Name

She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).

But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.

So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”

In His name the nations will put their hope.”

And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.

For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),

James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),

“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a descendant of Aaron.

But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.

Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.

For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.

On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.

They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”

Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.

When the eight days before His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He was conceived.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”

Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.

“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors.

And you will be hated by everyone because of My name.

Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”

and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—

While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.

They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”

Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”

Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.

They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”

Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”

Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.

“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”

But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.

At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,

But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.

“Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.

In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”

And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”

“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.

I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”

All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who had spoken to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.

So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.

There he found a man named Aeneas who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.

In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.

One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)

He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.

They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,

But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.

Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.

so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does these things

men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.

Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.

She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.

But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.

There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,

So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.

But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”

Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.

On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They would say, “I command you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.”

This became known to all the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear came over all of them. So the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.

It began with a silversmith named Demetrius who made silver shrines of Artemis, bringing much business to the craftsmen.

And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead.

After we had been there several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’

So then, I too was convinced that I ought to do all I could to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.

Nearby stood an estate belonging to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”

To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?

so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.

When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have contended at my side for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.

All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.

Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.

He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?

Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.

And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.

I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.

I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits, yet you hold fast to My name. You did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of My faithful witness Antipas, who was killed among you where Satan dwells.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it.

“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead.

But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white.

Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels.

I know your deeds. Behold, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. I know that you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.

The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name.

Then I looked and saw a pale green horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth.

The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters.

They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.

And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great—and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.

And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven.

And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.

so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Then I looked and saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 who had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads.

And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”

And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, beside which stood those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name. They were holding harps from God,

Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

And the people were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues. Yet they did not repent and give Him glory.

And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

The beast that you saw—it was, and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. And those who dwell on the earth whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet will be.

He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows.

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God.

And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.

The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.
