Matthew 12:30-32
Whoever is not with me is against me. And anyone who does not work with me is working against me. “So I tell you, people can be forgiven for every sinful thing they do and for every bad thing they say against God. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. You can even speak against the Son of Man and be forgiven. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven—not now or in the future. (Matthew 12:30-32 ERV)

Psalms 20:1-5
May the Lord answer you in times of trouble. May the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from his Holy Place. May he support you from Zion. May he remember all the gifts you have offered. May he accept all your sacrifices. Selah May he give you what you really want. May he make all your plans successful. We will celebrate when he helps you. We will praise the name of God. May the Lord give you everything you ask for. (Psalms 20:1-5 ERV)
Genesis 18:13-14

Genesis 15:1-6
After all these things happened, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision. God said, “Abram, don’t be afraid. I will defend you and give you a great reward.” But Abram said, “Lord GOD, there is nothing you can give me that will make me happy, because I have no son. My slave Eliezer from Damascus will get everything I own after I die.” Abram said, “You have given me no son, so a slave born in my house will get everything I have.” Then the Lord spoke to Abram and said, “That slave will not be the one to get what you have. You will have a son who will get everything you own.” Then God led Abram outside and said, “Look at the sky. See the many stars. There are so many you cannot count them. Your family will be like that.” Abram believed the Lord, and because of this faith the Lord accepted him as one who has done what is right. (Genesis 15:1-6 ERV)

Matthew 9:18-20, 22-26
While Jesus was still talking, a leader of the synagogue came to him. The leader bowed down before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But if you will come and touch her with your hand, she will live again.” So Jesus and his followers went with the man. On the way, there was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. She came close behind Jesus and touched the bottom of his coat.
She was thinking, “If I can touch his coat, I will be healed.”
Jesus turned and saw the woman. He said, “Be happy, dear woman. You are made well because you believed.” Then the woman was healed. Jesus continued going with the Jewish leader and went into the leader’s house. He saw people there who make music for funerals. And he saw a crowd of people crying loudly. Jesus said, “Go away. The girl is not dead. She is only sleeping.” But the people laughed at him. After the people were put out of the house, Jesus went into the girl’s room. He held the girl’s hand, and the girl stood up. The news about this spread all around the area.

Matthew 9:11-13
The Pharisees saw that Jesus was eating with these people. They asked his followers, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and other sinners?” Jesus heard them say this. So he said to them, “It is the sick people who need a doctor, not those who are healthy. You need to go and learn what this Scripture means: ‘I don’t want animal sacrifices; I want you to show kindness to people.’ I did not come to invite good people. I came to invite sinners.” (Matthew 9:11-13 ERV)
