| 001:001
| Forasmuch
as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things
which are most surely believed among us, |
| 001:002 | Even
as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses,
and ministers of the word; |
| 001:003 | It
seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from
the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, |
| 001:004 | That
thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
|
| 001:005 | THERE
was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias,
of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her
name was Elisabeth. |
| 001:006 | And
they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances
of the Lord blameless. |
| 001:007 | And
they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now
well stricken in years. |
| 001:008 | And
it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the
order of his course, |
| 001:009 | According
to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went
into the temple of the Lord. |
| 001:010 | And
the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
|
| 001:011 | And
there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of
the altar of incense. |
| 001:012 | And
when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. |
| 001:013 | But
the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and
thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
|
| 001:014 | And
thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. |
| 001:015 | For
he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor
strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's
womb. |
| 001:016 | And
many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. |
| 001:017 | And
he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts
of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just;
to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. |
| 001:018 | And
Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man,
and my wife well stricken in years. |
| 001:019 | And
the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence
of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
|
| 001:020 | And,
behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these
things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall
be fulfilled in their season. |
| 001:021 | And
the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the
temple. |
| 001:022 | And
when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he
had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
|
| 001:023 | And
it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished,
he departed to his own house. |
| 001:024 | And
after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months,
saying, |
| 001:025 | Thus
hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away
my reproach among men. |
| 001:026 | And
in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee,
named Nazareth, |
| 001:027 | To
a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and
the virgin's name was Mary. |
| 001:028 | And
the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured,
the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. |
| 001:029 | And
when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what
manner of salutation this should be. |
| 001:030 | And
the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
|
| 001:031 | And,
behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call
his name JESUS. |
| 001:032 | He
shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God
shall give unto him the throne of his father David: |
| 001:033 | And
he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall
be no end. |
| 001:034 | Then
said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? |
| 001:035 | And
the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy
thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. |
| 001:036 | And,
behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age:
and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. |
| 001:037 | For
with God nothing shall be impossible. |
| 001:038 | And
Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy
word. And the angel departed from her. |
| 001:039 | And
Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a
city of Juda; |
| 001:040 | And
entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. |
| 001:041 | And
it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe
leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: |
| 001:042 | And
she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb. |
| 001:043 | And
whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? |
| 001:044 | For,
lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped
in my womb for joy. |
| 001:045 | And
blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things
which were told her from the Lord. |
| 001:046 | And
Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, |
| 001:047 | And
my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. |
| 001:048 | For
he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed. |
| 001:049 | For
he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. |
| 001:050 | And
his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. |
| 001:051 | He
hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination
of their hearts. |
| 001:052 | He
hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
|
| 001:053 | He
hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
|
| 001:054 | He
hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; |
| 001:055 | As
he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. |
| 001:056 | And
Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. |
| 001:057 | Now
Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth
a son. |
| 001:058 | And
her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon
her; and they rejoiced with her. |
| 001:059 | And
it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child;
and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. |
| 001:060 | And
his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. |
| 001:061 | And
they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
|
| 001:062 | And
they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. |
| 001:063 | And
he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they
marvelled all. |
| 001:064 | And
his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and
praised God. |
| 001:065 | And
fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised
abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. |
| 001:066 | And
all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner
of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. |
| 001:067 | And
his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
|
| 001:068 | Blessed
be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, |
| 001:069 | And
hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
|
| 001:070 | As
he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world
began: |
| 001:071 | That
we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
|
| 001:072 | To
perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
|
| 001:073 | The
oath which he sware to our father Abraham, |
| 001:074 | That
he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies
might serve him without fear, |
| 001:075 | In
holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. |
| 001:076 | And
thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go
before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; |
| 001:077 | To
give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
|
| 001:078 | Through
the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited
us, |
| 001:079 | To
give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide
our feet into the way of peace. |
| 001:080 | And
the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the
day of his shewing unto Israel. |
|
| 002:001
| And
it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus
that all the world should be taxed. | | 002:002 | (And
this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) |
| 002:003 | And
all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. |
| 002:004 | And
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea,
unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house
and lineage of David:) |
| 002:005 | To
be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. |
| 002:006 | And
so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she
should be delivered. |
| 002:007 | And
she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. |
| 002:008 | And
there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night. |
| 002:009 | And,
lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round
about them: and they were sore afraid. |
| 002:010 | And
the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people. |
| 002:011 | For
unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord. |
| 002:012 | And
this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger. |
| 002:013 | And
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God, and saying, |
| 002:014 | Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. |
| 002:015 | And
it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds
said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing
which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. |
| 002:016 | And
they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
|
| 002:017 | And
when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them
concerning this child. |
| 002:018 | And
all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the
shepherds. |
| 002:019 | But
Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. |
| 002:020 | And
the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that
they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. |
| 002:021 | And
when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name
was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in
the womb. |
| 002:022 | And
when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished,
they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; |
| 002:023 | (As
it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall
be called holy to the Lord;) |
| 002:024 | And
to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord,
A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. |
| 002:025 | And,
behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man
was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost
was upon him. |
| 002:026 | And
it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before
he had seen the Lord's Christ. |
| 002:027 | And
he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the
child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, |
| 002:028 | Then
took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, |
| 002:029 | Lord,
now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: |
| 002:030 | For
mine eyes have seen thy salvation, |
| 002:031 | Which
thou hast prepared before the face of all people; |
| 002:032 | A
light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. |
| 002:033 | And
Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. |
| 002:034 | And
Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set
for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall
be spoken against; |
| 002:035 | (Yea,
a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many
hearts may be revealed. |
| 002:036 | And
there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of
Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from
her virginity; |
| 002:037 | And
she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from
the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. |
| 002:038 | And
she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of
him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. |
| 002:039 | And
when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned
into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. |
| 002:040 | And
the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace
of God was upon him. |
| 002:041 | Now
his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. |
| 002:042 | And
when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of
the feast. |
| 002:043 | And
when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried
behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. |
| 002:044 | But
they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and
they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. |
| 002:045 | And
when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
|
| 002:046 | And
it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting
in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
|
| 002:047 | And
all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. |
| 002:048 | And
when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why
hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
|
| 002:049 | And
he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be
about my Father's business? |
| 002:050 | And
they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. |
| 002:051 | And
he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but
his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. |
| 002:052 | And
Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. |
|
| 003:001
| Now
in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being
governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip
tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch
of Abilene, | | 003:002 | Annas
and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son
of Zacharias in the wilderness. |
| 003:003 | And
he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance
for the remission of sins; |
| 003:004 | As
it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice
of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
straight. |
| 003:005 | Every
valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and
the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
|
| 003:006 | And
all flesh shall see the salvation of God. |
| 003:007 | Then
said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation
of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? |
| 003:008 | Bring
forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves,
We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these
stones to raise up children unto Abraham. |
| 003:009 | And
now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. |
| 003:010 | And
the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? |
| 003:011 | He
answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him
that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. |
| 003:012 | Then
came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we
do? |
| 003:013 | And
he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. |
| 003:014 | And
the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he
said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content
with your wages. |
| 003:015 | And
as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John,
whether he were the Christ, or not; |
| 003:016 | John
answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier
than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: |
| 003:017 | Whose
fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather
the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
|
| 003:018 | And
many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. |
| 003:019 | But
Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's
wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, |
| 003:020 | Added
yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. |
| 003:021 | Now
when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized,
and praying, the heaven was opened, |
| 003:022 | And
the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice
came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
|
| 003:023 | And
Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed)
the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, |
| 003:024 | Which
was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi,
which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, |
| 003:025 | Which
was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of
Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, |
| 003:026 | Which
was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of
Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, |
| 003:027 | Which
was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel,
which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, |
| 003:028 | Which
was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam,
which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, |
| 003:029 | Which
was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim,
which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, |
| 003:030 | Which
was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph,
which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, |
| 003:031 | Which
was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha,
which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, |
| 003:032 | Which
was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz,
which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, |
| 003:033 | Which
was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom,
which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, |
| 003:034 | Which
was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham,
which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, |
| 003:035 | Which
was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec,
which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, |
| 003:036 | Which
was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of
Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, |
| 003:037 | Which
was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of
Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, |
| 003:038 | Which
was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam,
which was the son of God. |
|
| 004:001
| And
Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the
Spirit into the wilderness, | | 004:002 | Being
forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and
when they were ended, he afterward hungered. |
| 004:003 | And
the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that
it be made bread. |
| 004:004 | And
Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word of God. |
| 004:005 | And
the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms
of the world in a moment of time. |
| 004:006 | And
the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of
them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. |
| 004:007 | If
thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. |
| 004:008 | And
Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. |
| 004:009 | And
he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said
unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: |
| 004:010 | For
it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: |
| 004:011 | And
in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot
against a stone. |
| 004:012 | And
Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy
God. |
| 004:013 | And
when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
|
| 004:014 | And
Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out
a fame of him through all the region round about. |
| 004:015 | And
he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. |
| 004:016 | And
he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was,
he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. |
| 004:017 | And
there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had
opened the book, he found the place where it was written, |
| 004:018 | The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance
to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them
that are bruised, |
| 004:019 | To
preach the acceptable year of the Lord. |
| 004:020 | And
he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And
the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. |
| 004:021 | And
he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
|
| 004:022 | And
all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out
of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? |
| 004:023 | And
he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal
thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
|
| 004:024 | And
he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
|
| 004:025 | But
I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when
the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout
all the land; |
| 004:026 | But
unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto
a woman that was a widow. |
| 004:027 | And
many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of
them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. |
| 004:028 | And
all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
|
| 004:029 | And
rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill
whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. |
| 004:030 | But
he passing through the midst of them went his way, |
| 004:031 | And
came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
|
| 004:032 | And
they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. |
| 004:033 | And
in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and
cried out with a loud voice, |
| 004:034 | Saying,
Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou
come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. |
| 004:035 | And
Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the
devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. |
| 004:036 | And
they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this!
for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come
out. |
| 004:037 | And
the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. |
| 004:038 | And
he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's
wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
|
| 004:039 | And
he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately
she arose and ministered unto them. |
| 004:040 | Now
when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought
them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
|
| 004:041 | And
devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son
of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that
he was Christ. |
| 004:042 | And
when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought
him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
|
| 004:043 | And
he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for
therefore am I sent. |
| 004:044 | And
he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. |
|
| 005:001
| And
it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God,
he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, | | 005:002 | And
saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them,
and were washing their nets. |
| 005:003 | And
he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he
would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people
out of the ship. |
| 005:004 | Now
when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and
let down your nets for a draught. |
| 005:005 | And
Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have
taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. |
| 005:006 | And
when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their
net brake. |
| 005:007 | And
they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they
should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that
they began to sink. |
| 005:008 | When
Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for
I am a sinful man, O Lord. |
| 005:009 | For
he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes
which they had taken: |
| 005:010 | And
so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with
Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch
men. |
| 005:011 | And
when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
|
| 005:012 | And
it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy:
who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou
wilt, thou canst make me clean. |
| 005:013 | And
he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And
immediately the leprosy departed from him. |
| 005:014 | And
he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and
offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto
them. |
| 005:015 | But
so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came
together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. |
| 005:016 | And
he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. |
| 005:017 | And
it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees
and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee,
and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
|
| 005:018 | And,
behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought
means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. |
| 005:019 | And
when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the
multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling
with his couch into the midst before Jesus. |
| 005:020 | And
when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
|
| 005:021 | And
the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh
blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? |
| 005:022 | But
when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason
ye in your hearts? |
| 005:023 | Whether
is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
|
| 005:024 | But
that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins,
(he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy
couch, and go into thine house. |
| 005:025 | And
immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed
to his own house, glorifying God. |
| 005:026 | And
they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying,
We have seen strange things to day. |
| 005:027 | And
after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at
the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. |
| 005:028 | And
he left all, rose up, and followed him. |
| 005:029 | And
Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company
of publicans and of others that sat down with them. |
| 005:030 | But
their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do
ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? |
| 005:031 | And
Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but
they that are sick. |
| 005:032 | I
came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. |
| 005:033 | And
they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers,
and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? |
| 005:034 | And
he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while
the bridegroom is with them? |
| 005:035 | But
the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and
then shall they fast in those days. |
| 005:036 | And
he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment
upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that
was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. |
| 005:037 | And
no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the
bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. |
| 005:038 | But
new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. |
| 005:039 | No
man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The
old is better. |
|
| 006:001
| And
it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through
the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing
them in their hands. | | 006:002 | And
certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful
to do on the sabbath days? |
| 006:003 | And
Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did,
when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; |
| 006:004 | How
he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave
also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the
priests alone? |
| 006:005 | And
he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. |
| 006:006 | And
it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue
and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. |
| 006:007 | And
the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath
day; that they might find an accusation against him. |
| 006:008 | But
he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise
up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. |
| 006:009 | Then
said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath
days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? |
| 006:010 | And
looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy
hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. |
| 006:011 | And
they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might
do to Jesus. |
| 006:012 | And
it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and
continued all night in prayer to God. |
| 006:013 | And
when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve,
whom also he named apostles; |
| 006:014 | Simon,
(whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip
and Bartholomew, |
| 006:015 | Matthew
and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, |
| 006:016 | And
Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
|
| 006:017 | And
he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples,
and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the
sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their
diseases; |
| 006:018 | And
they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. |
| 006:019 | And
the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him,
and healed them all. |
| 006:020 | And
he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours
is the kingdom of God. |
| 006:021 | Blessed
are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now:
for ye shall laugh. |
| 006:022 | Blessed
are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their
company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son
of man's sake. |
| 006:023 | Rejoice
ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven:
for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. |
| 006:024 | But
woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. |
| 006:025 | Woe
unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for
ye shall mourn and weep. |
| 006:026 | Woe
unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to
the false prophets. |
| 006:027 | But
I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
|
| 006:028 | Bless
them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. |
| 006:029 | And
unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that
taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. |
| 006:030 | Give
to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask
them not again. |
| 006:031 | And
as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. |
| 006:032 | For
if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those
that love them. |
| 006:033 | And
if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners
also do even the same. |
| 006:034 | And
if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners
also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. |
| 006:035 | But
love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and
your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for
he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. |
| 006:036 | Be
ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. |
| 006:037 | Judge
not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: |
| 006:038 | Give,
and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together,
and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure
that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. |
| 006:039 | And
he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not
both fall into the ditch? |
| 006:040 | The
disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as
his master. |
| 006:041 | And
why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not
the beam that is in thine own eye? |
| 006:042 | Either
how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is
in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own
eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then
shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. |
| 006:043 | For
a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit. |
| 006:044 | For
every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs,
nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. |
| 006:045 | A
good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is
good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth
that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. |
| 006:046 | And
why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? |
| 006:047 | Whosoever
cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom
he is like: |
| 006:048 | He
is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation
on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that
house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. |
| 006:049 | But
he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built
an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and
immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. |
|
| 007:001
| Now
when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered
into Capernaum. | | 007:002 | And
a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to
die. |
| 007:003 | And
when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching
him that he would come and heal his servant. |
| 007:004 | And
when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy
for whom he should do this: |
| 007:005 | For
he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. |
| 007:006 | Then
Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion
sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not
worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: |
| 007:007 | Wherefore
neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my
servant shall be healed. |
| 007:008 | For
I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto
one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant,
Do this, and he doeth it. |
| 007:009 | When
Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said
unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel. |
| 007:010 | And
they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had
been sick. |
| 007:011 | And
it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many
of his disciples went with him, and much people. |
| 007:012 | Now
when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried
out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the
city was with her. |
| 007:013 | And
when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
|
| 007:014 | And
he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said,
Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. |
| 007:015 | And
he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
|
| 007:016 | And
there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet
is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. |
| 007:017 | And
this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the
region round about. |
| 007:018 | And
the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. |
| 007:019 | And
John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art
thou he that should come? or look we for another? |
| 007:020 | When
the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee,
saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? |
| 007:021 | And
in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil
spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. |
| 007:022 | Then
Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have
seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. |
| 007:023 | And
blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. |
| 007:024 | And
when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people
concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken
with the wind? |
| 007:025 | But
what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which
are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. |
| 007:026 | But
what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more
than a prophet. |
| 007:027 | This
is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way before thee. |
| 007:028 | For
I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet
than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater
than he. |
| 007:029 | And
all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized
with the baptism of John. |
| 007:030 | But
the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being
not baptized of him. |
| 007:031 | And
the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and
to what are they like? |
| 007:032 | They
are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another,
and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned
to you, and ye have not wept. |
| 007:033 | For
John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He
hath a devil. |
| 007:034 | The
Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man,
and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! |
| 007:035 | But
wisdom is justified of all her children. |
| 007:036 | And
one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into
the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. |
| 007:037 | And,
behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat
at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, |
| 007:038 | And
stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears,
and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed
them with the ointment. |
| 007:039 | Now
when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying,
This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman
this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. |
| 007:040 | And
Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And
he saith, Master, say on. |
| 007:041 | There
was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence,
and the other fifty. |
| 007:042 | And
when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore,
which of them will love him most? |
| 007:043 | Simon
answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said
unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. |
| 007:044 | And
he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered
into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed
my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. |
| 007:045 | Thou
gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased
to kiss my feet. |
| 007:046 | My
head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with
ointment. |
| 007:047 | Wherefore
I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much:
but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. |
| 007:048 | And
he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. |
| 007:049 | And
they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this
that forgiveth sins also? |
| 007:050 | And
he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. |
|
| 008:001
| And
it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village,
preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve
were with him, | | 008:002 | And
certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary
called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, |
| 008:003 | And
Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which
ministered unto him of their substance. |
| 008:004 | And
when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every
city, he spake by a parable: |
| 008:005 | A
sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side;
and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. |
| 008:006 | And
some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because
it lacked moisture. |
| 008:007 | And
some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. |
| 008:008 | And
other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And
when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear. |
| 008:009 | And
his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? |
| 008:010 | And
he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God:
but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they
might not understand. |
| 008:011 | Now
the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. |
| 008:012 | Those
by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away
the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. |
| 008:013 | They
on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and
these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall
away. |
| 008:014 | And
that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth,
and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring
no fruit to perfection. |
| 008:015 | But
that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having
heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. |
| 008:016 | No
man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it
under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may
see the light. |
| 008:017 | For
nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid,
that shall not be known and come abroad. |
| 008:018 | Take
heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and
whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
|
| 008:019 | Then
came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the
press. |
| 008:020 | And
it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without,
desiring to see thee. |
| 008:021 | And
he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear
the word of God, and do it. |
| 008:022 | Now
it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples:
and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And
they launched forth. |
| 008:023 | But
as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake;
and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. |
| 008:024 | And
they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he
arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and
there was a calm. |
| 008:025 | And
he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying
one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds
and water, and they obey him. |
| 008:026 | And
they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
|
| 008:027 | And
when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which
had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but
in the tombs. |
| 008:028 | When
he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice
said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech
thee, torment me not. |
| 008:029 | (For
he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes
it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he
brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) |
| 008:030 | And
Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many
devils were entered into him. |
| 008:031 | And
they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. |
| 008:032 | And
there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought
him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. |
| 008:033 | Then
went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran
violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. |
| 008:034 | When
they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the
city and in the country. |
| 008:035 | Then
they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out
of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and
in his right mind: and they were afraid. |
| 008:036 | They
also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils
was healed. |
| 008:037 | Then
the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him
to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into
the ship, and returned back again. |
| 008:038 | Now
the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be
with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, |
| 008:039 | Return
to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And
he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus
had done unto him. |
| 008:040 | And
it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received
him: for they were all waiting for him. |
| 008:041 | And,
behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue:
and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his
house: |
| 008:042 | For
he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But
as he went the people thronged him. |
| 008:043 | And
a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living
upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, |
| 008:044 | Came
behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue
of blood stanched. |
| 008:045 | And
Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with
him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou,
Who touched me? |
| 008:046 | And
Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out
of me. |
| 008:047 | And
when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down
before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she
had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. |
| 008:048 | And
he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole;
go in peace. |
| 008:049 | While
he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying
to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. |
| 008:050 | But
when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she
shall be made whole. |
| 008:051 | And
when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James,
and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. |
| 008:052 | And
all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
|
| 008:053 | And
they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. |
| 008:054 | And
he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
|
| 008:055 | And
her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give
her meat. |
| 008:056 | And
her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man
what was done. |
|
| 009:001
| Then
he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority
over all devils, and to cure diseases. | | 009:002 | And
he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. |
| 009:003 | And
he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip,
neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. |
| 009:004 | And
whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. |
| 009:005 | And
whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the
very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. |
| 009:006 | And
they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing
every where. |
| 009:007 | Now
Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed,
because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; |
| 009:008 | And
of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets
was risen again. |
| 009:009 | And
Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things?
And he desired to see him. |
| 009:010 | And
the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And
he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the
city called Bethsaida. |
| 009:011 | And
the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake
unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
|
| 009:012 | And
when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send
the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about,
and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. |
| 009:013 | But
he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but
five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
|
| 009:014 | For
they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them
sit down by fifties in a company. |
| 009:015 | And
they did so, and made them all sit down. |
| 009:016 | Then
he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed
them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. |
| 009:017 | And
they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that
remained to them twelve baskets. |
| 009:018 | And
it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and
he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? |
| 009:019 | They
answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that
one of the old prophets is risen again. |
| 009:020 | He
said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ
of God. |
| 009:021 | And
he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; |
| 009:022 | Saying,
The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. |
| 009:023 | And
he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross daily, and follow me. |
| 009:024 | For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life
for my sake, the same shall save it. |
| 009:025 | For
what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or
be cast away? |
| 009:026 | For
whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man
be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of
the holy angels. |
| 009:027 | But
I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of
death, till they see the kingdom of God. |
| 009:028 | And
it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and
John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. |
| 009:029 | And
as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was
white and glistering. |
| 009:030 | And,
behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: |
| 009:031 | Who
appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
|
| 009:032 | But
Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were
awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. |
| 009:033 | And
it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master,
it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee,
and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. |
| 009:034 | While
he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as
they entered into the cloud. |
| 009:035 | And
there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
|
| 009:036 | And
when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and
told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen. |
| 009:037 | And
it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill,
much people met him. |
| 009:038 | And,
behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look
upon my son: for he is mine only child. |
| 009:039 | And,
lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that
he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. |
| 009:040 | And
I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. |
| 009:041 | And
Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I
be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. |
| 009:042 | And
as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked
the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
|
| 009:043 | And
they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every
one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, |
| 009:044 | Let
these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered
into the hands of men. |
| 009:045 | But
they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived
it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying. |
| 009:046 | Then
there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. |
| 009:047 | And
Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by
him, |
| 009:048 | And
said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me:
and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least
among you all, the same shall be great. |
| 009:049 | And
John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name;
and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. |
| 009:050 | And
Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
|
| 009:051 | And
it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly
set his face to go to Jerusalem, |
| 009:052 | And
sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village
of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. |
| 009:053 | And
they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
|
| 009:054 | And
when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that
we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
|
| 009:055 | But
he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye
are of. |
| 009:056 | For
the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they
went to another village. |
| 009:057 | And
it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him,
Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. |
| 009:058 | And
Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but
the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. |
| 009:059 | And
he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and
bury my father. |
| 009:060 | Jesus
said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom
of God. |
| 009:061 | And
another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell,
which are at home at my house. |
| 009:062 | And
Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking
back, is fit for the kingdom of God. |
|
| 010:001
| After
these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two
before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. | | 010:002 | Therefore
said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray
ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into
his harvest. |
| 010:003 | Go
your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. |
| 010:004 | Carry
neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. |
| 010:005 | And
into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. |
| 010:006 | And
if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall
turn to you again. |
| 010:007 | And
in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for
the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. |
| 010:008 | And
into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are
set before you: |
| 010:009 | And
heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come
nigh unto you. |
| 010:010 | But
into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into
the streets of the same, and say, |
| 010:011 | Even
the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you:
notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto
you. |
| 010:012 | But
I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than
for that city. |
| 010:013 | Woe
unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had
been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great
while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. |
| 010:014 | But
it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
|
| 010:015 | And
thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
|
| 010:016 | He
that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he
that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. |
| 010:017 | And
the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject
unto us through thy name. |
| 010:018 | And
he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. |
| 010:019 | Behold,
I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. |
| 010:020 | Notwithstanding
in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice,
because your names are written in heaven. |
| 010:021 | In
that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord
of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in
thy sight. |
| 010:022 | All
things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is,
but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son
will reveal him. |
| 010:023 | And
he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes
which see the things that ye see: |
| 010:024 | For
I tell you, that many prophets and kings 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. |
| 010:025 | And,
behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall
I do to inherit eternal life? |
| 010:026 | He
said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? |
| 010:027 | And
he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy
neighbour as thyself. |
| 010:028 | And
he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. |
| 010:029 | But
he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? |
| 010:030 | And
Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and
fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and
departed, leaving him half dead. |
| 010:031 | And
by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he
passed by on the other side. |
| 010:032 | And
likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed
by on the other side. |
| 010:033 | But
a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him,
he had compassion on him, |
| 010:034 | And
went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him
on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. |
| 010:035 | And
on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the
host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more,
when I come again, I will repay thee. |
| 010:036 | Which
now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the
thieves? |
| 010:037 | And
he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do
thou likewise. |
| 010:038 | Now
it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and
a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. |
| 010:039 | And
she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his
word. |
| 010:040 | But
Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost
thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore
that she help me. |
| 010:041 | And
Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled
about many things: |
| 010:042 | But
one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not
be taken away from her. |
|
| 011:001
| And
it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased,
one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught
his disciples. | | 011:002 | And
he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed
be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
|
| 011:003 | Give
us day by day our daily bread. |
| 011:004 | And
forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. |
| 011:005 | And
he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him
at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; |
| 011:006 | For
a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before
him? |
| 011:007 | And
he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut,
and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. |
| 011:008 | I
say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend,
yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
|
| 011:009 | And
I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you. |
| 011:010 | For
every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened. |
| 011:011 | If
a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?
or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? |
| 011:012 | Or
if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? |
| 011:013 | If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much
more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
|
| 011:014 | And
he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the
devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. |
| 011:015 | But
some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the
devils. |
| 011:016 | And
others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. |
| 011:017 | But
he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself
is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. |
| 011:018 | If
Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because
ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. |
| 011:019 | And
if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore
shall they be your judges. |
| 011:020 | But
if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is
come upon you. |
| 011:021 | When
a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: |
| 011:022 | But
when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from
him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. |
| 011:023 | He
that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
|
| 011:024 | When
the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking
rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came
out. |
| 011:025 | And
when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. |
| 011:026 | Then
goeth he, and taketh to him 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. |
| 011:027 | And
it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted
up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the
paps which thou hast sucked. |
| 011:028 | But
he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
|
| 011:029 | And
when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil
generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the
sign of Jonas the prophet. |
| 011:030 | For
as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to
this generation. |
| 011:031 | The
queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation,
and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the
wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. |
| 011:032 | The
men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall
condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater
than Jonas is here. |
| 011:033 | No
man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under
a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
|
| 011:034 | The
light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole
body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full
of darkness. |
| 011:035 | Take
heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. |
| 011:036 | If
thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall
be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
|
| 011:037 | And
as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went
in, and sat down to meat. |
| 011:038 | And
when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before
dinner. |
| 011:039 | And
the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup
and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. |
| 011:040 | Ye
fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within
also? |
| 011:041 | But
rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean
unto you. |
| 011:042 | But
woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs,
and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and
not to leave the other undone. |
| 011:043 | Woe
unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and
greetings in the markets. |
| 011:044 | Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear
not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. |
| 011:045 | Then
answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest
us also. |
| 011:046 | And
he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous
to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
|
| 011:047 | Woe
unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed
them. |
| 011:048 | Truly
ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed
them, and ye build their sepulchres. |
| 011:049 | Therefore
also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some
of them they shall slay and persecute: |
| 011:050 | That
the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world,
may be required of this generation; |
| 011:051 | From
the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar
and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
|
| 011:052 | Woe
unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered
not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. |
| 011:053 | And
as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge
him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: |
| 011:054 | Laying
wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might
accuse him. |
|
| 012:001
| In
the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of
people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his
disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is
hypocrisy. | | 012:002 | For
there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall
not be known. |
| 012:003 | Therefore
whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that
which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
|
| 012:004 | And
I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after
that have no more that they can do. |
| 012:005 | But
I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed
hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. |
| 012:006 | Are
not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten
before God? |
| 012:007 | But
even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are
of more value than many sparrows. |
| 012:008 | Also
I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of
man also confess before the angels of God: |
| 012:009 | But
he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. |
| 012:010 | And
whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him:
but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
|
| 012:011 | And
when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers,
take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
|
| 012:012 | For
the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. |
| 012:013 | And
one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide
the inheritance with me. |
| 012:014 | And
he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? |
| 012:015 | And
he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life
consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. |
| 012:016 | And
he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought
forth plentifully: |
| 012:017 | And
he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room
where to bestow my fruits? |
| 012:018 | And
he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and
there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. |
| 012:019 | And
I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take
thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. |
| 012:020 | But
God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee:
then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? |
| 012:021 | So
is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. |
| 012:022 | And
he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your
life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. |
| 012:023 | The
life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. |
| 012:024 | Consider
the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor
barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? |
| 012:025 | And
which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? |
| 012:026 | If
ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for
the rest? |
| 012:027 | Consider
the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto
you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. |
| 012:028 | If
then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is
cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
|
| 012:029 | And
seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful
mind. |
| 012:030 | For
all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth
that ye have need of these things. |
| 012:031 | But
rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto
you. |
| 012:032 | Fear
not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
|
| 012:033 | Sell
that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure
in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
|
| 012:034 | For
where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. |
| 012:035 | Let
your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; |
| 012:036 | And
ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from
the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
|
| 012:037 | Blessed
are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily
I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat,
and will come forth and serve them. |
| 012:038 | And
if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find
them so, blessed are those servants. |
| 012:039 | And
this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would
come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
|
| 012:040 | Be
ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think
not. |
| 012:041 | Then
Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
|
| 012:042 | And
the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall
make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
|
| 012:043 | Blessed
is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. |
| 012:044 | Of
a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
|
| 012:045 | But
and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall
begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be
drunken; |
| 012:046 | The
lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at
an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint
him his portion with the unbelievers. |
| 012:047 | And
that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither
did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. |
| 012:048 | But
he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten
with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:
and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. |
| 012:049 | I
am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
|
| 012:050 | But
I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
|
| 012:051 | Suppose
ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
|
| 012:052 | For
from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two,
and two against three. |
| 012:053 | The
father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the
mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother
in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother
in law. |
| 012:054 | And
he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway
ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. |
| 012:055 | And
when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh
to pass. |
| 012:056 | Ye
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is
it that ye do not discern this time? |
| 012:057 | Yea,
and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? |
| 012:058 | When
thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way,
give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to
the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast
thee into prison. |
| 012:059 | I
tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last
mite. |
|
| 013:001
| There
were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood
Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. | | 013:002 | And
Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners
above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? |
| 013:003 | I
tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. |
| 013:004 | Or
those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye
that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? |
| 013:005 | I
tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. |
| 013:006 | He
spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard;
and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. |
| 013:007 | Then
said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come
seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it
the ground? |
| 013:008 | And
he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall
dig about it, and dung it: |
| 013:009 | And
if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
|
| 013:010 | And
he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. |
| 013:011 | And,
behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and
was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. |
| 013:012 | And
when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art
loosed from thine infirmity. |
| 013:013 | And
he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified
God. |
| 013:014 | And
the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had
healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in
which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the
sabbath day. |
| 013:015 | The
Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you
on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to
watering? |
| 013:016 | And
ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo,
these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? |
| 013:017 | And
when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the
people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. |
| 013:018 | Then
said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble
it? |
| 013:019 | It
is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden;
and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the
branches of it. |
| 013:020 | And
again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? |
| 013:021 | It
is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till
the whole was leavened. |
| 013:022 | And
he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
|
| 013:023 | Then
said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
|
| 013:024 | Strive
to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter
in, and shall not be able. |
| 013:025 | When
once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye
begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open
unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
|
| 013:026 | Then
shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast
taught in our streets. |
| 013:027 | But
he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all
ye workers of iniquity. |
| 013:028 | There
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac,
and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves
thrust out. |
| 013:029 | And
they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from
the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. |
| 013:030 | And,
behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall
be last. |
| 013:031 | The
same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out,
and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. |
| 013:032 | And
he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and
I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. |
| 013:033 | Nevertheless
I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be
that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. |
| 013:034 | O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are
sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a
hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! |
| 013:035 | Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not
see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord. |
|
| 014:001
| And
it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to
eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. | | 014:002 | And,
behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. |
| 014:003 | And
Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful
to heal on the sabbath day? |
| 014:004 | And
they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; |
| 014:005 | And
answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into
a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? |
| 014:006 | And
they could not answer him again to these things. |
| 014:007 | And
he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they
chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them. |
| 014:008 | When
thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room;
lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; |
| 014:009 | And
he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou
begin with shame to take the lowest room. |
| 014:010 | But
when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that
bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou
have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. |
| 014:011 | For
whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall
be exalted. |
| 014:012 | Then
said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call
not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours;
lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. |
| 014:013 | But
when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: |
| 014:014 | And
thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed
at the resurrection of the just. |
| 014:015 | And
when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto
him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. |
| 014:016 | Then
said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: |
| 014:017 | And
sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for
all things are now ready. |
| 014:018 | And
they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I
have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee
have me excused. |
| 014:019 | And
another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray
thee have me excused. |
| 014:020 | And
another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. |
| 014:021 | So
that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the
house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and
lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt,
and the blind. |
| 014:022 | And
the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is
room. |
| 014:023 | And
the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel
them to come in, that my house may be filled. |
| 014:024 | For
I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my
supper. |
| 014:025 | And
there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, |
| 014:026 | If
any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,
and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
|
| 014:027 | And
whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
|
| 014:028 | For
which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth
the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? |
| 014:029 | Lest
haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all
that behold it begin to mock him, |
| 014:030 | Saying,
This man began to build, and was not able to finish. |
| 014:031 | Or
what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first,
and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh
against him with twenty thousand? |
| 014:032 | Or
else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and
desireth conditions of peace. |
| 014:033 | So
likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot
be my disciple. |
| 014:034 | Salt
is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
|
| 014:035 | It
is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
|
| 015:001
| Then
drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. | | 015:002 | And
the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and
eateth with them. |
| 015:003 | And
he spake this parable unto them, saying, |
| 015:004 | What
man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave
the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until
he find it? |
| 015:005 | And
when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. |
| 015:006 | And
when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying
unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. |
| 015:007 | I
say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth,
more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. |
| 015:008 | Either
what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light
a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? |
| 015:009 | And
when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together,
saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. |
| 015:010 | Likewise,
I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth. |
| 015:011 | And
he said, A certain man had two sons: |
| 015:012 | And
the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods
that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. |
| 015:013 | And
not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey
into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. |
| 015:014 | And
when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began
to be in want. |
| 015:015 | And
he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into
his fields to feed swine. |
| 015:016 | And
he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat:
and no man gave unto him. |
| 015:017 | And
when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have
bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! |
| 015:018 | I
will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and before thee, |
| 015:019 | And
am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
|
| 015:020 | And
he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his
father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed
him. |
| 015:021 | And
the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight,
and am no more worthy to be called thy son. |
| 015:022 | But
the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him;
and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: |
| 015:023 | And
bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: |
| 015:024 | For
this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they
began to be merry. |
| 015:025 | Now
his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house,
he heard musick and dancing. |
| 015:026 | And
he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. |
| 015:027 | And
he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted
calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. |
| 015:028 | And
he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated
him. |
| 015:029 | And
he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither
transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a
kid, that I might make merry with my friends: |
| 015:030 | But
as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots,
thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. |
| 015:031 | And
he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
|
| 015:032 | It
was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead,
and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. |
|
| 016:001
| And
he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a
steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. | | 016:002 | And
he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give
an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. |
| 016:003 | Then
the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from
me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. |
| 016:004 | I
am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may
receive me into their houses. |
| 016:005 | So
he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first,
How much owest thou unto my lord? |
| 016:006 | And
he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and
sit down quickly, and write fifty. |
| 016:007 | Then
said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures
of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. |
| 016:008 | And
the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the
children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
|
| 016:009 | And
I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness;
that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. |
| 016:010 | He
that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that
is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. |
| 016:011 | If
therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit
to your trust the true riches? |
| 016:012 | And
if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give
you that which is your own? |
| 016:013 | No
servant 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. |
| 016:014 | And
the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided
him. |
| 016:015 | And
he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God
knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination
in the sight of God. |
| 016:016 | The
law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is
preached, and every man presseth into it. |
| 016:017 | And
it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
|
| 016:018 | Whosoever
putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever
marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. |
| 016:019 | There
was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared
sumptuously every day: |
| 016:020 | And
there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full
of sores, |
| 016:021 | And
desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover
the dogs came and licked his sores. |
| 016:022 | And
it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's
bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; |
| 016:023 | And
in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off,
and Lazarus in his bosom. |
| 016:024 | And
he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that
he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented
in this flame. |
| 016:025 | But
Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things,
and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
|
| 016:026 | And
beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they
which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that
would come from thence. |
| 016:027 | Then
he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's
house: |
| 016:028 | For
I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into
this place of torment. |
| 016:029 | Abraham
saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. |
| 016:030 | And
he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they
will repent. |
| 016:031 | And
he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they
be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. |
|
| 017:001
| Then
said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but
woe unto him, through whom they come! | | 017:002 | It
were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast
into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. |
| 017:003 | Take
heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if
he repent, forgive him. |
| 017:004 | And
if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day
turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. |
| 017:005 | And
the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. |
| 017:006 | And
the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto
this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in
the sea; and it should obey you. |
| 017:007 | But
which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him
by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? |
| 017:008 | And
will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself,
and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and
drink? |
| 017:009 | Doth
he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I
trow not. |
| 017:010 | So
likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you,
say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to
do. |
| 017:011 | And
it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst
of Samaria and Galilee. |
| 017:012 | And
as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers,
which stood afar off: |
| 017:013 | And
they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. |
| 017:014 | And
when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And
it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. |
| 017:015 | And
one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice
glorified God, |
| 017:016 | And
fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
|
| 017:017 | And
Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
|
| 017:018 | There
are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. |
| 017:019 | And
he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. |
| 017:020 | And
when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come,
he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
|
| 017:021 | Neither
shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within
you. |
| 017:022 | And
he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see
one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. |
| 017:023 | And
they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow
them. |
| 017:024 | For
as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth
unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
|
| 017:025 | But
first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. |
| 017:026 | And
as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of
man. |
| 017:027 | They
did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until
the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them
all. |
| 017:028 | Likewise
also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they
sold, they planted, they builded; |
| 017:029 | But
the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,
and destroyed them all. |
| 017:030 | Even
thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. |
| 017:031 | In
that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house,
let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him
likewise not return back. |
| 017:032 | Remember
Lot's wife. |
| 017:033 | Whosoever
shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life
shall preserve it. |
| 017:034 | I
tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be
taken, and the other shall be left. |
| 017:035 | Two
women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
|
| 017:036 | Two
men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. |
| 017:037 | And
they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever
the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. |
|
| 018:001
| And
he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and
not to faint; | | 018:002 | Saying,
There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: |
| 018:003 | And
there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of
mine adversary. |
| 018:004 | And
he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear
not God, nor regard man; |
| 018:005 | Yet
because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming
she weary me. |
| 018:006 | And
the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. |
| 018:007 | And
shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though
he bear long with them? |
| 018:008 | I
tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man
cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? |
| 018:009 | And
he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were
righteous, and despised others: |
| 018:010 | Two
men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
|
| 018:011 | The
Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not
as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
|
| 018:012 | I
fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. |
| 018:013 | And
the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto
heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
|
| 018:014 | I
tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other:
for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted. |
| 018:015 | And
they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his
disciples saw it, they rebuked them. |
| 018:016 | But
Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. |
| 018:017 | Verily
I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child shall in no wise enter therein. |
| 018:018 | And
a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit
eternal life? |
| 018:019 | And
Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that
is, God. |
| 018:020 | Thou
knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal,
Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. |
| 018:021 | And
he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. |
| 018:022 | Now
when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing:
sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. |
| 018:023 | And
when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. |
| 018:024 | And
when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that
have riches enter into the kingdom of God! |
| 018:025 | For
it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man
to enter into the kingdom of God. |
| 018:026 | And
they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? |
| 018:027 | And
he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. |
| 018:028 | Then
Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. |
| 018:029 | And
he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house,
or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
|
| 018:030 | Who
shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come
life everlasting. |
| 018:031 | Then
he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem,
and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall
be accomplished. |
| 018:032 | For
he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully
entreated, and spitted on: |
| 018:033 | And
they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise
again. |
| 018:034 | And
they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither
knew they the things which were spoken. |
| 018:035 | And
it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man
sat by the way side begging: |
| 018:036 | And
hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. |
| 018:037 | And
they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. |
| 018:038 | And
he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. |
| 018:039 | And
they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried
so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. |
| 018:040 | And
Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come
near, he asked him, |
| 018:041 | Saying,
What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive
my sight. |
| 018:042 | And
Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. |
| 018:043 | And
immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all
the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. |
|
| 019:001
| And
Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. | | 019:002 | And,
behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans,
and he was rich. |
| 019:003 | And
he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he
was little of stature. |
| 019:004 | And
he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to
pass that way. |
| 019:005 | And
when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him,
Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
|
| 019:006 | And
he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. |
| 019:007 | And
when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with
a man that is a sinner. |
| 019:008 | And
Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods
I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation,
I restore him fourfold. |
| 019:009 | And
Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as
he also is a son of Abraham. |
| 019:010 | For
the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. |
| 019:011 | And
as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh
to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately
appear. |
| 019:012 | He
said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself
a kingdom, and to return. |
| 019:013 | And
he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them,
Occupy till I come. |
| 019:014 | But
his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have
this man to reign over us. |
| 019:015 | And
it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then
he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the
money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. |
| 019:016 | Then
came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. |
| 019:017 | And
he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful
in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. |
| 019:018 | And
the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. |
| 019:019 | And
he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. |
| 019:020 | And
another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid
up in a napkin: |
| 019:021 | For
I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst
not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. |
| 019:022 | And
he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant.
Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and
reaping that I did not sow: |
| 019:023 | Wherefore
then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have
required mine own with usury? |
| 019:024 | And
he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him
that hath ten pounds. |
| 019:025 | (And
they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) |
| 019:026 | For
I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him
that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. |
| 019:027 | But
those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither,
and slay them before me. |
| 019:028 | And
when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. |
| 019:029 | And
it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount
called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, |
| 019:030 | Saying,
Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall
find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
|
| 019:031 | And
if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because
the Lord hath need of him. |
| 019:032 | And
they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
|
| 019:033 | And
as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose
ye the colt? |
| 019:034 | And
they said, The Lord hath need of him. |
| 019:035 | And
they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and
they set Jesus thereon. |
| 019:036 | And
as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. |
| 019:037 | And
when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the
whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud
voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; |
| 019:038 | Saying,
Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and
glory in the highest. |
| 019:039 | And
some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke
thy disciples. |
| 019:040 | And
he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their
peace, the stones would immediately cry out. |
| 019:041 | And
when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, |
| 019:042 | Saying,
If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which
belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. |
| 019:043 | For
the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about
thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, |
| 019:044 | And
shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they
shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the
time of thy visitation. |
| 019:045 | And
he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and
them that bought; |
| 019:046 | Saying
unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made
it a den of thieves. |
| 019:047 | And
he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the
chief of the people sought to destroy him, |
| 019:048 | And
could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to
hear him. |
|
| 020:001
| And
it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the
temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon
him with the elders, | | 020:002 | And
spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things?
or who is he that gave thee this authority? |
| 020:003 | And
he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
|
| 020:004 | The
baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? |
| 020:005 | And
they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will
say, Why then believed ye him not? |
| 020:006 | But
and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded
that John was a prophet. |
| 020:007 | And
they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. |
| 020:008 | And
Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
|
| 020:009 | Then
began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard,
and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
|
| 020:010 | And
at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him
of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away
empty. |
| 020:011 | And
again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully,
and sent him away empty. |
| 020:012 | And
again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. |
| 020:013 | Then
said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son:
it may be they will reverence him when they see him. |
| 020:014 | But
when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is
the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. |
| 020:015 | So
they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the
lord of the vineyard do unto them? |
| 020:016 | He
shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others.
And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. |
| 020:017 | And
he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which
the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? |
| 020:018 | Whosoever
shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall,
it will grind him to powder. |
| 020:019 | And
the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him;
and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable
against them. |
| 020:020 | And
they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just
men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him
unto the power and authority of the governor. |
| 020:021 | And
they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly,
neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
|
| 020:022 | Is
it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? |
| 020:023 | But
he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? |
| 020:024 | Shew
me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said,
Caesar's. |
| 020:025 | And
he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's,
and unto God the things which be God's. |
| 020:026 | And
they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled
at his answer, and held their peace. |
| 020:027 | Then
came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection;
and they asked him, |
| 020:028 | Saying,
Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he
die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed
unto his brother. |
| 020:029 | There
were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without
children. |
| 020:030 | And
the second took her to wife, and he died childless. |
| 020:031 | And
the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children,
and died. |
| 020:032 | Last
of all the woman died also. |
| 020:033 | Therefore
in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. |
| 020:034 | And
Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given
in marriage: |
| 020:035 | But
they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection
from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: |
| 020:036 | Neither
can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children
of God, being the children of the resurrection. |
| 020:037 | Now
that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the
Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. |
| 020:038 | For
he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. |
| 020:039 | Then
certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. |
| 020:040 | And
after that they durst not ask him any question at all. |
| 020:041 | And
he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? |
| 020:042 | And
David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit
thou on my right hand, |
| 020:043 | Till
I make thine enemies thy footstool. |
| 020:044 | David
therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? |
| 020:045 | Then
in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, |
| 020:046 | Beware
of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the
markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
|
| 020:047 | Which
devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive
greater damnation. |
|
| 021:001
| And
he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. | | 021:002 | And
he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. |
| 021:003 | And
he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more
than they all: |
| 021:004 | For
all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she
of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. |
| 021:005 | And
as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts,
he said, |
| 021:006 | As
for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall
not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. |
| 021:007 | And
they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign
will there be when these things shall come to pass? |
| 021:008 | And
he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
|
| 021:009 | But
when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things
must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. |
| 021:010 | Then
said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
|
| 021:011 | And
great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences;
and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. |
| 021:012 | But
before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering
you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and
rulers for my name's sake. |
| 021:013 | And
it shall turn to you for a testimony. |
| 021:014 | Settle
it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: |
| 021:015 | For
I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be
able to gainsay nor resist. |
| 021:016 | And
ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends;
and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. |
| 021:017 | And
ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. |
| 021:018 | But
there shall not an hair of your head perish. |
| 021:019 | In
your patience possess ye your souls. |
| 021:020 | And
when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation
thereof is nigh. |
| 021:021 | Then
let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are
in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter
thereinto. |
| 021:022 | For
these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
|
| 021:023 | But
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days!
for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
|
| 021:024 | And
they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into
all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the
times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. |
| 021:025 | And
there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
|
| 021:026 | Men's
hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. |
| 021:027 | And
then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
|
| 021:028 | And
when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh. |
| 021:029 | And
he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; |
| 021:030 | When
they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now
nigh at hand. |
| 021:031 | So
likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom
of God is nigh at hand. |
| 021:032 | Verily
I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
|
| 021:033 | Heaven
and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. |
| 021:034 | And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting,
and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
|
| 021:035 | For
as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
|
| 021:036 | Watch
ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all
these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. |
| 021:037 | And
in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and
abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. |
| 021:038 | And
all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear
him. |
|
| 022:001
| Now
the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. | | 022:002 | And
the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared
the people. |
| 022:003 | Then
entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
|
| 022:004 | And
he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might
betray him unto them. |
| 022:005 | And
they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. |
| 022:006 | And
he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence
of the multitude. |
| 022:007 | Then
came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. |
| 022:008 | And
he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may
eat. |
| 022:009 | And
they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? |
| 022:010 | And
he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a
man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he
entereth in. |
| 022:011 | And
ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where
is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? |
| 022:012 | And
he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. |
| 022:013 | And
they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
|
| 022:014 | And
when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. |
| 022:015 | And
he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you
before I suffer: |
| 022:016 | For
I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the
kingdom of God. |
| 022:017 | And
he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among
yourselves: |
| 022:018 | For
I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom
of God shall come. |
| 022:019 | And
he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This
is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. |
| 022:020 | Likewise
also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood,
which is shed for you. |
| 022:021 | But,
behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. |
| 022:022 | And
truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by
whom he is betrayed! |
| 022:023 | And
they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do
this thing. |
| 022:024 | And
there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
|
| 022:025 | And
he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and
they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. |
| 022:026 | But
ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger;
and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. |
| 022:027 | For
whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he
that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. |
| 022:028 | Ye
are they which have continued with me in my temptations. |
| 022:029 | And
I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; |
| 022:030 | That
ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging
the twelve tribes of Israel. |
| 022:031 | And
the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he
may sift you as wheat: |
| 022:032 | But
I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted,
strengthen thy brethren. |
| 022:033 | And
he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to
death. |
| 022:034 | And
he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that
thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. |
| 022:035 | And
he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked
ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. |
| 022:036 | Then
said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise
his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
|
| 022:037 | For
I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And
he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have
an end. |
| 022:038 | And
they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is
enough. |
| 022:039 | And
he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples
also followed him. |
| 022:040 | And
when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
|
| 022:041 | And
he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
|
| 022:042 | Saying,
Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will,
but thine, be done. |
| 022:043 | And
there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. |
| 022:044 | And
being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great
drops of blood falling down to the ground. |
| 022:045 | And
when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping
for sorrow, |
| 022:046 | And
said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
|
| 022:047 | And
while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of
the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. |
| 022:048 | But
Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? |
| 022:049 | When
they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord,
shall we smite with the sword? |
| 022:050 | And
one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
|
| 022:051 | And
Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed
him. |
| 022:052 | Then
Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders,
which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and
staves? |
| 022:053 | When
I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me:
but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. |
| 022:054 | Then
took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And
Peter followed afar off. |
| 022:055 | And
when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together,
Peter sat down among them. |
| 022:056 | But
a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon
him, and said, This man was also with him. |
| 022:057 | And
he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. |
| 022:058 | And
after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And
Peter said, Man, I am not. |
| 022:059 | And
about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of
a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. |
| 022:060 | And
Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet
spake, the cock crew. |
| 022:061 | And
the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the
Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
|
| 022:062 | And
Peter went out, and wept bitterly. |
| 022:063 | And
the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. |
| 022:064 | And
when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him,
saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? |
| 022:065 | And
many other things blasphemously spake they against him. |
| 022:066 | And
as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the
scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, |
| 022:067 | Art
thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not
believe: |
| 022:068 | And
if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. |
| 022:069 | Hereafter
shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. |
| 022:070 | Then
said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say
that I am. |
| 022:071 | And
they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of
his own mouth. |
|
| 023:001
| And
the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. | | 023:002 | And
they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation,
and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ
a King. |
| 023:003 | And
Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him
and said, Thou sayest it. |
| 023:004 | Then
said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this
man. |
| 023:005 | And
they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout
all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. |
| 023:006 | When
Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. |
| 023:007 | And
as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him
to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. |
| 023:008 | And
when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him
of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to
have seen some miracle done by him. |
| 023:009 | Then
he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. |
| 023:010 | And
the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. |
| 023:011 | And
Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him
in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. |
| 023:012 | And
the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were
at enmity between themselves. |
| 023:013 | And
Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the
people, |
| 023:014 | Said
unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people:
and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this
man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: |
| 023:015 | No,
nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done
unto him. |
| 023:016 | I
will therefore chastise him, and release him. |
| 023:017 | (For
of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) |
| 023:018 | And
they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us
Barabbas: |
| 023:019 | (Who
for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
|
| 023:020 | Pilate
therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. |
| 023:021 | But
they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. |
| 023:022 | And
he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found
no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. |
| 023:023 | And
they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And
the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. |
| 023:024 | And
Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. |
| 023:025 | And
he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison,
whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. |
| 023:026 | And
as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out
of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after
Jesus. |
| 023:027 | And
there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed
and lamented him. |
| 023:028 | But
Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but
weep for yourselves, and for your children. |
| 023:029 | For,
behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren,
and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. |
| 023:030 | Then
shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover
us. |
| 023:031 | For
if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
| 023:032 | And
there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. |
| 023:033 | And
when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified
him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
|
| 023:034 | Then
said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they
parted his raiment, and cast lots. |
| 023:035 | And
the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying,
He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
|
| 023:036 | And
the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, |
| 023:037 | And
saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. |
| 023:038 | And
a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin,
and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| 023:039 | And
one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be
Christ, save thyself and us. |
| 023:040 | But
the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou
art in the same condemnation? |
| 023:041 | And
we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man
hath done nothing amiss. |
| 023:042 | And
he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. |
| 023:043 | And
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in
paradise. |
| 023:044 | And
it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until
the ninth hour. |
| 023:045 | And
the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. |
| 023:046 | And
when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend
my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. |
| 023:047 | Now
when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this
was a righteous man. |
| 023:048 | And
all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which
were done, smote their breasts, and returned. |
| 023:049 | And
all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar
off, beholding these things. |
| 023:050 | And,
behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man,
and a just: |
| 023:051 | (The
same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea,
a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. |
| 023:052 | This
man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. |
| 023:053 | And
he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was
hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. |
| 023:054 | And
that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. |
| 023:055 | And
the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld
the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. |
| 023:056 | And
they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day
according to the commandment. |
|
| 024:001
| Now
upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the
sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others
with them. | | 024:002 | And
they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. |
| 024:003 | And
they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. |
| 024:004 | And
it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood
by them in shining garments: |
| 024:005 | And
as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto
them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? |
| 024:006 | He
is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in
Galilee, |
| 024:007 | Saying,
The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified,
and the third day rise again. |
| 024:008 | And
they remembered his words, |
| 024:009 | And
returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and
to all the rest. |
| 024:010 | It
was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women
that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. |
| 024:011 | And
their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. |
| 024:012 | Then
arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen
clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which
was come to pass. |
| 024:013 | And,
behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was
from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. |
| 024:014 | And
they talked together of all these things which had happened. |
| 024:015 | And
it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself
drew near, and went with them. |
| 024:016 | But
their eyes were holden that they should not know him. |
| 024:017 | And
he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one
to another, as ye walk, and are sad? |
| 024:018 | And
the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou
only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come
to pass there in these days? |
| 024:019 | And
he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of
Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the
people: |
| 024:020 | And
how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death,
and have crucified him. |
| 024:021 | But
we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside
all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. |
| 024:022 | Yea,
and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early
at the sepulchre; |
| 024:023 | And
when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a
vision of angels, which said that he was alive. |
| 024:024 | And
certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even
so as the women had said: but him they saw not. |
| 024:025 | Then
he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets
have spoken: |
| 024:026 | Ought
not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? |
| 024:027 | And
beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the
scriptures the things concerning himself. |
| 024:028 | And
they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he
would have gone further. |
| 024:029 | But
they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and
the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. |
| 024:030 | And
it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it,
and brake, and gave to them. |
| 024:031 | And
their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
|
| 024:032 | And
they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked
with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? |
| 024:033 | And
they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven
gathered together, and them that were with them, |
| 024:034 | Saying,
The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. |
| 024:035 | And
they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in
breaking of bread. |
| 024:036 | And
as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto
them, Peace be unto you. |
| 024:037 | But
they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
|
| 024:038 | And
he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
|
| 024:039 | Behold
my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit
hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. |
| 024:040 | And
when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. |
| 024:041 | And
while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have
ye here any meat? |
| 024:042 | And
they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. |
| 024:043 | And
he took it, and did eat before them. |
| 024:044 | And
he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was
yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the
law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. |
| 024:045 | Then
opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, |
| 024:046 | And
said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and
to rise from the dead the third day: |
| 024:047 | And
that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among
all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. |
| 024:048 | And
ye are witnesses of these things. |
| 024:049 | And,
behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city
of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. |
| 024:050 | And
he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed
them. |
| 024:051 | And
it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried
up into heaven. |
| 024:052 | And
they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: |
| 024:053 | And
were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. |
