Matthew 4v17<\/p>\n
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is at hand.<\/p>\n Matthew 5v3<\/p>\n Blessed\u00a0are\u00a0the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 5v10<\/p>\n Blessed\u00a0are\u00a0they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 5v12<\/p>\n Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great\u00a0is\u00a0your reward in heaven<\/span><\/span>: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.<\/p>\n Matthew 5v16<\/p>\n Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 5v18-20<\/p>\n For verily I say unto you, Till heaven<\/span><\/span> and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span>: but whosoever shall do and teach\u00a0them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed\u00a0the righteousness\u00a0of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 5v34<\/p>\n But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven<\/span>;<\/span> for it is God’s throne:<\/p>\n Matthew 5v45<\/p>\n That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven<\/span><\/span>: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.<\/p>\n Matthew 5v48<\/p>\n Be you, therefore, perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven<\/span><\/span> is perfect.<\/p>\n Matthew 6v1<\/p>\n Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise, you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 6v9-10<\/p>\n After this manner, therefore, pray you: Our Father which art in heaven<\/span><\/span>, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 6v20<\/p>\n But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven<\/span><\/span>, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:<\/p>\n Matthew 7v11<\/p>\n If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven<\/span><\/span> give good things to them that ask Him?<\/p>\n Matthew 7v21<\/p>\n Not every one that says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven<\/span>;<\/span> but he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 8v11<\/p>\n 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<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 10v7<\/p>\n And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is at hand.<\/p>\n Matthew 10v32-33<\/p>\n Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven<\/span><\/span>. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 11v11-12<\/p>\n Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is greater than he.\u00a0And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.<\/p>\n Matthew 11v25<\/p>\n At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven<\/span><\/span> and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.<\/p>\n Matthew 12v50<\/p>\n For whosoever shall do the will of My Father which is in heaven<\/span><\/span>, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.<\/p>\n Matthew 13v11<\/p>\n He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven<\/span>,<\/span> but to them, it is not given.<\/p>\n Matthew 13v24<\/p>\n Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:<\/p>\n Matthew 13v31<\/p>\n Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:<\/p>\n Matthew 13v33<\/p>\n Another parable spake He unto them; The kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.<\/p>\n Matthew 13v44-45,47<\/p>\n Again, the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man has found, he hides, and for joy thereof goes and sells all that he has, and buys the field. Again, the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:\u00a0Again, the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is like, unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:<\/p>\n Matthew 14v19<\/p>\n And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven<\/span><\/span>, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples and the disciples to the multitude.<\/p>\n Matthew 16v17, 19<\/p>\n And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed\u00a0it\u00a0unto you but My Father which is in heaven<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span>: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven<\/span>:<\/span> and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n Matthew 18v1,3-4<\/p>\n At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span>? Jesus\u00a0said, Verily I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 18v 10<\/p>\n Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven<\/span><\/span> their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 18v14<\/p>\n Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven<\/span><\/span>, that one of these little ones should perish.<\/p>\n Matthew 18v18-19<\/p>\n Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven<\/span><\/span>: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven<\/span><\/span>. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 18v23<\/p>\n Therefore is the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.<\/p>\n Matthew 19v21<\/p>\n Jesus said unto him, If you would be perfect, go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven<\/span>:<\/span> and come\u00a0and\u00a0follow me.<\/p>\n Matthew 19v23<\/p>\n Then said Jesus unto His disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 20v1<\/p>\n For the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.<\/p>\n Matthew 22v2<\/p>\n The kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,<\/p>\n Matthew 22v30<\/p>\n For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 23v9<\/p>\n And call no\u00a0man\u00a0your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 23v13<\/p>\n But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> against men: for you neither go in\u00a0yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in.<\/p>\n Matthew 23v22<\/p>\n And he that shall swear by heaven<\/span><\/span>, swear by the throne of God, and by Him that sits thereon.<\/p>\n Matthew 24v29-31<\/p>\n Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven<\/span>,<\/span> and the powers of the heavens<\/span> shall be shaken:\u00a0And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven<\/span>:<\/span> and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven<\/span><\/span> with power and great glory.\u00a0And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven<\/span><\/span> to the other.<\/p>\n Matthew 24v35<\/p>\n Heaven<\/span><\/span> and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.\u00a0But of that day and hour knows no\u00a0man, no, not the angels of heaven<\/span><\/span>, but My Father only.<\/p>\n Matthew 25V1<\/p>\n Then shall the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.<\/p>\n Matthew 25v14<\/p>\n For\u00a0the kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/span> is\u00a0as a man travelling into a far country,\u00a0who\u00a0called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.<\/p>\n Matthew 26v64<\/p>\n Jesus saith unto him, you have said: nevertheless, I say unto you, Hereafter shall you see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 28v2<\/p>\n And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven<\/span>,<\/span> and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.<\/p>\n Matthew 28v18<\/p>\n And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven<\/span><\/span> and in earth.<\/p>\n Mark 6v41<\/p>\n And when Jesus had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven<\/span>,<\/span> and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave\u00a0them\u00a0to His disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided He among them all.<\/p>\n Mark 10v21<\/p>\n Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing you lack go your way, sell whatsoever you have and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven<\/span><\/span>: and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.<\/p>\n Mark 11v25-26<\/p>\n And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven<\/span><\/span> may forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven<\/span><\/span> forgive your trespasses.<\/p>\n Mark 13v31-32<\/p>\n Heaven<\/span><\/span> and earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven<\/span>,<\/span> neither the Son, but the Father.<\/p>\n Mark 14v62<\/p>\n And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of\u00a0heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Mark 16v19<\/p>\n So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and sat on the right hand of God.<\/p>\n Luke 4v25<\/p>\n But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven<\/span><\/span> was shut up three years and six months when great famine was throughout all the land;<\/p>\n Luke 6v23<\/p>\n Rejoice you in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward\u00a0is\u00a0great in heaven<\/span>:<\/span> for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.<\/p>\n Luke 9v16<\/p>\n Then Jesus took the five loaves and the two fishes and looking up to heaven<\/span><\/span>, He blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.<\/p>\n Luke 10v20-21<\/p>\n Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in\u00a0heaven<\/span><\/span>. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven<\/span><\/span> and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Your sight.<\/p>\n Luke 11v2<\/p>\n And Jesus said unto them, When you pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven<\/span><\/span>, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven<\/span>, so in earth.<\/p>\n Luke 15v7<\/p>\n I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven<\/span><\/span> over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.<\/p>\n Luke 17v24<\/p>\n For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one\u00a0part\u00a0under heaven<\/span>,<\/span> shines unto the other\u00a0part\u00a0under heaven<\/span><\/span>; so shall also the Son of Man be in His day.<\/p>\n Luke 21v11<\/p>\n And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Luke 21v26<\/p>\n Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven<\/span><\/span> shall be shaken.<\/p>\n Luke 21v33<\/p>\n Heaven<\/span><\/span> and earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away.<\/p>\n John 3v13<\/p>\n And no man has ascended up to heaven<\/span>,<\/span> but He that came down from heaven<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0even\u00a0the Son of Man which is in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n John 6v32-33<\/p>\n Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven<\/span><\/span>; but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>For the bread of God is He which comes down from heaven<\/span>, and gives life unto the world.<\/p>\n John 6v50<\/p>\n This is the bread which comes down from
