Matthew
1:1 The
book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
1:2 Abraham
brings forth Isaac; and Isaac brings forth Jacob; and Jacob brings forth Judas
and his brethren;
1:3 And
Judas brings forth Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares brings forth Esrom; and
Esrom brings forth Aram;
1:4
And Aram brings forth Aminadab; and Aminadab brings forth
Naasson; and Naasson brings forth Salmon;
1:5
And Salmon brings forth Booz of Rachab; and Booz brings
forth Obed of Ruth; and Obed brings forth Jesse;
1:6
And Jesse brings forth David the king; and David the king
brings forth Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
1:7
And Solomon brings forth Roboam; and Roboam brings forth
Abia; and Abia brings forth Asa;
1:8
And Asa brings forth Josaphat; and Josaphat brings forth
Joram; and Joram brings forth Ozias;
1:9
And Ozias brings forth Joatham; and Joatham brings forth
Achaz; and Achaz brings forth Ezekias;
1:10
And Ezekias brings forth Manasses; and Manasses brings forth
Amon; and Amon brings forth Josias;
1:11
And Josias brings forth Jechonias and his brethren, about
the time they were carried away to Babylon:
1:12
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias brings
forth Salathiel; and Salathiel brings forth Zorobabel;
1:13
And Zorobabel brings forth Abiud; and Abiud brings forth
Eliakim; and Eliakim brings forth Azor;
1:14
And Azor brings forth Sadoc; and Sadoc brings forth Achim;
and Achim brings forth Eliud;
1:15
And Eliud brings forth Eleazar; and Eleazar brings forth
Matthan; and Matthan brings forth Jacob;
1:16
And Jacob brings forth Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom
was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
1:17
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen
generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen
generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen
generations.
1:18 Now
the birth of Jesus Christ was likewise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to
Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
(o. pneuma)
1:19 Then
Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example,
was minded to put her away privately.
1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel
of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear
not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of
the Holy Spirit. (o. pneuma)
1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his
name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
1:22
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
1:23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth
a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God
with us.
1:24 Then
Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and
took unto him his wife:
1:25
And had sexual contact with her not till she had brought
forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
2:1
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days
of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2:2 Saying,
Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east,
and are come to worship him.
2:3
When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,
and all Jerusalem with him.
2:4
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes
of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
2:5 And they
said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
2:6 And
you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda:
for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
2:7 Then
Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, enquired of them diligently
what time the star appeared.
2:8
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently
for the young child; and when all of you have found him, bring me word again,
that I may come and worship him also.
2:9
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the
star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over
where the young child was.
2:10
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great
joy.
2:11 And
when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they
presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
2:12
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not
return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
2:13
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his
mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod
will seek the young child to destroy him.
2:14
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
night, and departed into Egypt:
2:15
And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have
I called my son.
2:16 Then
Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding angry, and
sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts
thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently
enquired of the wise men.
2:17
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying,
2:18 In
Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel
weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
2:19 But
when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph
in Egypt,
2:20 Saying,
Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel:
for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
2:21
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and
came into the land of Israel.
2:22
But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in
the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being
warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
2:23
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
3:1 In
those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
3:2 And saying,
Repent all of you: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3:3
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah,
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare all of you the way
of the Lord, make his paths straight.
3:4
And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
3:5 Then
went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
3:6 And
were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
3:7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come
to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you
to flee from the wrath to come?
3:8
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
3:9 And think
not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you,
that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
3:10
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast
into the fire.
3:11 I
indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier
than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy
Spirit, (o. pneuma) and with fire:
3:12
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire.
3:13
Then comes Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
baptized of him.
3:14 But
John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you, and come you to me?
3:15 And
Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becomes us
to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
3:16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up immediately out
of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit
(o. pneuma) of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
3:17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.
4:1
Then was Jesus led up of the spirit (o. pneuma) into the
wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
4:2
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
afterward an hungered.
4:3
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you be the
Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word (o. rhema) that proceeds out of the mouth of
God.
4:5 Then
the devil takes him up into the holy city, and sets him on a pinnacle of the temple,
4:6 And
says unto him, If you be the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written,
He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall
bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
4:7
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, You shall not
tempt the Lord your God.
4:8
Again, the devil takes him up into an exceeding high mountain,
and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
4:9
And says unto him, All these things will I give you, if
you will fall down and worship me.
4:10
Then says Jesus unto him, Get you behind, Satan: for it
is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
4:11 Then
the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
4:12 Now
when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
4:13 And
leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast,
in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
4:14
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the
prophet, saying,
4:15 The
land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles;
4:16
The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to
them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
4:18
And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they
were fishers.
4:19 And
he says unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
4:20
And they immediately left their nets, and followed him.
4:21 And
going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and
John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and
he called them.
4:22 And
they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
4:23
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and
all manner of disease among the people.
4:24
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought
unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and
those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those
that had the palsy; and he healed them.
4:25
And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee,
and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
5:1 And
seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples
came unto him:
5:2 And
he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
5:3
Blessed are the poor in spirit: (o. pneuma) for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
5:4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5:5 Blessed
are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
5:7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
5:8 Blessed
are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of God.
5:10 Blessed
are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven.
5:11 Blessed
are all of you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil (o. rhema) against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward
in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
5:13 All
of you are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and
to be trodden under foot of men.
5:14
All of you are the light of the world. A city that is set
on an hill cannot be hid.
5:15
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel,
but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house.
5:16 Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify
your Father which is in heaven.
5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
5:18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
5:19 Whosoever
therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so,
he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do
and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
5:20 For
I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness
of the scribes and Pharisees, all of you shall in no case enter into the kingdom
of heaven.
5:21 All
of you have heard that it was said of them of old time, You shall not kill; and
whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
5:22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to
his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say,
You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
5:23
Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there
remember that your brother has ought against you;
5:24
Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way;
first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
5:25 Agree
with yours adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest at any time
the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer,
and you be cast into prison.
5:26
Verily I say unto you, You shall by no means come out thence,
till you have paid the uttermost farthing.
5:27
All of you have heard that it was said by them of old time,
You shall not commit adultery:
5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust
after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
5:29
And if your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast
it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish,
and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.
5:30
And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast
it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish,
and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.
5:31
It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let
him give her a writing of divorcement:
5:32
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,
saving for the cause (o. logos) of fornication, causes her to commit adultery:
and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.
5:33
Again, all of you have heard that it has been said by them
of old time, You shall not renounce swearing yourself, but shall perform unto
the Lord yours oaths:
5:34
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven;
for it is God's throne:
5:35
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem;
for it is the city of the great King.
5:36
Neither shall you swear by your head, because you can not
make one hair white or black.
5:37
But let your communication (o. logos) be, Yea, yea; Nay,
nay: for whatsoever is more than these comes of evil.
5:38
All of you have heard that it has been said, An eye for
an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
5:39
But I say unto you, That all of you resist not evil: but
whosoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
5:40 And
if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have your
cloak also.
5:41 And
whosoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two.
5:42
Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow
of you turn not you away.
5:43
All of you have heard that it has been said, You shall love
your neighbour, and hate yours enemy.
5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you;
5:45
That all of you may be the children of your Father which
is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends
rain on the just and on the unjust.
5:46
For if all of you love them which love you, what reward
have all of you? do not even the publicans the same?
5:47
And if all of you salute your brethren only, what do all
of you more than others? do not even the publicans so?
5:48
Be all of you therefore perfect, even as your Father which
is in heaven is perfect.
6:1
Take heed that all of you do not your alms before men, to
be seen of them: otherwise all of you have no reward of your Father which is in
heaven.
6:2 Therefore
when you do yours alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do
in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily
I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:3
But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your
right hand does:
6:4 That
yours alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall
reward you openly.
6:5
And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:6 But you,
when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray
to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall
reward you openly.
6:7
But when all of you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the
heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
6:8 Be not
all of you therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what things all of
you have need of, before all of you ask him.
6:9
After this manner therefore pray all of you: Our Father
which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
6:10
Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is
in heaven.
6:11 Give
us this day our daily bread.
6:12
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
6:13 And
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For yours is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6:14
For if all of you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you:
6:15
But if all of you forgive not men their trespasses, neither
will your Father forgive your trespasses.
6:16
Moreover when all of you fast, be not, as the hypocrites,
of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto
men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:17
But you, when you fast, anoint yours head, and wash your
face;
6:18 That
you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father which is in secret: and
your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
6:19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
6:21 For
where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
6:22
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore yours eye
be single, your whole body shall be full of light.
6:23
But if yours eye be evil, your whole body shall be full
of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that
darkness!
6:24 No
man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. All of you cannot serve
God and mammon.
6:25 Therefore
I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what all of you shall eat, or what
all of you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what all of you shall put on. Is
not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?
6:26
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do
they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are all
of you not much better than they?
6:27
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature?
6:28 And
why take all of you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how
they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
6:29
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.
6:30
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which
to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you,
O all of you of little faith?
6:31
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
6:32
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knows that all of you have need of all these things.
6:33
But seek all of you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
6:34
Take therefore no thought for the next day: for the next
day shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof.
7:1 Judge
not, that all of you be not judged.
7:2
For with what judgment all of you judge, all of you shall
be judged: and with what measure all of you mete, it shall be measured to you
again.
7:3 And
why behold you the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the
beam that is in yours own eye?
7:4
Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the
splinter out of yours eye; and, behold, a beam is in yours own eye?
7:5
You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of yours own
eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the splinter out of your brother's
eye.
7:6 Give
not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast all of you your pearls before
swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and return and rend you.
7:7 Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and all of you shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you:
7:8
For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds;
and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
7:9
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,
will he give him a stone?
7:10
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
7:11 If all
of you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
7:12 Therefore
all things whatsoever all of you would that men should do to you, do all of you
even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
7:13
Enter all of you in at the strait gate: for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which
go in thereat:
7:14 Because
strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there
be that find it.
7:15 Beware
of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.
7:16 All
of you shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs
of thistles?
7:17 Even
so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil
fruit.
7:18 A
good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit.
7:19 Every
tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
7:20 Wherefore
by their fruits all of you shall know them.
7:21
Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in
heaven.
7:22 Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and
in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And
then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, all of you that
work iniquity.
7:24 Therefore
whosoever hears these sayings (o. logos) of mine, and does them, I will liken
him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
7:25
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
7:26 And
every one that hears these sayings (o. logos) of mine, and does them not, shall
be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
7:27
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
7:28 And
it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, (o. logos) the people were
astonished at his doctrine:
7:29
For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the
scribes.
8:1 When
he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
8:2
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.
8:3
And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I
will; be you clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
8:4
And Jesus says unto him, See you tell no man; but go your
way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for
a testimony unto them.
8:5
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto
him a centurion, beseeching him,
8:6
And saying, Lord, my servant lies at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented.
8:7
And Jesus says unto him, I will come and heal him.
8:8 The centurion
answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof: but
speak the word (o. logos) only, and my servant shall be healed.
8:9
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me:
and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and
to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
8:10
When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that
followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
8:11 And
I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down
with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
8:12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
8:13
And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go your way; and as you
have believed, so be it done unto you. And his servant was healed in the very
same hour.
8:14 And
when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick
of a fever.
8:15 And
he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto
them.
8:16 When
the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils:
and he cast out the spirits (o. pneuma) with his word, (o. logos) and healed all
that were sick:
8:17 That
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself
took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
8:18
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment
to depart unto the other side.
8:19
And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I
will follow you anywhere you go.
8:20
And Jesus says unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds
of the air have nests; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
8:21 And
another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my
father.
8:22 But
Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
8:23
And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed
him.
8:24 And,
behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered
with the waves: but he was asleep.
8:25
And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,
save us: we perish.
8:26
And he says unto them, Why are all of you fearful, O all
of you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and
there was a great calm.
8:27
But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,
that even the winds and the sea obey him!
8:28
And when he was come to the other side into the country
of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the
tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
8:29
And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do
with you, Jesus, you Son of God? are you come here to torment us before the time?
8:30 And
there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
8:31
So the devils besought him, saying, If you cast us out,
suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
8:32
And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out,
they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently
down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
8:33
And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the
city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
8:34 And,
behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought
him that he would depart out of their coasts.
9:1
And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into
his own city.
9:2 And,
behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus
seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; your
sins be forgiven you.
9:3
And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves,
This man blasphemes.
9:4
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think all
of you evil in your hearts?
9:5
For whether is easier, to say, Your sins be forgiven you;
or to say, Arise, and walk?
9:6
But that all of you may know that the Son of man has power
on earth to forgive sins, (then says he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take
up your bed, and go unto yours house.
9:7
And he arose, and departed to his house.
9:8
But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified
God, which had given such power unto men.
9:9
And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named
Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he says unto him, Follow me. And
he arose, and followed him.
9:10
And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at food in the house,
behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
9:11 And
when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eats your Master
with publicans and sinners?
9:12
But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that
be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
9:13
But go all of you and learn what that means, I will have
mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.
9:14 Then
came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often,
but your disciples fast not?
9:15
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber
mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the
bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
9:16
No man puts a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for
that which is put in to fill it up takes from the garment, and the rent is made
worse.
9:17 Neither
do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runs
out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both
are preserved.
9:18 While
he spoke these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped
him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay your hand upon her,
and she shall live.
9:19
And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
9:20 And,
behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came
behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
9:21
For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment,
I shall be whole.
9:22
But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
Daughter, be of good comfort; your faith has made you whole. And the woman was
made whole from that hour.
9:23
And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the
minstrels and the people making a noise,
9:24
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead,
but sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn.
9:25
But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took
her by the hand, and the maid arose.
9:26
And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
9:27 And
when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, You
son of David, have mercy on us.
9:28
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came
to him: and Jesus says unto them, Believe all of you that I am able to do this?
They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
9:29
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith
be it unto you.
9:30 And
their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man
know it.
9:31 But
they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
9:32 As they
went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
9:33 And
when the devil was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying,
It was never so seen in Israel.
9:34
But the Pharisees said, He casts out devils through the
prince of the devils.
9:35
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching
in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease among the people.
9:36
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion
on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
9:37 Then
says he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is abundant, but the labourers are
few;
9:38 Pray
all of you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers
into his harvest.
10:1
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he
gave them power against unclean spirits, (o. pneuma) to cast them out, and to
heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
10:2
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first,
Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee,
and John his brother;
10:3
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
10:4 Simon
the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
10:5
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,
Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter
all of you not:
10:6 But
go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
10:7
And as all of you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
10:8 Heal
the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely all of you
have received, freely give.
10:9
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10:10 Nor
pouch for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for
the workman is worthy of his food.
10:11
And into whatsoever city or town all of you shall enter,
enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till all of you go thence.
10:12 And
when all of you come into an house, salute it.
10:13
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it:
but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
10:14
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words,
(o. logos) when all of you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust
of your feet.
10:15 Verily
I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha
in the day of judgment, than for that city.
10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves:
be all of you therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
10:17
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils,
and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
10:18
And all of you shall be brought before governors and kings
for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
10:19
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what
all of you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what all of
you shall speak.
10:20
For it is not all of you that speak, but the Spirit (o.
pneuma) of your Father which speaks in you.
10:21
And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and
the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and
cause them to be put to death.
10:22
And all of you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake:
but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
10:23
But when they persecute you in this city, flee all of you
into another: for verily I say unto you, All of you shall not have gone over the
cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
10:24
The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above
his lord.
10:25 It
is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord.
If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they
call them of his household?
10:26
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
10:27
What I tell you in darkness, that speak all of you in light:
and what all of you hear in the ear, that preach all of you upon the housetops.
10:28 And
fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather
fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
10:29
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
10:30
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
10:31 Fear
all of you not therefore, all of you are of more value than many sparrows.
10:32 Whosoever
therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father
which is in heaven.
10:33
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also
deny before my Father which is in heaven.
10:34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came
not to send peace, but a sword.
10:35
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father,
and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother
in law.
10:36 And
a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
10:37
He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy
of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
10:38 And
he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.
10:39 He
that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall
find it.
10:40 He
that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent
me.
10:41 He
that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward;
and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive
a righteous man's reward.
10:42
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little
ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you,
he shall in no wise lose his reward.
11:1
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding
his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
11:2 Now
when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
11:3 And
said unto him, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another?
11:4 Jesus
answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which all of
you do hear and see:
11:5
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers
are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the
gospel preached to them.
11:6
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
11:7 And
as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What
went all of you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
11:8 But
what went all of you out in order to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold,
they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
11:9
But what went all of you out in order to see? A prophet?
yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
11:10
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
11:11
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women
there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is
least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
11:12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom
of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
11:13
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
11:14 And
if all of you will receive it, this is Elijah, which was in order to come.
11:15 He
that has ears to hear, let him hear.
11:16
But unto which shall I liken this generation? It is like
unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
11:17 And
saying, We have piped unto you, and all of you have not danced; we have mourned
unto you, and all of you have not lamented.
11:18
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say,
He has a devil.
11:19 The
Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and
a wine indulger, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of
her children.
11:20 Then
began he to reproach the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because
they repented not:
11:21
Woe unto you, Chorazin! woe unto you, Bethsaida! for if
the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they
would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
11:22
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre
and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
11:23
And you, Capernaum, which are exalted unto heaven, shall
be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you,
had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
11:24
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for
the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
11:25
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and
prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
11:26
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
11:27 All
things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father;
neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will
reveal him.
11:28 Come
unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
11:29 Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and all of
you shall find rest unto your souls.
11:30
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
12:1
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn;
and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to
eat.
12:2 But
when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, your disciples do that
which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
12:3
But he said unto them, Have all of you not read what David
did, when he was an hungered, and they that were with him;
12:4
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the showbread,
which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but
only for the priests?
12:5
Or have all of you not read in the law, how that on the
sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
12:6 But
I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
12:7
But if all of you had known what this means, I will have
mercy, and not sacrifice, all of you would not have condemned the guiltless.
12:8 For
the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
12:9
And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
12:10 And,
behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying,
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
12:11 And
he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep,
and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and
lift it out?
12:12 How
much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the
sabbath days.
12:13 Then
says he to the man, Stretch forth yours hand. And he stretched it forth; and it
was restored whole, like the other.
12:14
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against
him, how they might destroy him.
12:15
But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence:
and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
12:16
And charged them that they should not make him known:
12:17 That
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
12:18 Behold
my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I
will put my spirit (o. pneuma) upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
12:19 He
shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
12:20 A
bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he
send forth judgment unto victory.
12:21
And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
12:22
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind,
and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
12:23 And
all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
12:24
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow
does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
12:25
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house
divided against itself shall not stand:
12:26
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself;
how shall then his kingdom stand?
12:27
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children
cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
12:28
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit (o. pneuma) of God,
then the kingdom of God has come unto you.
12:29
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and
spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his
house.
12:30 He
that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.
12:31 Wherefore
I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but
the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (o. pneuma) shall not be forgiven unto men.
12:32 And
whosoever speaks a word (o. logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven
him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, (o. pneuma) it shall not be
forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
12:33
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make
the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
12:34 O generation
of vipers, how can all of you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaks.
12:35
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings
forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil
things.
12:36 But
I say unto you, That every idle word (o. rhema) that men shall speak, they shall
give account (o. logos) thereof in the day of judgment.
12:37
For by your words (o. logos) you shall be justified, and
by your words (o. logos) you shall be condemned.
12:38
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.
12:39
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous
generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the
sign of the prophet Jonas:
12:40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of
the earth.
12:41 The
men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn
it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than
Jonas is here.
12:42 The
queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall
condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom
of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
12:43
When the unclean spirit (o. pneuma) is gone out of a man,
he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
12:44
Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I
came out; and when he has come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
12:45 Then
goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits (o. pneuma) more wicked than
himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is
worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
12:46 While
he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without,
desiring to speak with him.
12:47
Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brethren
stand without, desiring to speak with you.
12:48
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is
my mother? and who are my brethren?
12:49
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
12:50
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
13:1
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the
sea side.
13:2 And
great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship,
and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
13:3
And he spoke many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
13:4
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and
the fowls came and devoured them up:
13:5
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
13:6
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because
they had no root, they withered away.
13:7
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
choked them:
13:8 But
other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some
sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
13:9
Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
13:10
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speak you
unto them in parables?
13:11
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto
you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
13:12 For
whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever
has not, from him shall be taken away even that he has.
13:13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing
see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13:14
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says,
By hearing all of you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing all of
you shall see, and shall not perceive:
13:15
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are
dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should
see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
13:16
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears,
for they hear.
13:17 For
verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see
those things which all of you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things
which all of you hear, and have not heard them.
13:18
Hear all of you therefore the parable of the sower.
13:19 When
any one hears the word (o. logos) of the kingdom, and understands it not, then
comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This
is he which received seed by the way side.
13:20
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same
is he that hears the word, (o. logos) and soon with joy receives it;
13:21
Yet has he not root in himself, but endures for a while:
for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, (o. logos) by
and by he is offended.
13:22
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears
the word; (o. logos) and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
choke the word, (o. logos) and he becomes unfruitful.
13:23
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that
hears the word, (o. logos) and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings
forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
13:24
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom
of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
13:25
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among
the wheat, and went his way.
13:26
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
then appeared the tares also.
13:27
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,
Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? from whence then has it tares?
13:28 He
said unto them, An enemy has done this. The servants said unto him, Will you then
that we go and gather them up?
13:29
But he said, Nay; lest while all of you gather up the tares,
all of you root up also the wheat with them.
13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time
of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather all of you together first the tares,
and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
13:31 Another
parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain
of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
13:32
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown,
it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air
come and lodge in the branches thereof.
13:33
Another parable spoke he unto them; The kingdom of heaven
is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till
the whole was leavened.
13:34
All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables;
and without a parable spoke he not unto them:
13:35
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been
kept secret from the foundation of the world.
13:36
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:
and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares
of the field.
13:37 He
answered and said unto them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;
13:38 The
field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares
are the children of the wicked one;
13:39
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the
end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
13:40
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;
so shall it be in the end of this world.
13:41
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall
gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
13:42 And
shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of
teeth.
13:43 Then
shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who
has ears to hear, let him hear.
13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in
a field; the which when a man has found, he hides, and for joy thereof goes and
sells all that he has, and buys that field.
13:45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,
seeking goodly pearls:
13:46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and
sold all that he had, and bought it.
13:47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was
cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
13:48
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down,
and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
13:49
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall
come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
13:50
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall
be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:51
Jesus says unto them, Have all of you understood all these
things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
13:52
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is
instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,
which brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.
13:53
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
parables, he departed thence.
13:54
And when he was come into his own country, he taught them
in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this
man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
13:55
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called
Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
13:56
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has
this man all these things?
13:57
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them,
A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
13:58 And
he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
14:1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
14:2 And
said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead;
and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
14:3
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put
him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
14:4
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for you to have
her.
14:5 And
when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted
him as a prophet.
14:6
But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias
danced before them, and pleased Herod.
14:7
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever
she would ask.
14:8 And
she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's
head in a charger.
14:9
And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake,
and them which sat with him at food, he commanded it to be given her.
14:10 And
he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
14:11
And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the
damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
14:12
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried
it, and went and told Jesus.
14:13
When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into
a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him
on foot out of the cities.
14:14
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was
moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
14:15
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,
This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that
they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
14:16
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give all
of you them to eat.
14:17
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and
two fishes.
14:18 He
said, Bring them here to me.
14:19
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass,
and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed,
and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
14:20 And
they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained
twelve baskets full.
14:21
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside
women and children.
14:22
And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to get into
a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes
away.
14:23 And
when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray:
and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
14:24
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary.
14:25
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea.
14:26
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they
were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
14:27
But immediately Jesus spoke unto them, saying, Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
14:28
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, bid
me come unto you on the water.
14:29
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
14:30
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
14:31
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught
him, and said unto him, O you of little faith, wherefore did you doubt?
14:32 And
when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
14:33
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
saying, Truthfully you are the Son of God.
14:34
And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret.
14:35 And
when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country
round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
14:36
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
15:1
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
Jerusalem, saying,
15:2
Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
15:3
But he answered and said unto them, Why do all of you also
transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
15:4
For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother:
and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death.
15:5
But all of you say, Whosoever shall say to his father or
his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited by me;
15:6
And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
Thus have all of you made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
15:7 All
of you hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
15:8
This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth, and honors
me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.
15:10
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
understand:
15:11 Not
that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the
mouth, this defiles a man.
15:12
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Know you that
the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? (o. logos)
15:13 But
he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall
be rooted up.
15:14 Let
them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind,
both shall fall into the ditch.
15:15
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this
parable.
15:16 And
Jesus said, Are all of you also yet without understanding?
15:17
Do not all of you yet understand, that whatsoever enters
in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
15:18 But
those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they
defile the man.
15:19 For
out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts,
false witness, blasphemies:
15:20
These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with
unwashed hands defiles not a man.
15:21
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of
Tyre and Sidon.
15:22 And,
behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying,
Have mercy on me, O Lord, you son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with
a devil.
15:23 But
he answered her not a word. (o. logos) And his disciples came and besought him,
saying, Send her away; for she cries after us.
15:24
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.
15:25
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
15:26 But
he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast
it to dogs.
15:27 And
she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters'
table.
15:28 Then
Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is your faith: be it unto you
even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
15:29 And
Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up
into a mountain, and sat down there.
15:30
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those
that were lame, blind, dumb, physically disabled, and many others, and cast them
down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
15:31
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the
dumb to speak, the physically disabled to be whole, the lame to walk, and the
blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
15:32
Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have
compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and
have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in
the way.
15:33 And
his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness,
as to fill so great a multitude?
15:34
And Jesus says unto them, How many loaves have all of you?
And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
15:35
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
15:36 And
he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and
gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
15:37
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up
of the broken food that was left seven baskets full.
15:38
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women
and children.
15:39 And
he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
16:1 The
Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would
show them a sign from heaven.
16:2
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, all
of you say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
16:3
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for
the sky is red and lowering. O all of you hypocrites, all of you can discern the
face of the sky; but can all of you not discern the signs of the times?
16:4 A wicked
and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given
unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
16:5 And
when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
16:6 Then
Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and
of the Sadducees.
16:7
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because
we have taken no bread.
16:8
Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O all of
you of little faith, why reason all of you among yourselves, because all of you
have brought no bread?
16:9
Do all of you not yet understand, neither remember the five
loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets all of you took up?
16:10 Neither
the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets all of you took up?
16:11 How
is it that all of you do not understand that I spoke it not to you concerning
bread, that all of you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees?
16:12 Then
understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of
the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
16:13
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he
asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
16:14 And
they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremias,
or one of the prophets.
16:15
He says unto them, But whom say all of you that I am?
16:16 And
Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
16:17 And
Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and
blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.
16:18 And
I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
16:19
And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever
you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
16:20
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man
that he was Jesus the Christ.
16:21
From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples,
how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
16:22 Then
Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, Lord: this
shall not be unto you.
16:23
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan:
you are an offence unto me: for you savour not the things that be of God, but
those that be of men.
16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
16:25 For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for
my sake shall find it.
16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
16:27 For
the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then
he shall reward every man according to his works.
16:28
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
17:1 And
after six days Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them
up into an high mountain apart,
17:2
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine
as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
17:3
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking
with him.
17:4 Then
answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you
will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and
one for Elijah.
17:5 While
he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out
of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear
all of you him.
17:6 And
when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
17:7 And
Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
17:8
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,
save Jesus only.
17:9 And
as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision
to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
17:10
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elijah must first come?
17:11
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall
first come, and restore all things.
17:12
But I say unto you, That Elijah has come already, and they
knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also
the Son of man suffer of them.
17:13
Then the disciples understood that he spoke unto them of
John the Baptist.
17:14
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to
him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
17:15
Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and sore
vexed: for frequently he falls into the fire, and often into the water.
17:16 And
I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.
17:17
Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him here to me.
17:18 And
Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from
that very hour.
17:19 Then
came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
17:20 And
Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If
all of you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, all of you shall say unto this
mountain, Remove behind to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall
be impossible unto you.
17:21
Nevertheless this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting.
17:22 And
while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed
into the hands of men:
17:23
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised
again. And they were exceeding sorry.
17:24
And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received
tribute money came to Peter, and said, Does not your master pay tribute?
17:25 He
says, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What
think you, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of
their own children, or of strangers?
17:26
Peter says unto him, Of strangers. Jesus says unto him,
Then are the children free.
17:27
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go you to the
sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first comes up; and when you
have opened his mouth, you shall find a piece of money: that take, and give unto
them for me and you.
18:1
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
18:2
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in
the midst of them,
18:3
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except all of you be converted,
and become as little children, all of you shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven.
18:4 Whosoever
therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the
kingdom of heaven.
18:5
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
receives me.
18:6 But
whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better
for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned
in the depth of the sea.
18:7
Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must essentially
be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
18:8 Wherefore
if your hand or your foot offend you, cut them off, and cast them from you: it
is better for you to enter into life halt or physically disabled, rather than
having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
18:9
And if yours eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from
you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having
two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
18:10
Take heed that all of you despise not one of these little
ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face
of my Father which is in heaven.
18:11
For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
18:12 How
think all of you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray,
does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks
that which is gone astray?
18:13
And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he
rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
18:14 Even
so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little
ones should perish.
18:15
Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go
and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you have
gained your brother.
18:16
But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two
more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word (o. rhema) may be
established.
18:17 And
if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to
hear the church, let him be unto you as an heathen man and a publican.
18:18 Verily
I say unto you, Whatsoever all of you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever all of you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
18:19 Again
I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as concerning any thing
that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
18:20 For
where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them.
18:21 Then
came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me,
and I forgive him? till seven times?
18:22
Jesus says unto him, I say not unto you, Until seven times:
but, Until seventy times seven.
18:23
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain
king, which would take account (o. logos) of his servants.
18:24
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents.
18:25
But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him
to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be
made.
18:26 The
servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with
me, and I will pay you all.
18:27
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion,
and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
18:28
But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow
servants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took
him by the throat, saying, Pay me that you owe.
18:29
And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought
him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
18:30
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till
he should pay the debt.
18:31
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were
very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
18:32
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him,
O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me:
18:33 Should
not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on
you?
18:34 And
his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all
that was due unto him.
18:35
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if
all of you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
19:1 And
it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, (o. logos) he departed
from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
19:2
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
19:3 The
Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful
for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have all of you not
read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
19:5 And
said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to
his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?
19:6
Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore
God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
19:7
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
19:8
He says unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not
so.
19:9 And
I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication,
and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoso marries her which is put
away does commit adultery.
19:10
His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so
with his wife, it is not good to marry.
19:11
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
(o. logos) save they to whom it is given.
19:12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their
mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and
there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's
sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
19:13
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he
should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
19:14 But
Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for
of such is the kingdom of heaven.
19:15
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
19:16 And,
behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that
I may have eternal life?
19:17
And he said unto him, Why call you me good? there is none
good but one, that is, God: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments.
19:18 He
says unto him, Which? Jesus said, You shall do no murder, You shall not commit
adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
19:19
Honour your father and your mother: and, You shall love
your neighbour as yourself.
19:20
The young man says unto him, All these things have I kept
from my youth up: what lack I yet?
19:21
Jesus said unto him, If you will be perfect, go and sell
that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and
come and follow me.
19:22
But when the young man heard that saying, (o. logos) he
went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
19:23
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
19:24
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God.
19:25 When
his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be
saved?
19:26 But
Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God
all things are possible.
19:27
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken
all, and followed you; what shall we have therefore?
19:28
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That all
of you which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit
in the throne of his glory, all of you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging
the twelve tribes of Israel.
19:29
And every one that has forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake,
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
19:30
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall
be first.
20:1 For
the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out
early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a
day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace,
20:4
And said unto them; Go all of you also into the vineyard,
and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
20:5
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
likewise.
20:6 And
about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and says
unto them, Why stand all of you here all the day idle?
20:7
They say unto him, Because no man has hired us. He says
unto them, Go all of you also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that
shall all of you receive.
20:8
So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard says unto
his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the
last unto the first.
20:9
And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny.
20:10
But when the first came, they supposed that they should
have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
20:11
And when they had received it, they murmured against the
goodman of the house,
20:12
Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and you have
made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
20:13 But
he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do you no wrong: did not you agree
with me for a penny?
20:14
Take that yours is, and go your way: I will give unto this
last, even as unto you.
20:15
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
Is yours eye evil, because I am good?
20:16
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many
be called, but few chosen.
20:17
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
apart in the way, and said unto them,
20:18
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall
be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn
him to death,
20:19 And
shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him:
and the third day he shall rise again.
20:20
Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her
sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
20:21
And he said unto her, What will you? She says unto him,
Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on your right hand, and the other
on the left, in your kingdom.
20:22
But Jesus answered and said, All of you know not what all
of you ask. Are all of you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and
to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We
are able.
20:23 And
he says unto them, All of you shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with
the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left,
is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of
my Father.
20:24 And
when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
20:25 But
Jesus called them unto him, and said, All of you know that the princes of the
Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority
upon them.
20:26 But
it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be
your minister;
20:27 And
whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
20:28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but
to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
20:29
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed
him.
20:30 And,
behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed
by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, you son of David.
20:31
And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold
their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, you son
of David.
20:32 And
Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will all of you that I shall
do unto you?
20:33 They
say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
20:34
So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes:
and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
21:1
And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
21:2
Saying unto them, Go into the village opposite to you, and
immediately all of you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them,
and bring them unto me.
21:3
And if any man say ought unto you, all of you shall say,
The Lord has need of them; and immediately he will send them.
21:4
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the prophet, saying,
21:5
Tell all of you the daughter of Sion, Behold, your King
comes unto you, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
21:6 And
the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
21:7
And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon.
21:8
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the
way; others cut down branches from the trees, and scattered them in the way.
21:9 And
the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to
the son of David: Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in
the highest.
21:10 And
when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
21:11 And
the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
21:12 And
Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought
in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of
them that sold doves,
21:13
And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called
the house of prayer; but all of you have made it a den of thieves.
21:14
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and
he healed them.
21:15 And
when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the
children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were
sore displeased,
21:16
And said unto him, Hear you what these say? And Jesus says
unto them, Yea; have all of you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and infants
you have perfected praise?
21:17
And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany;
and he lodged there.
21:18
Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
21:19 And
when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but
leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever.
And presently the fig tree withered away.
21:20
And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away!
21:21
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
If all of you have faith, and doubt not, all of you shall not only do this which
is done to the fig tree, but also if all of you shall say unto this mountain,
Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; it shall be done.
21:22
And all things, whatsoever all of you shall ask in prayer,
believing, all of you shall receive.
21:23
And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests
and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what
authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority?
21:24
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you
one thing, (o. logos) which if all of you tell me, I in like wise will tell you
by what authority I do these things.
21:25
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will
say unto us, Why did all of you not then believe him?
21:26
But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all
hold John as a prophet.
21:27
And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he
said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
21:28 But
what think all of you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and
said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
21:29
He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
and went.
21:30 And
he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir:
and went not.
21:31 Whether
of them two did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus says
unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the
kingdom of God before you.
21:32
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and
all of you believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and
all of you, when all of you had seen it, repented not afterward, that all of you
might believe him.
21:33
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a winepress in it, and
built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
21:34 And
when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen,
that they might receive the fruits of it.
21:35
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and
killed another, and stoned another.
21:36
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they
did unto them likewise.
21:37
But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They
will reverence my son.
21:38
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves,
This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
21:39 And
they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
21:40
When the lord therefore of the vineyard comes, what will
he do unto those husbandmen?
21:41
They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked
men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him
the fruits in their seasons.
21:42
Jesus says unto them, Did all of you never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner:
this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
21:43
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
21:44
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken:
but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
21:45
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables,
they perceived that he spoke of them.
21:46
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
22:1
And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables,
and said,
22:2 The
kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
22:3 And
sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they
would not come.
22:4 Again,
he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have
prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready:
come unto the marriage.
22:5
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his
farm, another to his merchandise:
22:6
And the remnant took his servants, and pleaded them spitefully,
and slew them.
22:7 But
when the king heard thereof, he was angry: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed
those murderers, and burned up their city.
22:8
Then says he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but
they which were bidden were not worthy.
22:9
Go all of you therefore into the highways, and as many as
all of you shall find, bid to the marriage.
22:10
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered
together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished
with guest.
22:11 And
when the king came in to see the guest, he saw there a man which had not on a
wedding garment:
22:12
And he says unto him, Friend, how came you in here not having
a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
22:13
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot,
and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
22:14
For many are called, but few are chosen.
22:15
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might
entangle him in his talk. (o. logos)
22:16
And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
saying, Master, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth,
neither care you for any man: for you regard not the person of men.
22:17
Tell us therefore, What think you? Is it lawful to give
tribute unto Caesar, or not?
22:18
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt
all of you me, all of you hypocrites?
22:19
Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
22:20 And
he says unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
22:21
They say unto him, Caesar's. Then says he unto them, Render
therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that
are God's.
22:22 When
they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
22:23 The
same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and
asked him,
22:24 Saying,
Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry
his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
22:25
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when
he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his
brother:
22:26 Likewise
the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
22:27
And last of all the woman died also.
22:28
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of
the seven? for they all had her.
22:29
Jesus answered and said unto them, All of you do go astray,
not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
22:30
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given
in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
22:31
But as concerning the resurrection of the dead, have all
of you not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
22:32
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
22:33
And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished
at his doctrine.
22:34
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees
to silence, they were gathered together.
22:35
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
tempting him, and saying,
22:36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
22:37 Jesus
said unto him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with
all your soul, and with all your mind.
22:38
This is the first and great commandment.
22:39
And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbour
as yourself.
22:40 On
these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
22:41
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked
them,
22:42 Saying,
What think all of you of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of
David.
22:43 He
says unto them, How then does David in spirit (o. pneuma) call him Lord, saying,
22:44 The
LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you on my right hand, till I make yours enemies your
footstool?
22:45 If
David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
22:46
And no man was able to answer him a word, (o. logos) neither
durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
23:1
Then spoke Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
23:2 Saying
The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
23:3
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe
and do; but do not all of you after their works: for they say, and do not.
23:4 For
they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders;
but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
23:5
But all their works they do in order to be seen of men:
they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
23:6 And
love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
23:7 And
greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
23:8
But be not all of you called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
even Christ; and all you are brethren.
23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
Father, which is in heaven.
23:10
Neither be all of you called masters: for one is your Master,
even Christ.
23:11 But
he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
23:12
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be brought low;
and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
all of you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for all of you neither go
in yourselves, neither suffer all of you them that are entering to go in.
23:14 Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you devour widows' houses,
and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore all of you shall receive the greater
damnation.
23:15 Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you compass sea and land
to make one proselyte, and when he is made, all of you make him twofold more the
child of hell than yourselves.
23:16
Woe unto you, all of you blind guides, which say, Whosoever
shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold
of the temple, he is a debtor!
23:17
All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the
gold, or the temple that santifies the gold?
23:18
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing;
but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
23:19
All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the
gift, or the altar that santifies the gift?
23:20
Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it,
and by all things thereon.
23:21
And whoso shall swear by the temple, swears by it, and by
him that dwells therein.
23:22
And he that shall swear by heaven, swears by the throne
of God, and by him that sits thereon.
23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all
of you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier
matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought all of you to have
done, and not to leave the other undone.
23:24
All of you blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow
a camel.
23:25 Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you make clean the outside
of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
23:26 You
blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the
outside of them may be clean also.
23:27
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all
of you are like unto whitewashed sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward,
but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
23:28
Even so all of you also outwardly appear righteous unto
men, but within all of you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
23:29
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because
all of you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the
righteous,
23:30 And
say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers
with them in the blood of the prophets.
23:31
Wherefore all of you be witnesses unto yourselves, that
all of you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
23:32
Fill all of you up then the measure of your fathers.
23:33 All
of you serpents, all of you generation of vipers, how can all of you escape the
damnation of hell?
23:34
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men,
and scribes: and some of them all of you shall kill and crucify; and some of them
shall all of you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
23:35 That
upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood
of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom all of you
slew between the temple and the altar.
23:36
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon
this generation.
23:37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and
stone them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children
together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and all of you would
not!
23:38 Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate.
23:39
For I say unto you, All of you shall not see me henceforth,
till all of you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
24:1 And
Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him in
order to show him the buildings of the temple.
24:2
And Jesus said unto them, See all of you not all these things?
verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.
24:3
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came
unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall
be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?
24:4
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no
man deceive you.
24:5 For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
24:6 And
all of you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that all of you be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
24:7 For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall
be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
24:8
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
24:9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall
kill you: and all of you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
24:10 And
then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one
another.
24:11 And
many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24:12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love (o. agape) of
many shall wax cold.
24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.
24:14 And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto
all nations; and then shall the end come.
24:15
When all of you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads, let him
understand:)
24:16 Then
let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
24:17
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
thing out of his house:
24:18
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take
his clothes.
24:19 And
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
24:20 But
pray all of you that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath
day:
24:21 For
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world
to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22
And except those days should be shortened, there should
no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
24:23 Then
if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24:24 For
there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs
and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
24:25 Behold,
I have told you before.
24:26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
24:27 For
as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:28
For where ever the carcass is, there will the eagles be
gathered together.
24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the
sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of
man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other.
24:32
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is
yet tender, and puts forth leaves, all of you know that summer is nigh:
24:33 So
likewise all of you, when all of you shall see all these things, know that it
is near, even at the doors.
24:34
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.
24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words (o. logos)
shall not pass away.
24:36
But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels
of heaven, but my Father only.
24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be.
24:38
For as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered
into the ark,
24:39 And
knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming
of the Son of man be.
24:40
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
24:41
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
24:42
Watch therefore: for all of you know not what hour your
Lord does come.
24:43 But
know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief
would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be
broken up.
24:44 Therefore
be all of you also ready: for in such an hour as all of you think not the Son
of man comes.
24:45 Who
then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household,
to give them food in due season?
24:46
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall
find so doing.
24:47 Verily
I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
24:48
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My
lord delays his coming;
24:49
And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and to eat
and drink with the drunken;
24:50
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks
not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
24:51
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with
the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
25:1
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
25:2
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
25:3 They
that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
25:4
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
25:5 While
the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
25:6
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
comes; go all of you out to meet him.
25:7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
25:8 And
the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
25:9 But
the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but
go all of you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
25:10
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they
that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
25:11 Afterward
came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
25:12
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know
you not.
25:13 Watch
therefore, for all of you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of
man comes.
25:14 For
the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his
own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
25:15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man according to his several ability; and immediately took
his journey.
25:16 Then
he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made
them other five talents.
25:17
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other
two.
25:18 But
he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
25:19 After
a long time the lord of those servants comes, and reckons (o. logos) with them.
25:20 And
so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying,
Lord, you delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five
talents more.
25:21 His
lord said unto him, Well done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful
over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the
joy of your lord.
25:22
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,
you delivered unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside
them.
25:23 His
lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful
over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the
joy of your lord.
25:24
Then he which had received the one talent came and said,
Lord, I knew you that you are an hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and
gathering where you have not scattered:
25:25
And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth:
lo, there you have that is yours.
25:26
His lord answered and said unto him, You wicked and slothful
servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not scattered:
25:27 You
ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming
I should have received mine own with interest.
25:28
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him
which has ten talents.
25:29
For unto every one that has shall be given, and he shall
have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which
he has.
25:30 And
cast all of you the useless servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.
25:31
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the
holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
25:32 And
before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:
25:33
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats
on the left.
25:34 Then
shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, all of you blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
25:35 For
I was an hungered, and all of you gave me food: I was thirsty, and all of you
gave me drink: I was a stranger, and all of you took me in:
25:36
Naked, and all of you clothed me: I was sick, and all of
you visited me: I was in prison, and all of you came unto me.
25:37
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when
saw we you an hungered, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink?
25:38
When saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and
clothed you?
25:39 Or
when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came unto you?
25:40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say
unto you, Inasmuch as all of you have done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, all of you have done it unto me.
25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart
from me, all of you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and
his angels:
25:42 For
I was an hungered, and all of you gave me no food: I was thirsty, and all of you
gave me no drink:
25:43
I was a stranger, and all of you took me not in: naked,
and all of you clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and all of you visited me
not.
25:44 Then
shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you an hungered, or thirsty,
or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto you?
25:45 Then
shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as all of you did
it not to one of the least of these, all of you did it not to me.
25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but
the righteous into life eternal.
26:1
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings,
(o. logos) he said unto his disciples,
26:2
All of you know that after two days is the feast of the
passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
26:3
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,
and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called
Caiaphas,
26:4 And
consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.
26:5
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
among the people.
26:6
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
leper,
26:7 There
came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured
it on his head, as he sat at food.
26:8
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying,
To what purpose is this waste?
26:9
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given
to the poor.
26:10 When
Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble all of you the woman? for
she has wrought a good work upon me.
26:11
For all of you have the poor always with you; but me all
of you have not always.
26:12
For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she
did it for my burial.
26:13
Verily I say unto you, Where ever this gospel shall be preached
in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for
a memorial of her.
26:14
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto
the chief priests,
26:15
And said unto them, What will all of you give me, and I
will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
26:16 And
from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
26:17
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples
came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where will you that we prepare for you to eat
the passover?
26:18 And
he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master says, My
time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.
26:19 And
the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
26:20 Now
when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
26:21
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that
one of you shall betray me.
26:22
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of
them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
26:23
And he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me
in the dish, the same shall betray me.
26:24
The Son of man goes as it is written of him: but woe unto
that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if
he had not been born.
26:25
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master,
is it I? He said unto him, You have said.
26:26
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it,
and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
26:27 And
he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink all of you
all of it;
26:28 For
this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission
of sins.
26:29 But
I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that
day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
26:30
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount
of Olives.
26:31 Then
says Jesus unto them, All you shall be offended because of me this night: for
it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be
scattered abroad.
26:32
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
26:33 Peter
answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet
will I never be offended.
26:34
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this night,
before the cock crow, you shall deny me three times.
26:35
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with you, yet will
I not deny you. Likewise also said all the disciples.
26:36
Then comes Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,
and says unto the disciples, Sit all of you here, while I go and pray yonder.
26:37 And
he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful
and very heavy.
26:38 Then
says he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry all
of you here, and watch with me.
26:39
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless
not as I will, but as you will.
26:40
And he comes unto the disciples, and finds them asleep,
and says unto Peter, What, could all of you not watch with me one hour?
26:41 Watch
and pray, that all of you enter not into temptation: the spirit (o. pneuma) indeed
is willing, but the flesh is weak.
26:42
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying,
O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, your will
be done.
26:43 And
he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
26:44
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third
time, saying the same words. (o. logos)
26:45
Then comes he to his disciples, and says unto them, Sleep
on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is
betrayed into the hands of sinners.
26:46
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that does betray
me.
26:47 And
while he yet spoke, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude
with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
26:48 Now
he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same
is he: hold him fast.
26:49
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master;
and kissed him.
26:50 And
Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore are you come? Then came they, and laid
hands on Jesus and took him.
26:51
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched
out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and
stroke off his ear.
26:52
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again your sword into his
place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
26:53
Think you that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall
presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
26:54
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus
it must be?
26:55 In
that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are all of you come out as against
a thief with swords and staves in order to take me? I sat daily with you teaching
in the temple, and all of you laid no hold on me.
26:56
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets
might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
26:57
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
26:58
But Peter followed him far off unto the high priest's palace,
and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
26:59
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council,
sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
26:60
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet
found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
26:61
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple
of God, and to build it in three days.
26:62
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answer you
nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
26:63
But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and
said unto him, I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you be
the Christ, the Son of God.
26:64
Jesus says unto him, You have said: nevertheless I say unto
you, Hereafter shall all of you see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of
power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
26:65
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now all of you have
heard his blasphemy.
26:66
What think all of you? They answered and said, He is guilty
of death.
26:67 Then
did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others stroke him with the palms
of their hands,
26:68 Saying,
Prophesy unto us, you Christ, Who is he that stroke you?
26:69
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto
him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee.
26:70
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what you
says.
26:71 And
when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them
that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
26:72
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
26:73 And
after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely you
also are one of them; for your speech betrayed you.
26:74
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not
the man. And immediately the cock crew.
26:75
And Peter remembered the word (o. rhema) of Jesus, which
said unto him, Before the cock crow, you shall deny me three times. And he went
out, and wept bitterly.
27:1
When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders
of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
27:2
And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered
him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
27:3
Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he
was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver
to the chief priests and elders,
27:4
Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
blood. And they said, What is that to us? see you to that.
27:5
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and
departed, and went and hanged himself.
27:6
And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said,
It is not lawful in order to put them into the treasury, because it is the price
of blood.
27:7 And
they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers
in.
27:8 Wherefore
that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
27:9
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued,
whom they of the children of Israel did value;
27:10
And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed
me.
27:11 And
Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Are you the
King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, You says.
27:12
And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders,
he answered nothing.
27:13
Then said Pilate unto him, Hear you not how many things
they witness against you?
27:14
And he answered him to not a word; (o. rhema) insomuch that
the governor marvelled greatly.
27:15
Now at that feast the governor was known to release unto
the people a prisoner, whom they would.
27:16
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
27:17 Therefore
when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will all of you
that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
27:18
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
27:19 When
he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have you
nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in
a dream because of him.
27:20
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude
that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
27:21
The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the
two will all of you that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
27:22
Pilate says unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which
is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
27:23
And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they
cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
27:24
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that
rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude,
saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see all of you to it.
27:25 Then
answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
27:26 Then
released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him
to be crucified.
27:27
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
27:28
And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
27:29 And
when they had intertwined a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a
reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying,
Hail, King of the Jews!
27:30
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and stroke him
on the head.
27:31 And
after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own
raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
27:32
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon
by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
27:33
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that
is to say, a place of a skull,
27:34
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when
he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
27:35
And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting
lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted
my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
27:36
And sitting down they watched him there;
27:37
And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS
JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27:38
Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
right hand, and another on the left.
27:39
And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
27:40 And
saying, You that destroys the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself.
If you be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
27:41
Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes
and elders, said,
27:42
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King
of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
27:43 He
trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am
the Son of God.
27:44 The
thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
27:45 Now
from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
27:46 And
about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
that is to say, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
27:47
Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said,
This man calls for Elijah.
27:48
And immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and
filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
27:49
The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elijah will come
to save him.
27:50 Jesus,
when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the spirit. (o. pneuma)
27:51 And,
behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and
the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
27:52
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose,
27:53
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
27:54
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching
Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly,
saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
27:55
And many women were there beholding far off, which followed
Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
27:56
Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
27:57
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
27:58
He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
commanded the body to be delivered.
27:59
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean
linen cloth,
27:60 And
laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled
a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
27:61
And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting
opposite to the tomb.
27:62
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
27:63
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while
he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
27:64
Command therefore that the tomb be made sure until the third
day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people,
He has risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
27:65 Pilate
said unto them, All of you have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as all of
you can.
27:66 So
they went, and made the tomb sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
28:1 In the
end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the tomb.
28:2
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel
of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the
door, and sat upon it.
28:3
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white
as snow:
28:4 And
for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
28:5
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not
all of you: for I know that all of you seek Jesus, which was crucified.
28:6 He is
not here: for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
28:7 And
go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead; and, behold,
he goes before you into Galilee; there shall all of you see him: lo, I have told
you.
28:8 And
they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy; and did run to bring
his disciples word.
28:9
And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met
them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped
him.
28:10 Then
said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee,
and there shall they see me.
28:11
Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came
into the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
28:12 And
when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large
money unto the soldiers,
28:13
Saying, Say all of you, His disciples came by night, and
stole him away while we slept.
28:14
And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade
him, and secure you.
28:15
So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and
this saying (o. logos) is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
28:16 Then
the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed
them.
28:17 And
when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
28:18
And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
28:19
Go all of you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: (o. pneuma)
28:20 Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
