Simon Peter said: "You are The CHRIST, The Son of The living God." In response JESUS said to him: "Happy you are, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh & blood did not reveal [it] to you, but My Father who is in the heavens did. (Mt.16:16,17)

"Woe to you, scribes & Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the graves of the prophets & decorate the memorial tombs of the righteous ones, & you say, 'If we were in the days of our forefathers, we would not be sharers with them in the blood of the prophets.' Therefore you are bearing witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.... I am sending forth to you prophets & wise men & public instructors. Some of them you will kill & impale, & some of them you will scourge in your synagogues & persecute from city to city; that there may come upon you all the righteous blood spilled on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah.... (Mt.23:29-35)

But the chief priests took the silver pieces & said: "It is not lawful to drop them into the sacred treasury, because they are the price of blood." After consulting together, they bought with them the potter's field to bury strangers. Therefore that field has been called "Field of blood" to this very day. (Mt.27:4-8)

At that very season there were certain ones present that reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. So in reply He said to them: "Do you imagine that these Galileans were proved worse sinners than all other Galileans because they have suffered these things? No, indeed, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all likewise be destroyed. (Lk.13:1-3)

However, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave authority to become God's children, because they were exercising faith in His name; & they were BORN, not from blood or from a fleshly will or from man's will, but from God. (Jn.1:10-13)

JESUS said to them: "Most truly I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of The Son of Man & drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He that feeds on My flesh & drinks My blood has everlasting life, & I shall resurrect him at the last day; for My flesh is true food, & My blood is true drink. He that feeds on My flesh & drinks My blood remains in union with me, & I in union with him. (Jn.6:53-56)

"We positively ordered you not to keep teaching upon the basis of this name, & yet, look! you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, & you are determined to bring the blood of this man upon us." (Acts 5:28)

Hence my decision is not to trouble those from the nations who are turning to God, but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols & from fornication & from what is strangled & from blood. For The Spirit The Holy & we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols & from blood & from things strangled & from fornication. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. (Acts 15:19,20,28,29)

Paul began to be intensely occupied with the word, witnessing to the Jews to prove that JESUS is The CHRIST. But after they kept on opposing & speaking abusively, he shook out his garments & said to them: "Let your blood be upon your own heads. I am clean. From now on I will go to people of the nations." (Acts 18:5)

I am clean from the blood of all men, for I have not held back from telling you all the counsel of God. Pay attention to yourselves & to all the flock, among which The Spirit The Holy has appointed you overseers, to shepherd the congregation of God, which He purchased with the blood of His own [Son]. (Acts 20:26-28)

As for the believers from among the nations, we have sent out, rendering our decision that they should keep themselves from what is sacrificed to idols as well as from blood & what is strangled & from fornication. (Acts 21:25)

LORD, they themselves well know that I used to imprison & flog in one synagogue after another those believing upon you; & when the blood of Stephen your witness was being spilled, I myself was also standing by & approving & guarding the outer garments of those doing away with him. (Acts 22:19,20)

their feet are speedy to shed blood. (Rom.3:15)

For all have sinned & fall short of the glory of God, & it is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by His undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom [paid] by Christ JESUS. God set Him forth as an offering for propitiation through faith in His blood. This was in order to exhibit His own righteousness, because He was forgiving the sins that occurred in the past while God was exercising forbearance; so as to exhibit His own righteousness in this present season, that He might be righteous even when declaring righteous the man that has faith in JESUS. Where, then, is the boasting? It is shut out. Through what law? That of works? No indeed, but through the law of faith. For we reckon that a man is declared righteous by faith apart from works of law. (Rom.3:23-28)

But God recommends His own love to us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more, therefore, since we have been declared righteous now by His blood, shall we be saved through Him from wrath. (Rom.5:8,9)

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of The CHRIST? (1Cor.10:16)

"This cup means the new covenant by virtue of My blood. Keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this loaf & drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the LORD, until He arrives. Consequently whoever eats the loaf or drinks the cup of the LORD unworthily will be guilty respecting the body & the blood of the LORD. (1Cor.11:25-27)

However, this I say, brothers, that flesh & blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption. (1Cor.15:50)

But when God... thought good to reveal His Son in connection with me, that I might declare the good news about Him to the nations, I did not go at once into conference with flesh & blood. (Gal.1:15,16)

by means of Him we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of [our] trespasses, according to the riches of His undeserved kindness. (Eph.1:7)

But now in union with Christ JESUS you who were once far off have come to be near by the blood of The CHRIST. (Eph.2:13)

we have a wrestling, not against blood & flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places. (Eph.6:12)

He is The Head of The Body, the congregation. He is The Beginning, The Firstborn from the dead, that He might become the one who is first in all things; because [God] saw good for all fullness to dwell in Him, & through Him to reconcile again to Himself all [other] things by making peace through the blood [He shed] on the torture stake, no matter whether they are the things upon the earth or the things in the heavens. (Col.1:18-20)

Therefore, since the "young children" are sharers of blood & flesh, He also similarly partook of the same things, that through His death He might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil; & [that] He might emancipate all those who for fear of death were subject to slavery all through their lives. (Heb.2:14,15)

but into the 2nd [compartment] the high priest alone enters once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself & for the sins of ignorance of the people. Thus The Spirit The Holy makes it plain that the way into the holy place had not yet been made manifest while the first tent was standing. This very [tent] is an illustration for the appointed time that is now here, & in keeping with it both gifts & sacrifices are offered. However, these are not able to make the [man] doing sacred service perfect as respects his conscience, but have to do only with foods & drinks & various baptisms. They were legal requirements pertaining to the flesh & were imposed until the appointed time to set things straight. (Heb.9:7-10)

However, when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come to pass, through the greater & more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, He entered, no, not with the blood of goats & of young bulls, but with His own blood, once for all time into the holy place & obtained an everlasting deliverance [for us]. For if the blood of goats & of bulls & the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies to the extent of cleanness of the flesh, how much more will the blood of The CHRIST, who through an everlasting spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works that we may render sacred service to [the] living God? (Heb.9:11-14)

So that is why He is a mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death has occurred for [their] release by ransom from the transgressions under the former covenant, the ones who have been called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance. For where there is a covenant, the death of the [human] covenanter needs to be furnished. For a covenant is valid over dead [victims], since it is not in force at any time while the [human] covenanter is living. Consequently neither was the former [covenant] inaugurated without blood. For when every commandment according to the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of the young bulls & of the goats with water & scarlet wool & hyssop & sprinkled the book itself & all the people, saying: "This is the blood of the covenant that God has laid as a charge upon you." And he sprinkled the tent & all the vessels of the public service likewise with the blood. Yes, nearly all things are cleansed with blood according to the Law, & unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place. (Heb.9:15-22)

Therefore it was necessary that the typical representations of the things in the heavens should be cleansed by these means, but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices that are better than such sacrifices. For Christ entered, not into a holy place made with hands, which is a copy of the reality, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the person of God for us. Neither is it in order that He should offer Himself often, as indeed the high priest enters into the holy place from year to year with blood not his own. Otherwise, He would have to suffer often from the founding of the world. But now He has manifested Himself once for all time at the conclusion of the systems of things to put sin away through the sacrifice of Himself. And as it is reserved for men to die once for all time, but after this a judgment, so also The CHRIST was offered once for all time to bear the sins of many; & the 2nd time that He appears it will be apart from sin & to those earnestly looking for Him for [their] salvation. (Heb.9:23-28)

For since the Law has a shadow of the good things to come, but not the very substance of the things, [men] can never with the same sacrifices from year to year which they offer continually make those who approach perfect. Otherwise, would the [sacrifices] not have stopped being offered, because those rendering sacred service who had been cleansed once for all time would have no consciousness of sins anymore? To the contrary, by these sacrifices there is a reminding of sins from year to year, for it is not possible for the blood of bulls & of goats to take sins away. (Heb.10:1-4)

Hence when He comes into the world He says: "'Sacrifice & offering You did not want, but You prepared a body for Me. You did not approve of whole burnt offerings & sin [offering].' Then I said, 'Look! I am come (in the roll of the book it is written about Me) to do Your will, O God.'" After first saying: "You did not want nor did You approve of sacrifices & offerings & whole burnt offerings & sin [offering]"--[sacrifices] that are offered according to the Law-- then He actually says: "Look! I am come to do Your will." He does away with what is first that He may establish what is 2nd. By the said "will" we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of JESUS CHRIST once for all time. (Heb.10:5-10)

Also, every priest takes his station from day to day to render public service & to offer the same sacrifices often, as these are at no time able to take sins away completely. But this [man] offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually & sat down at the right hand of God, from then on awaiting until His enemies should be placed as a stool for His feet. For it is by one [sacrificial] offering that He has made those who are being sanctified perfect perpetually. Moreover, The Spirit The Holy also bears witness to us, for after it has said: "'This is the covenant that I shall covenant toward them after those days,' says Jehovah. 'I will put My laws in their hearts, & in their minds I shall write them,'" [it says afterwards:] "And I shall by no means call their sins & their lawless deeds to mind anymore." Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. (Heb.10:11-18)

Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness for the way of entry into the holy place by the blood of JESUS, which He inaugurated for us as a new & living way through the curtain, that is, His flesh, & since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us approach with true hearts in the full assurance of faith.... For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, but [there is] a certain fearful expectation of judgment & [there is] a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition. Any man that has disregarded the law of Moses dies without compassion, upon the testimony of 2 or 3. Of how much more severe a punishment, do you think, will the man be counted worthy who has trampled upon The Son of God & who has esteemed as of ordinary value the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, & who has outraged The Spirit of Undeserved Kindness with contempt? For we know Him that said: "Vengeance is mine; I will recompense"; & again: "Jehovah will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of [the] living God. (Heb.10:19-31)

By faith he had celebrated the Passover & the splashing of the blood, that the destroyer might not touch their firstborn ones. (Heb.11:28)

In carrying on your contest against that sin you have never yet resisted as far as blood, (Heb.12:4)

JESUS the mediator of a new covenant, & the blood of sprinkling, which speaks in a better way than Abel's [blood]. (Heb.12:24)

For the bodies of those animals whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest for sin are burned up outside the camp. Hence JESUS also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. (Heb.13:11,12)

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an everlasting covenant, our LORD JESUS, equip you with every good thing to do His will, performing in us through JESUS CHRIST that which is well-pleasing in His sight; to whom be the glory forever & ever. Amen. (Heb.13:20,21)

Peter, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST..., to the ones chosen according to the foreknowledge of God The Father, with sanctification by the spirit, for the purpose of their being obedient & sprinkled with the blood of JESUS CHRIST: May undeserved kindness & peace be increased to you. Blessed be the God & Father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for according to His great mercy He gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST from the dead, to an incorruptible & undefiled & unfading inheritance. It is reserved in the heavens for you, who are being safeguarded by God's power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last period of time. (1Pet.1:1-5)

For you know that it was not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, that you were delivered from your fruitless form of conduct received by tradition from your forefathers. But it was with precious blood, like that of an unblemished & spotless lamb, even Christ's. (1Pet.1:18,19)

and the blood of JESUS His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we make the statement: "We have no sin," we are misleading ourselves & the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful & righteous so as to forgive us our sins & to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we make the statement: "We have not sinned," we are making Him a liar, & His word is not in us. (1Jn.1:7-10)

Who is the one that conquers the world but he who has faith that JESUS is The Son of God? This is He that came by means of water & blood, JESUS CHRIST; not with the water only, but with the water & with the blood. And The Spirit is that which is bearing witness, because The Spirit is The Truth. For there are 3 witness bearers, The Spirit & the water & the blood, & the 3 are in agreement. If we receive the witness men give, the witness God gives is greater, because this is the witness God gives, the fact that He has borne witness concerning His Son. The [person] putting his faith in The Son of God has the witness given in his own case. the [person] not having faith in God has made Him a liar, because he has not put his faith in the witness given, which God as witness has given concerning His Son. And this is the witness given, that God gave us everlasting life, & this life is in His Son. He that has The Son has this life; he that does not have The Son of God does not have this life. I write you these things that you may know that you have life everlasting, you who put your faith in the name of The Son of God. (1Jn.5:5-13)

JESUS CHRIST, "The Faithful Witness," "The firstborn from the dead," & "The Ruler of the kings of the earth." To Him that loves us & that loosed us from our sins by means of His own blood-- & He made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God & Father--yes, to Him be the glory & the might forever. Amen. (Rev.1:5,6)

And when He took the scroll, the 4 living creatures & the 24 elders fell down before The Lamb... And they sing a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll & open its seals, because You were slaughtered & with Your blood You bought persons for God out of every tribe & tongue & people & nation...." (Rev.5:8,9)

And they cried with a loud voice, saying: "Until when, Sovereign LORD holy & true, are You refraining from judging & avenging our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?"... And I saw when He opened the 6th seal, & a great earthquake occurred; & the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, & the entire moon became as blood, & the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as when a fig tree shaken by a high wind casts its unripe figs. And the heaven departed as a scroll that is being rolled up, & every mountain & [every] island were removed from their places. And the kings of the earth & the top-ranking ones & the military commanders & the rich & the strong ones & every slave & [every] free person hid themselves in the caves & in the rock-masses of the mountains. And they keep saying to the mountains & to the rock-masses: "Fall over us & hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne & from the wrath of The Lamb, because the great day of their wrath has come, & who is able to stand?" (Rev.6:10-17)

"These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they & where did they come from?" So right away I said to him: "My lord, you are the one that knows." & he said to me: "These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, & they have washed their robes & made them white in the blood of The Lamb. (Rev.7:13,14)

And the first one blew his trumpet. And there occurred a hail & fire mingled with blood, & it was hurled to the earth; & a 3rd of the earth was burned up, & a 3rd of the trees was burned up, & all the green vegetation was burned up. And the 2nd angel blew his trumpet. And something like a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea. And a 3rd of the sea became blood; & a 3rd of the creatures that are in the sea which have souls died, & a 3rd of the boats were wrecked. (Rev.8:-97)

These have the authority to shut up heaven that no rain should fall during the days of their prophesying, & they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood & to strike the earth with every sort of plague as often as they wish. (Rev.11:6)

I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come to pass the salvation & the power & the kingdom of our God & the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day & night before our God! And they conquered him because of the blood of The Lamb & because of the word of their witnessing, & they did not love their souls even in the face of death. (Rev.12:10,11)

And the angel thrust his sickle into the earth & gathered the vine of the earth, & he hurled it into the great winepress of the anger of God. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, & blood came out of the winepress as high up as the bridles of the horses, for a distance of 1,600 furlongs. (Rev.14:19,20)

I heard a loud voice out of the sanctuary say to the 7 angels: "Go & pour out the 7 bowls of the anger of God into the earth." And the first one went off & poured out his bowl into the earth. And a hurtful & malignant ulcer came to be upon the men that had the mark of the wild beast & that were worshiping its image. And the 2nd one poured out his bowl into the sea. And it became blood as of a dead man, & every living soul died, [yes,] the things in the sea. And the 3rd one poured out his bowl into the rivers & the fountains of the waters. And they became blood. And I heard the angel over the waters say: "You, the One who is & who was, the loyal One, are righteous, because You have rendered these decisions, because they poured out the blood of holy ones & of prophets, & You have given them blood to drink. They deserve it." & I heard the altar say: "Yes, Jehovah God, The Almighty, true & righteous are Your judicial decisions." (Rev.16:1-7)

I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones & with the blood of the witnesses of JESUS. (Rev.17:6)

Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets & of holy ones & of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth. (Rev.18:24)

The salvation & the glory & the power belong to our God, because His judgments are true & righteous. For He has executed judgment upon the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, & He has avenged the blood of His slaves at her hand." (Rev.19:1,2)

I saw the heaven opened, &, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful & True, & He judges & carries on war in righteousness. His eyes are a fiery flame, & upon His head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but He Himself, & He is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, & the name He is called is The Word of God. (Rev.19:11-13)
