==== < MT1>

MT-1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of
David, the son

of Abraham.

MT-1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob
begat Judas and

his brethren;

MT-1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares
begat Esrom; and

Esrom begat Aram;

MT-1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and
Naasson begat

Salmon;

MT-1:5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of
Ruth; and Obed

begat Jesse;

MT-1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat
Solomon of her

[that had been the wife] of Urias;

MT-1:7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and
Abia begat Asa;

MT-1:8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and
Joram begat

Ozias;

MT-1:9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and
Achaz begat

Ezekias;

MT-1:10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon;
and Amon begat

Josias;

MT-1:11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the
time they were

carried away to Babylon:

MT-1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
Salathiel; and

Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

MT-1:13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and
Eliakim begat

Azor;

MT-1:14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim
begat Eliud;

MT-1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and
Matthan begat

Jacob;

MT-1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was
born Jesus,

who is called Christ.

MT-1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David [are]
fourteen

generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon
[are] fourteen

generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ
[are] fourteen

generations.

MT-1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as
his mother

Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was
found with

child of the Holy Ghost.

MT-1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not
willing to make

her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

MT-1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel
of the Lord

appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David,
fear not to

take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her
is of the Holy

Ghost.

MT-1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call
his name JESUS:

for he shall save his people from their sins.

MT-1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of

the Lord by the prophet, saying,

MT-1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring
forth a son, and

they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
God with us.

MT-1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of
the Lord had

bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

MT-1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her
firstborn son: and he

called his name JESUS.

==== <MT2>

MT-2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the
days of Herod the

king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

MT-2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for
we have seen his

star in the east, and are come to worship him.

MT-2:3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was
troubled, and all

Jerusalem with him.

MT-2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and
scribes of the

people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

MT-2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus
it is written

by the prophet,

MT-2:6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the
least among the

princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that
shall rule my

people Israel.

MT-2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,
inquired of them

diligently what time the star appeared.

MT-2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
diligently for

the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word
again, that I may

come and worship him also.

MT-2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo,
the star, which

they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood
over where the

young child was.

MT-2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy.

MT-2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the
young child with

Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when
they had opened

their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense, and

myrrh.

MT-2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not
return to

Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

MT-2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the
Lord appeareth

to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child
and his mother,

and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:
for Herod will

seek the young child to destroy him.

MT-2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother
by night, and

departed into Egypt:

MT-2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might
be fulfilled

which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of
Egypt have I called

my son.

MT-2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise
men, was

exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that
were in

Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and
under,

according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the
wise men.

MT-2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
prophet,

saying,

MT-2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and
weeping, and great

mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be
comforted,

because they are not.

MT-2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeareth in a

dream to Joseph in Egypt,

MT-2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother,
and go into

the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young
child's life.

MT-2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother,
and came into

the land of Israel.

MT-2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in
the room of

his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding,
being warned of

God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

MT-2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that
it might be

fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a
Nazarene.

==== <MT3>

MT-3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
wilderness of

Judaea,

MT-3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.

MT-3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
saying, The

voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make his

paths straight.

MT-3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern

girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

MT-3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all
the region

round about Jordan,

MT-3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their
sins.

MT-3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come
to his

baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee

from the wrath to come?

MT-3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

MT-3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham
to [our]

father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to
raise up

children unto Abraham.

MT-3:10 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore

every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the

fire.

MT-3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he
that cometh

after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall

baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire:

MT-3:12 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly
purge his floor,

and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the
chaff with

unquenchable fire.

MT-3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to
be baptized of

him.

MT-3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized
of thee, and

comest thou to me?

MT-3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so]
now: for thus

it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

MT-3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway
out of the water:

and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit
of God

descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

MT-3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I

am well pleased.

==== <MT4>

MT-4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness
to be tempted

of the devil.

MT-4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he
was afterward an

hungered.

MT-4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be
the Son of God,

command that these stones be made bread.

MT-4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not
live by bread

alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

MT-4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and
setteth him on a

pinnacle of the temple,

MT-4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down: for

it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:
and in [their]

hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy
foot against a

stone.

MT-4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord

thy God.

MT-4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and

showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

MT-4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee,
if thou wilt

fall down and worship me.

MT-4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for
it is written,

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve.

MT-4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came
and ministered

unto him.

MT-4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison,
he departed

into Galilee;

MT-4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum,
which is upon

the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

MT-4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias
the prophet,

saying,

MT-4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by]
the way of the

sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

MT-4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and
to them which

sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

MT-4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the

kingdom of heaven is at hand.

MT-4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two
brethren, Simon

called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea:
for they were

fishers.

MT-4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you
fishers of men.



MT-4:20 And they straightway left [their] nets, and followed
him.

MT-4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren,
James [the son]

of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their
father, mending

their nets; and he called them.

MT-4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father,
and followed him.



MT-4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and

preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of
sickness and all

manner of disease among the people.

MT-4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they
brought unto him all

sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments,
and those which

were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and
those that had

the palsy; and he healed them.

MT-4:25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from
Galilee, and

[from] Decapolis, and [from] Jerusalem, and [from] Judaea, and
[from] beyond

Jordan.

==== <MT5>

MT-5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:
and when he was

set, his disciples came unto him:

MT-5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

MT-5:3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.



MT-5:4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be
comforted.

MT-5:5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

MT-5:6 Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for

they shall be filled.

MT-5:7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

MT-5:8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

MT-5:9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called
the children of

God.

MT-5:10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for

theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

MT-5:11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and
persecute [you], and

shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

MT-5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your
reward in heaven:

for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

MT-5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost
his savour,

wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be

cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

MT-5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be

hid.

MT-5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
bushel, but on a

candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

MT-5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
your good works,

and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

MT-5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not

come to destroy, but to fulfil.

MT-5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one

tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

MT-5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and

shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom
of heaven: but

whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called
great in the

kingdom of heaven.

MT-5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed [the

righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case
enter into the

kingdom of heaven.

MT-5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not

kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
judgment:

MT-5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his
brother without a

cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall
say to his

brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever
shall say, Thou

fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

MT-5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and
there rememberest

that thy brother hath ought against thee;

MT-5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way;
first be

reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

MT-5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in
the way with

him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge,
and the judge

deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

MT-5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out
thence, till

thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

MT-5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not

commit adultery:

MT-5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman
to lust after

her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

MT-5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
cast [it] from

thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and

not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.

MT-5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast
[it] from

thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and

not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.

MT-5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her

a writing of divorcement:

MT-5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his
wife, saving for

the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and
whosoever shall

marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

MT-5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of
old time, Thou

shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord
thine oaths:

MT-5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven;
for it is

God's throne:

MT-5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
Jerusalem; for

it is the city of the great King.

MT-5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
canst not make one

hair white or black.

MT-5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for
whatsoever is

more than these cometh of evil.

MT-5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye,
and a tooth

for a tooth:

MT-5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but
whosoever shall smite

thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

MT-5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away
thy coat, let

him have [thy] cloak also.

MT-5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with
him twain.

MT-5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would
borrow of thee

turn not thou away.

MT-5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour,

and hate thine enemy.

MT-5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do

good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully
use you, and

persecute you;

MT-5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in
heaven: for he

maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth
rain on the

just and on the unjust.

MT-5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have
ye? do not even

the publicans the same?

MT-5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
[than others]? do

not even the publicans so?

MT-5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is
in heaven is

perfect.

==== <MT6>

MT-6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be
seen of them:

otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

MT-6:2 Therefore when thou doest [thine] alms, do not sound a
trumpet before

thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets,
that they may

have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

MT-6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know
what thy right

hand doeth:

MT-6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which
seeth in secret

himself shall reward thee openly.

MT-6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the
hypocrites [are]: for

they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners
of the streets,

that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward.

MT-6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and
when thou hast

shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy
Father which

seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

MT-6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the
heathen [do]: for

they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

MT-6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father
knoweth what things

ye have need of, before ye ask him.

MT-6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which
art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

MT-6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is]
in heaven.

MT-6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

MT-6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

MT-6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil: For thine

is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

MT-6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also

forgive you:

MT-6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither
will your Father

forgive your trespasses.

MT-6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a
sad

countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
appear unto men to

fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

MT-6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and
wash thy face;

MT-6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy
Father which is in

secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee
openly.

MT-6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust

doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

MT-6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor

rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor
steal:

MT-6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.

MT-6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine
eye be single,

thy whole body shall be full of light.

MT-6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full
of darkness. If

therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is]
that darkness!



MT-6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate
the one, and

love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye

cannot serve God and mammon.

MT-6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life,
what ye shall

eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye
shall put on. Is

not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

MT-6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither
do they reap,

nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much

better than they?

MT-6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto
his stature?

MT-6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field,

how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

MT-6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his
glory was not

arrayed like one of these.

MT-6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is,

and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more
[clothe] you, O

ye of little faith?

MT-6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
or, What shall

we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

MT-6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for
your heavenly

Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

MT-6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all

these things shall be added unto you.

MT-6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the
morrow shall take

thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is]
the evil

thereof.

==== <MT7>

MT-7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

MT-7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and
with what

measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

MT-7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's
eye, but

considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

MT-7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the
mote out of

thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?

MT-7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own
eye; and then

shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's
eye.

MT-7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast
ye your pearls

before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn
again and rend

you.

MT-7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it

shall be opened unto you:

MT-7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and

to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

MT-7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,
will he give

him a stone?

MT-7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

MT-7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts
unto your

children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good things

to them that ask him?

MT-7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do

ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

MT-7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate,
and broad [is]

the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go
in thereat:

MT-7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way,
which leadeth

unto life, and few there be that find it.

MT-7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but

inwardly they are ravening wolves.

MT-7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or

figs of thistles?

MT-7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but
a corrupt tree

bringeth forth evil fruit.

MT-7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither
[can] a corrupt

tree bring forth good fruit.

MT-7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast

into the fire.

MT-7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

MT-7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the

kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which
is in heaven.



MT-7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in

thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name
done many

wonderful works?

MT-7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me,

ye that work iniquity.

MT-7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and
doeth them, I

will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a
rock:

MT-7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and

beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a
rock.

MT-7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and
doeth them not,

shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon
the sand:

MT-7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and

beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

MT-7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings,
the people

were astonished at his doctrine:

MT-7:29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not
as the scribes.



==== <MT8>

MT-8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great
multitudes followed him.



MT-8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him,
saying, Lord, if

thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

MT-8:3 And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying,
I will; be

thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

MT-8:4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go
thy way, show

thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded,
for a testimony

unto them.

MT-8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came
unto him a

centurion, beseeching him,

MT-8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the
palsy,

grievously tormented.

MT-8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

MT-8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy
that thou

shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my
servant shall be

healed.

MT-8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me:
and I say to

this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he
cometh; and to my

servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].

MT-8:10 When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them
that followed,

Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not
in Israel.

MT-8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east
and west, and

shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the
kingdom of heaven.

MT-8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into
outer darkness:

there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MT-8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as
thou hast

believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed
in the selfsame

hour.

MT-8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his
wife's mother

laid, and sick of a fever.

MT-8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and
she arose, and

ministered unto them.

MT-8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that
were possessed

with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and
healed all that

were sick:

MT-8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias
the prophet,

saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses.

MT-8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
commandment to

depart unto the other side.

MT-8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I
will follow

thee whithersoever thou goest.

MT-8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the
birds of the

air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his]
head.

MT-8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord,
suffer me first to

go and bury my father.

MT-8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead
bury their dead.



MT-8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples
followed him.

MT-8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea,
insomuch that the

ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

MT-8:25 And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying,
Lord, save us:

we perish.

MT-8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of
little faith? Then

he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a
great calm.

MT-8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is
this, that even

the winds and the sea obey him!

MT-8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country
of the

Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out
of the tombs,

exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

MT-8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do
with thee,

Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us
before the time?

MT-8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many
swine feeding.



MT-8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,
suffer us to

go away into the herd of swine.

MT-8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out,
they went into

the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran
violently down a

steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

MT-8:33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into
the city, and

told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the
devils.

MT-8:34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and
when they saw

him, they besought [him] that he would depart out of their
coasts.

==== <MT9>

MT-9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came
into his own

city.

MT-9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy,
lying on a

bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the
palsy; Son, be of

good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

MT-9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within
themselves, This [man]

blasphemeth.

MT-9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think
ye evil in your

hearts?

MT-9:5 For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven
thee; or to say,

Arise, and walk?

MT-9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on
earth to forgive

sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up
thy bed, and go

unto thine house.

MT-9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

MT-9:8 But when the multitude saw [it], they marvelled, and
glorified God,

which had given such power unto men.

MT-9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man,
named Matthew,

sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow
me. And he

arose, and followed him.

MT-9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house,
behold, many

publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his
disciples.

MT-9:11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his
disciples, Why

eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

MT-9:12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They
that be whole

need not a physician, but they that are sick.

MT-9:13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have
mercy, and not

sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.



MT-9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do
we and the

Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

MT-9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the
bridechamber mourn,

as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come,
when the

bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

MT-9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment,
for that

which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the
rent is made

worse.

MT-9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the
bottles break,

and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put
new wine into

new bottles, and both are preserved.

MT-9:18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there
came a certain

ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead:
but come and

lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

MT-9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his
disciples.

MT-9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue
of blood twelve

years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment:

MT-9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his
garment, I shall

be whole.

MT-9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he
said, Daughter, be

of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman
was made whole

from that hour.

MT-9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the
minstrels and

the people making a noise,

MT-9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead,
but sleepeth.

And they laughed him to scorn.

MT-9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and
took her by the

hand, and the maid arose.

MT-9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

MT-9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed
him, crying,

and saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.

MT-9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came
to him: and

Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this?
They said unto

him, Yea, Lord.

MT-9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your
faith be it unto

you.

MT-9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged
them, saying,

See [that] no man know [it].

MT-9:31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his
fame in all that

country.

MT-9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb
man possessed

with a devil.

MT-9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and
the multitudes

marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

MT-9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through
the prince of

the devils.

MT-9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their

synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing
every sickness

and every disease among the people.

MT-9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with
compassion on them,

because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having
no shepherd.

MT-9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly
[is] plenteous,

but the labourers [are] few;

MT-9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will
send forth

labourers into his harvest.

==== <MT10>

MT-10:1 And when he had called unto [him] his twelve disciples,
he gave them

power [against] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal
all manner of

sickness and all manner of disease.

MT-10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The
first, Simon, who

is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James [the son] of
Zebedee, and John

his brother;

MT-10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the
publican; James [the

son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

MT-10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also
betrayed him.

MT-10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them,
saying, Go not into

the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans
enter ye not:

MT-10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

MT-10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
at hand.

MT-10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
out devils:

freely ye have received, freely give.

MT-10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your
purses,

MT-10:10 Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats,
neither shoes, nor

yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

MT-10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter,
inquire who in it is

worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

MT-10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

MT-10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon
it: but if it be

not worthy, let your peace return to you.

MT-10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your
words, when ye

depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your
feet.

MT-10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
the land of

Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

MT-10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of
wolves: be ye

therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

MT-10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
councils, and

they will scourge you in their synagogues;

MT-10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for
my sake, for a

testimony against them and the Gentiles.

MT-10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or
what ye shall

speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall
speak.

MT-10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your
Father which

speaketh in you.

MT-10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death,
and the father

the child: and the children shall rise up against [their]
parents, and cause

them to be put to death.

MT-10:22 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake:
but he that

endureth to the end shall be saved.

MT-10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into
another: for

verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of
Israel, till

the Son of man be come.

MT-10:24 The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the
servant above his

lord.

MT-10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master,
and the

servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house
Beelzebub, how

much more [shall they call] them of his household?

MT-10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered,
that shall not

be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

MT-10:27 What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light:
and what ye

hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops.

MT-10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not
able to kill the

soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and
body in hell.



MT-10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of
them shall not

fall on the ground without your Father.

MT-10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

MT-10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.

MT-10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him
will I confess

also before my Father which is in heaven.

MT-10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I
also deny before

my Father which is in heaven.

MT-10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I
came not to send

peace, but a sword.

MT-10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the

daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her
mother in law.



MT-10:36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.

MT-10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not
worthy of me: and

he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

MT-10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after
me, is not

worthy of me.

MT-10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life

for my sake shall find it.

MT-10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that
receiveth me

receiveth him that sent me.

MT-10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet
shall receive a

prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the
name of a

righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

MT-10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these
little ones a cup

of cold [water] only in the name of a disciple, verily I say
unto you, he shall

in no wise lose his reward.

==== <MT11>

MT-11:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of
commanding his

twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in
their cities.

MT-11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of
Christ, he sent two

of his disciples,

MT-11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do
we look for

another?

MT-11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John
again those things

which ye do hear and see:

MT-11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the
lepers are

cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the
poor have the

gospel preached to them.

MT-11:6 And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in
me.

MT-11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the
multitudes

concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A
reed shaken

with the wind?

MT-11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment?

behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.

MT-11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say
unto you, and

more than a prophet.

MT-11:10 For this is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I
send my messenger

before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

MT-11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of
women there hath

not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he
that is least in

the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

MT-11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the
kingdom of heaven

suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

MT-11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

MT-11:14 And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was
for to come.

MT-11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

MT-11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is
like unto children

sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

MT-11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not
danced; we have

mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

MT-11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they
say, He hath a

devil.

MT-11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say,
Behold a man

gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
But wisdom is

justified of her children.

MT-11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of
his mighty works

were done, because they repented not:

MT-11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for
if the mighty

works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have

repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

MT-11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
Tyre and Sidon at

the day of judgment, than for you.

MT-11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven,
shalt be brought

down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in
thee, had been

done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

MT-11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable
for the land of

Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

MT-11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O
Father, Lord of

heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the
wise and prudent,

and hast revealed them unto babes.

MT-11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

MT-11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no
man knoweth the

Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save
the Son, and [he]

to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him].

MT-11:28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will

give you rest.

MT-11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek
and lowly in

heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

MT-11:30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.

==== <MT12>

MT-12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the
corn; and his

disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn,
and to eat.

MT-12:2 But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him,
Behold, thy

disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

MT-12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did,
when he was an

hungred, and they that were with him;

MT-12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
showbread, which

was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with
him, but only

for the priests?

MT-12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath
days the

priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

MT-12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater
than the

temple.

MT-12:7 But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have
mercy, and not

sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

MT-12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

MT-12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their
synagogue:

MT-12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had [his] hand
withered. And they

asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days?
that they might

accuse him.

MT-12:11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among
you, that shall

have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day,
will he not lay

hold on it, and lift [it] out?

MT-12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore
it is lawful to

do well on the sabbath days.

MT-12:13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand.
And he stretched

[it] forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

MT-12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council
against him, how they

might destroy him.

MT-12:15 But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from
thence: and great

multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

MT-12:16 And charged them that they should not make him known:

MT-12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias
the prophet,

saying,

MT-12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in
whom my soul is

well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show
judgment to the

Gentiles.

MT-12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man
hear his voice in

the streets.

MT-12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax
shall he not

quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

MT-12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

MT-12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil,
blind, and

dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both
spake and saw.

MT-12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this
the son of

David?

MT-12:24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This
[fellow] doth not

cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

MT-12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them,
Every kingdom

divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city
or house

divided against itself shall not stand:

MT-12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against
himself; how shall

then his kingdom stand?

MT-12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
children cast

[them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.

MT-12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then
the kingdom of

God is come unto you.

MT-12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house,
and spoil his

goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will
spoil his house.

MT-12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that
gathereth not with

me scattereth abroad.

MT-12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and
blasphemy shall be

forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost
shall not be

forgiven unto men.

MT-12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man,
it shall be

forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it
shall not be

forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to
come.

MT-12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else
make the tree

corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his]
fruit.

MT-12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak
good things?

for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

MT-12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good

things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth
evil things.

MT-12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men
shall speak, they

shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

MT-12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy
words thou shalt

be condemned.

MT-12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees
answered, saying,

Master, we would see a sign from thee.

MT-12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and
adulterous generation

seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it,
but the sign of

the prophet Jonas:

MT-12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the
whale's belly; so

shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart
of the earth.



MT-12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and

shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of
Jonas; and, behold,

a greater than Jonas [is] here.

MT-12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment
with this

generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the
uttermost parts of the

earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than
Solomon [is]

here.

MT-12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he
walketh through dry

places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

MT-12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence
I came out;

and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.

MT-12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other
spirits more

wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the
last [state] of

that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto
this wicked

generation.

MT-12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his]
mother and his

brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

MT-12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy
brethren stand

without, desiring to speak with thee.

MT-12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who
is my mother?

and who are my brethren?

MT-12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples,
and said,

Behold my mother and my brethren!

MT-12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is
in heaven, the

same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

==== <MT13>

MT-13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by
the sea side.

MT-13:2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him,
so that he went

into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

MT-13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a

sower went forth to sow;

MT-13:4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side,
and the fowls

came and devoured them up:

MT-13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much
earth: and

forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

MT-13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and
because they had no

root, they withered away.

MT-13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up,
and choked them:



MT-13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth
fruit, some an

hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

MT-13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

MT-13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why
speakest thou unto

them in parables?

MT-13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given
unto you to know

the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not
given.

MT-13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he
shall have more

abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away
even that he

hath.

MT-13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they
seeing see not;

and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

MT-13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which
saith, By

hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye
shall see, and

shall not perceive:

MT-13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their]
ears are dull of

hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they
should see with

[their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, and should understand
with [their]

heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

MT-13:16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your
ears, for they

hear.

MT-13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and
righteous [men]

have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not
seen [them]; and

to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].

MT-13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

MT-13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
understandeth [it]

not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which
was sown in his

heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

MT-13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the
same is he that

heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

MT-13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a
while: for when

tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and
by he is

offended.

MT-13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that
heareth the

word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of
riches, choke the

word, and he becometh unfruitful.

MT-13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he
that heareth the

word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and
bringeth forth,

some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

MT-13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The
kingdom of heaven

is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

MT-13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares
among the wheat,

and went his way.

MT-13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth
fruit, then

appeared the tares also.

MT-13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto
him, Sir, didst

not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it
tares?

MT-13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The
servants said unto

him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

MT-13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares,
ye root up also

the wheat with them.

MT-13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the
time of harvest

I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares,
and bind them in

bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

MT-13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The
kingdom of heaven

is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed
in his field:

MT-13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is
grown, it is

the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds
of the air

come and lodge in the branches thereof.

MT-13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of
heaven is like

unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of
meal, till the

whole was leavened.

MT-13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in
parables; and

without a parable spake he not unto them:

MT-13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, saying, I

will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have
been kept secret

from the foundation of the world.

MT-13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the
house: and his

disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of
the tares of

the field.

MT-13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the
good seed is the

Son of man;

MT-13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children
of the

kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];

MT-13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is
the end of the

world; and the reapers are the angels.

MT-13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the
fire; so shall

it be in the end of this world.

MT-13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they
shall gather out

of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do
iniquity;

MT-13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing

and gnashing of teeth.

MT-13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the
kingdom of

their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

MT-13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid
in a field;

the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof
goeth and

selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

MT-13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant
man, seeking

goodly pearls:

MT-13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went
and sold all

that he had, and bought it.

MT-13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that
was cast into

the sea, and gathered of every kind:

MT-13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat
down, and

gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

MT-13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels
shall come forth,

and sever the wicked from among the just,

MT-13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing

and gnashing of teeth.

MT-13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these
things? They say

unto him, Yea, Lord.

MT-13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which
is] instructed

unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an
householder, which

bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.

MT-13:53 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished
these parables,

he departed thence.

MT-13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught
them in their

synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence
hath this [man]

this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?

MT-13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother
called Mary? and

his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

MT-13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then
hath this

[man] all these things?

MT-13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto
them, A prophet is

not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own
house.

MT-13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of
their unbelief.

==== <MT14>

MT-14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of
Jesus,

MT-14:2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist;
he is risen from

the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in
him.

MT-14:3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put
[him] in

prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

MT-14:4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to
have her.

MT-14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the
multitude,

because they counted him as a prophet.

MT-14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of
Herodias danced

before them, and pleased Herod.

MT-14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her
whatsoever she would

ask.

MT-14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said,
Give me here

John Baptist's head in a charger.

MT-14:9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's
sake, and them

which sat with him at meat, he commanded [it] to be given [her].

MT-14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

MT-14:11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to
the damsel: and

she brought [it] to her mother.

MT-14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and
buried it, and went

and told Jesus.

MT-14:13 When Jesus heard [of it], he departed thence by ship
into a desert

place apart: and when the people had heard [thereof], they
followed him on foot

out of the cities.

MT-14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and
was moved with

compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

MT-14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him,
saying, This is a

desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away,
that they may

go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

MT-14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give
ye them to eat.



MT-14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves,
and two fishes.



MT-14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.

MT-14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the
grass, and took the

five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he
blessed, and

brake, and gave the loaves to [his] disciples, and the disciples
to the

multitude.

MT-14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took
up of the

fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

MT-14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men,
beside women

and children.

MT-14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get
into a ship,

and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the
multitudes away.

MT-14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up
into a mountain

apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

MT-14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed
with waves: for

the wind was contrary.

MT-14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto
them, walking on

the sea.

MT-14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea,
they were

troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

MT-14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of
good cheer; it

is I; be not afraid.

MT-14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou,
bid me come

unto thee on the water.

MT-14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of
the ship, he

walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

MT-14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to

sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

MT-14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and
caught him, and

said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou
doubt?

MT-14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

MT-14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped
him, saying, Of a

truth thou art the Son of God.

MT-14:34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land
of Gennesaret.



MT-14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him,
they sent out

into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that
were diseased;



MT-14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of
his garment:

and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

==== <MT15>

MT-15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
Jerusalem,

saying,

MT-15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the
elders? for they

wash not their hands when they eat bread.

MT-15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also
transgress the

commandment of God by your tradition?

MT-15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother:
and, He that

curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

MT-15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or
[his] mother, [It

is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

MT-15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be
free]. Thus have

ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

MT-15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you,
saying,

MT-15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
honoureth me

with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.

MT-15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for]
doctrines the

commandments of men.

MT-15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear,
and

understand:

MT-15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man;
but that which

cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

MT-15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest
thou that the

Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

MT-15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my
heavenly Father hath

not planted, shall be rooted up.

MT-15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind.
And if the blind

lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

MT-15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us
this parable.



MT-15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

MT-15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in
at the mouth

goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

MT-15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come
forth from the

heart; and they defile the man.

MT-15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries,

fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

MT-15:20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat
with unwashen

hands defileth not a man.

MT-15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts
of Tyre and

Sidon.

MT-15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same
coasts, and cried

unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] son of David;
my daughter is

grievously vexed with a devil.

MT-15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came
and besought

him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

MT-15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the
lost sheep of

the house of Israel.

MT-15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help
me.

MT-15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children's

bread, and cast [it] to dogs.

MT-15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the
crumbs which fall

from their masters' table.

MT-15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great
[is] thy faith:

be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made
whole from that

very hour.

MT-15:29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the
sea of

Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

MT-15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them
[those that

were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them
down at Jesus'

feet; and he healed them:

MT-15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw
the dumb to

speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind
to see: and they

glorified the God of Israel.

MT-15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and said,
I have

compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now
three days, and

have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest
they faint in

the way.

MT-15:33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have
so much bread

in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

MT-15:34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye?
And they said,

Seven, and a few little fishes.

MT-15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the
ground.

MT-15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave
thanks, and

brake [them], and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to
the multitude.

MT-15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took
up of the broken

[meat] that was left seven baskets full.

MT-15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside
women and

children.

MT-15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and
came into the

coasts of Magdala.

==== <MT16>

MT-16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and
tempting desired him

that he would show them a sign from heaven.

MT-16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye
say, [It will

be] fair weather: for the sky is red.

MT-16:3 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day:
for the sky is

red and lowering. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of
the sky; but

can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?

MT-16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign;
and there

shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet
Jonas. And he left

them, and departed.

MT-16:5 And when his disciples were come to the other side,
they had forgotten

to take bread.

MT-16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the

Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

MT-16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is]
because we have

taken no bread.

MT-16:8 [Which] when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye
of little faith,

why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

MT-16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five
loaves of the five

thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

MT-16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how
many baskets

ye took up?

MT-16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it]
not to you

concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of

the Sadducees?

MT-16:12 Then understood they how that he bade [them] not
beware of the leaven

of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees.

MT-16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his

disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

MT-16:14 And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the
Baptist: some,

Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

MT-16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

MT-16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,
the Son of

the living God.

MT-16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou,
Simon

Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee,
but my Father

which is in heaven.

MT-16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and
upon this rock I

will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.

MT-16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven: and

whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever

thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

MT-16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no
man that he

was Jesus the Christ.

MT-16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his
disciples, how that

he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders
and chief

priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the
third day.

MT-16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying,
Be it far from

thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

MT-16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me,
Satan: thou

art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that
be of God, but

those that be of men.

MT-16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will
come after me,

let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

MT-16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will

lose his life for my sake shall find it.

MT-16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole
world, and

lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his
soul?

MT-16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his
Father with his

angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his
works.

MT-16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here,
which shall not

taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his
kingdom.

==== <MT17>

MT-17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John
his brother,

and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

MT-17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did
shine as the sun,

and his raiment was white as the light.

MT-17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias
talking with

him.

MT-17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is
good for us to

be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one
for thee, and

one for Moses, and one for Elias.

MT-17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed
them: and

behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I

am well pleased; hear ye him.

MT-17:6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their
face, and were

sore afraid.

MT-17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and
be not afraid.

MT-17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,
save Jesus

only.

MT-17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged
them, saying,

Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again
from the dead.

MT-17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the
scribes that

Elias must first come?

MT-17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly
shall first come,

and restore all things.

MT-17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and
they knew him

not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise
shall also the Son

of man suffer of them.

MT-17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them
of John the

Baptist.

MT-17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came
to him a

[certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

MT-17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is a lunatic, and
sore vexed: for

ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

MT-17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not
cure him.

MT-17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
generation,

how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring
him hither to

me.

MT-17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of
him: and the

child was cured from that very hour.

MT-17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why
could not we

cast him out?

MT-17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief:
for verily I say

unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall
say unto this

mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and
nothing shall

be impossible unto you.

MT-17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and
fasting.

MT-17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them,
The Son of man

shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

MT-17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be
raised again.

And they were exceeding sorry.

MT-17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that
received tribute

[money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay
tribute?

MT-17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house,
Jesus prevented

him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of
the earth take

custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

MT-17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto
him, Then are

the children free.

MT-17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou
to the sea, and

cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and
when thou hast

opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take,
and give unto

them for me and thee.

==== <MT18>

MT-18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,
Who is the

greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

MT-18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him
in the midst of

them,

MT-18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted,
and become as

little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

MT-18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little
child, the

same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

MT-18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my
name receiveth me.



MT-18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which
believe in me,

it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his
neck, and [that]

he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

MT-18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must
needs be that

offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

MT-18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them
off, and cast

[them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt
or maimed,

rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into
everlasting fire.

MT-18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast
[it] from thee:

it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather
than having two

eyes to be cast into hell fire.

MT-18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
for I say

unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face
of my Father

which is in heaven.

MT-18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

MT-18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one
of them be gone

astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into
the mountains,

and seeketh that which is gone astray?

MT-18:13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you,
he rejoiceth

more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not
astray.

MT-18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in
heaven, that

one of these little ones should perish.

MT-18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him

his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee,
thou hast gained

thy brother.

MT-18:16 But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee
one or two more,

that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be
established.

MT-18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto
the church: but

if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a
heathen man and a

publican.

MT-18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on
earth shall be

bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be
loosed in

heaven.

MT-18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree
on earth as

touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for
them of my Father

which is in heaven.

MT-18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I

in the midst of them.

MT-18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall
my brother sin

against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

MT-18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven
times: but,

Until seventy times seven.

MT-18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a
certain king, which

would take account of his servants.

MT-18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto
him, which owed

him ten thousand talents.

MT-18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded
him to be

sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and
payment to be made.



MT-18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him,
saying, Lord,

have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

MT-18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with
compassion, and loosed

him, and forgave him the debt.

MT-18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his
fellowservants,

which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and
took [him] by

the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

MT-18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and
besought him,

saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

MT-18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison,
till he should

pay the debt.

MT-18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they
were very sorry,

and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

MT-18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto
him, O thou

wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou
desiredst me:

MT-18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant,

even as I had pity on thee?

MT-18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the
tormentors, till he

should pay all that was due unto him.

MT-18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you,
if ye from

your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

==== <MT19>

MT-19:1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished
these sayings, he

departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond
Jordan;

MT-19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them
there.

MT-19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and
saying unto him,

Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

MT-19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read,
that he which

made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,

MT-19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
mother, and

shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

MT-19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God

hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

MT-19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
writing of

divorcement, and to put her away?

MT-19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of
your hearts

suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it
was not so.

MT-19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
except [it be]

for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery:
and whoso

marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

MT-19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be
so with [his]

wife, it is not good to marry.

MT-19:11 But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this
saying, save

[they] to whom it is given.

MT-19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
[their] mother's

womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men:
and there be

eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of
heaven's sake.

He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

MT-19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that
he should put

[his] hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

MT-19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come

unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

MT-19:15 And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed thence.

MT-19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master,
what good thing

shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

MT-19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there
is] none good

but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep
the

commandments.

MT-19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no
murder, Thou

shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false

witness,

MT-19:19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt
love thy

neighbour as thyself.

MT-19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I
kept from my

youth up: what lack I yet?

MT-19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and]
sell that thou

hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come

[and] follow me.

MT-19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for

he had great possessions.

MT-19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto
you, That a

rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

MT-19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to
go through the

eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom
of God.

MT-19:25 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly
amazed, saying,

Who then can be saved?

MT-19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men
this is

impossible; but with God all things are possible.

MT-19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
forsaken all,

and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

MT-19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That
ye which have

followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit
in the throne of

his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of

Israel.

MT-19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren,
or sisters, or

father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's
sake, shall

receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

MT-19:30 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last
[shall be]

first.

==== <MT20>

MT-20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is]
an householder,

which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his
vineyard.

MT-20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a
day, he sent

them into his vineyard.

MT-20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others
standing idle in

the marketplace,

MT-20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is

right I will give you. And they went their way.

MT-20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and
did likewise.

MT-20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found
others standing

idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

MT-20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He
saith unto them,

Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, [that]
shall ye receive.



MT-20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith
unto his

steward, Call the labourers, and give them [their] hire,
beginning from the

last unto the first.

MT-20:9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh
hour, they

received every man a penny.

MT-20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they
should have received

more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

MT-20:11 And when they had received [it], they murmured against
the goodman of

the house,

MT-20:12 Saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour, and
thou hast made

them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the
day.

MT-20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do
thee no wrong:

didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

MT-20:14 Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give
unto this last,

even as unto thee.

MT-20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine
own? Is thine eye

evil, because I am good?

MT-20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for
many be called,

but few chosen.

MT-20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve
disciples apart in

the way, and said unto them,

MT-20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
shall be betrayed

unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall
condemn him to

death,

MT-20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to
scourge, and to

crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise again.

MT-20:20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with
her sons,

worshipping [him], and desiring a certain thing of him.

MT-20:21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto
him, Grant that

these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the
other on the

left, in thy kingdom.

MT-20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask.
Are ye able to

drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with
the baptism

that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

MT-20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my
cup, and be

baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on
my right hand,

and on my left, is not mine to give, but [it shall be given to
them] for whom

it is prepared of my Father.

MT-20:24 And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with
indignation against

the two brethren.

MT-20:25 But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Ye know
that the princes

of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are
great exercise

authority upon them.

MT-20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will
be great among

you, let him be your minister;

MT-20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant:

MT-20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto,
but to

minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

MT-20:29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude
followed him.

MT-20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side,
when they heard

that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O
Lord, [thou] son

of David.

MT-20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should
hold their peace:

but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord,
[thou] son of David.



MT-20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What
will ye that I

shall do unto you?

MT-20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

MT-20:34 So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their
eyes: and

immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

==== <MT21>

MT-21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come
to Bethphage,

unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

MT-21:2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you,
and

straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her:
loose [them], and

bring [them] unto me.

MT-21:3 And if any [man] say ought unto you, ye shall say, The
Lord hath need

of them; and straightway he will send them.

MT-21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the

prophet, saying,

MT-21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh
unto thee, meek,

and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

MT-21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

MT-21:7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them
their clothes, and

they set [him] thereon.

MT-21:8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the
way; others

cut down branches from the trees, and strowed [them] in the way.

MT-21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed,
cried, saying,

Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the
name of the

Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

MT-21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was
moved, saying,

Who is this?

MT-21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of
Nazareth of

Galilee.

MT-21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out
all them that

sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers,

and the seats of them that sold doves,

MT-21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be
called the house

of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

MT-21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple;
and he healed

them.

MT-21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the
wonderful things that

he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying,
Hosanna to the son

of David; they were sore displeased,

MT-21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And
Jesus saith unto

them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings thou

hast perfected praise?

MT-21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into
Bethany; and he

lodged there.

MT-21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he
hungered.

MT-21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it,
and found

nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit
grow on thee

henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

MT-21:20 And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled,
saying, How soon is

the fig tree withered away!

MT-21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto
you, If ye have

faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done]
to the fig

tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou

cast into the sea; it shall be done.

MT-21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye

shall receive.

MT-21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief
priests and the

elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said,
By what

authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this
authority?

MT-21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask
you one thing,

which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what
authority I do these

things.

MT-21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of
men? And they

reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven;
he will say

unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

MT-21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for
all hold John as

a prophet.

MT-21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And
he said unto

them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

MT-21:28 But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and
he came to the

first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

MT-21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he
repented, and

went.

MT-21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he
answered and

said, I [go], sir: and went not.

MT-21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of [his] father?
They say unto

him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That the

publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

MT-21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness,
and ye believed

him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye,
when ye had

seen [it], repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

MT-21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder,
which planted

a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in
it, and built

a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far
country:

MT-21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his
servants to the

husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

MT-21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one,
and killed

another, and stoned another.

MT-21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and
they did unto

them likewise.

MT-21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying,
They will

reverence my son.

MT-21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves, This

is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his
inheritance.

MT-21:39 And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the
vineyard, and slew

[him].

MT-21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what
will he do unto

those husbandmen?

MT-21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those
wicked men, and

will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall
render him the

fruits in their seasons.

MT-21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the
scriptures, The stone

which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the
corner: this is

the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

MT-21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be
taken from you,

and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

MT-21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken:
but on

whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

MT-21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
parables, they

perceived that he spake of them.

MT-21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared
the multitude,

because they took him for a prophet.

==== <MT22>

MT-22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by
parables, and said,

MT-22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king,
which made a

marriage for his son,

MT-22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were
bidden to the

wedding: and they would not come.

MT-22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them
which are

bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my]
fatlings [are]

killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the marriage.

MT-22:5 But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one
to his farm,

another to his merchandise:

MT-22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them]
spitefully,

and slew [them].

MT-22:7 But when the king heard [thereof], he was wroth: and he
sent forth his

armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

MT-22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready,
but they which

were bidden were not worthy.

MT-22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye
shall find, bid

to the marriage.

MT-22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and
gathered together

all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding
was furnished

with guests.

MT-22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw
there a man which

had not on a wedding garment:

MT-22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in
hither not having a

wedding garment? And he was speechless.

MT-22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and
foot, and take

him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be
weeping and

gnashing of teeth.

MT-22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.

MT-22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they
might entangle him

in [his] talk.

MT-22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the
Herodians,

saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way
of God in

truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not
the person of

men.

MT-22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to
give tribute

unto Caesar, or not?

MT-22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why
tempt ye me, [ye]

hypocrites?

MT-22:19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a
penny.

MT-22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and
superscription?

MT-22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them,
Render

therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto
God the things

that are God's.

MT-22:22 When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and
left him, and

went their way.

MT-22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that
there is no

resurrection, and asked him,

MT-22:24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no
children, his

brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

MT-22:25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first,
when he had

married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife
unto his brother:



MT-22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the
seventh.

MT-22:27 And last of all the woman died also.

MT-22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be
of the seven?

for they all had her.

MT-22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not
knowing the

scriptures, nor the power of God.

MT-22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in

marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

MT-22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye
not read that

which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

MT-22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob?

God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

MT-22:33 And when the multitude heard [this], they were
astonished at his

doctrine.

MT-22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the
Sadducees to

silence, they were gathered together.

MT-22:35 Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a
question],

tempting him, and saying,

MT-22:36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?

MT-22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy

heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

MT-22:38 This is the first and great commandment.

MT-22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as

thyself.

MT-22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets.

MT-22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus
asked them,

MT-22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They
say unto him,

[The son] of David.

MT-22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call
him Lord,

saying,

MT-22:44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
till I make

thine enemies thy footstool?

MT-22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

MT-22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither
durst any [man]

from that day forth ask him any more [questions].

==== <MT23>

MT-23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

MT-23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses'
seat:

MT-23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that]
observe and do;

but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

MT-23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne,
and lay [them]

on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them
with one of their

fingers.

MT-23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they
make broad

their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

MT-23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief
seats in the

synagogues,

MT-23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men,
Rabbi, Rabbi.

MT-23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
[even] Christ; and

all ye are brethren.

MT-23:9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one
is your Father,

which is in heaven.

MT-23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,
[even] Christ.



MT-23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant.

MT-23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and
he that shall

humble himself shall be exalted.

MT-23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye shut up

the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in
[yourselves], neither

suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

MT-23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye devour

widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore
ye shall receive

the greater damnation.

MT-23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye compass sea

and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him
twofold more

the child of hell than yourselves.

MT-23:16 Woe unto you, [ye] blind guides, which say, Whosoever
shall swear by

the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold
of the temple,

he is a debtor!

MT-23:17 [Ye] fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold,
or the temple

that sanctifieth the gold?

MT-23:18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing;
but whosoever

sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

MT-23:19 [Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the
gift, or the

altar that sanctifieth the gift?

MT-23:20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by
it, and by all

things thereon.

MT-23:21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it,
and by him that

dwelleth therein.

MT-23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the
throne of God, and

by him that sitteth thereon.

MT-23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye pay tithe of

mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier
[matters] of the law,

judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not
to leave the

other undone.

MT-23:24 [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow
a camel.

MT-23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye make clean

the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are
full of

extortion and excess.

MT-23:26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is]
within the cup

and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

MT-23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye are like unto

whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but
are within full

of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness.

MT-23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,
but within ye

are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

MT-23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because ye build the

tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the
righteous,

MT-23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we
would not have

been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

MT-23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are
the children

of them which killed the prophets.

MT-23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

MT-23:33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye
escape the

damnation of hell?

MT-23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise
men, and

scribes: and [some] of them ye shall kill and crucify; and
[some] of them shall

ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute [them] from city to
city:

MT-23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed
upon the earth,

from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son
of Barachias,

whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

MT-23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come
upon this

generation.

MT-23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the
prophets, and stonest

them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered
thy children

together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings,
and ye would

not!

MT-23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

MT-23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall

say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

==== <MT24>

MT-24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and
his disciples

came to [him] for to show him the buildings of the temple.

MT-24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things?
verily I say

unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another,
that shall not

be thrown down.

MT-24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples
came unto him

privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
[shall be] the

sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

MT-24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that
no man deceive

you.

MT-24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive

many.

MT-24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that
ye be not

troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end
is not yet.

MT-24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and

there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places.

MT-24:8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.

MT-24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and
shall kill you:

and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

MT-24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one
another, and

shall hate one another.

MT-24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
many.

MT-24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold.

MT-24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall
be saved.

MT-24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in
all the world for

a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

MT-24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of

by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth,
let him

understand:)

MT-24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains:

MT-24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take
any thing out

of his house:

MT-24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to
take his

clothes.

MT-24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in

those days!

MT-24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the

sabbath day:

MT-24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
since the

beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

MT-24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be

saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

MT-24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is]
Christ, or there;

believe [it] not.

MT-24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall

show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were]
possible, they shall

deceive the very elect.

MT-24:25 Behold, I have told you before.

MT-24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in
the desert; go

not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it]
not.

MT-24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto

the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

MT-24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles
be gathered

together.

MT-24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall
the sun be

darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars
shall fall from

heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

MT-24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then

shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the
Son of man

coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

MT-24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and

they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from
one end of

heaven to the other.

MT-24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch
is yet tender,

and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:

MT-24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is

near, [even] at the doors.

MT-24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass,
till all these

things be fulfilled.

MT-24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away.

MT-24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the
angels of

heaven, but my Father only.

MT-24:37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the
coming of the Son of

man be.

MT-24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they
were eating and

drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that
Noe entered into

the ark,

MT-24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all
away; so shall

also the coming of the Son of man be.

MT-24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,
and the other

left.

MT-24:41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one
shall be taken,

and the other left.

MT-24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord
doth come.

MT-24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had
known in what

watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not
have suffered

his house to be broken up.

MT-24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye
think not the

Son of man cometh.

MT-24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord
hath made

ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

MT-24:46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he
cometh shall find so

doing.

MT-24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler
over all his

goods.

MT-24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart,
My lord delayeth

his coming;

MT-24:49 And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to
eat and drink

with the drunken;

MT-24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
looketh not for

[him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,

MT-24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his
portion with the

hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

==== <MT25>

MT-25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten
virgins, which

took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

MT-25:2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.

MT-25:3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no
oil with them:



MT-25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

MT-25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and
slept.

MT-25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh;

go ye out to meet him.

MT-25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

MT-25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil;
for our lamps

are gone out.

MT-25:9 But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be
not enough for

us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves.

MT-25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and
they that were

ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

MT-25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord,
Lord, open to

us.

MT-25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I
know you not.

MT-25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the
hour wherein the

Son of man cometh.

MT-25:14 For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling
into a far

country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them
his goods.

MT-25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and
to another

one; to every man according to his several ability; and
straightway took his

journey.

MT-25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and
traded with the

same, and made [them] other five talents.

MT-25:17 And likewise he that [had received] two, he also
gained other two.

MT-25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the
earth, and hid

his lord's money.

MT-25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh,
and reckoneth

with them.

MT-25:20 And so he that had received five talents came and
brought other five

talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents:
behold, I have

gained beside them five talents more.

MT-25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and
faithful servant:

thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many

things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

MT-25:22 He also that had received two talents came and said,
Lord, thou

deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other
talents beside

them.

MT-25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful
servant; thou

hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler
over many things:

enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

MT-25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and
said, Lord, I knew

thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown,
and gathering

where thou hast not strowed:

MT-25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the
earth: lo,

[there] thou hast [that is] thine.

MT-25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, [Thou] wicked and
slothful

servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather
where I have

not strowed:

MT-25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and

[then] at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

MT-25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto
him which hath

ten talents.

MT-25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he
shall have

abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even
that which he

hath.

MT-25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer
darkness: there shall

be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MT-25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all
the holy angels

with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

MT-25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he
shall separate

them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from
the goats:

MT-25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the
goats on the

left.

MT-25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand,
Come, ye blessed

of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the

world:

MT-25:35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was
thirsty, and ye

gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

MT-25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited
me: I was in

prison, and ye came unto me.

MT-25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee

an hungered, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink?

MT-25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or
naked, and

clothed [thee]?

MT-25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto
thee?

MT-25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I
say unto you,

Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye

have done [it] unto me.

MT-25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye

cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his
angels:

MT-25:42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was
thirsty, and ye

gave me no drink:

MT-25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye
clothed me

not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

MT-25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when
saw we thee an

hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in
prison, and did

not minister unto thee?

MT-25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as

ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to
me.

MT-25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:
but the

righteous into life eternal.

==== <MT26>

MT-26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
sayings, he

said unto his disciples,

MT-26:2 Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the
passover, and the

Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

MT-26:3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the
scribes, and the

elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who
was called

Caiaphas,

MT-26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety,
and kill [him].



MT-26:5 But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an
uproar among

the people.

MT-26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon
the leper,

MT-26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of
very precious

ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat [at meat].

MT-26:8 But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation,
saying, To what

purpose [is] this waste?

MT-26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and
given to the

poor.

MT-26:10 When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why
trouble ye the

woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

MT-26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have
not always.

MT-26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body,
she did [it]

for my burial.

MT-26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall
be preached in

the whole world, [there] shall also this, that this woman hath
done, be told

for a memorial of her.

MT-26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went
unto the chief

priests,

MT-26:15 And said [unto them], What will ye give me, and I will
deliver him

unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of
silver.

MT-26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

MT-26:17 Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread
the disciples

came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare
for thee to eat

the passover?

MT-26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say
unto him, The

Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at
thy house with my

disciples.

MT-26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and
they made

ready the passover.

MT-26:20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the
twelve.

MT-26:21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you,
that one of you

shall betray me.

MT-26:22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one
of them to say

unto him, Lord, is it I?

MT-26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand
with me in the

dish, the same shall betray me.

MT-26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe
unto that man

by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that
man if he had not

been born.

MT-26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said,
Master, is it I?

He said unto him, Thou hast said.

MT-26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed
[it], and

brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat;
this is my

body.

MT-26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to
them, saying,

Drink ye all of it;

MT-26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for

the remission of sins.

MT-26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of
this fruit of the

vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's
kingdom.

MT-26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the
mount of

Olives.

MT-26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended
because of me

this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and
the sheep of the

flock shall be scattered abroad.

MT-26:32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into
Galilee.

MT-26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all [men]
shall be offended

because of thee, [yet] will I never be offended.

MT-26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this
night, before

the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

MT-26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee,
yet will I not

deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

MT-26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane, and saith

unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

MT-26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,
and began to

be sorrowful and very heavy.

MT-26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto

death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

MT-26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face,
and prayed,

saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from
me: nevertheless

not as I will, but as thou [wilt].

MT-26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them
asleep, and saith

unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

MT-26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the
spirit indeed

[is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.

MT-26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying,
O my Father,

if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy
will be done.

MT-26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their
eyes were heavy.

MT-26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the
third time,

saying the same words.

MT-26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them,
Sleep on now,

and take [your] rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son
of man is

betrayed into the hands of sinners.

MT-26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth
betray me.

MT-26:47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve,
came, and with

him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief
priests and elders

of the people.

MT-26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
Whomsoever I shall

kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

MT-26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master;
and kissed

him.

MT-26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou
come? Then came

they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

MT-26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus
stretched out [his]

hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high
priest's, and smote

off his ear.

MT-26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into
his place: for

all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

MT-26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and
he shall

presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

MT-26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that
thus it must be?



MT-26:55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye
come out as

against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat
daily with you

teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

MT-26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the
prophets might be

fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

MT-26:57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [him] away to
Caiaphas the

high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

MT-26:58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's
palace, and

went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

MT-26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council,
sought false

witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

MT-26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came,
[yet] found

they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

MT-26:61 And said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the
temple of God,

and to build it in three days.

MT-26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him,
Answerest thou nothing?

what [is it which] these witness against thee?

MT-26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered
and said unto

him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether
thou be the

Christ, the Son of God.

MT-26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I
say unto you,

Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand
of power, and

coming in the clouds of heaven.

MT-26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath
spoken

blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now
ye have heard

his blasphemy.

MT-26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of
death.

MT-26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and
others smote

[him] with the palms of their hands,

MT-26:68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that
smote thee?

MT-26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came
unto him,

saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

MT-26:70 But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not
what thou sayest.



MT-26:71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another
[maid] saw him, and

said unto them that were there, This [fellow] was also with
Jesus of Nazareth.



MT-26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the
man.

MT-26:73 And after a while came unto [him] they that stood by,
and said to

Peter, Surely thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech
bewrayeth thee.

MT-26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying], I know
not the man.

And immediately the cock crew.

MT-26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said
unto him, Before

the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and
wept bitterly.

==== <MT27>

MT-27:1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and
elders of the

people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

MT-27:2 And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and
delivered him to

Pontius Pilate the governor.

MT-27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he
was condemned,

repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver
to the chief

priests and elders,

MT-27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the
innocent blood. And

they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].

MT-27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple,
and departed, and

went and hanged himself.

MT-27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said,
It is not

lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the
price of blood.

MT-27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the
potter's field, to

bury strangers in.

MT-27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,
unto this day.

MT-27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
prophet,

saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of
him that was

valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

MT-27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord
appointed me.

MT-27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor
asked him,

saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him,
Thou sayest.

MT-27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and
elders, he answered

nothing.

MT-27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many
things they

witness against thee?

MT-27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
governor

marvelled greatly.

MT-27:15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release
unto the people

a prisoner, whom they would.

MT-27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

MT-27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate
said unto them,

Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which
is called

Christ?

MT-27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

MT-27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife
sent unto him,

saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have
suffered many

things this day in a dream because of him.

MT-27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the
multitude that they

should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

MT-27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of
the twain will

ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

MT-27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with
Jesus which is

called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

MT-27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done?
But they cried

out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

MT-27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but
[that] rather a

tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before
the multitude,

saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye
[to it].

MT-27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be]
on us, and on

our children.

MT-27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had
scourged Jesus,

he delivered [him] to be crucified.

MT-27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the
common hall,

and gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers].

MT-27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

MT-27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put
[it] upon his

head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee
before him, and

mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

MT-27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote
him on the head.



MT-27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe
off from him,

and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify
[him].

MT-27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name: him

they compelled to bear his cross.

MT-27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha,
that is to say,

a place of a skull,

MT-27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and
when he had

tasted [thereof], he would not drink.

MT-27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments,
casting lots: that

it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They
parted my garments

among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

MT-27:36 And sitting down they watched him there;

MT-27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS
IS JESUS THE

KING OF THE JEWS.

MT-27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on
the right

hand, and another on the left.

MT-27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their
heads,

MT-27:40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest [it] in

three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down
from the cross.



MT-27:41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with
the scribes and

elders, said,

MT-27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the
King of Israel,

let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

MT-27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will
have him: for

he said, I am the Son of God.

MT-27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast
the same in his

teeth.

MT-27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all
the land unto the

ninth hour.

MT-27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli,

Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast
thou forsaken

me?

MT-27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that],
said, This

[man] calleth for Elias.

MT-27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge,
and filled [it]

with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink.

MT-27:49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will
come to save

him.

MT-27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice,
yielded up the

ghost.

MT-27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain
from the top to

the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

MT-27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the
saints which slept

arose,

MT-27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and
went into the

holy city, and appeared unto many.

MT-27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him,
watching Jesus,

saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared
greatly,

saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

MT-27:55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which
followed Jesus

from Galilee, ministering unto him:

MT-27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James and

Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

MT-27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of
Arimathaea, named

Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

MT-27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then
Pilate

commanded the body to be delivered.

MT-27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a
clean linen

cloth,

MT-27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out
in the rock:

and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and
departed.

MT-27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary,
sitting over

against the sepulchre.

MT-27:62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the
preparation, the chief

priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

MT-27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said,
while he was yet

alive, After three days I will rise again.

MT-27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure
until the third

day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and
say unto the

people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be
worse than the

first.

MT-27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way,
make [it] as

sure as ye can.

MT-27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the
stone, and

setting a watch.

==== <MT28>

MT-28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward
the first [day]

of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the
sepulchre.

MT-28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the
angel of the Lord

descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from
the door, and

sat upon it.

MT-28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment
white as snow:

MT-28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became
as dead [men].

MT-28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear
not ye: for I

know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

MT-28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see
the place where

the Lord lay.

MT-28:7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen
from the dead;

and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye
see him: lo, I

have told you.

MT-28:8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear
and great joy;

and did run to bring his disciples word.

MT-28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus
met them,

saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and
worshipped him.

MT-28:10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my
brethren that

they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

MT-28:11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch
came into the

city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were
done.

MT-28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had
taken counsel,

they gave large money unto the soldiers,

MT-28:13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole
him [away]

while we slept.

MT-28:14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will
persuade him, and

secure you.

MT-28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught:
and this saying

is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

MT-28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into
a mountain

where Jesus had appointed them.

MT-28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
doubted.

MT-28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power
is given unto

me in heaven and in earth.

MT-28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of

the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

MT-28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you:

and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world.
Amen.
