evidence that Jesus is who he claims to be. 16:3-4

perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?" 17:17

After much pleading, he finally agrees to cast out the devil. 7:27

Jesus accuses an entire generation (his contemporaries) of sinfulness and adultery.

meant by "cut off". The New Revised Standard Version translates this verse as: "I wish those who unsettle you would
castrate themselves!" 5:12

feet? Well, the feet of Christians, of course!) 3:9
The great whore has "committed fornication" with all the kings on earth.
Everyone else is "drunk with the wine of her fornication." She sits on a scarlet
colored beast with the usual 7 heads and 10 horns. She carries a cup full of the
"filthiness of her abominations" and has a big sign on her forehead saying:
"Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the
Earth." You'll know her when you see her. 17:1-5
