for we have + seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. + +40:002:003 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, + and all Jerusalem with him. + +40:002:004 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of + the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should + be born. + +40:002:005 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is + written by the prophet, + +40:002:006 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least + among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a + Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. + +40:002:007 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired + of them diligently what time the star appeared. + +40:002:008 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search + diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, + bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. + +40:002:009 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the + star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it + came and stood over where the young child was. + +40:002:010 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great + joy. + +40:002:011 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young + child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: + and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto + him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. + +40:002:012 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return + to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. + +40:002:013 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord + appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the + young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou + there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young + child to destroy him. + +40:002:014 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by + night, and departed into Egypt: + +40:002:015 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be + fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, + Out of Egypt have I called my son. + +40:002:016 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, + was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children + that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from + two years old and under, according to the time which he had + diligently enquired of the wise men. + +40:002:017 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the + prophet, saying, + +40:002:018 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and + great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not + be comforted, because they are not. + +40:002:019 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord + appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, + +40:002:020 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go + into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the + young child's life. + +40:002:021 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and + came into the land of Israel. + +40:002:022 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the + room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: + notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned + aside into the parts of Galilee: + +40:002:023 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might + be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be + called a Nazarene. + +40:003:001 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the + wilderness of Judaea, + +40:003:002 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. + +40:003:003 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, + saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye + the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. + +40:003:004 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a + leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and + wild honey. + +40:003:005 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the + region round about Jordan, + +40:003:006 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. + +40:003:007 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to + his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who + hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? + +40:003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: + +40:003:009 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our + father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones + to raise up children unto Abraham. + +40:003:010 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: + therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is + hewn down, and cast into the fire. + +40:003:011 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that + cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not + worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and + with fire: + +40:003:012 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his + floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn + up the chaff with unquenchable fire. + +40:003:013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be + baptized of him. + +40:003:014 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of + thee, and comest thou to me? + +40:003:015 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for + thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he + suffered him. + +40:003:016 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of + the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he + saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting + upon him: + +40:003:017 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in + whom I am well pleased. + +40:004:001 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be + tempted of the devil. + +40:004:002 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was + afterward an hungred. + +40:004:003 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son + of God, command that these stones be made bread. + +40:004:004 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by + bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the + mouth of God. + +40:004:005 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth + him on a pinnacle of the temple, + +40:004:006 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself + down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge + concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, + lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. + +40:004:007 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt + the Lord thy God. + +40:004:008 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high + mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and + the glory of them; + +40:004:009 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou + wilt fall down and worship me. + +40:004:010 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is + written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only + shalt thou serve. + +40:004:011 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and + ministered unto him. + +40:004:012 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he + departed into Galilee; + +40:004:013 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is + upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: + +40:004:014 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the + prophet, saying, + +40:004:015 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of + the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; + +40:004:016 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them + which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung + up. + +40:004:017 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for + the kingdom of heaven is at hand. + +40:004:018 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, + Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into + the sea: for they were fishers. + +40:004:019 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers + of men. + +40:004:020 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. + +40:004:021 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the + son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee + their father, mending their nets; and he called them. + +40:004:022 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and + followed him. + +40:004:023 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their + synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and + healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among + the people. + +40:004:024 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto + him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and + torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and + those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and + he healed them. + +40:004:025 And there followed him great multitudes of people from + Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from + Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. + +40:005:001 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and + when he was set, his disciples came unto him: + +40:005:002 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, + +40:005:003 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of + heaven. + +40:005:004 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. + +40:005:005 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. + +40:005:006 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after + righteousness: for they shall be filled. + +40:005:007 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. + +40:005:008 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. + +40:005:009 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the + children of God. + +40:005:010 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: + for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. + +40:005:011 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, + and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my + sake. + +40:005:012 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in + heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before + you. + +40:005:013 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his + savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good + for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot + of men. + +40:005:014 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill + cannot be hid. + +40:005:015 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but + on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the + house. + +40:005:016 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your + good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. + +40:005:017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: + I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. + +40:005:018 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot + or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be + fulfilled. + +40:005:019 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least + commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the + least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and + teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of + heaven. + +40:005:020 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall + exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye + shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. + +40:005:021 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt + not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the + judgment: + +40:005:022 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother + without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and + whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger + of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be + in danger of hell fire. + +40:005:023 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there + rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; + +40:005:024 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first + be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy + gift. + +40:005:025 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way + with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the + judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be + cast into prison. + +40:005:026 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out + thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. + +40:005:027 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt + not commit adultery: + +40:005:028 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust + after her hath committed adultery with her already in his + heart. + +40:005:029 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it + from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy + members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be + cast into hell. + +40:005:030 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it + from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy + members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be + cast into hell. + +40:005:031 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him + give her a writing of divorcement: + +40:005:032 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, + saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit + adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced + committeth adultery. + +40:005:033 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old + time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto + the Lord thine oaths: + +40:005:034 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for + it is God's throne: + +40:005:035 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by + Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. + +40:005:036 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not + make one hair white or black. + +40:005:037 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for + whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. + +40:005:038 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a + tooth for a tooth: + +40:005:039 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever + shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other + also. + +40:005:040 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy + coat, let him have thy cloak also. + +40:005:041 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him + twain. + +40:005:042 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow + of thee turn not thou away. + +40:005:043 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy + neighbour, and hate thine enemy. + +40:005:044 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse + you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which + despitefully use you, and persecute you; + +40:005:045 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: + for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and + sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. + +40:005:046 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do + not even the publicans the same? + +40:005:047 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than + others? do not even the publicans so? + +40:005:048 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in + heaven is perfect. + +40:006:001 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of + them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in + heaven. + +40:006:002 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet + before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the + streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto + you, They have their reward. + +40:006:003 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy + right hand doeth: + +40:006:004 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth + in secret himself shall reward thee openly. + +40:006:005 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites + are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in + the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. + Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. + +40:006:006 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when + thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in + secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee + openly. + +40:006:007 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: + for they think that they shall be heard for their much + speaking. + +40:006:008 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth + what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. + +40:006:009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in + heaven, Hallowed be thy name. + +40:006:010 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in + heaven. + +40:006:011 Give us this day our daily bread. + +40:006:012 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. + +40:006:013 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For + thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. + Amen. + +40:006:014 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father + will also forgive you: + +40:006:015 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your + Father forgive your trespasses. + +40:006:016 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad + countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may + appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have + their reward. + +40:006:017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy + face; + +40:006:018 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father + which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, + shall reward thee openly. + +40:006:019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and + rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: + +40:006:020 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither + moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break + through nor steal: + +40:006:021 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. + +40:006:022 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be + single, thy whole body shall be full of light. + +40:006:023 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of + darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, + how great is that darkness! + +40:006:024 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, + and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and + despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. + +40:006:025 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what + ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, + what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the + body than raiment? + +40:006:026 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they + reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth + them. Are ye not much better than they? + +40:006:027 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his + stature? + +40:006:028 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of + the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: + +40:006:029 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was + not arrayed like one of these. + +40:006:030 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to + day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much + more clothe you, O ye of little faith? + +40:006:031 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What + shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? + +40:006:032 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your + heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. + +40:006:033 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; + and all these things shall be added unto you. + +40:006:034 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall + take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day + is the evil thereof. + +40:007:001 Judge not, that ye be not judged. + +40:007:002 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with + what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. + +40:007:003 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, + but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? + +40:007:004 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote + out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? + +40:007:005 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; + and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of + thy brother's eye. + +40:007:006 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye + your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their + feet, and turn again and rend you. + +40:007:007 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; + knock, and it shall be opened unto you: + +40:007:008 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh + findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. + +40:007:009 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will + he give him a stone? + +40:007:010 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? + +40:007:011 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your + children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven + give good things to them that ask him? + +40:007:012 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to + you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the + prophets. + +40:007:013 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and + broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there + be which go in thereat: + +40:007:014 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which + leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. + +40:007:015 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's + clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. + +40:007:016 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of + thorns, or figs of thistles? + +40:007:017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a + corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. + +40:007:018 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a + corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. + +40:007:019 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, + and cast into the fire. + +40:007:020 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. + +40:007:021 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into + the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father + which is in heaven. + +40:007:022 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not + prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? + and in thy name done many wonderful works? + +40:007:023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart + from me, ye that work iniquity. + +40:007:024 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth + them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house + upon a rock: + +40:007:025 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds + blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was + founded upon a rock. + +40:007:026 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth + them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his + house upon the sand: + +40:007:027 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds + blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the + fall of it. + +40:007:028 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the + people were astonished at his doctrine: + +40:007:029 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the + scribes. + +40:008:001 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes + followed him. + +40:008:002 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, + Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. + +40:008:003 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; + be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. + +40:008:004 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy + way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses + commanded, for a testimony unto them. + +40:008:005 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him + a centurion, beseeching him, + +40:008:006 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, + grievously tormented. + +40:008:007 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. + +40:008:008 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that + thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, + and my servant shall be healed. + +40:008:009 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and + I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and + he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. + +40:008:010 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that + followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great + faith, no, not in Israel. + +40:008:011 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and + west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, + in the kingdom of heaven. + +40:008:012 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer + darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +40:008:013 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou + hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was + healed in the selfsame hour. + +40:008:014 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's + mother laid, and sick of a fever. + +40:008:015 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she + arose, and ministered unto them. + +40:008:016 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were + possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his + word, and healed all that were sick: + +40:008:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the + prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our + sicknesses. + +40:008:018 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave + commandment to depart unto the other side. + +40:008:019 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will + follow thee whithersoever thou goest. + +40:008:020 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds + of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to + lay his head. + +40:008:021 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me + first to go and bury my father. + +40:008:022 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury + their dead. + +40:008:023 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed + him. + +40:008:024 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch + that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. + +40:008:025 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, + save us: we perish. + +40:008:026 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little + faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and + there was a great calm. + +40:008:027 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, + that even the winds and the sea obey him! + +40:008:028 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the + Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming + out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass + by that way. + +40:008:029 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with + thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment + us before the time? + +40:008:030 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine + feeding. + +40:008:031 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, + suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. + +40:008:032 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they + went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of + swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and + perished in the waters. + +40:008:033 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the + city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the + possessed of the devils. + +40:008:034 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when + they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of + their coasts. + +40:009:001 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his + own city. + +40:009:002 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, + lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the + sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven + thee. + +40:009:003 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, + This man blasphemeth. + +40:009:004 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil + in your hearts? + +40:009:005 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or + to say, Arise, and walk? + +40:009:006 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth + to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) + Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. + +40:009:007 And he arose, and departed to his house. + +40:009:008 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified + God, which had given such power unto men. + +40:009:009 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named + Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto + him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. + +40:009:010 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, + behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him + and his disciples. + +40:009:011 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, + Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? + +40:009:012 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be + whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. + +40:009:013 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and + not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but + sinners to repentance. + +40:009:014 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and + the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? + +40:009:015 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber + mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days + will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and + then shall they fast. + +40:009:016 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for + that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, + and the rent is made worse. + +40:009:017 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles + break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but + they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. + +40:009:018 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a + certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even + now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall + live. + +40:009:019 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. + +40:009:020 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of + blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of + his garment: + +40:009:021 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I + shall be whole. + +40:009:022 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, + Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. + And the woman was made whole from that hour. + +40:009:023 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the + minstrels and the people making a noise, + +40:009:024 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but + sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. + +40:009:025 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her + by the hand, and the maid arose. + +40:009:026 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. + +40:009:027 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, + crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. + +40:009:028 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to + him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to + do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. + +40:009:029 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be + it unto you. + +40:009:030 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, + saying, See that no man know it. + +40:009:031 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in + all that country. + +40:009:032 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man + possessed with a devil. + +40:009:033 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the + multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. + +40:009:034 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the + prince of the devils. + +40:009:035 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in + their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and + healing every sickness and every disease among the people. + +40:009:036 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion + on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as + sheep having no shepherd. + +40:009:037 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is + plenteous, but the labourers are few; + +40:009:038 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send + forth labourers into his harvest. + +40:010:001 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave + them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to + heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. + +40:010:002 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, + Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the + son of Zebedee, and John his brother; + +40:010:003 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; + James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was + Thaddaeus; + +40:010:004 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed + him. + +40:010:005 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go + not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the + Samaritans enter ye not: + +40:010:006 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. + +40:010:007 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at + hand. + +40:010:008 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out + devils: freely ye have received, freely give. + +40:010:009 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, + +40:010:010 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, + nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. + +40:010:011 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who + in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. + +40:010:012 And when ye come into an house, salute it. + +40:010:013 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but + if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. + +40:010:014 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when + ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of + your feet. + +40:010:015 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land + of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that + city. + +40:010:016 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be + ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. + +40:010:017 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the + councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; + +40:010:018 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my + sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. + +40:010:019 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye + shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what + ye shall speak. + +40:010:020 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father + which speaketh in you. + +40:010:021 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the + father the child: and the children shall rise up against their + parents, and cause them to be put to death. + +40:010:022 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he + that endureth to the end shall be saved. + +40:010:023 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into + another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone + over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. + +40:010:024 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above + his lord. + +40:010:025 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and + the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the + house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his + household? + +40:010:026 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that + shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. + +40:010:027 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what + ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. + +40:010:028 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to + kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy + both soul and body in hell. + +40:010:029 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them + shall not fall on the ground without your Father. + +40:010:030 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. + +40:010:031 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many + sparrows. + +40:010:032 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I + confess also before my Father which is in heaven. + +40:010:033 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny + before my Father which is in heaven. + +40:010:034 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to + send peace, but a sword. + +40:010:035 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and + the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law + against her mother in law. + +40:010:036 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. + +40:010:037 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of + me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not + worthy of me. + +40:010:038 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is + not worthy of me. + +40:010:039 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his + life for my sake shall find it. + +40:010:040 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me + receiveth him that sent me. + +40:010:041 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall + receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous + man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous + man's reward. + +40:010:042 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little + ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, + verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. + +40:011:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding + his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to + preach in their cities. + +40:011:002 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he + sent two of his disciples, + +40:011:003 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look + for another? + +40:011:004 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again + those things which ye do hear and see: + +40:011:005 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers + are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and + the poor have the gospel preached to them. + +40:011:006 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. + +40:011:007 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes + concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? + A reed shaken with the wind? + +40:011:008 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft + raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' + houses. + +40:011:009 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto + you, and more than a prophet. + +40:011:010 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my + messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before + thee. + +40:011:011 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there + hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: + notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is + greater than he. + +40:011:012 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of + heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. + +40:011:013 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. + +40:011:014 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to + come. + +40:011:015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +40:011:016 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto + children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their + fellows, + +40:011:017 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we + have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. + +40:011:018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He + hath a devil. + +40:011:019 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold + a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and + sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. + +40:011:020 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty + works were done, because they repented not: + +40:011:021 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the + mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre + and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and + ashes. + +40:011:022 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and + Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. + +40:011:023 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be + brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been + done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained + until this day. + +40:011:024 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the + land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. + +40:011:025 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, + Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things + from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. + +40:011:026 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. + +40:011:027 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man + knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the + Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal + him. + +40:011:028 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I + will give you rest. + +40:011:029 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and + lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. + +40:011:030 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. + +40:012:001 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; + and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears + of corn and to eat. + +40:012:002 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy + disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath + day. + +40:012:003 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when + he was an hungred, and they that were with him; + +40:012:004 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the + shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for + them which were with him, but only for the priests? + +40:012:005 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days + the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are + blameless? + +40:012:006 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the + temple. + +40:012:007 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and + not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. + +40:012:008 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. + +40:012:009 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: + +40:012:010 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And + they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath + days? that they might accuse him. + +40:012:011 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that + shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath + day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? + +40:012:012 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is + lawful to do well on the sabbath days. + +40:012:013 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he + stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the + other. + +40:012:014 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, + how they might destroy him. + +40:012:015 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and + great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; + +40:012:016 And charged them that they should not make him known: + +40:012:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the + prophet, saying, + +40:012:018 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my + soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he + shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. + +40:012:019 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his + voice in the streets. + +40:012:020 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he + not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. + +40:012:021 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. + +40:012:022 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, + and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb + both spake and saw. + +40:012:023 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son + of David? + +40:012:024 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth + not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the + devils. + +40:012:025 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every + kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and + every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: + +40:012:026 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; + how shall then his kingdom stand? + +40:012:027 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your + children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. + +40:012:028 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the + kingdom of God is come unto you. + +40:012:029 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil + his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he + will spoil his house. + +40:012:030 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth + not with me scattereth abroad. + +40:012:031 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy + shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy + Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. + +40:012:032 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall + be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy + Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, + neither in the world to come. + +40:012:033 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make + the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known + by his fruit. + +40:012:034 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good + things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth + speaketh. + +40:012:035 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth + forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure + bringeth forth evil things. + +40:012:036 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, + they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. + +40:012:037 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words + thou shalt be condemned. + +40:012:038 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, + saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. + +40:012:039 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous + generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be + given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: + +40:012:040 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's + belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights + in the heart of the earth. + +40:012:041 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this + generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the + preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. + +40:012:042 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this + generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the + uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; + and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. + +40:012:043 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh + through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. + +40:012:044 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came + out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and + garnished. + +40:012:045 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits + more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: + and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even + so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. + +40:012:046 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his + brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. + +40:012:047 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren + stand without, desiring to speak with thee. + +40:012:048 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my + mother? and who are my brethren? + +40:012:049 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and + said, Behold my mother and my brethren! + +40:012:050 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in + heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. + +40:013:001 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea + side. + +40:013:002 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that + he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on + the shore. + +40:013:003 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, + Behold, a sower went forth to sow; + +40:013:004 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the + fowls came and devoured them up: + +40:013:005 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: + and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of + earth: + +40:013:006 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they + had no root, they withered away. + +40:013:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and + choked them: + +40:013:008 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some + an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. + +40:013:009 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +40:013:010 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou + unto them in parables? + +40:013:011 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you + to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it + is not given. + +40:013:012 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have + more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be + taken away even that he hath. + +40:013:013 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see + not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. + +40:013:014 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, + By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing + ye shall see, and shall not perceive: + +40:013:015 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are + dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any + time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, + and should understand with their heart, and should be + converted, and I should heal them. + +40:013:016 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for + they hear. + +40:013:017 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous + men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have + not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and + have not heard them. + +40:013:018 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. + +40:013:019 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and + understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth + away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which + received seed by the way side. + +40:013:020 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is + he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; + +40:013:021 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for + when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, + by and by he is offended. + +40:013:022 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth + the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of + riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. + +40:013:023 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that + heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth + fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, + some thirty. + +40:013:024 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of + heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his + field: + +40:013:025 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the + wheat, and went his way. + +40:013:026 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, + then appeared the tares also. + +40:013:027 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, + Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence + then hath it tares? + +40:013:028 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said + unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? + +40:013:029 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root + up also the wheat with them. + +40:013:030 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of + harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first + the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather + the wheat into my barn. + +40:013:031 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of + heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, + and sowed in his field: + +40:013:032 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, + it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that + the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. + +40:013:033 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is + like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three + measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. + +40:013:034 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; + and without a parable spake he not unto them: + +40:013:035 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, + saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things + which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. + +40:013:036 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: + and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the + parable of the tares of the field. + +40:013:037 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed + is the Son of man; + +40:013:038 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the + kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; + +40:013:039 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end + of the world; and the reapers are the angels. + +40:013:040 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so + shall it be in the end of this world. + +40:013:041 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall + gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them + which do iniquity; + +40:013:042 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be + wailing and gnashing of teeth. + +40:013:043 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom + of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +40:013:044 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a + field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy + thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that + field. + +40:013:045 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, + seeking goodly pearls: + +40:013:046 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold + all that he had, and bought it. + +40:013:047 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast + into the sea, and gathered of every kind: + +40:013:048 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and + gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. + +40:013:049 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come + forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, + +40:013:050 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be + wailing and gnashing of teeth. + +40:013:051 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? + They say unto him, Yea, Lord. + +40:013:052 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is + instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that + is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure + things new and old. + +40:013:053 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these + parables, he departed thence. + +40:013:054 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in + their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, + Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? + +40:013:055 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called + Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and + Judas? + +40:013:056 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath + this man all these things? + +40:013:057 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A + prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in + his own house. + +40:013:058 And he did not many mighty works there because of their + unbelief. + +40:014:001 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, + +40:014:002 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is + risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth + themselves in him. + +40:014:003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in + prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. + +40:014:004 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. + +40:014:005 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the + multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. + +40:014:006 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias + danced before them, and pleased Herod. + +40:014:007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she + would ask. + +40:014:008 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me + here John Baptist's head in a charger. + +40:014:009 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and + them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given + her. + +40:014:010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. + +40:014:011 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the + damsel: and she brought it to her mother. + +40:014:012 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, + and went and told Jesus. + +40:014:013 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a + desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, + they followed him on foot out of the cities. + +40:014:014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved + with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. + +40:014:015 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, + This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the + multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy + themselves victuals. + +40:014:016 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them + to eat. + +40:014:017 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two + fishes. + +40:014:018 He said, Bring them hither to me. + +40:014:019 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and + took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to + heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his + disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. + +40:014:020 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the + fragments that remained twelve baskets full. + +40:014:021 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside + women and children. + +40:014:022 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a + ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent + the multitudes away. + +40:014:023 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a + mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was + there alone. + +40:014:024 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with + waves: for the wind was contrary. + +40:014:025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, + walking on the sea. + +40:014:026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were + troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. + +40:014:027 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good + cheer; it is I; be not afraid. + +40:014:028 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me + come unto thee on the water. + +40:014:029 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the + ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. + +40:014:030 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and + beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. + +40:014:031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught + him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore + didst thou doubt? + +40:014:032 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. + +40:014:033 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, + saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. + +40:014:034 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of + Gennesaret. + +40:014:035 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent + out into all that country round about, and brought unto him + all that were diseased; + +40:014:036 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his + garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. + +40:015:001 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of + Jerusalem, saying, + +40:015:002 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? + for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. + +40:015:003 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress + the commandment of God by your tradition? + +40:015:004 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, + He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. + +40:015:005 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, + It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; + +40:015:006 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. + Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by + your tradition. + +40:015:007 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, + +40:015:008 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and + honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. + +40:015:009 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the + commandments of men. + +40:015:010 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and + understand: + +40:015:011 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that + which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. + +40:015:012 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that + the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? + +40:015:013 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly + Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. + +40:015:014 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the + blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. + +40:015:015 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this + parable. + +40:015:016 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? + +40:015:017 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the + mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? + +40:015:018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth + from the heart; and they defile the man. + +40:015:019 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, + adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: + +40:015:020 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with + unwashen hands defileth not a man. + +40:015:021 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre + and Sidon. + +40:015:022 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, + and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son + of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. + +40:015:023 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and + besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. + +40:015:024 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost + sheep of the house of Israel. + +40:015:025 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. + +40:015:026 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the + children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. + +40:015:027 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs + which fall from their masters' table. + +40:015:028 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy + faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was + made whole from that very hour. + +40:015:029 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of + Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. + +40:015:030 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those + that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast + them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: + +40:015:031 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb + to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the + blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. + +40:015:032 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have + compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now + three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them + away fasting, lest they faint in the way. + +40:015:033 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much + bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? + +40:015:034 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they + said, Seven, and a few little fishes. + +40:015:035 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. + +40:015:036 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, + and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples + to the multitude. + +40:015:037 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the + broken meat that was left seven baskets full. + +40:015:038 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and + children. + +40:015:039 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into + the coasts of Magdala. + +40:016:001 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting + desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. + +40:016:002 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It + will be fair weather: for the sky is red. + +40:016:003 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the + sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the + face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the + times? + +40:016:004 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and + there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the + prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. + +40:016:005 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had + forgotten to take bread. + +40:016:006 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven + of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. + +40:016:007 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we + have taken no bread. + +40:016:008 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little + faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought + no bread? + +40:016:009 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of + the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? + +40:016:010 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many + baskets ye took up? + +40:016:011 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you + concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the + Pharisees and of the Sadducees? + +40:016:012 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the + leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of + the Sadducees. + +40:016:013 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked + his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man + am? + +40:016:014 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, + Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. + +40:016:015 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? + +40:016:016 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the + Son of the living God. + +40:016:017 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon + Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, + but my Father which is in heaven. + +40:016:018 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this + rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not + prevail against it. + +40:016:019 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: + and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in + heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be + loosed in heaven. + +40:016:020 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man + that he was Jesus the Christ. + +40:016:021 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, + how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of + the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and + be raised again the third day. + +40:016:022 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it + far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. + +40:016:023 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: + thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things + that be of God, but those that be of men. + +40:016:024 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after + me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow + me. + +40:016:025 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever + will lose his life for my sake shall find it. + +40:016:026 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, + and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange + for his soul? + +40:016:027 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with + his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to + his works. + +40:016:028 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which + shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming + in his kingdom. + +40:017:001 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his + brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, + +40:017:002 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as + the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. + +40:017:003 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking + with him. + +40:017:004 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for + us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three + tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for + Elias. + +40:017:005 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: + and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my + beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. + +40:017:006 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and + were sore afraid. + +40:017:007 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not + afraid. + +40:017:008 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save + Jesus only. + +40:017:009 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, + saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be + risen again from the dead. + +40:017:010 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes + that Elias must first come? + +40:017:011 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first + come, and restore all things. + +40:017:012 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew + him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. + Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. + +40:017:013 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John + the Baptist. + +40:017:014 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a + certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, + +40:017:015 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore + vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the + water. + +40:017:016 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure + him. + +40:017:017 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse + generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I + suffer you? bring him hither to me. + +40:017:018 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and + the child was cured from that very hour. + +40:017:019 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could + not we cast him out? + +40:017:020 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily + I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, + ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; + and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. + +40:017:021 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. + +40:017:022 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son + of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: + +40:017:023 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised + again. And they were exceeding sorry. + +40:017:024 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received + tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master + pay tribute? + +40:017:025 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus + prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do + the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own + children, or of strangers? + +40:017:026 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then + are the children free. + +40:017:027 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the + sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh + up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a + piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. + +40:018:001 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is + the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? + +40:018:002 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the + midst of them, + +40:018:003 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and + become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom + of heaven. + +40:018:004 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, + the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. + +40:018:005 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name + receiveth me. + +40:018:006 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe + in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged + about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the + sea. + +40:018:007 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be + that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence + cometh! + +40:018:008 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, + and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into + life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet + to be cast into everlasting fire. + +40:018:009 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from + thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, + rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. + +40:018:010 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I + say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the + face of my Father which is in heaven. + +40:018:011 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. + +40:018:012 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them + be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and + goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone + astray? + +40:018:013 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he + rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine + which went not astray. + +40:018:014 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, + that one of these little ones should perish. + +40:018:015 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and + tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall + hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. + +40:018:016 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two + more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word + may be established. + +40:018:017 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: + but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as + an heathen man and a publican. + +40:018:018 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall + be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth + shall be loosed in heaven. + +40:018:019 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth + as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done + for them of my Father which is in heaven. + +40:018:020 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there + am I in the midst of them. + +40:018:021 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my + brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? + +40:018:022 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: + but, Until seventy times seven. + +40:018:023 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain + king, which would take account of his servants. + +40:018:024 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, + which owed him ten thousand talents. + +40:018:025 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to + be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and + payment to be made. + +40:018:026 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, + Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. + +40:018:027 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and + loosed him, and forgave him the debt. + +40:018:028 But the same servant went out, and found one of his + fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid + hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that + thou owest. + +40:018:029 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, + saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. + +40:018:030 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he + should pay the debt. + +40:018:031 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very + sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. + +40:018:032 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O + thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because + thou desiredst me: + +40:018:033 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy + fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? + +40:018:034 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, + till he should pay all that was due unto him. + +40:018:035 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye + from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their + trespasses. + +40:019:001 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these + sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of + Judaea beyond Jordan; + +40:019:002 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. + +40:019:003 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying + unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for + every cause? + +40:019:004 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he + which made them at the beginning made them male and female, + +40:019:005 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, + and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one + flesh? + +40:019:006 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What + therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. + +40:019:007 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a + writing of divorcement, and to put her away? + +40:019:008 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your + hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the + beginning it was not so. + +40:019:009 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except + it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth + adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit + adultery. + +40:019:010 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with + his wife, it is not good to marry. + +40:019:011 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, + save they to whom it is given. + +40:019:012 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their + mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made + eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made + themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that + is able to receive it, let him receive it. + +40:019:013 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he + should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples + rebuked them. + +40:019:014 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, + to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. + +40:019:015 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. + +40:019:016 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what + good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? + +40:019:017 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none + good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, + keep the commandments. + +40:019:018 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, + Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou + shalt not bear false witness, + +40:019:019 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy + neighbour as thyself. + +40:019:020 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept + from my youth up: what lack I yet? + +40:019:021 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that + thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure + in heaven: and come and follow me. + +40:019:022 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away + sorrowful: for he had great possessions. + +40:019:023 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, + That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. + +40:019:024 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go + through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into + the kingdom of God. + +40:019:025 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, + saying, Who then can be saved? + +40:019:026 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is + impossible; but with God all things are possible. + +40:019:027 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have + forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? + +40:019:028 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which + have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man + shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon + twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. + +40:019:029 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or + sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, + for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall + inherit everlasting life. + +40:019:030 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be + first. + +40:020:001 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an + householder, which went out early in the morning to hire + labourers into his vineyard. + +40:020:002 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, + he sent them into his vineyard. + +40:020:003 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing + idle in the marketplace, + +40:020:004 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and + whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. + +40:020:005 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did + likewise. + +40:020:006 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others + standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the + day idle? + +40:020:007 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto + them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, + that shall ye receive. + +40:020:008 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his + steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, + beginning from the last unto the first. + +40:020:009 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, + they received every man a penny. + +40:020:010 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have + received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. + +40:020:011 And when they had received it, they murmured against the + goodman of the house, + +40:020:012 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast + made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat + of the day. + +40:020:013 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no + wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? + +40:020:014 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this + last, even as unto thee. + +40:020:015 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is + thine eye evil, because I am good? + +40:020:016 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be + called, but few chosen. + +40:020:017 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples + apart in the way, and said unto them, + +40:020:018 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be + betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they + shall condemn him to death, + +40:020:019 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, + and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. + +40:020:020 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her + sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. + +40:020:021 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, + Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right + hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. + +40:020:022 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye + able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be + baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say + unto him, We are able. + +40:020:023 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and + be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to + sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but + it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my + Father. + +40:020:024 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation + against the two brethren. + +40:020:025 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the + princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they + that are great exercise authority upon them. + +40:020:026 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great + among you, let him be your minister; + +40:020:027 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your + servant: + +40:020:028 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to + minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. + +40:020:029 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed + him. + +40:020:030 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they + heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on + us, O Lord, thou son of David. + +40:020:031 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their + peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O + Lord, thou son of David. + +40:020:032 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye + that I shall do unto you? + +40:020:033 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. + +40:020:034 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and + immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. + +40:021:001 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to + Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two + disciples, + +40:021:002 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and + straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: + loose them, and bring them unto me. + +40:021:003 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath + need of them; and straightway he will send them. + +40:021:004 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken + by the prophet, saying, + +40:021:005 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto + thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an + ass. + +40:021:006 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, + +40:021:007 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their + clothes, and they set him thereon. + +40:021:008 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; + others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in + the way. + +40:021:009 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, + saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh + in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. + +40:021:010 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, + saying, Who is this? + +40:021:011 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth + of Galilee. + +40:021:012 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them + that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables + of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, + +40:021:013 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called + the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. + +40:021:014 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he + healed them. + +40:021:015 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful + things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and + saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore + displeased, + +40:021:016 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus + saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of + babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? + +40:021:017 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and + he lodged there. + +40:021:018 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. + +40:021:019 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and + found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let + no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the + fig tree withered away. + +40:021:020 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How + soon is the fig tree withered away! + +40:021:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If + ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which + is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this + mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it + shall be done. + +40:021:022 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, + ye shall receive. + +40:021:023 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and + the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and + said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave + thee this authority? + +40:021:024 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one + thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by + what authority I do these things. + +40:021:025 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? + And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, + From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe + him? + +40:021:026 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold + John as a prophet. + +40:021:027 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said + unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these + things. + +40:021:028 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to + the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. + +40:021:029 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, + and went. + +40:021:030 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered + and said, I go, sir: and went not. + +40:021:031 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say + unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto + you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of + God before you. + +40:021:032 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye + believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed + him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that + ye might believe him. + +40:021:033 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which + planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a + winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to + husbandmen, and went into a far country: + +40:021:034 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants + to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. + +40:021:035 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed + another, and stoned another. + +40:021:036 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they + did unto them likewise. + +40:021:037 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will + reverence my son. + +40:021:038 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among + themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let + us seize on his inheritance. + +40:021:039 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and + slew him. + +40:021:040 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he + do unto those husbandmen? + +40:021:041 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, + and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which + shall render him the fruits in their seasons. + +40:021:042 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, + The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the + head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is + marvellous in our eyes? + +40:021:043 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken + from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits + thereof. + +40:021:044 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on + whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. + +40:021:045 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his + parables, they perceived that he spake of them. + +40:021:046 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the + multitude, because they took him for a prophet. + +40:022:001 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and + said, + +40:022:002 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made + a marriage for his son, + +40:022:003 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to + the wedding: and they would not come. + +40:022:004 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which + are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my + fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the + marriage. + +40:022:005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his + farm, another to his merchandise: + +40:022:006 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them + spitefully, and slew them. + +40:022:007 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent + forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up + their city. + +40:022:008 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they + which were bidden were not worthy. + +40:022:009 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall + find, bid to the marriage. + +40:022:010 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered + together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the + wedding was furnished with guests. + +40:022:011 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a + man which had not on a wedding garment: + +40:022:012 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not + having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. + +40:022:013 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, + and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there + shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +40:022:014 For many are called, but few are chosen. + +40:022:015 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might + entangle him in his talk. + +40:022:016 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, + saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the + way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou + regardest not the person of men. + +40:022:017 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give + tribute unto Caesar, or not? + +40:022:018 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye + me, ye hypocrites? + +40:022:019 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. + +40:022:020 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and + superscription? + +40:022:021 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render + therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto + God the things that are God's. + +40:022:022 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, + and went their way. + +40:022:023 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there + is no resurrection, and asked him, + +40:022:024 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, + his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his + brother. + +40:022:025 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he + had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his + wife unto his brother: + +40:022:026 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. + +40:022:027 And last of all the woman died also. + +40:022:028 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the + seven? for they all had her. + +40:022:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the + scriptures, nor the power of God. + +40:022:030 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in + marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. + +40:022:031 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read + that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, + +40:022:032 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of + Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. + +40:022:033 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his + doctrine. + +40:022:034 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees + to silence, they were gathered together. + +40:022:035 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, + tempting him, and saying, + +40:022:036 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? + +40:022:037 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all + thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. + +40:022:038 This is the first and great commandment. + +40:022:039 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour + as thyself. + +40:022:040 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. + +40:022:041 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, + +40:022:042 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say + unto him, The son of David. + +40:022:043 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him + Lord, saying, + +40:022:044 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I + make thine enemies thy footstool? + +40:022:045 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? + +40:022:046 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any + man from that day forth ask him any more questions. + +40:023:001 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, + +40:023:002 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: + +40:023:003 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe + and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do + not. + +40:023:004 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay + them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move + them with one of their fingers. + +40:023:005 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make + broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their + garments, + +40:023:006 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in + the synagogues, + +40:023:007 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, + Rabbi. + +40:023:008 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even + Christ; and all ye are brethren. + +40:023:009 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your + Father, which is in heaven. + +40:023:010 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even + Christ. + +40:023:011 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. + +40:023:012 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that + shall humble himself shall be exalted. + +40:023:013 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye + shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go + in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go + in. + +40:023:014 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour + widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore + ye shall receive the greater damnation. + +40:023:015 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye + compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is + made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than + yourselves. + +40:023:016 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall + swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear + by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! + +40:023:017 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the + temple that sanctifieth the gold? + +40:023:018 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but + whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. + +40:023:019 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the + altar that sanctifieth the gift? + +40:023:020 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and + by all things thereon. + +40:023:021 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by + him that dwelleth therein. + +40:023:022 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of + God, and by him that sitteth thereon. + +40:023:023 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay + tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the + weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: + these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other + undone. + +40:023:024 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. + +40:023:025 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make + clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within + they are full of extortion and excess. + +40:023:026 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the + cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. + +40:023:027 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are + like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful + outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all + uncleanness. + +40:023:028 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but + within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. + +40:023:029 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye + build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of + the righteous, + +40:023:030 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would + not have been partakers with them in the blood of the + prophets. + +40:023:031 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the + children of them which killed the prophets. + +40:023:032 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. + +40:023:033 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the + damnation of hell? + +40:023:034 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and + scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some + of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute + them from city to city: + +40:023:035 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the + earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of + Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple + and the altar. + +40:023:036 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this + generation. + +40:023:037 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and + stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have + gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her + chickens under her wings, and ye would not! + +40:023:038 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. + +40:023:039 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye + shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. + +40:024:001 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his + disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the + temple. + +40:024:002 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily + I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon + another, that shall not be thrown down. + +40:024:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came + unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things + be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end + of the world? + +40:024:004 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man + deceive you. + +40:024:005 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall + deceive many. + +40:024:006 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be + not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the + end is not yet. + +40:024:007 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against + kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and + earthquakes, in divers places. + +40:024:008 All these are the beginning of sorrows. + +40:024:009 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill + you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. + +40:024:010 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, + and shall hate one another. + +40:024:011 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. + +40:024:012 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax + cold. + +40:024:013 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be + saved. + +40:024:014 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the + world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end + come. + +40:024:015 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, + spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, + (whoso readeth, let him understand:) + +40:024:016 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: + +40:024:017 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any + thing out of his house: + +40:024:018 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his + clothes. + +40:024:019 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give + suck in those days! + +40:024:020 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on + the sabbath day: + +40:024:021 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the + beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. + +40:024:022 And except those days should be shortened, there should no + flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be + shortened. + +40:024:023 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or + there; believe it not. + +40:024:024 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and + shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were + possible, they shall deceive the very elect. + +40:024:025 Behold, I have told you before. + +40:024:026 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the + desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; + believe it not. + +40:024:027 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even + unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. + +40:024:028 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be + gathered together. + +40:024:029 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun + be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the + stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens + shall be shaken: + +40:024:030 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: + and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they + shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with + power and great glory. + +40:024:031 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, + and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, + from one end of heaven to the other. + +40:024:032 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet + tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: + +40:024:033 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that + it is near, even at the doors. + +40:024:034 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till + all these things be fulfilled. + +40:024:035 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass + away. + +40:024:036 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of + heaven, but my Father only. + +40:024:037 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the + Son of man be. + +40:024:038 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating + and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day + that Noe entered into the ark, + +40:024:039 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so + shall also the coming of the Son of man be. + +40:024:040 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and + the other left. + +40:024:041 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be + taken, and the other left. + +40:024:042 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth + come. + +40:024:043 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in + what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and + would not have suffered his house to be broken up. + +40:024:044 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think + not the Son of man cometh. + +40:024:045 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath + made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due + season? + +40:024:046 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall + find so doing. + +40:024:047 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all + his goods. + +40:024:048 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord + delayeth his coming; + +40:024:049 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and + drink with the drunken; + +40:024:050 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh + not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, + +40:024:051 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with + the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +40:025:001 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, + which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. + +40:025:002 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. + +40:025:003 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with + them: + +40:025:004 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. + +40:025:005 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. + +40:025:006 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom + cometh; go ye out to meet him. + +40:025:007 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. + +40:025:008 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for + our lamps are gone out. + +40:025:009 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not + enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and + buy for yourselves. + +40:025:010 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that + were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was + shut. + +40:025:011 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, + open to us. + +40:025:012 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you + not. + +40:025:013 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour + wherein the Son of man cometh. + +40:025:014 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far + country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them + his goods. + +40:025:015 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to + another one; to every man according to his several ability; + and straightway took his journey. + +40:025:016 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded + with the same, and made them other five talents. + +40:025:017 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other + two. + +40:025:018 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and + hid his lord's money. + +40:025:019 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and + reckoneth with them. + +40:025:020 And so he that had received five talents came and brought + other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me + five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents + more. + +40:025:021 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful + servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will + make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of + thy lord. + +40:025:022 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, + thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained + two other talents beside them. + +40:025:023 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; + thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee + ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. + +40:025:024 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, + I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast + not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: + +40:025:025 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: + lo, there thou hast that is thine. + +40:025:026 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful + servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and + gather where I have not strawed: + +40:025:027 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the + exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine + own with usury. + +40:025:028 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which + hath ten talents. + +40:025:029 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have + abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even + that which he hath. + +40:025:030 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: + there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +40:025:031 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy + angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his + glory: + +40:025:032 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall + separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his + sheep from the goats: + +40:025:033 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on + the left. + +40:025:034 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye + blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you + from the foundation of the world: + +40:025:035 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and + ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: + +40:025:036 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was + in prison, and ye came unto me. + +40:025:037 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we + thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee + drink? + +40:025:038 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and + clothed thee? + +40:025:039 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? + +40:025:040 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto + you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of + these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. + +40:025:041 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from + me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil + and his angels: + +40:025:042 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, + and ye gave me no drink: + +40:025:043 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed + me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. + +40:025:044 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we + thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, + or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? + +40:025:045 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, + Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did + it not to me. + +40:025:046 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the + righteous into life eternal. + +40:026:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these + sayings, he said unto his disciples, + +40:026:002 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and + the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. + +40:026:003 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, + and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high + priest, who was called Caiaphas, + +40:026:004 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill + him. + +40:026:005 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar + among the people. + +40:026:006 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the + leper, + +40:026:007 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very + precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at + meat. + +40:026:008 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, + To what purpose is this waste? + +40:026:009 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to + the poor. + +40:026:010 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye + the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. + +40:026:011 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not + always. + +40:026:012 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did + it for my burial. + +40:026:013 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be + preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this + woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. + +40:026:014 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the + chief priests, + +40:026:015 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver + him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces + of silver. + +40:026:016 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. + +40:026:017 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the + disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that + we prepare for thee to eat the passover? + +40:026:018 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, + The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover + at thy house with my disciples. + +40:026:019 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they + made ready the passover. + +40:026:020 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. + +40:026:021 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one + of you shall betray me. + +40:026:022 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them + to say unto him, Lord, is it I? + +40:026:023 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in + the dish, the same shall betray me. + +40:026:024 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto + that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good + for that man if he had not been born. + +40:026:025 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is + it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. + +40:026:026 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and + brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; + this is my body. + +40:026:027 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, + saying, Drink ye all of it; + +40:026:028 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for + many for the remission of sins. + +40:026:029 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit + of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my + Father's kingdom. + +40:026:030 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount + of Olives. + +40:026:031 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because + of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the + shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered + abroad. + +40:026:032 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. + +40:026:033 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be + offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. + +40:026:034 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, + before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. + +40:026:035 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I + not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. + +40:026:036 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, + and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray + yonder. + +40:026:037 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and + began to be sorrowful and very heavy. + +40:026:038 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even + unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. + +40:026:039 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and + prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup + pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. + +40:026:040 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and + saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? + +40:026:041 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit + indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. + +40:026:042 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my + Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink + it, thy will be done. + +40:026:043 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were + heavy. + +40:026:044 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third + time, saying the same words. + +40:026:045 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on + now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the + Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. + +40:026:046 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray + me. + +40:026:047 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, + and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from + the chief priests and elders of the people. + +40:026:048 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever + I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. + +40:026:049 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and + kissed him. + +40:026:050 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then + came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him. + +40:026:051 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out + his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high + priest's, and smote off his ear. + +40:026:052 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his + place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the + sword. + +40:026:053 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he + shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? + +40:026:054 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it + must be? + +40:026:055 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come + out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? + I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no + hold on me. + +40:026:056 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets + might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and + fled. + +40:026:057 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas + the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were + assembled. + +40:026:058 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, + and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. + +40:026:059 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought + false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; + +40:026:060 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet + found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, + +40:026:061 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of + God, and to build it in three days. + +40:026:062 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou + nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? + +40:026:063 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and + said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell + us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. + +40:026:064 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto + you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the + right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. + +40:026:065 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken + blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now + ye have heard his blasphemy. + +40:026:066 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. + +40:026:067 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others + smote him with the palms of their hands, + +40:026:068 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote + thee? + +40:026:069 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto + him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. + +40:026:070 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou + sayest. + +40:026:071 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, + and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with + Jesus of Nazareth. + +40:026:072 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. + +40:026:073 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said + to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech + bewrayeth thee. + +40:026:074 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the + man. And immediately the cock crew. + +40:026:075 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, + Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went + out, and wept bitterly. + +40:027:001 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of + the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: + +40:027:002 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered + him to Pontius Pilate the governor. + +40:027:003 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was + condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty + pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, + +40:027:004 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent + blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. + +40:027:005 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and + departed, and went and hanged himself. + +40:027:006 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is + not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is + the price of blood. + +40:027:007 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's + field, to bury strangers in. + +40:027:008 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this + day. + +40:027:009 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the + prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, + the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of + Israel did value; + +40:027:010 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed + me. + +40:027:011 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked + him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said + unto him, Thou sayest. + +40:027:012 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he + answered nothing. + +40:027:013 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things + they witness against thee? + +40:027:014 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the + governor marvelled greatly. + +40:027:015 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the + people a prisoner, whom they would. + +40:027:016 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. + +40:027:017 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto + them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus + which is called Christ? + +40:027:018 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. + +40:027:019 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto + him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I + have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. + +40:027:020 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that + they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. + +40:027:021 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain + will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. + +40:027:022 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which + is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. + +40:027:023 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they + cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. + +40:027:024 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather + a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before + the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just + person: see ye to it. + +40:027:025 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, + and on our children. + +40:027:026 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged + Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. + +40:027:027 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common + hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. + +40:027:028 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. + +40:027:029 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon + his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the + knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the + Jews! + +40:027:030 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on + the head. + +40:027:031 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off + from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to + crucify him. + +40:027:032 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by + name: him they compelled to bear his cross. + +40:027:033 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is + to say, a place of a skull, + +40:027:034 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he + had tasted thereof, he would not drink. + +40:027:035 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: + that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, + They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did + they cast lots. + +40:027:036 And sitting down they watched him there; + +40:027:037 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS + THE KING OF THE JEWS. + +40:027:038 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the + right hand, and another on the left. + +40:027:039 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, + +40:027:040 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it + in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come + down from the cross. + +40:027:041 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes + and elders, said, + +40:027:042 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of + Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will + believe him. + +40:027:043 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have + him: for he said, I am the Son of God. + +40:027:044 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same + in his teeth. + +40:027:045 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land + unto the ninth hour. + +40:027:046 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, + saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my + God, why hast thou forsaken me? + +40:027:047 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, + This man calleth for Elias. + +40:027:048 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled + it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. + +40:027:049 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to + save him. + +40:027:050 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up + the ghost. + +40:027:051 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the + top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks + rent; + +40:027:052 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints + which slept arose, + +40:027:053 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went + into the holy city, and appeared unto many. + +40:027:054 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching + Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, + they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. + +40:027:055 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed + Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: + +40:027:056 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James + and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children. + +40:027:057 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, + named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: + +40:027:058 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate + commanded the body to be delivered. + +40:027:059 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean + linen cloth, + +40:027:060 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the + rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the + sepulchre, and departed. + +40:027:061 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over + against the sepulchre. + +40:027:062 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, + the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, + +40:027:063 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was + yet alive, After three days I will rise again. + +40:027:064 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the + third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him + away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so + the last error shall be worse than the first. + +40:027:065 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it + as sure as ye can. + +40:027:066 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, + and setting a watch. + +40:028:001 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the + first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary + to see the sepulchre. + +40:028:002 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of + the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the + stone from the door, and sat upon it. + +40:028:003 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as + snow: + +40:028:004 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead + men. + +40:028:005 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: + for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. + +40:028:006 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the + place where the Lord lay. + +40:028:007 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from + the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there + shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. + +40:028:008 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and + great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. + +40:028:009 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met + them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the + feet, and worshipped him. + +40:028:010 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren + that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. + +40:028:011 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into + the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things + that were done. + +40:028:012 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken + counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, + +40:028:013 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him + away while we slept. + +40:028:014 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, + and secure you. + +40:028:015 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this + saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. + +40:028:016 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a + mountain where Jesus had appointed them. + +40:028:017 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. + +40:028:018 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given + unto me in heaven and in earth. + +40:028:019 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the + name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: + +40:028:020 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have + commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end + of the world.

This is +also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the +indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an +announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter. + +http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or +ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03 + +Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90 + +Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, +as it appears in our Newsletters. + + +Information about Project Gutenberg (one page) + +We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The +time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours +to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright +searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our +projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value +per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 +million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text +files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ +We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 +If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total +will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end. + +The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks! +This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, +which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users. + +Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated): + +eBooks Year Month + + 1 1971 July + 10 1991 January + 100 1994 January + 1000 1997 August + 1500 1998 October + 2000 1999 December + 2500 2000 December + 3000 2001 November + 4000 2001 October/November + 6000 2002 December* + 9000 2003 November* +10000 2004 January* + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created +to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium. + +We need your donations more than ever! + +As of February, 2002, contributions are being solicited from people +and organizations in: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, +Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, +Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, +Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New +Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, +Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South +Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West +Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. + +We have filed in all 50 states now, but these are the only ones +that have responded. + +As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list +will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. +Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state. + +In answer to various questions we have received on this: + +We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally +request donations in all 50 states.
