001:001 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham.

001:002 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
Judas and his brethren;

001:003 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat
Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

001:004 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and
Naasson begat Salmon;

001:005 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth;
and Obed begat Jesse;

001:006 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat
Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

001:007 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia
begat Asa;

001:008 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram
begat Ozias;

001:009 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz
begat Ezekias;

001:010 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon
begat Josias;

001:011 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time
they were carried away to Babylon:

001:012 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

001:013 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and
Eliakim begat Azor;

001:014 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat
Eliud;

001:015 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and
Matthan begat Jacob;

001:016 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born
Jesus, who is called Christ.

001:017 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen
generations; and from David until the carrying away into
Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away
into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

001:018 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his
mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together,
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

001:019 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to
make her a publick example, was minded to put her away
privily.

001:020 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the
LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that
which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

001:021 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

001:022 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

001:023 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a
son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us.

001:024 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

001:025 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:
and he called his name JESUS.

002:001 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of
Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to
Jerusalem,

002:002 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have
seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

002:003 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,
and all Jerusalem with him.

002:004 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of
the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should
be born.

002:005 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is
written by the prophet,

002:006 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least
among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a
Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

002:007 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired
of them diligently what time the star appeared.

002:008 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him,
bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

002:009 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the
star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it
came and stood over where the young child was.

002:010 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great
joy.

002:011 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto
him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

002:012 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return
to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

002:013 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou
there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
child to destroy him.

002:014 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
night, and departed into Egypt:

002:015 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Out of Egypt have I called my son.

002:016 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men,
was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children
that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from
two years old and under, according to the time which he had
diligently enquired of the wise men.

002:017 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
prophet, saying,

002:018 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and
great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not
be comforted, because they are not.

002:019 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

002:020 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go
into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the
young child's life.

002:021 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and
came into the land of Israel.

002:022 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the
room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither:
notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned
aside into the parts of Galilee:

002:023 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be
called a Nazarene.

003:001 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
wilderness of Judaea,

003:002 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

003:003 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye
the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

003:004 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and
wild honey.

003:005 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the
region round about Jordan,

003:006 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

003:007 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to
his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who
hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

003:009 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our
father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones
to raise up children unto Abraham.

003:010 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire.

003:011 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
with fire:

003:012 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn
up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

003:013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
baptized of him.

003:014 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of
thee, and comest thou to me?

003:015 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for
thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he
suffered him.

003:016 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of
the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting
upon him:

003:017 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.

004:001 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted of the devil.

004:002 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
afterward an hungred.

004:003 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son
of God, command that these stones be made bread.

004:004 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God.

004:005 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth
him on a pinnacle of the temple,

004:006 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge
concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

004:007 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God.

004:008 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and
the glory of them;

004:009 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou
wilt fall down and worship me.

004:010 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve.

004:011 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him.

004:012 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he
departed into Galilee;

004:013 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is
upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

004:014 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,

004:015 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of
the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

004:016 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them
which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung
up.

004:017 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

004:018 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into
the sea: for they were fishers.

004:019 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers
of men.

004:020 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

004:021 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee
their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

004:022 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and
followed him.

004:023 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among
the people.

004:024 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto
him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and
torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and
those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and
he healed them.

004:025 And there followed him great multitudes of people from
Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from
Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

005:001 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and
when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

005:002 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

005:003 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.

005:004 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

005:005 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

005:006 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be filled.

005:007 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

005:008 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

005:009 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of God.

005:010 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

005:011 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
sake.

005:012 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before
you.

005:013 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his
savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good
for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot
of men.

005:014 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid.

005:015 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but
on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the
house.

005:016 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

005:017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

005:018 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot
or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled.

005:019 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the
least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and
teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven.

005:020 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall
exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye
shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

005:021 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt
not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
judgment:

005:022 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger
of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be
in danger of hell fire.

005:023 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

005:024 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first
be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy
gift.

005:025 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way
with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the
judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be
cast into prison.

005:026 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out
thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

005:027 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not commit adultery:

005:028 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with her already in his
heart.

005:029 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be
cast into hell.

005:030 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be
cast into hell.

005:031 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him
give her a writing of divorcement:

005:032 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit
adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced
committeth adultery.

005:033 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old
time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto
the Lord thine oaths:

005:034 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for
it is God's throne:

005:035 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

005:036 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
make one hair white or black.

005:037 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for
whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

005:038 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth:

005:039 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other
also.

005:040 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy
coat, let him have thy cloak also.

005:041 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain.

005:042 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow
of thee turn not thou away.

005:043 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

005:044 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you;

005:045 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

005:046 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do
not even the publicans the same?

005:047 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than
others? do not even the publicans so?

005:048 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect.

006:001 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of
them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in
heaven.

006:002 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet
before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto
you, They have their reward.

006:003 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth:

006:004 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth
in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

006:005 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in
the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

006:006 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly.

006:007 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much
speaking.

006:008 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

006:009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

006:010 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven.

006:011 Give us this day our daily bread.

006:012 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

006:013 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.

006:014 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you:

006:015 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.

006:016 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward.

006:017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy
face;

006:018 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father
which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
shall reward thee openly.

006:019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

006:020 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal:

006:021 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

006:022 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

006:023 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great is that darkness!

006:024 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

006:025 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what
ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the
body than raiment?

006:026 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
them. Are ye not much better than they?

006:027 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature?

006:028 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

006:029 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these.

006:030 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to
day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much
more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

006:031 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

006:032 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

006:033 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.

006:034 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof.

007:001 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

007:002 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

007:003 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

007:004 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote
out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

007:005 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of
thy brother's eye.

007:006 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye
your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their
feet, and turn again and rend you.

007:007 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

007:008 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

007:009 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
he give him a stone?

007:010 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

007:011 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask him?

007:012 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
prophets.

007:013 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat:

007:014 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

007:015 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

007:016 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?

007:017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

007:018 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

007:019 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.

007:020 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

007:021 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven.

007:022 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?

007:023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity.

007:024 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house
upon a rock:

007:025 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was
founded upon a rock.

007:026 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
house upon the sand:

007:027 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the
fall of it.

007:028 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the
people were astonished at his doctrine:

007:029 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the
scribes.

008:001 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed him.

008:002 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

008:003 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will;
be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

008:004 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy
way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.

008:005 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him
a centurion, beseeching him,

008:006 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented.

008:007 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

008:008 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that
thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only,
and my servant shall be healed.

008:009 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and
I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and
he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

008:010 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that
followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel.

008:011 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and
west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven.

008:012 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

008:013 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou
hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was
healed in the selfsame hour.

008:014 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's
mother laid, and sick of a fever.

008:015 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she
arose, and ministered unto them.

008:016 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were
possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his
word, and healed all that were sick:

008:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses.

008:018 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
commandment to depart unto the other side.

008:019 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

008:020 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds
of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to
lay his head.

008:021 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me
first to go and bury my father.

008:022 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury
their dead.

008:023 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed
him.

008:024 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch
that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

008:025 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,
save us: we perish.

008:026 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little
faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and
there was a great calm.

008:027 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,
that even the winds and the sea obey him!

008:028 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the
Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming
out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass
by that way.

008:029 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment
us before the time?

008:030 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine
feeding.

008:031 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,
suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

008:032 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they
went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of
swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and
perished in the waters.

008:033 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the
city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the
possessed of the devils.

008:034 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when
they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of
their coasts.

009:001 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his
own city.

009:002 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy,
lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the
sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven
thee.

009:003 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves,
This man blasphemeth.

009:004 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil
in your hearts?

009:005 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or
to say, Arise, and walk?

009:006 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth
to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,)
Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

009:007 And he arose, and departed to his house.

009:008 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified
God, which had given such power unto men.

009:009 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named
Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto
him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

009:010 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house,
behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him
and his disciples.

009:011 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples,
Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

009:012 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be
whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

009:013 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.

009:014 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and
the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

009:015 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days
will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and
then shall they fast.

009:016 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for
that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment,
and the rent is made worse.

009:017 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles
break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but
they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

009:018 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a
certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even
now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall
live.

009:019 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

009:020 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of
blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of
his garment:

009:021 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I
shall be whole.

009:022 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.
And the woman was made whole from that hour.

009:023 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the
minstrels and the people making a noise,

009:024 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but
sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

009:025 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her
by the hand, and the maid arose.

009:026 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

009:027 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him,
crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

009:028 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to
him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to
do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

009:029 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be
it unto you.

009:030 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,
saying, See that no man know it.

009:031 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in
all that country.

009:032 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man
possessed with a devil.

009:033 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the
multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

009:034 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the
prince of the devils.

009:035 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in
their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

009:036 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion
on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as
sheep having no shepherd.

009:037 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is
plenteous, but the labourers are few;

009:038 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send
forth labourers into his harvest.

010:001 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave
them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to
heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

010:002 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first,
Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

010:003 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was
Thaddaeus;

010:004 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed
him.

010:005 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go
not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the
Samaritans enter ye not:

010:006 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

010:007 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
hand.

010:008 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

010:009 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

010:010 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

010:011 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

010:012 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

010:013 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but
if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

010:014 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when
ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of
your feet.

010:015 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land
of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that
city.

010:016 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be
ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

010:017 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

010:018 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my
sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

010:019 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye
shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what
ye shall speak.

010:020 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you.

010:021 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the
father the child: and the children shall rise up against their
parents, and cause them to be put to death.

010:022 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that endureth to the end shall be saved.

010:023 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into
another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone
over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

010:024 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above
his lord.

010:025 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and
the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the
house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his
household?

010:026 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

010:027 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what
ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

010:028 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy
both soul and body in hell.

010:029 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

010:030 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

010:031 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.

010:032 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

010:033 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven.

010:034 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
send peace, but a sword.

010:035 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and
the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law.

010:036 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

010:037 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of
me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not
worthy of me.

010:038 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is
not worthy of me.

010:039 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find it.

010:040 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me.

010:041 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall
receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous
man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous
man's reward.

010:042 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little
ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

011:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding
his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to
preach in their cities.

011:002 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he
sent two of his disciples,

011:003 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look
for another?

011:004 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again
those things which ye do hear and see:

011:005 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers
are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and
the poor have the gospel preached to them.

011:006 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

011:007 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes
concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?
A reed shaken with the wind?

011:008 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings'
houses.

011:009 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto
you, and more than a prophet.

011:010 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee.

011:011 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there
hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he.

011:012 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

011:013 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

011:014 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to
come.

011:015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

011:016 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto
children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their
fellows,

011:017 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we
have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

011:018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He
hath a devil.

011:019 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold
a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

011:020 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty
works were done, because they repented not:

011:021 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre
and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and
ashes.

011:022 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

011:023 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be
brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been
done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained
until this day.

011:024 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

011:025 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

011:026 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

011:027 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the
Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
him.

011:028 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest.

011:029 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

011:030 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

012:001 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn;
and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears
of corn and to eat.

012:002 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath
day.

012:003 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when
he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

012:004 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for
them which were with him, but only for the priests?

012:005 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days
the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are
blameless?

012:006 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
temple.

012:007 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

012:008 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

012:009 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

012:010 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And
they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath
days? that they might accuse him.

012:011 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that
shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath
day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

012:012 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is
lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

012:013 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he
stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the
other.

012:014 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him,
how they might destroy him.

012:015 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and
great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

012:016 And charged them that they should not make him known:

012:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,

012:018 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my
soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he
shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

012:019 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his
voice in the streets.

012:020 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he
not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

012:021 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

012:022 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind,
and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb
both spake and saw.

012:023 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son
of David?

012:024 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth
not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the
devils.

012:025 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and
every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

012:026 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself;
how shall then his kingdom stand?

012:027 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

012:028 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the
kingdom of God is come unto you.

012:029 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil
his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he
will spoil his house.

012:030 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth abroad.

012:031 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy
Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

012:032 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall
be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the world to come.

012:033 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make
the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known
by his fruit.

012:034 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good
things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.

012:035 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth
forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure
bringeth forth evil things.

012:036 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

012:037 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned.

012:038 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

012:039 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous
generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be
given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

012:040 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth.

012:041 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the
preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

012:042 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the
uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

012:043 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

012:044 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came
out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and
garnished.

012:045 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits
more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there:
and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even
so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

012:046 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his
brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

012:047 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren
stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

012:048 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my
mother? and who are my brethren?

012:049 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

012:050 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

013:001 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea
side.

013:002 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that
he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on
the shore.

013:003 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

013:004 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the
fowls came and devoured them up:

013:005 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of
earth:

013:006 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they
had no root, they withered away.

013:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
choked them:

013:008 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some
an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

013:009 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

013:010 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou
unto them in parables?

013:011 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you
to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
is not given.

013:012 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have
more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be
taken away even that he hath.

013:013 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see
not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

013:014 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith,
By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing
ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

013:015 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are
dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any
time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
and should understand with their heart, and should be
converted, and I should heal them.

013:016 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for
they hear.

013:017 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous
men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have
not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and
have not heard them.

013:018 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

013:019 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth
away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which
received seed by the way side.

013:020 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is
he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

013:021 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for
when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word,
by and by he is offended.

013:022 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth
the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of
riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

013:023 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that
heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth
fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty,
some thirty.

013:024 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his
field:

013:025 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the
wheat, and went his way.

013:026 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
then appeared the tares also.

013:027 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,
Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence
then hath it tares?

013:028 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said
unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

013:029 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root
up also the wheat with them.

013:030 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of
harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first
the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather
the wheat into my barn.

013:031 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,
and sowed in his field:

013:032 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown,
it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that
the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

013:033 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is
like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

013:034 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;
and without a parable spake he not unto them:

013:035 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things
which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

013:036 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:
and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the
parable of the tares of the field.

013:037 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed
is the Son of man;

013:038 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the
kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

013:039 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end
of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

013:040 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so
shall it be in the end of this world.

013:041 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall
gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them
which do iniquity;

013:042 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.

013:043 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

013:044 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a
field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy
thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that
field.

013:045 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,
seeking goodly pearls:

013:046 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold
all that he had, and bought it.

013:047 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast
into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

013:048 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

013:049 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come
forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

013:050 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.

013:051 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

013:052 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is
instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that
is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure
things new and old.

013:053 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
parables, he departed thence.

013:054 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in
their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said,
Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

013:055 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called
Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
Judas?

013:056 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath
this man all these things?

013:057 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A
prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in
his own house.

013:058 And he did not many mighty works there because of their
unbelief.

014:001 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

014:002 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is
risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth
themselves in him.

014:003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in
prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

014:004 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

014:005 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the
multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

014:006 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias
danced before them, and pleased Herod.

014:007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
would ask.

014:008 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me
here John Baptist's head in a charger.

014:009 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and
them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given
her.

014:010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

014:011 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the
damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

014:012 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it,
and went and told Jesus.

014:013 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a
desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof,
they followed him on foot out of the cities.

014:014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

014:015 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,
This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the
multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy
themselves victuals.

014:016 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them
to eat.

014:017 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
fishes.

014:018 He said, Bring them hither to me.

014:019 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and
took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to
heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his
disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

014:020 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

014:021 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside
women and children.

014:022 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a
ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent
the multitudes away.

014:023 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a
mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was
there alone.

014:024 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary.

014:025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea.

014:026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

014:027 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

014:028 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto thee on the water.

014:029 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

014:030 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

014:031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught
him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore
didst thou doubt?

014:032 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

014:033 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

014:034 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret.

014:035 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent
out into all that country round about, and brought unto him
all that were diseased;

014:036 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

015:001 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
Jerusalem, saying,

015:002 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

015:003 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress
the commandment of God by your tradition?

015:004 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and,
He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

015:005 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother,
It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

015:006 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by
your tradition.

015:007 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

015:008 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

015:009 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.

015:010 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
understand:

015:011 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that
which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

015:012 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that
the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

015:013 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

015:014 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

015:015 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this
parable.

015:016 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

015:017 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the
mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

015:018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth
from the heart; and they defile the man.

015:019 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

015:020 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with
unwashen hands defileth not a man.

015:021 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre
and Sidon.

015:022 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts,
and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son
of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

015:023 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

015:024 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.

015:025 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

015:026 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

015:027 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters' table.

015:028 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy
faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was
made whole from that very hour.

015:029 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of
Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

015:030 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those
that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast
them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

015:031 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb
to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the
blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

015:032 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have
compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now
three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them
away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

015:033 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much
bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

015:034 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they
said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

015:035 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

015:036 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks,
and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples
to the multitude.

015:037 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

015:038 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and
children.

015:039 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into
the coasts of Magdala.

016:001 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting
desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

016:002 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It
will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

016:003 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the
sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the
face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the
times?

016:004 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and
there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the
prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

016:005 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had
forgotten to take bread.

016:006 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

016:007 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we
have taken no bread.

016:008 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little
faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought
no bread?

016:009 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of
the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

016:010 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many
baskets ye took up?

016:011 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you
concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

016:012 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the
leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of
the Sadducees.

016:013 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked
his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man
am?

016:014 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some,
Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

016:015 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

016:016 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God.

016:017 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
but my Father which is in heaven.

016:018 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.

016:019 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven.

016:020 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man
that he was Jesus the Christ.

016:021 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples,
how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of
the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and
be raised again the third day.

016:022 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it
far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

016:023 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan:
thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things
that be of God, but those that be of men.

016:024 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me.

016:025 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

016:026 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange
for his soul?

016:027 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with
his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to
his works.

016:028 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming
in his kingdom.

017:001 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

017:002 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

017:003 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking
with him.

017:004 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for
us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three
tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for
Elias.

017:005 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

017:006 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and
were sore afraid.

017:007 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not
afraid.

017:008 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save
Jesus only.

017:009 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be
risen again from the dead.

017:010 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elias must first come?

017:011 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first
come, and restore all things.

017:012 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew
him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.
Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

017:013 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John
the Baptist.

017:014 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a
certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

017:015 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore
vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the
water.

017:016 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure
him.

017:017 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I
suffer you? bring him hither to me.

017:018 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and
the child was cured from that very hour.

017:019 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could
not we cast him out?

017:020 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily
I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

017:021 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

017:022 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son
of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

017:023 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised
again. And they were exceeding sorry.

017:024 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received
tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master
pay tribute?

017:025 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus
prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do
the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own
children, or of strangers?

017:026 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then
are the children free.

017:027 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the
sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh
up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a
piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

018:001 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is
the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

018:002 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the
midst of them,

018:003 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and
become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom
of heaven.

018:004 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

018:005 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
receiveth me.

018:006 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe
in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged
about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the
sea.

018:007 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be
that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence
cometh!

018:008 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off,
and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into
life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet
to be cast into everlasting fire.

018:009 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from
thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye,
rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

018:010 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I
say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the
face of my Father which is in heaven.

018:011 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

018:012 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them
be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and
goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone
astray?

018:013 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he
rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine
which went not astray.

018:014 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven,
that one of these little ones should perish.

018:015 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and
tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall
hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

018:016 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two
more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word
may be established.

018:017 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church:
but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as
an heathen man and a publican.

018:018 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall
be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.

018:019 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth
as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done
for them of my Father which is in heaven.

018:020 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there
am I in the midst of them.

018:021 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

018:022 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times:
but, Until seventy times seven.

018:023 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain
king, which would take account of his servants.

018:024 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents.

018:025 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to
be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and
payment to be made.

018:026 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

018:027 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

018:028 But the same servant went out, and found one of his
fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid
hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that
thou owest.

018:029 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him,
saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

018:030 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he
should pay the debt.

018:031 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very
sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

018:032 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O
thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because
thou desiredst me:

018:033 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

018:034 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,
till he should pay all that was due unto him.

018:035 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye
from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their
trespasses.

019:001 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of
Judaea beyond Jordan;

019:002 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

019:003 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying
unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for
every cause?

019:004 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he
which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

019:005 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother,
and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one
flesh?

019:006 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

019:007 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

019:008 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so.

019:009 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
adultery.

019:010 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with
his wife, it is not good to marry.

019:011 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
save they to whom it is given.

019:012 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their
mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made
eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that
is able to receive it, let him receive it.

019:013 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he
should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples
rebuked them.

019:014 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not,
to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

019:015 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

019:016 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what
good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

019:017 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none
good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life,
keep the commandments.

019:018 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou
shalt not bear false witness,

019:019 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.

019:020 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept
from my youth up: what lack I yet?

019:021 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven: and come and follow me.

019:022 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

019:023 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

019:024 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into
the kingdom of God.

019:025 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, Who then can be saved?

019:026 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are possible.

019:027 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

019:028 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which
have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man
shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon
twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

019:029 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall
inherit everlasting life.

019:030 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be
first.

020:001 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an
householder, which went out early in the morning to hire
labourers into his vineyard.

020:002 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,
he sent them into his vineyard.

020:003 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace,

020:004 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

020:005 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
likewise.

020:006 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others
standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the
day idle?

020:007 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto
them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right,
that shall ye receive.

020:008 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire,
beginning from the last unto the first.

020:009 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny.

020:010 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have
received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

020:011 And when they had received it, they murmured against the
goodman of the house,

020:012 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast
made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat
of the day.

020:013 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

020:014 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this
last, even as unto thee.

020:015 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is
thine eye evil, because I am good?

020:016 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be
called, but few chosen.

020:017 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
apart in the way, and said unto them,

020:018 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they
shall condemn him to death,

020:019 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge,
and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

020:020 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her
sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

020:021 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him,
Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right
hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

020:022 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye
able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say
unto him, We are able.

020:023 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to
sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but
it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my
Father.

020:024 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation
against the two brethren.

020:025 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the
princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they
that are great exercise authority upon them.

020:026 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great
among you, let him be your minister;

020:027 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant:

020:028 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

020:029 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed
him.

020:030 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they
heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on
us, O Lord, thou son of David.

020:031 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their
peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O
Lord, thou son of David.

020:032 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye
that I shall do unto you?

020:033 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

020:034 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

021:001 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
disciples,

021:002 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and
straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her:
loose them, and bring them unto me.

021:003 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath
need of them; and straightway he will send them.

021:004 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying,

021:005 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto
thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an
ass.

021:006 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

021:007 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon.

021:008 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in
the way.

021:009 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

021:010 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
saying, Who is this?

021:011 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
of Galilee.

021:012 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables
of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

021:013 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called
the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

021:014 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
healed them.

021:015 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful
things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and
saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore
displeased,

021:016 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus
saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of
babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

021:017 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and
he lodged there.

021:018 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

021:019 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and
found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let
no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the
fig tree withered away.

021:020 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away!

021:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If
ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which
is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it
shall be done.

021:022 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing,
ye shall receive.

021:023 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and
the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and
said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave
thee this authority?

021:024 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one
thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by
what authority I do these things.

021:025 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe
him?

021:026 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold
John as a prophet.

021:027 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said
unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
things.

021:028 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to
the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

021:029 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
and went.

021:030 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered
and said, I go, sir: and went not.

021:031 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say
unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto
you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of
God before you.

021:032 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye
believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed
him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that
ye might believe him.

021:033 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a
winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country:

021:034 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants
to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

021:035 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
another, and stoned another.

021:036 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they
did unto them likewise.

021:037 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
reverence my son.

021:038 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let
us seize on his inheritance.

021:039 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
slew him.

021:040 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he
do unto those husbandmen?

021:041 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men,
and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which
shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

021:042 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the
head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is
marvellous in our eyes?

021:043 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof.

021:044 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

021:045 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

021:046 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

022:001 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and
said,

022:002 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made
a marriage for his son,

022:003 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to
the wedding: and they would not come.

022:004 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which
are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my
fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the
marriage.

022:005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his
farm, another to his merchandise:

022:006 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them
spitefully, and slew them.

022:007 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent
forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up
their city.

022:008 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
which were bidden were not worthy.

022:009 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall
find, bid to the marriage.

022:010 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered
together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the
wedding was furnished with guests.

022:011 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a
man which had not on a wedding garment:

022:012 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not
having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

022:013 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot,
and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

022:014 For many are called, but few are chosen.

022:015 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might
entangle him in his talk.

022:016 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the
way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou
regardest not the person of men.

022:017 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give
tribute unto Caesar, or not?

022:018 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye
me, ye hypocrites?

022:019 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

022:020 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription?

022:021 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render
therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto
God the things that are God's.

022:022 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him,
and went their way.

022:023 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there
is no resurrection, and asked him,

022:024 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children,
his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his
brother.

022:025 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he
had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his
wife unto his brother:

022:026 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

022:027 And last of all the woman died also.

022:028 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the
seven? for they all had her.

022:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God.

022:030 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

022:031 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read
that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

022:032 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

022:033 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his
doctrine.

022:034 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees
to silence, they were gathered together.

022:035 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
tempting him, and saying,

022:036 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

022:037 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

022:038 This is the first and great commandment.

022:039 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.

022:040 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

022:041 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

022:042 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
unto him, The son of David.

022:043 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him
Lord, saying,

022:044 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I
make thine enemies thy footstool?

022:045 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

022:046 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

023:001 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

023:002 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

023:003 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe
and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do
not.

023:004 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay
them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move
them with one of their fingers.

023:005 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make
broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their
garments,

023:006 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in
the synagogues,

023:007 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi,
Rabbi.

023:008 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
Christ; and all ye are brethren.

023:009 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
Father, which is in heaven.

023:010 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even
Christ.

023:011 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

023:012 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.

023:013 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go
in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go
in.

023:014 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore
ye shall receive the greater damnation.

023:015 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is
made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
yourselves.

023:016 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall
swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear
by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

023:017 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the
temple that sanctifieth the gold?

023:018 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

023:019 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the
altar that sanctifieth the gift?

023:020 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and
by all things thereon.

023:021 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by
him that dwelleth therein.

023:022 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of
God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

023:023 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay
tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the
weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
undone.

023:024 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

023:025 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make
clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within
they are full of extortion and excess.

023:026 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the
cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

023:027 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness.

023:028 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

023:029 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye
build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of
the righteous,

023:030 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would
not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
prophets.

023:031 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
children of them which killed the prophets.

023:032 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

023:033 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell?

023:034 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and
scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some
of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
them from city to city:

023:035 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of
Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
and the altar.

023:036 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this
generation.

023:037 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have
gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

023:038 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

023:039 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye
shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

024:001 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his
disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the
temple.

024:002 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily
I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon
another, that shall not be thrown down.

024:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came
unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end
of the world?

024:004 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you.

024:005 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.

024:006 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be
not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the
end is not yet.

024:007 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places.

024:008 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

024:009 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

024:010 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.

024:011 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

024:012 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold.

024:013 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.

024:014 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end
come.

024:015 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:)

024:016 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

024:017 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
thing out of his house:

024:018 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
clothes.

024:019 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!

024:020 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on
the sabbath day:

024:021 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

024:022 And except those days should be shortened, there should no
flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened.

024:023 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not.

024:024 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

024:025 Behold, I have told you before.

024:026 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
believe it not.

024:027 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

024:028 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
gathered together.

024:029 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens
shall be shaken:

024:030 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.

024:031 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.

024:032 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

024:033 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that
it is near, even at the doors.

024:034 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.

024:035 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass
away.

024:036 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only.

024:037 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.

024:038 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark,

024:039 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

024:040 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
the other left.

024:041 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.

024:042 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
come.

024:043 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in
what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and
would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

024:044 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh.

024:045 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath
made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
season?

024:046 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing.

024:047 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all
his goods.

024:048 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his coming;

024:049 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and
drink with the drunken;

024:050 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh
not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

024:051 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with
the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

025:001 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

025:002 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

025:003 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
them:

025:004 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

025:005 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

025:006 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.

025:007 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

025:008 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for
our lamps are gone out.

025:009 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not
enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and
buy for yourselves.

025:010 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that
were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was
shut.

025:011 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,
open to us.

025:012 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you
not.

025:013 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.

025:014 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far
country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them
his goods.

025:015 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man according to his several ability;
and straightway took his journey.

025:016 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded
with the same, and made them other five talents.

025:017 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other
two.

025:018 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and
hid his lord's money.

025:019 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
reckoneth with them.

025:020 And so he that had received five talents came and brought
other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me
five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents
more.

025:021 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will
make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord.

025:022 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained
two other talents beside them.

025:023 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

025:024 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord,
I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast
not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

025:025 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth:
lo, there thou hast that is thine.

025:026 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful
servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and
gather where I have not strawed:

025:027 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine
own with usury.

025:028 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which
hath ten talents.

025:029 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have
abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even
that which he hath.

025:030 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

025:031 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory:

025:032 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his
sheep from the goats:

025:033 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
the left.

025:034 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world:

025:035 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and
ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

025:036 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was
in prison, and ye came unto me.

025:037 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee
drink?

025:038 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
clothed thee?

025:039 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

025:040 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

025:041 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from
me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil
and his angels:

025:042 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty,
and ye gave me no drink:

025:043 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed
me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

025:044 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick,
or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

025:045 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did
it not to me.

025:046 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.

026:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
sayings, he said unto his disciples,

026:002 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and
the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

026:003 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,
and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high
priest, who was called Caiaphas,

026:004 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill
him.

026:005 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
among the people.

026:006 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
leper,

026:007 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very
precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at
meat.

026:008 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying,
To what purpose is this waste?

026:009 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to
the poor.

026:010 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye
the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

026:011 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not
always.

026:012 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did
it for my burial.

026:013 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this
woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

026:014 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the
chief priests,

026:015 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver
him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces
of silver.

026:016 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

026:017 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that
we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

026:018 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him,
The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover
at thy house with my disciples.

026:019 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they
made ready the passover.

026:020 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

026:021 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one
of you shall betray me.

026:022 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them
to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

026:023 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in
the dish, the same shall betray me.

026:024 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto
that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good
for that man if he had not been born.

026:025 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is
it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

026:026 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and
brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat;
this is my body.

026:027 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,
saying, Drink ye all of it;

026:028 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.

026:029 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit
of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my
Father's kingdom.

026:030 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount
of Olives.

026:031 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because
of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the
shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered
abroad.

026:032 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

026:033 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be
offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

026:034 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night,
before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

026:035 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I
not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

026:036 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,
and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray
yonder.

026:037 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and
began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

026:038 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even
unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

026:039 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

026:040 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and
saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

026:041 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit
indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

026:042 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my
Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink
it, thy will be done.

026:043 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were
heavy.

026:044 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third
time, saying the same words.

026:045 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on
now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the
Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

026:046 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray
me.

026:047 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came,
and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from
the chief priests and elders of the people.

026:048 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever
I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

026:049 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and
kissed him.

026:050 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then
came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

026:051 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out
his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high
priest's, and smote off his ear.

026:052 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the
sword.

026:053 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

026:054 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it
must be?

026:055 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come
out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me?
I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
hold on me.

026:056 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets
might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and
fled.

026:057 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembled.

026:058 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace,
and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

026:059 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought
false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

026:060 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet
found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

026:061 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of
God, and to build it in three days.

026:062 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou
nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

026:063 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and
said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell
us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

026:064 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto
you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the
right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

026:065 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now
ye have heard his blasphemy.

026:066 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

026:067 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others
smote him with the palms of their hands,

026:068 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote
thee?

026:069 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto
him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

026:070 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou
sayest.

026:071 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him,
and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with
Jesus of Nazareth.

026:072 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

026:073 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said
to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech
bewrayeth thee.

026:074 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the
man. And immediately the cock crew.

026:075 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went
out, and wept bitterly.

027:001 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of
the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

027:002 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered
him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

027:003 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was
condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

027:004 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

027:005 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and
departed, and went and hanged himself.

027:006 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is
not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is
the price of blood.

027:007 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's
field, to bury strangers in.

027:008 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this
day.

027:009 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of
Israel did value;

027:010 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed
me.

027:011 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked
him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said
unto him, Thou sayest.

027:012 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he
answered nothing.

027:013 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things
they witness against thee?

027:014 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
governor marvelled greatly.

027:015 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the
people a prisoner, whom they would.

027:016 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

027:017 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto
them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus
which is called Christ?

027:018 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

027:019 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto
him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I
have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

027:020 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that
they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

027:021 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain
will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

027:022 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which
is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

027:023 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they
cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

027:024 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather
a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before
the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just
person: see ye to it.

027:025 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us,
and on our children.

027:026 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged
Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

027:027 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

027:028 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

027:029 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon
his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the
knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the
Jews!

027:030 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on
the head.

027:031 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off
from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to
crucify him.

027:032 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by
name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

027:033 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is
to say, a place of a skull,

027:034 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he
had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

027:035 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did
they cast lots.

027:036 And sitting down they watched him there;

027:037 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS
THE KING OF THE JEWS.

027:038 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
right hand, and another on the left.

027:039 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

027:040 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it
in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come
down from the cross.

027:041 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes
and elders, said,

027:042 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of
Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will
believe him.

027:043 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have
him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

027:044 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same
in his teeth.

027:045 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land
unto the ninth hour.

027:046 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken me?

027:047 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said,
This man calleth for Elias.

027:048 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled
it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

027:049 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to
save him.

027:050 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up
the ghost.

027:051 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks
rent;

027:052 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose,

027:053 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

027:054 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching
Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done,
they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

027:055 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed
Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

027:056 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

027:057 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

027:058 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
commanded the body to be delivered.

027:059 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean
linen cloth,

027:060 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the
rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the
sepulchre, and departed.

027:061 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over
against the sepulchre.

027:062 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

027:063 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was
yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

027:064 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the
third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him
away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so
the last error shall be worse than the first.

027:065 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it
as sure as ye can.

027:066 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone,
and setting a watch.

028:001 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the
first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
to see the sepulchre.

028:002 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of
the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the
stone from the door, and sat upon it.

028:003 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
snow:

028:004 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead
men.

028:005 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:
for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

028:006 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
place where the Lord lay.

028:007 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from
the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there
shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

028:008 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and
great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

028:009 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met
them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the
feet, and worshipped him.

028:010 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren
that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

028:011 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into
the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things
that were done.

028:012 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken
counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

028:013 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him
away while we slept.

028:014 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him,
and secure you.

028:015 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this
saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

028:016 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a
mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

028:017 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

028:018 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth.

028:019 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

028:020 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end
of the world. Amen.

Book 41 Mark

001:001 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

001:002 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

001:003 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make his paths straight.

001:004 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.

001:005 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they
of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of
Jordan, confessing their sins.

001:006 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a
skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

001:007 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after
me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down
and unloose.

001:008 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost.

001:009 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from
Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

001:010 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens
opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

001:011 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

001:012 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

001:013 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of
Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered
unto him.

001:014 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into
Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

001:015 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is
at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

001:016 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and
Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were
fishers.

001:017 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make
you to become fishers of men.

001:018 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

001:019 And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the
ship mending their nets.

001:020 And straightway he called them: and they left their father
Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after
him.

001:021 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath
day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

001:022 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them
as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

001:023 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;
and he cried out,

001:024 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus
of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou
art, the Holy One of God.

001:025 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
him.

001:026 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a
loud voice, he came out of him.

001:027 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among
themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is
this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean
spirits, and they do obey him.

001:028 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the
region round about Galilee.

001:029 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they
entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and
John.

001:030 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they
tell him of her.

001:031 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and
immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

001:032 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all
that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

001:033 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

001:034 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast
out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because
they knew him.

001:035 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he
went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there
prayed.

001:036 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

001:037 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek
for thee.

001:038 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I
may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

001:039 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee,
and cast out devils.

001:040 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling
down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst
make me clean.

001:041 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and
touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

001:042 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed
from him, and he was cleansed.

001:043 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

001:044 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go
thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy
cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony
unto them.

001:045 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze
abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly
enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and
they came to him from every quarter.

002:001 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it
was noised that he was in the house.

002:002 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that
there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about
the door: and he preached the word unto them.

002:003 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which
was borne of four.

002:004 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they
uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it
up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

002:005 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the
palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

002:006 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and
reasoning in their hearts,

002:007 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins
but God only?

002:008 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they
so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason
ye these things in your hearts?

002:009 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins
be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and
walk?

002:010 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth
to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

002:011 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way
into thine house.

002:012 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth
before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and
glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

002:013 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude
resorted unto him, and he taught them.

002:014 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting
at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he
arose and followed him.

002:015 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house,
many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and
his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

002:016 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans
and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he
eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

002:017 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole
have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came
not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

002:018 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast:
and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John
and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

002:019 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have
the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

002:020 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

002:021 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment:
else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old,
and the rent is made worse.

002:022 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new
wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the
bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new
bottles.

002:023 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on
the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to
pluck the ears of corn.

002:024 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the
sabbath day that which is not lawful?

002:025 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when
he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with
him?

002:026 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the
high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to
eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with
him?

002:027 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not
man for the sabbath:

002:028 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

003:001 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man
there which had a withered hand.

003:002 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath
day; that they might accuse him.

003:003 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand
forth.

003:004 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held
their peace.

003:005 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being
grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the
man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and
his hand was restored whole as the other.

003:006 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel
with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

003:007 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and
a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

003:008 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan;
and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they
had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

003:009 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait
on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

003:010 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him
for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

003:011 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him,
and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

003:012 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him
known.

003:013 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he
would: and they came unto him.

003:014 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that
he might send them forth to preach,

003:015 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

003:016 And Simon he surnamed Peter;

003:017 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James;
and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

003:018 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and
Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and
Simon the Canaanite,

003:019 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went
into an house.

003:020 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could
not so much as eat bread.

003:021 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on
him: for they said, He is beside himself.

003:022 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath
Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out
devils.

003:023 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables,
How can Satan cast out Satan?

003:024 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom
cannot stand.

003:025 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot
stand.

003:026 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he
cannot stand, but hath an end.

003:027 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his
goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he
will spoil his house.

003:028 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the
sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall
blaspheme:

003:029 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

003:030 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

003:031 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing
without, sent unto him, calling him.

003:032 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him,
Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

003:033 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my
brethren?

003:034 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and
said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

003:035 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my
brother, and my sister, and mother.

004:001 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was
gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a
ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the
sea on the land.

004:002 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them
in his doctrine,

004:003 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

004:004 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side,
and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

004:005 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth;
and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of
earth:

004:006 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had
no root, it withered away.

004:007 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked
it, and it yielded no fruit.

004:008 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang
up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some
sixty, and some an hundred.

004:009 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear.

004:010 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the
twelve asked of him the parable.

004:011 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the
mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without,
all these things are done in parables:

004:012 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they
may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be
converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

004:013 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then
will ye know all parables?

004:014 The sower soweth the word.

004:015 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown;
but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh
away the word that was sown in their hearts.

004:016 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground;
who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it
with gladness;

004:017 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time:
afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the
word's sake, immediately they are offended.

004:018 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear
the word,

004:019 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and
it becometh unfruitful.

004:020 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear
the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some
thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

004:021 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a
bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

004:022 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come
abroad.

004:023 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

004:024 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you
that hear shall more be given.

004:025 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not,
from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

004:026 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast
seed into the ground;

004:027 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should
spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

004:028 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the
blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

004:029 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in
the sickle, because the harvest is come.

004:030 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or
with what comparison shall we compare it?

004:031 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in
the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

004:032 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than
all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls
of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

004:033 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as
they were able to hear it.

004:034 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they
were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

004:035 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them,
Let us pass over unto the other side.

004:036 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even
as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other
little ships.

004:037 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into
the ship, so that it was now full.

004:038 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:
and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not
that we perish?

004:039 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great
calm.

004:040 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that
ye have no faith?

004:041 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What
manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey
him?

005:001 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the
country of the Gadarenes.

005:002 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met
him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

005:003 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind
him, no, not with chains:

005:004 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains,
and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the
fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

005:005 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the
tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

005:006 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

005:007 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by
God, that thou torment me not.

005:008 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean
spirit.

005:009 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying,
My name is Legion: for we are many.

005:010 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out
of the country.

005:011 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of
swine feeding.

005:012 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the
swine, that we may enter into them.

005:013 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits
went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran
violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about
two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

005:014 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and
in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was
done.

005:015 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with
the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in
his right mind: and they were afraid.

005:016 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was
possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

005:017 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

005:018 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed
with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

005:019 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to
thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done
for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

005:020 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great
things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

005:021 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other
side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the
sea.

005:022 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue,
Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

005:023 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at
the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on
her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

005:024 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and
thronged him.

005:025 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

005:026 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent
all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew
worse,

005:027 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and
touched his garment.

005:028 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be
whole.

005:029 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and
she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

005:030 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone
out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who
touched my clothes?

005:031 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude
thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

005:032 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

005:033 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in
her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the
truth.

005:034 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

005:035 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the
synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead:
why troublest thou the Master any further?

005:036 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto
the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

005:037 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James,
and John the brother of James.

005:038 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and
seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

005:039 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this
ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

005:040 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all
out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and
them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was
lying.

005:041 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha
cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee,
arise.

005:042 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of
the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great
astonishment.

005:043 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and
commanded that something should be given her to eat.

006:001 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country;
and his disciples follow him.

006:002 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the
synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From
whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this
which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are
wrought by his hands?

006:003 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of
James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his
sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

006:004 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour,
but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own
house.

006:005 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his
hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

006:006 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round
about the villages, teaching.

006:007 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them
forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean
spirits;

006:008 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their
journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in
their purse:

006:009 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

006:010 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an
house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

006:011 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye
depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a
testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be
more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment,
than for that city.

006:012 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

006:013 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that
were sick, and healed them.

006:014 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:)
and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead,
and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

006:015 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a
prophet, or as one of the prophets.

006:016 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I
beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

006:017 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and
bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's
wife: for he had married her.

006:018 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to
have thy brother's wife.

006:019 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have
killed him; but she could not:

006:020 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an
holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many
things, and heard him gladly.

006:021 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday
made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates
of Galilee;

006:022 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and
danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king
said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I
will give it thee.

006:023 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will
give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

006:024 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I
ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

006:025 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and
asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger
the head of John the Baptist.

006:026 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and
for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

006:027 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded
his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the
prison,

006:028 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel:
and the damsel gave it to her mother.

006:029 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his
corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

006:030 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and
told him all things, both what they had done, and what they
had taught.

006:031 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert
place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going,
and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

006:032 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

006:033 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran
afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came
together unto him.

006:034 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved
with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not
having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

006:035 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto
him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far
passed:

006:036 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about,
and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have
nothing to eat.

006:037 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they
say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of
bread, and give them to eat?

006:038 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And
when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

006:039 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon
the green grass.

006:040 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

006:041 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he
looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and
gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two
fishes divided he among them all.

006:042 And they did all eat, and were filled.

006:043 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of
the fishes.

006:044 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand
men.

006:045 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the
ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while
he sent away the people.

006:046 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to
pray.

006:047 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea,
and he alone on the land.

006:048 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary
unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh
unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by
them.

006:049 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it
had been a spirit, and cried out:

006:050 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he
talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is
I; be not afraid.

006:051 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased:
and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and
wondered.

006:052 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their
heart was hardened.

006:053 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

006:054 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew
him,

006:055 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to
carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he
was.

006:056 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or
country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him
that they might touch if it were but the border of his
garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

007:001 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the
scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

007:002 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with
defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found
fault.

007:003 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their
hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

007:004 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat
not. And many other things there be, which they have received
to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and
of tables.

007:005 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy
disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
bread with unwashen hands?

007:006 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of
you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me
with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

007:007 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.

007:008 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition
of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such
like things ye do.

007:009 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of
God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

007:010 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso
curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

007:011 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is
Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be
profited by me; he shall be free.

007:012 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his
mother;

007:013 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition,
which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

007:014 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto
them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

007:015 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him
can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those
are they that defile the man.

007:016 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

007:017 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his
disciples asked him concerning the parable.

007:018 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also?
Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without
entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

007:019 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly,
and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

007:020 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth
the man.

007:021 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil
thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

007:022 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

007:023 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

007:024 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre
and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man
know it: but he could not be hid.

007:025 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean
spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

007:026 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she
besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her
daughter.

007:027 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for
it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it
unto the dogs.

007:028 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs
under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

007:029 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is
gone out of thy daughter.

007:030 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone
out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

007:031 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he
came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts
of Decapolis.

007:032 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an
impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand
upon him.

007:033 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers
into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

007:034 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,
Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

007:035 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his
tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

007:036 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more
he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published
it;

007:037 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all
things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to
speak.

008:001 In those days the multitude being very great, and having
nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith
unto them,

008:002 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been
with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

008:003 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will
faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

008:004 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy
these men with bread here in the wilderness?

008:005 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said,
Seven.

008:006 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he
took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to
his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before
the people.

008:007 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded
to set them also before them.

008:008 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
broken meat that was left seven baskets.

008:009 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent
them away.

008:010 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and
came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

008:011 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him,
seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

008:012 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this
generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There
shall no sign be given unto this generation.

008:013 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to
the other side.

008:014 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had
they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

008:015 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

008:016 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we
have no bread.

008:017 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye,
because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither
understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

008:018 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do
ye not remember?

008:019 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many
baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him,
Twelve.

008:020 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full
of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

008:021 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

008:022 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto
him, and besought him to touch him.

008:023 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the
town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon
him, he asked him if he saw ought.

008:024 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

008:025 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him
look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

008:026 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the
town, nor tell it to any in the town.

008:027 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of
Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples,
saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

008:028 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and
others, One of the prophets.

008:029 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter
answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

008:030 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

008:031 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer
many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief
priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise
again.

008:032 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began
to rebuke him.

008:033 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he
rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou
savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that
be of men.

008:034 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

008:035 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same
shall save it.

008:036 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?

008:037 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

008:038 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the
Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his
Father with the holy angels.

009:001 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be
some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death,
till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

009:002 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and
John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by
themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

009:003 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as
no fuller on earth can white them.

009:004 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were
talking with Jesus.

009:005 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for
us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for
thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

009:006 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

009:007 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came
out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

009:008 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no
man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

009:009 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that
they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the
Son of man were risen from the dead.

009:010 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one
with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

009:011 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias
must first come?

009:012 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and
restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man,
that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

009:013 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have
done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

009:014 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude
about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

009:015 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were
greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

009:016 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

009:017 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have
brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

009:018 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth,
and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to
thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could
not.

009:019 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long
shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him
unto me.

009:020 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him,
straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground,
and wallowed foaming.

009:021 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came
unto him? And he said, Of a child.

009:022 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the
waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have
compassion on us, and help us.

009:023 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are
possible to him that believeth.

009:024 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said
with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

009:025 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he
rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf
spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into
him.

009:026 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him:
and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

009:027 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he
arose.

009:028 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him
privately, Why could not we cast him out?

009:029 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing,
but by prayer and fasting.

009:030 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he
would not that any man should know it.

009:031 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of
man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill
him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.

009:032 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask
him.

009:033 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked
them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the
way?

009:034 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed
among themselves, who should be the greatest.

009:035 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them,
If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all,
and servant of all.

009:036 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and
when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

009:037 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name,
receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not
me, but him that sent me.

009:038 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out
devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad
him, because he followeth not us.

009:039 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which
shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of
me.

009:040 For he that is not against us is on our part.

009:041 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my
name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he
shall not lose his reward.

009:042 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that
believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

009:043 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee
to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into
hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

009:044 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

009:045 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee
to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into
hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

009:046 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

009:047 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for
thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than
having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

009:048 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

009:049 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice
shall be salted with salt.

009:050 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness,
wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have
peace one with another.

010:001 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea
by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him
again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

010:002 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for
a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

010:003 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command
you?

010:004 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement,
and to put her away.

010:005 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of
your heart he wrote you this precept.

010:006 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and
female.

010:007 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
cleave to his wife;

010:008 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more
twain, but one flesh.

010:009 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.

010:010 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same
matter.

010:011 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and
marry another, committeth adultery against her.

010:012 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to
another, she committeth adultery.

010:013 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch
them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

010:014 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto
them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid
them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

010:015 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom
of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

010:016 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and
blessed them.

010:017 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one
running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what
shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

010:018 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is
none good but one, that is, God.

010:019 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not,
Honour thy father and mother.

010:020 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I
observed from my youth.

010:021 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One
thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and
give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and
come, take up the cross, and follow me.

010:022 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he
had great possessions.

010:023 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples,
How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom
of God!

010:024 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus
answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it
for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of
God!

010:025 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

010:026 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among
themselves, Who then can be saved?

010:027 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible,
but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

010:028 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and
have followed thee.

010:029 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is
no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my
sake, and the gospel's,

010:030 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses,
and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and
lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal
life.

010:031 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

010:032 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went
before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they
were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell
them what things should happen unto him,

010:033 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the
scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall
deliver him to the Gentiles:

010:034 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit
upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise
again.

010:035 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him,
saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us
whatsoever we shall desire.

010:036 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

010:037 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy
right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

010:038 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye
drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with?

010:039 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye
shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the
baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

010:040 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to
give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

010:041 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased
with James and John.

010:042 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know
that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles
exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise
authority upon them.

010:043 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great
among you, shall be your minister:

010:044 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of
all.

010:045 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

010:046 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with
his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus,
the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

010:047 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to
cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

010:048 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he
cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on
me.

010:049 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And
they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort,
rise; he calleth thee.

010:050 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

010:051 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I
should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I
might receive my sight.

010:052 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee
whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed
Jesus in the way.

011:001 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and
Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his
disciples,

011:002 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against
you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a
colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

011:003 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the
Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him
hither.

011:004 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door
without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

011:005 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do
ye, loosing the colt?

011:006 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they
let them go.

011:007 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on
him; and he sat upon him.

011:008 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down
branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

011:009 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord:

011:010 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the
name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

011:011 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and
when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the
eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

011:012 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was
hungry:

011:013 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if
haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it,
he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

011:014 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee
hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

011:015 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple,
and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple,
and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats
of them that sold doves;

011:016 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel
through the temple.

011:017 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house
shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye
have made it a den of thieves.

011:018 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how
they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the
people was astonished at his doctrine.

011:019 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

011:020 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree
dried up from the roots.

011:021 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master,
behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

011:022 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

011:023 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith.

011:024 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when
ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

011:025 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against
any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you
your trespasses.

011:026 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in
heaven forgive your trespasses.

011:027 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the
temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes,
and the elders,

011:028 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things?
and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

011:029 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you
one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what
authority I do these things.

011:030 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

011:031 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

011:032 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all
men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

011:033 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And
Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what
authority I do these things.

012:001 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man
planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a
place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country.

012:002 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he
might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the
vineyard.

012:003 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

012:004 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they
cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away
shamefully handled.

012:005 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many
others; beating some, and killing some.

012:006 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him
also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

012:007 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir;
come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

012:008 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the
vineyard.

012:009 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come
and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto
others.

012:010 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the
builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

012:011 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

012:012 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for
they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and
they left him, and went their way.

012:013 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the
Herodians, to catch him in his words.

012:014 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know
that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest
not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth:
Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

012:015 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their
hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny,
that I may see it.

012:016 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this
image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

012:017 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the
things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are
God's. And they marvelled at him.

012:018 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no
resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

012:019 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave
his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother
should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

012:020 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and
dying left no seed.

012:021 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed:
and the third likewise.

012:022 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman
died also.

012:023 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose
wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

012:024 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err,
because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

012:025 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry,
nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in
heaven.

012:026 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in
the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying,
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob?

012:027 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye
therefore do greatly err.

012:028 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning
together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked
him, Which is the first commandment of all?

012:029 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

012:030 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength: this is the first commandment.

012:031 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater
than these.

012:032 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the
truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

012:033 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the
strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than
all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

012:034 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto
him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man
after that durst ask him any question.

012:035 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,
How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

012:036 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
footstool.

012:037 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he
then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

012:038 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes,
which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the
marketplaces,

012:039 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms
at feasts:

012:040 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long
prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

012:041 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the
people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich
cast in much.

012:042 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two
mites, which make a farthing.

012:043 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,
Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in,
than all they which have cast into the treasury:

012:044 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her
want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

013:001 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith
unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings
are here!

013:002 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great
buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down.

013:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the
temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him
privately,

013:004 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the
sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

013:005 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man
deceive you:

013:006 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.

013:007 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not
troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not
be yet.

013:008 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and
there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings
of sorrows.

013:009 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to
councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye
shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a
testimony against them.

013:010 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

013:011 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no
thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye
premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour,
that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy
Ghost.

013:012 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the
father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

013:013 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

013:014 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him
that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee
to the mountains:

013:015 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the
house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his
house:

013:016 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to
take up his garment.

013:017 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!

013:018 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

013:019 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from
the beginning of the creation which God created unto this
time, neither shall be.

013:020 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh
should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath
chosen, he hath shortened the days.

013:021 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or,
lo, he is there; believe him not:

013:022 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall
shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even
the elect.

013:023 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

013:024 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

013:025 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in
heaven shall be shaken.

013:026 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds
with great power and glory.

013:027 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together
his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the
earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

013:028 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

013:029 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to
pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

013:030 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass,
till all these things be done.

013:031 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass
away.

013:032 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

013:033 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time
is.

013:034 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left
his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every
man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

013:035 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the
house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing,
or in the morning:

013:036 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

013:037 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

014:001 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of
unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought
how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

014:002 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
of the people.

014:003 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he
sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of
ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box,
and poured it on his head.

014:004 And there were some that had indignation within themselves,
and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

014:005 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence,
and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against
her.

014:006 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath
wrought a good work on me.

014:007 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will
ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

014:008 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint
my body to the burying.

014:009 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath
done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

014:010 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief
priests, to betray him unto them.

014:011 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give
him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

014:012 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the
passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we
go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

014:013 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto
them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man
bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

014:014 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the
house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I
shall eat the passover with my disciples?

014:015 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and
prepared: there make ready for us.

014:016 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and
found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the
passover.

014:017 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

014:018 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto
you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

014:019 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by
one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

014:020 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve,
that dippeth with me in the dish.

014:021 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe
to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it
for that man if he had never been born.

014:022 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake
it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

014:023 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it
to them: and they all drank of it.

014:024 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament,
which is shed for many.

014:025 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of
the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of
God.

014:026 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount
of Olives.

014:027 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of
me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd,
and the sheep shall be scattered.

014:028 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

014:029 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet
will not I.

014:030 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this
day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou
shalt deny me thrice.

014:031 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I
will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

014:032 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he
saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

014:033 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to
be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

014:034 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto
death: tarry ye here, and watch.

014:035 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and
prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from
him.

014:036 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee;
take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but
what thou wilt.

014:037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto
Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

014:038 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit
truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

014:039 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

014:040 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their
eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

014:041 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on
now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come;
behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

014:042 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

014:043 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the
twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves,
from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

014:044 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead
him away safely.

014:045 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and
saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

014:046 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

014:047 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a
servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

014:048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as
against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

014:049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me
not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

014:050 And they all forsook him, and fled.

014:051 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen
cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold
on him:

014:052 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

014:053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were
assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the
scribes.

014:054 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the
high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself
at the fire.

014:055 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness
against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

014:056 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness
agreed not together.

014:057 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him,
saying,

014:058 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with
hands, and within three days I will build another made without
hands.

014:059 But neither so did their witness agree together.

014:060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,
saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness
against thee?

014:061 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high
priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the
Son of the Blessed?

014:062 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting
on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of
heaven.

014:063 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we
any further witnesses?

014:064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all
condemned him to be guilty of death.

014:065 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to
buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants
did strike him with the palms of their hands.

014:066 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of
the maids of the high priest:

014:067 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him,
and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

014:068 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what
thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock
crew.

014:069 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood
by, This is one of them.

014:070 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by
said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art
a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

014:071 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this
man of whom ye speak.

014:072 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind
the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice,
thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he
wept.

015:001 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a
consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole
council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered
him to Pilate.

015:002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

015:003 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he
answered nothing.

015:004 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
behold how many things they witness against thee.

015:005 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

015:006 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner,
whomsoever they desired.

015:007 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them
that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder
in the insurrection.

015:008 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he
had ever done unto them.

015:009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto
you the King of the Jews?

015:010 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

015:011 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
release Barabbas unto them.

015:012 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye
then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the
Jews?

015:013 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

015:014 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And
they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

015:015 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged
him, to be crucified.

015:016 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called
Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

015:017 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of
thorns, and put it about his head,

015:018 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

015:019 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon
him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

015:020 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from
him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to
crucify him.

015:021 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming
out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear
his cross.

015:022 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.

015:023 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he
received it not.

015:024 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,
casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

015:025 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

015:026 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE
KING OF THE JEWS.

015:027 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right
hand, and the other on his left.

015:028 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was
numbered with the transgressors.

015:029 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest
it in three days,

015:030 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

015:031 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves
with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

015:032 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that
we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him
reviled him.

015:033 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the
whole land until the ninth hour.

015:034 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

015:035 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said,
Behold, he calleth Elias.

015:036 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on
a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see
whether Elias will come to take him down.

015:037 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

015:038 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom.

015:039 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that
he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this
man was the Son of God.

015:040 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses,
and Salome;

015:041 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and
ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with
him unto Jerusalem.

015:042 And now when the even was come, because it was the
preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

015:043 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also
waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto
Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

015:044 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto
him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while
dead.

015:045 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to
Joseph.

015:046 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him
in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out
of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

015:047 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where
he was laid.

016:001 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that
they might come and anoint him.

016:002 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they
came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

016:003 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre?

016:004 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away:
for it was very great.

016:005 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting
on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they
were affrighted.

016:006 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of
Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here:
behold the place where they laid him.

016:007 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth
before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said
unto you.

016:008 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for
they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to
any man; for they were afraid.

016:009 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast
seven devils.

016:010 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they
mourned and wept.

016:011 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been
seen of her, believed not.

016:012 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as
they walked, and went into the country.

016:013 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed
they them.

016:014 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and
upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they believed not them which had seen him after he was
risen.

016:015 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.

016:016 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.

016:017 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

016:018 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover.

016:019 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received
up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

016:020 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord
working with them, and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen.

Book 42 Luke

001:001 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a
declaration of those things which are most surely believed
among us,

001:002 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

001:003 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of
all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order,
most excellent Theophilus,

001:004 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein
thou hast been instructed.

001:005 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain
priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife
was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

001:006 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

001:007 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and
they both were now well stricken in years.

001:008 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's
office before God in the order of his course,

001:009 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to
burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

001:010 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at
the time of incense.

001:011 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on
the right side of the altar of incense.

001:012 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell
upon him.

001:013 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy
prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son,
and thou shalt call his name John.

001:014 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice
at his birth.

001:015 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall
drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled
with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.

001:016 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord
their God.

001:017 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,
to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the
disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord.

001:018 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this?
for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

001:019 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that
stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee,
and to shew thee these glad tidings.

001:020 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until
the day that these things shall be performed, because thou
believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their
season.

001:021 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he
tarried so long in the temple.

001:022 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they
perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he
beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

001:023 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

001:024 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid
herself five months, saying,

001:025 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked
on me, to take away my reproach among men.

001:026 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

001:027 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

001:028 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art
highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women.

001:029 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast
in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

001:030 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
found favour with God.

001:031 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

001:032 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father
David:

001:033 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
his kingdom there shall be no end.

001:034 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
know not a man?

001:035 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow
thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God.

001:036 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a
son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who
was called barren.

001:037 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

001:038 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

001:039 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country
with haste, into a city of Juda;

001:040 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted
Elisabeth.

001:041 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation
of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled
with the Holy Ghost:

001:042 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art
thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

001:043 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should
come to me?

001:044 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

001:045 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a
performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

001:046 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

001:047 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

001:048 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for,
behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

001:049 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy
is his name.

001:050 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to
generation.

001:051 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the
proud in the imagination of their hearts.

001:052 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them
of low degree.

001:053 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he
hath sent empty away.

001:054 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his
mercy;

001:055 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for
ever.

001:056 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to
her own house.

001:057 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered;
and she brought forth a son.

001:058 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had
shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

001:059 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to
circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the
name of his father.

001:060 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be
called John.

001:061 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is
called by this name.

001:062 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him
called.

001:063 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name
is John. And they marvelled all.

001:064 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed,
and he spake, and praised God.

001:065 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all
these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill
country of Judaea.

001:066 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts,
saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of
the Lord was with him.

001:067 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
prophesied, saying,

001:068 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and
redeemed his people,

001:069 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of
his servant David;

001:070 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been
since the world began:

001:071 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of
all that hate us;

001:072 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember
his holy covenant;

001:073 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

001:074 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of
the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

001:075 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our
life.

001:076 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest:
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his
ways;

001:077 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the
remission of their sins,

001:078 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
from on high hath visited us,

001:079 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow
of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

001:080 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the
deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

002:001 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be
taxed.

002:002 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria.)

002:003 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

002:004 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

002:005 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
child.

002:006 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.

002:007 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was
no room for them in the inn.

002:008 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

002:009 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

002:010 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

002:011 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

002:012 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

002:013 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,

002:014 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.

002:015 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.

002:016 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in a manger.

002:017 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child.

002:018 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds.

002:019 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
heart.

002:020 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told
unto them.

002:021 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of
the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of
the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

002:022 And when the days of her purification according to the law of
Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to
present him to the Lord;

002:023 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that
openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

002:024 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in
the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young
pigeons.

002:025 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was
Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the
consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

002:026 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should
not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

002:027 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the
custom of the law,

002:028 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

002:029 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according
to thy word:

002:030 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

002:031 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

002:032 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people
Israel.

002:033 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were
spoken of him.

002:034 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,
Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of
many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

002:035 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that
the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

002:036 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived
with an husband seven years from her virginity;

002:037 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which
departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and
prayers night and day.

002:038 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the
Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption
in Jerusalem.

002:039 And when they had performed all things according to the law of
the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city
Nazareth.

002:040 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with
wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

002:041 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of
the passover.

002:042 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem
after the custom of the feast.

002:043 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the
child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his
mother knew not of it.

002:044 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a
day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and
acquaintance.

002:045 And when they found him not, they turned back again to
Jerusalem, seeking him.

002:046 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in
the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing
them, and asking them questions.

002:047 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding
and answers.

002:048 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said
unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy
father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

002:049 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye
not that I must be about my Father's business?

002:050 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

002:051 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was
subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in
her heart.

002:052 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with
God and man.

003:001 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being
tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of
Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the
tetrarch of Abilene,

003:002 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God
came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

003:003 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

003:004 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

003:005 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill
shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight,
and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

003:006 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

003:007 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized
of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?

003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin
not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father:
for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise
up children unto Abraham.

003:009 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every
tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire.

003:010 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

003:011 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let
him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let
him do likewise.

003:012 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,
Master, what shall we do?

003:013 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
appointed you.

003:014 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what
shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man,
neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

003:015 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in
their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

003:016 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with
water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose
shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with
the Holy Ghost and with fire:

003:017 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the
chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

003:018 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the
people.

003:019 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his
brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had
done,

003:020 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

003:021 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

003:022 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove
upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art
my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

003:023 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being
(as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of
Heli,

003:024 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which
was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was
the son of Joseph,

003:025 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos,
which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which
was the son of Nagge,

003:026 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias,
which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which
was the son of Juda,

003:027 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which
was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel,
which was the son of Neri,

003:028 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which
was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was
the son of Er,

003:029 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which
was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was
the son of Levi,

003:030 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which
was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was
the son of Eliakim,

003:031 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which
was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which
was the son of David,

003:032 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which
was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was
the son of Naasson,

003:033 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram,
which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which
was the son of Juda,

003:034 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which
was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was
the son of Nachor,

003:035 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which
was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was
the son of Sala,

003:036 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad,
which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was
the son of Lamech,

003:037 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch,
which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel,
which was the son of Cainan,

003:038 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which
was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

004:001 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

004:002 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he
did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward
hungered.

004:003 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
command this stone that it be made bread.

004:004 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

004:005 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

004:006 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee,
and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it.

004:007 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

004:008 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.

004:009 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of
the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down from hence:

004:010 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee:

004:011 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time
thou dash thy foot against a stone.

004:012 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God.

004:013 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed
from him for a season.

004:014 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee:
and there went out a fame of him through all the region round
about.

004:015 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

004:016 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as
his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,
and stood up for to read.

004:017 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet
Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place
where it was written,

004:018 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that
are bruised,

004:019 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

004:020 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister,
and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on him.

004:021 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears.

004:022 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words
which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this
Joseph's son?

004:023 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this
proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard
done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

004:024 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in
his own country.

004:025 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the
days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six
months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

004:026 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a
city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

004:027 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the
prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the
Syrian.

004:028 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,
were filled with wrath,

004:029 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto
the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they
might cast him down headlong.

004:030 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

004:031 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them
on the sabbath days.

004:032 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was
with power.

004:033 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an
unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

004:034 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus
of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou
art; the Holy One of God.

004:035 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came
out of him, and hurt him not.

004:036 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying,
What a word is this! for with authority and power he
commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

004:037 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country
round about.

004:038 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's
house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever;
and they besought him for her.

004:039 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her:
and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

004:040 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with
divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands
on every one of them, and healed them.

004:041 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou
art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them
not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

004:042 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place:
and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him,
that he should not depart from them.

004:043 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to
other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

004:044 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

005:001 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to
hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

005:002 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were
gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

005:003 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and
prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land.
And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

005:004 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out
into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

005:005 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all
the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I
will let down the net.

005:006 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude
of fishes: and their net brake.

005:007 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other
ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and
filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

005:008 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

005:009 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the
draught of the fishes which they had taken:

005:010 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which
were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not;
from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

005:011 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook
all, and followed him.

005:012 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a
man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and
besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me
clean.

005:013 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be
thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

005:014 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to
the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.

005:015 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and
great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by
him of their infirmities.

005:016 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

005:017 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that
there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which
were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and
Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

005:018 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a
palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him
before him.

005:019 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him
in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and
let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst
before Jesus.

005:020 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins
are forgiven thee.

005:021 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who
is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but
God alone?

005:022 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said
unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

005:023 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
say, Rise up and walk?

005:024 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth
to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say
unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine
house.

005:025 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

005:026 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were
filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

005:027 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican,
named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto
him, Follow me.

005:028 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

005:029 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there
was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down
with them.

005:030 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his
disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and
sinners?

005:031 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need
not a physician; but they that are sick.

005:032 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

005:033 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast
often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the
Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

005:034 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the
bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

005:035 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

005:036 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece
of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new
maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new
agreeth not with the old.

005:037 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new
wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles
shall perish.

005:038 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
preserved.

005:039 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new:
for he saith, The old is better.

006:001 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first,
that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples
plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their
hands.

006:002 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that
which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

006:003 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as
this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they
which were with him;

006:004 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the
shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it
is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

006:005 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the
sabbath.

006:006 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered
into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right
hand was withered.

006:007 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would
heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation
against him.

006:008 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the
withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he
arose and stood forth.

006:009 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it
lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save
life, or to destroy it?

006:010 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man,
Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was
restored whole as the other.

006:011 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with
another what they might do to Jesus.

006:012 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a
mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

006:013 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of
them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

006:014 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

006:015 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
called Zelotes,

006:016 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also
was the traitor.

006:017 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the
company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out
of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre
and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their
diseases;

006:018 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were
healed.

006:019 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went
virtue out of him, and healed them all.

006:020 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

006:021 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

006:022 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall
separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and
cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

006:023 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your
reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their
fathers unto the prophets.

006:024 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your
consolation.

006:025 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

006:026 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did
their fathers to the false prophets.

006:027 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to
them which hate you,

006:028 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you.

006:029 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the
other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take
thy coat also.

006:030 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh
away thy goods ask them not again.

006:031 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them
likewise.

006:032 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for
sinners also love those that love them.

006:033 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank
have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

006:034 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank
have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much
again.

006:035 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for
nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be
the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the
unthankful and to the evil.

006:036 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

006:037 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye
shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

006:038 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give
into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal
it shall be measured to you again.

006:039 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the
blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

006:040 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is
perfect shall be as his master.

006:041 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

006:042 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull
out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest
not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast
out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

006:043 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth
a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

006:044 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do
not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

006:045 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for
of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

006:046 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I
say?

006:047 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth
them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

006:048 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and
laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the
stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake
it: for it was founded upon a rock.

006:049 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without
a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the
stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the
ruin of that house was great.

007:001 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the
people, he entered into Capernaum.

007:002 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was
sick, and ready to die.

007:003 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the
Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

007:004 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

007:005 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

007:006 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from
the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him,
Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou
shouldest enter under my roof:

007:007 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:
but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

007:008 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me
soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to
another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and
he doeth it.

007:009 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned
him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say
unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

007:010 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the
servant whole that had been sick.

007:011 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city
called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much
people.

007:012 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there
was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and
she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

007:013 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said
unto her, Weep not.

007:014 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

007:015 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
delivered him to his mother.

007:016 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying,
That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath
visited his people.

007:017 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and
throughout all the region round about.

007:018 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

007:019 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to
Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for
another?

007:020 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath
sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or
look we for another?

007:021 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and
plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he
gave sight.

007:022 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell
John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind
see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,
the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

007:023 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

007:024 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to
speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into
the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

007:025 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and
live delicately, are in kings' courts.

007:026 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto
you, and much more than a prophet.

007:027 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

007:028 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there
is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is
least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

007:029 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

007:030 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
against themselves, being not baptized of him.

007:031 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of
this generation? and to what are they like?

007:032 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and
calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you,
and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have
not wept.

007:033 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking
wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

007:034 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold
a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners!

007:035 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

007:036 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with
him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to
meat.

007:037 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she
knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought
an alabaster box of ointment,

007:038 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash
his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her
head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the
ointment.

007:039 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake
within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would
have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth
him: for she is a sinner.

007:040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to
say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

007:041 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one
owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

007:042 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

007:043 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave
most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

007:044 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou
this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no
water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and
wiped them with the hairs of her head.

007:045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came
in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

007:046 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath
anointed my feet with ointment.

007:047 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are
forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,
the same loveth little.

007:048 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

007:049 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

007:050 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in
peace.

008:001 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every
city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of
the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

008:002 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and
infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven
devils,

008:003 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and
many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

008:004 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to
him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

008:005 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell
by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the
air devoured it.

008:006 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
withered away, because it lacked moisture.

008:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it,
and choked it.

008:008 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit
an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried,
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

008:009 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable
be?

008:010 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the
kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they
might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

008:011 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

008:012 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the
devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they
should believe and be saved.

008:013 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the
word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while
believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

008:014 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they
have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and
pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

008:015 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and
good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth
fruit with patience.

008:016 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a
vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a
candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

008:017 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come
abroad.

008:018 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him
shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be
taken even that which he seemeth to have.

008:019 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not
come at him for the press.

008:020 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy
brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

008:021 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren
are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

008:022 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship
with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto
the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

008:023 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm
of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were
in jeopardy.

008:024 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master,
we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging
of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

008:025 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being
afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is
this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they
obey him.

008:026 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is
over against Galilee.

008:027 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city
a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no
clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

008:028 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and
with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus,
thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

008:029 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the
man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound
with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was
driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

008:030 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,
Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

008:031 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out
into the deep.

008:032 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the
mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to
enter into them. And he suffered them.

008:033 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the
swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the
lake, and were choked.

008:034 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went
and told it in the city and in the country.

008:035 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus,
and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed,
sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind:
and they were afraid.

008:036 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was
possessed of the devils was healed.

008:037 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round
about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken
with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned
back again.

008:038 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him
that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

008:039 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath
done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout
the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

008:040 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people
gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

008:041 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler
of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and
besought him that he would come into his house:

008:042 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and
she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

008:043 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had
spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed
of any,

008:044 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and
immediately her issue of blood stanched.

008:045 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and
they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng
thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

008:046 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that
virtue is gone out of me.

008:047 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came
trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him
before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and
how she was healed immediately.

008:048 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith
hath made thee whole; go in peace.

008:049 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the
synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead;
trouble not the Master.

008:050 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not:
believe only, and she shall be made whole.

008:051 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in,
save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother
of the maiden.

008:052 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is
not dead, but sleepeth.

008:053 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

008:054 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,
saying, Maid, arise.

008:055 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he
commanded to give her meat.

008:056 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they
should tell no man what was done.

009:001 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them
power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

009:002 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the
sick.

009:003 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither
staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have
two coats apiece.

009:004 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence
depart.

009:005 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that
city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony
against them.

009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the
gospel, and healing every where.

009:007 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and
he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John
was risen from the dead;

009:008 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one
of the old prophets was risen again.

009:009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom
I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

009:010 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that
they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into
a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

009:011 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he
received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and
healed them that had need of healing.

009:012 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and
said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into
the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get
victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

009:013 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We
have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should
go and buy meat for all this people.

009:014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his
disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

009:015 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

009:016 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking
up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the
disciples to set before the multitude.

009:017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up
of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

009:018 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples
were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people
that I am?

009:019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;
and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

009:020 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering
said, The Christ of God.

009:021 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no
man that thing;

009:022 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be
rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be
slain, and be raised the third day.

009:023 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

009:024 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever
will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

009:025 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and
lose himself, or be cast away?

009:026 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him
shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own
glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

009:027 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

009:028 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings,
he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain
to pray.

009:029 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
and his raiment was white and glistering.

009:030 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses
and Elias:

009:031 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he
should accomplish at Jerusalem.

009:032 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep:
and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men
that stood with him.

009:033 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said
unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us
make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and
one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

009:034 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed
them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

009:035 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my
beloved Son: hear him.

009:036 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they
kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those
things which they had seen.

009:037 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come
down from the hill, much people met him.

009:038 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I
beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

009:039 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and
it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly
departeth from him.

009:040 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could
not.

009:041 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son
hither.

009:042 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare
him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the
child, and delivered him again to his father.

009:043 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while
they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said
unto his disciples,

009:044 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man
shall be delivered into the hands of men.

009:045 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them,
that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that
saying.

009:046 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should
be greatest.

009:047 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a
child, and set him by him,

009:048 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my
name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth
him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same
shall be great.

009:049 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out
devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth
not with us.

009:050 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not
against us is for us.

009:051 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be
received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

009:052 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for
him.

009:053 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though
he would go to Jerusalem.

009:054 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said,
Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven,
and consume them, even as Elias did?

009:055 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what
manner of spirit ye are of.

009:056 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to
save them. And they went to another village.

009:057 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain
man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou
goest.

009:058 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the
air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his
head.

009:059 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer
me first to go and bury my father.

009:060 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou
and preach the kingdom of God.

009:061 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me
first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

009:062 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the
plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

010:001 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and
sent them two and two before his face into every city and
place, whither he himself would come.

010:002 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but
the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

010:003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

010:004 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man
by the way.

010:005 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to
this house.

010:006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon
it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

010:007 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things
as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not
from house to house.

010:008 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat
such things as are set before you:

010:009 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

010:010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not,
go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

010:011 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do
wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that
the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

010:012 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that
day for Sodom, than for that city.

010:013 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
