SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
from King James (Authorized) Version

Matthew 4:24

       24   And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

Matthew 8:1-4

       1.   When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
      2   And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
      3   And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
      4   And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Matthew 8:5-13

       5.   And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
      6   And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
      7   And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
      8   The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
      9   For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
      10   When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
      11   And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
      12   But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
      13   And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Matthew 8:10

       10   When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Mark 6:6

       6   And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

Luke 7:1-10

       1.   Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
      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 unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
      4   And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
      5   For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
      6   Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now 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   Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a 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 marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
      10   And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

Luke 7:2

       2   And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

Luke 7:3

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

Luke 7:6

       6   Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now 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:

Luke 13:24-30

       24   Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
      25   When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
      26   Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
      27   But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
      28   There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
      29   And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
      30   And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

John 4:47-53

       47   When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
      48   Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
      49   The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
      50   Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
      51   And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
      52   Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
      53   So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

John 6:1-71

       1.   After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
      2   And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
      3   And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
      4   And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
      5   When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
      6   And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
      7   Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
      8   One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
      9   There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
      10   And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
      11   And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
      12   When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
      13   Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
      14   Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
      15.   When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
      16   And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
      17   And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
      18   And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
      19   So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
      20   But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
      21   Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
      22.   The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
      23   (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
      24   When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
      25   And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
      26   Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
      27   Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
      28.   Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
      29   Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
      30   They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
      31   Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
      32   Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
      33   For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
      34   Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
      35   And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
      36   But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
      37   All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
      38   For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
      39   And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
      40   And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
      41   The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
      42   And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
      43   Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
      44   No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
      45   It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
      46   Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
      47   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
      48   I am that bread of life.
      49   Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
      50   This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
      51   I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
      52   The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
      53   Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
      54   Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
      55   For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
      56   He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
      57   As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
      58   This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
      59   These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
      60.   Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
      61   When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
      62   What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63* It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
      64   But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
      65   And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
      66   From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
      67   Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
      68   Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
      69   And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
      70   Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
      71   He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

John 11:21

       21   Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Hebrews 11:1-10

       1.   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
      2   For by it the elders obtained a good report.
      3   Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
      4.   By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
      5   By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
      6   But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      7   By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
      8   By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
      9   By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
      10   For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
