New Believer’s Bible New living Translation, Laurie, Greg. Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. 1996. harvest.org Daily Bible Studies September 30, 2013 John 21: 15-25 Hebrews 4: 14- 5:6 John 21: 15-25 Jesus Challenges Peter 15 After breakfast Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord” Peter re-plied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. 16 Jesus repeated the question, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord, Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. 17 Once more he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, Lord, you know everything. You know I love you. Jesus said,” Then feed my sheep. 18 The truth is, when you were young, you were able to do as you liked and go wherever you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will direct you and take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to let him know what kind of death he would die to glorify god. Then Jesus told him, Follow me.” 20 Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them- the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who among us will betray you?” 21 Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” 22 Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You follow me.” 23 So the rumor spread among the community of believers that that disciple wouldn’t die. Hebrews 4: 14- 5:6 Christ is High Priest 14 That is why we have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same temptations we do, yet he did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it. Chapter 5 1 Now a High Priest is a man chosen to represent other human beings in their dealings with God. He presents their gifts to God and offers their sacrifices for sins. 2 And because he is human, he is able to deal gently with the people, through they are ignorant and wayward. For he is subject to the same weaknesses they have. 3 That is why he has to offer sacrifices, both for their sins and for his own sins. 4 And no one can become a high priest simply because he wants such an honor. He has to be called by God for his work, just as Aaron was. 5 That is why Christ did not exalt himself to become High Priest. No, he was chosen by God, who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.” 6 And in another passage God said to him, “You are a priest forever In the line of Melchizedek.”
