MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS



LUKE 1: 26-28, 30-31,  & 38

26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 
28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.

38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.


LUKE 2: 16-19


16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 
17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 
18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 
19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.


MATTHEW 2: 11


And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

MARK 6: 3

Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.


MARK 15: 40

There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary

the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,

JOHN 2: 1-2

1 On the third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus ( MARY) was there. 

2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

JOHN 19: 17-18 & 25-27


17 And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 
18 where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother ( MARY), and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 
26 When Jesus, therefore, saw His mother(MARY), and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother(MARY), “Woman, behold your Son!”
27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.


ACTS 1: 9 & 12-14

9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him 
out of their sight.

12 Then they (DISCIPLES)returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. 
13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying...
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

REVELATION 12: 5

 She (MARY) bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.

BIBLE PEOPLE NAMED SAUL:



SAUL OF TARSUS



ACTS 7: 54-58



54 When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him ( STEPHEN) with their teeth. 
55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 
56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 
58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.



ACTS 8: 3

As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.

ACTS 9: 4-8, 11, 17-18, & 26-27

4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”

Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”

Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.

17 And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 

18 Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.

26 And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple. 

27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

ACTS 13: 9

Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

36 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.

1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.

2 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.

17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.

1 SAMUEL 11: 15

And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

1 SAMUEL 13: 16

And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

1 SAMUEL 16: 19 & 23

19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.

23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

1 SAMUEL 18: 29

And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.

1 SAMUEL 23: 9

And David knew that Saul secretly practiced mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.

1 SAMUEL 31: 4-6

4 Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and 

abuse me.”

Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

 5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him. 

6 So Saul, his three sons, his armorbearer, and all his men died together that same day.

JOHN 14: 22-24

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 

24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

JUDAS OF GALILEE

ACTS 5: 37-39

37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed. 

38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; 

39 but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”

JUDAS, STRAIGHT STREET

ACTS 9: 10-12

10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.”

And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. 

12 And in a vision, he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

JUDAS,  BARSABAS

ACTS 15: 22, 27, & 32

22 Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.

27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth.

32 Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words.

JUDAS ISCARIOT

MATTHEW 26: 14-16

14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 

15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 

16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

LUKE 22: 3 & 48

3 Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.

48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

JOHN 12: 4-6

4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, 

5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 

6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

MATTHEW 27: 3-6

3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 

4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.”

And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”

5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.
