Bible verses about "crying" | Moffatt

¹ Then I saw the new heaven and the new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and the sea is no more. ² And I saw the holy City, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, all ready like a bride arrayed for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, crying, "Lo, God's dwelling-place is with men, with men will he dwell; they shall be his people, and God will himself be with them: ⁴ he will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more — no more wailing or crying or pain, for the first things have passed away." ⁵ Then he who was seated on the throne said, "Lo, I make all things new." And he said, "Write this: 'these words are trustworthy and genuine.'" ⁶ Then he said, "All is over! I am the alpha and the omega, the First and the Last. I will let the thirsty drink of the fountain of the water of Life without price. ⁷ The conqueror shall obtain this, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son; ⁸ but as for the craven, the faithless, the abominable, as for murderers, the immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and liars of all kinds — their lot is the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." ⁹ Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues; and he spoke to me thus, "Come, and I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb." ¹⁰ So he carried me off, rapt in the Spirit, to a huge, high mountain, where he showed me the City, the holy Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, ¹¹ with the glory of God. The sheen of it resembled some rare jewel like jasper, clear as crystal; ¹² it has a huge, high wall with twelve gates, twelve angels at the twelve gates, and names inscribed thereon which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel, ¹³ three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. ¹⁴ And the wall of the City has twelve foundation-stones, bearing the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ He who talked to me had a golden wand by way of a measuring-rod, to measure the City and its gates and wall; ¹⁶ the City lies foursquare, the length the same as the breadth, and he measured fifteen hundred miles with his rod for the City, for its breadth and length and height alike; ¹⁷ he made the measure of the wall seventy-two yards, by human, that is, by angelic reckoning. ¹⁸ The material of the wall is jasper, but the City is made of pure gold, transparent like glass. ¹⁹ The foundation-stones of the city-wall are adorned with all sorts of precious stones, the first foundation-stone being of jasper, the second of sapphire, the third of agate, the fourth of emerald, ²⁰ the fifth of onyx, the sixth of sardius, the seventh of chrysolite, the eighth of beryl, the ninth of topaz, the tenth of chrysoprase, the eleventh of jacinth, the twelfth of amethyst. ²¹ The twelve gates are twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl; and the streets of the City are pure gold, clear as crystal. ²² But I saw no temple in the City, for its temple is the Lord God almighty and the Lamb. ²³ And the City needs no sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God illumines it, and the Lamb lights it up. ²⁴ By its light will the nations walk; and into it will the kings of earth bring their glories ²⁵ (the gates of it will never be shut by day, and night there shall be none), ²⁶ they will bring to it the glories and treasures of the nations. ²⁷ Nothing profane, none who practises abomination or falsehood shall enter, but those alone whose names are written in the Lamb's book of Life.

¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he felt pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep."

²⁶ Thus if one member suffers, all the members share its suffering; if one member is honoured, all the members share its honour.

¹ Let not your hearts be disquieted; you believe — believe in God and also in me. ² In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, would I have told you that I was going to prepare a place for you? ³ And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am. ⁴ And you know the way to where I am going." ⁵ "Lord," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going, and how are we to know the way?" ⁶ Jesus said to him, "I am the real and living way: no one comes to the Father except by means of me. ⁷ If you knew me, you would know my Father too. You know him now and you have seen him." ⁸ "Lord," said Philip, "let us see the Father; that is all we want." ⁹ Jesus said to him, "Philip, have I been with you all this time, and yet you do not understand me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. What do you mean by saying, 'Let us see the Father'? ¹⁰ Do you not believe I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak to you all I do not speak of my own accord; it is the Father who remains ever in me, who is performing his own deeds. ¹¹ Believe me, I am in the Father and the Father is in me: — or else, believe because of the deeds themselves. ¹² Truly, truly I tell you, he who believes in me will do the very deeds I do, and still greater deeds than these. For I am going to the Father, ¹³ and I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; ¹⁴ I will do whatever you ask me in my name. ¹⁵ If you love me you will keep my commands, ¹⁶ and I will ask the Father to give you another Helper to be with you for ever, ¹⁷ even the Spirit of truth: the world cannot receive him, because it neither sees nor knows him, but you know him, because he remains with you and will be within you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you forlorn; I am coming to you. ¹⁹ A little while longer and the world will see me no more; but you will see me, because I am living and you will be living too. ²⁰ You will understand, on that day, that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you. ²¹ He who possesses my commands and obeys them is he who loves me, and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and appear to him." ²² "Lord," said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), "why is it that you are to appear to us, and not to the world?" ²³ Jesus answered, "If anyone loves me he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up our abode with him. ²⁴ He who does not love me does not obey my word; and what you hear me say is not my word but the word of the Father who sent me. ²⁵ I have told you all this while I am still with you, ²⁶ but the Helper, the holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and recall to you everything I have said. ²⁷ Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you; I give it not as the world gives its 'Peace!' Let not your hearts be disquieted or timid. ²⁸ You heard me tell you I was going away and coming back to you; if you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father — for the Father is greater than I am. ²⁹ I tell you this now, before it occurs, so that, when it does occur, you may believe. ³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me; ³¹ his coming will only serve to let the world see that I love the Father and that I am acting as the Father ordered. Rise, let us be going."
