Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; read more A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. show less

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
