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach,

¹⁵ and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out devils:

¹⁶ Simon (He surnamed Peter);

¹⁷ and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (and He surnamed them Boanerges, which means The Sons of Thunder);

¹⁸ and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thadaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house;

Luke 6:17 And He came down with them and stood on the plain with the company of His disciples and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases,

¹⁸ and those who were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were healed.

¹⁹ And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for there went virtue out of Him and healed them all.

Luke 7:2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and ready to die.

³ And when he heard of Jesus, he sent the elders of the Jews unto Him, beseeching Him that He would come and heal his servant.

⁴ And when they came to Jesus they besought Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was worthy,

⁵ “for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.”

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying unto Him, “Lord, trouble not Thyself, for I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof.

⁷ Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto Thee. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁸ For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers. And I say unto one, ‘Go’, and he goeth; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he cometh; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he doeth it.”

⁹ When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned about and said unto the people who followed Him, “I say unto you, I have not found so great a faith, no, not in Israel.”

¹⁰ And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.

Mark 3

²⁰ and the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

²¹ And when His friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said, “He is beside himself.”

Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This fellow doth not cast out devils, except by Beelzebub, the prince of devils.”

²⁵ And Jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.

²⁶ And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?

²⁷ And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

²⁸ But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God is come unto you.

²⁹ Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house and despoil his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will despoil his house.

³⁰ “He that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad.

³¹ Therefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

³² And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

³³ Either make the tree good and his fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt and his fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by his fruit.

³⁴ “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things; and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

³⁶ But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment.

³⁷ For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”

³⁸ Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, “Master, we would see a sign from thee.”

³⁹ But He answered and said unto them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

⁴¹ The men of Nineveh shall rise in the Judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

⁴² The queen of the south shall rise up in the Judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

⁴³ “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

⁴⁴ Then he saith, ‘I will return into my house from whence I came out.’ And when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

⁴⁵ Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.”

⁴⁶ While He yet talked to the people, behold, His mother and His brethren stood outside, desiring to speak with Him.

⁴⁷ Then one said unto Him, “Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to speak with thee.”

⁴⁸ But He answered and said unto him that told Him, “Who is My mother? And who are My brethren?”

⁴⁹ And He stretched forth His hand toward His disciples and said, “Behold, My mother and My brethren!

⁵⁰ For whosoever shall do the will of My Father who is in Heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.”

Luke 7:11 And it came to pass the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and many people.

¹² Now when He came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And many people of the city were with her.

¹³ And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said unto her, “Weep not.”

¹⁴ And He came and touched the bier, and those who bore him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say unto thee, arise.”

¹⁵ And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother.

¹⁶ And there came a fear on all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet is risen up among us”; and, “God hath visited His people.”

¹⁷ And this report of Him went forth throughout all Judea and throughout all the region round about.

¹⁸ And the disciples of John told him of all these things.

¹⁹ And John, calling unto him two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus asking, “Art thou He that should come, or look we for another?”

²⁰ When the men had come unto Him, they said, “John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, asking, ‘Art thou He that should come, or look we for another?’”

²¹ And in that same hour He cured many of their infirmities and plagues and of evil spirits, and unto many who were blind He gave sight.

²² Then Jesus answering said unto them, “Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard: how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the Gospel is preached.

²³ And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in Me.”

²⁴ And when the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak unto the people concerning John: “What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

²⁵ But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously appareled and live luxuriously are in kings’ courts.

²⁶ But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁷ This is he, of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee.’

²⁸ For I say unto you, among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he that is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

²⁹ And all the people that heard Him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.

³¹ And the Lord said, “Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?

³² They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another and saying, ‘We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.’

³³ For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, ‘He hath a devil.’

³⁴ The Son of Man is come eating and drinking, and ye say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!’

³⁵ But wisdom is justified by all her children.”

Matthew 11:20 Then He began to upbraid the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not.

²¹ “Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

²² But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Day of Judgment than for you.

²³ And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell; for if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

²⁴ But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment than for thee.”

²⁵ At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

²⁶ Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight.

²⁷ “All things are delivered unto Me by My Father, and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.

²⁸ “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

²⁹ Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

³⁰ For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Luke 7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired Him that He would eat with him. And He went into the Pharisee’s house and sat down to meat.

³⁷ And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

³⁸ and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and began to wash His feet with tears and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed His feet and anointed them with the ointment.

³⁹ Now when the Pharisee who had bidden Him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is who toucheth him, for she is a sinner.”

⁴⁰ And Jesus answering said unto him, “Simon, I have something to say unto thee.” And he said, “Master, say on.”

⁴¹ “There was a certain creditor that had two debtors. The one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

⁴² And when they had nothing to pay, he freely forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?”

⁴³ Simon answered and said, “I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And He said unto him, “Thou hast rightly judged.”

⁴⁴ And He turned to the woman and said unto Simon, “Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house: Thou gavest Me no water for My feet, but she hath washed My feet with tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

⁴⁵ Thou gavest Me no kiss, but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss My feet.

⁴⁶ My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but this woman hath anointed My feet with ointment.

⁴⁷ Therefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.”

⁴⁸ And He said unto her, “Thy sins are forgiven.”

⁴⁹ And those who sat at meat with Him began to say within themselves, “Who is this that forgiveth sins also?”

⁵⁰ And He said to the woman, “Thy faith hath saved thee. Go in peace.”
