12: 17And he thought to himself (eautou), 'What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?'

12: 57"And why do you not judge for yourselves (eautou) what is right?
13: 19It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden of himself (eautou); it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."

14: 27Whoever does not carry the cross of himself (eautou) and follow me cannot be my disciple.
14: 33So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all the possessions of himself (eautou).
15: 17But when he came to himself (eautou) he said, 'How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger!

16: 3Then the manager said to himself (eautou), 'What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
16: 5So, summoning one by one the debtors of the master of himself (eautou), he asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'
16: 8And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with the generation of themselves (eautou) than are the children of light.
16: 9And I tell you, make friends for yourselves (eautou) by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes.
16: 15So he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves (eautou) in the sight of others; but God knows your hearts; for what is prized by human beings is an abomination in the sight of God.
17: 3Be yourselves (eautou) on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive.
17: 14When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves (eautou) to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean.
18: 4For a while he refused; but later he said to himself (eautou), 'Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone,
18: 9He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves (eautou) that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt:
18: 11The Pharisee, standing by himself (eautou), was praying thus, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
18: 14I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves (eautou) will be humbled, but all who humble themselves (eautou) will be exalted."
19: 12So he said, "A nobleman went to a distant country to get royal power for himself (eautou) and then return.
19: 13He summoned ten of the slaves of himself (eautou), and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, 'Do business with these until I come back.'
20: 5They discussed it with themselves (eautou), saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
20: 20So they watched him and sent spies who pretended themselves (eautou) to be honest, in order to trap him by what he said, so as to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor.
21: 30as soon as they sprout leaves you can see for yourselves (eautou) and know that summer is already near.
21: 34"Be yourselves (eautou) on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day does not catch you unexpectedly,
22: 17Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves (eautou);
22: 23Then they began to ask themselves (eautou) which one of them it could be who would do this.
23: 2They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding us to pay taxes to the emperor, and saying that he himself (eautou) is the Messiah, a king."
23: 28But Jesus turned to them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves (eautou) and for your children.
23: 35And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself (eautou) if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!"
24: 27Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself (eautou) in all the scriptures.

John

5: 18For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he was not only breaking the sabbath, but was also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself (eautou) equal to God.
5: 19Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself (eautou), but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.
5: 26For just as the Father has life in himself (eautou), so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself (eautou);
5: 42But I know that you do not have the love of God in yourselves (eautou).
6: 53So Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves (eautou).
6: 61But Jesus, knowing in himself (eautou) that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, "Does this offend you?
7: 18Those who speak by themselves (eautou) seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him.

8: 22Then the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself (eautou)? Is that what he means by saying, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"
9: 21but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself (eautou)."
11: 33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved in himself (eautou).
11: 38Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed in himself (eautou), came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
11: 51He did not say this by himself (eautou), but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

15: 4Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself (eautou) unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.
16: 13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak by himself (eautou), but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
17: 13But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves (eautou).
19: 7The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be himself (eautou) the Son of God."
19: 12From then on Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of the emperor. Everyone who claims to be a king sets himself (eautou) against the emperor."
19: 17and carrying the cross by himself (eautou), he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
19: 24So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see who will get it." This was to fulfill what the scripture says, "They divided my clothes among themselves (eautou), and for my clothing they cast lots."
21: 1After these things Jesus showed himself (eautou) again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed in this way.
21: 7That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and threw himself (eautou) into the sea.

12: 11Then Peter came to himself (eautou) and said, "Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hands of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."
13: 46Then both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken first to you. Since you reject it and judge yourselves (eautou) to be unworthy of eternal life, we are now turning to the Gentiles.
15: 29that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication. If you keep yourselves (eautou) from these, you will do well. Farewell."

21: 23So do what we tell you. We have four men having a vow upon themselves (eautou).
23: 12In the morning the Jews joined in a conspiracy and bound themselves (eautou) by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
23: 14They went to the chief priests and elders and said, "We have strictly bound ourselves (eautou) by an oath to taste no food until we have killed Paul.
23: 21But do not be persuaded by them, for more than forty of their men are lying in ambush for him. They have bound themselves (eautou) by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they kill him. They are ready now and are waiting for your consent."
