Berean Study Bible The Demand for a SignThough divided by significant theological and social differences, these two groups joined in opposing Jesus. The Pharisees emphasized strict observance of the Law and ancestral traditions, while the Sadducees were closely connected to the priesthood and temple leadership and rejected doctrines such as the resurrection. Their alliance revealed the growing concern that Jesus’ authority and popularity threatened their influence. Mat 3:7 But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees… and tested Jesus Their approach was hostile rather than sincere. They sought to place Him in a position where His words or actions could be used against Him, refusing to receive the clear testimony already given through His teaching and works. Mat 19:3 Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking… by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven. They demanded an unmistakable public display of divine approval, dismissing the miracles already before them. Their request was not driven by a lack of evidence but by unbelief, since they would not acknowledge that Jesus’ works, authority, and fulfillment of God’s promises identified Him as the Messiah. Mrk 8:11-12 Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus… But He replied, Jesus answered the Pharisees and Sadducees, who had joined together to demand a sign from heaven despite the many miracles already performed before them. Their request was not driven by faith but by unbelief and opposition to His authority. Mrk 8:12 Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said,… “When evening comes, He drew on an ordinary observation familiar to people whose lives depended heavily on the weather for travel, farming, and fishing. Mat 8:16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed… you say, The religious leaders and the people readily accepted such judgments from visible conditions in the sky. Luk 12:54 Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud… ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red,’ A red evening sky commonly indicated stable conditions and fair weather. Jesus used their practical discernment to expose their failure to recognize the far clearer evidence before them: the Messiah had come, and His works confirmed the arrival of God’s kingdom. Luk 12:55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’… and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ People commonly read the colors and conditions of the sky to anticipate weather. A red, threatening sky at dawn often signaled approaching rain or storms, knowledge especially important in an agricultural society dependent on suitable conditions for planting, harvesting, travel, and livestock. Luk 12:54 Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud… You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, Jesus recognized that the religious leaders could make practical judgments from visible natural signs. Their skill in observing the weather exposed the inconsistency of their failure to consider the clear evidence before them. Luk 12:56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance… but not the signs of the times. The miracles, teaching, and fulfillment of God’s promises in Jesus revealed that the Messiah had come. Though Israel’s leaders demanded further signs, they overlooked the works already given to confirm His identity and the nearness of God’s kingdom. Mat 24:3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, … A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, Jesus rebuked religious leaders and others who had witnessed His teaching and miracles yet continued to demand further proof. Their unbelief revealed hearts unfaithful to God and unwilling to recognize the Messiah standing before them. Mat 12:39 Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation… but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jonah’s three days in the great fish foreshadowed Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Christ’s resurrection would be the decisive public confirmation of His identity and authority, calling His generation to repentance. Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights…… Then He left them and went away. Jesus withdrew from those who had hardened themselves against the evidence already given, leaving their demand unanswered except for the promised sign of His resurrection. Mrk 8:13 And He left them, got back into the boat,…
The Leaven of the Pharisees and SadduceesJesus and His disciples traveled by boat across the Sea of Galilee after His encounter with the Pharisees and Sadducees. Their journey continued through regions where His ministry had reached both Jewish and Gentile crowds. Mat 14:22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat… the disciples forgot to take bread. They had failed to bring sufficient food for the journey, despite recently witnessing Jesus provide bread for thousands. Their concern over physical provision would soon reveal their failure to grasp His warning about the corrupting influence of Israel’s religious leaders. Mrk 8:14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread,… “Watch out!” Jesus told them. After the Pharisees and Sadducees demanded a sign from heaven, Jesus warned His disciples to remain alert. Their opposition was not merely political or personal; it threatened to distort the truth He had taught. Mrk 13:5 Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you… “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Leaven pictures an influence that spreads quietly but thoroughly. Jesus referred to the corrupting teaching and hypocrisy of both groups. The Pharisees elevated human traditions and outward religious performance, while the Sadducees rejected essential truths such as the resurrection. Though divided in other matters, both opposed Jesus and could lead others away from faith in God’s revealed truth. Mrk 8:15 “Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven…”… They discussed this among themselves The disciples spoke privately, trying to make sense of Jesus’ warning without asking Him what He meant. Their concern remained fixed on immediate circumstances rather than the spiritual danger He had identified. Mrk 8:16 So they began to discuss with one another the fact… and concluded, They assumed His words referred to their failure to bring enough food. Even after witnessing His provision for the crowds, they did not yet understand that He was warning them about the corrupting influence of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Mrk 8:17-21 Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them,… “It is because we did not bring any bread.” Their conclusion exposed a recurring weakness: they interpreted Jesus’ teaching in literal, material terms while missing its deeper meaning. Mat 14:17-21 “We have here only five loaves of bread…”… Aware of their conversation, Jesus knew the disciples’ private discussion and understood the concern behind it. Their worry over bread revealed that they had not grasped the warning He had just given or remembered His recent provision for the crowds. Mrk 8:17 Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them,… Jesus said, He addressed their misunderstanding directly, correcting them as the Rabbi and Teacher who patiently instructed His disciples. Mat 9:4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said,… “You of little faith, Their faith was real but weak when confronted with immediate needs. Though they had witnessed Jesus provide abundant food in the wilderness, they still allowed anxiety to govern their reasoning. Mat 8:26 “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid… why are you debating among yourselves Rather than seeking clarification from Jesus, they had focused on their own conclusions and discussed the problem among themselves. Mrk 9:33-34 Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house,… about having no bread? Their concern was not that bread was unimportant, but that they had forgotten who was with them. Jesus called them to remember His power and provision instead of treating their lack of supplies as an unsolvable problem. Mrk 8:14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread,… Do you still not understand? Jesus rebuked the disciples for their failure to recognize that His warning concerned spiritual corruption, not a shortage of food. Though they had witnessed His power repeatedly, they remained preoccupied with immediate physical needs. Mrk 8:21 Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?” Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, Jesus recalled the feeding of the five thousand, when He multiplied five loaves to provide for a vast crowd. The miracle revealed His authority to supply what His people lacked and should have assured the disciples that bread was not their true concern. Jhn 6:9-13 Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish.… and how many basketfuls you gathered? The twelve baskets of leftovers testified that Jesus had provided more than enough. Their failure to remember this abundance exposed how quickly they had forgotten what they had seen. Mrk 8:19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand,… Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, Jesus reminded the disciples of the crowd He fed after they had remained with Him for three days. With seven loaves and a few fish, He provided enough for everyone and left an abundance. Mat 15:36 Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks… and how many basketfuls you gathered? The disciples collected seven large baskets of leftovers. Their failure to remember this provision showed why Jesus warned them against unbelief and spiritual dullness. Mrk 8:20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand,”… How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? Jesus rebuked the disciples for interpreting His warning in terms of their lack of food. Having witnessed the feeding of the five thousand and the four thousand, they should have recognized that material bread was not the issue. Their concern revealed that they had not grasped the spiritual danger He was addressing. Mrk 8:17-21 Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them,… But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Jesus warned them against the corrupting influence of the Pharisees’ and Sadducees’ teaching. Though these groups differed in many beliefs and practices, both resisted Jesus and distorted God’s truth through hypocrisy, unbelief, and human tradition. Like leaven spreading through dough, false teaching can quietly affect the whole life of a people. Mrk 8:15 “Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven…”… Then they understood The disciples finally recognized that Jesus was correcting their spiritual dullness, not discussing their lack of bread. Their understanding came after He reminded them of the miraculous feedings and of God’s provision. Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them… that He was not telling them to beware of the leaven used in bread, Bread had become their immediate concern, causing them to take His warning literally. Jesus used leaven as an image of an influence that spreads quietly and affects everything around it. Mrk 8:14-21 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread,… but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Though these groups differed sharply in beliefs and practices, both promoted teaching that opposed Jesus’ authority and obscured God’s truth. The Pharisees added human traditions to the Law and often displayed outward righteousness without sincere faith. The Sadducees rejected doctrines such as the resurrection and were closely tied to the temple leadership. Jesus warned that their errors, if accepted, would spread among His followers. Mat 15:9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine…
Peter’s Confession of ChristCaesarea Philippi lay about 25 miles north of the Sea of Galilee at the foot of Mount Hermon. Formerly associated with pagan worship, including devotion to Pan, it had been enlarged and renamed by Herod Philip in honor of Caesar Augustus. Against this setting of idolatry and Roman rule, Jesus led His disciples toward a clear declaration of His identity and kingdom. Mrk 8:27 Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages… He questioned His disciples: Jesus drew His disciples into careful reflection, preparing them for the confession that would distinguish popular opinion from true faith. Mrk 8:5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked… “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” Jesus used the title Son of Man for Himself, identifying Himself as the promised Messiah and rightful ruler whose kingdom would endure. The question exposed the uncertainty surrounding His ministry and prepared the way for the disciples to state what they had come to believe about Him. Mrk 8:28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah”… They replied, The disciples reported the opinions they had heard among the crowds concerning Jesus’ identity. Mrk 8:27-29 Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages… “Some say John the Baptist; Herod Antipas had executed John, and reports of Jesus’ miracles led some to think John had returned from the dead. Mat 14:1-2 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports… others say Elijah; Others connected Jesus with Elijah, the prophet expected to appear before the coming of the Messiah. Mat 11:13-14 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.… and still others, Jeremiah Some saw in Jesus the burdened, confrontational ministry associated with Jeremiah, including His calls for repentance and sorrow over Jerusalem. Jer 26:8-15 and as soon as he had finished telling all the people… or one of the prophets.” The public generally recognized Jesus as a prophet sent by God, yet many had not understood that He was the Messiah. Jhn 6:14 When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed,… “But what about you?” After hearing the crowds identify Him with John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or another prophet, Jesus turned to the disciples. They had traveled with Him, heard His teaching, and witnessed His works, so they could not remain content with public speculation. Jhn 6:67 So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?” Jesus asked. He drew them from repeating the opinions of others to stating their own conviction. Their answer would reveal whether they understood the significance of all they had seen. Mrk 8:27 Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages… “Who do you say I am?” The question centers on Jesus’ true identity and mission. Peter’s answer, given next, confesses Him as the Messiah, the Son of the living God, distinguishing Him from every prophet and teacher. Mrk 8:29 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”… Simon Peter answered, Peter spoke for the disciples, expressing the conviction formed through their close witness of Jesus’ teaching, works, and authority. His answer marked a decisive recognition of who Jesus truly was. Jhn 6:68-69 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go?… “You are the Christ, Peter identified Jesus as the promised Messiah, or Christ, meaning “Anointed One,” the anointed King sent by God to fulfill His purposes for Israel and the world. Although the disciples still expected clarification about the Messiah’s suffering and kingdom, Peter rightly recognized Jesus as God’s promised Deliverer. Jhn 20:31 But these are written so that you may believe… the Son of the living God.” Peter also confessed Jesus’ unique divine sonship. Israel’s God is living, active, and sovereign over all creation, unlike the idols worshiped by surrounding nations. Peter’s confession joined Jesus’ messianic office with His divine identity, becoming a foundational declaration of faith for the disciples and the early church. Jhn 11:27 “Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are… Jesus replied, He answered Peter’s confession at Caesarea Philippi, where the disciples had been asked who they believed Him to be. Jhn 7:16 “My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied.… “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! Jesus pronounced God’s favor on Peter, addressing him by his given name and family identity. Peter had recognized Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes because they see,… For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, Peter had not reached this conviction through human reasoning, popular opinion, or instruction alone. Gal 1:12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it;… but by My Father in heaven. God the Father had made the truth about His Son known to Peter, confirming that Peter’s confession rested on divine revelation. Mat 11:27 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father.… And I tell you that you are Peter, Jesus publicly confirmed Simon’s new identity and calling, naming him Peter, meaning “rock” in Greek. Following his confession that Jesus is the Messiah, Peter was set apart for a leading role among the apostles and in the early church. Jhn 1:42 Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him… and on this rock Jesus established Peter as a foundational figure in the church’s beginning, particularly through his witness to Christ. Peter’s ministry would help lay the church’s foundation, while Christ Himself remains its ultimate source and head. Eph 2:20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets… I will build My church, The church, a called-out assembly, belongs to Jesus and exists by His authority. He would gather His people through the apostolic witness, beginning after His resurrection and continuing as the gospel spread. Eph 2:21-22 In Him the whole building is fitted together… and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. Death and the powers opposed to God’s kingdom would not destroy Christ’s church. Jesus’ resurrection secured this victory, and His people would endure despite persecution, opposition, and death. Rev 1:18 the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive… I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus entrusted Peter with a leading role in opening the kingdom through the proclamation of the gospel. Peter would soon preach publicly at Pentecost and later witness the gospel’s reception among Gentiles. The keys portray authority exercised under Christ, not independent power over the kingdom. Isa 22:22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David.… Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, Peter and the other apostles were given responsibility to establish Christ’s teaching, address sin, and guard the church’s doctrine and discipline. Their judgments were to reflect God’s revealed will and carried heaven’s authority because they spoke under Christ’s commission. Jhn 20:23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven… and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” The same authority included recognizing repentance, proclaiming forgiveness through Christ, and receiving believers into the fellowship of the church. Christ alone forgives sins, but His church faithfully declares that forgiveness and freedom to those who trust in Him. Jhn 11:44 The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet… Then He admonished the disciples Jesus sternly commanded the disciples after Peter’s confession, underscoring both the truth of His identity and the need to follow His direction. Luk 9:21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone. not to tell anyone Public announcement could have fueled political expectations of a Messiah who would lead a revolt against Rome and would have hindered the appointed course of His ministry. Mrk 1:44 See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself… that He was the Christ. Jesus was indeed the promised Messiah, the Anointed One, but the disciples still needed to understand that His mission would lead through suffering, death, and resurrection before His identity was openly proclaimed. Act 9:22 But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded…
Christ’s Passion ForetoldJesus’ ministry entered a decisive stage. Having revealed Himself as the Messiah, He began preparing the disciples for the events that would complete His saving work. Mat 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent… Jesus began to show His disciples He spoke plainly about what lay ahead, correcting expectations of a Messiah who would immediately establish an earthly kingdom. The disciples needed to understand that His path to glory would first lead through suffering. Mrk 8:31 Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man… that He must go to Jerusalem Jerusalem was the religious center of Israel, the site of the temple, and the place where opposition from the nation’s leaders would reach its height. His journey there followed God’s appointed purpose. Luk 9:51 As the day of His ascension approached,… and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, Israel’s ruling council and religious authorities rejected Jesus despite His teaching, works, and fulfillment of God’s promises. Their actions were sinful, yet they occurred within God’s plan of redemption. Luk 22:66-71 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people,… and that He must be killed Jesus’ death was not an unforeseen defeat but the necessary sacrifice for sin. He would willingly give His life, bearing the judgment sinners deserved. Act 2:23 He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge,… and on the third day be raised to life. His resurrection would confirm His identity, defeat death, and establish the foundation of the disciples’ future witness. Luk 24:46 And He told them, “This is what is written:… Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. Peter drew Jesus aside privately, acting from sincere devotion but also from a serious misunderstanding. As a disciple, he should have received Jesus’ words with faith, yet he presumed to correct the One he had confessed as the Messiah. Peter expected the Messiah to triumph over Israel’s enemies, not to suffer rejection and death. Mrk 8:32 He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside… “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. Peter’s protest shows both his love for Jesus and his inability to accept what Jesus had foretold. He acknowledged Jesus as Lord while resisting the path the Lord had come to fulfill. His hopes for the kingdom did not yet include the suffering required before its final victory. Gen 18:25 Far be it from You to do such a thing—to kill the righteous… “This shall never happen to You!” Peter directly opposed Jesus’ announcement of His coming suffering and death. He could not see that the cross was not a defeat or accident, but the appointed means by which Jesus would save His people. His response reveals how easily human expectations can conflict with God’s purpose. Jhn 18:11 “Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter.… But Jesus turned and said to Peter, Jesus addressed Peter directly after Peter objected to the suffering and death Jesus had foretold. Though Peter had rightly confessed Jesus as the Messiah, he still expected a victorious ruler rather than a Messiah who would suffer, die, and rise again. Luk 22:31-32 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.… “Get behind Me, Satan! Jesus did not identify Peter as Satan but rebuked the opposition behind Peter’s words. Satan means adversary. Peter’s attempt to turn Jesus from the cross reflected the same evil purpose of diverting Him from the Father’s will. Peter needed to return to his place as a follower of Christ. Mrk 8:33 But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples… You are a stumbling block to Me. Peter’s counsel would have hindered the path Jesus came to fulfill. The cross was not a tragic interruption of His mission but the necessary means by which He would bear sin and accomplish redemption. 1Co 8:9 Be careful, however, that your freedom does not… For you do not have in mind the things of God, Peter viewed Jesus’ mission through human expectations and could not yet grasp that God’s plan required the Messiah’s sacrificial death. Col 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. but the things of men.” Human ambition seeks power, safety, and earthly success, while God’s purpose in Christ required obedience, suffering, and victory through the cross. Jhn 12:43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
Take Up Your CrossJesus addressed those who had committed themselves to Him after revealing that He would suffer, die, and rise again. His words clarified that His mission would shape the calling of all who belonged to Him. Mrk 8:34 Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples,… “If anyone wants to come after Me, The invitation extends beyond the Twelve to every person who would become Christ’s disciple. Following Him means leaving one’s former direction to live under His authority. Jhn 12:26 If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am… he must deny himself A disciple must no longer place personal desires, ambitions, or self-rule above obedience to God. This is not self-hatred, but the surrender of the old life to Christ. Gal 5:24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh… and take up his cross In the Roman world, the cross represented public shame, suffering, and death. Jesus called His followers to accept whatever cost faithfulness to Him may bring, even when it leads to rejection or persecution. Mat 10:38 anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me… and follow Me. Discipleship is a continuing life of obedience patterned after Jesus. Those who follow Him share in His reproach in this world and belong to Him in the life to come. Jhn 21:19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death… For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, Jesus warned that those who preserve comfort, security, or reputation by refusing to follow Him will forfeit the life God gives. After revealing His coming suffering and death, He called His disciples to recognize that allegiance to Him may bring rejection, loss, and danger. Luk 17:33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it… but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Those who surrender themselves to Christ, even at the cost of earthly security or life itself, receive true life from Him. The loss is real, but it is not final: Christ promises resurrection and eternal life to all who remain faithful to Him. Mat 10:39 Whoever finds his life will lose it… What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, A man may attain wealth, power, honor, and every earthly advantage, yet all such gains remain temporary. The riches and authority of Rome illustrated the highest worldly success known to many in Jesus’ day, but even an empire could not secure life beyond death. Mrk 8:36 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world… yet forfeits his soul? The soul belongs to God and bears eternal value. To reject God for the sake of earthly gain is to lose the life for which man was created and to face eternal separation from Him. Mat 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body… Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? No possession, achievement, or human payment can recover a soul once it is lost, underscoring its incomparable value. Only the redemption provided through Christ can save sinners from the judgment their sin deserves. Mrk 8:37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come Jesus foretold His future, visible return as the Messiah and King, fulfilling Daniel’s vision of the Son of Man receiving everlasting dominion. Mat 24:30 At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear… in His Father’s glory He will return in the full majesty, holiness, and authority of God, openly displaying the glory He shares with the Father. Mrk 8:38 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous… with His angels, Heavenly angels will accompany Christ as His royal attendants and servants, gathering His people and carrying out His judgment. 2Th 1:7 to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well… and then He will repay each one His return will include the final judgment, when every person will stand accountable before Him. Rom 2:6 God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” according to what he has done. Each life will be judged with perfect justice. Works reveal the reality of a person’s faith, rebellion, and response to God. 2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,… Truly I tell you, Jesus gives a solemn assurance that what follows is certain and carries His full authority. Mat 24:34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away… some who are standing here He speaks to those present, including the disciples who had just heard His teaching about discipleship and His future return. Mrk 9:1 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some…”… will not taste death This Semitic idiom means that some of them would not die but would remain alive to witness the event He describes. Jhn 8:52 Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews… before they see the Son of Man Jesus refers to Himself in His messianic authority and coming glory. Dan 7:13-14 In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw… coming in His kingdom.” The most immediate fulfillment came six days later at the Transfiguration, when Peter, James, and John saw Christ revealed in glory. That event gave them a visible foretaste of the kingdom and confirmed the truth of His promised reign. Mat 17:1-8 After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John… This is a draft of the Berean Study Bible. Please send all comments and recommendations to bereanstudybible@aol.com. Bible Hub |
