And behold, they were carrying a paralytic to Him lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Have courage, child; your sins are forgiven you."

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but have courage, I have overcome the world."

Now on the next night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, Paul; for as you solemnly testified about the things concerning Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."

Who has performed and done these things? He has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to [all] futurity, I AM.

Fear not; for I am with you; wander not; for I am your God, who has strengthened you; and I have helped you, and have established you with My righteous right hand.

Fear not, Jacob, [and you] Israel few in number; I have helped you, says your God, He that redeems you, O Israel.

I, [even] I, am He that comforts you; consider who you are, that you were afraid of mortal man, and of the son of man, who have withered as grass.

And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have."

But He said to them, "[It is] I AM; do not fear."

"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and I will receive you unto Myself; so that where I am, there you may be also.

And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as [if] dead. But He put His right hand on me, saying, "Do not fear; I am the First and the Last.

I am He who lives, and became dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
