So Saul asked God, "Shall I attack the Philistines? Will you give us victory?" But God did not answer that day.

and so he asked the LORD what to do. But the LORD did not answer him at all, either by dreams or by the use of Urim and Thummim or by prophets.

"Mortal man," he said, "these men have given their hearts to idols and are letting idols lead them into sin. Do they think I will give them an answer?

I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."

Jesus gave a command to the demon, and it went out of the boy, and at that very moment he was healed.

"It was because you do not have enough faith," answered Jesus. "I assure you that if you have faith as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this hill, 'Go from here to there!' and it will go. You could do anything!"

Jesus said to them, "How unbelieving you people are! How long must I stay with you? How long do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy to me!"

"How long has he been like this?" Jesus asked the father. "Ever since he was a child," he replied.

"Yes," said Jesus, "if you yourself can! Everything is possible for the person who has faith."

Jesus noticed that the crowd was closing in on them, so he gave a command to the evil spirit. "Deaf and dumb spirit," he said, "I order you to come out of the boy and never go into him again!"

But Jesus took the boy by the hand and helped him rise, and he stood up.

"Only prayer can drive this kind out," answered Jesus; "nothing else can."

Some Jews who traveled around and drove out evil spirits also tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus to do this. They said to the evil spirits, "I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches."

But the evil spirit said to them, "I know Jesus, and I know about Paul; but you---who are you?"

All the Jews and Gentiles who lived in Ephesus heard about this; they were all filled with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was given greater honor.

They took the bull that was brought to them, prepared it, and prayed to Baal until noon. They shouted, "Answer us, Baal!" and kept dancing around the altar they had built. But no answer came.

They kept on ranting and raving until the middle of the afternoon; but no answer came, not a sound was heard.

people die, never to rise. They will never wake up while the sky endures; they will never stir from their sleep.

Many of those who have already died will live again: some will enjoy eternal life, and some will suffer eternal disgrace.

He went in and said to them, "Why all this confusion? Why are you crying? The child is not dead---she is only sleeping!"

Jesus said this and then added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I will go and wake him up."

After he had said this, he called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

He came out, his hands and feet wrapped in grave cloths, and with a cloth around his face. "Untie him," Jesus told them, "and let him go."

for anything that is clearly revealed becomes light. That is why it is said, "Wake up, sleeper, and rise from death, and Christ will shine on you."
