So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel,“ May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”

Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king declared to Daniel,“ May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”

So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him,“ May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.”

So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel,“ May your God, whom you continually serve, rescue you!”

Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and thrown into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel,“ Your God whom you continually serve will Himself rescue you.”

So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel,“ Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.”

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel,“ May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast[ him] into the den of lions.[ Now] the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

So the king gave the order, and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den of lions. The king consoled Daniel by saying,“ Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!”

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel,“ Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”

The Lord saves those who do what is right. He is their place of safety when trouble comes.The Lord helps them and saves them. He saves them from sinful people because they go to him for safety.

From six troubles he will save you. Even if you are in trouble seven times, no harm will come to you.

The Lord says,“ I will save the one who loves me. I will keep him safe, because he trusts in me.He will call out to me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in times of trouble. I will save him and honor him.I will give him a long and full life. I will save him.”

You will pass through deep waters. But I will be with you. You will pass through the rivers. But their waters will not sweep over you. You will walk through fire. But you will not be burned. The flames will not harm you.

Then Nebuchadnezzar said,“ May the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be praised! He has sent his angel and saved his servants. They trusted in him. They refused to obey my command. They were willing to give up their lives. They would rather die than serve or worship any god except their own God.

I’m the anointed king. But today I’m weak. These sons of Zeruiah are too powerful for me. May the Lord pay back the one who killed Abner! May he pay him back for the evil thing he has done!”

We might be thrown into the blazing furnace. But the God we serve is able to bring us out of it alive. He will save us from your power.

When he got near it, he called out to Daniel. His voice was filled with great concern. He said,“ Daniel! You serve the living God. You always serve him faithfully. So has he been able to save you from the lions?”

It is better to go to the Lord for safety than to trust in mere human beings.It is better to go to the Lord for safety than to trust in human leaders.

If you are afraid of people, it will trap you. But if you trust in the Lord, he will keep you safe.

If I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I’m willing to die. But the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true. No one has the right to hand me over to them. I make my appeal to Caesar!”

You will hear the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, pipes and other musical instruments. When you do, fall down and worship the statue I made. If you will, that’s very good. But if you won’t, you will be thrown at once into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to save you from my power?”

Two years passed. Porcius Festus took the place of Felix. But Felix wanted to do the Jews a favor. So he left Paul in prison.

“ Why? What wrong has he done?” asked Pilate. But they shouted even louder,“ Crucify him!”Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere. Instead, the crowd was starting to get angry. So he took water and washed his hands in front of them.“ I am not guilty of this man’s death,” he said.“ You are accountable for that!”All the people answered,“ Put the blame for his death on us and our children!”Pilate let Barabbas go free. But he had Jesus whipped. Then he handed him over to be nailed to a cross.

“ He’s in your hands,” King Zedekiah answered.“ I can’t do anything to oppose you.”

At once the girl hurried to ask the king. She said,“ I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a big plate right now.”The king was very upset. But he thought about his promise and his dinner guests. So he did not want to say no to the girl.He sent a man right away to bring John’s head. The man went to the prison and cut off John’s head.He brought it back on a big plate. He gave it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

But Festus wanted to do the Jews a favor. So he said to Paul,“ Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem? Are you willing to go on trial there? Are you willing to face these charges in my court?”

If you do what is right, you won’t need to be afraid of your rulers. But watch out if you do what is wrong! You don’t want to be afraid of those in authority, do you? Then do what is right, and you will be praised.

Her mother told her what to say. So the girl said to Herod,“ Give me the head of John the Baptist on a big plate.”The king was very upset. But he thought of his promise and his dinner guests. So he told one of his men to give her what she asked for.Herod had John’s head cut off in the prison.

“ Why? What wrong has he done?” asked Pilate. But they shouted even louder,“ Crucify him!”Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd. So he let Barabbas go free. He ordered that Jesus be whipped. Then he handed him over to be nailed to a cross.

All the royal leaders, high officials, royal rulers, advisers and governors want to make a suggestion. We’ve agreed that you should give an order. And you should make sure it’s obeyed. Your Majesty, here is the command you should make your people obey for the next 30 days. Don’t let any of your people pray to any god or human being except to you. If they do, throw them into the lions’ den.

From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free. But the Jewish leaders kept shouting,“ If you let this man go, you are not Caesar’s friend! Anyone who claims to be a king is against Caesar!”When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out. Pilate sat down on the judge’s seat. It was at a place called the Stone Walkway. In the Aramaic language it was called Gabbatha.It was about noon on Preparation Day in Passover Week.“ Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.But they shouted,“ Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”“ Should I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.“ We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.Finally, Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be nailed to a cross. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.

As for me, I’m in your hands. Do to me what you think is good and right.

I belong to God and serve him. Last night his angel stood beside me.The angel said,‘ Do not be afraid, Paul. You must go on trial in front of Caesar. God has shown his grace by sparing the lives of all those sailing with you.’
