Luke 5:17-26
17 And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judæa and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. 
18 And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 
19 And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus. 
20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 
22 But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts? 
23 Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? 
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house. 
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God. 
26 And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.

Luke 8:40-56
40 And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him. 
41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him to come into his house; 
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him. 
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any, 
44 came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched. 
45 And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee. 
46 But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me. 
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 
49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher. 
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole. 
51 And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother. 
52 And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth. 
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 
54 But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise. 
55 And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that something be given her to eat. 
56 And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.

Gen 28:10-22
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. 
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep. 
12 And he dreamed; and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 
13 And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 
14 and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. 
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place; and I knew it not. 
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. 
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. 
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at the first. 
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Jehovah will be my God, 
22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

Ps 51:1-19
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin. 
3 For I know my transgressions;
And my sin is ever before me. 
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,
And done that which is evil in thy sight;
That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest,
And be clear when thou judgest. 
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity;
And in sin did my mother conceive me. 
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts;
And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom. 
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness,
That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 
9 Hide thy face from my sins,
And blot out all mine iniquities. 
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;
And renew a right spirit within me. 
11 Cast me not away from thy presence;
And take not thy holy Spirit from me. 
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
And uphold me with a willing spirit. 
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
And sinners shall be converted unto thee. 
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation;
And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 
15 O Lord, open thou my lips;
And my mouth shall show forth thy praise. 
16 For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it:
Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. 
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:
Build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 
19 Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering:
Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Ps 100:2-5
2 Serve Jehovah with gladness:
Come before his presence with singing. 
3 Know ye that Jehovah, he is God:
It is he that hath made us, and we are his;
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
And into his courts with praise:
Give thanks unto him, and bless his name. 
5 For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth for ever,
And his faithfulness unto all generations.

Acts 1:7-8
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within his own authority. 
8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
