Begging

I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

A voice is heard on the barren heights, the children of Israel weeping and begging for mercy, because they have perverted their ways and forgotten the LORD their God.

Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

…they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Even some of Paul’s friends who were officials of the province of Asia sent word to him, begging him not to venture into the theatre.
