Löydetty 192 Tulokset: Daniel in the lion's den
And they turned on the two elders whom Daniel had convicted of false evidence out of their own mouths. (Daniel 13, 61)
From that day onwards, Daniel's reputation stood high with the people. (Daniel 13, 64)
Daniel was very close to the king, who respected him more than any of his other friends. (Daniel 14, 2)
The king venerated this idol and used to go and worship it every day. Daniel, however, worshipped his own God. (Daniel 14, 4)
'Why do you not worship Bel?' the king asked Daniel. 'I do not worship idols made by human hand,' Daniel replied, 'I worship the living God who made heaven and earth and who is lord over all living creatures.' (Daniel 14, 5)
Daniel laughed. 'Your Majesty,' he said, 'do not be taken in; he is clay inside, and bronze outside, and has never eaten or drunk anything.' (Daniel 14, 7)
This made the king angry; he summoned his priests, 'Tell me who eats all this food,' he said, 'or die. Prove to me that Bel really eats it, and I will have Daniel put to death for blaspheming him.' (Daniel 14, 8)
Daniel said to the king, 'Let it be as you say.' (Daniel 14, 9)
There were seventy of these priests, to say nothing of their wives and children. The king went to the temple of Bel, taking Daniel with him. (Daniel 14, 10)
The priests of Bel said to him, 'We shall now go out, and you, Your Majesty, will lay out the meal and mix the wine and set it out. Then, lock the door and seal it with your personal seal. If, when you return in the morning, you do not find that everything has been eaten by Bel,let us be put to death; otherwise let Daniel, that slanderer!' (Daniel 14, 11)
Daniel made his servants bring ashes and spread them all over the temple floor, with no other witness than the king. They then left the building, shut the door and, sealing it with the king's seal, went away. (Daniel 14, 14)
The king was up very early next morning, and Daniel with him. (Daniel 14, 16)
