+ for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. + +42:001:019 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that + stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, + and to shew thee these glad tidings. + +42:001:020 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until + the day that these things shall be performed, because thou + believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their + season. + +42:001:021 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he + tarried so long in the temple. + +42:001:022 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they + perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he + beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. + +42:001:023 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his + ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. + +42:001:024 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid + herself five months, saying, + +42:001:025 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked + on me, to take away my reproach among men. + +42:001:026 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God + unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, + +42:001:027 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the + house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. + +42:001:028 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art + highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among + women. + +42:001:029 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast + in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. + +42:001:030 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast + found favour with God. + +42:001:031 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth + a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. + +42:001:032 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: + and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father + David: + +42:001:033 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of + his kingdom there shall be no end. + +42:001:034 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I + know not a man? + +42:001:035 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall + come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow + thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of + thee shall be called the Son of God. + +42:001:036 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a + son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who + was called barren. + +42:001:037 For with God nothing shall be impossible. + +42:001:038 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me + according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. + +42:001:039 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country + with haste, into a city of Juda; + +42:001:040 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted + Elisabeth. + +42:001:041 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation + of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled + with the Holy Ghost: + +42:001:042 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art + thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. + +42:001:043 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should + come to me? + +42:001:044 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in + mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. + +42:001:045 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a + performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. + +42:001:046 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, + +42:001:047 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. + +42:001:048 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, + behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. + +42:001:049 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy + is his name. + +42:001:050 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to + generation. + +42:001:051 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the + proud in the imagination of their hearts. + +42:001:052 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them + of low degree. + +42:001:053 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he + hath sent empty away. + +42:001:054 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his + mercy; + +42:001:055 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for + ever. + +42:001:056 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to + her own house. + +42:001:057 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; + and she brought forth a son. + +42:001:058 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had + shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. + +42:001:059 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to + circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the + name of his father. + +42:001:060 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be + called John. + +42:001:061 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is + called by this name. + +42:001:062 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him + called. + +42:001:063 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name + is John. And they marvelled all. + +42:001:064 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, + and he spake, and praised God. + +42:001:065 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all + these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill + country of Judaea. + +42:001:066 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, + saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of + the Lord was with him. + +42:001:067 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and + prophesied, saying, + +42:001:068 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and + redeemed his people, + +42:001:069 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of + his servant David; + +42:001:070 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been + since the world began: + +42:001:071 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of + all that hate us; + +42:001:072 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember + his holy covenant; + +42:001:073 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, + +42:001:074 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of + the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, + +42:001:075 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our + life. + +42:001:076 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: + for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his + ways; + +42:001:077 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the + remission of their sins, + +42:001:078 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring + from on high hath visited us, + +42:001:079 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow + of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. + +42:001:080 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the + deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. + +42:002:001 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a + decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be + taxed. + +42:002:002 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of + Syria.) + +42:002:003 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. + +42:002:004 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of + Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called + Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) + +42:002:005 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with + child. + +42:002:006 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were + accomplished that she should be delivered. + +42:002:007 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in + swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was + no room for them in the inn. + +42:002:008 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the + field, keeping watch over their flock by night. + +42:002:009 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory + of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. + +42:002:010 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring + you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. + +42:002:011 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, + which is Christ the Lord. + +42:002:012 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe + wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. + +42:002:013 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the + heavenly host praising God, and saying, + +42:002:014 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will + toward men. + +42:002:015 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them + into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go + even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, + which the Lord hath made known unto us. + +42:002:016 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the + babe lying in a manger. + +42:002:017 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying + which was told them concerning this child. + +42:002:018 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were + told them by the shepherds. + +42:002:019 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her + heart. + +42:002:020 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for + all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told + unto them. + +42:002:021 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of + the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of + the angel before he was conceived in the womb. + +42:002:022 And when the days of her purification according to the law of + Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to + present him to the Lord; + +42:002:023 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that + openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) + +42:002:024 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in + the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young + pigeons. + +42:002:025 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was + Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the + consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. + +42:002:026 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should + not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. + +42:002:027 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the + parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the + custom of the law, + +42:002:028 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, + +42:002:029 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according + to thy word: + +42:002:030 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, + +42:002:031 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; + +42:002:032 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people + Israel. + +42:002:033 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were + spoken of him. + +42:002:034 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, + Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of + many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; + +42:002:035 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that + the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. + +42:002:036 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, + of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived + with an husband seven years from her virginity; + +42:002:037 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which + departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and + prayers night and day. + +42:002:038 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the + Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption + in Jerusalem. + +42:002:039 And when they had performed all things according to the law of + the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city + Nazareth. + +42:002:040 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with + wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. + +42:002:041 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of + the passover. + +42:002:042 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem + after the custom of the feast. + +42:002:043 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the + child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his + mother knew not of it. + +42:002:044 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a + day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and + acquaintance. + +42:002:045 And when they found him not, they turned back again to + Jerusalem, seeking him. + +42:002:046 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in + the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing + them, and asking them questions. + +42:002:047 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding + and answers. + +42:002:048 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said + unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy + father and I have sought thee sorrowing. + +42:002:049 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye + not that I must be about my Father's business? + +42:002:050 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. + +42:002:051 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was + subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in + her heart. + +42:002:052 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with + God and man. + +42:003:001 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, + Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being + tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of + Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the + tetrarch of Abilene, + +42:003:002 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God + came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. + +42:003:003 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the + baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; + +42:003:004 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the + prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, + Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. + +42:003:005 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill + shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, + and the rough ways shall be made smooth; + +42:003:006 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. + +42:003:007 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized + of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee + from the wrath to come? + +42:003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin + not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: + for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise + up children unto Abraham. + +42:003:009 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every + tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn + down, and cast into the fire. + +42:003:010 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? + +42:003:011 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let + him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let + him do likewise. + +42:003:012 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, + Master, what shall we do? + +42:003:013 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is + appointed you. + +42:003:014 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what + shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, + neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. + +42:003:015 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in + their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; + +42:003:016 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with + water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose + shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with + the Holy Ghost and with fire: + +42:003:017 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his + floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the + chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. + +42:003:018 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the + people. + +42:003:019 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his + brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had + done, + +42:003:020 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. + +42:003:021 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that + Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, + +42:003:022 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove + upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art + my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. + +42:003:023 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being + (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of + Heli, + +42:003:024 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which + was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was + the son of Joseph, + +42:003:025 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, + which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which + was the son of Nagge, + +42:003:026 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, + which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which + was the son of Juda, + +42:003:027 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which + was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, + which was the son of Neri, + +42:003:028 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which + was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was + the son of Er, + +42:003:029 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which + was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was + the son of Levi, + +42:003:030 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which + was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was + the son of Eliakim, + +42:003:031 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which + was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which + was the son of David, + +42:003:032 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which + was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was + the son of Naasson, + +42:003:033 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, + which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which + was the son of Juda, + +42:003:034 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which + was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was + the son of Nachor, + +42:003:035 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which + was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was + the son of Sala, + +42:003:036 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, + which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was + the son of Lamech, + +42:003:037 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, + which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, + which was the son of Cainan, + +42:003:038 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which + was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. + +42:004:001 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, + and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, + +42:004:002 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he + did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward + hungered. + +42:004:003 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, + command this stone that it be made bread. + +42:004:004 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall + not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. + +42:004:005 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed + unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. + +42:004:006 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, + and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to + whomsoever I will I give it. + +42:004:007 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. + +42:004:008 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, + Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, + and him only shalt thou serve. + +42:004:009 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of + the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast + thyself down from hence: + +42:004:010 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, + to keep thee: + +42:004:011 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time + thou dash thy foot against a stone. + +42:004:012 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not + tempt the Lord thy God. + +42:004:013 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed + from him for a season. + +42:004:014 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: + and there went out a fame of him through all the region round + about. + +42:004:015 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. + +42:004:016 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as + his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, + and stood up for to read. + +42:004:017 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet + Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place + where it was written, + +42:004:018 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me + to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the + brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and + recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that + are bruised, + +42:004:019 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. + +42:004:020 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, + and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the + synagogue were fastened on him. + +42:004:021 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture + fulfilled in your ears. + +42:004:022 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words + which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this + Joseph's son? + +42:004:023 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this + proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard + done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. + +42:004:024 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in + his own country. + +42:004:025 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the + days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six + months, when great famine was throughout all the land; + +42:004:026 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a + city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. + +42:004:027 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the + prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the + Syrian. + +42:004:028 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, + were filled with wrath, + +42:004:029 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto + the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they + might cast him down headlong. + +42:004:030 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, + +42:004:031 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them + on the sabbath days. + +42:004:032 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was + with power. + +42:004:033 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an + unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, + +42:004:034 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus + of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou + art; the Holy One of God. + +42:004:035 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of + him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came + out of him, and hurt him not. + +42:004:036 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, + What a word is this! for with authority and power he + commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. + +42:004:037 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country + round about. + +42:004:038 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's + house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; + and they besought him for her. + +42:004:039 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: + and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. + +42:004:040 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with + divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands + on every one of them, and healed them. + +42:004:041 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou + art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them + not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. + +42:004:042 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: + and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, + that he should not depart from them. + +42:004:043 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to + other cities also: for therefore am I sent. + +42:004:044 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. + +42:005:001 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to + hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, + +42:005:002 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were + gone out of them, and were washing their nets. + +42:005:003 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and + prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. + And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. + +42:005:004 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out + into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. + +42:005:005 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all + the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I + will let down the net. + +42:005:006 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude + of fishes: and their net brake. + +42:005:007 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other + ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and + filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. + +42:005:008 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, + Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. + +42:005:009 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the + draught of the fishes which they had taken: + +42:005:010 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which + were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; + from henceforth thou shalt catch men. + +42:005:011 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook + all, and followed him. + +42:005:012 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a + man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and + besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me + clean. + +42:005:013 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be + thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. + +42:005:014 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to + the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses + commanded, for a testimony unto them. + +42:005:015 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and + great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by + him of their infirmities. + +42:005:016 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. + +42:005:017 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that + there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which + were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and + Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. + +42:005:018 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a + palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him + before him. + +42:005:019 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him + in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and + let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst + before Jesus. + +42:005:020 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins + are forgiven thee. + +42:005:021 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who + is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but + God alone? + +42:005:022 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said + unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? + +42:005:023 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to + say, Rise up and walk? + +42:005:024 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth + to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say + unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine + house. + +42:005:025 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that + whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. + +42:005:026 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were + filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day. + +42:005:027 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, + named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto + him, Follow me. + +42:005:028 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. + +42:005:029 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there + was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down + with them. + +42:005:030 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his + disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and + sinners? + +42:005:031 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need + not a physician; but they that are sick. + +42:005:032 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. + +42:005:033 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast + often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the + Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? + +42:005:034 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the + bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? + +42:005:035 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken + away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. + +42:005:036 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece + of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new + maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new + agreeth not with the old. + +42:005:037 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new + wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles + shall perish. + +42:005:038 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are + preserved. + +42:005:039 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: + for he saith, The old is better. + +42:006:001 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, + that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples + plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their + hands. + +42:006:002 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that + which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? + +42:006:003 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as + this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they + which were with him; + +42:006:004 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the + shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it + is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? + +42:006:005 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the + sabbath. + +42:006:006 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered + into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right + hand was withered. + +42:006:007 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would + heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation + against him. + +42:006:008 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the + withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he + arose and stood forth. + +42:006:009 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it + lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save + life, or to destroy it? + +42:006:010 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, + Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was + restored whole as the other. + +42:006:011 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with + another what they might do to Jesus. + +42:006:012 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a + mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. + +42:006:013 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of + them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; + +42:006:014 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, + James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, + +42:006:015 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon + called Zelotes, + +42:006:016 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also + was the traitor. + +42:006:017 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the + company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out + of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre + and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their + diseases; + +42:006:018 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were + healed. + +42:006:019 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went + virtue out of him, and healed them all. + +42:006:020 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed + be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. + +42:006:021 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. + Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. + +42:006:022 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall + separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and + cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. + +42:006:023 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your + reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their + fathers unto the prophets. + +42:006:024 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your + consolation. + +42:006:025 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you + that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. + +42:006:026 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did + their fathers to the false prophets. + +42:006:027 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to + them which hate you, + +42:006:028 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which + despitefully use you. + +42:006:029 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the + other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take + thy coat also. + +42:006:030 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh + away thy goods ask them not again. + +42:006:031 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them + likewise. + +42:006:032 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for + sinners also love those that love them. + +42:006:033 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank + have ye? for sinners also do even the same. + +42:006:034 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank + have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much + again. + +42:006:035 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for + nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be + the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the + unthankful and to the evil. + +42:006:036 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. + +42:006:037 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye + shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: + +42:006:038 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed + down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give + into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal + it shall be measured to you again. + +42:006:039 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the + blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? + +42:006:040 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is + perfect shall be as his master. + +42:006:041 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, + but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? + +42:006:042 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull + out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest + not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast + out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou + see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. + +42:006:043 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth + a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. + +42:006:044 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do + not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. + +42:006:045 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth + forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil + treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for + of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. + +42:006:046 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I + say? + +42:006:047 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth + them, I will shew you to whom he is like: + +42:006:048 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and + laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the + stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake + it: for it was founded upon a rock. + +42:006:049 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without + a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the + stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the + ruin of that house was great. + +42:007:001 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the + people, he entered into Capernaum. + +42:007:002 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was + sick, and ready to die. + +42:007:003 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the + Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. + +42:007:004 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, + saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: + +42:007:005 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. + +42:007:006 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from + the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, + Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou + shouldest enter under my roof: + +42:007:007 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: + but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. + +42:007:008 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me + soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to + another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and + he doeth it. + +42:007:009 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned + him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say + unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. + +42:007:010 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the + servant whole that had been sick. + +42:007:011 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city + called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much + people. + +42:007:012 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there + was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and + she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. + +42:007:013 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said + unto her, Weep not. + +42:007:014 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood + still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. + +42:007:015 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he + delivered him to his mother. + +42:007:016 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, + That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath + visited his people. + +42:007:017 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and + throughout all the region round about. + +42:007:018 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. + +42:007:019 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to + Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for + another? + +42:007:020 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath + sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or + look we for another? + +42:007:021 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and + plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he + gave sight. + +42:007:022 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell + John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind + see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, + the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. + +42:007:023 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. + +42:007:024 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to + speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into + the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? + +42:007:025 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft + raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and + live delicately, are in kings' courts. + +42:007:026 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto + you, and much more than a prophet. + +42:007:027 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger + before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. + +42:007:028 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there + is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is + least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. + +42:007:029 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, + justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. + +42:007:030 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God + against themselves, being not baptized of him. + +42:007:031 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of + this generation? and to what are they like? + +42:007:032 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and + calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, + and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have + not wept. + +42:007:033 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking + wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. + +42:007:034 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold + a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and + sinners! + +42:007:035 But wisdom is justified of all her children. + +42:007:036 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with + him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to + meat. + +42:007:037 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she + knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought + an alabaster box of ointment, + +42:007:038 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash + his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her + head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the + ointment. + +42:007:039 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake + within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would + have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth + him: for she is a sinner. + +42:007:040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to + say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. + +42:007:041 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one + owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. + +42:007:042 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them + both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? + +42:007:043 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave + most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. + +42:007:044 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou + this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no + water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and + wiped them with the hairs of her head. + +42:007:045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came + in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. + +42:007:046 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath + anointed my feet with ointment. + +42:007:047 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are + forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, + the same loveth little. + +42:007:048 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. + +42:007:049 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within + themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? + +42:007:050 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in + peace. + +42:008:001 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every + city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of + the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, + +42:008:002 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and + infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven + devils, + +42:008:003 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and + many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. + +42:008:004 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to + him out of every city, he spake by a parable: + +42:008:005 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell + by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the + air devoured it. + +42:008:006 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it + withered away, because it lacked moisture. + +42:008:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, + and choked it. + +42:008:008 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit + an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, + He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +42:008:009 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable + be? + +42:008:010 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the + kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they + might not see, and hearing they might not understand. + +42:008:011 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. + +42:008:012 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the + devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they + should believe and be saved. + +42:008:013 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the + word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while + believe, and in time of temptation fall away. + +42:008:014 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they + have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and + pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. + +42:008:015 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and + good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth + fruit with patience. + +42:008:016 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a + vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a + candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. + +42:008:017 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; + neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come + abroad. + +42:008:018 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him + shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be + taken even that which he seemeth to have. + +42:008:019 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not + come at him for the press. + +42:008:020 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy + brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. + +42:008:021 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren + are these which hear the word of God, and do it. + +42:008:022 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship + with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto + the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. + +42:008:023 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm + of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were + in jeopardy. + +42:008:024 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, + we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging + of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. + +42:008:025 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being + afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is + this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they + obey him. + +42:008:026 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is + over against Galilee. + +42:008:027 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city + a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no + clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. + +42:008:028 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and + with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, + thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. + +42:008:029 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the + man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound + with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was + driven of the devil into the wilderness.) + +42:008:030 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, + Legion: because many devils were entered into him. + +42:008:031 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out + into the deep. + +42:008:032 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the + mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to + enter into them. And he suffered them. + +42:008:033 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the + swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the + lake, and were choked. + +42:008:034 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went + and told it in the city and in the country. + +42:008:035 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, + and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, + sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: + and they were afraid. + +42:008:036 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was + possessed of the devils was healed. + +42:008:037 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round + about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken + with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned + back again. + +42:008:038 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him + that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, + +42:008:039 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath + done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout + the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. + +42:008:040 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people + gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. + +42:008:041 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler + of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and + besought him that he would come into his house: + +42:008:042 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and + she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. + +42:008:043 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had + spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed + of any, + +42:008:044 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and + immediately her issue of blood stanched. + +42:008:045 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and + they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng + thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? + +42:008:046 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that + virtue is gone out of me. + +42:008:047 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came + trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him + before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and + how she was healed immediately. + +42:008:048 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith + hath made thee whole; go in peace. + +42:008:049 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the + synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; + trouble not the Master. + +42:008:050 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: + believe only, and she shall be made whole. + +42:008:051 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, + save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother + of the maiden. + +42:008:052 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is + not dead, but sleepeth. + +42:008:053 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. + +42:008:054 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, + saying, Maid, arise. + +42:008:055 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he + commanded to give her meat. + +42:008:056 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they + should tell no man what was done. + +42:009:001 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them + power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. + +42:009:002 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the + sick. + +42:009:003 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither + staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have + two coats apiece. + +42:009:004 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence + depart. + +42:009:005 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that + city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony + against them. + +42:009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the + gospel, and healing every where. + +42:009:007 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and + he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John + was risen from the dead; + +42:009:008 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one + of the old prophets was risen again. + +42:009:009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom + I hear such things? And he desired to see him. + +42:009:010 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that + they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into + a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. + +42:009:011 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he + received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and + healed them that had need of healing. + +42:009:012 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and + said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into + the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get + victuals: for we are here in a desert place. + +42:009:013 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We + have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should + go and buy meat for all this people. + +42:009:014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his + disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. + +42:009:015 And they did so, and made them all sit down. + +42:009:016 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking + up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the + disciples to set before the multitude. + +42:009:017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up + of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. + +42:009:018 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples + were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people + that I am? + +42:009:019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; + and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. + +42:009:020 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering + said, The Christ of God. + +42:009:021 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no + man that thing; + +42:009:022 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be + rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be + slain, and be raised the third day. + +42:009:023 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let + him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. + +42:009:024 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever + will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. + +42:009:025 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and + lose himself, or be cast away? + +42:009:026 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him + shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own + glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. + +42:009:027 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which + shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. + +42:009:028 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, + he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain + to pray. + +42:009:029 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, + and his raiment was white and glistering. + +42:009:030 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses + and Elias: + +42:009:031 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he + should accomplish at Jerusalem. + +42:009:032 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: + and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men + that stood with him. + +42:009:033 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said + unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us + make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and + one for Elias: not knowing what he said. + +42:009:034 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed + them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. + +42:009:035 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my + beloved Son: hear him. + +42:009:036 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they + kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those + things which they had seen. + +42:009:037 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come + down from the hill, much people met him. + +42:009:038 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I + beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. + +42:009:039 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and + it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly + departeth from him. + +42:009:040 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could + not. + +42:009:041 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, + how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son + hither. + +42:009:042 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare + him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the + child, and delivered him again to his father. + +42:009:043 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while + they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said + unto his disciples, + +42:009:044 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man + shall be delivered into the hands of men. + +42:009:045 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, + that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that + saying. + +42:009:046 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should + be greatest. + +42:009:047 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a + child, and set him by him, + +42:009:048 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my + name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth + him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same + shall be great. + +42:009:049 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out + devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth + not with us. + +42:009:050 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not + against us is for us. + +42:009:051 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be + received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, + +42:009:052 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and + entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for + him. + +42:009:053 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though + he would go to Jerusalem. + +42:009:054 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, + Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, + and consume them, even as Elias did? + +42:009:055 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what + manner of spirit ye are of. + +42:009:056 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to + save them. And they went to another village. + +42:009:057 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain + man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou + goest. + +42:009:058 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the + air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his + head. + +42:009:059 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer + me first to go and bury my father. + +42:009:060 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou + and preach the kingdom of God. + +42:009:061 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me + first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. + +42:009:062 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the + plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. + +42:010:001 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and + sent them two and two before his face into every city and + place, whither he himself would come. + +42:010:002 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but + the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the + harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. + +42:010:003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. + +42:010:004 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man + by the way. + +42:010:005 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to + this house. + +42:010:006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon + it: if not, it shall turn to you again. + +42:010:007 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things + as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not + from house to house. + +42:010:008 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat + such things as are set before you: + +42:010:009 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The + kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. + +42:010:010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, + go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, + +42:010:011 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do + wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that + the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. + +42:010:012 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that + day for Sodom, than for that city. + +42:010:013 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the + mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been + done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in + sackcloth and ashes. + +42:010:014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the + judgment, than for you. + +42:010:015 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be + thrust down to hell. + +42:010:016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you + despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent + me. + +42:010:017 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even + the devils are subject unto us through thy name. + +42:010:018 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from + heaven. + +42:010:019 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and + scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing + shall by any means hurt you. + +42:010:020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are + subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are + written in heaven. + +42:010:021 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, + O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these + things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto + babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. + +42:010:022 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man + knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, + but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. + +42:010:023 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, + Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: + +42:010:024 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to + see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to + hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. + +42:010:025 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, + saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? + +42:010:026 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest + thou? + +42:010:027 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with + all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy + strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. + +42:010:028 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and + thou shalt live. + +42:010:029 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who + is my neighbour? + +42:010:030 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from + Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped + him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him + half dead. + +42:010:031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and + when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. + +42:010:032 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and + looked on him, and passed by on the other side. + +42:010:033 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: + and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, + +42:010:034 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and + wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, + and took care of him. + +42:010:035 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and + gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; + and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will + repay thee. + +42:010:036 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto + him that fell among the thieves? + +42:010:037 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto + him, Go, and do thou likewise. + +42:010:038 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a + certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him + into her house. + +42:010:039 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' + feet, and heard his word. + +42:010:040 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, + and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me + to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. + +42:010:041 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art + careful and troubled about many things: + +42:010:042 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, + which shall not be taken away from her. + +42:011:001 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain + place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, + Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. + +42:011:002 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art + in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be + done, as in heaven, so in earth. + +42:011:003 Give us day by day our daily bread. + +42:011:004 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is + indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver + us from evil. + +42:011:005 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and + shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend + me three loaves; + +42:011:006 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have + nothing to set before him? + +42:011:007 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the + door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot + rise and give thee. + +42:011:008 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because + he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise + and give him as many as he needeth. + +42:011:009 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and + ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. + +42:011:010 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh + findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. + +42:011:011 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will + he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish + give him a serpent? + +42:011:012 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? + +42:011:013 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your + children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the + Holy Spirit to them that ask him? + +42:011:014 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came + to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the + people wondered. + +42:011:015 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub + the chief of the devils. + +42:011:016 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. + +42:011:017 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom + divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house + divided against a house falleth. + +42:011:018 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his + kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through + Beelzebub. + +42:011:019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons + cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. + +42:011:020 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the + kingdom of God is come upon you. + +42:011:021 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in + peace: + +42:011:022 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome + him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and + divideth his spoils. + +42:011:023 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth + not with me scattereth. + +42:011:024 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh + through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, + I will return unto my house whence I came out. + +42:011:025 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. + +42:011:026 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more + wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and + the last state of that man is worse than the first. + +42:011:027 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman + of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed + is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast + sucked. + +42:011:028 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word + of God, and keep it. + +42:011:029 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to + say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there + shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. + +42:011:030 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the + Son of man be to this generation. + +42:011:031 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the + men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from + the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; + and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. + +42:011:032 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this + generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the + preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. + +42:011:033 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret + place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they + which come in may see the light. + +42:011:034 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is + single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine + eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. + +42:011:035 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not + darkness. + +42:011:036 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part + dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright + shining of a candle doth give thee light. + +42:011:037 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with + him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. + +42:011:038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not + first washed before dinner. + +42:011:039 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the + outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is + full of ravening and wickedness. + +42:011:040 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that + which is within also? + +42:011:041 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, + all things are clean unto you. + +42:011:042 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all + manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: + these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other + undone. + +42:011:043 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in + the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. + +42:011:044 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as + graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are + not aware of them. + +42:011:045 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, + thus saying thou reproachest us also. + +42:011:046 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men + with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not + the burdens with one of your fingers. + +42:011:047 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and + your fathers killed them. + +42:011:048 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: + for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. + +42:011:049 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them + prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and + persecute: + +42:011:050 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the + foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; + +42:011:051 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which + perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto + you, It shall be required of this generation. + +42:011:052 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of + knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were + entering in ye hindered. + +42:011:053 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the + Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to + speak of many things: + +42:011:054 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his + mouth, that they might accuse him. + +42:012:001 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an + innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one + upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, + Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. + +42:012:002 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; + neither hid, that shall not be known. + +42:012:003 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard + in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in + closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. + +42:012:004 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill + the body, and after that have no more that they can do. + +42:012:005 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which + after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say + unto you, Fear him. + +42:012:006 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of + them is forgotten before God? + +42:012:007 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear + not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. + +42:012:008 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, + him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of + God: + +42:012:009 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the + angels of God. + +42:012:010 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it + shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against + the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. + +42:012:011 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto + magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing + ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: + +42:012:012 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye + ought to say. + +42:012:013 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my + brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. + +42:012:014 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider + over you? + +42:012:015 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: + for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things + which he possesseth. + +42:012:016 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a + certain rich man brought forth plentifully: + +42:012:017 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, + because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? + +42:012:018 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and + build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my + goods. + +42:012:019 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up + for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. + +42:012:020 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be + required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou + hast provided? + +42:012:021 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich + toward God. + +42:012:022 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take + no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the + body, what ye shall put on. + +42:012:023 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. + +42:012:024 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which + neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how + much more are ye better than the fowls? + +42:012:025 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature + one cubit? + +42:012:026 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why + take ye thought for the rest? + +42:012:027 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin + not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was + not arrayed like one of these. + +42:012:028 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, + and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he + clothe you, O ye of little faith? + +42:012:029 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, + neither be ye of doubtful mind. + +42:012:030 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: + and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. + +42:012:031 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things + shall be added unto you. + +42:012:032 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure + to give you the kingdom. + +42:012:033 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags + which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, + where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. + +42:012:034 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. + +42:012:035 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; + +42:012:036 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when + he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and + knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. + +42:012:037 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall + find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird + himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come + forth and serve them. + +42:012:038 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third + watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. + +42:012:039 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what + hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have + suffered his house to be broken through. + +42:012:040 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an + hour when ye think not. + +42:012:041 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable + unto us, or even to all? + +42:012:042 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, + whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give + them their portion of meat in due season? + +42:012:043 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall + find so doing. + +42:012:044 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over + all that he hath. + +42:012:045 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his + coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, + and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; + +42:012:046 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh + not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut + him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the + unbelievers. + +42:012:047 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not + himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten + with many stripes. + +42:012:048 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, + shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is + given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have + committed much, of him they will ask the more. + +42:012:049 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be + already kindled? + +42:012:050 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I + straitened till it be accomplished! + +42:012:051 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, + Nay; but rather division: + +42:012:052 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, + three against two, and two against three. + +42:012:053 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son + against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the + daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her + daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in + law. + +42:012:054 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out + of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so + it is. + +42:012:055 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be + heat; and it cometh to pass. + +42:012:056 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the + earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? + +42:012:057 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? + +42:012:058 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as + thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be + delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the + judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee + into prison. + +42:012:059 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid + the very last mite. + +42:013:001 There were present at that season some that told him of the + Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their + sacrifices. + +42:013:002 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these + Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they + suffered such things? + +42:013:003 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise + perish. + +42:013:004 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and + slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that + dwelt in Jerusalem? + +42:013:005 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise + perish. + +42:013:006 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree + planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, + and found none. + +42:013:007 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these + three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find + none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? + +42:013:008 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year + also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: + +42:013:009 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou + shalt cut it down. + +42:013:010 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. + +42:013:011 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity + eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise + lift up herself. + +42:013:012 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto + her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. + +42:013:013 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made + straight, and glorified God. + +42:013:014 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, + because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said + unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to + work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the + sabbath day. + +42:013:015 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not + each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from + the stall, and lead him away to watering? + +42:013:016 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom + Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from + this bond on the sabbath day? + +42:013:017 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were + ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious + things that were done by him. + +42:013:018 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and + whereunto shall I resemble it? + +42:013:019 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast + into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the + fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. + +42:013:020 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? + +42:013:021 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three + measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. + +42:013:022 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and + journeying toward Jerusalem. + +42:013:023 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And + he said unto them, + +42:013:024 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto + you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. + +42:013:025 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut + to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at + the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall + answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: + +42:013:026 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy + presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. + +42:013:027 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; + depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. + +42:013:028 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall + see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in + the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. + +42:013:029 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from + the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the + kingdom of God. + +42:013:030 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there + are first which shall be last. + +42:013:031 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto + him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. + +42:013:032 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I + cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the + third day I shall be perfected. + +42:013:033 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day + following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of + Jerusalem. + +42:013:034 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and + stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have + gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood + under her wings, and ye would not! + +42:013:035 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say + unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye + shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. + +42:014:001 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the + chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they + watched him. + +42:014:002 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the + dropsy. + +42:014:003 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, + saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? + +42:014:004 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, + and let him go; + +42:014:005 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or + an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out + on the sabbath day? + +42:014:006 And they could not answer him again to these things. + +42:014:007 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he + marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them. + +42:014:008 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in + the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be + bidden of him; + +42:014:009 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this + man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. + +42:014:010 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; + that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, + Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the + presence of them that sit at meat with thee. + +42:014:011 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that + humbleth himself shall be exalted. + +42:014:012 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a + dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, + neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also + bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. + +42:014:013 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the + lame, the blind: + +42:014:014 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: + for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. + +42:014:015 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these + things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread + in the kingdom of God. + +42:014:016 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and + bade many: + +42:014:017 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were + bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. + +42:014:018 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first + said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must + needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. + +42:014:019 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to + prove them: I pray thee have me excused. + +42:014:020 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I + cannot come. + +42:014:021 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then + the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go + out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring + in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the + blind. + +42:014:022 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, + and yet there is room. + +42:014:023 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways + and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be + filled. + +42:014:024 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden + shall taste of my supper. + +42:014:025 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and + said unto them, + +42:014:026 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, + and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and + his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. + +42:014:027 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, + cannot be my disciple. + +42:014:028 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down + first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to + finish it? + +42:014:029 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able + to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, + +42:014:030 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. + +42:014:031 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth + not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten + thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty + thousand? + +42:014:032 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an + ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. + +42:014:033 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all + that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. + +42:014:034 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith + shall it be seasoned? + +42:014:035 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but + men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +42:015:001 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to + hear him. + +42:015:002 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man + receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. + +42:015:003 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, + +42:015:004 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of + them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, + and go after that which is lost, until he find it? + +42:015:005 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, + rejoicing. + +42:015:006 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and + neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have + found my sheep which was lost. + +42:015:007 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one + sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just + persons, which need no repentance. + +42:015:008 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one + piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek + diligently till she find it? + +42:015:009 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her + neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found + the piece which I had lost. + +42:015:010 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the + angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. + +42:015:011 And he said, A certain man had two sons: + +42:015:012 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me + the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto + them his living. + +42:015:013 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, + and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his + substance with riotous living. + +42:015:014 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that + land; and he began to be in want. + +42:015:015 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; + and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. + +42:015:016 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that + the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. + +42:015:017 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants + of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish + with hunger! + +42:015:018 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, + Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, + +42:015:019 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of + thy hired servants. + +42:015:020 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a + great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and + ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. + +42:015:021 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against + heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called + thy son. + +42:015:022 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best + robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes + on his feet: + +42:015:023 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, + and be merry: + +42:015:024 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and + is found. And they began to be merry. + +42:015:025 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew + nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. + +42:015:026 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things + meant. + +42:015:027 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath + killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and + sound. + +42:015:028 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his + father out, and intreated him. + +42:015:029 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I + serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy + commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might + make merry with my friends: + +42:015:030 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy + living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. + +42:015:031 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that + I have is thine. + +42:015:032 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this + thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is + found. + +42:016:001 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich + man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him + that he had wasted his goods. + +42:016:002 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear + this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou + mayest be no longer steward. + +42:016:003 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my + lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg + I am ashamed. + +42:016:004 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the + stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. + +42:016:005 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and + said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? + +42:016:006 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, + Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. + +42:016:007 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, + An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy + bill, and write fourscore. + +42:016:008 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done + wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation + wiser than the children of light. + +42:016:009 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon + of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you + into everlasting habitations. + +42:016:010 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in + much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in + much. + +42:016:011 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous + mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? + +42:016:012 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another + man's, who shall give you that which is your own? + +42:016:013 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the + one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and + despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. + +42:016:014 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these + things: and they derided him. + +42:016:015 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves + before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is + highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. + +42:016:016 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the + kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. + +42:016:017 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle + of the law to fail. + +42:016:018 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, + committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put + away from her husband committeth adultery. + +42:016:019 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and + fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: + +42:016:020 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid + at his gate, full of sores, + +42:016:021 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the + rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. + +42:016:022 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by + the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and + was buried; + +42:016:023 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth + Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. + +42:016:024 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and + send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, + and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. + +42:016:025 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime + receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: + but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. + +42:016:026 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf + fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; + neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. + +42:016:027 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou + wouldest send him to my father's house: + +42:016:028 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest + they also come into this place of torment. + +42:016:029 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let + them hear them. + +42:016:030 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them + from the dead, they will repent. + +42:016:031 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, + neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. + +42:017:001 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that + offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! + +42:017:002 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his + neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one + of these little ones. + +42:017:003 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, + rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. + +42:017:004 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and + seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; + thou shalt forgive him. + +42:017:005 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. + +42:017:006 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, + ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by + the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey + you. + +42:017:007 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, + will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, + Go and sit down to meat? + +42:017:008 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may + sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and + drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? + +42:017:009 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were + commanded him? I trow not. + +42:017:010 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which + are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have + done that which was our duty to do. + +42:017:011 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed + through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. + +42:017:012 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten + men that were lepers, which stood afar off: + +42:017:013 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have + mercy on us. + +42:017:014 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves + unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, + they were cleansed. + +42:017:015 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, + and with a loud voice glorified God, + +42:017:016 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and + he was a Samaritan. + +42:017:017 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but + where are the nine? + +42:017:018 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save + this stranger. + +42:017:019 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made + thee whole. + +42:017:020 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of + God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God + cometh not with observation: + +42:017:021 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, + the kingdom of God is within you. + +42:017:022 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye + shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye + shall not see it. + +42:017:023 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not + after them, nor follow them. + +42:017:024 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part + under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so + shall also the Son of man be in his day. + +42:017:025 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this + generation. + +42:017:026 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the + days of the Son of man. + +42:017:027 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given + in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and + the flood came, and destroyed them all. + +42:017:028 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they + drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; + +42:017:029 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and + brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. + +42:017:030 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is + revealed. + +42:017:031 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his + stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and + he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. + +42:017:032 Remember Lot's wife. + +42:017:033 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and + whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. + +42:017:034 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; + the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. + +42:017:035 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, + and the other left. + +42:017:036 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the + other left. + +42:017:037 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said + unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be + gathered together. + +42:018:001 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought + always to pray, and not to faint; + +42:018:002 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, + neither regarded man: + +42:018:003 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, + saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. + +42:018:004 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within + himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; + +42:018:005 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest + by her continual coming she weary me. + +42:018:006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. + +42:018:007 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and + night unto him, though he bear long with them? + +42:018:008 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless + when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? + +42:018:009 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in + themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: + +42:018:010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, + and the other a publican. + +42:018:011 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank + thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, + adulterers, or even as this publican. + +42:018:012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. + +42:018:013 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much + as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, + God be merciful to me a sinner. + +42:018:014 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather + than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be + abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. + +42:018:015 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch + them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. + +42:018:016 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little + children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is + the kingdom of God. + +42:018:017 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom + of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. + +42:018:018 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall + I do to inherit eternal life? + +42:018:019 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is + good, save one, that is, God. + +42:018:020 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not + kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy + father and thy mother. + +42:018:021 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. + +42:018:022 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet + lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and + distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in + heaven: and come, follow me. + +42:018:023 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very + rich. + +42:018:024 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How + hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of + God! + +42:018:025 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, + than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. + +42:018:026 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? + +42:018:027 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are + possible with God. + +42:018:028 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. + +42:018:029 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man + that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or + children, for the kingdom of God's sake, + +42:018:030 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and + in the world to come life everlasting. + +42:018:031 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, + we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the + prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. + +42:018:032 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be + mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: + +42:018:033 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the + third day he shall rise again. + +42:018:034 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was + hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. + +42:018:035 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a + certain blind man sat by the way side begging: + +42:018:036 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. + +42:018:037 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. + +42:018:038 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on + me. + +42:018:039 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold + his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, + have mercy on me. + +42:018:040 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and + when he was come near, he asked him, + +42:018:041 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, + Lord, that I may receive my sight. + +42:018:042 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath + saved thee. + +42:018:043 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, + glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave + praise unto God. + +42:019:001 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. + +42:019:002 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the + chief among the publicans, and he was rich. + +42:019:003 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the + press, because he was little of stature. + +42:019:004 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see + him: for he was to pass that way. + +42:019:005 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, + and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for + to day I must abide at thy house. + +42:019:006 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. + +42:019:007 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was + gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. + +42:019:008 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the + half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any + thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him + fourfold. + +42:019:009 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this + house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. + +42:019:010 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was + lost. + +42:019:011 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, + because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought + that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. + +42:019:012 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country + to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. + +42:019:013 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, + and said unto them, Occupy till I come. + +42:019:014 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, + saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. + +42:019:015 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having + received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be + called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might + know how much every man had gained by trading. + +42:019:016 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten + pounds. + +42:019:017 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou + hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over + ten cities. + +42:019:018 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five + pounds. + +42:019:019 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. + +42:019:020 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, + which I have kept laid up in a napkin: + +42:019:021 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou + takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou + didst not sow. + +42:019:022 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge + thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere + man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did + not sow: + +42:019:023 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at + my coming I might have required mine own with usury? + +42:019:024 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, + and give it to him that hath ten pounds. + +42:019:025 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) + +42:019:026 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be + given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be + taken away from him. + +42:019:027 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign + over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. + +42:019:028 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to + Jerusalem. + +42:019:029 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and + Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two + of his disciples, + +42:019:030 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which + at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never + man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. + +42:019:031 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say + unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. + +42:019:032 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he + had said unto them. + +42:019:033 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said + unto them, Why loose ye the colt? + +42:019:034 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. + +42:019:035 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments + upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. + +42:019:036 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. + +42:019:037 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the + mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to + rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty + works that they had seen; + +42:019:038 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the + Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. + +42:019:039 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto + him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. + +42:019:040 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these + should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. + +42:019:041 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over + it, + +42:019:042 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy + day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are + hid from thine eyes. + +42:019:043 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall + cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep + thee in on every side, + +42:019:044 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children + within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon + another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. + +42:019:045 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that + sold therein, and them that bought; + +42:019:046 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of + prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. + +42:019:047 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and + the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, + +42:019:048 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were + very attentive to hear him. + +42:020:001 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught + the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief + priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, + +42:020:002 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest + thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? + +42:020:003 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one + thing; and answer me: + +42:020:004 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? + +42:020:005 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, + From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? + +42:020:006 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for + they be persuaded that John was a prophet. + +42:020:007 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. + +42:020:008 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority + I do these things. + +42:020:009 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain + man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and + went into a far country for a long time. + +42:020:010 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that + they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the + husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. + +42:020:011 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and + entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. + +42:020:012 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast + him out. + +42:020:013 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will + send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when + they see him. + +42:020:014 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among + themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, + that the inheritance may be ours. + +42:020:015 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What + therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? + +42:020:016 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the + vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God + forbid. + +42:020:017 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is + written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is + become the head of the corner? + +42:020:018 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on + whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. + +42:020:019 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to + lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they + perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. + +42:020:020 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign + themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, + that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of + the governor. + +42:020:021 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest + and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of + any, but teachest the way of God truly: + +42:020:022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? + +42:020:023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why + tempt ye me? + +42:020:024 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They + answered and said, Caesar's. + +42:020:025 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things + which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. + +42:020:026 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: + and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. + +42:020:027 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that + there is any resurrection; and they asked him, + +42:020:028 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, + having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother + should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. + +42:020:029 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a + wife, and died without children. + +42:020:030 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. + +42:020:031 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and + they left no children, and died. + +42:020:032 Last of all the woman died also. + +42:020:033 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for + seven had her to wife. + +42:020:034 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world + marry, and are given in marriage: + +42:020:035 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, + and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are + given in marriage: + +42:020:036 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the + angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the + resurrection. + +42:020:037 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, + when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of + Isaac, and the God of Jacob. + +42:020:038 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all + live unto him. + +42:020:039 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast + well said. + +42:020:040 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. + +42:020:041 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's + son? + +42:020:042 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said + unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, + +42:020:043 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. + +42:020:044 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? + +42:020:045 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his + disciples, + +42:020:046 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and + love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the + synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; + +42:020:047 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: + the same shall receive greater damnation. + +42:021:001 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts + into the treasury. + +42:021:002 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two + mites. + +42:021:003 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow + hath cast in more than they all: + +42:021:004 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the + offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the + living that she had. + +42:021:005 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with + goodly stones and gifts, he said, + +42:021:006 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in + the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that + shall not be thrown down. + +42:021:007 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these + things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall + come to pass? + +42:021:008 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall + come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth + near: go ye not therefore after them. + +42:021:009 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not + terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the + end is not by and by. + +42:021:010 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and + kingdom against kingdom: + +42:021:011 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, + and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall + there be from heaven. + +42:021:012 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and + persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into + prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's + sake. + +42:021:013 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. + +42:021:014 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before + what ye shall answer: + +42:021:015 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your + adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. + +42:021:016 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and + kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be + put to death. + +42:021:017 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. + +42:021:018 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. + +42:021:019 In your patience possess ye your souls. + +42:021:020 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then + know that the desolation thereof is nigh. + +42:021:021 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and + let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not + them that are in the countries enter thereinto. + +42:021:022 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are + written may be fulfilled. + +42:021:023 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give + suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the + land, and wrath upon this people. + +42:021:024 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led + away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden + down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be + fulfilled. + +42:021:025 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in + the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with + perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; + +42:021:026 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after + those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of + heaven shall be shaken. + +42:021:027 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with + power and great glory. + +42:021:028 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and + lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. + +42:021:029 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all + the trees; + +42:021:030 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves + that summer is now nigh at hand. + +42:021:031 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye + that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. + +42:021:032 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, + till all be fulfilled. + +42:021:033 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass + away. + +42:021:034 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be + overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of + this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. + +42:021:035 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the + face of the whole earth. + +42:021:036 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted + worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and + to stand before the Son of man. + +42:021:037 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at + night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the + mount of Olives. + +42:021:038 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the + temple, for to hear him. + +42:022:001 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called + the Passover. + +42:022:002 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill + him; for they feared the people. + +42:022:003 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the + number of the twelve. + +42:022:004 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and + captains, how he might betray him unto them. + +42:022:005 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. + +42:022:006 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto + them in the absence of the multitude. + +42:022:007 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must + be killed. + +42:022:008 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the + passover, that we may eat. + +42:022:009 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? + +42:022:010 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the + city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; + follow him into the house where he entereth in. + +42:022:011 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master + saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat + the passover with my disciples? + +42:022:012 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make + ready. + +42:022:013 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they + made ready the passover. + +42:022:014 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve + apostles with him. + +42:022:015 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this + passover with you before I suffer: + +42:022:016 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it + be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. + +42:022:017 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and + divide it among yourselves: + +42:022:018 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, + until the kingdom of God shall come. + +42:022:019 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave + unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: + this do in remembrance of me. + +42:022:020 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the + new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. + +42:022:021 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on + the table. + +42:022:022 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe + unto that man by whom he is betrayed! + +42:022:023 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it + was that should do this thing. + +42:022:024 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should + be accounted the greatest. + +42:022:025 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise + lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them + are called benefactors. + +42:022:026 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let + him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth + serve. + +42:022:027 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that + serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as + he that serveth. + +42:022:028 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. + +42:022:029 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed + unto me; + +42:022:030 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit + on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. + +42:022:031 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to + have you, that he may sift you as wheat: + +42:022:032 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when + thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. + +42:022:033 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both + into prison, and to death. + +42:022:034 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this + day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. + +42:022:035 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and + scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. + +42:022:036 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him + take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, + let him sell his garment, and buy one. + +42:022:037 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be + accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the + transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. + +42:022:038 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said + unto them, It is enough. + +42:022:039 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of + Olives; and his disciples also followed him. + +42:022:040 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye + enter not into temptation. + +42:022:041 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and + kneeled down, and prayed, + +42:022:042 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: + nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. + +42:022:043 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, + strengthening him. + +42:022:044 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat + was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the + ground. + +42:022:045 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his + disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, + +42:022:046 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter + into temptation. + +42:022:047 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was + called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew + near unto Jesus to kiss him. + +42:022:048 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man + with a kiss? + +42:022:049 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they + said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? + +42:022:050 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut + off his right ear. + +42:022:051 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he + touched his ear, and healed him. + +42:022:052 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the + temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come + out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? + +42:022:053 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no + hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of + darkness. + +42:022:054 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high + priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. + +42:022:055 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and + were set down together, Peter sat down among them. + +42:022:056 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and + earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with + him. + +42:022:057 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. + +42:022:058 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art + also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. + +42:022:059 And about the space of one hour after another confidently + affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: + for he is a Galilaean. + +42:022:060 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And + immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. + +42:022:061 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter + remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, + Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. + +42:022:062 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. + +42:022:063 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. + +42:022:064 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the + face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote + thee? + +42:022:065 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. + +42:022:066 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the + chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into + their council, saying, + +42:022:067 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell + you, ye will not believe: + +42:022:068 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. + +42:022:069 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the + power of God. + +42:022:070 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said + unto them, Ye say that I am. + +42:022:071 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we + ourselves have heard of his own mouth. + +42:023:001 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto + Pilate. + +42:023:002 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow + perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to + Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. + +42:023:003 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? + And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. + +42:023:004 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I + find no fault in this man. + +42:023:005 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the + people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee + to this place. + +42:023:006 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a + Galilaean. + +42:023:007 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's + jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at + Jerusalem at that time. + +42:023:008 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was + desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard + many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle + done by him. + +42:023:009 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him + nothing. + +42:023:010 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused + him. + +42:023:011 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked + him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to + Pilate. + +42:023:012 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: + for before they were at enmity between themselves. + +42:023:013 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and + the rulers and the people, + +42:023:014 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that + perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him + before you, have found no fault in this man touching those + things whereof ye accuse him: + +42:023:015 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing + worthy of death is done unto him. + +42:023:016 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. + +42:023:017 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) + +42:023:018 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, + and release unto us Barabbas: + +42:023:019 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, + was cast into prison.) + +42:023:020 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to + them. + +42:023:021 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. + +42:023:022 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he + done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore + chastise him, and let him go. + +42:023:023 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he + might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief + priests prevailed. + +42:023:024 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. + +42:023:025 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was + cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered + Jesus to their will. + +42:023:026 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a + Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the + cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. + +42:023:027 And there followed him a great company of people, and of + women, which also bewailed and lamented him. + +42:023:028 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep + not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. + +42:023:029 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, + Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the + paps which never gave suck. + +42:023:030 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and + to the hills, Cover us. + +42:023:031 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be + done in the dry? + +42:023:032 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be + put to death. + +42:023:033 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, + there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the + right hand, and the other on the left. + +42:023:034 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what + they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. + +42:023:035 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them + derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if + he be Christ, the chosen of God. + +42:023:036 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering + him vinegar, + +42:023:037 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. + +42:023:038 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of + Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. + +42:023:039 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, + saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. + +42:023:040 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou + fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? + +42:023:041 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our + deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. + +42:023:042 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest + into thy kingdom. + +42:023:043 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt + thou be with me in paradise. + +42:023:044 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over + all the earth until the ninth hour. + +42:023:045 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent + in the midst. + +42:023:046 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, + into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he + gave up the ghost. + +42:023:047 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, + saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. + +42:023:048 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding + the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. + +42:023:049 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from + Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. + +42:023:050 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and + he was a good man, and a just: + +42:023:051 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) + he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself + waited for the kingdom of God. + +42:023:052 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. + +42:023:053 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a + sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was + laid. + +42:023:054 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. + +42:023:055 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed + after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. + +42:023:056 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and + rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. + +42:024:001 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, + they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they + had prepared, and certain others with them. + +42:024:002 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. + +42:024:003 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. + +42:024:004 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, + behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: + +42:024:005 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the + earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the + dead? + +42:024:006 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you + when he was yet in Galilee, + +42:024:007 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of + sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. + +42:024:008 And they remembered his words, + +42:024:009 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things + unto the eleven, and to all the rest. + +42:024:010 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of + James, and other women that were with them, which told these + things unto the apostles. + +42:024:011 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they + believed them not. + +42:024:012 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping + down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and + departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. + +42:024:013 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village + called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore + furlongs. + +42:024:014 And they talked together of all these things which had + happened. + +42:024:015 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and + reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. + +42:024:016 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. + +42:024:017 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these + that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? + +42:024:018 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said + unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not + known the things which are come to pass there in these days? + +42:024:019 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, + Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in + deed and word before God and all the people: + +42:024:020 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be + condemned to death, and have crucified him. + +42:024:021 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed + Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since + these things were done. + +42:024:022 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, + which were early at the sepulchre; + +42:024:023 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they + had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was + alive. + +42:024:024 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, + and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw + not. + +42:024:025 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe + all that the prophets have spoken: + +42:024:026 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter + into his glory? + +42:024:027 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto + them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. + +42:024:028 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he + made as though he would have gone further. + +42:024:029 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is + toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to + tarry with them. + +42:024:030 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took + bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. + +42:024:031 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished + out of their sight. + +42:024:032 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within + us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to + us the scriptures? + +42:024:033 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and + found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with + them, + +42:024:034 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. + +42:024:035 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was + known of them in breaking of bread. + +42:024:036 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of + them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. + +42:024:037 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they + had seen a spirit. + +42:024:038 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do + thoughts arise in your hearts? + +42:024:039 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, + and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me + have. + +42:024:040 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his + feet. + +42:024:041 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said + unto them, Have ye here any meat? + +42:024:042 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an + honeycomb. + +42:024:043 And he took it, and did eat before them. + +42:024:044 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto + you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be + fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the + prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. + +42:024:045 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand + the scriptures, + +42:024:046 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved + Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: + +42:024:047 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached + in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. + +42:024:048 And ye are witnesses of these things. + +42:024:049 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but + tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with + power from on high. + +42:024:050 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his + hands, and blessed them. + +42:024:051 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from + them, and carried up into heaven. + +42:024:052 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great + joy: + +42:024:053 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. + Amen. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, BOOK 42 *** + +********** This file should be named 8042.txt or 8042.zip ********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger +See above the credits to previous producers of this text. + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
