| 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. |
