[Those] fearing and reverencing men [unreasonably] have been overthrown, but he that trusts in the Lord shall rejoice. Ungodliness causes a man to stumble, but he that trusts in his master shall be safe.

And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.

Then the king said, Behold, he is in your hands. For the king could not resist them.

So she, being urged on by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison.

Then the governor said, "Why, what evil did He do?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!"

And all the people answered and said, "His blood [be] on us and on our children."

Immediately she came in with haste to the king and she requested, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

And immediately the king, having sent an executioner, commanded his head to be brought. And having departed, he beheaded him in the prison,

But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil did He do?" But they cried out all the more, "Crucify Him!"

So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered up Jesus, after he had Him flogged, so that He might be crucified.

From this [point] Pilate was seeking to release Him, but the Jews kept crying out, saying, "If you release this [Man], you are no friend of Caesar's. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

Now it was the Preparation [Day] of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led [Him] away.

But after two years had passed, Felix received Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desiring to grant favors to the Jews, left Paul in prison.

But Festus, desiring to grant a favor to the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be judged before me concerning these things?"

For if I am doing wrong, and have done anything worthy of death, I am not trying to escape a death sentence; but if there is nothing in these things of which these [people] are accusing me, no one is able to deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar."

For rulers are not a fear to good works, but to evil. And do you wish not to fear the authority? Do what is good, and you shall have praise from the same.

And when he drew near to the den, he cried out with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lion's mouth?

Now then, if you are ready, whenever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, pipe, harp, sackbut, psaltery, harmony, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the golden image which I have made, [fine;] but if you will not worship, in the same hour you shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace; and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?

For our God whom we serve is in the heavens, able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He shall rescue us from your hands, O king.

And King Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, [and] Abed-Nego, who has sent His angel, and delivered His servants, because they trusted in Him; and they have changed the king's word, and delivered their bodies to be burned, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

Six times He shall deliver you out of distresses, and in the seventh, harm shall not touch you.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and He is their defender in the time of affliction.

And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them; and He shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in Him.

[It is] better to hope in the Lord, than to hope in princes.
