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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.



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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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].

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.

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.



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.

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.

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.



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.
