2. MARK 6:1-4
Jesus left there and went to his hometown,
accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath
came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and
many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this
man get these things?" they asked. "What's this
wisdom that has been given him, that he even does
miracles! 3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's
son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and
Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they
took offense at him. 4 Jesus said to them, "Only in
his hometown, among his relatives and in his own
house is a prophet without honor."
8. MARK 6:5-6
(Jesus) could not do any miracles
there, except lay his hands on a few
sick people and heal them. 6 And
he was amazed at their lack of faith.
13. ROMANS 13:1-7
Let everyone be subject to the
governing authorities, for there is no
authority except that which God has
established. The authorities that
exist have been established by God.
14. ROMANS 13:1-7
2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the
authority is rebelling against what God has
instituted, and those who do so will bring
judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no
terror for those who do right, but for those
who do wrong. Do you want to be free from
fear of the one in authority? Then do what is
right and you will be commended.
15. ROMANS 13:1-7
4 For the one in authority is God’s
servant for your good. But if you do
wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear
the sword for no reason. They are God’s
servants, agents of wrath to bring
punishment on the wrongdoer. 5
Therefore, it is necessary to submit to
the authorities, not only because of
possible punishment but also as a
matter of conscience.
16. ROMANS 13:1-7
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for
the authorities are God’s servants,
who give their full time to governing.
17. ROMANS 13:1-7
Give to everyone what you owe
them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if
revenue, then revenue; if respect,
then respect; if honor, then honor.
18. 1 PETER 2:13-14
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s
sake to every human authority:
whether to the emperor, as the
supreme authority, 14 or to
governors, who are sent by him to
punish those who do wrong and to
commend those who do right.
20. 1 TIMOTHY 5:17
The elders who direct the affairs of
the church well are worthy of double
honor, especially those whose work
is preaching and teaching.
21. HEBREWS 13:17
Obey your spiritual leaders, and do
what they say. Their work is to
watch over your souls, and they are
accountable to God. Give them
reason to do this with joy and not
with sorrow. That would certainly
not be for your benefit.
22. ROMANS 12:10 (NIV)
Be devoted to one another in love.
Honor one another above
yourselves.
23. ROMANS 12:10 (ESV)
Love one another with brotherly
affection. Outdo one another in
showing honor.

25. PSALMS 22:23
You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor
him! Revere him, all you
descendants of Israel!
26. ISAIAH 29:13
The Lord says: “These people come
near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips, but
their hearts are far from me. Their
worship of me is based on merely
human rules they have been taught.
27. Numbers 20:2-13
Now there was no water for the community,
and the people gathered in opposition to
Moses and Aaron. They quarreled with
Moses and said, "If only we had died when
our brothers fell dead before the LORD! Why
did you bring the LORD's community into this
desert, that we and our livestock should die
here?
28. Numbers 20:2-13
Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this
terrible place? It has no grain or figs,
grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no
water to drink!" Moses and Aaron went from
the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of
Meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of
the LORD appeared to them.
29. Numbers 20:2-13
The LORD said to Moses, "Take the staff, and you
and your brother Aaron gather the assembly
together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it
will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the
rock for the community so they and their livestock
can drink." So Moses took the staff from the
LORD's presence, just as he commanded him.
30. Numbers 20:2-13
He and Aaron gathered the assembly
together in front of the rock and Moses said
to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring
you water out of this rock?" Then Moses
raised his arm and struck the rock twice with
his staff. Water gushed out, and the
community and their livestock drank. But the
LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
31. Numbers 20:2-13
"Because you did not trust in me enough to
honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites,
you will not bring this community into the land
I give them." These were the waters of
Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with
the LORD and where he showed himself holy
among them.(NIV)
