Of course the quite typical one:
"Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, 'Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?' They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, 'He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.' Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, 'Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?' She said, 'No one, Lord.' And Jesus said, 'I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.'" 
(John 8:1-11) I love all the stories about Jesus pretty much. I also really like:
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18) So are there any you think are particularly beautiful or that speak to you?

The one where Jesus admits that his powers are from being Jewish, and not being the son of god. That one comes shortly after the one where Jesus grows 50ft and crushes the roman empire

Hmmm, now that I think about it it all the times I've read good chunks of the bible I've never really found any parts that I liked that much. Genesis is an interesting read, at least up until a bit after Noah, but after that I can't say anything stands out well.

I like that one from I think Revelations, with something like "Love is the strongest of them all". Or something.

Psalms 23 and this: The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water, the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

I like the one about a merry heart healing like a medicene but a broken spirit leaving the bones dry
