look upon:

that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save

thee alive.

GEN 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for

thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

GEN 26:7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my

sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the

place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.

for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not

what is become of him.

chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall

when none pursueth.

LEV 26:37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when

none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

NUM 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the

giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their

sight.

people wept that night.

Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in

the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for

us to return into Egypt?

into Egypt.

the congregation of the children of Israel.

commandment of the LORD your God:

hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of

the Amorites, to destroy us.

saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and

walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.

did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your

God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by

children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither

was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there

remained ten thousand.

were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets,

and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.

LORD.

depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city

with the edge of the sword.

heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually

every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy?

and where is the fury of the oppressor?

he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

MAT 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on

the sea.

MAT 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be

fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

MAT 26:70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

MAT 26:71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and

said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

MAT 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

MAT 26:73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to

Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

MAT 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And

immediately the cock crew.

MAT 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

MAR 14:66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids

of the high priest:

MAR 14:67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and

said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

MAR 14:68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou

sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

MAR 14:69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by,

This is one of them.

MAR 14:70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said

again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy

speech agreeth thereto.

MAR 14:71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of

whom ye speak.

that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

And when he thought thereon, he wept.

LUK 8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid

wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth

even the winds and water, and they obey him.

priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

LUK 22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were

set down together, Peter sat down among them.

LUK 22:56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly

looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

LUK 22:57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

LUK 22:58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of

them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

LUK 22:60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately,

while he yet spake, the cock crew.

see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were

afraid.

JOH 9:22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the

Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he

should be put out of the synagogue.

JOH 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but

because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out

of the synagogue:

JOH 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

JOH 18:16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other

disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the

door, and brought in Peter.

JOH 18:17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou

also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

JOH 18:25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto

him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

JOH 18:27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

JOH 19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried

out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever

maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

JOH 19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and

sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the

Hebrew, Gabbatha.

JOH 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour:

and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

JOH 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate

saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have

no king but Caesar.

took Jesus, and led him away.

prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself,

GAL 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,

because he was to be blamed.

GAL 2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles:

but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which

were of the circumcision.

GAL 2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that

Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

GAL 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth

of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest

after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the

Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
