The angel who spoke to him left. Then Cornelius called two of his servants. He also called a godly soldier who was one of his attendants.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything. Don’t do it just to please them when they are watching you. Obey them with an honest heart. Do it out of respect for the Lord.Work at everything you do with all your heart. Work as if you were working for the Lord, not for human masters.Work because you know that you will finally receive as a reward what the Lord wants you to have. You are slaves of the Lord Christ.Anyone who does wrong will be paid back for what they do. God treats everyone the same.Masters, give your slaves what is right and fair. Do it because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

Rebekah’s attendant Deborah died. They buried her body under the oak tree outside Bethel. So it was called Allon Bakuth.

The next day we landed at Sidon. There Julius was kind to Paul. He let Paul visit his friends so they could give him what he needed.

Then Paul called one of the commanders. He said to him,“ Take this young man to the commanding officer. He has something to tell him.”

He said,“ I praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord hasn’t stopped being kind and faithful to my master. The Lord has led me on this journey. He has brought me to the house of my master’s relatives.”

Groups of soldiers from Aram had marched out. They had captured a young girl from Israel. She became a servant of Naaman’s wife.The young girl spoke to the woman she was serving. She said,“ I wish my master would go and see the prophet who is in Samaria. He would heal my master of his skin disease.”

The Roman commander saw what had happened. He praised God and said,“ Jesus was surely a man who did what was right.”

When the commander heard this, he went to the commanding officer and reported it.“ What are you going to do?” the commander asked.“ This man is a Roman citizen.”

His only daughter was dying. She was about 12 years old. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him.

But the commander wanted to save Paul’s life. So he kept the soldiers from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and swim to land.

A servant who has been spoiled from youth will have no respect for you later on.

The best servant in his house was in charge of everything Abraham had. Abraham said to him,“ Put your hand under my thigh.The Lord is the God of heaven and the God of earth. I want you to make a promise to me in his name. I’m living among the people of Canaan. But I want you to promise me that you won’t get a wife for my son from their daughters.Instead, promise me that you will go to my country and to my own relatives. Get a wife for my son Isaac from there.”The servant asked Abraham,“ What if the woman doesn’t want to come back with me to this land? Then should I take your son back to the country you came from?”“ Make sure you don’t take my son back there,” Abraham said.“ The Lord, the God of heaven, took me away from my father’s family. He brought me out of my own land. He made me a promise. He said,‘ I will give this land to your family after you.’ The Lord will send his angel ahead of you. So you will be able to get a wife for my son from there.The woman may not want to come back with you. If she doesn’t, you will be free from your promise. But don’t take my son back there.”So the servant put his hand under Abraham’s thigh. He promised to do what his master wanted.The servant chose ten of his master’s camels and left. He loaded the camels with all kinds of good things from his master. He started out for Aram Naharaim and made his way to the town of Nahor.He stopped near the well outside the town. There he made the camels get down on their knees. It was almost evening, the time when women go out to get water.Then he prayed,“ Lord, you are the God of my master Abraham. Make me successful today. Be kind to my master Abraham.I’m standing beside this spring. The daughters of the people who live in the town are coming out here to get water.I will speak to a young woman. I’ll say to her,‘ Please lower your jar so I can have a drink.’ Suppose she says,‘ Have a drink of water, and I’ll get some for your camels too.’ Then let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. That’s how I’ll know you have been kind to my master.”

It was decided that we would sail for Italy. Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a Roman commander named Julius. He belonged to the Imperial Guard.

A man named Cornelius lived in Caesarea. He was a Roman commander in the Italian Regiment.

Mary would later pour perfume on the Lord. She would also wipe Jesus’ feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick in bed.So the sisters sent a message to Jesus.“ Lord,” they told him,“ the one you love is sick.”

So Potiphar was pleased with Joseph and made him his attendant. He put Joseph in charge of his house. He trusted Joseph to take care of everything he owned.From that time on, the Lord blessed Potiphar’s family and servants because of Joseph. He blessed everything Potiphar had in his house and field.So Joseph took good care of everything Potiphar owned.

Once more, Jesus visited Cana in Galilee. Cana is where he had turned the water into wine. A royal official was there. His son was sick in bed at Capernaum.The official heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea. So he went to Jesus and begged him to come and heal his son. The boy was close to death.

The Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he has become rich. The Lord has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold. He has also given him male and female servants, camels and donkeys.My master’s wife Sarah had a son by him when she was old. He has given that son everything he owns.My master made me promise him. He said,‘ I’m living in the land of the people of Canaan. But promise me that you won’t get a wife for my son from their daughters.Instead, go to my father’s family and to my own relatives. Get a wife for my son there.’“ Then I asked my master,‘ What if the woman won’t come back with me?’“ He replied,‘ I have walked faithfully with the Lord. He will send his angel with you. He will give you success on your journey. So you will be able to get a wife for my son. She will be from my own relatives and from my father’s family.When you go to my relatives, suppose they refuse to give her to you. Then you will be free from the promise you made to me.’“ Today I came to the spring. I said,‘ Lord, you are the God of my master Abraham. Please make me successful on this journey I’ve made.I’m standing beside this spring. A young woman will come out to get water. I’ll say to her,“ Please let me drink a little water from your jar.”Suppose she says,“ Have a drink of water, and I’ll get some for your camels too.” Then let her be the one the Lord has chosen for my master’s son.’“ Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out. She was carrying a jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and got water. I said to her,‘ Please give me a drink.’“ She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder. She said,‘ Have a drink, and I’ll get water for your camels too.’ So I drank. She also got water for the camels.“ I asked her,‘ Whose daughter are you?’“ She said,‘ The daughter of Bethuel. He’s the son Milkah had by Nahor.’“ Then I put the ring in her nose. I put the bracelets on her arms.And I bowed down and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. He had led me on the right road. He had led me to get for my master’s son the granddaughter of my master’s brother.Now will you be kind and faithful to my master? If you will, tell me. And if you won’t, tell me. Then I’ll know which way to turn.”

The Roman commander and those guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened. They were terrified. They exclaimed,“ He was surely the Son of God!”
