11 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a
declaration of those things which are most surely believed among
us .

12 Even as they delivered them unto us which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word .

13 It seemed good to me also having had perfect understanding
of all things from the very first to write unto thee in order
most excellent Theophilus .

14 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things
wherein thou hast been instructed .

15 There was in the days of Herod the king of Judaea a certain
priest named Zacharias of the course of Abia and his wife was of
the daughters of Aaron and her name was Elisabeth .

16 And they were both righteous before God walking in all the
commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless .

17 And they had no child because that Elisabeth was barren and
they both were now well stricken in years .

18 And it came to pass that while he executed the priest's
office before God in the order of his course .

19 According to the custom of the priest's office his lot was
to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord .

110 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without
at the time of incense .

111 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing
on the right side of the altar of incense .

112 And when Zacharias saw him he was troubled and fear fell
upon him .

113 But the angel said unto him Fear not Zacharias for thy
prayer is heard and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son and
thou shalt call his name John .

114 And thou shalt have joy and gladness and many shall rejoice
at his birth .

115 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and shall
drink neither wine nor strong drink and he shall be filled with
the Holy Ghost even from his mother's womb .

116 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the
Lord their God .

117 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias
to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the
disobedient to the wisdom of the just to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord .

118 And Zacharias said unto the angel Whereby shall I know this
for I am an old man and my wife well stricken in years .

119 And the angel answering said unto him I am Gabriel that
stand in the presence of God and am sent to speak unto thee and
to shew thee these glad tidings .

120 And behold thou shalt be dumb and not able to speak until
the day that these things shall be performed because thou
believest not my words which shall be fulfilled in their season .

121 And the people waited for Zacharias and marvelled that he
tarried so long in the temple .

122 And when he came out he could not speak unto them and they
perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple for he
beckoned unto them and remained speechless .

123 And it came to pass that as soon as the days of his
ministration were accomplished he departed to his own house .

124 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived and hid
herself five months saying .

125 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he
looked on me to take away my reproach among men .

126 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth .

127 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph of the
house of David and the virgin's name was Mary .

128 And the angel came in unto her and said Hail thou that art
highly favoured the Lord is with thee blessed art thou among
women .

129 And when she saw him she was troubled at his saying and
cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be .

130 And the angel said unto her Fear not Mary for thou hast
found favour with God .

131 And behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth
a son and shalt call his name JESUS .

132 He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the
Highest and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his
father David .

133 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever and of
his kingdom there shall be no end .

134 Then said Mary unto the angel How shall this be seeing I
know not a man .

135 And the angel answered and said unto her The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee therefore also that holy thing which shall be
born of thee shall be called the Son of God .

136 And behold thy cousin Elisabeth she hath also conceived a
son in her old age and this is the sixth month with her who was
called barren .

137 For with God nothing shall be impossible .

138 And Mary said Behold the handmaid of the Lord be it unto me
according to thy word And the angel departed from her .

139 And Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country
with haste into a city of Juda .

140 And entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted
Elisabeth .

141 And it came to pass that when Elisabeth heard the
salutation of Mary the babe leaped in her womb and Elisabeth was
filled with the Holy Ghost .

142 And she spake out with a loud voice and said Blessed art
thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb .

143 And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should
come to me .

144 For lo as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
mine ears the babe leaped in my womb for joy .

145 And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a
performance of those things which were told her from the Lord .

146 And Mary said My soul doth magnify the Lord .

147 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour .

148 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden for
behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed .

149 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things and holy
is his name .

150 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to
generation .

151 He hath shewed strength with his arm he hath scattered the
proud in the imagination of their hearts .

152 He hath put down the mighty from their seats and exalted
them of low degree .

153 He hath filled the hungry with good things and the rich he
hath sent empty away .

154 He hath holpen his servant Israel in remembrance of his
mercy .

155 As he spake to our fathers to Abraham and to his seed for
ever .

156 And Mary abode with her about three months and returned to
her own house .

157 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered
and she brought forth a son .

158 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had
shewed great mercy upon her and they rejoiced with her .

159 And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to
circumcise the child and they called him Zacharias after the
name of his father .

160 And his mother answered and said Not so but he shall be
called John .

161 And they said unto her There is none of thy kindred that is
called by this name .

162 And they made signs to his father how he would have him
called .

163 And he asked for a writing table and wrote saying His name
is John And they marvelled all .

164 And his mouth was opened immediately and his tongue loosed
and he spake and praised God .

165 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them and all
these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country
of Judaea .

166 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts
saying What manner of child shall this be And the hand of the
Lord was with him .

167 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost and
prophesied saying .

168 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for he hath visited and
redeemed his people .

169 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house
of his servant David .

170 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets which have
been since the world began .

171 That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand
of all that hate us .

172 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers and to
remember his holy covenant .

173 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham .

174 That he would grant unto us that we being delivered out of
the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear .

175 In holiness and righteousness before him all the days of
our life .

176 And thou child shalt be called the prophet of the Highest
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his
ways .

177 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the
remission of their sins .

178 Through the tender mercy of our God whereby the dayspring
from on high hath visited us .

179 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death to guide our feet into the way of peace .

180 And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit and was in
the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel .

* 21 And it came to pass in those days that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed .

22 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor
of Syria .

23 And all went to be taxed every one into his own city .

24 And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of
Nazareth into Judaea unto the city of David which is called
Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David .

25 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being great with
child .

26 And so it was that while they were there the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered .

27 And she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no
room for them in the inn .

28 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the
field keeping watch over their flock by night .

29 And lo the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid .

210 And the angel said unto them Fear not for behold I bring
you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people .

211 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour which is Christ the Lord .

212 And this shall be a sign unto you Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger .

213 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God and saying .

214 Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace good will
toward men .

215 And it came to pass as the angels were gone away from them
into heaven the shepherds said one to another Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass which
the Lord hath made known unto us .

216 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the
babe lying in a manger .

217 And when they had seen it they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child .

218 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds .

219 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her
heart .

220 And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard and seen as it was told unto
them .

221 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising
of the child his name was called JESUS which was so named of the
angel before he was conceived in the womb .

222 And when the days of her purification according to the law
of Moses were accomplished they brought him to Jerusalem to
present him to the Lord .

223 (As it is written in the law of the Lord Every male that
openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord .

224 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in
the law of the Lord A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons .

225 And behold there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was
Simeon and the same man was just and devout waiting for the
consolation of Israel and the Holy Ghost was upon him .

226 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost that he
should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ .

227 And he came by the Spirit into the temple and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him after the
custom of the law .

228 Then took he him up in his arms and blessed God and said .

229 Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according
to thy word .

230 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation .

231 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people .

232 A light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of thy people
Israel .

233 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which
were spoken of him .

234 And Simeon blessed them and said unto Mary his mother
Behold this child is set for the fall and rising again of many
in Israel and for a sign which shall be spoken against .

235 (Yea a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also that
the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed .

236 And there was one Anna a prophetess the daughter of Phanuel
of the tribe of Aser she was of a great age and had lived with
an husband seven years from her virginity .

237 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years which
departed not from the temple but served God with fastings and
prayers night and day .

238 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto
the Lord and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption
in Jerusalem .

239 And when they had performed all things according to the law
of the Lord they returned into Galilee to their own city
Nazareth .

240 And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit filled with
wisdom and the grace of God was upon him .

241 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast
of the passover .

242 And when he was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem
after the custom of the feast .

243 And when they had fulfilled the days as they returned the
child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem and Joseph and his
mother knew not of it .

244 But they supposing him to have been in the company went a
day's journey and they sought him among their kinsfolk and
acquaintance .

245 And when they found him not they turned back again to
Jerusalem seeking him .

246 And it came to pass that after three days they found him in
the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors both hearing them
and asking them questions .

247 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding
and answers .

248 And when they saw him they were amazed and his mother said
unto him Son why hast thou thus dealt with us behold thy father
and I have sought thee sorrowing .

249 And he said unto them How is it that ye sought me wist ye
not that I must be about my Father's business .

250 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them
.

251 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was
subject unto them but his mother kept all these sayings in her
heart .

252 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour
with God and man .

* 31 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea and Herod being tetrarch
of Galilee and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the
region of Trachonitis and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene .

32 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests the word of God
came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness .

33 And he came into all the country about Jordan preaching the
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins .

34 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
prophet saying The voice of one crying in the wilderness Prepare
ye the way of the Lord make his paths straight .

35 Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill
shall be brought low and the crooked shall be made straight and
the rough ways shall be made smooth .

36 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God .

37 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized
of him O generation of vipers who hath warned you to flee from
the wrath to come .

38 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance and begin
not to say within yourselves We have Abraham to our father for I
say unto you That God is able of these stones to raise up
children unto Abraham .

39 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees
every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down and cast into the fire .

310 And the people asked him saying What shall we do then .

311 He answereth and saith unto them He that hath two coats let
him impart to him that hath none and he that hath meat let him
do likewise .

312 Then came also publicans to be baptized and said unto him
Master what shall we do .

313 And he said unto them Exact no more than that which is
appointed you .

314 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him saying And what
shall we do And he said unto them Do violence to no man neither
accuse any falsely and be content with your wages .

315 And as the people were in expectation and all men mused in
their hearts of John whether he were the Christ or not .

316 John answered saying unto them all I indeed baptize you
with water but one mightier than I cometh the latchet of whose
shoes I am not worthy to unloose he shall baptize you with the
Holy Ghost and with fire .

317 Whose fan is in his hand and he will throughly purge his
floor and will gather the wheat into his garner but the chaff he
will burn with fire unquenchable .

318 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto
the people .

319 But Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him for Herodias
his brother Philip's wife and for all the evils which Herod had
done .

320 Added yet this above all that he shut up John in prison .

321 Now when all the people were baptized it came to pass that
Jesus also being baptized and praying the heaven was opened .

322 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove
upon him and a voice came from heaven which said Thou art my
beloved Son in thee I am well pleased .

323 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age
being (as was supposed the son of Joseph which was the son of
Heli .

which was the son of Melchi which was the son of Janna which was

* 41 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from
Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness .

42 Being forty days tempted of the devil And in those days he
did eat nothing and when they were ended he afterward hungered .

43 And the devil said unto him If thou be the Son of God
command this stone that it be made bread .

44 And Jesus answered him saying It is written That man shall
not live by bread alone but by every word of God .

45 And the devil taking him up into an high mountain shewed
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time .

46 And the devil said unto him All this power will I give thee
and the glory of them for that is delivered unto me and to
whomsoever I will I give it .

47 If thou therefore wilt worship me all shall be thine .

48 And Jesus answered and said unto him Get thee behind me
Satan for it is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and
him only shalt thou serve .

49 And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a pinnacle of
the temple and said unto him If thou be the Son of God cast
thyself down from hence .

410 For it is written He shall give his angels charge over thee
to keep thee .

411 And in their hands they shall bear thee up lest at any time
thou dash thy foot against a stone .

412 And Jesus answering said unto him It is said Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God .

413 And when the devil had ended all the temptation he departed
from him for a season .

414 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee
and there went out a fame of him through all the region round
about .

415 And he taught in their synagogues being glorified of all .

416 And he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as
his custom was he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day and
stood up for to read .

417 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet
Esaias And when he had opened the book he found the place where
it was written .

418 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted to preach deliverance to the captives and
recovering of sight to the blind to set at liberty them that are
bruised .

419 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord .

420 And he closed the book and he gave it again to the minister
and sat down And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him .

421 And he began to say unto them This day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears .

422 And all bare him witness and wondered at the gracious words
which proceeded out of his mouth And they said Is not this
Joseph's son .

423 And he said unto them Ye will surely say unto me this
proverb Physician heal thyself whatsoever we have heard done in
Capernaum do also here in thy country .

424 And he said Verily I say unto you No prophet is accepted in
his own country .

425 But I tell you of a truth many widows were in Israel in the
days of Elias when the heaven was shut up three years and six
months when great famine was throughout all the land .

426 But unto none of them was Elias sent save unto Sarepta a
city of Sidon unto a woman that was a widow .

427 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the
prophet and none of them was cleansed saving Naaman the Syrian .

428 And all they in the synagogue when they heard these things
were filled with wrath .

429 And rose up and thrust him out of the city and led him unto
the brow of the hill whereon their city was built that they
might cast him down headlong .

430 But he passing through the midst of them went his way .

431 And came down to Capernaum a city of Galilee and taught
them on the sabbath days .

432 And they were astonished at his doctrine for his word was
with power .

433 And in the synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of
an unclean devil and cried out with a loud voice .

434 Saying Let us alone what have we to do with thee thou Jesus
of Nazareth art thou come to destroy us I know thee who thou art
the Holy One of God .

435 And Jesus rebuked him saying Hold thy peace and come out of
him And when the devil had thrown him in the midst he came out
of him and hurt him not .

436 And they were all amazed and spake among themselves saying
What a word is this for with authority and power he commandeth
the unclean spirits and they come out .

437 And the fame of him went out into every place of the
country round about .

438 And he arose out of the synagogue and entered into Simon's
house And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever and
they besought him for her .

439 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever and it left her
and immediately she arose and ministered unto them .

440 Now when the sun was setting all they that had any sick
with divers diseases brought them unto him and he laid his hands
on every one of them and healed them .

441 And devils also came out of many crying out and saying Thou
art Christ the Son of God And he rebuking them suffered them not
to speak for they knew that he was Christ .

442 And when it was day he departed and went into a desert
place and the people sought him and came unto him and stayed him
that he should not depart from them .

443 And he said unto them I must preach the kingdom of God to
other cities also for therefore am I sent .

444 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee .

* 51 And it came to pass that as the people pressed upon him to
hear the word of God he stood by the lake of Gennesaret .

52 And saw two ships standing by the lake but the fishermen
were gone out of them and were washing their nets .

53 And he entered into one of the ships which was Simon's and
prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land And
he sat down and taught the people out of the ship .

54 Now when he had left speaking he said unto Simon Launch out
into the deep and let down your nets for a draught .

55 And Simon answering said unto him Master we have toiled all
the night and have taken nothing nevertheless at thy word I will
let down the net .

56 And when they had this done they inclosed a great multitude
of fishes and their net brake .

57 And they beckoned unto their partners which were in the
other ship that they should come and help them And they came and
filled both the ships so that they began to sink .

58 When Simon Peter saw it he fell down at Jesus' knees saying
Depart from me for I am a sinful man O Lord .

59 For he was astonished and all that were with him at the
draught of the fishes which they had taken .

510 And so was also James and John the sons of Zebedee which
were partners with Simon And Jesus said unto Simon Fear not from
henceforth thou shalt catch men .

511 And when they had brought their ships to land they forsook
all and followed him .

512 And it came to pass when he was in a certain city behold a
man full of leprosy who seeing Jesus fell on his face and
besought him saying Lord if thou wilt thou canst make me clean .

513 And he put forth his hand and touched him saying I will be
thou clean And immediately the leprosy departed from him .

514 And he charged him to tell no man but go and shew thyself
to the priest and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses
commanded for a testimony unto them .

515 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him and
great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him
of their infirmities .

516 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed .

517 And it came to pass on a certain day as he was teaching
that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by
which were come out of every town of Galilee and Judaea and
Jerusalem and the power of the Lord was present to heal them .

518 And behold men brought in a bed a man which was taken with
a palsy and they sought means to bring him in and to lay him
before him .

519 And when they could not find by what way they might bring
him in because of the multitude they went upon the housetop and
let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst
before Jesus .

520 And when he saw their faith he said unto him Man thy sins
are forgiven thee .

521 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason saying
Who is this which speaketh blasphemies Who can forgive sins but
God alone .

522 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts he answering said
unto them What reason ye in your hearts .

523 Whether is easier to say Thy sins be forgiven thee or to
say Rise up and walk .

524 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon
earth to forgive sins (he said unto the sick of the palsy I say
unto thee Arise and take up thy couch and go into thine house .

525 And immediately he rose up before them and took up that
whereon he lay and departed to his own house glorifying God .

526 And they were all amazed and they glorified God and were
filled with fear saying We have seen strange things to day .

527 And after these things he went forth and saw a publican
named Levi sitting at the receipt of custom and he said unto him
Follow me .

528 And he left all rose up and followed him .

529 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house and there
was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down
with them .

530 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his
disciples saying Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and
sinners .

531 And Jesus answering said unto them They that are whole need
not a physician but they that are sick .

532 I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance .

533 And they said unto him Why do the disciples of John fast
often and make prayers and likewise the disciples of the
Pharisees but thine eat and drink .

534 And he said unto them Can ye make the children of the
bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them .

535 But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken
away from them and then shall they fast in those days .

536 And he spake also a parable unto them No man putteth a
piece of a new garment upon an old if otherwise then both the
new maketh a rent and the piece that was taken out of the new
agreeth not with the old .

537 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles else the new
wine will burst the bottles and be spilled and the bottles shall
perish .

538 But new wine must be put into new bottles and both are
preserved .

539 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new
for he saith The old is better .

* 61 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first
that he went through the corn fields and his disciples plucked
the ears of corn and did eat rubbing them in their hands .

62 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them Why do ye that
which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days .

63 And Jesus answering them said Have ye not read so much as
this what David did when himself was an hungered and they which
were with him .

64 How he went into the house of God and did take and eat the
shewbread and gave also to them that were with him which it is
not lawful to eat but for the priests alone .

65 And he said unto them That the Son of man is Lord also of
the sabbath .

66 And it came to pass also on another sabbath that he entered
into the synagogue and taught and there was a man whose right
hand was withered .

67 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him whether he would
heal on the sabbath day that they might find an accusation
against him .

68 But he knew their thoughts and said to the man which had the
withered hand Rise up and stand forth in the midst And he arose
and stood forth .

69 Then said Jesus unto them I will ask you one thing Is it
lawful on the sabbath days to do good or to do evil to save life
or to destroy it .

610 And looking round about upon them all he said unto the man
Stretch forth thy hand And he did so and his hand was restored
whole as the other .

611 And they were filled with madness and communed one with
another what they might do to Jesus .

612 And it came to pass in those days that he went out into a
mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God .

613 And when it was day he called unto him his disciples and of
them he chose twelve whom also he named apostles .

614 Simon (whom he also named Peter and Andrew his brother
James and John Philip and Bartholomew .

615 Matthew and Thomas James the son of Alphaeus and Simon
called Zelotes .

616 And Judas the brother of James and Judas Iscariot which
also was the traitor .

617 And he came down with them and stood in the plain and the
company of his disciples and a great multitude of people out of
all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the sea coast of Tyre and
Sidon which came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases .

618 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits and they were
healed .

619 And the whole multitude sought to touch him for there went
virtue out of him and healed them all .

620 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said Blessed
be ye poor for yours is the kingdom of God .

621 Blessed are ye that hunger now for ye shall be filled
Blessed are ye that weep now for ye shall laugh .

622 Blessed are ye when men shall hate you and when they shall
separate you from their company and shall reproach you and cast
out your name as evil for the Son of man's sake .

623 Rejoice ye in that day and leap for joy for behold your
reward is great in heaven for in the like manner did their
fathers unto the prophets .

624 But woe unto you that are rich for ye have received your
consolation .

625 Woe unto you that are full for ye shall hunger Woe unto you
that laugh now for ye shall mourn and weep .

626 Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you for so
did their fathers to the false prophets .

627 But I say unto you which hear Love your enemies do good to
them which hate you .

628 Bless them that curse you and pray for them which
despitefully use you .

629 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also
the other and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take
thy coat also .

630 Give to every man that asketh of thee and of him that
taketh away thy goods ask them not again .

631 And as ye would that men should do to you do ye also to
them likewise .

632 For if ye love them which love you what thank have ye for
sinners also love those that love them .

633 And if ye do good to them which do good to you what thank
have ye for sinners also do even the same .

634 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive what
thank have ye for sinners also lend to sinners to receive as
much again .

635 But love ye your enemies and do good and lend hoping for
nothing again and your reward shall be great and ye shall be the
children of the Highest for he is kind unto the unthankful and
to the evil .

636 Be ye therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful .

637 Judge not and ye shall not be judged condemn not and ye
shall not be condemned forgive and ye shall be forgiven .

638 Give and it shall be given unto you good measure pressed
down and shaken together and running over shall men give into
your bosom For with the same measure that ye mete withal it
shall be measured to you again .

639 And he spake a parable unto them Can the blind lead the
blind shall they not both fall into the ditch .

640 The disciple is not above his master but every one that is
perfect shall be as his master .

641 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's
eye but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye .

642 Either how canst thou say to thy brother Brother let me
pull out the mote that is in thine eye when thou thyself
beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye Thou hypocrite
cast out first the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye .

643 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit neither
doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit .

644 For every tree is known by his own fruit For of thorns men
do not gather figs nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes .

645 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is good and an evil man out of the evil
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil for of
the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh .

646 And why call ye me Lord Lord and do not the things which I
say .

647 Whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth
them I will shew you to whom he is like .

648 He is like a man which built an house and digged deep and
laid the foundation on a rock and when the flood arose the
stream beat vehemently upon that house and could not shake it
for it was founded upon a rock .

649 But he that heareth and doeth not is like a man that
without a foundation built an house upon the earth against which
the stream did beat vehemently and immediately it fell and the
ruin of that house was great .

* 71 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of
the people he entered into Capernaum .

72 And a certain centurion's servant who was dear unto him was
sick and ready to die .

73 And when he heard of Jesus he sent unto him the elders of
the Jews beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant .

74 And when they came to Jesus they besought him instantly
saying That he was worthy for whom he should do this .

75 For he loveth our nation and he hath built us a synagogue .

76 Then Jesus went with them And when he was now not far from
the house the centurion sent friends to him saying unto him Lord
trouble not thyself for I am not worthy that thou shouldest
enter under my roof .

77 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee
but say in a word and my servant shall be healed .

78 For I also am a man set under authority having under me
soldiers and I say unto one Go and he goeth and to another Come
and he cometh and to my servant Do this and he doeth it .

79 When Jesus heard these things he marvelled at him and turned
him about and said unto the people that followed him I say unto
you I have not found so great faith no not in Israel .

710 And they that were sent returning to the house found the
servant whole that had been sick .

711 And it came to pass the day after that he went into a city
called Nain and many of his disciples went with him and much
people .

712 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city behold there
was a dead man carried out the only son of his mother and she
was a widow and much people of the city was with her .

713 And when the Lord saw her he had compassion on her and said
unto her Weep not .

714 And he came and touched the bier and they that bare him
stood still And he said Young man I say unto thee Arise .

715 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak And he
delivered him to his mother .

716 And there came a fear on all and they glorified God saying
That a great prophet is risen up among us and That God hath
visited his people .

717 And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea and
throughout all the region round about .

718 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things .

719 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to
Jesus saying Art thou he that should come or look we for another
.

720 When the men were come unto him they said John Baptist hath
sent us unto thee saying Art thou he that should come or look we
for another .

721 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities
and plagues and of evil spirits and unto many that were blind he
gave sight .

722 Then Jesus answering said unto them Go your way and tell
John what things ye have seen and heard how that the blind see
the lame walk the lepers are cleansed the deaf hear the dead are
raised to the poor the gospel is preached .

723 And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me .

724 And when the messengers of John were departed he began to
speak unto the people concerning John What went ye out into the
wilderness for to see A reed shaken with the wind .

725 But what went ye out for to see A man clothed in soft
raiment Behold they which are gorgeously apparelled and live
delicately are in kings' courts .

726 But what went ye out for to see A prophet Yea I say unto
you and much more than a prophet .

727 This is he of whom it is written Behold I send my messenger
before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee .

728 For I say unto you Among those that are born of women there
is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist but he that is
least in the kingdom of God is greater than he .

729 And all the people that heard him and the publicans
justified God being baptized with the baptism of John .

730 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
against themselves being not baptized of him .

731 And the Lord said Whereunto then shall I liken the men of
this generation and to what are they like .

732 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace and
calling one to another and saying We have piped unto you and ye
have not danced we have mourned to you and ye have not wept .

733 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking
wine and ye say He hath a devil .

734 The Son of man is come eating and drinking and ye say
Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber a friend of publicans
and sinners .

735 But wisdom is justified of all her children .

736 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with
him And he went into the Pharisee's house and sat down to meat .

737 And behold a woman in the city which was a sinner when she
knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house brought an
alabaster box of ointment .

738 And stood at his feet behind him weeping and began to wash
his feet with tears and did wipe them with the hairs of her head
and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment .

739 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it he spake
within himself saying This man if he were a prophet would have
known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him for
she is a sinner .

740 And Jesus answering said unto him Simon I have somewhat to
say unto thee And he saith Master say on .

741 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors the one
owed five hundred pence and the other fifty .

742 And when they had nothing to pay he frankly forgave them
both Tell me therefore which of them will love him most .

743 Simon answered and said I suppose that he to whom he
forgave most And he said unto him Thou hast rightly judged .

744 And he turned to the woman and said unto Simon Seest thou
this woman I entered into thine house thou gavest me no water
for my feet but she hath washed my feet with tears and wiped
them with the hairs of her head .

745 Thou gavest me no kiss but this woman since the time I came
in hath not ceased to kiss my feet .

746 My head with oil thou didst not anoint but this woman hath
anointed my feet with ointment .

747 Wherefore I say unto thee Her sins which are many are
forgiven for she loved much but to whom little is forgiven the
same loveth little .

748 And he said unto her Thy sins are forgiven .

749 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
themselves Who is this that forgiveth sins also .

750 And he said to the woman Thy faith hath saved thee go in
peace .

* 81 And it came to pass afterward that he went throughout
every city and village preaching and shewing the glad tidings of
the kingdom of God and the twelve were with him .

82 And certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and
infirmities Mary called Magdalene out of whom went seven devils .

83 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward and Susanna and
many others which ministered unto him of their substance .

84 And when much people were gathered together and were come to
him out of every city he spake by a parable .

85 A sower went out to sow his seed and as he sowed some fell
by the way side and it was trodden down and the fowls of the air
devoured it .

86 And some fell upon a rock and as soon as it was sprung up it
withered away because it lacked moisture .

87 And some fell among thorns and the thorns sprang up with it
and choked it .

88 And other fell on good ground and sprang up and bare fruit
an hundredfold And when he had said these things he cried He
that hath ears to hear let him hear .

89 And his disciples asked him saying What might this parable
be .

810 And he said Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of
the kingdom of God but to others in parables that seeing they
might not see and hearing they might not understand .

811 Now the parable is this The seed is the word of God .

812 Those by the way side are they that hear then cometh the
devil and taketh away the word out of their hearts lest they
should believe and be saved .

813 They on the rock are they which when they hear receive the
word with joy and these have no root which for a while believe
and in time of temptation fall away .

814 And that which fell among thorns are they which when they
have heard go forth and are choked with cares and riches and
pleasures of this life and bring no fruit to perfection .

815 But that on the good ground are they which in an honest and
good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit
with patience .

816 No man when he hath lighted a candle covereth it with a
vessel or putteth it under a bed but setteth it on a candlestick
that they which enter in may see the light .

817 For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest
neither any thing hid that shall not be known and come abroad .

818 Take heed therefore how ye hear for whosoever hath to him
shall be given and whosoever hath not from him shall be taken
even that which he seemeth to have .

819 Then came to him his mother and his brethren and could not
come at him for the press .

820 And it was told him by certain which said Thy mother and
thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee .

821 And he answered and said unto them My mother and my
brethren are these which hear the word of God and do it .

822 Now it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a
ship with his disciples and he said unto them Let us go over
unto the other side of the lake And they launched forth .

823 But as they sailed he fell asleep and there came down a
storm of wind on the lake and they were filled with water and
were in jeopardy .

824 And they came to him and awoke him saying Master master we
perish Then he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the
water and they ceased and there was a calm .

825 And he said unto them Where is your faith And they being
afraid wondered saying one to another What manner of man is this
for he commandeth even the winds and water and they obey him .

826 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes which is
over against Galilee .

827 And when he went forth to land there met him out of the
city a certain man which had devils long time and ware no
clothes neither abode in any house but in the tombs .

828 When he saw Jesus he cried out and fell down before him and
with a loud voice said What have I to do with thee Jesus thou
Son of God most high I beseech thee torment me not .

829 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the
man For oftentimes it had caught him and he was kept bound with
chains and in fetters and he brake the bands and was driven of
the devil into the wilderness .

830 And Jesus asked him saying What is thy name And he said
Legion because many devils were entered into him .

831 And they besought him that he would not command them to go
out into the deep .

832 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the
mountain and they besought him that he would suffer them to
enter into them And he suffered them .

833 Then went the devils out of the man and entered into the
swine and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the
lake and were choked .

834 When they that fed them saw what was done they fled and
went and told it in the city and in the country .

835 Then they went out to see what was done and came to Jesus
and found the man out of whom the devils were departed sitting
at the feet of Jesus clothed and in his right mind and they were
afraid .

836 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was
possessed of the devils was healed .

837 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes
round about besought him to depart from them for they were taken
with great fear and he went up into the ship and returned back
again .

838 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought
him that he might be with him but Jesus sent him away saying .

839 Return to thine own house and shew how great things God
hath done unto thee And he went his way and published throughout
the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him .

840 And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned the people
gladly received him for they were all waiting for him .

841 And behold there came a man named Jairus and he was a ruler
of the synagogue and he fell down at Jesus' feet and besought
him that he would come into his house .

842 For he had one only daughter about twelve years of age and
she lay a dying But as he went the people thronged him .

843 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years which had
spent all her living upon physicians neither could be healed of
any .

844 Came behind him and touched the border of his garment and
immediately her issue of blood stanched .

845 And Jesus said Who touched me When all denied Peter and
they that were with him said Master the multitude throng thee
and press thee and sayest thou Who touched me .

846 And Jesus said Somebody hath touched me for I perceive that
virtue is gone out of me .

847 And when the woman saw that she was not hid she came
trembling and falling down before him she declared unto him
before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how
she was healed immediately .

848 And he said unto her Daughter be of good comfort thy faith
hath made thee whole go in peace .

849 While he yet spake there cometh one from the ruler of the
synagogue's house saying to him Thy daughter is dead trouble not
the Master .

850 But when Jesus heard it he answered him saying Fear not
believe only and she shall be made whole .

851 And when he came into the house he suffered no man to go in
save Peter and James and John and the father and the mother of
the maiden .

852 And all wept and bewailed her but he said Weep not she is
not dead but sleepeth .

853 And they laughed him to scorn knowing that she was dead .

854 And he put them all out and took her by the hand and called
saying Maid arise .

855 And her spirit came again and she arose straightway and he
commanded to give her meat .

856 And her parents were astonished but he charged them that
they should tell no man what was done .

* 91 Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them
power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases .

92 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal
the sick .

93 And he said unto them Take nothing for your journey neither
staves nor scrip neither bread neither money neither have two
coats apiece .

94 And whatsoever house ye enter into there abide and thence
depart .

95 And whosoever will not receive you when ye go out of that
city shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony
against them .

96 And they departed and went through the towns preaching the
gospel and healing every where .

97 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him and
he was perplexed because that it was said of some that John was
risen from the dead .

98 And of some that Elias had appeared and of others that one
of the old prophets was risen again .

99 And Herod said John have I beheaded but who is this of whom
I hear such things And he desired to see him .

910 And the apostles when they were returned told him all that
they had done And he took them and went aside privately into a
desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida .

911 And the people when they knew it followed him and he
received them and spake unto them of the kingdom of God and
healed them that had need of healing .

912 And when the day began to wear away then came the twelve
and said unto him Send the multitude away that they may go into
the towns and country round about and lodge and get victuals for
we are here in a desert place .

913 But he said unto them Give ye them to eat And they said We
have no more but five loaves and two fishes except we should go
and buy meat for all this people .

914 For they were about five thousand men And he said to his
disciples Make them sit down by fifties in a company .

915 And they did so and made them all sit down .

916 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes and looking
up to heaven he blessed them and brake and gave to the disciples
to set before the multitude .

917 And they did eat and were all filled and there was taken up
of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets .

918 And it came to pass as he was alone praying his disciples
were with him and he asked them saying Whom say the people that
I am .

919 They answering said John the Baptist but some say Elias and
others say that one of the old prophets is risen again .

920 He said unto them But whom say ye that I am Peter answering
said The Christ of God .

921 And he straitly charged them and commanded them to tell no
man that thing .

922 Saying The Son of man must suffer many things and be
rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be
slain and be raised the third day .

923 And he said to them all If any man will come after me let
him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me .

924 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it but
whosoever will lose his life for my sake the same shall save it .

925 For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world and
lose himself or be cast away .

926 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words of him
shall the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his own
glory and in his Father's and of the holy angels .

927 But I tell you of a truth there be some standing here which
shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God .

928 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings
he took Peter and John and James and went up into a mountain to
pray .

929 And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance was altered
and his raiment was white and glistering .

930 And behold there talked with him two men which were Moses
and Elias .

931 Who appeared in glory and spake of his decease which he
should accomplish at Jerusalem .

932 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep
and when they were awake they saw his glory and the two men that
stood with him .

933 And it came to pass as they departed from him Peter said
unto Jesus Master it is good for us to be here and let us make
three tabernacles one for thee and one for Moses and one for
Elias not knowing what he said .

934 While he thus spake there came a cloud and overshadowed
them and they feared as they entered into the cloud .

935 And there came a voice out of the cloud saying This is my
beloved Son hear him .

936 And when the voice was past Jesus was found alone And they
kept it close and told no man in those days any of those things
which they had seen .

937 And it came to pass that on the next day when they were
come down from the hill much people met him .

938 And behold a man of the company cried out saying Master I
beseech thee look upon my son for he is mine only child .

939 And lo a spirit taketh him and he suddenly crieth out and
it teareth him that he foameth again and bruising him hardly
departeth from him .

940 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out and they could
not .

941 And Jesus answering said O faithless and perverse
generation how long shall I be with you and suffer you Bring thy
son hither .

942 And as he was yet a coming the devil threw him down and
tare him And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the
child and delivered him again to his father .

943 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God But
while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did he
said unto his disciples .

944 Let these sayings sink down into your ears for the Son of
man shall be delivered into the hands of men .

945 But they understood not this saying and it was hid from
them that they perceived it not and they feared to ask him of
that saying .

946 Then there arose a reasoning among them which of them
should be greatest .

947 And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart took a
child and set him by him .

948 And said unto them Whosoever shall receive this child in my
name receiveth me and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him
that sent me for he that is least among you all the same shall
be great .

949 And John answered and said Master we saw one casting out
devils in thy name and we forbad him because he followeth not
with us .

950 And Jesus said unto him Forbid him not for he that is not
against us is for us .

951 And it came to pass when the time was come that he should
be received up he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem .

952 And sent messengers before his face and they went and
entered into a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him .

953 And they did not receive him because his face was as though
he would go to Jerusalem .

954 And when his disciples James and John saw this they said
Lord wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and
consume them even as Elias did .

955 But he turned and rebuked them and said Ye know not what
manner of spirit ye are of .

956 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives but
to save them And they went to another village .

957 And it came to pass that as they went in the way a certain
man said unto him Lord I will follow thee whithersoever thou
goest .

958 And Jesus said unto him Foxes have holes and birds of the
air have nests but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head
.

959 And he said unto another Follow me But he said Lord suffer
me first to go and bury my father .

960 Jesus said unto him Let the dead bury their dead but go
thou and preach the kingdom of God .

961 And another also said Lord I will follow thee but let me
first go bid them farewell which are at home at my house .

962 And Jesus said unto him No man having put his hand to the
plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God .

* 101 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also
and sent them two and two before his face into every city and
place whither he himself would come .

102 Therefore said he unto them The harvest truly is great but
the labourers are few pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest
that he would send forth labourers into his harvest .

103 Go your ways behold I send you forth as lambs among wolves .

104 Carry neither purse nor scrip nor shoes and salute no man
by the way .

105 And into whatsoever house ye enter first say Peace be to
this house .

106 And if the son of peace be there your peace shall rest upon
it if not it shall turn to you again .

107 And in the same house remain eating and drinking such
things as they give for the labourer is worthy of his hire Go
not from house to house .

108 And into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you eat
such things as are set before you .

109 And heal the sick that are therein and say unto them The
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you .

1010 But into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you not
go your ways out into the streets of the same and say .

1011 Even the very dust of your city which cleaveth on us we do
wipe off against you notwithstanding be ye sure of this that the
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you .

1012 But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable in that
day for Sodom than for that city .

1013 Woe unto thee Chorazin woe unto thee Bethsaida for if the
mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been
done in you they had a great while ago repented sitting in
sackcloth and ashes .

1014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the
judgment than for you .

1015 And thou Capernaum which art exalted to heaven shalt be
thrust down to hell .

1016 He that heareth you heareth me and he that despiseth you
despiseth me and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me
.

1017 And the seventy returned again with joy saying Lord even
the devils are subject unto us through thy name .

1018 And he said unto them I beheld Satan as lightning fall
from heaven .

1019 Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall
by any means hurt you .

1020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not that the spirits are
subject unto you but rather rejoice because your names are
written in heaven .

1021 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said I thank
thee O Father Lord of heaven and earth that thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto
babes even so Father for so it seemed good in thy sight .

1022 All things are delivered to me of my Father and no man
knoweth who the Son is but the Father and who the Father is but
the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him .

1023 And he turned him unto his disciples and said privately
Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see .

1024 For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired
to see those things which ye see and have not seen them and to
hear those things which ye hear and have not heard them .

1025 And behold a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him
saying Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life .

1026 He said unto him What is written in the law how readest
thou .

1027 And he answering said Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy
strength and with all thy mind and thy neighbour as thyself .

1028 And he said unto him Thou hast answered right this do and
thou shalt live .

1029 But he willing to justify himself said unto Jesus And who
is my neighbour .

1030 And Jesus answering said A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves which stripped him
of his raiment and wounded him and departed leaving him half
dead .

1031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way
and when he saw him he passed by on the other side .

1032 And likewise a Levite when he was at the place came and
looked on him and passed by on the other side .

1033 But a certain Samaritan as he journeyed came where he was
and when he saw him he had compassion on him .

1034 And went to him and bound up his wounds pouring in oil and
wine and set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn and
took care of him .

1035 And on the morrow when he departed he took out two pence
and gave them to the host and said unto him Take care of him and
whatsoever thou spendest more when I come again I will repay
thee .

1036 Which now of these three thinkest thou was neighbour unto
him that fell among the thieves .

1037 And he said He that shewed mercy on him Then said Jesus
unto him Go and do thou likewise .

1038 Now it came to pass as they went that he entered into a
certain village and a certain woman named Martha received him
into her house .

1039 And she had a sister called Mary which also sat at Jesus'
feet and heard his word .

1040 But Martha was cumbered about much serving and came to him
and said Lord dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to
serve alone bid her therefore that she help me .

1041 And Jesus answered and said unto her Martha Martha thou
art careful and troubled about many things .

1042 But one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good
part which shall not be taken away from her .

* 111 And it came to pass that as he was praying in a certain
place when he ceased one of his disciples said unto him Lord
teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples .

112 And he said unto them When ye pray say Our Father which art
in heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done
as in heaven so in earth .

113 Give us day by day our daily bread .

114 And forgive us our sins for we also forgive every one that
is indebted to us And lead us not into temptation but deliver us
from evil .

115 And he said unto them Which of you shall have a friend and
shall go unto him at midnight and say unto him Friend lend me
three loaves .

116 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me and I
have nothing to set before him .

117 And he from within shall answer and say Trouble me not the
door is now shut and my children are with me in bed I cannot
rise and give thee .

118 I say unto you Though he will not rise and give him because
he is his friend yet because of his importunity he will rise and
give him as many as he needeth .

119 And I say unto you Ask and it shall be given you seek and
ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you .

1110 For every one that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh
findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened .

1111 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father
will he give him a stone or if he ask a fish will he for a fish
give him a serpent .

1112 Or if he shall ask an egg will he offer him a scorpion .

1113 If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto
your children how much more shall your heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to them that ask him .

1114 And he was casting out a devil and it was dumb And it came
to pass when the devil was gone out the dumb spake and the
people wondered .

1115 But some of them said He casteth out devils through
Beelzebub the chief of the devils .

1116 And others tempting him sought of him a sign from heaven .

1117 But he knowing their thoughts said unto them Every kingdom
divided against itself is brought to desolation and a house
divided against a house falleth .

1118 If Satan also be divided against himself how shall his
kingdom stand because ye say that I cast out devils through
Beelzebub .

1119 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils by whom do your sons
cast them out therefore shall they be your judges .

1120 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils no doubt
the kingdom of God is come upon you .

1121 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace his goods are
in peace .

1122 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him and
overcome him he taketh from him all his armour wherein he
trusted and divideth his spoils .

1123 He that is not with me is against me and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth .

1124 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh
through dry places seeking rest and finding none he saith I will
return unto my house whence I came out .

1125 And when he cometh he findeth it swept and garnished .

1126 Then goeth he and taketh to him seven other spirits more
wicked than himself and they enter in and dwell there and the
last state of that man is worse than the first .

1127 And it came to pass as he spake these things a certain
woman of the company lifted up her voice and said unto him
Blessed is the womb that bare thee and the paps which thou hast
sucked .

1128 But he said Yea rather blessed are they that hear the word
of God and keep it .

1129 And when the people were gathered thick together he began
to say This is an evil generation they seek a sign and there
shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonas the prophet .

1130 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites so shall also
the Son of man be to this generation .

1131 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with
the men of this generation and condemn them for she came from
the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and
behold a greater than Solomon is here .

1132 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation and shall condemn it for they repented at the
preaching of Jonas and behold a greater than Jonas is here .

1133 No man when he hath lighted a candle putteth it in a
secret place neither under a bushel but on a candlestick that
they which come in may see the light .

1134 The light of the body is the eye therefore when thine eye
is single thy whole body also is full of light but when thine
eye is evil thy body also is full of darkness .

1135 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not
darkness .

1136 If thy whole body therefore be full of light having no
part dark the whole shall be full of light as when the bright
shining of a candle doth give thee light .

1137 And as he spake a certain Pharisee besought him to dine
with him and he went in and sat down to meat .

1138 And when the Pharisee saw it he marvelled that he had not
first washed before dinner .

1139 And the Lord said unto him Now do ye Pharisees make clean
the outside of the cup and the platter but your inward part is
full of ravening and wickedness .

1140 Ye fools did not he that made that which is without make
that which is within also .

1141 But rather give alms of such things as ye have and behold
all things are clean unto you .

1142 But woe unto you Pharisees for ye tithe mint and rue and
all manner of herbs and pass over judgment and the love of God
these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone .

1143 Woe unto you Pharisees for ye love the uppermost seats in
the synagogues and greetings in the markets .

1144 Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for ye are
as graves which appear not and the men that walk over them are
not aware of them .

1145 Then answered one of the lawyers and said unto him Master
thus saying thou reproachest us also .

1146 And he said Woe unto you also ye lawyers for ye lade men
with burdens grievous to be borne and ye yourselves touch not
the burdens with one of your fingers .

1147 Woe unto you for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets
and your fathers killed them .

1148 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your
fathers for they indeed killed them and ye build their
sepulchres .

1149 Therefore also said the wisdom of God I will send them
prophets and apostles and some of them they shall slay and
persecute .

1150 That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the
foundation of the world may be required of this generation .

1151 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which
perished between the altar and the temple verily I say unto you
It shall be required of this generation .

1152 Woe unto you lawyers for ye have taken away the key of
knowledge ye entered not in yourselves and them that were
entering in ye hindered .

1153 And as he said these things unto them the scribes and the
Pharisees began to urge him vehemently and to provoke him to
speak of many things .

1154 Laying wait for him and seeking to catch something out of
his mouth that they might accuse him .

* 121 In the mean time when there were gathered together an
innumerable multitude of people insomuch that they trode one
upon another he began to say unto his disciples first of all
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy .

122 For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed
neither hid that shall not be known .

123 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be
heard in the light and that which ye have spoken in the ear in
closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops .

124 And I say unto you my friends Be not afraid of them that
kill the body and after that have no more that they can do .

125 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear Fear him which
after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell yea I say unto
you Fear him .

126 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings and not one of
them is forgotten before God .

127 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered Fear
not therefore ye are of more value than many sparrows .

128 Also I say unto you Whosoever shall confess me before men
him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God .

129 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before
the angels of God .

1210 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man it
shall be forgiven him but unto him that blasphemeth against the
Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven .

1211 And when they bring you unto the synagogues and unto
magistrates and powers take ye no thought how or what thing ye
shall answer or what ye shall say .

1212 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what
ye ought to say .

1213 And one of the company said unto him Master speak to my
brother that he divide the inheritance with me .

1214 And he said unto him Man who made me a judge or a divider
over you .

1215 And he said unto them Take heed and beware of covetousness
for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things
which he possesseth .

1216 And he spake a parable unto them saying The ground of a
certain rich man brought forth plentifully .

1217 And he thought within himself saying What shall I do
because I have no room where to bestow my fruits .

1218 And he said This will I do I will pull down my barns and
build greater and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods
.

1219 And I will say to my soul Soul thou hast much goods laid
up for many years take thine ease eat drink and be merry .

1220 But God said unto him Thou fool this night thy soul shall
be required of thee then whose shall those things be which thou
hast provided .

1221 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not
rich toward God .

1222 And he said unto his disciples Therefore I say unto you
Take no thought for your life what ye shall eat neither for the
body what ye shall put on .

1223 The life is more than meat and the body is more than
raiment .

1224 Consider the ravens for they neither sow nor reap which
neither have storehouse nor barn and God feedeth them how much
more are ye better than the fowls .

1225 And which of you with taking thought can add to his
stature one cubit .

1226 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least why
take ye thought for the rest .

1227 Consider the lilies how they grow they toil not they spin
not and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these .

1228 If then God so clothe the grass which is to day in the
field and to morrow is cast into the oven how much more will he
clothe you O ye of little faith .

1229 And seek not ye what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink
neither be ye of doubtful mind .

1230 For all these things do the nations of the world seek
after and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things .

1231 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God and all these things
shall be added unto you .

1232 Fear not little flock for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the kingdom .

1233 Sell that ye have and give alms provide yourselves bags
which wax not old a treasure in the heavens that faileth not
where no thief approacheth neither moth corrupteth .

1234 For where your treasure is there will your heart be also .

1235 Let your loins be girded about and your lights burning .

1236 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord
when he will return from the wedding that when he cometh and
knocketh they may open unto him immediately .

1237 Blessed are those servants whom the lord when he cometh
shall find watching verily I say unto you that he shall gird
himself and make them to sit down to meat and will come forth
and serve them .

1238 And if he shall come in the second watch or come in the
third watch and find them so blessed are those servants .

1239 And this know that if the goodman of the house had known
what hour the thief would come he would have watched and not
have suffered his house to be broken through .

1240 Be ye therefore ready also for the Son of man cometh at an
hour when ye think not .

1241 Then Peter said unto him Lord speakest thou this parable
unto us or even to all .

1242 And the Lord said Who then is that faithful and wise
steward whom his lord shall make ruler over his household to
give them their portion of meat in due season .

1243 Blessed is that servant whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing .

1244 Of a truth I say unto you that he will make him ruler over
all that he hath .

1245 But and if that servant say in his heart My lord delayeth
his coming and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens
and to eat and drink and to be drunken .

1246 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he
looketh not for him and at an hour when he is not aware and will
cut him in sunder and will appoint him his portion with the
unbelievers .

1247 And that servant which knew his lord's will and prepared
not himself neither did according to his will shall be beaten
with many stripes .

1248 But he that knew not and did commit things worthy of
stripes shall be beaten with few stripes For unto whomsoever
much is given of him shall be much required and to whom men have
committed much of him they will ask the more .

1249 I am come to send fire on the earth and what will I if it
be already kindled .

1250 But I have a baptism to be baptized with and how am I
straitened till it be accomplished .

1251 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth I tell
you Nay but rather division .

1252 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house
divided three against two and two against three .

1253 The father shall be divided against the son and the son
against the father the mother against the daughter and the
daughter against the mother the mother in law against her
daughter in law and the daughter in law against her mother in
law .

1254 And he said also to the people When ye see a cloud rise
out of the west straightway ye say There cometh a shower and so
it is .

1255 And when ye see the south wind blow ye say There will be
heat and it cometh to pass .

1256 Ye hypocrites ye can discern the face of the sky and of
the earth but how is it that ye do not discern this time .

1257 Yea and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right .

1258 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate as
thou art in the way give diligence that thou mayest be delivered
from him lest he hale thee to the judge and the judge deliver
thee to the officer and the officer cast thee into prison .

1259 I tell thee thou shalt not depart thence till thou hast
paid the very last mite .

* 131 There were present at that season some that told him of
the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their
sacrifices .

132 And Jesus answering said unto them Suppose ye that these
Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans because they
suffered such things .

133 I tell you Nay but except ye repent ye shall all likewise
perish .

134 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and
slew them think ye that they were sinners above all men that
dwelt in Jerusalem .

135 I tell you Nay but except ye repent ye shall all likewise
perish .

136 He spake also this parable A certain man had a fig tree
planted in his vineyard and he came and sought fruit thereon and
found none .

137 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard Behold these
three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none
cut it down why cumbereth it the ground .

138 And he answering said unto him Lord let it alone this year
also till I shall dig about it and dung it .

139 And if it bear fruit well and if not then after that thou
shalt cut it down .

1310 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the
sabbath .

1311 And behold there was a woman which had a spirit of
infirmity eighteen years and was bowed together and could in no
wise lift up herself .

1312 And when Jesus saw her he called her to him and said unto
her Woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity .

1313 And he laid his hands on her and immediately she was made
straight and glorified God .

1314 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation
because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day and said unto
the people There are six days in which men ought to work in them
therefore come and be healed and not on the sabbath day .

1315 The Lord then answered him and said Thou hypocrite doth
not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from
the stall and lead him away to watering .

1316 And ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham whom
Satan hath bound lo these eighteen years be loosed from this
bond on the sabbath day .

1317 And when he had said these things all his adversaries were
ashamed and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things
that were done by him .

1318 Then said he Unto what is the kingdom of God like and
whereunto shall I resemble it .

1319 It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and
cast into his garden and it grew and waxed a great tree and the
fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it .

1320 And again he said Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of
God .

1321 It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three
measures of meal till the whole was leavened .

1322 And he went through the cities and villages teaching and
journeying toward Jerusalem .

1323 Then said one unto him Lord are there few that be saved
And he said unto them .

1324 Strive to enter in at the strait gate for many I say unto
you will seek to enter in and shall not be able .

1325 When once the master of the house is risen up and hath
shut to the door and ye begin to stand without and to knock at
the door saying Lord Lord open unto us and he shall answer and
say unto you I know you not whence ye are .

1326 Then shall ye begin to say We have eaten and drunk in thy
presence and thou hast taught in our streets .

1327 But he shall say I tell you I know you not whence ye are
depart from me all ye workers of iniquity .

1328 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall
see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the
kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out .

1329 And they shall come from the east and from the west and
from the north and from the south and shall sit down in the
kingdom of God .

1330 And behold there are last which shall be first and there
are first which shall be last .

1331 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees saying
unto him Get thee out and depart hence for Herod will kill thee .

1332 And he said unto them Go ye and tell that fox Behold I
cast out devils and I do cures to day and to morrow and the
third day I shall be perfected .

1333 Nevertheless I must walk to day and to morrow and the day
following for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of
Jerusalem .

1334 O Jerusalem Jerusalem which killest the prophets and
stonest them that are sent unto thee how often would I have
gathered thy children together as a hen doth gather her brood
under her wings and ye would not .

1335 Behold your house is left unto you desolate and verily I
say unto you Ye shall not see me until the time come when ye
shall say Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord .

* 141 And it came to pass as he went into the house of one of
the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day that they
watched him .

142 And behold there was a certain man before him which had the
dropsy .

143 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees
saying Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day .

144 And they held their peace And he took him and healed him
and let him go .

145 And answered them saying Which of you shall have an ass or
an ox fallen into a pit and will not straightway pull him out on
the sabbath day .

146 And they could not answer him again to these things .

147 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden when
he marked how they chose out the chief rooms saying unto them .

148 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding sit not down
in the highest room lest a more honourable man than thou be
bidden of him .

149 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee Give
this man place and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room
.

1410 But when thou art bidden go and sit down in the lowest
room that when he that bade thee cometh he may say unto thee
Friend go up higher then shalt thou have worship in the presence
of them that sit at meat with thee .

1411 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased and he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted .

1412 Then said he also to him that bade him When thou makest a
dinner or a supper call not thy friends nor thy brethren neither
thy kinsmen nor thy rich neighbours lest they also bid thee
again and a recompence be made thee .

1413 But when thou makest a feast call the poor the maimed the
lame the blind .

1414 And thou shalt be blessed for they cannot recompense thee
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just .

1415 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these
things he said unto him Blessed is he that shall eat bread in
the kingdom of God .

1416 Then said he unto him A certain man made a great supper
and bade many .

1417 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that
were bidden Come for all things are now ready .

1418 And they all with one consent began to make excuse The
first said unto him I have bought a piece of ground and I must
needs go and see it I pray thee have me excused .

1419 And another said I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go
to prove them I pray thee have me excused .

1420 And another said I have married a wife and therefore I
cannot come .

1421 So that servant came and shewed his lord these things Then
the master of the house being angry said to his servant go out
quickly into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in
hither the poor and the maimed and the halt and the blind .

1422 And the servant said Lord it is done as thou hast 1422
And the servant said Lord it is done as thou hast commanded and
yet there is room .

1423 And the lord said unto the servant Go out into the
highways and hedges and compel them to come in that my house may
be filled .

1424 For I say unto you That none of those men which were
bidden shall taste of my supper .

1425 And there went great multitudes with him and he turned and
said unto them .

1426 If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother
and wife and children and brethren and sisters yea and his own
life also he cannot be my disciple .

1427 And whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple .

1428 For which of you intending to build a tower sitteth not
down first and counteth the cost whether he have sufficient to
finish it .

1429 Lest haply after he hath laid the foundation and is not
able to finish it all that behold it begin to mock him .

1430 Saying This man began to build and was not able to finish .

1431 Or what king going to make war against another king
sitteth not down first and consulteth whether he be able with
ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty
thousand .

1432 Or else while the other is yet a great way off he sendeth
an ambassage and desireth conditions of peace .

1433 So likewise whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all
that he hath he cannot be my disciple .

1434 Salt is good but if the salt have lost his savour
wherewith shall it be seasoned .

1435 It is neither fit for the land nor yet for the dunghill
but men cast it out He that hath ears to hear let him hear .

* 151 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for
to hear him .

152 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured saying This man
receiveth sinners and eateth with them .

153 And he spake this parable unto them saying .

154 What man of you having an hundred sheep if he lose one of
them doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go
after that which is lost until he find it .

155 And when he hath found it he layeth it on his shoulders
rejoicing .

156 And when he cometh home he calleth together his friends and
neighbours saying unto them Rejoice with me for I have found my
sheep which was lost .

157 I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over
one sinner that repenteth more than over ninety and nine just
persons which need no repentance .

158 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver if she lose
one piece doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek
diligently till she find it .

159 And when she hath found it she calleth her friends and her
neighbours together saying Rejoice with me for I have found the
piece which I had lost .

1510 Likewise I say unto you there is joy in the presence of
the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth .

1511 And he said A certain man had two sons .

1512 And the younger of them said to his father Father give me
the portion of goods that falleth to me And he divided unto them
his living .

1513 And not many days after the younger son gathered all
together and took his journey into a far country and there
wasted his substance with riotous living .

1514 And when he had spent all there arose a mighty famine in
that land and he began to be in want .

1515 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that
country and he sent him into his fields to feed swine .

1516 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks
that the swine did eat and no man gave unto him .

1517 And when he came to himself he said How many hired
servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare and I
perish with hunger .

1518 I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him
Father I have sinned against heaven and before thee .

1519 And am no more worthy to be called thy son make me as one
of thy hired servants .

1520 And he arose and came to his father But when he was yet a
great way off his father saw him and had compassion and ran and
fell on his neck and kissed him .

1521 And the son said unto him Father I have sinned against
heaven and in thy sight and am no more worthy to be called thy
son .

1522 But the father said to his servants Bring forth the best
robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and shoes on
his feet .

1523 And bring hither the fatted calf and kill it and let us
eat and be merry .

1524 For this my son was dead and is alive again he was lost
and is found And they began to be merry .

1525 Now his elder son was in the field and as he came and drew
nigh to the house he heard music and dancing .

1526 And he called one of the servants and asked what these
things meant .

1527 And he said unto him Thy brother is come and thy father
hath killed the fatted calf because he hath received him safe
and sound .

1528 And he was angry and would not go in therefore came his
father out and entreated him .

1529 And he answering said to his father Lo these many years do
I serve thee neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment
and yet thou never gavest me a kid that I might make merry with
my friends .

1530 But as soon as this thy son was come which hath devoured
thy living with harlots thou hast killed for him the fatted calf
.

1531 And he said unto him Son thou art ever with me and all
that I have is thine .

1532 It was meet that we should make merry and be glad for this
thy brother was dead and is alive again and was lost and is
found .

* 161 And he said also unto his disciples There was a certain
rich man which had a steward and the same was accused unto him
that he had wasted his goods .

162 And he called him and said unto him How is it that I hear
this of thee give an account of thy stewardship for thou mayest
be no longer steward .

163 Then the steward said within himself What shall I do for my
lord taketh away from me the stewardship I cannot dig to beg I
am ashamed .

164 I am resolved what to do that when I am put out of the
stewardship they may receive me into their houses .

165 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him and
said unto the first How much owest thou unto my lord .

166 And he said An hundred measures of oil And he said unto him
Take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty .

167 Then said he to another And how much owest thou And he said
An hundred measures of wheat And he said unto him Take thy bill
and write fourscore .

168 And the lord commended the unjust steward because he had
done wisely for the children of this world are in their
generation wiser than the children of light .

169 And I say unto you Make to yourselves friends of the mammon
of unrighteousness that when ye fail they may receive you into
everlasting habitations .

1610 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful
also in much and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also
in much .

1611 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous
mammon who will commit to your trust the true riches .

1612 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another
man's who shall give you that which is your own .

1613 No servant can serve two masters for either he will hate
the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and
despise the other Ye cannot serve God and mammon .

1614 And the Pharisees also who were covetous heard all these
things and they derided him .

1615 And he said unto them Ye are they which justify yourselves
before men but God knoweth your hearts for that which is highly
esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God .

1616 The law and the prophets were until John since that time
the kingdom of God is preached and every man presseth into it .

1617 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one
tittle of the law to fail .

1618 Whosoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another
committeth adultery and whosoever marrieth her that is put away
from her husband committeth adultery .

1619 There was a certain rich man which was clothed in purple
and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day .

1620 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was
laid at his gate full of sores .

1621 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the
rich man's table moreover the dogs came and licked his sores .

1622 And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried
by the angels into Abraham's bosom the rich man also died and
was buried .

1623 And in hell he lift up his eyes being in torments and
seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom .

1624 And he cried and said Father Abraham have mercy on me and
send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and
cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame .

1625 But Abraham said Son remember that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things and likewise Lazarus evil things but
now he is comforted and thou art tormented .

1626 And beside all this between us and you there is a great
gulf fixed so that they which would pass from hence to you
cannot neither can they pass to us that would come from thence .

1627 Then he said I pray thee therefore father that thou
wouldest send him to my father's house .

1628 For I have five brethren that he may testify unto them
lest they also come into this place of torment .

1629 Abraham saith unto him They have Moses and the prophets
let them hear them .

1630 And he said Nay father Abraham but if one went unto them
from the dead they will repent .

1631 And he said unto him If they hear not Moses and the
prophets neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the
dead .

* 171 Then said he unto the disciples It is impossible but that
offences will come but woe unto him through whom they come .

172 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about
his neck and he cast into the sea than that he should offend one
of these little ones .

173 Take heed to yourselves If thy brother trespass against
thee rebuke him and if he repent forgive him .

174 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day and
seven times in a day turn again to thee saying I repent thou
shalt forgive him .

175 And the apostles said unto the Lord Increase our faith .

176 And the Lord said If ye had faith as a grain of mustard
seed ye might say unto this sycamine tree Be thou plucked up by
the root and be thou planted in the sea and it should obey you .

177 But which of you having a servant plowing or feeding cattle
will say unto him by and by when he is come from the field Go
and sit down to meat .

178 And will not rather say unto him Make ready wherewith I may
sup and gird thyself and serve me till I have eaten and drunken
and afterward thou shalt eat and drink .

179 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that
were commanded him I trow not .

1710 So likewise ye when ye shall have done all those things
which are commanded you say We are unprofitable servants we have
done that which was our duty to do .

1711 And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem that he passed
through the midst of Samaria and Galilee .

1712 And as he entered into a certain village there met him ten
men that were lepers which stood afar off .

1713 And they lifted up their voices and said Jesus Master have
mercy on us .

1714 And when he saw them he said unto them Go shew yourselves
unto the priests And it came to pass that as they went they were
cleansed .

1715 And one of them when he saw that he was healed turned back
and with a loud voice glorified God .

1716 And fell down on his face at his feet giving him thanks
and he was a Samaritan .

1717 And Jesus answering said Were there not ten cleansed but
where are the nine .

1718 There are not found that returned to give glory to God
save this stranger .

1719 And he said unto him Arise go thy way thy faith hath made
thee whole .

1720 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees when the kingdom
of God should come he answered them and said The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation .

1721 Neither shall they say Lo here or lo there for behold the
kingdom of God is within you .

1722 And he said unto the disciples The days will come when ye
shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man and ye
shall not see it .

1723 And they shall say to you See here or see there go not
after them nor follow them .

1724 For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part
under heaven shineth unto the other part under heaven so shall
also the Son of man be in his day .

1725 But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of
this generation .

1726 And as it was in the days of Noe so shall it be also in
the days of the Son of man .

1727 They did eat they drank they married wives they were given
in marriage until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the
flood came and destroyed them all .

1728 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot they did eat
they drank they bought they sold they planted they builded .

1729 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire
and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all .

1730 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
revealed .

1731 In that day he which shall be upon the housetop and his
stuff in the house let him not come down to take it away and he
that is in the field let him likewise not return back .

1732 Remember Lot's wife .

1733 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it and
whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it .

1734 I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed
the one shall be taken and the other shall be left .

1735 Two women shall be grinding together the one shall be
taken and the other left .

1736 Two men shall be in the field the one shall be taken and
the other left .

1737 And they answered and said unto him Where Lord And he said
unto them Wheresoever the body is thither will the eagles be
gathered together .

* 181 And he spake a parable unto them to this end that men
ought always to pray and not to faint .

182 Saying There was in a city a judge which feared not God
neither regarded man .

183 And there was a widow in that city and she came unto him
saying Avenge me of mine adversary .

184 And he would not for a while but afterward he said within
himself Though I fear not God nor regard man .

185 Yet because this widow troubleth me I will avenge her lest
by her continual coming she weary me .

186 And the Lord said Hear what the unjust judge saith .

187 And shall not God avenge his own elect which cry day and
night unto him though he bear long with them .

188 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth .

189 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in
themselves that they were righteous and despised others .

1810 Two men went up into the temple to pray the one a Pharisee
and the other a publican .

1811 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself God I
thank thee that I am not as other men are extortioners unjust
adulterers or even as this publican .

1812 I fast twice in the week I give tithes of all that I
possess .

1813 And the publican standing afar off would not lift up so
much as his eyes unto heaven but smote upon his breast saying
God be merciful to me a sinner .

1814 I tell you this man went down to his house justified
rather than the other for every one that exalteth himself shall
be abased and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted .

1815 And they brought unto him also infants that he would touch
them but when his disciples saw it they rebuked them .

1816 But Jesus called them unto him and said Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the
kingdom of God .

1817 Verily I say unto you Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein .

1818 And a certain ruler asked him saying Good Master what
shall I do to inherit eternal life .

1819 And Jesus said unto him Why callest thou me good none is
good save one that is God .

1820 Thou knowest the commandments Do not commit adultery Do
not kill Do not steal Do not bear false witness Honour thy
father and thy mother .

1821 And he said All these have I kept from my youth up .

1822 Now when Jesus heard these things he said unto him Yet
lackest thou one thing sell all that thou hast and distribute
unto the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven and come
follow me .

1823 And when he heard this he was very sorrowful for he was
very rich .

1824 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful he said How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God
.

1825 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God .

1826 And they that heard it said Who then can be saved .

1827 And he said The things which are impossible with men are
possible with God .

1828 Then Peter said Lo we have left all and followed thee .

1829 And he said unto them Verily I say unto you There is no
man that hath left house or parents or brethren or wife or
children for the kingdom of God's sake .

1830 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time
and in the world to come life everlasting .

1831 Then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them Behold
we go up to Jerusalem and all things that are written by the
prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished .

1832 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be
mocked and spitefully entreated and spitted on .

1833 And they shall scourge him and put him to death and the
third day he shall rise again .

1834 And they understood none of these things and this saying
was hid from them neither knew they the things which were spoken
.

1835 And it came to pass that as he was come nigh unto Jericho
a certain blind man sat by the way side begging .

1836 And hearing the multitude pass by he asked what it meant .

1837 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by .

1838 And he cried saying Jesus thou son of David have mercy on
me .

1839 And they which went before rebuked him that he should hold
his peace but he cried so much the more Thou son of David have
mercy on me .

1840 And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought unto him
and when he was come near he asked him .

1841 Saying What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee And he
said Lord that I may receive my sight .

1842 And Jesus said unto him Receive thy sight thy faith hath
saved thee .

1843 And immediately he received his sight and followed him
glorifying God and all the people when they saw it gave praise
unto God .

* 191 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho .

192 And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus which was the
chief among the publicans and he was rich .

193 And he sought to see Jesus who he was and could not for the
press because he was little of stature .

194 And he ran before and climbed up into a sycamore tree to
see him for he was to pass that way .

195 And when Jesus came to the place he looked up and saw him
and said unto him Zacchaeus make haste and come down for to day
I must abide at thy house .

196 And he made haste and came down and received him joyfully .

197 And when they saw it they all murmured saying That he was
gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner .

198 And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord Behold Lord the
half of my goods I give to the poor and if I have taken any
thing from any man by false accusation I restore him fourfold .

199 And Jesus said unto him This day is salvation come to this
house forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham .

1910 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which
was lost .

1911 And as they heard these things he added and spake a
parable because he was nigh to Jerusalem and because they
thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear .

1912 He said therefore A certain nobleman went into a far
country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return .

1913 And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten
pounds and said unto them Occupy till I come .

1914 But his citizens hated him and sent a message after him
saying We will not have this man to reign over us .

1915 And it came to pass that when he was returned having
received the kingdom then he commanded these servants to be
called unto him to whom he had given the money that he might
know how much every man had gained by trading .

1916 Then came the first saying Lord thy pound hath gained ten
pounds .

1917 And he said unto him Well thou good servant because thou
hast been faithful in a very little have thou authority over ten
cities .

1918 And the second came saying Lord thy pound hath gained five
pounds .

1919 And he said likewise to him Be thou also over five cities .

1920 And another came saying Lord behold here is thy pound
which I have kept laid up in a napkin .

1921 For I feared thee because thou art an austere man thou
takest up that thou layedst not down and reapest that thou didst
not sow .

1922 And he saith unto him Out of thine own mouth will I judge
thee thou wicked servant Thou knewest that I was an austere man
taking up that I laid not down and reaping that I did not sow .

1923 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank that
at my coming I might have required mine own with usury .

1924 And he said unto them that stood by Take from him the
pound and give it to him that hath ten pounds .

1925 (And they said unto him Lord he hath ten pounds .

1926 For I say unto you That unto every one which hath shall be
given and from him that hath not even that he hath shall be
taken away from him .

1927 But those mine enemies which would not that I should reign
over them bring hither and slay them before me .

1928 And when he had thus spoken he went before ascending up to
Jerusalem .

1929 And it came to pass when he was come nigh to Bethphage and
Bethany at the mount called the mount of Olives he sent two of
his disciples .

1930 Saying Go ye into the village over against you in the
which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied whereon yet
never man sat loose him and bring him hither .

1931 And if any man ask you Why do ye loose him thus shall ye
say unto him Because the Lord hath need of him .

1932 And they that were sent went their way and found even as
he had said unto them .

1933 And as they were loosing the colt the owners thereof said
unto them Why loose ye the colt .

1934 And they said The Lord hath need of him .

1935 And they brought him to Jesus and they cast their garments
upon the colt and they set Jesus thereon .

1936 And as he went they spread their clothes in the way .

1937 And when he was come nigh even now at the descent of the
mount of Olives the whole multitude of the disciples began to
rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty
works that they had seen .

1938 Saying Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the
Lord peace in heaven and glory in the highest .

1939 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said
unto him Master rebuke thy disciples .

1940 And he answered and said unto them I tell you that if
these should hold their peace the stones would immediately cry
out .

1941 And when he was come near he beheld the city and wept over
it .

1942 Saying If thou hadst known even thou at least in this thy
day the things which belong unto thy peace but now they are hid
from thine eyes .

1943 For the days shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall
cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in
on every side .

1944 And shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children
within thee and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon
another because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation .

1945 And he went into the temple and began to cast out them
that sold therein and them that bought .

1946 Saying unto them It is written My house is the house of
prayer but ye have made it a den of thieves .

1947 And he taught daily in the temple But the chief priests
and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy
him .

1948 And could not find what they might do for all the people
were very attentive to hear him .

* 201 And it came to pass that on one of those days as he
taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel the
chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders .

202 And spake unto him saying Tell us by what authority doest
thou these things or who is he that gave thee this authority .

203 And he answered and said unto them I will also ask you one
thing and answer me .

204 The baptism of John was it from heaven or of men .

205 And they reasoned with themselves saying If we shall say
From heaven he will say Why then believed ye him not .

206 But and if we say Of men all the people will stone us for
they be persuaded that John was a prophet .

207 And they answered that they could not tell whence it was .

208 And Jesus said unto them Neither tell I you by what
authority I do these things .

209 Then began he to speak to the people this parable A certain
man planted a vineyard and let it forth to husbandmen and went
into a far country for a long time .

2010 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that
they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard but the
husbandmen beat him and sent him away empty .

2011 And again he sent another servant and they beat him also
and entreated him shamefully and sent him away empty .

2012 And again he sent a third and they wounded him also and
cast him out .

2013 Then said the lord of the vineyard What shall I do I will
send my beloved son it may be they will reverence him when they
see him .

2014 But when the husbandmen saw him they reasoned among
themselves saying This is the heir come let us kill him that the
inheritance may be ours .

2015 So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him What
therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them .

2016 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen and shall give
the vineyard to others And when they heard it they said God
forbid .

2017 And he beheld them and said What is this then that is
written The stone which the builders rejected the same is become
the head of the corner .

2018 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken but
on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder .

2019 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought
to lay hands on him and they feared the people for they
perceived that he had spoken this parable against them .

2020 And they watched him and sent forth spies which should
feign themselves just men that they might take hold of his words
that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of
the governor .

2021 And they asked him saying Master we know that thou sayest
and teachest rightly neither acceptest thou the person of any
but teachest the way of God truly .

2022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar or no .

2023 But he perceived their craftiness and said unto them Why
tempt ye me .

2024 Shew me a penny Whose image and superscription hath it
They answered and said Caesar's .

2025 And he said unto them Render therefore unto Caesar the
things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be God's .

2026 And they could not take hold of his words before the
people and they marvelled at his answer and held their peace .

2027 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees which deny that
there is any resurrection and they asked him .

2028 Saying Master Moses wrote unto us If any man's brother die
having a wife and he die without children that his brother
should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother .

2029 There were therefore seven brethren and the first took a
wife and died without children .

2030 And the second took her to wife and he died childless .

2031 And the third took her and in like manner the seven also
and they left no children and died .

2032 Last of all the woman died also .

2033 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she
for seven had her to wife .

2034 And Jesus answering said unto them The children of this
world marry and are given in marriage .

2035 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that
world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are
given in marriage .

2036 Neither can they die any more for they are equal unto the
angels and are the children of God being the children of the
resurrection .

2037 Now that the dead are raised even Moses shewed at the bush
when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac
and the God of Jacob .

2038 For he is not a God of the dead but of the living for all
live unto him .

2039 Then certain of the scribes answering said Master thou
hast well said .

2040 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all .

2041 And he said unto them How say they that Christ is David's
son .

2042 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms The Lord
said unto my Lord Sit thou on my right hand .

2043 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool .

2044 David therefore calleth him Lord how is he then his son .

2045 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his
disciples .

2046 Beware of the scribes which desire to walk in long robes
and love greetings in the markets and the highest seats in the
synagogues and the chief room at feasts .

2047 Which devour widows' houses and for a shew make long
prayers the same shall receive greater damnation .

* 211 And he looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts
into the treasury .

212 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two
mites .

213 And he said Of a truth I say unto you that this poor widow
hath cast in more than they all .

214 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the
offerings of God but she of her penury hath cast in all the
living that she had .

215 And as some spake of the temple how it was adorned with
goodly stones and gifts he said .

216 As for these things which ye behold the days will come in
the which there shall not be left one stone upon another that
shall not be thrown down .

217 And they asked him saying Master but when shall these
things be and what sign will there be when these things shall
come to pass .

218 And he said Take heed that ye be not deceived for many
shall come in my name saying I am Christ and the time draweth
near go ye not therefore after them .

219 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions be not
terrified for these things must first come to pass but the end
is not by and by .

2110 Then said he unto them Nation shall rise against nation
and kingdom against kingdom .

2111 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places and
famines and pestilences and fearful sights and great signs shall
there be from heaven .

2112 But before all these they shall lay their hands on you and
persecute you delivering you up to the synagogues and into
prisons being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake
.

2113 And it shall turn to you for a testimony .

2114 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate before
what ye shall answer .

2115 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist .

2116 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents and brethren and
kinsfolks and friends and some of you shall they cause to be put
to death .

2117 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake .

2118 But there shall not an hair of your head perish .

2119 In your patience possess ye your souls .

2120 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies then
know that the desolation thereof is nigh .

2121 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains
and let them which are in the midst of it depart out and let not
them that are in the countries enter thereinto .

2122 For these be the days of vengeance that all things which
are written may be fulfilled .

2123 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that
give suck in those days for there shall be great distress in the
land and wrath upon this people .

2124 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be
led away captive into all nations and Jerusalem shall be trodden
down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be
fulfilled .

2125 And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in
the stars and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity
the sea and the waves roaring .

2126 Men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after
those things which are coming on the earth for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken .

2127 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud
with power and great glory .

2128 And when these things begin to come to pass then look up
and lift up your heads for your redemption draweth nigh .

2129 And he spake to them a parable Behold the fig tree and all
the trees .

2130 When they now shoot forth ye see and know of your own
selves that summer is now nigh at hand .

2131 So likewise ye when ye see these things come to pass know
ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand .

2132 Verily I say unto you This generation shall not pass away
till all be fulfilled .

2133 Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not
pass away .

2134 And take heed to yourselves lest at any time your hearts
be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this
life and so that day come upon you unawares .

2135 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the
face of the whole earth .

2136 Watch ye therefore and pray always that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to
pass and to stand before the Son of man .

2137 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple and at
night he went out and abode in the mount that is called the
mount of Olives .

2138 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the
temple for to hear him .

* 221 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh which is
called the Passover .

222 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might
kill him for they feared the people .

223 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot being of
the number of the twelve .

224 And he went his way and communed with the chief priests and
captains how he might betray him unto them .

225 And they were glad and covenanted to give him money .

226 And he promised and sought opportunity to betray him unto
them in the absence of the multitude .

227 Then came the day of unleavened bread when the passover
must be killed .

228 And he sent Peter and John saying Go and prepare us the
passover that we may eat .

229 And they said unto him Where wilt thou that we prepare .

2210 And he said unto them Behold when ye are entered into the
city there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water
follow him into the house where he entereth in .

2211 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house The Master
saith unto thee Where is the guestchamber where I shall eat the
passover with my disciples .

2212 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished there
make ready .

2213 And they went and found as he had said unto them and they
made ready the passover .

2214 And when the hour was come he sat down and the twelve
apostles with him .

2215 And he said unto them With desire I have desired to eat
this passover with you before I suffer .

2216 For I say unto you I will not any more eat thereof until
it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God .

2217 And he took the cup and gave thanks and said Take this and
divide it among yourselves .

2218 For I say unto you I will not drink of the fruit of the
vine until the kingdom of God shall come .

2219 And he took bread and gave thanks and brake it and gave
unto them saying This is my body which is given for you this do
in remembrance of me .

2220 Likewise also the cup after supper saying This cup is the
new testament in my blood which is shed for you .

2221 But behold the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on
the table .

2222 And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined but
woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed .

2223 And they began to inquire among themselves which of them
it was that should do this thing .

2224 And there was also a strife among them which of them
should be accounted the greatest .

2225 And he said unto them The kings of the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them and they that exercise authority upon them
are called benefactors .

2226 But ye shall not be so but he that is greatest among you
let him be as the younger and he that is chief as he that doth
serve .

2227 For whether is greater he that sitteth at meat or he that
serveth is not he that sitteth at meat but I am among you as he
that serveth .

2228 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations
.

2229 And I appoint unto you a kingdom as my Father hath
appointed unto me .

2230 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and
sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel .

2231 And the Lord said Simon Simon behold Satan hath desired to
have you that he may sift you as wheat .

2232 But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not and
when thou art converted strengthen thy brethren .

2233 And he said unto him Lord I am ready to go with thee both
into prison and to death .

2234 And he said I tell thee Peter the cock shall not crow this
day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me .

2235 And he said unto them When I sent you without purse and
scrip and shoes lacked ye any thing And they said Nothing .

2236 Then said he unto them But now he that hath a purse let
him take it and likewise his scrip and he that hath no sword let
him sell his garment and buy one .

2237 For I say unto you that this that is written must yet be
accomplished in me And he was reckoned among the transgressors
for the things concerning me have an end .

2238 And they said Lord behold here are two swords And he said
unto them It is enough .

2239 And he came out and went as he was wont to the mount of
Olives and his disciples also followed him .

2240 And when he was at the place he said unto them Pray that
ye enter not into temptation .

2241 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast and
kneeled down and prayed .

2242 Saying Father if thou be willing remove this cup from me
nevertheless not my will but thine be done .

2243 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven
strengthening him .

2244 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly and his
sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the
ground .

2245 And when he rose up from prayer and was come to his
disciples he found them sleeping for sorrow .

2246 And said unto them Why sleep ye rise and pray lest ye
enter into temptation .

2247 And while he yet spake behold a multitude and he that was
called Judas one of the twelve went before them and drew near
unto Jesus to kiss him .

2248 But Jesus said unto him Judas betrayest thou the Son of
man with a kiss .

2249 When they which were about him saw what would follow they
said unto him Lord shall we smite with the sword .

2250 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest and
cut off his right ear .

2251 And Jesus answered and said Suffer ye thus far And he
touched his ear and healed him .

2252 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests and captains of the
temple and the elders which were come to him Be ye come out as
against a thief with swords and staves .

2253 When I was daily with you in the temple ye stretched forth
no hands against me but this is your hour and the power of
darkness .

2254 Then took they him and led him and brought him into the
high priest's house And Peter followed afar off .

2255 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall
and were set down together Peter sat down among them .

2256 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire and
earnestly looked upon him and said This man was also with him .

2257 And he denied him saying Woman I know him not .

2258 And after a little while another saw him and said Thou art
also of them And Peter said Man I am not .

2259 And about the space of one hour after another confidently
affirmed saying Of a truth this fellow also was with him for he
is a Galilaean .

2260 And Peter said Man I know not what thou sayest And
immediately while he yet spake the cock crew .

2261 And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter And Peter
remembered the word of the Lord how he had said unto him Before
the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice .

2262 And Peter went out and wept bitterly .

2263 And the men that held Jesus mocked him and smote him .

2264 And when they had blindfolded him they struck him on the
face and asked him saying Prophesy who is it that smote thee .

2265 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him
.

2266 And as soon as it was day the elders of the people and the
chief priests and the scribes came together and led him into
their council saying .

2267 Art thou the Christ tell us And he said unto them If I
tell you ye will not believe .

2268 And if I also ask you ye will not answer me nor let me go .

2269 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of
the power of God .

2270 Then said they all Art thou then the Son of God And he
said unto them Ye say that I am .

2271 And they said What need we any further witness for we
ourselves have heard of his own mouth .

* 231 And the whole multitude of them arose and led him unto
Pilate .

232 And they began to accuse him saying We found this fellow
perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar
saying that he himself is Christ a King .

233 And Pilate asked him saying Art thou the King of the Jews
And he answered him and said Thou sayest it .

234 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people I
find no fault in this man .

235 And they were the more fierce saying He stirreth up the
people teaching throughout all Jewry beginning from Galilee to
this place .

236 When Pilate heard of Galilee he asked whether the man were
a Galilaean .

237 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's
jurisdiction he sent him to Herod who himself also was at
Jerusalem at that time .

238 And when Herod saw Jesus he was exceeding glad for he was
desirous to see him of a long season because he had heard many
things of him and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him
.

239 Then he questioned with him in many words but he answered
him nothing .

2310 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently
accused him .

2311 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought and mocked
him and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe and sent him again to
Pilate .

2312 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends
together for before they were at enmity between themselves .

2313 And Pilate when he had called together the chief priests
and the rulers and the people .

2314 Said unto them Ye have brought this man unto me as one
that perverteth the people and behold I having examined him
before you have found no fault in this man touching those things
whereof ye accuse him .

2315 No nor yet Herod for I sent you to him and lo nothing
worthy of death is done unto him .

2316 I will therefore chastise him and release him .

2317 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the
feast .

2318 And they cried out all at once saying Away with this man
and release unto us Barabbas .

2319 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city and for
murder was cast into prison .

2320 Pilate therefore willing to release Jesus spake again to
them .

2321 But they cried saying Crucify him crucify him .

2322 And he said unto them the third time Why what evil hath he
done I have found no cause of death in him I will therefore
chastise him and let him go .

2323 And they were instant with loud voices requiring that he
might be crucified And the voices of them and of the chief
priests prevailed .

2324 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they
required .

2325 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder
was cast into prison whom they had desired but he delivered
Jesus to their will .

2326 And as they led him away they laid hold upon one Simon a
Cyrenian coming out of the country and on him they laid the
cross that he might bear it after Jesus .

2327 And there followed him a great company of people and of
women which also bewailed and lamented him .

2328 But Jesus turning unto them said Daughters of Jerusalem
weep not for me but weep for yourselves and for your children .

2329 For behold the days are coming in the which they shall say
Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bare and the
paps which never gave suck .

2330 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains Fall on us
and to the hills Cover us .

2331 For if they do these things in a green tree what shall be
done in the dry .

2332 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to
be put to death .

2333 And when they were come to the place which is called
Calvary there they crucified him and the malefactors one on the
right hand and the other on the left .

2334 Then said Jesus Father forgive them for they know not what
they do And they parted his raiment and cast lots .

2335 And the people stood beholding And the rulers also with
them derided him saying He saved others let him save himself if
he be Christ the chosen of God .

2336 And the soldiers also mocked him coming to him and
offering him vinegar .

2337 And saying If thou be the king of the Jews save thyself .

2338 And a superscription also was written over him in letters
of Greek and Latin and Hebrew THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS .

2339 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him
saying If thou be Christ save thyself and us .

2340 But the other answering rebuked him saying Dost not thou
fear God seeing thou art in the same condemnation .

2341 And we indeed justly for we receive the due reward of our
deeds but this man hath done nothing amiss .

2342 And he said unto Jesus Lord remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom .

2343 And Jesus said unto him Verily I say unto thee To day
shalt thou be with me in paradise .

2344 And it was about the sixth hour and there was a darkness
over all the earth until the ninth hour .

2345 And the sun was darkened and the veil of the temple was
rent in the midst .

2346 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice he said Father
into thy hands I commend my spirit and having said thus he gave
up the ghost .

2347 Now when the centurion saw what was done he glorified God
saying Certainly this was a righteous man .

2348 And all the people that came together to that sight
beholding the things which were done smote their breasts and
returned .

2349 And all his acquaintance and the women that followed him
from Galilee stood afar off beholding these things .

2350 And behold there was a man named Joseph a counsellor and
he was a good man and a just .

2351 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of
them he was of Arimathaea a city of the Jews who also himself
waited for the kingdom of God .

2352 This man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Jesus .

2353 And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and laid it in
a sepulchre that was hewn in stone wherein never man before was
laid .

2354 And that day was the preparation and the sabbath drew on .

2355 And the women also which came with him from Galilee
followed after and beheld the sepulchre and how his body was
laid .

2356 And they returned and prepared spices and ointments and
rested the sabbath day according to the commandment .

* 241 Now upon the first day of the week very early in the
morning they came unto the sepulchre bringing the spices which
they had prepared and certain others with them .

242 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre .

243 And they entered in and found not the body of the Lord
Jesus .

244 And it came to pass as they were much perplexed thereabout
behold two men stood by them in shining garments .

245 And as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the
earth they said unto them Why seek ye the living among the dead .

246 He is not here but is risen remember how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee .

247 Saying The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again .

248 And they remembered his words .

249 And returned from the sepulchre and told all these things
unto the eleven and to all the rest .

2410 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of
James and other women that were with them which told these
things unto the apostles .

2411 And their words seemed to them as idle tales and they
believed them not .

2412 Then arose Peter and ran unto the sepulchre and stooping
down he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves and departed
wondering in himself at that which was come to pass .

2413 And behold two of them went that same day to a village
called Emmaus which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs
.

2414 And they talked together of all these things which had
happened .

2415 And it came to pass that while they communed together and
reasoned Jesus himself drew near and went with them .

2416 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him .

2417 And he said unto them What manner of communications are
these that ye have one to another as ye walk and are sad .

2418 And the one of them whose name was Cleopas answering said
unto him Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem and hast not
known the things which are come to pass there in these days .

2419 And he said unto them What things And they said unto him
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth which was a prophet mighty in deed
and word before God and all the people .

2420 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to
be condemned to death and have crucified him .

2421 But we trusted that it had been he which should have
redeemed Israel and beside all this to day is the third day
since these things were done .

2422 Yea and certain women also of our company made us
astonished which were early at the sepulchre .

2423 And when they found not his body they came saying that
they had also seen a vision of angels which said that he was
alive .

2424 And certain of them which were with us went to the
sepulchre and found it even so as the women had said but him
they saw not .

2425 Then he said unto them O fools and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spoken .

2426 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to
enter into his glory .

2427 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets he expounded
unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself .

2428 And they drew nigh unto the village whither they went and
he made as though he would have gone further .

2429 But they constrained him saying Abide with us for it is
toward evening and the day is far spent And he went in to tarry
with them .

2430 And it came to pass as he sat at meat with them he took
bread and blessed it and brake and gave to them .

2431 And their eyes were opened and they knew him and he
vanished out of their sight .

2432 And they said one to another Did not our heart burn within
us while he talked with us by the way and while he opened to us
the scriptures .

2433 And they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem
and found the eleven gathered together and them that were with
them .

2434 Saying The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon
.

2435 And they told what things were done in the way and how he
was known of them in breaking of bread .

2436 And as they thus spake Jesus himself stood in the midst of
them and saith unto them Peace be unto you .

2437 But they were terrified and affrighted and supposed that
they had seen a spirit .

2438 And he said unto them Why are ye troubled and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts .

2439 Behold my hands and my feet that it is I myself handle me
and see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have .

2440 And when he had thus spoken he shewed them his hands and
his feet .

2441 And while they yet believed not for joy and wondered he
said unto them Have ye here any meat .

2442 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and of an
honeycomb .

2443 And he took it and did eat before them .

2444 And he said unto them These are the words which I spake
unto you while I was yet with you that all things must be
fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the
prophets and in the psalms concerning me .

2445 Then opened he their understanding that they might
understand the scriptures .

2446 And said unto them Thus it is written and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day .

2447 And that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in his name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem .

2448 And ye are witnesses of these things .

2449 And behold I send the promise of my Father upon you but
tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power
from on high .

2450 And he led them out as far as to Bethany and he lifted up
his hands and blessed them .

2451 And it came to pass while he blessed them he was parted
from them and carried up to heaven .

2452 And they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy .

2453 And were continually in the temple praising and blessing
God Amen .
