There I saw the dazzling light that shows the presence of Israel's God, just as I had seen it when I was by the Chebar River.

I recognized them as the same creatures which I had seen beneath the God of Israel at the Chebar River.

This vision was like the one I had seen when God came to destroy Jerusalem, and the one I saw by the Chebar River. Then I threw myself face downward on the ground.

While they all watched, the man got up, picked up his mat, and hurried away. They were all completely amazed and praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

And he went on to say, "I tell you, there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Kingdom of God come with power."

The shepherds went back, singing praises to God for all they had heard and seen; it had been just as the angel had told them.

They were all completely amazed! Full of fear, they praised God, saying, "What marvelous things we have seen today!"

I assure you that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Kingdom of God."

Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made. So those people have no excuse at all!

There they put me to the test and tried me, says God, although they had seen what I did for forty years.

No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us.

If we say we love God, but hate others, we are liars. For we cannot love God, whom we have not seen, if we do not love others, whom we have seen.

My dear friend, do not imitate what is bad, but imitate what is good. Whoever does good belongs to God; whoever does what is bad has not seen God.

and John has told all that he has seen. This is his report concerning the message from God and the truth revealed by Jesus Christ.
