/1-1- FORASMUCH AS MANY HAVE TAKEN IN HAND TO SET FORTH IN ORDER A DECLARATION OF THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE MOST SURELY BELIEVED AMONG US
/1-2- EVEN AS THEY DELIVERED THEM UNTO US
WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING WERE EYEWITNESSES
AND MINISTERS OF THE WORD
/1-3- IT SEEMED GOOD TO ME ALSO
HAVING HAD PERFECT UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THINGS FROM THE VERY FIRST
TO WRITE UNTO THEE IN ORDER
MOST EXCELLENT THEOPHILUS
/1-4- THAT THOU MIGHTEST KNOW THE CERTAINTY OF THOSE THINGS
WHEREIN THOU HAST BEEN INSTRUCTED.
/1-5- THERE WAS IN THE DAYS OF HEROD
THE KING OF JUDAEA
A CERTAIN PRIEST NAMED ZACHARIAS
OF THE COURSE OF ABIA- AND HIS WIFE WAS OF THE DAUGHTERS OF AARON
AND HER NAME WAS ELISABETH.
/1-6- AND THEY WERE BOTH RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD
WALKING IN ALL THE COMMANDMENTS AND ORDINANCES OF THE LORD BLAMELESS.
/1-7- AND THEY HAD NO CHILD
BECAUSE THAT ELISABETH WAS BARREN
AND THEY BOTH WERE NOW WELL STRICKEN IN YEARS.
/1-8- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT WHILE HE EXECUTED THE PRIEST'S OFFICE BEFORE GOD IN THE ORDER OF HIS COURSE
/1-9- ACCORDING TO THE CUSTOM OF THE PRIEST'S OFFICE
HIS LOT WAS TO BURN INCENSE WHEN HE WENT INTO THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD.
/1-10- AND THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THE PEOPLE WERE PRAYING WITHOUT AT THE TIME OF INCENSE.
/1-11- AND THERE APPEARED UNTO HIM AN ANGEL OF THE LORD STANDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ALTAR OF INCENSE.
/1-12- AND WHEN ZACHARIAS SAW HIM
HE WAS TROUBLED
AND FEAR FELL UPON HIM.
/1-13- BUT THE ANGEL SAID UNTO HIM
FEAR NOT
ZACHARIAS- FOR THY PRAYER IS HEARD AND THY WIFE ELISABETH SHALL BEAR THEE A SON
AND THOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME JOHN.
/1-14- AND THOU SHALT HAVE JOY AND GLADNESS AND MANY SHALL REJOICE AT HIS BIRTH.
/1-15- FOR HE SHALL BE GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD
AND SHALL DRINK NEITHER WINE NOR STRONG DRINK AND HE SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST
EVEN FROM HIS MOTHER'S WOMB.
/1-16- AND MANY OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL HE TURN TO THE LORD THEIR GOD.
/1-17- AND HE SHALL GO BEFORE HIM IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF ELIAS
TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN
AND THE DISOBEDIENT TO THE WISDOM OF THE JUST TO MAKE READY A PEOPLE PREPARED FOR THE LORD.
/1-18- AND ZACHARIAS SAID UNTO THE ANGEL
WHEREBY SHALL I KNOW THIS? FOR I AM AN OLD MAN
AND MY WIFE WELL STRICKEN IN YEARS.
/1-19- AND THE ANGEL ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM
I AM GABRIEL
THAT STAND IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND AM SENT TO SPEAK UNTO THEE
AND TO SHEW THEE THESE GLAD TIDINGS.
/1-20- AND
BEHOLD
THOU SHALT BE DUMB
AND NOT ABLE TO SPEAK
UNTIL THE DAY THAT THESE THINGS SHALL BE PERFORMED
BECAUSE THOU BELIEVEST NOT MY WORDS
WHICH SHALL BE FULFILLED IN THEIR SEASON.
/1-21- AND THE PEOPLE WAITED FOR ZACHARIAS
AND MARVELLED THAT HE TARRIED SO LONG IN THE TEMPLE.
/1-22- AND WHEN HE CAME OUT
HE COULD NOT SPEAK UNTO THEM- AND THEY PERCEIVED THAT HE HAD SEEN A VISION IN THE TEMPLE- FOR HE BECKONED UNTO THEM
AND REMAINED SPEECHLESS.
/1-23- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT
AS SOON AS THE DAYS OF HIS MINISTRATION WERE ACCOMPLISHED
HE DEPARTED TO HIS OWN HOUSE.
/1-24- AND AFTER THOSE DAYS HIS WIFE ELISABETH CONCEIVED
AND HID HERSELF FIVE MONTHS
SAYING
/1-25- THUS HATH THE LORD DEALT WITH ME IN THE DAYS WHEREIN HE LOOKED ON ME
TO TAKE AWAY MY REPROACH AMONG MEN.
/1-26- AND IN THE SIXTH MONTH THE ANGEL GABRIEL WAS SENT FROM GOD UNTO A CITY OF GALILEE
NAMED NAZARETH
/1-27- TO A VIRGIN ESPOUSED TO A MAN WHOSE NAME WAS JOSEPH
OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID AND THE VIRGIN'S NAME WAS MARY.
/1-28- AND THE ANGEL CAME IN UNTO HER
AND SAID
HAIL
THOU THAT ART HIGHLY FAVOURED
THE LORD IS WITH THEE- BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN.
/1-29- AND WHEN SHE SAW HIM
SHE WAS TROUBLED AT HIS SAYING
AND CAST IN HER MIND WHAT MANNER OF SALUTATION THIS SHOULD BE.
/1-30- AND THE ANGEL SAID UNTO HER
FEAR NOT
MARY- FOR THOU HAST FOUND FAVOUR WITH GOD.
/1-31- AND
BEHOLD
THOU SHALT CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB
AND BRING FORTH A SON
AND SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS.
/1-32- HE SHALL BE GREAT
AND SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF THE HIGHEST- AND THE LORD GOD SHALL GIVE UNTO HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER DAVID-
/1-33- AND HE SHALL REIGN OVER THE HOUSE OF JACOB FOR EVER AND OF HIS KINGDOM THERE SHALL BE NO END.
/1-34- THEN SAID MARY UNTO THE ANGEL
HOW SHALL THIS BE
SEEING I KNOW NOT A MAN?
/1-35- AND THE ANGEL ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HER
THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON THEE
AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST SHALL OVERSHADOW THEE- THEREFORE ALSO THAT HOLY THING WHICH SHALL BE BORN OF THEE SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF GOD.
/1-36- AND
BEHOLD
THY COUSIN ELISABETH
SHE HATH ALSO CONCEIVED A SON IN HER OLD AGE- AND THIS IS THE SIXTH MONTH WITH HER
WHO WAS CALLED BARREN.
/1-37- FOR WITH GOD NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE.
/1-38- AND MARY SAID
BEHOLD THE HANDMAID OF THE LORD BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO THY WORD. AND THE ANGEL DEPARTED FROM HER.
/1-39- AND MARY AROSE IN THOSE DAYS
AND WENT INTO THE HILL COUNTRY WITH HASTE
INTO A CITY OF JUDA
/1-40- AND ENTERED INTO THE HOUSE OF ZACHARIAS
AND SALUTED ELISABETH.
/1-41- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT
WHEN ELISABETH HEARD THE SALUTATION OF MARY
THE BABE LEAPED IN HER WOMB AND ELISABETH WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST-
/1-42- AND SHE SPAKE OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE
AND SAID
BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN
AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB.
/1-43- AND WHENCE IS THIS TO ME
THAT THE MOTHER OF MY LORD SHOULD COME TO ME?
/1-44- FOR
LO
AS SOON AS THE VOICE OF THY SALUTATION SOUNDED IN MINE EARS
THE BABE LEAPED IN MY WOMB FOR JOY.
/1-45- AND BLESSED IS SHE THAT BELIEVED- FOR THERE SHALL BE A PERFORMANCE OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TOLD HER FROM THE LORD.
/1-46- AND MARY SAID
MY SOUL DOTH MAGNIFY THE LORD
/1-47- AND MY SPIRIT HATH REJOICED IN GOD MY SAVIOUR.
/1-48- FOR HE HATH REGARDED THE LOW ESTATE OF HIS HANDMAIDEN- FOR
BEHOLD
FROM HENCEFORTH ALL GENERATIONS SHALL CALL ME BLESSED.
/1-49- FOR HE THAT IS MIGHTY HATH DONE TO ME GREAT THINGS AND HOLY IS HIS NAME.
/1-50- AND HIS MERCY IS ON THEM THAT FEAR HIM FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
/1-51- HE HATH SHEWED STRENGTH WITH HIS ARM HE HATH SCATTERED THE PROUD IN THE IMAGINATION OF THEIR HEARTS.
/1-52- HE HATH PUT DOWN THE MIGHTY FROM THEIR SEATS
AND EXALTED THEM OF LOW DEGREE.
/1-53- HE HATH FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS AND THE RICH HE HATH SENT EMPTY AWAY.
/1-54- HE HATH HOLPEN HIS SERVANT ISRAEL
IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIS MERCY
/1-55- AS HE SPAKE TO OUR FATHERS
TO ABRAHAM
AND TO HIS SEED FOR EVER.
/1-56- AND MARY ABODE WITH HER ABOUT THREE MONTHS
AND RETURNED TO HER OWN HOUSE.
/1-57- NOW ELISABETH'S FULL TIME CAME THAT SHE SHOULD BE DELIVERED AND SHE BROUGHT FORTH A SON.
/1-58- AND HER NEIGHBOURS AND HER COUSINS HEARD HOW THE LORD HAD SHEWED GREAT MERCY UPON HER AND THEY REJOICED WITH HER.
/1-59- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT ON THE EIGHTH DAY THEY CAME TO CIRCUMCISE THE CHILD AND THEY CALLED HIM ZACHARIAS
AFTER THE NAME OF HIS FATHER.
/1-60- AND HIS MOTHER ANSWERED AND SAID
NOT SO BUT HE SHALL BE CALLED JOHN.
/1-61- AND THEY SAID UNTO HER
THERE IS NONE OF THY KINDRED THAT IS CALLED BY THIS NAME.
/1-62- AND THEY MADE SIGNS TO HIS FATHER
HOW HE WOULD HAVE HIM CALLED.
/1-63- AND HE ASKED FOR A WRITING TABLE
AND WROTE
SAYING
HIS NAME IS JOHN. AND THEY MARVELLED ALL.
/1-64- AND HIS MOUTH WAS OPENED IMMEDIATELY
AND HIS TONGUE LOOSED
AND HE SPAKE
AND PRAISED GOD.
/1-65- AND FEAR CAME ON ALL THAT DWELT ROUND ABOUT THEM- AND ALL THESE SAYINGS WERE NOISED ABROAD THROUGHOUT ALL THE HILL COUNTRY OF JUDAEA.
/1-66- AND ALL THEY THAT HEARD THEM LAID THEM UP IN THEIR HEARTS
SAYING
WHAT MANNER OF CHILD SHALL THIS BE! AND THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS WITH HIM.
/1-67- AND HIS FATHER ZACHARIAS WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST
AND PROPHESIED
SAYING
/1-68- BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL FOR HE HATH VISITED AND REDEEMED HIS PEOPLE
/1-69- AND HATH RAISED UP AN HORN OF SALVATION FOR US IN THE HOUSE OF HIS SERVANT DAVID
/1-70- AS HE SPAKE BY THE MOUTH OF HIS HOLY PROPHETS
WHICH HAVE BEEN SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN-
/1-71- THAT WE SHOULD BE SAVED FROM OUR ENEMIES
AND FROM THE HAND OF ALL THAT HATE US
/1-72- TO PERFORM THE MERCY PROMISED TO OUR FATHERS
AND TO REMEMBER HIS HOLY COVENANT
/1-73- THE OATH WHICH HE SWARE TO OUR FATHER ABRAHAM
/1-74- THAT HE WOULD GRANT UNTO US
THAT WE BEING DELIVERED OUT OF THE HAND OF OUR ENEMIES MIGHT SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR
/1-75- IN HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE HIM
ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE.
/1-76- AND THOU
CHILD
SHALT BE CALLED THE PROPHET OF THE HIGHEST- FOR THOU SHALT GO BEFORE THE FACE OF THE LORD TO PREPARE HIS WAYS
/1-77- TO GIVE KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION UNTO HIS PEOPLE BY THE REMISSION OF THEIR SINS
/1-78- THROUGH THE TENDER MERCY OF OUR GOD WHEREBY THE DAYSPRING FROM ON HIGH HATH VISITED US
/1-79- TO GIVE LIGHT TO THEM THAT SIT IN DARKNESS AND IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH
TO GUIDE OUR FEET INTO THE WAY OF PEACE.
/1-80- AND THE CHILD GREW
AND WAXED STRONG IN SPIRIT
AND WAS IN THE DESERTS TILL THE DAY OF HIS SHEWING UNTO ISRAEL.
/2-1- AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THOSE DAYS
THAT THERE WENT OUT A DECREE FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS
THAT ALL THE WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED.
/2-2- (AND THIS TAXING WAS FIRST MADE WHEN CYRENIUS WAS GOVERNOR OF SYRIA.)
/2-3- AND ALL WENT TO BE TAXED
EVERY ONE INTO HIS OWN CITY.
/2-4- AND JOSEPH ALSO WENT UP FROM GALILEE
OUT OF THE CITY OF NAZARETH
INTO JUDAEA
UNTO THE CITY OF DAVID
WHICH IS CALLED BETHLEHEM (BECAUSE HE WAS OF THE HOUSE AND LINEAGE OF DAVID-)
/2-5- TO BE TAXED WITH MARY HIS ESPOUSED WIFE
BEING GREAT WITH CHILD.
/2-6- AND SO IT WAS
THAT
WHILE THEY WERE THERE
THE DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED THAT SHE SHOULD BE DELIVERED.
/2-7- AND SHE BROUGHT FORTH HER FIRSTBORN SON
AND WRAPPED HIM IN SWADDLING CLOTHES
AND LAID HIM IN A MANGER BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR THEM IN THE INN.
/2-8- AND THERE WERE IN THE SAME COUNTRY SHEPHERDS ABIDING IN THE FIELD
KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCK BY NIGHT.
/2-9- AND
LO
THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CAME UPON THEM
AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHONE ROUND ABOUT THEM- AND THEY WERE SORE AFRAID.
/2-10- AND THE ANGEL SAID UNTO THEM
FEAR NOT- FOR
BEHOLD
I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY
WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE.
/2-11- FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR
WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD.
/2-12- AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO YOU YE SHALL FIND THE BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES
LYING IN A MANGER.
/2-13- AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS WITH THE ANGEL A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST PRAISING GOD
AND SAYING
/2-14- GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST
AND ON EARTH PEACE
GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.
/2-15- AND IT CAME TO PASS
AS THE ANGELS WERE GONE AWAY FROM THEM INTO HEAVEN
THE SHEPHERDS SAID ONE TO ANOTHER
LET US NOW GO EVEN UNTO BETHLEHEM
AND SEE THIS THING WHICH IS COME TO PASS
WHICH THE LORD HATH MADE KNOWN UNTO US.
/2-16- AND THEY CAME WITH HASTE
AND FOUND MARY
AND JOSEPH
AND THE BABE LYING IN A MANGER.
/2-17- AND WHEN THEY HAD SEEN IT
THEY MADE KNOWN ABROAD THE SAYING WHICH WAS TOLD THEM CONCERNING THIS CHILD.
/2-18- AND ALL THEY THAT HEARD IT WONDERED AT THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TOLD THEM BY THE SHEPHERDS.
/2-19- BUT MARY KEPT ALL THESE THINGS
AND PONDERED THEM IN HER HEART.
/2-20- AND THE SHEPHERDS RETURNED
GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY HAD HEARD AND SEEN
AS IT WAS TOLD UNTO THEM.
/2-21- AND WHEN EIGHT DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE CIRCUMCISING OF THE CHILD
HIS NAME WAS CALLED JESUS
WHICH WAS SO NAMED OF THE ANGEL BEFORE HE WAS CONCEIVED IN THE WOMB.
/2-22- AND WHEN THE DAYS OF HER PURIFICATION ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES WERE ACCOMPLISHED
THEY BROUGHT HIM TO JERUSALEM
TO PRESENT HIM TO THE LORD
/2-23- (AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF THE LORD
EVERY MALE THAT OPENETH THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD)
/2-24- AND TO OFFER A SACRIFICE ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH IS SAID IN THE LAW OF THE LORD
A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES
OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS.
/2-25- AND
BEHOLD
THERE WAS A MAN IN JERUSALEM
WHOSE NAME WAS SIMEON AND THE SAME MAN WAS JUST AND DEVOUT
WAITING FOR THE CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL- AND THE HOLY GHOST WAS UPON HIM.
/2-26- AND IT WAS REVEALED UNTO HIM BY THE HOLY GHOST
THAT HE SHOULD NOT SEE DEATH
BEFORE HE HAD SEEN THE LORD'S CHRIST.
/2-27- AND HE CAME BY THE SPIRIT INTO THE TEMPLE- AND WHEN THE PARENTS BROUGHT IN THE CHILD JESUS
TO DO FOR HIM AFTER THE CUSTOM OF THE LAW
/2-28- THEN TOOK HE HIM UP IN HIS ARMS
AND BLESSED GOD
AND SAID
/2-29- LORD
NOW LETTEST THOU THY SERVANT DEPART IN PEACE
ACCORDING TO THY WORD-
/2-30- FOR MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THY SALVATION
/2-31- WHICH THOU HAST PREPARED BEFORE THE FACE OF ALL PEOPLE
/2-32- A LIGHT TO LIGHTEN THE GENTILES
AND THE GLORY OF THY PEOPLE ISRAEL.
/2-33- AND JOSEPH AND HIS MOTHER MARVELLED AT THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE SPOKEN OF HIM.
/2-34- AND SIMEON BLESSED THEM
AND SAID UNTO MARY HIS MOTHER
BEHOLD
THIS CHILD IS SET FOR THE FALL AND RISING AGAIN OF MANY IN ISRAEL AND FOR A SIGN WHICH SHALL BE SPOKEN AGAINST
/2-35- (YEA
A SWORD SHALL PIERCE THROUGH THY OWN SOUL ALSO
) THAT THE THOUGHTS OF MANY HEARTS MAY BE REVEALED.
/2-36- AND THERE WAS ONE ANNA
A PROPHETESS
THE DAUGHTER OF PHANUEL
OF THE TRIBE OF ASER- SHE WAS OF A GREAT AGE
AND HAD LIVED WITH AN HUSBAND SEVEN YEARS FROM HER VIRGINITY
/2-37- AND SHE WAS A WIDOW OF ABOUT FOURSCORE AND FOUR YEARS
WHICH DEPARTED NOT FROM THE TEMPLE
BUT SERVED GOD WITH FASTINGS AND PRAYERS NIGHT AND DAY.
/2-38- AND SHE COMING IN THAT INSTANT GAVE THANKS LIKEWISE UNTO THE LORD
AND SPAKE OF HIM TO ALL THEM THAT LOOKED FOR REDEMPTION IN JERUSALEM.
/2-39- AND WHEN THEY HAD PERFORMED ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE LORD
THEY RETURNED INTO GALILEE
TO THEIR OWN CITY NAZARETH.
/2-40- AND THE CHILD GREW
AND WAXED STRONG IN SPIRIT
FILLED WITH WISDOM- AND THE GRACE OF GOD WAS UPON HIM.
/2-41- NOW HIS PARENTS WENT TO JERUSALEM EVERY YEAR AT THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER.
/2-42- AND WHEN HE WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD
THEY WENT UP TO JERUSALEM AFTER THE CUSTOM OF THE FEAST.
/2-43- AND WHEN THEY HAD FULFILLED THE DAYS
AS THEY RETURNED
THE CHILD JESUS TARRIED BEHIND IN JERUSALEM AND JOSEPH AND HIS MOTHER KNEW NOT OF IT.
/2-44- BUT THEY
SUPPOSING HIM TO HAVE BEEN IN THE COMPANY
WENT A DAY'S JOURNEY AND THEY SOUGHT HIM AMONG THEIR KINSFOLK AND ACQUAINTANCE.
/2-45- AND WHEN THEY FOUND HIM NOT
THEY TURNED BACK AGAIN TO JERUSALEM
SEEKING HIM.
/2-46- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT AFTER THREE DAYS THEY FOUND HIM IN THE TEMPLE
SITTING IN THE MIDST OF THE DOCTORS
BOTH HEARING THEM
AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS.
/2-47- AND ALL THAT HEARD HIM WERE ASTONISHED AT HIS UNDERSTANDING AND ANSWERS.
/2-48- AND WHEN THEY SAW HIM
THEY WERE AMAZED- AND HIS MOTHER SAID UNTO HIM
SON
WHY HAST THOU THUS DEALT WITH US? BEHOLD
THY FATHER AND I HAVE SOUGHT THEE SORROWING.
/2-49- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
HOW IS IT THAT YE SOUGHT ME? WIST YE NOT THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S BUSINESS?
/2-50- AND THEY UNDERSTOOD NOT THE SAYING WHICH HE SPAKE UNTO THEM.
/2-51- AND HE WENT DOWN WITH THEM
AND CAME TO NAZARETH
AND WAS SUBJECT UNTO THEM- BUT HIS MOTHER KEPT ALL THESE SAYINGS IN HER HEART.
/2-52- AND JESUS INCREASED IN WISDOM AND STATURE
AND IN FAVOUR WITH GOD AND MAN.
/3-1- NOW IN THE FIFTEENTH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF TIBERIUS CAESAR
PONTIUS PILATE BEING GOVERNOR OF JUDAEA
AND HEROD BEING TETRARCH OF GALILEE
AND HIS BROTHER PHILIP TETRARCH OF ITURAEA AND OF THE REGION OF TRACHONITIS
AND LYSANIAS THE TETRARCH OF ABILENE
/3-2- ANNAS AND CAIAPHAS BEING THE HIGH PRIESTS
THE WORD OF GOD CAME UNTO JOHN THE SON OF ZACHARIAS IN THE WILDERNESS.
/3-3- AND HE CAME INTO ALL THE COUNTRY ABOUT JORDAN
PREACHING THE BAPTISM OF REPENTANCE FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS
/3-4- AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE WORDS OF ESAIAS THE PROPHET
SAYING
THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS
PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.
/3-5- EVERY VALLEY SHALL BE FILLED
AND EVERY MOUNTAIN AND HILL SHALL BE BROUGHT LOW AND THE CROOKED SHALL BE MADE STRAIGHT
AND THE ROUGH WAYS SHALL BE MADE SMOOTH
/3-6- AND ALL FLESH SHALL SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD.
/3-7- THEN SAID HE TO THE MULTITUDE THAT CAME FORTH TO BE BAPTIZED OF HIM
O GENERATION OF VIPERS
WHO HATH WARNED YOU TO FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME?
/3-8- BRING FORTH THEREFORE FRUITS WORTHY OF REPENTANCE
AND BEGIN NOT TO SAY WITHIN YOURSELVES
WE HAVE ABRAHAM TO OUR FATHER- FOR I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT GOD IS ABLE OF THESE STONES TO RAISE UP CHILDREN UNTO ABRAHAM.
/3-9- AND NOW ALSO THE AXE IS LAID UNTO THE ROOT OF THE TREES- EVERY TREE THEREFORE WHICH BRINGETH NOT FORTH GOOD FRUIT IS HEWN DOWN
AND CAST INTO THE FIRE.
/3-10- AND THE PEOPLE ASKED HIM
SAYING
WHAT SHALL WE DO THEN?
/3-11- HE ANSWERETH AND SAITH UNTO THEM
HE THAT HATH TWO COATS
LET HIM IMPART TO HIM THAT HATH NONE AND HE THAT HATH MEAT
LET HIM DO LIKEWISE.
/3-12- THEN CAME ALSO PUBLICANS TO BE BAPTIZED
AND SAID UNTO HIM
MASTER
WHAT SHALL WE DO?
/3-13- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
EXACT NO MORE THAN THAT WHICH IS APPOINTED YOU.
/3-14- AND THE SOLDIERS LIKEWISE DEMANDED OF HIM
SAYING
AND WHAT SHALL WE DO? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
DO VIOLENCE TO NO MAN
NEITHER ACCUSE ANY FALSELY AND BE CONTENT WITH YOUR WAGES.
/3-15- AND AS THE PEOPLE WERE IN EXPECTATION
AND ALL MEN MUSED IN THEIR HEARTS OF JOHN
WHETHER HE WERE THE CHRIST
OR NOT
/3-16- JOHN ANSWERED
SAYING UNTO THEM ALL
I INDEED BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER BUT ONE MIGHTIER THAN I COMETH
THE LATCHET OF WHOSE SHOES I AM NOT WORTHY TO UNLOOSE- HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH FIRE-
/3-17- WHOSE FAN IS IN HIS HAND
AND HE WILL THROUGHLY PURGE HIS FLOOR
AND WILL GATHER THE WHEAT INTO HIS GARNER BUT THE CHAFF HE WILL BURN WITH FIRE UNQUENCHABLE.
/3-18- AND MANY OTHER THINGS IN HIS EXHORTATION PREACHED HE UNTO THE PEOPLE.
/3-19- BUT HEROD THE TETRARCH
BEING REPROVED BY HIM FOR HERODIAS HIS BROTHER PHILIP'S WIFE
AND FOR ALL THE EVILS WHICH HEROD HAD DONE
/3-20- ADDED YET THIS ABOVE ALL
THAT HE SHUT UP JOHN IN PRISON.
/3-21- NOW WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE WERE BAPTIZED
IT CAME TO PASS
THAT JESUS ALSO BEING BAPTIZED
AND PRAYING
THE HEAVEN WAS OPENED
/3-22- AND THE HOLY GHOST DESCENDED IN A BODILY SHAPE LIKE A DOVE UPON HIM
AND A VOICE CAME FROM HEAVEN
WHICH SAID
THOU ART MY BELOVED SON IN THEE I AM WELL PLEASED.

HE AFTERWARD HUNGERED.
/4-3- AND THE DEVIL SAID UNTO HIM
IF THOU BE THE SON OF GOD
COMMAND THIS STONE THAT IT BE MADE BREAD.
/4-4- AND JESUS ANSWERED HIM
SAYING
IT IS WRITTEN
THAT MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE
BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD.
/4-5- AND THE DEVIL
TAKING HIM UP INTO AN HIGH MOUNTAIN
SHEWED UNTO HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD IN A MOMENT OF TIME.
/4-6- AND THE DEVIL SAID UNTO HIM

HE DEPARTED FROM HIM FOR A SEASON.
/4-14- AND JESUS RETURNED IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT INTO GALILEE- AND THERE WENT OUT A FAME OF HIM THROUGH ALL THE REGION ROUND ABOUT.
/4-15- AND HE TAUGHT IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES
BEING GLORIFIED OF ALL.
/4-16- AND HE CAME TO NAZARETH
WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP- AND
AS HIS CUSTOM WAS
HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY
AND STOOD UP FOR TO READ.
/4-17- AND THERE WAS DELIVERED UNTO HIM THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ESAIAS. AND WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE BOOK
HE FOUND THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS WRITTEN
/4-18- THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME
BECAUSE HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED
TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES
AND RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND
TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED
/4-19- TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.

PHYSICIAN
HEAL THYSELF- WHATSOEVER WE HAVE HEARD DONE IN CAPERNAUM
DO ALSO HERE IN THY COUNTRY.
/4-24- AND HE SAID
VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU
NO PROPHET IS ACCEPTED IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.
/4-25- BUT I TELL YOU OF A TRUTH
MANY WIDOWS WERE IN ISRAEL IN THE DAYS OF ELIAS
WHEN THE HEAVEN WAS SHUT UP THREE YEARS AND SIX MONTHS
WHEN GREAT FAMINE WAS THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND
/4-26- BUT UNTO NONE OF THEM WAS ELIAS SENT
SAVE UNTO SAREPTA
A CITY OF SIDON
UNTO A WOMAN THAT WAS A WIDOW.
/4-27- AND MANY LEPERS WERE IN ISRAEL IN THE TIME OF ELISEUS THE PROPHET AND NONE OF THEM WAS CLEANSED
SAVING NAAMAN THE SYRIAN.
/4-28- AND ALL THEY IN THE SYNAGOGUE
WHEN THEY HEARD THESE THINGS
WERE FILLED WITH WRATH
/4-29- AND ROSE UP
AND THRUST HIM OUT OF THE CITY
AND LED HIM UNTO THE BROW OF THE HILL WHEREON THEIR CITY WAS BUILT
THAT THEY MIGHT CAST HIM DOWN HEADLONG.
/4-30- BUT HE PASSING THROUGH THE MIDST OF THEM WENT HIS WAY
/4-31- AND CAME DOWN TO CAPERNAUM
A CITY OF GALILEE
AND TAUGHT THEM ON THE SABBATH DAYS.
/4-32- AND THEY WERE ASTONISHED AT HIS DOCTRINE- FOR HIS WORD WAS WITH POWER.
/4-33- AND IN THE SYNAGOGUE THERE WAS A MAN
WHICH HAD A SPIRIT OF AN UNCLEAN DEVIL
AND CRIED OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE
/4-34- SAYING
LET US ALONE WHAT HAVE WE TO DO WITH THEE
THOU JESUS OF NAZARETH? ART THOU COME TO DESTROY US? I KNOW THEE WHO THOU ART THE HOLY ONE OF GOD.
/4-35- AND JESUS REBUKED HIM
SAYING
HOLD THY PEACE
AND COME OUT OF HIM. AND WHEN THE DEVIL HAD THROWN HIM IN THE MIDST
HE CAME OUT OF HIM
AND HURT HIM NOT.
/4-36- AND THEY WERE ALL AMAZED
AND SPAKE AMONG THEMSELVES
SAYING
WHAT A WORD IS THIS! FOR WITH AUTHORITY AND POWER HE COMMANDETH THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS
AND THEY COME OUT.
/4-37- AND THE FAME OF HIM WENT OUT INTO EVERY PLACE OF THE COUNTRY ROUND ABOUT.
/4-38- AND HE AROSE OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE
AND ENTERED INTO SIMON'S HOUSE. AND SIMON'S WIFE'S MOTHER WAS TAKEN WITH A GREAT FEVER AND THEY BESOUGHT HIM FOR HER.
/4-39- AND HE STOOD OVER HER
AND REBUKED THE FEVER AND IT LEFT HER- AND IMMEDIATELY SHE AROSE AND MINISTERED UNTO THEM.
/4-40- NOW WHEN THE SUN WAS SETTING
ALL THEY THAT HAD ANY SICK WITH DIVERS DISEASES BROUGHT THEM UNTO HIM AND HE LAID HIS HANDS ON EVERY ONE OF THEM
AND HEALED THEM.
/4-41- AND DEVILS ALSO CAME OUT OF MANY
CRYING OUT
AND SAYING
THOU ART CHRIST THE SON OF GOD. AND HE REBUKING THEM SUFFERED THEM NOT TO SPEAK- FOR THEY KNEW THAT HE WAS CHRIST.
/4-42- AND WHEN IT WAS DAY
HE DEPARTED AND WENT INTO A DESERT PLACE- AND THE PEOPLE SOUGHT HIM
AND CAME UNTO HIM
AND STAYED HIM
THAT HE SHOULD NOT DEPART FROM THEM.
/4-43- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
I MUST PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO OTHER CITIES ALSO- FOR THEREFORE AM I SENT.
/4-44- AND HE PREACHED IN THE SYNAGOGUES OF GALILEE.
/5-1- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT
AS THE PEOPLE PRESSED UPON HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD
HE STOOD BY THE LAKE OF GENNESARET
/5-2- AND SAW TWO SHIPS STANDING BY THE LAKE- BUT THE FISHERMEN WERE GONE OUT OF THEM
AND WERE WASHING THEIR NETS.
/5-3- AND HE ENTERED INTO ONE OF THE SHIPS
WHICH WAS SIMON'S
AND PRAYED HIM THAT HE WOULD THRUST OUT A LITTLE FROM THE LAND. AND HE SAT DOWN
AND TAUGHT THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE SHIP.
/5-4- NOW WHEN HE HAD LEFT SPEAKING
HE SAID UNTO SIMON
LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP
AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT.
/5-5- AND SIMON ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM
MASTER
WE HAVE TOILED ALL THE NIGHT
AND HAVE TAKEN NOTHING- NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET.
/5-6- AND WHEN THEY HAD THIS DONE
THEY INCLOSED A GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISHES- AND THEIR NET BRAKE.
/5-7- AND THEY BECKONED UNTO THEIR PARTNERS
WHICH WERE IN THE OTHER SHIP
THAT THEY SHOULD COME AND HELP THEM. AND THEY CAME
AND FILLED BOTH THE SHIPS
SO THAT THEY BEGAN TO SINK.
/5-8- WHEN SIMON PETER SAW IT
HE FELL DOWN AT JESUS' KNEES
SAYING
DEPART FROM ME FOR I AM A SINFUL MAN
O LORD.
/5-9- FOR HE WAS ASTONISHED
AND ALL THAT WERE WITH HIM
AT THE DRAUGHT OF THE FISHES WHICH THEY HAD TAKEN-
/5-10- AND SO WAS ALSO JAMES
AND JOHN
THE SONS OF ZEBEDEE
WHICH WERE PARTNERS WITH SIMON. AND JESUS SAID UNTO SIMON
FEAR NOT FROM HENCEFORTH THOU SHALT CATCH MEN.
/5-11- AND WHEN THEY HAD BROUGHT THEIR SHIPS TO LAND
THEY FORSOOK ALL
AND FOLLOWED HIM.
/5-12- AND IT CAME TO PASS
WHEN HE WAS IN A CERTAIN CITY
BEHOLD A MAN FULL OF LEPROSY- WHO SEEING JESUS FELL ON HIS FACE
AND BESOUGHT HIM
SAYING
LORD
IF THOU WILT
THOU CANST MAKE ME CLEAN.
/5-13- AND HE PUT FORTH HIS HAND
AND TOUCHED HIM
SAYING
I WILL- BE THOU CLEAN. AND IMMEDIATELY THE LEPROSY DEPARTED FROM HIM.
/5-14- AND HE CHARGED HIM TO TELL NO MAN- BUT GO
AND SHEW THYSELF TO THE PRIEST
AND OFFER FOR THY CLEANSING
ACCORDING AS MOSES COMMANDED
FOR A TESTIMONY UNTO THEM.
/5-15- BUT SO MUCH THE MORE WENT THERE A FAME ABROAD OF HIM- AND GREAT MULTITUDES CAME TOGETHER TO HEAR
AND TO BE HEALED BY HIM OF THEIR INFIRMITIES.
/5-16- AND HE WITHDREW HIMSELF INTO THE WILDERNESS
AND PRAYED.
/5-17- AND IT CAME TO PASS ON A CERTAIN DAY
AS HE WAS TEACHING
THAT THERE WERE PHARISEES AND DOCTORS OF THE LAW SITTING BY
WHICH WERE COME OUT OF EVERY TOWN OF GALILEE
AND JUDAEA
AND JERUSALEM- AND THE POWER OF THE LORD WAS PRESENT TO HEAL THEM.
/5-18- AND
BEHOLD
MEN BROUGHT IN A BED A MAN WHICH WAS TAKEN WITH A PALSY- AND THEY SOUGHT MEANS TO BRING HIM IN
AND TO LAY HIM BEFORE HIM.
/5-19- AND WHEN THEY COULD NOT FIND BY WHAT WAY THEY MIGHT BRING HIM IN BECAUSE OF THE MULTITUDE
THEY WENT UPON THE HOUSETOP
AND LET HIM DOWN THROUGH THE TILING WITH HIS COUCH INTO THE MIDST BEFORE JESUS.
/5-20- AND WHEN HE SAW THEIR FAITH
HE SAID UNTO HIM
MAN
THY SINS ARE FORGIVEN THEE.
/5-21- AND THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES BEGAN TO REASON
SAYING
WHO IS THIS WHICH SPEAKETH BLASPHEMIES? WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS
BUT GOD ALONE?
/5-22- BUT WHEN JESUS PERCEIVED THEIR THOUGHTS
HE ANSWERING SAID UNTO THEM
WHAT REASON YE IN YOUR HEARTS?
/5-23- WHETHER IS EASIER
TO SAY
THY SINS BE FORGIVEN THEE OR TO SAY
RISE UP AND WALK?
/5-24- BUT THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN HATH POWER UPON EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS
(HE SAID UNTO THE SICK OF THE PALSY
) I SAY UNTO THEE
ARISE
AND TAKE UP THY COUCH
AND GO INTO THINE HOUSE.
/5-25- AND IMMEDIATELY HE ROSE UP BEFORE THEM
AND TOOK UP THAT WHEREON HE LAY
AND DEPARTED TO HIS OWN HOUSE
GLORIFYING GOD.
/5-26- AND THEY WERE ALL AMAZED
AND THEY GLORIFIED GOD
AND WERE FILLED WITH FEAR
SAYING
WE HAVE SEEN STRANGE THINGS TO DAY.
/5-27- AND AFTER THESE THINGS HE WENT FORTH
AND SAW A PUBLICAN
NAMED LEVI
SITTING AT THE RECEIPT OF CUSTOM- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
FOLLOW ME.
/5-28- AND HE LEFT ALL
ROSE UP
AND FOLLOWED HIM.
/5-29- AND LEVI MADE HIM A GREAT FEAST IN HIS OWN HOUSE- AND THERE WAS A GREAT COMPANY OF PUBLICANS AND OF OTHERS THAT SAT DOWN WITH THEM.
/5-30- BUT THEIR SCRIBES AND PHARISEES MURMURED AGAINST HIS DISCIPLES
SAYING
WHY DO YE EAT AND DRINK WITH PUBLICANS AND SINNERS?
/5-31- AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO THEM
THEY THAT ARE WHOLE NEED NOT A PHYSICIAN BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK.
/5-32- I CAME NOT TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS
BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE.
/5-33- AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM
WHY DO THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN FAST OFTEN
AND MAKE PRAYERS
AND LIKEWISE THE DISCIPLES OF THE PHARISEES BUT THINE EAT AND DRINK?
/5-34- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
CAN YE MAKE THE CHILDREN OF THE BRIDECHAMBER FAST
WHILE THE BRIDEGROOM IS WITH THEM?
/5-35- BUT THE DAYS WILL COME
WHEN THE BRIDEGROOM SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM
AND THEN SHALL THEY FAST IN THOSE DAYS.
/5-36- AND HE SPAKE ALSO A PARABLE UNTO THEM NO MAN PUTTETH A PIECE OF A NEW GARMENT UPON AN OLD IF OTHERWISE
THEN BOTH THE NEW MAKETH A RENT
AND THE PIECE THAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE NEW AGREETH NOT WITH THE OLD.
/5-37- AND NO MAN PUTTETH NEW WINE INTO OLD BOTTLES ELSE THE NEW WINE WILL BURST THE BOTTLES
AND BE SPILLED
AND THE BOTTLES SHALL PERISH.
/5-38- BUT NEW WINE MUST BE PUT INTO NEW BOTTLES AND BOTH ARE PRESERVED.
/5-39- NO MAN ALSO HAVING DRUNK OLD WINE STRAIGHTWAY DESIRETH NEW- FOR HE SAITH
THE OLD IS BETTER.
/6-1- AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE SECOND SABBATH AFTER THE FIRST
THAT HE WENT THROUGH THE CORN FIELDS AND HIS DISCIPLES PLUCKED THE EARS OF CORN
AND DID EAT
RUBBING THEM IN THEIR HANDS.
/6-2- AND CERTAIN OF THE PHARISEES SAID UNTO THEM
WHY DO YE THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL TO DO ON THE SABBATH DAYS?
/6-3- AND JESUS ANSWERING THEM SAID
HAVE YE NOT READ SO MUCH AS THIS
WHAT DAVID DID
WHEN HIMSELF WAS AN HUNGRED
AND THEY WHICH WERE WITH HIM
/6-4- HOW HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD
AND DID TAKE AND EAT THE SHEWBREAD
AND GAVE ALSO TO THEM THAT WERE WITH HIM WHICH IT IS NOT LAWFUL TO EAT BUT FOR THE PRIESTS ALONE?
/6-5- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
THAT THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH.
/6-6- AND IT CAME TO PASS ALSO ON ANOTHER SABBATH
THAT HE ENTERED INTO THE SYNAGOGUE AND TAUGHT- AND THERE WAS A MAN WHOSE RIGHT HAND WAS WITHERED.
/6-7- AND THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES WATCHED HIM
WHETHER HE WOULD HEAL ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT THEY MIGHT FIND AN ACCUSATION AGAINST HIM.
/6-8- BUT HE KNEW THEIR THOUGHTS
AND SAID TO THE MAN WHICH HAD THE WITHERED HAND
RISE UP
AND STAND FORTH IN THE MIDST. AND HE AROSE AND STOOD FORTH.
/6-9- THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THEM
I WILL ASK YOU ONE THING IS IT LAWFUL ON THE SABBATH DAYS TO DO GOOD
OR TO DO EVIL? TO SAVE LIFE
OR TO DESTROY IT?
/6-10- AND LOOKING ROUND ABOUT UPON THEM ALL
HE SAID UNTO THE MAN
STRETCH FORTH THY HAND. AND HE DID SO- AND HIS HAND WAS RESTORED WHOLE AS THE OTHER.
/6-11- AND THEY WERE FILLED WITH MADNESS AND COMMUNED ONE WITH ANOTHER WHAT THEY MIGHT DO TO JESUS.
/6-12- AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THOSE DAYS
THAT HE WENT OUT INTO A MOUNTAIN TO PRAY
AND CONTINUED ALL NIGHT IN PRAYER TO GOD.
/6-13- AND WHEN IT WAS DAY
HE CALLED UNTO HIM HIS DISCIPLES- AND OF THEM HE CHOSE TWELVE
WHOM ALSO HE NAMED APOSTLES
/6-14- SIMON
(WHOM HE ALSO NAMED PETER
) AND ANDREW HIS BROTHER
JAMES AND JOHN
PHILIP AND BARTHOLOMEW
/6-15- MATTHEW AND THOMAS
JAMES THE SON OF ALPHAEUS
AND SIMON CALLED ZELOTES
/6-16- AND JUDAS THE BROTHER OF JAMES
AND JUDAS ISCARIOT
WHICH ALSO WAS THE TRAITOR.
/6-17- AND HE CAME DOWN WITH THEM
AND STOOD IN THE PLAIN
AND THE COMPANY OF HIS DISCIPLES
AND A GREAT MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE OUT OF ALL JUDAEA AND JERUSALEM
AND FROM THE SEA COAST OF TYRE AND SIDON
WHICH CAME TO HEAR HIM
AND TO BE HEALED OF THEIR DISEASES
/6-18- AND THEY THAT WERE VEXED WITH UNCLEAN SPIRITS- AND THEY WERE HEALED.
/6-19- AND THE WHOLE MULTITUDE SOUGHT TO TOUCH HIM- FOR THERE WENT VIRTUE OUT OF HIM
AND HEALED THEM ALL.
/6-20- AND HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES ON HIS DISCIPLES
AND SAID
BLESSED BE YE POOR- FOR YOURS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/6-21- BLESSED ARE YE THAT HUNGER NOW- FOR YE SHALL BE FILLED. BLESSED ARE YE THAT WEEP NOW- FOR YE SHALL LAUGH.
/6-22- BLESSED ARE YE
WHEN MEN SHALL HATE YOU
AND WHEN THEY SHALL SEPARATE YOU FROM THEIR COMPANY
AND SHALL REPROACH YOU
AND CAST OUT YOUR NAME AS EVIL
FOR THE SON OF MAN'S SAKE.
/6-23- REJOICE YE IN THAT DAY
AND LEAP FOR JOY- FOR
BEHOLD
YOUR REWARD IS GREAT IN HEAVEN- FOR IN THE LIKE MANNER DID THEIR FATHERS UNTO THE PROPHETS.
/6-24- BUT WOE UNTO YOU THAT ARE RICH! FOR YE HAVE RECEIVED YOUR CONSOLATION.
/6-25- WOE UNTO YOU THAT ARE FULL! FOR YE SHALL HUNGER. WOE UNTO YOU THAT LAUGH NOW! FOR YE SHALL MOURN AND WEEP.
/6-26- WOE UNTO YOU
WHEN ALL MEN SHALL SPEAK WELL OF YOU! FOR SO DID THEIR FATHERS TO THE FALSE PROPHETS.
/6-27- BUT I SAY UNTO YOU WHICH HEAR
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
DO GOOD TO THEM WHICH HATE YOU
/6-28- BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU
AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU.
/6-29- AND UNTO HIM THAT SMITETH THEE ON THE ONE CHEEK OFFER ALSO THE OTHER AND HIM THAT TAKETH AWAY THY CLOKE FORBID NOT TO TAKE THY COAT ALSO.
/6-30- GIVE TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH OF THEE AND OF HIM THAT TAKETH AWAY THY GOODS ASK THEM NOT AGAIN.
/6-31- AND AS YE WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU
DO YE ALSO TO THEM LIKEWISE.
/6-32- FOR IF YE LOVE THEM WHICH LOVE YOU
WHAT THANK HAVE YE? FOR SINNERS ALSO LOVE THOSE THAT LOVE THEM.
/6-33- AND IF YE DO GOOD TO THEM WHICH DO GOOD TO YOU
WHAT THANK HAVE YE? FOR SINNERS ALSO DO EVEN THE SAME.
/6-34- AND IF YE LEND TO THEM OF WHOM YE HOPE TO RECEIVE
WHAT THANK HAVE YE? FOR SINNERS ALSO LEND TO SINNERS
TO RECEIVE AS MUCH AGAIN.
/6-35- BUT LOVE YE YOUR ENEMIES
AND DO GOOD
AND LEND
HOPING FOR NOTHING AGAIN AND YOUR REWARD SHALL BE GREAT
AND YE SHALL BE THE CHILDREN OF THE HIGHEST- FOR HE IS KIND UNTO THE UNTHANKFUL AND TO THE EVIL.
/6-36- BE YE THEREFORE MERCIFUL
AS YOUR FATHER ALSO IS MERCIFUL.
/6-37- JUDGE NOT
AND YE SHALL NOT BE JUDGED- CONDEMN NOT
AND YE SHALL NOT BE CONDEMNED- FORGIVE
AND YE SHALL BE FORGIVEN-
/6-38- GIVE
AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU GOOD MEASURE
PRESSED DOWN
AND SHAKEN TOGETHER
AND RUNNING OVER
SHALL MEN GIVE INTO YOUR BOSOM. FOR WITH THE SAME MEASURE THAT YE METE WITHAL IT SHALL BE MEASURED TO YOU AGAIN.
/6-39- AND HE SPAKE A PARABLE UNTO THEM
CAN THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND? SHALL THEY NOT BOTH FALL INTO THE DITCH?
/6-40- THE DISCIPLE IS NOT ABOVE HIS MASTER- BUT EVERY ONE THAT IS PERFECT SHALL BE AS HIS MASTER.
/6-41- AND WHY BEHOLDEST THOU THE MOTE THAT IS IN THY BROTHER'S EYE
BUT PERCEIVEST NOT THE BEAM THAT IS IN THINE OWN EYE?
/6-42- EITHER HOW CANST THOU SAY TO THY BROTHER
BROTHER
LET ME PULL OUT THE MOTE THAT IS IN THINE EYE
WHEN THOU THYSELF BEHOLDEST NOT THE BEAM THAT IS IN THINE OWN EYE? THOU HYPOCRITE
CAST OUT FIRST THE BEAM OUT OF THINE OWN EYE
AND THEN SHALT THOU SEE CLEARLY TO PULL OUT THE MOTE THAT IS IN THY BROTHER'S EYE.
/6-43- FOR A GOOD TREE BRINGETH NOT FORTH CORRUPT FRUIT NEITHER DOTH A CORRUPT TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT.
/6-44- FOR EVERY TREE IS KNOWN BY HIS OWN FRUIT. FOR OF THORNS MEN DO NOT GATHER FIGS
NOR OF A BRAMBLE BUSH GATHER THEY GRAPES.
/6-45- A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS EVIL- FOR OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH.
/6-46- AND WHY CALL YE ME
LORD
LORD
AND DO NOT THE THINGS WHICH I SAY?
/6-47- WHOSOEVER COMETH TO ME
AND HEARETH MY SAYINGS
AND DOETH THEM
I WILL SHEW YOU TO WHOM HE IS LIKE-
/6-48- HE IS LIKE A MAN WHICH BUILT AN HOUSE
AND DIGGED DEEP
AND LAID THE FOUNDATION ON A ROCK- AND WHEN THE FLOOD AROSE
THE STREAM BEAT VEHEMENTLY UPON THAT HOUSE
AND COULD NOT SHAKE IT- FOR IT WAS FOUNDED UPON A ROCK.
/6-49- BUT HE THAT HEARETH
AND DOETH NOT
IS LIKE A MAN THAT WITHOUT A FOUNDATION BUILT AN HOUSE UPON THE EARTH AGAINST WHICH THE STREAM DID BEAT VEHEMENTLY
AND IMMEDIATELY IT FELL AND THE RUIN OF THAT HOUSE WAS GREAT.
/7-1- NOW WHEN HE HAD ENDED ALL HIS SAYINGS IN THE AUDIENCE OF THE PEOPLE
HE ENTERED INTO CAPERNAUM.
/7-2- AND A CERTAIN CENTURION'S SERVANT
WHO WAS DEAR UNTO HIM
WAS SICK
AND READY TO DIE.
/7-3- AND WHEN HE HEARD OF JESUS
HE SENT UNTO HIM THE ELDERS OF THE JEWS
BESEECHING HIM THAT HE WOULD COME AND HEAL HIS SERVANT.
/7-4- AND WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS
THEY BESOUGHT HIM INSTANTLY
SAYING
THAT HE WAS WORTHY FOR WHOM HE SHOULD DO THIS-
/7-5- FOR HE LOVETH OUR NATION
AND HE HATH BUILT US A SYNAGOGUE.
/7-6- THEN JESUS WENT WITH THEM. AND WHEN HE WAS NOW NOT FAR FROM THE HOUSE
THE CENTURION SENT FRIENDS TO HIM
SAYING UNTO HIM
LORD
TROUBLE NOT THYSELF- FOR I AM NOT WORTHY THAT THOU SHOULDEST ENTER UNDER MY ROOF-
/7-7- WHEREFORE NEITHER THOUGHT I MYSELF WORTHY TO COME UNTO THEE- BUT SAY IN A WORD
AND MY SERVANT SHALL BE HEALED.
/7-8- FOR I ALSO AM A MAN SET UNDER AUTHORITY
HAVING UNDER ME SOLDIERS
AND I SAY UNTO ONE
GO
AND HE GOETH AND TO ANOTHER
COME
AND HE COMETH AND TO MY SERVANT
DO THIS
AND HE DOETH IT.
/7-9- WHEN JESUS HEARD THESE THINGS
HE MARVELLED AT HIM
AND TURNED HIM ABOUT
AND SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE THAT FOLLOWED HIM
I SAY UNTO YOU
I HAVE NOT FOUND SO GREAT FAITH
NO
NOT IN ISRAEL.
/7-10- AND THEY THAT WERE SENT
RETURNING TO THE HOUSE
FOUND THE SERVANT WHOLE THAT HAD BEEN SICK.
/7-11- AND IT CAME TO PASS THE DAY AFTER
THAT HE WENT INTO A CITY CALLED NAIN AND MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT WITH HIM
AND MUCH PEOPLE.
/7-12- NOW WHEN HE CAME NIGH TO THE GATE OF THE CITY
BEHOLD
THERE WAS A DEAD MAN CARRIED OUT
THE ONLY SON OF HIS MOTHER
AND SHE WAS A WIDOW- AND MUCH PEOPLE OF THE CITY WAS WITH HER.
/7-13- AND WHEN THE LORD SAW HER
HE HAD COMPASSION ON HER
AND SAID UNTO HER
WEEP NOT.
/7-14- AND HE CAME AND TOUCHED THE BIER- AND THEY THAT BARE HIM STOOD STILL. AND HE SAID
YOUNG MAN
I SAY UNTO THEE
ARISE.
/7-15- AND HE THAT WAS DEAD SAT UP
AND BEGAN TO SPEAK. AND HE DELIVERED HIM TO HIS MOTHER.
/7-16- AND THERE CAME A FEAR ON ALL- AND THEY GLORIFIED GOD
SAYING
THAT A GREAT PROPHET IS RISEN UP AMONG US AND
THAT GOD HATH VISITED HIS PEOPLE.
/7-17- AND THIS RUMOUR OF HIM WENT FORTH THROUGHOUT ALL JUDAEA
AND THROUGHOUT ALL THE REGION ROUND ABOUT.
/7-18- AND THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN SHEWED HIM OF ALL THESE THINGS.
/7-19- AND JOHN CALLING UNTO HIM TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES SENT THEM TO JESUS
SAYING
ART THOU HE THAT SHOULD COME? OR LOOK WE FOR ANOTHER?
/7-20- WHEN THE MEN WERE COME UNTO HIM
THEY SAID
JOHN BAPTIST HATH SENT US UNTO THEE
SAYING
ART THOU HE THAT SHOULD COME? OR LOOK WE FOR ANOTHER?
/7-21- AND IN THAT SAME HOUR HE CURED MANY OF THEIR INFIRMITIES AND PLAGUES
AND OF EVIL SPIRITS AND UNTO MANY THAT WERE BLIND HE GAVE SIGHT.
/7-22- THEN JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO THEM
GO YOUR WAY
AND TELL JOHN WHAT THINGS YE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD HOW THAT THE BLIND SEE
THE LAME WALK
THE LEPERS ARE CLEANSED
THE DEAF HEAR
THE DEAD ARE RAISED
TO THE POOR THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED.
/7-23- AND BLESSED IS HE
WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT BE OFFENDED IN ME.
/7-24- AND WHEN THE MESSENGERS OF JOHN WERE DEPARTED
HE BEGAN TO SPEAK UNTO THE PEOPLE CONCERNING JOHN
WHAT WENT YE OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS FOR TO SEE? A REED SHAKEN WITH THE WIND?
/7-25- BUT WHAT WENT YE OUT FOR TO SEE? A MAN CLOTHED IN SOFT RAIMENT? BEHOLD
THEY WHICH ARE GORGEOUSLY APPARELLED
AND LIVE DELICATELY
ARE IN KINGS' COURTS.
/7-26- BUT WHAT WENT YE OUT FOR TO SEE? A PROPHET? YEA
I SAY UNTO YOU
AND MUCH MORE THAN A PROPHET.
/7-27- THIS IS HE
OF WHOM IT IS WRITTEN
BEHOLD
I SEND MY MESSENGER BEFORE THY FACE
WHICH SHALL PREPARE THY WAY BEFORE THEE.
/7-28- FOR I SAY UNTO YOU
AMONG THOSE THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN THERE IS NOT A GREATER PROPHET THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST- BUT HE THAT IS LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS GREATER THAN HE.
/7-29- AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HEARD HIM
AND THE PUBLICANS
JUSTIFIED GOD
BEING BAPTIZED WITH THE BAPTISM OF JOHN.
/7-30- BUT THE PHARISEES AND LAWYERS REJECTED THE COUNSEL OF GOD AGAINST THEMSELVES
BEING NOT BAPTIZED OF HIM.
/7-31- AND THE LORD SAID
WHEREUNTO THEN SHALL I LIKEN THE MEN OF THIS GENERATION? AND TO WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?
/7-32- THEY ARE LIKE UNTO CHILDREN SITTING IN THE MARKETPLACE
AND CALLING ONE TO ANOTHER
AND SAYING
WE HAVE PIPED UNTO YOU
AND YE HAVE NOT DANCED WE HAVE MOURNED TO YOU
AND YE HAVE NOT WEPT.
/7-33- FOR JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME NEITHER EATING BREAD NOR DRINKING WINE AND YE SAY
HE HATH A DEVIL.
/7-34- THE SON OF MAN IS COME EATING AND DRINKING AND YE SAY
BEHOLD A GLUTTONOUS MAN
AND A WINEBIBBER
A FRIEND OF PUBLICANS AND SINNERS!
/7-35- BUT WISDOM IS JUSTIFIED OF ALL HER CHILDREN.
/7-36- AND ONE OF THE PHARISEES DESIRED HIM THAT HE WOULD EAT WITH HIM. AND HE WENT INTO THE PHARISEE'S HOUSE
AND SAT DOWN TO MEAT.
/7-37- AND
BEHOLD
A WOMAN IN THE CITY
WHICH WAS A SINNER
WHEN SHE KNEW THAT JESUS SAT AT MEAT IN THE PHARISEE'S HOUSE
BROUGHT AN ALABASTER BOX OF OINTMENT
/7-38- AND STOOD AT HIS FEET BEHIND HIM WEEPING
AND BEGAN TO WASH HIS FEET WITH TEARS
AND DID WIPE THEM WITH THE HAIRS OF HER HEAD
AND KISSED HIS FEET
AND ANOINTED THEM WITH THE OINTMENT.
/7-39- NOW WHEN THE PHARISEE WHICH HAD BIDDEN HIM SAW IT
HE SPAKE WITHIN HIMSELF
SAYING
THIS MAN
IF HE WERE A PROPHET
WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHO AND WHAT MANNER OF WOMAN THIS IS THAT TOUCHETH HIM- FOR SHE IS A SINNER.
/7-40- AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM
SIMON
I HAVE SOMEWHAT TO SAY UNTO THEE. AND HE SAITH
MASTER
SAY ON.
/7-41- THERE WAS A CERTAIN CREDITOR WHICH HAD TWO DEBTORS- THE ONE OWED FIVE HUNDRED PENCE
AND THE OTHER FIFTY.
/7-42- AND WHEN THEY HAD NOTHING TO PAY
HE FRANKLY FORGAVE THEM BOTH. TELL ME THEREFORE
WHICH OF THEM WILL LOVE HIM MOST?
/7-43- SIMON ANSWERED AND SAID
I SUPPOSE THAT HE
TO WHOM HE FORGAVE MOST. AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
THOU HAST RIGHTLY JUDGED.
/7-44- AND HE TURNED TO THE WOMAN
AND SAID UNTO SIMON
SEEST THOU THIS WOMAN? I ENTERED INTO THINE HOUSE
THOU GAVEST ME NO WATER FOR MY FEET- BUT SHE HATH WASHED MY FEET WITH TEARS
AND WIPED THEM WITH THE HAIRS OF HER HEAD.
/7-45- THOU GAVEST ME NO KISS- BUT THIS WOMAN SINCE THE TIME I CAME IN HATH NOT CEASED TO KISS MY FEET.
/7-46- MY HEAD WITH OIL THOU DIDST NOT ANOINT- BUT THIS WOMAN HATH ANOINTED MY FEET WITH OINTMENT.
/7-47- WHEREFORE I SAY UNTO THEE
HER SINS
WHICH ARE MANY
ARE FORGIVEN FOR SHE LOVED MUCH- BUT TO WHOM LITTLE IS FORGIVEN
THE SAME LOVETH LITTLE.
/7-48- AND HE SAID UNTO HER
THY SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
/7-49- AND THEY THAT SAT AT MEAT WITH HIM BEGAN TO SAY WITHIN THEMSELVES
WHO IS THIS THAT FORGIVETH SINS ALSO?
/7-50- AND HE SAID TO THE WOMAN
THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE GO IN PEACE.
/8-1- AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTERWARD
THAT HE WENT THROUGHOUT EVERY CITY AND VILLAGE
PREACHING AND SHEWING THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD- AND THE TWELVE WERE WITH HIM
/8-2- AND CERTAIN WOMEN
WHICH HAD BEEN HEALED OF EVIL SPIRITS AND INFIRMITIES
MARY CALLED MAGDALENE
OUT OF WHOM WENT SEVEN DEVILS
/8-3- AND JOANNA THE WIFE OF CHUZA HEROD'S STEWARD
AND SUSANNA
AND MANY OTHERS
WHICH MINISTERED UNTO HIM OF THEIR SUBSTANCE.
/8-4- AND WHEN MUCH PEOPLE WERE GATHERED TOGETHER
AND WERE COME TO HIM OUT OF EVERY CITY
HE SPAKE BY A PARABLE-
/8-5- A SOWER WENT OUT TO SOW HIS SEED- AND AS HE SOWED
SOME FELL BY THE WAY SIDE AND IT WAS TRODDEN DOWN
AND THE FOWLS OF THE AIR DEVOURED IT.
/8-6- AND SOME FELL UPON A ROCK AND AS SOON AS IT WAS SPRUNG UP
IT WITHERED AWAY
BECAUSE IT LACKED MOISTURE.
/8-7- AND SOME FELL AMONG THORNS AND THE THORNS SPRANG UP WITH IT
AND CHOKED IT.
/8-8- AND OTHER FELL ON GOOD GROUND
AND SPRANG UP
AND BARE FRUIT AN HUNDREDFOLD. AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THESE THINGS
HE CRIED
HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR
LET HIM HEAR.
/8-9- AND HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM
SAYING
WHAT MIGHT THIS PARABLE BE?
/8-10- AND HE SAID
UNTO YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD- BUT TO OTHERS IN PARABLES THAT SEEING THEY MIGHT NOT SEE
AND HEARING THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND.
/8-11- NOW THE PARABLE IS THIS- THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD.
/8-12- THOSE BY THE WAY SIDE ARE THEY THAT HEAR THEN COMETH THE DEVIL
AND TAKETH AWAY THE WORD OUT OF THEIR HEARTS
LEST THEY SHOULD BELIEVE AND BE SAVED.
/8-13- THEY ON THE ROCK ARE THEY
WHICH
WHEN THEY HEAR
RECEIVE THE WORD WITH JOY AND THESE HAVE NO ROOT
WHICH FOR A WHILE BELIEVE
AND IN TIME OF TEMPTATION FALL AWAY.
/8-14- AND THAT WHICH FELL AMONG THORNS ARE THEY
WHICH
WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD
GO FORTH
AND ARE CHOKED WITH CARES AND RICHES AND PLEASURES OF THIS LIFE
AND BRING NO FRUIT TO PERFECTION.
/8-15- BUT THAT ON THE GOOD GROUND ARE THEY
WHICH IN AN HONEST AND GOOD HEART
HAVING HEARD THE WORD
KEEP IT
AND BRING FORTH FRUIT WITH PATIENCE.
/8-16- NO MAN
WHEN HE HATH LIGHTED A CANDLE
COVERETH IT WITH A VESSEL
OR PUTTETH IT UNDER A BED BUT SETTETH IT ON A CANDLESTICK
THAT THEY WHICH ENTER IN MAY SEE THE LIGHT.
/8-17- FOR NOTHING IS SECRET
THAT SHALL NOT BE MADE MANIFEST NEITHER ANY THING HID
THAT SHALL NOT BE KNOWN AND COME ABROAD.
/8-18- TAKE HEED THEREFORE HOW YE HEAR- FOR WHOSOEVER HATH
TO HIM SHALL BE GIVEN AND WHOSOEVER HATH NOT
FROM HIM SHALL BE TAKEN EVEN THAT WHICH HE SEEMETH TO HAVE.
/8-19- THEN CAME TO HIM HIS MOTHER AND HIS BRETHREN
AND COULD NOT COME AT HIM FOR THE PRESS.
/8-20- AND IT WAS TOLD HIM BY CERTAIN WHICH SAID
THY MOTHER AND THY BRETHREN STAND WITHOUT
DESIRING TO SEE THEE.
/8-21- AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM
MY MOTHER AND MY BRETHREN ARE THESE WHICH HEAR THE WORD OF GOD
AND DO IT.
/8-22- NOW IT CAME TO PASS ON A CERTAIN DAY
THAT HE WENT INTO A SHIP WITH HIS DISCIPLES- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
LET US GO OVER UNTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE. AND THEY LAUNCHED FORTH.
/8-23- BUT AS THEY SAILED HE FELL ASLEEP- AND THERE CAME DOWN A STORM OF WIND ON THE LAKE AND THEY WERE FILLED WITH WATER
AND WERE IN JEOPARDY.
/8-24- AND THEY CAME TO HIM
AND AWOKE HIM
SAYING
MASTER
MASTER
WE PERISH. THEN HE AROSE
AND REBUKED THE WIND AND THE RAGING OF THE WATER- AND THEY CEASED
AND THERE WAS A CALM.
/8-25- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WHERE IS YOUR FAITH? AND THEY BEING AFRAID WONDERED
SAYING ONE TO ANOTHER
WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS! FOR HE COMMANDETH EVEN THE WINDS AND WATER
AND THEY OBEY HIM.
/8-26- AND THEY ARRIVED AT THE COUNTRY OF THE GADARENES
WHICH IS OVER AGAINST GALILEE.
/8-27- AND WHEN HE WENT FORTH TO LAND
THERE MET HIM OUT OF THE CITY A CERTAIN MAN
WHICH HAD DEVILS LONG TIME
AND WARE NO CLOTHES
NEITHER ABODE IN ANY HOUSE
BUT IN THE TOMBS.
/8-28- WHEN HE SAW JESUS
HE CRIED OUT
AND FELL DOWN BEFORE HIM
AND WITH A LOUD VOICE SAID
WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE
JESUS
THOU SON OF GOD MOST HIGH? I BESEECH THEE
TORMENT ME NOT.
/8-29- (FOR HE HAD COMMANDED THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT TO COME OUT OF THE MAN. FOR OFTENTIMES IT HAD CAUGHT HIM- AND HE WAS KEPT BOUND WITH CHAINS AND IN FETTERS AND HE BRAKE THE BANDS
AND WAS DRIVEN OF THE DEVIL INTO THE WILDERNESS.)
/8-30- AND JESUS ASKED HIM
SAYING
WHAT IS THY NAME? AND HE SAID
LEGION- BECAUSE MANY DEVILS WERE ENTERED INTO HIM.
/8-31- AND THEY BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WOULD NOT COMMAND THEM TO GO OUT INTO THE DEEP.
/8-32- AND THERE WAS THERE AN HERD OF MANY SWINE FEEDING ON THE MOUNTAIN- AND THEY BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WOULD SUFFER THEM TO ENTER INTO THEM. AND HE SUFFERED THEM.
/8-33- THEN WENT THE DEVILS OUT OF THE MAN
AND ENTERED INTO THE SWINE- AND THE HERD RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE INTO THE LAKE
AND WERE CHOKED.
/8-34- WHEN THEY THAT FED THEM SAW WHAT WAS DONE
THEY FLED
AND WENT AND TOLD IT IN THE CITY AND IN THE COUNTRY.
/8-35- THEN THEY WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT WAS DONE AND CAME TO JESUS
AND FOUND THE MAN
OUT OF WHOM THE DEVILS WERE DEPARTED
SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS
CLOTHED
AND IN HIS RIGHT MIND- AND THEY WERE AFRAID.
/8-36- THEY ALSO WHICH SAW IT TOLD THEM BY WHAT MEANS HE THAT WAS POSSESSED OF THE DEVILS WAS HEALED.
/8-37- THEN THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THE COUNTRY OF THE GADARENES ROUND ABOUT BESOUGHT HIM TO DEPART FROM THEM FOR THEY WERE TAKEN WITH GREAT FEAR- AND HE WENT UP INTO THE SHIP
AND RETURNED BACK AGAIN.
/8-38- NOW THE MAN OUT OF WHOM THE DEVILS WERE DEPARTED BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE MIGHT BE WITH HIM- BUT JESUS SENT HIM AWAY
SAYING
/8-39- RETURN TO THINE OWN HOUSE
AND SHEW HOW GREAT THINGS GOD HATH DONE UNTO THEE. AND HE WENT HIS WAY
AND PUBLISHED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY HOW GREAT THINGS JESUS HAD DONE UNTO HIM.
/8-40- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT
WHEN JESUS WAS RETURNED
THE PEOPLE GLADLY RECEIVED HIM- FOR THEY WERE ALL WAITING FOR HIM.
/8-41- AND
BEHOLD
THERE CAME A MAN NAMED JAIRUS
AND HE WAS A RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE- AND HE FELL DOWN AT JESUS' FEET
AND BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WOULD COME INTO HIS HOUSE-
/8-42- FOR HE HAD ONE ONLY DAUGHTER
ABOUT TWELVE YEARS OF AGE
AND SHE LAY A DYING. BUT AS HE WENT THE PEOPLE THRONGED HIM.
/8-43- AND A WOMAN HAVING AN ISSUE OF BLOOD TWELVE YEARS
WHICH HAD SPENT ALL HER LIVING UPON PHYSICIANS
NEITHER COULD BE HEALED OF ANY
/8-44- CAME BEHIND HIM
AND TOUCHED THE BORDER OF HIS GARMENT- AND IMMEDIATELY HER ISSUE OF BLOOD STANCHED.
/8-45- AND JESUS SAID
WHO TOUCHED ME? WHEN ALL DENIED
PETER AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM SAID
MASTER
THE MULTITUDE THRONG THEE AND PRESS THEE
AND SAYEST THOU
WHO TOUCHED ME?
/8-46- AND JESUS SAID
SOMEBODY HATH TOUCHED ME- FOR I PERCEIVE THAT VIRTUE IS GONE OUT OF ME.
/8-47- AND WHEN THE WOMAN SAW THAT SHE WAS NOT HID
SHE CAME TREMBLING
AND FALLING DOWN BEFORE HIM
SHE DECLARED UNTO HIM BEFORE ALL THE PEOPLE FOR WHAT CAUSE SHE HAD TOUCHED HIM
AND HOW SHE WAS HEALED IMMEDIATELY.
/8-48- AND HE SAID UNTO HER
DAUGHTER
BE OF GOOD COMFORT- THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE GO IN PEACE.
/8-49- WHILE HE YET SPAKE
THERE COMETH ONE FROM THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE'S HOUSE
SAYING TO HIM
THY DAUGHTER IS DEAD TROUBLE NOT THE MASTER.
/8-50- BUT WHEN JESUS HEARD IT
HE ANSWERED HIM
SAYING
FEAR NOT- BELIEVE ONLY
AND SHE SHALL BE MADE WHOLE.
/8-51- AND WHEN HE CAME INTO THE HOUSE
HE SUFFERED NO MAN TO GO IN
SAVE PETER
AND JAMES
AND JOHN
AND THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER OF THE MAIDEN.
/8-52- AND ALL WEPT
AND BEWAILED HER- BUT HE SAID
WEEP NOT SHE IS NOT DEAD
BUT SLEEPETH.
/8-53- AND THEY LAUGHED HIM TO SCORN
KNOWING THAT SHE WAS DEAD.
/8-54- AND HE PUT THEM ALL OUT
AND TOOK HER BY THE HAND
AND CALLED
SAYING
MAID
ARISE.
/8-55- AND HER SPIRIT CAME AGAIN
AND SHE AROSE STRAIGHTWAY- AND HE COMMANDED TO GIVE HER MEAT.
/8-56- AND HER PARENTS WERE ASTONISHED- BUT HE CHARGED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD TELL NO MAN WHAT WAS DONE.
/9-1- THEN HE CALLED HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES TOGETHER
AND GAVE THEM POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL DEVILS
AND TO CURE DISEASES.
/9-2- AND HE SENT THEM TO PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD
AND TO HEAL THE SICK.
/9-3- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
TAKE NOTHING FOR YOUR JOURNEY
NEITHER STAVES
NOR SCRIP
NEITHER BREAD
NEITHER MONEY NEITHER HAVE TWO COATS APIECE.
/9-4- AND WHATSOEVER HOUSE YE ENTER INTO
THERE ABIDE
AND THENCE DEPART.
/9-5- AND WHOSOEVER WILL NOT RECEIVE YOU
WHEN YE GO OUT OF THAT CITY
SHAKE OFF THE VERY DUST FROM YOUR FEET FOR A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM.
/9-6- AND THEY DEPARTED
AND WENT THROUGH THE TOWNS
PREACHING THE GOSPEL
AND HEALING EVERY WHERE.
/9-7- NOW HEROD THE TETRARCH HEARD OF ALL THAT WAS DONE BY HIM- AND HE WAS PERPLEXED
BECAUSE THAT IT WAS SAID OF SOME
THAT JOHN WAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD
/9-8- AND OF SOME
THAT ELIAS HAD APPEARED AND OF OTHERS
THAT ONE OF THE OLD PROPHETS WAS RISEN AGAIN.
/9-9- AND HEROD SAID
JOHN HAVE I BEHEADED- BUT WHO IS THIS
OF WHOM I HEAR SUCH THINGS? AND HE DESIRED TO SEE HIM.
/9-10- AND THE APOSTLES
WHEN THEY WERE RETURNED
TOLD HIM ALL THAT THEY HAD DONE. AND HE TOOK THEM
AND WENT ASIDE PRIVATELY INTO A DESERT PLACE BELONGING TO THE CITY CALLED BETHSAIDA.
/9-11- AND THE PEOPLE
WHEN THEY KNEW IT
FOLLOWED HIM- AND HE RECEIVED THEM
AND SPAKE UNTO THEM OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
AND HEALED THEM THAT HAD NEED OF HEALING.
/9-12- AND WHEN THE DAY BEGAN TO WEAR AWAY
THEN CAME THE TWELVE
AND SAID UNTO HIM
SEND THE MULTITUDE AWAY
THAT THEY MAY GO INTO THE TOWNS AND COUNTRY ROUND ABOUT
AND LODGE
AND GET VICTUALS- FOR WE ARE HERE IN A DESERT PLACE.
/9-13- BUT HE SAID UNTO THEM
GIVE YE THEM TO EAT. AND THEY SAID
WE HAVE NO MORE BUT FIVE LOAVES AND TWO FISHES EXCEPT WE SHOULD GO AND BUY MEAT FOR ALL THIS PEOPLE.
/9-14- FOR THEY WERE ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND MEN. AND HE SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES
MAKE THEM SIT DOWN BY FIFTIES IN A COMPANY.
/9-15- AND THEY DID SO
AND MADE THEM ALL SIT DOWN.
/9-16- THEN HE TOOK THE FIVE LOAVES AND THE TWO FISHES
AND LOOKING UP TO HEAVEN
HE BLESSED THEM
AND BRAKE
AND GAVE TO THE DISCIPLES TO SET BEFORE THE MULTITUDE.
/9-17- AND THEY DID EAT
AND WERE ALL FILLED- AND THERE WAS TAKEN UP OF FRAGMENTS THAT REMAINED TO THEM TWELVE BASKETS.
/9-18- AND IT CAME TO PASS
AS HE WAS ALONE PRAYING
HIS DISCIPLES WERE WITH HIM- AND HE ASKED THEM
SAYING
WHOM SAY THE PEOPLE THAT I AM?
/9-19- THEY ANSWERING SAID
JOHN THE BAPTIST BUT SOME SAY
ELIAS AND OTHERS SAY
THAT ONE OF THE OLD PROPHETS IS RISEN AGAIN.
/9-20- HE SAID UNTO THEM
BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM? PETER ANSWERING SAID
THE CHRIST OF GOD.
/9-21- AND HE STRAITLY CHARGED THEM
AND COMMANDED THEM TO TELL NO MAN THAT THING
/9-22- SAYING
THE SON OF MAN MUST SUFFER MANY THINGS
AND BE REJECTED OF THE ELDERS AND CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES
AND BE SLAIN
AND BE RAISED THE THIRD DAY.
/9-23- AND HE SAID TO THEM ALL
IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME
LET HIM DENY HIMSELF
AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY
AND FOLLOW ME.
/9-24- FOR WHOSOEVER WILL SAVE HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT- BUT WHOSOEVER WILL LOSE HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE
THE SAME SHALL SAVE IT.
/9-25- FOR WHAT IS A MAN ADVANTAGED
IF HE GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD
AND LOSE HIMSELF
OR BE CAST AWAY?
/9-26- FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL BE ASHAMED OF ME AND OF MY WORDS
OF HIM SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE ASHAMED
WHEN HE SHALL COME IN HIS OWN GLORY
AND IN HIS FATHER'S
AND OF THE HOLY ANGELS.
/9-27- BUT I TELL YOU OF A TRUTH
THERE BE SOME STANDING HERE
WHICH SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH
TILL THEY SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/9-28- AND IT CAME TO PASS ABOUT AN EIGHT DAYS AFTER THESE SAYINGS
HE TOOK PETER AND JOHN AND JAMES
AND WENT UP INTO A MOUNTAIN TO PRAY.
/9-29- AND AS HE PRAYED
THE FASHION OF HIS COUNTENANCE WAS ALTERED
AND HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AND GLISTERING.
/9-30- AND
BEHOLD
THERE TALKED WITH HIM TWO MEN
WHICH WERE MOSES AND ELIAS-
/9-31- WHO APPEARED IN GLORY
AND SPAKE OF HIS DECEASE WHICH HE SHOULD ACCOMPLISH AT JERUSALEM.
/9-32- BUT PETER AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM WERE HEAVY WITH SLEEP- AND WHEN THEY WERE AWAKE
THEY SAW HIS GLORY
AND THE TWO MEN THAT STOOD WITH HIM.
/9-33- AND IT CAME TO PASS
AS THEY DEPARTED FROM HIM
PETER SAID UNTO JESUS
MASTER
IT IS GOOD FOR US TO BE HERE- AND LET US MAKE THREE TABERNACLES ONE FOR THEE
AND ONE FOR MOSES
AND ONE FOR ELIAS- NOT KNOWING WHAT HE SAID.
/9-34- WHILE HE THUS SPAKE
THERE CAME A CLOUD
AND OVERSHADOWED THEM- AND THEY FEARED AS THEY ENTERED INTO THE CLOUD.
/9-35- AND THERE CAME A VOICE OUT OF THE CLOUD
SAYING
THIS IS MY BELOVED SON- HEAR HIM.
/9-36- AND WHEN THE VOICE WAS PAST
JESUS WAS FOUND ALONE. AND THEY KEPT IT CLOSE
AND TOLD NO MAN IN THOSE DAYS ANY OF THOSE THINGS WHICH THEY HAD SEEN.
/9-37- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT ON THE NEXT DAY
WHEN THEY WERE COME DOWN FROM THE HILL
MUCH PEOPLE MET HIM.
/9-38- AND
BEHOLD
A MAN OF THE COMPANY CRIED OUT
SAYING
MASTER
I BESEECH THEE
LOOK UPON MY SON- FOR HE IS MINE ONLY CHILD.
/9-39- AND
LO
A SPIRIT TAKETH HIM
AND HE SUDDENLY CRIETH OUT AND IT TEARETH HIM THAT HE FOAMETH AGAIN
AND BRUISING HIM HARDLY DEPARTETH FROM HIM.
/9-40- AND I BESOUGHT THY DISCIPLES TO CAST HIM OUT AND THEY COULD NOT.
/9-41- AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID
O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION
HOW LONG SHALL I BE WITH YOU
AND SUFFER YOU? BRING THY SON HITHER.
/9-42- AND AS HE WAS YET A COMING
THE DEVIL THREW HIM DOWN
AND TARE HIM. AND JESUS REBUKED THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT
AND HEALED THE CHILD
AND DELIVERED HIM AGAIN TO HIS FATHER.
/9-43- AND THEY WERE ALL AMAZED AT THE MIGHTY POWER OF GOD. BUT WHILE THEY WONDERED EVERY ONE AT ALL THINGS WHICH JESUS DID
HE SAID UNTO HIS DISCIPLES
/9-44- LET THESE SAYINGS SINK DOWN INTO YOUR EARS- FOR THE SON OF MAN SHALL BE DELIVERED INTO THE HANDS OF MEN.
/9-45- BUT THEY UNDERSTOOD NOT THIS SAYING
AND IT WAS HID FROM THEM
THAT THEY PERCEIVED IT NOT- AND THEY FEARED TO ASK HIM OF THAT SAYING.
/9-46- THEN THERE AROSE A REASONING AMONG THEM
WHICH OF THEM SHOULD BE GREATEST.
/9-47- AND JESUS
PERCEIVING THE THOUGHT OF THEIR HEART
TOOK A CHILD
AND SET HIM BY HIM
/9-48- AND SAID UNTO THEM
WHOSOEVER SHALL RECEIVE THIS CHILD IN MY NAME RECEIVETH ME- AND WHOSOEVER SHALL RECEIVE ME RECEIVETH HIM THAT SENT ME- FOR HE THAT IS LEAST AMONG YOU ALL
THE SAME SHALL BE GREAT.
/9-49- AND JOHN ANSWERED AND SAID
MASTER
WE SAW ONE CASTING OUT DEVILS IN THY NAME AND WE FORBAD HIM
BECAUSE HE FOLLOWETH NOT WITH US.
/9-50- AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
FORBID HIM NOT- FOR HE THAT IS NOT AGAINST US IS FOR US.
/9-51- AND IT CAME TO PASS
WHEN THE TIME WAS COME THAT HE SHOULD BE RECEIVED UP
HE STEDFASTLY SET HIS FACE TO GO TO JERUSALEM
/9-52- AND SENT MESSENGERS BEFORE HIS FACE- AND THEY WENT
AND ENTERED INTO A VILLAGE OF THE SAMARITANS
TO MAKE READY FOR HIM.
/9-53- AND THEY DID NOT RECEIVE HIM
BECAUSE HIS FACE WAS AS THOUGH HE WOULD GO TO JERUSALEM.
/9-54- AND WHEN HIS DISCIPLES JAMES AND JOHN SAW THIS
THEY SAID
LORD
WILT THOU THAT WE COMMAND FIRE TO COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN
AND CONSUME THEM
EVEN AS ELIAS DID?
/9-55- BUT HE TURNED
AND REBUKED THEM
AND SAID
YE KNOW NOT WHAT MANNER OF SPIRIT YE ARE OF.
/9-56- FOR THE SON OF MAN IS NOT COME TO DESTROY MEN'S LIVES
BUT TO SAVE THEM. AND THEY WENT TO ANOTHER VILLAGE.
/9-57- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT
AS THEY WENT IN THE WAY
A CERTAIN MAN SAID UNTO HIM
LORD
I WILL FOLLOW THEE WHITHERSOEVER THOU GOEST.
/9-58- AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
FOXES HAVE HOLES
AND BIRDS OF THE AIR HAVE NESTS BUT THE SON OF MAN HATH NOT WHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD.
/9-59- AND HE SAID UNTO ANOTHER
FOLLOW ME. BUT HE SAID
LORD
SUFFER ME FIRST TO GO AND BURY MY FATHER.
/9-60- JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD- BUT GO THOU AND PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/9-61- AND ANOTHER ALSO SAID
LORD
I WILL FOLLOW THEE BUT LET ME FIRST GO BID THEM FAREWELL
WHICH ARE AT HOME AT MY HOUSE.
/9-62- AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
NO MAN
HAVING PUT HIS HAND TO THE PLOUGH
AND LOOKING BACK
IS FIT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/10-1- AFTER THESE THINGS THE LORD APPOINTED OTHER SEVENTY ALSO
AND SENT THEM TWO AND TWO BEFORE HIS FACE INTO EVERY CITY AND PLACE
WHITHER HE HIMSELF WOULD COME.
/10-2- THEREFORE SAID HE UNTO THEM
THE HARVEST TRULY IS GREAT
BUT THE LABOURERS ARE FEW- PRAY YE THEREFORE THE LORD OF THE HARVEST
THAT HE WOULD SEND FORTH LABOURERS INTO HIS HARVEST.
/10-3- GO YOUR WAYS- BEHOLD
I SEND YOU FORTH AS LAMBS AMONG WOLVES.
/10-4- CARRY NEITHER PURSE
NOR SCRIP
NOR SHOES- AND SALUTE NO MAN BY THE WAY.
/10-5- AND INTO WHATSOEVER HOUSE YE ENTER
FIRST SAY
PEACE BE TO THIS HOUSE.
/10-6- AND IF THE SON OF PEACE BE THERE
YOUR PEACE SHALL REST UPON IT- IF NOT
IT SHALL TURN TO YOU AGAIN.
/10-7- AND IN THE SAME HOUSE REMAIN
EATING AND DRINKING SUCH THINGS AS THEY GIVE- FOR THE LABOURER IS WORTHY OF HIS HIRE. GO NOT FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE.
/10-8- AND INTO WHATSOEVER CITY YE ENTER
AND THEY RECEIVE YOU
EAT SUCH THINGS AS ARE SET BEFORE YOU-
/10-9- AND HEAL THE SICK THAT ARE THEREIN
AND SAY UNTO THEM
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME NIGH UNTO YOU.
/10-10- BUT INTO WHATSOEVER CITY YE ENTER
AND THEY RECEIVE YOU NOT
GO YOUR WAYS OUT INTO THE STREETS OF THE SAME
AND SAY
/10-11- EVEN THE VERY DUST OF YOUR CITY
WHICH CLEAVETH ON US
WE DO WIPE OFF AGAINST YOU- NOTWITHSTANDING BE YE SURE OF THIS
THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME NIGH UNTO YOU.
/10-12- BUT I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT IT SHALL BE MORE TOLERABLE IN THAT DAY FOR SODOM
THAN FOR THAT CITY.
/10-13- WOE UNTO THEE
CHORAZIN! WOE UNTO THEE
BETHSAIDA! FOR IF THE MIGHTY WORKS HAD BEEN DONE IN TYRE AND SIDON
WHICH HAVE BEEN DONE IN YOU
THEY HAD A GREAT WHILE AGO REPENTED
SITTING IN SACKCLOTH AND ASHES.
/10-14- BUT IT SHALL BE MORE TOLERABLE FOR TYRE AND SIDON AT THE JUDGMENT
THAN FOR YOU.
/10-15- AND THOU
CAPERNAUM
WHICH ART EXALTED TO HEAVEN
SHALT BE THRUST DOWN TO HELL.
/10-16- HE THAT HEARETH YOU HEARETH ME AND HE THAT DESPISETH YOU DESPISETH ME AND HE THAT DESPISETH ME DESPISETH HIM THAT SENT ME.
/10-17- AND THE SEVENTY RETURNED AGAIN WITH JOY
SAYING
LORD
EVEN THE DEVILS ARE SUBJECT UNTO US THROUGH THY NAME.
/10-18- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
I BEHELD SATAN AS LIGHTNING FALL FROM HEAVEN.
/10-19- BEHOLD
I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS
AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY- AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU.
/10-20- NOTWITHSTANDING IN THIS REJOICE NOT
THAT THE SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT UNTO YOU BUT RATHER REJOICE
BECAUSE YOUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.
/10-21- IN THAT HOUR JESUS REJOICED IN SPIRIT
AND SAID
I THANK THEE
O FATHER
LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
THAT THOU HAST HID THESE THINGS FROM THE WISE AND PRUDENT
AND HAST REVEALED THEM UNTO BABES- EVEN SO
FATHER FOR SO IT SEEMED GOOD IN THY SIGHT.
/10-22- ALL THINGS ARE DELIVERED TO ME OF MY FATHER- AND NO MAN KNOWETH WHO THE SON IS
BUT THE FATHER AND WHO THE FATHER IS
BUT THE SON
AND HE TO WHOM THE SON WILL REVEAL HIM.
/10-23- AND HE TURNED HIM UNTO HIS DISCIPLES
AND SAID PRIVATELY
BLESSED ARE THE EYES WHICH SEE THE THINGS THAT YE SEE-
/10-24- FOR I TELL YOU
THAT MANY PROPHETS AND KINGS HAVE DESIRED TO SEE THOSE THINGS WHICH YE SEE
AND HAVE NOT SEEN THEM AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGS WHICH YE HEAR
AND HAVE NOT HEARD THEM.
/10-25- AND
BEHOLD
A CERTAIN LAWYER STOOD UP
AND TEMPTED HIM
SAYING
MASTER
WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?
/10-26- HE SAID UNTO HIM
WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW? HOW READEST THOU?
/10-27- AND HE ANSWERING SAID
THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART
AND WITH ALL THY SOUL
AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH
AND WITH ALL THY MIND AND THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.
/10-28- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
THOU HAST ANSWERED RIGHT- THIS DO
AND THOU SHALT LIVE.
/10-29- BUT HE
WILLING TO JUSTIFY HIMSELF
SAID UNTO JESUS
AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR?
/10-30- AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID
A CERTAIN MAN WENT DOWN FROM JERUSALEM TO JERICHO
AND FELL AMONG THIEVES
WHICH STRIPPED HIM OF HIS RAIMENT
AND WOUNDED HIM
AND DEPARTED
LEAVING HIM HALF DEAD.
/10-31- AND BY CHANCE THERE CAME DOWN A CERTAIN PRIEST THAT WAY- AND WHEN HE SAW HIM
HE PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
/10-32- AND LIKEWISE A LEVITE
WHEN HE WAS AT THE PLACE
CAME AND LOOKED ON HIM
AND PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
/10-33- BUT A CERTAIN SAMARITAN
AS HE JOURNEYED
CAME WHERE HE WAS- AND WHEN HE SAW HIM
HE HAD COMPASSION ON HIM
/10-34- AND WENT TO HIM
AND BOUND UP HIS WOUNDS
POURING IN OIL AND WINE
AND SET HIM ON HIS OWN BEAST
AND BROUGHT HIM TO AN INN
AND TOOK CARE OF HIM.
/10-35- AND ON THE MORROW WHEN HE DEPARTED
HE TOOK OUT TWO PENCE
AND GAVE THEM TO THE HOST
AND SAID UNTO HIM
TAKE CARE OF HIM AND WHATSOEVER THOU SPENDEST MORE
WHEN I COME AGAIN
I WILL REPAY THEE.
/10-36- WHICH NOW OF THESE THREE
THINKEST THOU
WAS NEIGHBOUR UNTO HIM THAT FELL AMONG THE THIEVES?
/10-37- AND HE SAID
HE THAT SHEWED MERCY ON HIM. THEN SAID JESUS UNTO HIM
GO
AND DO THOU LIKEWISE.
/10-38- NOW IT CAME TO PASS
AS THEY WENT
THAT HE ENTERED INTO A CERTAIN VILLAGE- AND A CERTAIN WOMAN NAMED MARTHA RECEIVED HIM INTO HER HOUSE.
/10-39- AND SHE HAD A SISTER CALLED MARY
WHICH ALSO SAT AT JESUS' FEET
AND HEARD HIS WORD.
/10-40- BUT MARTHA WAS CUMBERED ABOUT MUCH SERVING
AND CAME TO HIM
AND SAID
LORD
DOST THOU NOT CARE THAT MY SISTER HATH LEFT ME TO SERVE ALONE? BID HER THEREFORE THAT SHE HELP ME.
/10-41- AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HER
MARTHA
MARTHA
THOU ART CAREFUL AND TROUBLED ABOUT MANY THINGS-
/10-42- BUT ONE THING IS NEEDFUL- AND MARY HATH CHOSEN THAT GOOD PART
WHICH SHALL NOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HER.
/11-1- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT
AS HE WAS PRAYING IN A CERTAIN PLACE
WHEN HE CEASED
ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES SAID UNTO HIM
LORD
TEACH US TO PRAY
AS JOHN ALSO TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES.
/11-2- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WHEN YE PRAY
SAY
OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN
HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE
AS IN HEAVEN
SO IN EARTH.
/11-3- GIVE US DAY BY DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.
/11-4- AND FORGIVE US OUR SINS FOR WE ALSO FORGIVE EVERY ONE THAT IS INDEBTED TO US. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
/11-5- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WHICH OF YOU SHALL HAVE A FRIEND
AND SHALL GO UNTO HIM AT MIDNIGHT
AND SAY UNTO HIM
FRIEND
LEND ME THREE LOAVES
/11-6- FOR A FRIEND OF MINE IN HIS JOURNEY IS COME TO ME
AND I HAVE NOTHING TO SET BEFORE HIM?
/11-7- AND HE FROM WITHIN SHALL ANSWER AND SAY
TROUBLE ME NOT- THE DOOR IS NOW SHUT
AND MY CHILDREN ARE WITH ME IN BED I CANNOT RISE AND GIVE THEE.
/11-8- I SAY UNTO YOU
THOUGH HE WILL NOT RISE AND GIVE HIM
BECAUSE HE IS HIS FRIEND
YET BECAUSE OF HIS IMPORTUNITY HE WILL RISE AND GIVE HIM AS MANY AS HE NEEDETH.
/11-9- AND I SAY UNTO YOU
ASK
AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU SEEK
AND YE SHALL FIND KNOCK
AND IT SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU.
/11-10- FOR EVERY ONE THAT ASKETH RECEIVETH AND HE THAT SEEKETH FINDETH AND TO HIM THAT KNOCKETH IT SHALL BE OPENED.
/11-11- IF A SON SHALL ASK BREAD OF ANY OF YOU THAT IS A FATHER
WILL HE GIVE HIM A STONE? OR IF HE ASK A FISH
WILL HE FOR A FISH GIVE HIM A SERPENT?
/11-12- OR IF HE SHALL ASK AN EGG
WILL HE OFFER HIM A SCORPION?
/11-13- IF YE THEN
BEING EVIL
KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS UNTO YOUR CHILDREN- HOW MUCH MORE SHALL YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THEM THAT ASK HIM?
/11-14- AND HE WAS CASTING OUT A DEVIL
AND IT WAS DUMB. AND IT CAME TO PASS
WHEN THE DEVIL WAS GONE OUT
THE DUMB SPAKE AND THE PEOPLE WONDERED.
/11-15- BUT SOME OF THEM SAID
HE CASTETH OUT DEVILS THROUGH BEELZEBUB THE CHIEF OF THE DEVILS.
/11-16- AND OTHERS
TEMPTING HIM
SOUGHT OF HIM A SIGN FROM HEAVEN.
/11-17- BUT HE
KNOWING THEIR THOUGHTS
SAID UNTO THEM
EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF IS BROUGHT TO DESOLATION AND A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST A HOUSE FALLETH.
/11-18- IF SATAN ALSO BE DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF
HOW SHALL HIS KINGDOM STAND? BECAUSE YE SAY THAT I CAST OUT DEVILS THROUGH BEELZEBUB.
/11-19- AND IF I BY BEELZEBUB CAST OUT DEVILS
BY WHOM DO YOUR SONS CAST THEM OUT? THEREFORE SHALL THEY BE YOUR JUDGES.
/11-20- BUT IF I WITH THE FINGER OF GOD CAST OUT DEVILS
NO DOUBT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME UPON YOU.
/11-21- WHEN A STRONG MAN ARMED KEEPETH HIS PALACE
HIS GOODS ARE IN PEACE-
/11-22- BUT WHEN A STRONGER THAN HE SHALL COME UPON HIM
AND OVERCOME HIM
HE TAKETH FROM HIM ALL HIS ARMOUR WHEREIN HE TRUSTED
AND DIVIDETH HIS SPOILS.
/11-23- HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME- AND HE THAT GATHERETH NOT WITH ME SCATTERETH.
/11-24- WHEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT IS GONE OUT OF A MAN
HE WALKETH THROUGH DRY PLACES
SEEKING REST AND FINDING NONE
HE SAITH
I WILL RETURN UNTO MY HOUSE WHENCE I CAME OUT.
/11-25- AND WHEN HE COMETH
HE FINDETH IT SWEPT AND GARNISHED.
/11-26- THEN GOETH HE
AND TAKETH TO HIM SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED THAN HIMSELF AND THEY ENTER IN
AND DWELL THERE- AND THE LAST STATE OF THAT MAN IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST.
/11-27- AND IT CAME TO PASS
AS HE SPAKE THESE THINGS
A CERTAIN WOMAN OF THE COMPANY LIFTED UP HER VOICE
AND SAID UNTO HIM
BLESSED IS THE WOMB THAT BARE THEE
AND THE PAPS WHICH THOU HAST SUCKED.
/11-28- BUT HE SAID
YEA RATHER
BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR THE WORD OF GOD
AND KEEP IT.
/11-29- AND WHEN THE PEOPLE WERE GATHERED THICK TOGETHER
HE BEGAN TO SAY
THIS IS AN EVIL GENERATION- THEY SEEK A SIGN AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN BE GIVEN IT
BUT THE SIGN OF JONAS THE PROPHET.
/11-30- FOR AS JONAS WAS A SIGN UNTO THE NINEVITES
SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE TO THIS GENERATION.
/11-31- THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH SHALL RISE UP IN THE JUDGMENT WITH THE MEN OF THIS GENERATION
AND CONDEMN THEM- FOR SHE CAME FROM THE UTMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH TO HEAR THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON AND
BEHOLD
A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE.
/11-32- THE MEN OF NINEVE SHALL RISE UP IN THE JUDGMENT WITH THIS GENERATION
AND SHALL CONDEMN IT- FOR THEY REPENTED AT THE PREACHING OF JONAS AND
BEHOLD
A GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE.
/11-33- NO MAN
WHEN HE HATH LIGHTED A CANDLE
PUTTETH IT IN A SECRET PLACE
NEITHER UNDER A BUSHEL
BUT ON A CANDLESTICK
THAT THEY WHICH COME IN MAY SEE THE LIGHT.
/11-34- THE LIGHT OF THE BODY IS THE EYE- THEREFORE WHEN THINE EYE IS SINGLE
THY WHOLE BODY ALSO IS FULL OF LIGHT BUT WHEN THINE EYE IS EVIL
THY BODY ALSO IS FULL OF DARKNESS.
/11-35- TAKE HEED THEREFORE THAT THE LIGHT WHICH IS IN THEE BE NOT DARKNESS.
/11-36- IF THY WHOLE BODY THEREFORE BE FULL OF LIGHT
HAVING NO PART DARK
THE WHOLE SHALL BE FULL OF LIGHT
AS WHEN THE BRIGHT SHINING OF A CANDLE DOTH GIVE THEE LIGHT.
/11-37- AND AS HE SPAKE
A CERTAIN PHARISEE BESOUGHT HIM TO DINE WITH HIM- AND HE WENT IN
AND SAT DOWN TO MEAT.
/11-38- AND WHEN THE PHARISEE SAW IT
HE MARVELLED THAT HE HAD NOT FIRST WASHED BEFORE DINNER.
/11-39- AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM
NOW DO YE PHARISEES MAKE CLEAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CUP AND THE PLATTER BUT YOUR INWARD PART IS FULL OF RAVENING AND WICKEDNESS.
/11-40- YE FOOLS
DID NOT HE THAT MADE THAT WHICH IS WITHOUT MAKE THAT WHICH IS WITHIN ALSO?
/11-41- BUT RATHER GIVE ALMS OF SUCH THINGS AS YE HAVE AND
BEHOLD
ALL THINGS ARE CLEAN UNTO YOU.
/11-42- BUT WOE UNTO YOU
PHARISEES! FOR YE TITHE MINT AND RUE AND ALL MANNER OF HERBS
AND PASS OVER JUDGMENT AND THE LOVE OF GOD- THESE OUGHT YE TO HAVE DONE
AND NOT TO LEAVE THE OTHER UNDONE.
/11-43- WOE UNTO YOU
PHARISEES! FOR YE LOVE THE UPPERMOST SEATS IN THE SYNAGOGUES
AND GREETINGS IN THE MARKETS.
/11-44- WOE UNTO YOU
SCRIBES AND PHARISEES
HYPOCRITES! FOR YE ARE AS GRAVES WHICH APPEAR NOT
AND THE MEN THAT WALK OVER THEM ARE NOT AWARE OF THEM.
/11-45- THEN ANSWERED ONE OF THE LAWYERS
AND SAID UNTO HIM
MASTER
THUS SAYING THOU REPROACHEST US ALSO.
/11-46- AND HE SAID
WOE UNTO YOU ALSO
YE LAWYERS! FOR YE LADE MEN WITH BURDENS GRIEVOUS TO BE BORNE
AND YE YOURSELVES TOUCH NOT THE BURDENS WITH ONE OF YOUR FINGERS.
/11-47- WOE UNTO YOU! FOR YE BUILD THE SEPULCHRES OF THE PROPHETS
AND YOUR FATHERS KILLED THEM.
/11-48- TRULY YE BEAR WITNESS THAT YE ALLOW THE DEEDS OF YOUR FATHERS- FOR THEY INDEED KILLED THEM
AND YE BUILD THEIR SEPULCHRES.
/11-49- THEREFORE ALSO SAID THE WISDOM OF GOD
I WILL SEND THEM PROPHETS AND APOSTLES
AND SOME OF THEM THEY SHALL SLAY AND PERSECUTE-
/11-50- THAT THE BLOOD OF ALL THE PROPHETS
WHICH WAS SHED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
MAY BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION
/11-51- FROM THE BLOOD OF ABEL UNTO THE BLOOD OF ZACHARIAS
WHICH PERISHED BETWEEN THE ALTAR AND THE TEMPLE- VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU
IT SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION.
/11-52- WOE UNTO YOU
LAWYERS! FOR YE HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE KEY OF KNOWLEDGE- YE ENTERED NOT IN YOURSELVES
AND THEM THAT WERE ENTERING IN YE HINDERED.
/11-53- AND AS HE SAID THESE THINGS UNTO THEM
THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES BEGAN TO URGE HIM VEHEMENTLY
AND TO PROVOKE HIM TO SPEAK OF MANY THINGS-
/11-54- LAYING WAIT FOR HIM
AND SEEKING TO CATCH SOMETHING OUT OF HIS MOUTH
THAT THEY MIGHT ACCUSE HIM.
/12-1- IN THE MEAN TIME
WHEN THERE WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AN INNUMERABLE MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE
INSOMUCH THAT THEY TRODE ONE UPON ANOTHER
HE BEGAN TO SAY UNTO HIS DISCIPLES FIRST OF ALL
BEWARE YE OF THE LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEES
WHICH IS HYPOCRISY.
/12-2- FOR THERE IS NOTHING COVERED
THAT SHALL NOT BE REVEALED NEITHER HID
THAT SHALL NOT BE KNOWN.
/12-3- THEREFORE WHATSOEVER YE HAVE SPOKEN IN DARKNESS SHALL BE HEARD IN THE LIGHT AND THAT WHICH YE HAVE SPOKEN IN THE EAR IN CLOSETS SHALL BE PROCLAIMED UPON THE HOUSETOPS.
/12-4- AND I SAY UNTO YOU MY FRIENDS
BE NOT AFRAID OF THEM THAT KILL THE BODY
AND AFTER THAT HAVE NO MORE THAT THEY CAN DO.
/12-5- BUT I WILL FOREWARN YOU WHOM YE SHALL FEAR- FEAR HIM
WHICH AFTER HE HATH KILLED HATH POWER TO CAST INTO HELL YEA
I SAY UNTO YOU
FEAR HIM.
/12-6- ARE NOT FIVE SPARROWS SOLD FOR TWO FARTHINGS
AND NOT ONE OF THEM IS FORGOTTEN BEFORE GOD?
/12-7- BUT EVEN THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED. FEAR NOT THEREFORE- YE ARE OF MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS.
/12-8- ALSO I SAY UNTO YOU
WHOSOEVER SHALL CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN
HIM SHALL THE SON OF MAN ALSO CONFESS BEFORE THE ANGELS OF GOD-
/12-9- BUT HE THAT DENIETH ME BEFORE MEN SHALL BE DENIED BEFORE THE ANGELS OF GOD.
/12-10- AND WHOSOEVER SHALL SPEAK A WORD AGAINST THE SON OF MAN
IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM- BUT UNTO HIM THAT BLASPHEMETH AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN.
/12-11- AND WHEN THEY BRING YOU UNTO THE SYNAGOGUES
AND UNTO MAGISTRATES
AND POWERS
TAKE YE NO THOUGHT HOW OR WHAT THING YE SHALL ANSWER
OR WHAT YE SHALL SAY-
/12-12- FOR THE HOLY GHOST SHALL TEACH YOU IN THE SAME HOUR WHAT YE OUGHT TO SAY.
/12-13- AND ONE OF THE COMPANY SAID UNTO HIM
MASTER
SPEAK TO MY BROTHER
THAT HE DIVIDE THE INHERITANCE WITH ME.
/12-14- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
MAN
WHO MADE ME A JUDGE OR A DIVIDER OVER YOU?
/12-15- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
TAKE HEED
AND BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS- FOR A MAN'S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS WHICH HE POSSESSETH.
/12-16- AND HE SPAKE A PARABLE UNTO THEM
SAYING
THE GROUND OF A CERTAIN RICH MAN BROUGHT FORTH PLENTIFULLY-
/12-17- AND HE THOUGHT WITHIN HIMSELF
SAYING
WHAT SHALL I DO
BECAUSE I HAVE NO ROOM WHERE TO BESTOW MY FRUITS?
/12-18- AND HE SAID
THIS WILL I DO- I WILL PULL DOWN MY BARNS
AND BUILD GREATER AND THERE WILL I BESTOW ALL MY FRUITS AND MY GOODS.
/12-19- AND I WILL SAY TO MY SOUL
SOUL
THOU HAST MUCH GOODS LAID UP FOR MANY YEARS TAKE THINE EASE
EAT
DRINK
AND BE MERRY.
/12-20- BUT GOD SAID UNTO HIM
THOU FOOL
THIS NIGHT THY SOUL SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THEE- THEN WHOSE SHALL THOSE THINGS BE
WHICH THOU HAST PROVIDED?
/12-21- SO IS HE THAT LAYETH UP TREASURE FOR HIMSELF
AND IS NOT RICH TOWARD GOD.
/12-22- AND HE SAID UNTO HIS DISCIPLES
THEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU
TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR YOUR LIFE
WHAT YE SHALL EAT NEITHER FOR THE BODY
WHAT YE SHALL PUT ON.
/12-23- THE LIFE IS MORE THAN MEAT
AND THE BODY IS MORE THAN RAIMENT.
/12-24- CONSIDER THE RAVENS- FOR THEY NEITHER SOW NOR REAP WHICH NEITHER HAVE STOREHOUSE NOR BARN AND GOD FEEDETH THEM- HOW MUCH MORE ARE YE BETTER THAN THE FOWLS?
/12-25- AND WHICH OF YOU WITH TAKING THOUGHT CAN ADD TO HIS STATURE ONE CUBIT?
/12-26- IF YE THEN BE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT THING WHICH IS LEAST
WHY TAKE YE THOUGHT FOR THE REST?
/12-27- CONSIDER THE LILIES HOW THEY GROW- THEY TOIL NOT
THEY SPIN NOT AND YET I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT SOLOMON IN ALL HIS GLORY WAS NOT ARRAYED LIKE ONE OF THESE.
/12-28- IF THEN GOD SO CLOTHE THE GRASS
WHICH IS TO DAY IN THE FIELD
AND TO MORROW IS CAST INTO THE OVEN HOW MUCH MORE WILL HE CLOTHE YOU
O YE OF LITTLE FAITH?
/12-29- AND SEEK NOT YE WHAT YE SHALL EAT
OR WHAT YE SHALL DRINK
NEITHER BE YE OF DOUBTFUL MIND.
/12-30- FOR ALL THESE THINGS DO THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD SEEK AFTER- AND YOUR FATHER KNOWETH THAT YE HAVE NEED OF THESE THINGS.
/12-31- BUT RATHER SEEK YE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.
/12-32- FEAR NOT
LITTLE FLOCK FOR IT IS YOUR FATHER'S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM.
/12-33- SELL THAT YE HAVE
AND GIVE ALMS PROVIDE YOURSELVES BAGS WHICH WAX NOT OLD
A TREASURE IN THE HEAVENS THAT FAILETH NOT
WHERE NO THIEF APPROACHETH
NEITHER MOTH CORRUPTETH.
/12-34- FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS
THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO.
/12-35- LET YOUR LOINS BE GIRDED ABOUT
AND YOUR LIGHTS BURNING
/12-36- AND YE YOURSELVES LIKE UNTO MEN THAT WAIT FOR THEIR LORD
WHEN HE WILL RETURN FROM THE WEDDING THAT WHEN HE COMETH AND KNOCKETH
THEY MAY OPEN UNTO HIM IMMEDIATELY.
/12-37- BLESSED ARE THOSE SERVANTS
WHOM THE LORD WHEN HE COMETH SHALL FIND WATCHING- VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT HE SHALL GIRD HIMSELF
AND MAKE THEM TO SIT DOWN TO MEAT
AND WILL COME FORTH AND SERVE THEM.
/12-38- AND IF HE SHALL COME IN THE SECOND WATCH
OR COME IN THE THIRD WATCH
AND FIND THEM SO
BLESSED ARE THOSE SERVANTS.
/12-39- AND THIS KNOW
THAT IF THE GOODMAN OF THE HOUSE HAD KNOWN WHAT HOUR THE THIEF WOULD COME
HE WOULD HAVE WATCHED
AND NOT HAVE SUFFERED HIS HOUSE TO BE BROKEN THROUGH.
/12-40- BE YE THEREFORE READY ALSO- FOR THE SON OF MAN COMETH AT AN HOUR WHEN YE THINK NOT.
/12-41- THEN PETER SAID UNTO HIM
LORD
SPEAKEST THOU THIS PARABLE UNTO US
OR EVEN TO ALL?
/12-42- AND THE LORD SAID
WHO THEN IS THAT FAITHFUL AND WISE STEWARD
WHOM HIS LORD SHALL MAKE RULER OVER HIS HOUSEHOLD
TO GIVE THEM THEIR PORTION OF MEAT IN DUE SEASON?
/12-43- BLESSED IS THAT SERVANT
WHOM HIS LORD WHEN HE COMETH SHALL FIND SO DOING.
/12-44- OF A TRUTH I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT HE WILL MAKE HIM RULER OVER ALL THAT HE HATH.
/12-45- BUT AND IF THAT SERVANT SAY IN HIS HEART
MY LORD DELAYETH HIS COMING AND SHALL BEGIN TO BEAT THE MENSERVANTS AND MAIDENS
AND TO EAT AND DRINK
AND TO BE DRUNKEN
/12-46- THE LORD OF THAT SERVANT WILL COME IN A DAY WHEN HE LOOKETH NOT FOR HIM
AND AT AN HOUR WHEN HE IS NOT AWARE
AND WILL CUT HIM IN SUNDER
AND WILL APPOINT HIM HIS PORTION WITH THE UNBELIEVERS.
/12-47- AND THAT SERVANT
WHICH KNEW HIS LORD'S WILL
AND PREPARED NOT HIMSELF
NEITHER DID ACCORDING TO HIS WILL
SHALL BE BEATEN WITH MANY STRIPES.
/12-48- BUT HE THAT KNEW NOT
AND DID COMMIT THINGS WORTHY OF STRIPES
SHALL BE BEATEN WITH FEW STRIPES. FOR UNTO WHOMSOEVER MUCH IS GIVEN
OF HIM SHALL BE MUCH REQUIRED- AND TO WHOM MEN HAVE COMMITTED MUCH
OF HIM THEY WILL ASK THE MORE.
/12-49- I AM COME TO SEND FIRE ON THE EARTH AND WHAT WILL I
IF IT BE ALREADY KINDLED?
/12-50- BUT I HAVE A BAPTISM TO BE BAPTIZED WITH AND HOW AM I STRAITENED TILL IT BE ACCOMPLISHED!
/12-51- SUPPOSE YE THAT I AM COME TO GIVE PEACE ON EARTH? I TELL YOU
NAY BUT RATHER DIVISION-
/12-52- FOR FROM HENCEFORTH THERE SHALL BE FIVE IN ONE HOUSE DIVIDED
THREE AGAINST TWO
AND TWO AGAINST THREE.
/12-53- THE FATHER SHALL BE DIVIDED AGAINST THE SON
AND THE SON AGAINST THE FATHER THE MOTHER AGAINST THE DAUGHTER
AND THE DAUGHTER AGAINST THE MOTHER THE MOTHER IN LAW AGAINST HER DAUGHTER IN LAW
AND THE DAUGHTER IN LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER IN LAW.
/12-54- AND HE SAID ALSO TO THE PEOPLE
WHEN YE SEE A CLOUD RISE OUT OF THE WEST
STRAIGHTWAY YE SAY
THERE COMETH A SHOWER AND SO IT IS.
/12-55- AND WHEN YE SEE THE SOUTH WIND BLOW
YE SAY
THERE WILL BE HEAT AND IT COMETH TO PASS.
/12-56- YE HYPOCRITES
YE CAN DISCERN THE FACE OF THE SKY AND OF THE EARTH BUT HOW IS IT THAT YE DO NOT DISCERN THIS TIME?
/12-57- YEA
AND WHY EVEN OF YOURSELVES JUDGE YE NOT WHAT IS RIGHT?
/12-58- WHEN THOU GOEST WITH THINE ADVERSARY TO THE MAGISTRATE
AS THOU ART IN THE WAY
GIVE DILIGENCE THAT THOU MAYEST BE DELIVERED FROM HIM LEST HE HALE THEE TO THE JUDGE
AND THE JUDGE DELIVER THEE TO THE OFFICER
AND THE OFFICER CAST THEE INTO PRISON.
/12-59- I TELL THEE
THOU SHALT NOT DEPART THENCE
TILL THOU HAST PAID THE VERY LAST MITE.
/13-1- THERE WERE PRESENT AT THAT SEASON SOME THAT TOLD HIM OF THE GALILAEANS
WHOSE BLOOD PILATE HAD MINGLED WITH THEIR SACRIFICES.
/13-2- AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO THEM
SUPPOSE YE THAT THESE GALILAEANS WERE SINNERS ABOVE ALL THE GALILAEANS
BECAUSE THEY SUFFERED SUCH THINGS?
/13-3- I TELL YOU
NAY- BUT
EXCEPT YE REPENT
YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.
/13-4- OR THOSE EIGHTEEN
UPON WHOM THE TOWER IN SILOAM FELL
AND SLEW THEM
THINK YE THAT THEY WERE SINNERS ABOVE ALL MEN THAT DWELT IN JERUSALEM?
/13-5- I TELL YOU
NAY- BUT
EXCEPT YE REPENT
YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.
/13-6- HE SPAKE ALSO THIS PARABLE A CERTAIN MAN HAD A FIG TREE PLANTED IN HIS VINEYARD AND HE CAME AND SOUGHT FRUIT THEREON
AND FOUND NONE.
/13-7- THEN SAID HE UNTO THE DRESSER OF HIS VINEYARD
BEHOLD
THESE THREE YEARS I COME SEEKING FRUIT ON THIS FIG TREE
AND FIND NONE- CUT IT DOWN WHY CUMBERETH IT THE GROUND?
/13-8- AND HE ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM
LORD
LET IT ALONE THIS YEAR ALSO
TILL I SHALL DIG ABOUT IT
AND DUNG IT-
/13-9- AND IF IT BEAR FRUIT
WELL- AND IF NOT
THEN AFTER THAT THOU SHALT CUT IT DOWN.
/13-10- AND HE WAS TEACHING IN ONE OF THE SYNAGOGUES ON THE SABBATH.
/13-11- AND
BEHOLD
THERE WAS A WOMAN WHICH HAD A SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY EIGHTEEN YEARS
AND WAS BOWED TOGETHER
AND COULD IN NO WISE LIFT UP HERSELF.
/13-12- AND WHEN JESUS SAW HER
HE CALLED HER TO HIM
AND SAID UNTO HER
WOMAN
THOU ART LOOSED FROM THINE INFIRMITY.
/13-13- AND HE LAID HIS HANDS ON HER- AND IMMEDIATELY SHE WAS MADE STRAIGHT
AND GLORIFIED GOD.
/13-14- AND THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE ANSWERED WITH INDIGNATION
BECAUSE THAT JESUS HAD HEALED ON THE SABBATH DAY
AND SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE
THERE ARE SIX DAYS IN WHICH MEN OUGHT TO WORK- IN THEM THEREFORE COME AND BE HEALED
AND NOT ON THE SABBATH DAY.
/13-15- THE LORD THEN ANSWERED HIM
AND SAID
THOU HYPOCRITE
DOTH NOT EACH ONE OF YOU ON THE SABBATH LOOSE HIS OX OR HIS ASS FROM THE STALL
AND LEAD HIM AWAY TO WATERING?
/13-16- AND OUGHT NOT THIS WOMAN
BEING A DAUGHTER OF ABRAHAM
WHOM SATAN HATH BOUND
LO
THESE EIGHTEEN YEARS
BE LOOSED FROM THIS BOND ON THE SABBATH DAY?
/13-17- AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THESE THINGS
ALL HIS ADVERSARIES WERE ASHAMED- AND ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICED FOR ALL THE GLORIOUS THINGS THAT WERE DONE BY HIM.
/13-18- THEN SAID HE
UNTO WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD LIKE? AND WHEREUNTO SHALL I RESEMBLE IT?
/13-19- IT IS LIKE A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED
WHICH A MAN TOOK
AND CAST INTO HIS GARDEN AND IT GREW
AND WAXED A GREAT TREE AND THE FOWLS OF THE AIR LODGED IN THE BRANCHES OF IT.
/13-20- AND AGAIN HE SAID
WHEREUNTO SHALL I LIKEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
/13-21- IT IS LIKE LEAVEN
WHICH A WOMAN TOOK AND HID IN THREE MEASURES OF MEAL
TILL THE WHOLE WAS LEAVENED.
/13-22- AND HE WENT THROUGH THE CITIES AND VILLAGES
TEACHING
AND JOURNEYING TOWARD JERUSALEM.
/13-23- THEN SAID ONE UNTO HIM
LORD
ARE THERE FEW THAT BE SAVED? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
/13-24- STRIVE TO ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE- FOR MANY
I SAY UNTO YOU
WILL SEEK TO ENTER IN
AND SHALL NOT BE ABLE.
/13-25- WHEN ONCE THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE IS RISEN UP
AND HATH SHUT TO THE DOOR
AND YE BEGIN TO STAND WITHOUT
AND TO KNOCK AT THE DOOR
SAYING
LORD
LORD
OPEN UNTO US AND HE SHALL ANSWER AND SAY UNTO YOU
I KNOW YOU NOT WHENCE YE ARE-
/13-26- THEN SHALL YE BEGIN TO SAY
WE HAVE EATEN AND DRUNK IN THY PRESENCE
AND THOU HAST TAUGHT IN OUR STREETS.
/13-27- BUT HE SHALL SAY
I TELL YOU
I KNOW YOU NOT WHENCE YE ARE DEPART FROM ME
ALL YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY.
/13-28- THERE SHALL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH
WHEN YE SHALL SEE ABRAHAM
AND ISAAC
AND JACOB
AND ALL THE PROPHETS
IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD
AND YOU YOURSELVES THRUST OUT.
/13-29- AND THEY SHALL COME FROM THE EAST
AND FROM THE WEST
AND FROM THE NORTH
AND FROM THE SOUTH
AND SHALL SIT DOWN IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/13-30- AND
BEHOLD
THERE ARE LAST WHICH SHALL BE FIRST
AND THERE ARE FIRST WHICH SHALL BE LAST.
/13-31- THE SAME DAY THERE CAME CERTAIN OF THE PHARISEES
SAYING UNTO HIM
GET THEE OUT
AND DEPART HENCE- FOR HEROD WILL KILL THEE.
/13-32- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
GO YE
AND TELL THAT FOX
BEHOLD
I CAST OUT DEVILS
AND I DO CURES TO DAY AND TO MORROW
AND THE THIRD DAY I SHALL BE PERFECTED.
/13-33- NEVERTHELESS I MUST WALK TO DAY
AND TO MORROW
AND THE DAY FOLLOWING- FOR IT CANNOT BE THAT A PROPHET PERISH OUT OF JERUSALEM.
/13-34- O JERUSALEM
JERUSALEM
WHICH KILLEST THE PROPHETS
AND STONEST THEM THAT ARE SENT UNTO THEE HOW OFTEN WOULD I HAVE GATHERED THY CHILDREN TOGETHER
AS A HEN DOTH GATHER HER BROOD UNDER HER WINGS
AND YE WOULD NOT!
/13-35- BEHOLD
YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE- AND VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU
YE SHALL NOT SEE ME
UNTIL THE TIME COME WHEN YE SHALL SAY
BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
/14-1- AND IT CAME TO PASS
AS HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF ONE OF THE CHIEF PHARISEES TO EAT BREAD ON THE SABBATH DAY
THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.
/14-2- AND
BEHOLD
THERE WAS A CERTAIN MAN BEFORE HIM WHICH HAD THE DROPSY.
/14-3- AND JESUS ANSWERING SPAKE UNTO THE LAWYERS AND PHARISEES
SAYING
IS IT LAWFUL TO HEAL ON THE SABBATH DAY?
/14-4- AND THEY HELD THEIR PEACE. AND HE TOOK HIM
AND HEALED HIM
AND LET HIM GO
/14-5- AND ANSWERED THEM
SAYING
WHICH OF YOU SHALL HAVE AN ASS OR AN OX FALLEN INTO A PIT
AND WILL NOT STRAIGHTWAY PULL HIM OUT ON THE SABBATH DAY?
/14-6- AND THEY COULD NOT ANSWER HIM AGAIN TO THESE THINGS.
/14-7- AND HE PUT FORTH A PARABLE TO THOSE WHICH WERE BIDDEN
WHEN HE MARKED HOW THEY CHOSE OUT THE CHIEF ROOMS SAYING UNTO THEM
/14-8- WHEN THOU ART BIDDEN OF ANY MAN TO A WEDDING
SIT NOT DOWN IN THE HIGHEST ROOM LEST A MORE HONOURABLE MAN THAN THOU BE BIDDEN OF HIM
/14-9- AND HE THAT BADE THEE AND HIM COME AND SAY TO THEE
GIVE THIS MAN PLACE AND THOU BEGIN WITH SHAME TO TAKE THE LOWEST ROOM.
/14-10- BUT WHEN THOU ART BIDDEN
GO AND SIT DOWN IN THE LOWEST ROOM THAT WHEN HE THAT BADE THEE COMETH
HE MAY SAY UNTO THEE
FRIEND
GO UP HIGHER- THEN SHALT THOU HAVE WORSHIP IN THE PRESENCE OF THEM THAT SIT AT MEAT WITH THEE.
/14-11- FOR WHOSOEVER EXALTETH HIMSELF SHALL BE ABASED AND HE THAT HUMBLETH HIMSELF SHALL BE EXALTED.
/14-12- THEN SAID HE ALSO TO HIM THAT BADE HIM
WHEN THOU MAKEST A DINNER OR A SUPPER
CALL NOT THY FRIENDS
NOR THY BRETHREN
NEITHER THY KINSMEN
NOR THY RICH NEIGHBOURS LEST THEY ALSO BID THEE AGAIN
AND A RECOMPENCE BE MADE THEE.
/14-13- BUT WHEN THOU MAKEST A FEAST
CALL THE POOR
THE MAIMED
THE LAME
THE BLIND-
/14-14- AND THOU SHALT BE BLESSED FOR THEY CANNOT RECOMPENSE THEE- FOR THOU SHALT BE RECOMPENSED AT THE RESURRECTION OF THE JUST.
/14-15- AND WHEN ONE OF THEM THAT SAT AT MEAT WITH HIM HEARD THESE THINGS
HE SAID UNTO HIM
BLESSED IS HE THAT SHALL EAT BREAD IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/14-16- THEN SAID HE UNTO HIM
A CERTAIN MAN MADE A GREAT SUPPER
AND BADE MANY-
/14-17- AND SENT HIS SERVANT AT SUPPER TIME TO SAY TO THEM THAT WERE BIDDEN
COME FOR ALL THINGS ARE NOW READY.
/14-18- AND THEY ALL WITH ONE CONSENT BEGAN TO MAKE EXCUSE. THE FIRST SAID UNTO HIM
I HAVE BOUGHT A PIECE OF GROUND
AND I MUST NEEDS GO AND SEE IT- I PRAY THEE HAVE ME EXCUSED.
/14-19- AND ANOTHER SAID
I HAVE BOUGHT FIVE YOKE OF OXEN
AND I GO TO PROVE THEM- I PRAY THEE HAVE ME EXCUSED.
/14-20- AND ANOTHER SAID
I HAVE MARRIED A WIFE
AND THEREFORE I CANNOT COME.
/14-21- SO THAT SERVANT CAME
AND SHEWED HIS LORD THESE THINGS. THEN THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE BEING ANGRY SAID TO HIS SERVANT
GO OUT QUICKLY INTO THE STREETS AND LANES OF THE CITY
AND BRING IN HITHER THE POOR
AND THE MAIMED
AND THE HALT
AND THE BLIND.
/14-22- AND THE SERVANT SAID
LORD
IT IS DONE AS THOU HAST COMMANDED
AND YET THERE IS ROOM.
/14-23- AND THE LORD SAID UNTO THE SERVANT
GO OUT INTO THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES
AND COMPEL THEM TO COME IN
THAT MY HOUSE MAY BE FILLED.
/14-24- FOR I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT NONE OF THOSE MEN WHICH WERE BIDDEN SHALL TASTE OF MY SUPPER.
/14-25- AND THERE WENT GREAT MULTITUDES WITH HIM- AND HE TURNED
AND SAID UNTO THEM
/14-26- IF ANY MAN COME TO ME
AND HATE NOT HIS FATHER
AND MOTHER
AND WIFE
AND CHILDREN
AND BRETHREN
AND SISTERS
YEA
AND HIS OWN LIFE ALSO
HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
/14-27- AND WHOSOEVER DOTH NOT BEAR HIS CROSS
AND COME AFTER ME
CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
/14-28- FOR WHICH OF YOU
INTENDING TO BUILD A TOWER
SITTETH NOT DOWN FIRST
AND COUNTETH THE COST
WHETHER HE HAVE SUFFICIENT TO FINISH IT?
/14-29- LEST HAPLY
AFTER HE HATH LAID THE FOUNDATION
AND IS NOT ABLE TO FINISH IT
ALL THAT BEHOLD IT BEGIN TO MOCK HIM
/14-30- SAYING
THIS MAN BEGAN TO BUILD
AND WAS NOT ABLE TO FINISH.
/14-31- OR WHAT KING
GOING TO MAKE WAR AGAINST ANOTHER KING
SITTETH NOT DOWN FIRST
AND CONSULTETH WHETHER HE BE ABLE WITH TEN THOUSAND TO MEET HIM THAT COMETH AGAINST HIM WITH TWENTY THOUSAND?
/14-32- OR ELSE
WHILE THE OTHER IS YET A GREAT WAY OFF
HE SENDETH AN AMBASSAGE
AND DESIRETH CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
/14-33- SO LIKEWISE
WHOSOEVER HE BE OF YOU THAT FORSAKETH NOT ALL THAT HE HATH
HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
/14-34- SALT IS GOOD- BUT IF THE SALT HAVE LOST HIS SAVOUR
WHEREWITH SHALL IT BE SEASONED?
/14-35- IT IS NEITHER FIT FOR THE LAND
NOR YET FOR THE DUNGHILL BUT MEN CAST IT OUT. HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR
LET HIM HEAR.
/15-1- THEN DREW NEAR UNTO HIM ALL THE PUBLICANS AND SINNERS FOR TO HEAR HIM.
/15-2- AND THE PHARISEES AND SCRIBES MURMURED
SAYING
THIS MAN RECEIVETH SINNERS
AND EATETH WITH THEM.
/15-3- AND HE SPAKE THIS PARABLE UNTO THEM
SAYING
/15-4- WHAT MAN OF YOU
HAVING AN HUNDRED SHEEP
IF HE LOSE ONE OF THEM
DOTH NOT LEAVE THE NINETY AND NINE IN THE WILDERNESS
AND GO AFTER THAT WHICH IS LOST
UNTIL HE FIND IT?
/15-5- AND WHEN HE HATH FOUND IT
HE LAYETH IT ON HIS SHOULDERS
REJOICING.
/15-6- AND WHEN HE COMETH HOME
HE CALLETH TOGETHER HIS FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS
SAYING UNTO THEM
REJOICE WITH ME FOR I HAVE FOUND MY SHEEP WHICH WAS LOST.
/15-7- I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT LIKEWISE JOY SHALL BE IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH
MORE THAN OVER NINETY AND NINE JUST PERSONS
WHICH NEED NO REPENTANCE.
/15-8- EITHER WHAT WOMAN HAVING TEN PIECES OF SILVER
IF SHE LOSE ONE PIECE
DOTH NOT LIGHT A CANDLE
AND SWEEP THE HOUSE
AND SEEK DILIGENTLY TILL SHE FIND IT?
/15-9- AND WHEN SHE HATH FOUND IT
SHE CALLETH HER FRIENDS AND HER NEIGHBOURS TOGETHER
SAYING
REJOICE WITH ME FOR I HAVE FOUND THE PIECE WHICH I HAD LOST.
/15-10- LIKEWISE
I SAY UNTO YOU
THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.
/15-11- AND HE SAID
A CERTAIN MAN HAD TWO SONS-
/15-12- AND THE YOUNGER OF THEM SAID TO HIS FATHER
FATHER
GIVE ME THE PORTION OF GOODS THAT FALLETH TO ME. AND HE DIVIDED UNTO THEM HIS LIVING.
/15-13- AND NOT MANY DAYS AFTER THE YOUNGER SON GATHERED ALL TOGETHER
AND TOOK HIS JOURNEY INTO A FAR COUNTRY
AND THERE WASTED HIS SUBSTANCE WITH RIOTOUS LIVING.
/15-14- AND WHEN HE HAD SPENT ALL
THERE AROSE A MIGHTY FAMINE IN THAT LAND AND HE BEGAN TO BE IN WANT.
/15-15- AND HE WENT AND JOINED HIMSELF TO A CITIZEN OF THAT COUNTRY AND HE SENT HIM INTO HIS FIELDS TO FEED SWINE.
/15-16- AND HE WOULD FAIN HAVE FILLED HIS BELLY WITH THE HUSKS THAT THE SWINE DID EAT- AND NO MAN GAVE UNTO HIM.
/15-17- AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF
HE SAID
HOW MANY HIRED SERVANTS OF MY FATHER'S HAVE BREAD ENOUGH AND TO SPARE
AND I PERISH WITH HUNGER!
/15-18- I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER
AND WILL SAY UNTO HIM
FATHER
I HAVE SINNED AGAINST HEAVEN
AND BEFORE THEE
/15-19- AND AM NO MORE WORTHY TO BE CALLED THY SON- MAKE ME AS ONE OF THY HIRED SERVANTS.
/15-20- AND HE AROSE
AND CAME TO HIS FATHER. BUT WHEN HE WAS YET A GREAT WAY OFF
HIS FATHER SAW HIM
AND HAD COMPASSION
AND RAN
AND FELL ON HIS NECK
AND KISSED HIM.
/15-21- AND THE SON SAID UNTO HIM
FATHER
I HAVE SINNED AGAINST HEAVEN
AND IN THY SIGHT
AND AM NO MORE WORTHY TO BE CALLED THY SON.
/15-22- BUT THE FATHER SAID TO HIS SERVANTS
BRING FORTH THE BEST ROBE
AND PUT IT ON HIM AND PUT A RING ON HIS HAND
AND SHOES ON HIS FEET-
/15-23- AND BRING HITHER THE FATTED CALF
AND KILL IT AND LET US EAT
AND BE MERRY-
/15-24- FOR THIS MY SON WAS DEAD
AND IS ALIVE AGAIN HE WAS LOST
AND IS FOUND. AND THEY BEGAN TO BE MERRY.
/15-25- NOW HIS ELDER SON WAS IN THE FIELD- AND AS HE CAME AND DREW NIGH TO THE HOUSE
HE HEARD MUSICK AND DANCING.
/15-26- AND HE CALLED ONE OF THE SERVANTS
AND ASKED WHAT THESE THINGS MEANT.
/15-27- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
THY BROTHER IS COME AND THY FATHER HATH KILLED THE FATTED CALF
BECAUSE HE HATH RECEIVED HIM SAFE AND SOUND.
/15-28- AND HE WAS ANGRY
AND WOULD NOT GO IN- THEREFORE CAME HIS FATHER OUT
AND INTREATED HIM.
/15-29- AND HE ANSWERING SAID TO HIS FATHER
LO
THESE MANY YEARS DO I SERVE THEE
NEITHER TRANSGRESSED I AT ANY TIME THY COMMANDMENT- AND YET THOU NEVER GAVEST ME A KID
THAT I MIGHT MAKE MERRY WITH MY FRIENDS-
/15-30- BUT AS SOON AS THIS THY SON WAS COME
WHICH HATH DEVOURED THY LIVING WITH HARLOTS
THOU HAST KILLED FOR HIM THE FATTED CALF.
/15-31- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
SON
THOU ART EVER WITH ME
AND ALL THAT I HAVE IS THINE.
/15-32- IT WAS MEET THAT WE SHOULD MAKE MERRY
AND BE GLAD- FOR THIS THY BROTHER WAS DEAD
AND IS ALIVE AGAIN AND WAS LOST
AND IS FOUND.
/16-1- AND HE SAID ALSO UNTO HIS DISCIPLES
THERE WAS A CERTAIN RICH MAN
WHICH HAD A STEWARD AND THE SAME WAS ACCUSED UNTO HIM THAT HE HAD WASTED HIS GOODS.
/16-2- AND HE CALLED HIM
AND SAID UNTO HIM
HOW IS IT THAT I HEAR THIS OF THEE? GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THY STEWARDSHIP FOR THOU MAYEST BE NO LONGER STEWARD.
/16-3- THEN THE STEWARD SAID WITHIN HIMSELF
WHAT SHALL I DO? FOR MY LORD TAKETH AWAY FROM ME THE STEWARDSHIP- I CANNOT DIG TO BEG I AM ASHAMED.
/16-4- I AM RESOLVED WHAT TO DO
THAT
WHEN I AM PUT OUT OF THE STEWARDSHIP
THEY MAY RECEIVE ME INTO THEIR HOUSES.
/16-5- SO HE CALLED EVERY ONE OF HIS LORD'S DEBTORS UNTO HIM
AND SAID UNTO THE FIRST
HOW MUCH OWEST THOU UNTO MY LORD?
/16-6- AND HE SAID
AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF OIL. AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
TAKE THY BILL
AND SIT DOWN QUICKLY
AND WRITE FIFTY.
/16-7- THEN SAID HE TO ANOTHER
AND HOW MUCH OWEST THOU? AND HE SAID
AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF WHEAT. AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
TAKE THY BILL
AND WRITE FOURSCORE.
/16-8- AND THE LORD COMMENDED THE UNJUST STEWARD
BECAUSE HE HAD DONE WISELY- FOR THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD ARE IN THEIR GENERATION WISER THAN THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT.
/16-9- AND I SAY UNTO YOU
MAKE TO YOURSELVES FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS THAT
WHEN YE FAIL
THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU INTO EVERLASTING HABITATIONS.
/16-10- HE THAT IS FAITHFUL IN THAT WHICH IS LEAST IS FAITHFUL ALSO IN MUCH- AND HE THAT IS UNJUST IN THE LEAST IS UNJUST ALSO IN MUCH.
/16-11- IF THEREFORE YE HAVE NOT BEEN FAITHFUL IN THE UNRIGHTEOUS MAMMON
WHO WILL COMMIT TO YOUR TRUST THE TRUE RICHES?
/16-12- AND IF YE HAVE NOT BEEN FAITHFUL IN THAT WHICH IS ANOTHER MAN'S
WHO SHALL GIVE YOU THAT WHICH IS YOUR OWN?
/16-13- NO SERVANT CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS- FOR EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE
AND LOVE THE OTHER OR ELSE HE WILL HOLD TO THE ONE
AND DESPISE THE OTHER. YE CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON.
/16-14- AND THE PHARISEES ALSO
WHO WERE COVETOUS
HEARD ALL THESE THINGS- AND THEY DERIDED HIM.
/16-15- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
YE ARE THEY WHICH JUSTIFY YOURSELVES BEFORE MEN BUT GOD KNOWETH YOUR HEARTS- FOR THAT WHICH IS HIGHLY ESTEEMED AMONG MEN IS ABOMINATION IN THE SIGHT OF GOD.
/16-16- THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN- SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED
AND EVERY MAN PRESSETH INTO IT.
/16-17- AND IT IS EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO PASS
THAN ONE TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL.
/16-18- WHOSOEVER PUTTETH AWAY HIS WIFE
AND MARRIETH ANOTHER
COMMITTETH ADULTERY- AND WHOSOEVER MARRIETH HER THAT IS PUT AWAY FROM HER HUSBAND COMMITTETH ADULTERY.
/16-19- THERE WAS A CERTAIN RICH MAN
WHICH WAS CLOTHED IN PURPLE AND FINE LINEN
AND FARED SUMPTUOUSLY EVERY DAY-
/16-20- AND THERE WAS A CERTAIN BEGGAR NAMED LAZARUS
WHICH WAS LAID AT HIS GATE
FULL OF SORES
/16-21- AND DESIRING TO BE FED WITH THE CRUMBS WHICH FELL FROM THE RICH MAN'S TABLE- MOREOVER THE DOGS CAME AND LICKED HIS SORES.
/16-22- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT THE BEGGAR DIED
AND WAS CARRIED BY THE ANGELS INTO ABRAHAM'S BOSOM- THE RICH MAN ALSO DIED
AND WAS BURIED
/16-23- AND IN HELL HE LIFT UP HIS EYES
BEING IN TORMENTS
AND SEETH ABRAHAM AFAR OFF
AND LAZARUS IN HIS BOSOM.
/16-24- AND HE CRIED AND SAID
FATHER ABRAHAM
HAVE MERCY ON ME
AND SEND LAZARUS
THAT HE MAY DIP THE TIP OF HIS FINGER IN WATER
AND COOL MY TONGUE FOR I AM TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME.
/16-25- BUT ABRAHAM SAID
SON
REMEMBER THAT THOU IN THY LIFETIME RECEIVEDST THY GOOD THINGS
AND LIKEWISE LAZARUS EVIL THINGS- BUT NOW HE IS COMFORTED
AND THOU ART TORMENTED.
/16-26- AND BESIDE ALL THIS
BETWEEN US AND YOU THERE IS A GREAT GULF FIXED- SO THAT THEY WHICH WOULD PASS FROM HENCE TO YOU CANNOT NEITHER CAN THEY PASS TO US
THAT WOULD COME FROM THENCE.
/16-27- THEN HE SAID
I PRAY THEE THEREFORE
FATHER
THAT THOU WOULDEST SEND HIM TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE-
/16-28- FOR I HAVE FIVE BRETHREN THAT HE MAY TESTIFY UNTO THEM
LEST THEY ALSO COME INTO THIS PLACE OF TORMENT.
/16-29- ABRAHAM SAITH UNTO HIM
THEY HAVE MOSES AND THE PROPHETS LET THEM HEAR THEM.
/16-30- AND HE SAID
NAY
FATHER ABRAHAM- BUT IF ONE WENT UNTO THEM FROM THE DEAD
THEY WILL REPENT.
/16-31- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
IF THEY HEAR NOT MOSES AND THE PROPHETS
NEITHER WILL THEY BE PERSUADED
THOUGH ONE ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
/17-1- THEN SAID HE UNTO THE DISCIPLES
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT THAT OFFENCES WILL COME- BUT WOE UNTO HIM
THROUGH WHOM THEY COME!
/17-2- IT WERE BETTER FOR HIM THAT A MILLSTONE WERE HANGED ABOUT HIS NECK
AND HE CAST INTO THE SEA
THAN THAT HE SHOULD OFFEND ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES.
/17-3- TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES- IF THY BROTHER TRESPASS AGAINST THEE
REBUKE HIM AND IF HE REPENT
FORGIVE HIM.
/17-4- AND IF HE TRESPASS AGAINST THEE SEVEN TIMES IN A DAY
AND SEVEN TIMES IN A DAY TURN AGAIN TO THEE
SAYING
I REPENT THOU SHALT FORGIVE HIM.
/17-5- AND THE APOSTLES SAID UNTO THE LORD
INCREASE OUR FAITH.
/17-6- AND THE LORD SAID
IF YE HAD FAITH AS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED
YE MIGHT SAY UNTO THIS SYCAMINE TREE
BE THOU PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOT
AND BE THOU PLANTED IN THE SEA AND IT SHOULD OBEY YOU.
/17-7- BUT WHICH OF YOU
HAVING A SERVANT PLOWING OR FEEDING CATTLE
WILL SAY UNTO HIM BY AND BY
WHEN HE IS COME FROM THE FIELD
GO AND SIT DOWN TO MEAT?
/17-8- AND WILL NOT RATHER SAY UNTO HIM
MAKE READY WHEREWITH I MAY SUP
AND GIRD THYSELF
AND SERVE ME
TILL I HAVE EATEN AND DRUNKEN AND AFTERWARD THOU SHALT EAT AND DRINK?
/17-9- DOTH HE THANK THAT SERVANT BECAUSE HE DID THE THINGS THAT WERE COMMANDED HIM? I TROW NOT.
/17-10- SO LIKEWISE YE
WHEN YE SHALL HAVE DONE ALL THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE COMMANDED YOU
SAY
WE ARE UNPROFITABLE SERVANTS- WE HAVE DONE THAT WHICH WAS OUR DUTY TO DO.
/17-11- AND IT CAME TO PASS
AS HE WENT TO JERUSALEM
THAT HE PASSED THROUGH THE MIDST OF SAMARIA AND GALILEE.
/17-12- AND AS HE ENTERED INTO A CERTAIN VILLAGE
THERE MET HIM TEN MEN THAT WERE LEPERS
WHICH STOOD AFAR OFF-
/17-13- AND THEY LIFTED UP THEIR VOICES
AND SAID
JESUS
MASTER
HAVE MERCY ON US.
/17-14- AND WHEN HE SAW THEM
HE SAID UNTO THEM
GO SHEW YOURSELVES UNTO THE PRIESTS. AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT
AS THEY WENT
THEY WERE CLEANSED.
/17-15- AND ONE OF THEM
WHEN HE SAW THAT HE WAS HEALED
TURNED BACK
AND WITH A LOUD VOICE GLORIFIED GOD
/17-16- AND FELL DOWN ON HIS FACE AT HIS FEET
GIVING HIM THANKS- AND HE WAS A SAMARITAN.
/17-17- AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID
WERE THERE NOT TEN CLEANSED? BUT WHERE ARE THE NINE?
/17-18- THERE ARE NOT FOUND THAT RETURNED TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD
SAVE THIS STRANGER.
/17-19- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
ARISE
GO THY WAY- THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE.
/17-20- AND WHEN HE WAS DEMANDED OF THE PHARISEES
WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHOULD COME
HE ANSWERED THEM AND SAID
THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMETH NOT WITH OBSERVATION-
/17-21- NEITHER SHALL THEY SAY
LO HERE! OR
LO THERE! FOR
BEHOLD
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.
/17-22- AND HE SAID UNTO THE DISCIPLES
THE DAYS WILL COME
WHEN YE SHALL DESIRE TO SEE ONE OF THE DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN
AND YE SHALL NOT SEE IT.
/17-23- AND THEY SHALL SAY TO YOU
SEE HERE OR
SEE THERE- GO NOT AFTER THEM
NOR FOLLOW THEM.
/17-24- FOR AS THE LIGHTNING
THAT LIGHTENETH OUT OF THE ONE PART UNDER HEAVEN
SHINETH UNTO THE OTHER PART UNDER HEAVEN SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE IN HIS DAY.
/17-25- BUT FIRST MUST HE SUFFER MANY THINGS
AND BE REJECTED OF THIS GENERATION.
/17-26- AND AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOE
SO SHALL IT BE ALSO IN THE DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN.
/17-27- THEY DID EAT
THEY DRANK
THEY MARRIED WIVES
THEY WERE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE
UNTIL THE DAY THAT NOE ENTERED INTO THE ARK
AND THE FLOOD CAME
AND DESTROYED THEM ALL.
/17-28- LIKEWISE ALSO AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF LOT THEY DID EAT
THEY DRANK
THEY BOUGHT
THEY SOLD
THEY PLANTED
THEY BUILDED
/17-29- BUT THE SAME DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FROM HEAVEN
AND DESTROYED THEM ALL.
/17-30- EVEN THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED.
/17-31- IN THAT DAY
HE WHICH SHALL BE UPON THE HOUSETOP
AND HIS STUFF IN THE HOUSE
LET HIM NOT COME DOWN TO TAKE IT AWAY- AND HE THAT IS IN THE FIELD
LET HIM LIKEWISE NOT RETURN BACK.
/17-32- REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE.
/17-33- WHOSOEVER SHALL SEEK TO SAVE HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT AND WHOSOEVER SHALL LOSE HIS LIFE SHALL PRESERVE IT.
/17-34- I TELL YOU
IN THAT NIGHT THERE SHALL BE TWO MEN IN ONE BED THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN
AND THE OTHER SHALL BE LEFT.
/17-35- TWO WOMEN SHALL BE GRINDING TOGETHER THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN
AND THE OTHER LEFT.
/17-36- TWO MEN SHALL BE IN THE FIELD THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN
AND THE OTHER LEFT.
/17-37- AND THEY ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM
WHERE
LORD? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WHERESOEVER THE BODY IS
THITHER WILL THE EAGLES BE GATHERED TOGETHER.
/18-1- AND HE SPAKE A PARABLE UNTO THEM TO THIS END
THAT MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY
AND NOT TO FAINT
/18-2- SAYING
THERE WAS IN A CITY A JUDGE
WHICH FEARED NOT GOD
NEITHER REGARDED MAN-
/18-3- AND THERE WAS A WIDOW IN THAT CITY AND SHE CAME UNTO HIM
SAYING
AVENGE ME OF MINE ADVERSARY.
/18-4- AND HE WOULD NOT FOR A WHILE- BUT AFTERWARD HE SAID WITHIN HIMSELF
THOUGH I FEAR NOT GOD
NOR REGARD MAN
/18-5- YET BECAUSE THIS WIDOW TROUBLETH ME
I WILL AVENGE HER
LEST BY HER CONTINUAL COMING SHE WEARY ME.
/18-6- AND THE LORD SAID
HEAR WHAT THE UNJUST JUDGE SAITH.
/18-7- AND SHALL NOT GOD AVENGE HIS OWN ELECT
WHICH CRY DAY AND NIGHT UNTO HIM
THOUGH HE BEAR LONG WITH THEM?
/18-8- I TELL YOU THAT HE WILL AVENGE THEM SPEEDILY. NEVERTHELESS WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMETH
SHALL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?
/18-9- AND HE SPAKE THIS PARABLE UNTO CERTAIN WHICH TRUSTED IN THEMSELVES THAT THEY WERE RIGHTEOUS
AND DESPISED OTHERS-
/18-10- TWO MEN WENT UP INTO THE TEMPLE TO PRAY THE ONE A PHARISEE
AND THE OTHER A PUBLICAN.
/18-11- THE PHARISEE STOOD AND PRAYED THUS WITH HIMSELF
GOD
I THANK THEE
THAT I AM NOT AS OTHER MEN ARE
EXTORTIONERS
UNJUST
ADULTERERS
OR EVEN AS THIS PUBLICAN.
/18-12- I FAST TWICE IN THE WEEK
I GIVE TITHES OF ALL THAT I POSSESS.
/18-13- AND THE PUBLICAN
STANDING AFAR OFF
WOULD NOT LIFT UP SO MUCH AS HIS EYES UNTO HEAVEN
BUT SMOTE UPON HIS BREAST
SAYING
GOD BE MERCIFUL TO ME A SINNER.
/18-14- I TELL YOU
THIS MAN WENT DOWN TO HIS HOUSE JUSTIFIED RATHER THAN THE OTHER- FOR EVERY ONE THAT EXALTETH HIMSELF SHALL BE ABASED AND HE THAT HUMBLETH HIMSELF SHALL BE EXALTED.
/18-15- AND THEY BROUGHT UNTO HIM ALSO INFANTS
THAT HE WOULD TOUCH THEM- BUT WHEN HIS DISCIPLES SAW IT
THEY REBUKED THEM.
/18-16- BUT JESUS CALLED THEM UNTO HIM
AND SAID
SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN TO COME UNTO ME
AND FORBID THEM NOT- FOR OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/18-17- VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU
WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS A LITTLE CHILD SHALL IN NO WISE ENTER THEREIN.
/18-18- AND A CERTAIN RULER ASKED HIM
SAYING
GOOD MASTER
WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?
/18-19- AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
WHY CALLEST THOU ME GOOD? NONE IS GOOD
SAVE ONE
THAT IS
GOD.
/18-20- THOU KNOWEST THE COMMANDMENTS
DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY
DO NOT KILL
DO NOT STEAL
DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS
HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER.
/18-21- AND HE SAID
ALL THESE HAVE I KEPT FROM MY YOUTH UP.
/18-22- NOW WHEN JESUS HEARD THESE THINGS
HE SAID UNTO HIM
YET LACKEST THOU ONE THING- SELL ALL THAT THOU HAST
AND DISTRIBUTE UNTO THE POOR
AND THOU SHALT HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN- AND COME
FOLLOW ME.
/18-23- AND WHEN HE HEARD THIS
HE WAS VERY SORROWFUL- FOR HE WAS VERY RICH.
/18-24- AND WHEN JESUS SAW THAT HE WAS VERY SORROWFUL
HE SAID
HOW HARDLY SHALL THEY THAT HAVE RICHES ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD!
/18-25- FOR IT IS EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH A NEEDLE'S EYE
THAN FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/18-26- AND THEY THAT HEARD IT SAID
WHO THEN CAN BE SAVED?
/18-27- AND HE SAID
THE THINGS WHICH ARE IMPOSSIBLE WITH MEN ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD.
/18-28- THEN PETER SAID
LO
WE HAVE LEFT ALL
AND FOLLOWED THEE.
/18-29- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU
THERE IS NO MAN THAT HATH LEFT HOUSE
OR PARENTS
OR BRETHREN
OR WIFE
OR CHILDREN
FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD'S SAKE
/18-30- WHO SHALL NOT RECEIVE MANIFOLD MORE IN THIS PRESENT TIME
AND IN THE WORLD TO COME LIFE EVERLASTING.
/18-31- THEN HE TOOK UNTO HIM THE TWELVE
AND SAID UNTO THEM
BEHOLD
WE GO UP TO JERUSALEM
AND ALL THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN BY THE PROPHETS CONCERNING THE SON OF MAN SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED.
/18-32- FOR HE SHALL BE DELIVERED UNTO THE GENTILES
AND SHALL BE MOCKED
AND SPITEFULLY ENTREATED
AND SPITTED ON-
/18-33- AND THEY SHALL SCOURGE HIM
AND PUT HIM TO DEATH- AND THE THIRD DAY HE SHALL RISE AGAIN.
/18-34- AND THEY UNDERSTOOD NONE OF THESE THINGS- AND THIS SAYING WAS HID FROM THEM
NEITHER KNEW THEY THE THINGS WHICH WERE SPOKEN.
/18-35- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT AS HE WAS COME NIGH UNTO JERICHO
A CERTAIN BLIND MAN SAT BY THE WAY SIDE BEGGING-
/18-36- AND HEARING THE MULTITUDE PASS BY
HE ASKED WHAT IT MEANT.
/18-37- AND THEY TOLD HIM
THAT JESUS OF NAZARETH PASSETH BY.
/18-38- AND HE CRIED
SAYING
JESUS
THOU SON OF DAVID
HAVE MERCY ON ME.
/18-39- AND THEY WHICH WENT BEFORE REBUKED HIM
THAT HE SHOULD HOLD HIS PEACE- BUT HE CRIED SO MUCH THE MORE
THOU SON OF DAVID
HAVE MERCY ON ME.
/18-40- AND JESUS STOOD
AND COMMANDED HIM TO BE BROUGHT UNTO HIM- AND WHEN HE WAS COME NEAR
HE ASKED HIM
/18-41- SAYING
WHAT WILT THOU THAT I SHALL DO UNTO THEE? AND HE SAID
LORD
THAT I MAY RECEIVE MY SIGHT.
/18-42- AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
RECEIVE THY SIGHT- THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE.
/18-43- AND IMMEDIATELY HE RECEIVED HIS SIGHT
AND FOLLOWED HIM
GLORIFYING GOD- AND ALL THE PEOPLE
WHEN THEY SAW IT
GAVE PRAISE UNTO GOD.
/19-1- AND JESUS ENTERED AND PASSED THROUGH JERICHO.
/19-2- AND
BEHOLD
THERE WAS A MAN NAMED ZACCHAEUS
WHICH WAS THE CHIEF AMONG THE PUBLICANS
AND HE WAS RICH.
/19-3- AND HE SOUGHT TO SEE JESUS WHO HE WAS AND COULD NOT FOR THE PRESS
BECAUSE HE WAS LITTLE OF STATURE.
/19-4- AND HE RAN BEFORE
AND CLIMBED UP INTO A SYCOMORE TREE TO SEE HIM- FOR HE WAS TO PASS THAT WAY.
/19-5- AND WHEN JESUS CAME TO THE PLACE
HE LOOKED UP
AND SAW HIM
AND SAID UNTO HIM
ZACCHAEUS
MAKE HASTE
AND COME DOWN FOR TO DAY I MUST ABIDE AT THY HOUSE.
/19-6- AND HE MADE HASTE
AND CAME DOWN
AND RECEIVED HIM JOYFULLY.
/19-7- AND WHEN THEY SAW IT
THEY ALL MURMURED
SAYING
THAT HE WAS GONE TO BE GUEST WITH A MAN THAT IS A SINNER.
/19-8- AND ZACCHAEUS STOOD
AND SAID UNTO THE LORD BEHOLD
LORD
THE HALF OF MY GOODS I GIVE TO THE POOR AND IF I HAVE TAKEN ANY THING FROM ANY MAN BY FALSE ACCUSATION
I RESTORE HIM FOURFOLD.
/19-9- AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
THIS DAY IS SALVATION COME TO THIS HOUSE
FORSOMUCH AS HE ALSO IS A SON OF ABRAHAM.
/19-10- FOR THE SON OF MAN IS COME TO SEEK AND TO SAVE THAT WHICH WAS LOST.
/19-11- AND AS THEY HEARD THESE THINGS
HE ADDED AND SPAKE A PARABLE
BECAUSE HE WAS NIGH TO JERUSALEM
AND BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHOULD IMMEDIATELY APPEAR.
/19-12- HE SAID THEREFORE
A CERTAIN NOBLEMAN WENT INTO A FAR COUNTRY TO RECEIVE FOR HIMSELF A KINGDOM
AND TO RETURN.
/19-13- AND HE CALLED HIS TEN SERVANTS
AND DELIVERED THEM TEN POUNDS
AND SAID UNTO THEM
OCCUPY TILL I COME.
/19-14- BUT HIS CITIZENS HATED HIM
AND SENT A MESSAGE AFTER HIM
SAYING
WE WILL NOT HAVE THIS MAN TO REIGN OVER US.
/19-15- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT WHEN HE WAS RETURNED
HAVING RECEIVED THE KINGDOM
THEN HE COMMANDED THESE SERVANTS TO BE CALLED UNTO HIM
TO WHOM HE HAD GIVEN THE MONEY
THAT HE MIGHT KNOW HOW MUCH EVERY MAN HAD GAINED BY TRADING.
/19-16- THEN CAME THE FIRST
SAYING
LORD
THY POUND HATH GAINED TEN POUNDS.
/19-17- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
WELL
THOU GOOD SERVANT- BECAUSE THOU HAST BEEN FAITHFUL IN A VERY LITTLE
HAVE THOU AUTHORITY OVER TEN CITIES.
/19-18- AND THE SECOND CAME
SAYING
LORD
THY POUND HATH GAINED FIVE POUNDS.
/19-19- AND HE SAID LIKEWISE TO HIM
BE THOU ALSO OVER FIVE CITIES.
/19-20- AND ANOTHER CAME
SAYING
LORD
BEHOLD
HERE IS THY POUND
WHICH I HAVE KEPT LAID UP IN A NAPKIN-
/19-21- FOR I FEARED THEE
BECAUSE THOU ART AN AUSTERE MAN- THOU TAKEST UP THAT THOU LAYEDST NOT DOWN
AND REAPEST THAT THOU DIDST NOT SOW.
/19-22- AND HE SAITH UNTO HIM
OUT OF THINE OWN MOUTH WILL I JUDGE THEE
THOU WICKED SERVANT. THOU KNEWEST THAT I WAS AN AUSTERE MAN
TAKING UP THAT I LAID NOT DOWN
AND REAPING THAT I DID NOT SOW-
/19-23- WHEREFORE THEN GAVEST NOT THOU MY MONEY INTO THE BANK
THAT AT MY COMING I MIGHT HAVE REQUIRED MINE OWN WITH USURY?
/19-24- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM THAT STOOD BY
TAKE FROM HIM THE POUND
AND GIVE IT TO HIM THAT HATH TEN POUNDS.
/19-25- (AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM
LORD
HE HATH TEN POUNDS.)
/19-26- FOR I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT UNTO EVERY ONE WHICH HATH SHALL BE GIVEN AND FROM HIM THAT HATH NOT
EVEN THAT HE HATH SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM.
/19-27- BUT THOSE MINE ENEMIES
WHICH WOULD NOT THAT I SHOULD REIGN OVER THEM
BRING HITHER
AND SLAY THEM BEFORE ME.
/19-28- AND WHEN HE HAD THUS SPOKEN
HE WENT BEFORE
ASCENDING UP TO JERUSALEM.
/19-29- AND IT CAME TO PASS
WHEN HE WAS COME NIGH TO BETHPHAGE AND BETHANY
AT THE MOUNT CALLED THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
HE SENT TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES
/19-30- SAYING
GO YE INTO THE VILLAGE OVER AGAINST YOU IN THE WHICH AT YOUR ENTERING YE SHALL FIND A COLT TIED
WHEREON YET NEVER MAN SAT- LOOSE HIM
AND BRING HIM HITHER.
/19-31- AND IF ANY MAN ASK YOU
WHY DO YE LOOSE HIM? THUS SHALL YE SAY UNTO HIM
BECAUSE THE LORD HATH NEED OF HIM.
/19-32- AND THEY THAT WERE SENT WENT THEIR WAY
AND FOUND EVEN AS HE HAD SAID UNTO THEM.
/19-33- AND AS THEY WERE LOOSING THE COLT
THE OWNERS THEREOF SAID UNTO THEM
WHY LOOSE YE THE COLT?
/19-34- AND THEY SAID
THE LORD HATH NEED OF HIM.
/19-35- AND THEY BROUGHT HIM TO JESUS- AND THEY CAST THEIR GARMENTS UPON THE COLT
AND THEY SET JESUS THEREON.
/19-36- AND AS HE WENT
THEY SPREAD THEIR CLOTHES IN THE WAY.
/19-37- AND WHEN HE WAS COME NIGH
EVEN NOW AT THE DESCENT OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THE DISCIPLES BEGAN TO REJOICE AND PRAISE GOD WITH A LOUD VOICE FOR ALL THE MIGHTY WORKS THAT THEY HAD SEEN
/19-38- SAYING
BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD- PEACE IN HEAVEN
AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.
/19-39- AND SOME OF THE PHARISEES FROM AMONG THE MULTITUDE SAID UNTO HIM
MASTER
REBUKE THY DISCIPLES.
/19-40- AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM
I TELL YOU THAT
IF THESE SHOULD HOLD THEIR PEACE
THE STONES WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT.
/19-41- AND WHEN HE WAS COME NEAR
HE BEHELD THE CITY
AND WEPT OVER IT
/19-42- SAYING
IF THOU HADST KNOWN
EVEN THOU
AT LEAST IN THIS THY DAY
THE THINGS WHICH BELONG UNTO THY PEACE! BUT NOW THEY ARE HID FROM THINE EYES.
/19-43- FOR THE DAYS SHALL COME UPON THEE
THAT THINE ENEMIES SHALL CAST A TRENCH ABOUT THEE
AND COMPASS THEE ROUND
AND KEEP THEE IN ON EVERY SIDE
/19-44- AND SHALL LAY THEE EVEN WITH THE GROUND
AND THY CHILDREN WITHIN THEE AND THEY SHALL NOT LEAVE IN THEE ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER BECAUSE THOU KNEWEST NOT THE TIME OF THY VISITATION.
/19-45- AND HE WENT INTO THE TEMPLE
AND BEGAN TO CAST OUT THEM THAT SOLD THEREIN
AND THEM THAT BOUGHT
/19-46- SAYING UNTO THEM
IT IS WRITTEN
MY HOUSE IS THE HOUSE OF PRAYER- BUT YE HAVE MADE IT A DEN OF THIEVES.
/19-47- AND HE TAUGHT DAILY IN THE TEMPLE. BUT THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE SCRIBES AND THE CHIEF OF THE PEOPLE SOUGHT TO DESTROY HIM
/19-48- AND COULD NOT FIND WHAT THEY MIGHT DO- FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WERE VERY ATTENTIVE TO HEAR HIM.
/20-1- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT ON ONE OF THOSE DAYS
AS HE TAUGHT THE PEOPLE IN THE TEMPLE
AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL
THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE SCRIBES CAME UPON HIM WITH THE ELDERS
/20-2- AND SPAKE UNTO HIM
SAYING
TELL US
BY WHAT AUTHORITY DOEST THOU THESE THINGS? OR WHO IS HE THAT GAVE THEE THIS AUTHORITY?
/20-3- AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM
I WILL ALSO ASK YOU ONE THING AND ANSWER ME-
/20-4- THE BAPTISM OF JOHN
WAS IT FROM HEAVEN
OR OF MEN?
/20-5- AND THEY REASONED WITH THEMSELVES
SAYING
IF WE SHALL SAY
FROM HEAVEN HE WILL SAY
WHY THEN BELIEVED YE HIM NOT?
/20-6- BUT AND IF WE SAY
OF MEN ALL THE PEOPLE WILL STONE US- FOR THEY BE PERSUADED THAT JOHN WAS A PROPHET.
/20-7- AND THEY ANSWERED
THAT THEY COULD NOT TELL WHENCE IT WAS.
/20-8- AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM
NEITHER TELL I YOU BY WHAT AUTHORITY I DO THESE THINGS.
/20-9- THEN BEGAN HE TO SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE THIS PARABLE A CERTAIN MAN PLANTED A VINEYARD
AND LET IT FORTH TO HUSBANDMEN
AND WENT INTO A FAR COUNTRY FOR A LONG TIME.
/20-10- AND AT THE SEASON HE SENT A SERVANT TO THE HUSBANDMEN
THAT THEY SHOULD GIVE HIM OF THE FRUIT OF THE VINEYARD- BUT THE HUSBANDMEN BEAT HIM
AND SENT HIM AWAY EMPTY.
/20-11- AND AGAIN HE SENT ANOTHER SERVANT- AND THEY BEAT HIM ALSO
AND ENTREATED HIM SHAMEFULLY
AND SENT HIM AWAY EMPTY.
/20-12- AND AGAIN HE SENT A THIRD- AND THEY WOUNDED HIM ALSO
AND CAST HIM OUT.
/20-13- THEN SAID THE LORD OF THE VINEYARD
WHAT SHALL I DO? I WILL SEND MY BELOVED SON- IT MAY BE THEY WILL REVERENCE HIM WHEN THEY SEE HIM.
/20-14- BUT WHEN THE HUSBANDMEN SAW HIM
THEY REASONED AMONG THEMSELVES
SAYING
THIS IS THE HEIR- COME
LET US KILL HIM
THAT THE INHERITANCE MAY BE OURS.
/20-15- SO THEY CAST HIM OUT OF THE VINEYARD
AND KILLED HIM. WHAT THEREFORE SHALL THE LORD OF THE VINEYARD DO UNTO THEM?
/20-16- HE SHALL COME AND DESTROY THESE HUSBANDMEN
AND SHALL GIVE THE VINEYARD TO OTHERS. AND WHEN THEY HEARD IT
THEY SAID
GOD FORBID.
/20-17- AND HE BEHELD THEM
AND SAID
WHAT IS THIS THEN THAT IS WRITTEN
THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED
THE SAME IS BECOME THE HEAD OF THE CORNER?
/20-18- WHOSOEVER SHALL FALL UPON THAT STONE SHALL BE BROKEN BUT ON WHOMSOEVER IT SHALL FALL
IT WILL GRIND HIM TO POWDER.
/20-19- AND THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE SCRIBES THE SAME HOUR SOUGHT TO LAY HANDS ON HIM AND THEY FEARED THE PEOPLE- FOR THEY PERCEIVED THAT HE HAD SPOKEN THIS PARABLE AGAINST THEM.
/20-20- AND THEY WATCHED HIM
AND SENT FORTH SPIES
WHICH SHOULD FEIGN THEMSELVES JUST MEN
THAT THEY MIGHT TAKE HOLD OF HIS WORDS
THAT SO THEY MIGHT DELIVER HIM UNTO THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNOR.
/20-21- AND THEY ASKED HIM
SAYING
MASTER
WE KNOW THAT THOU SAYEST AND TEACHEST RIGHTLY
NEITHER ACCEPTEST THOU THE PERSON OF ANY
BUT TEACHEST THE WAY OF GOD TRULY-
/20-22- IS IT LAWFUL FOR US TO GIVE TRIBUTE UNTO CAESAR
OR NO?
/20-23- BUT HE PERCEIVED THEIR CRAFTINESS
AND SAID UNTO THEM
WHY TEMPT YE ME?
/20-24- SHEW ME A PENNY. WHOSE IMAGE AND SUPERSCRIPTION HATH IT? THEY ANSWERED AND SAID
CAESAR'S.
/20-25- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
RENDER THEREFORE UNTO CAESAR THE THINGS WHICH BE CAESAR'S
AND UNTO GOD THE THINGS WHICH BE GOD'S.
/20-26- AND THEY COULD NOT TAKE HOLD OF HIS WORDS BEFORE THE PEOPLE- AND THEY MARVELLED AT HIS ANSWER
AND HELD THEIR PEACE.
/20-27- THEN CAME TO HIM CERTAIN OF THE SADDUCEES
WHICH DENY THAT THERE IS ANY RESURRECTION AND THEY ASKED HIM
/20-28- SAYING
MASTER
MOSES WROTE UNTO US
IF ANY MAN'S BROTHER DIE
HAVING A WIFE
AND HE DIE WITHOUT CHILDREN
THAT HIS BROTHER SHOULD TAKE HIS WIFE
AND RAISE UP SEED UNTO HIS BROTHER.
/20-29- THERE WERE THEREFORE SEVEN BRETHREN- AND THE FIRST TOOK A WIFE
AND DIED WITHOUT CHILDREN.
/20-30- AND THE SECOND TOOK HER TO WIFE
AND HE DIED CHILDLESS.
/20-31- AND THE THIRD TOOK HER AND IN LIKE MANNER THE SEVEN ALSO- AND THEY LEFT NO CHILDREN
AND DIED.
/20-32- LAST OF ALL THE WOMAN DIED ALSO.
/20-33- THEREFORE IN THE RESURRECTION WHOSE WIFE OF THEM IS SHE? FOR SEVEN HAD HER TO WIFE.
/20-34- AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO THEM
THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD MARRY
AND ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE-
/20-35- BUT THEY WHICH SHALL BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO OBTAIN THAT WORLD
AND THE RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD
NEITHER MARRY
NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE-
/20-36- NEITHER CAN THEY DIE ANY MORE- FOR THEY ARE EQUAL UNTO THE ANGELS AND ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD
BEING THE CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION.
/20-37- NOW THAT THE DEAD ARE RAISED
EVEN MOSES SHEWED AT THE BUSH
WHEN HE CALLETH THE LORD THE GOD OF ABRAHAM
AND THE GOD OF ISAAC
AND THE GOD OF JACOB.
/20-38- FOR HE IS NOT A GOD OF THE DEAD
BUT OF THE LIVING- FOR ALL LIVE UNTO HIM.
/20-39- THEN CERTAIN OF THE SCRIBES ANSWERING SAID
MASTER
THOU HAST WELL SAID.
/20-40- AND AFTER THAT THEY DURST NOT ASK HIM ANY QUESTION AT ALL.
/20-41- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
HOW SAY THEY THAT CHRIST IS DAVID'S SON?
/20-42- AND DAVID HIMSELF SAITH IN THE BOOK OF PSALMS
THE LORD SAID UNTO MY LORD
SIT THOU ON MY RIGHT HAND
/20-43- TILL I MAKE THINE ENEMIES THY FOOTSTOOL.
/20-44- DAVID THEREFORE CALLETH HIM LORD
HOW IS HE THEN HIS SON?
/20-45- THEN IN THE AUDIENCE OF ALL THE PEOPLE HE SAID UNTO HIS DISCIPLES
/20-46- BEWARE OF THE SCRIBES
WHICH DESIRE TO WALK IN LONG ROBES
AND LOVE GREETINGS IN THE MARKETS
AND THE HIGHEST SEATS IN THE SYNAGOGUES
AND THE CHIEF ROOMS AT FEASTS
/20-47- WHICH DEVOUR WIDOWS' HOUSES
AND FOR A SHEW MAKE LONG PRAYERS- THE SAME SHALL RECEIVE GREATER DAMNATION.
/21-1- AND HE LOOKED UP
AND SAW THE RICH MEN CASTING THEIR GIFTS INTO THE TREASURY.
/21-2- AND HE SAW ALSO A CERTAIN POOR WIDOW CASTING IN THITHER TWO MITES.
/21-3- AND HE SAID
OF A TRUTH I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT THIS POOR WIDOW HATH CAST IN MORE THAN THEY ALL-
/21-4- FOR ALL THESE HAVE OF THEIR ABUNDANCE CAST IN UNTO THE OFFERINGS OF GOD- BUT SHE OF HER PENURY HATH CAST IN ALL THE LIVING THAT SHE HAD.
/21-5- AND AS SOME SPAKE OF THE TEMPLE
HOW IT WAS ADORNED WITH GOODLY STONES AND GIFTS
HE SAID
/21-6- AS FOR THESE THINGS WHICH YE BEHOLD
THE DAYS WILL COME
IN THE WHICH THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER
THAT SHALL NOT BE THROWN DOWN.
/21-7- AND THEY ASKED HIM
SAYING
MASTER
BUT WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE? AND WHAT SIGN WILL THERE BE WHEN THESE THINGS SHALL COME TO PASS?
/21-8- AND HE SAID
TAKE HEED THAT YE BE NOT DECEIVED- FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME
SAYING
I AM CHRIST AND THE TIME DRAWETH NEAR- GO YE NOT THEREFORE AFTER THEM.
/21-9- BUT WHEN YE SHALL HEAR OF WARS AND COMMOTIONS
BE NOT TERRIFIED- FOR THESE THINGS MUST FIRST COME TO PASS BUT THE END IS NOT BY AND BY.
/21-10- THEN SAID HE UNTO THEM
NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION
AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM-
/21-11- AND GREAT EARTHQUAKES SHALL BE IN DIVERS PLACES
AND FAMINES
AND PESTILENCES AND FEARFUL SIGHTS AND GREAT SIGNS SHALL THERE BE FROM HEAVEN.
/21-12- BUT BEFORE ALL THESE
THEY SHALL LAY THEIR HANDS ON YOU
AND PERSECUTE YOU
DELIVERING YOU UP TO THE SYNAGOGUES
AND INTO PRISONS
BEING BROUGHT BEFORE KINGS AND RULERS FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
/21-13- AND IT SHALL TURN TO YOU FOR A TESTIMONY.
/21-14- SETTLE IT THEREFORE IN YOUR HEARTS
NOT TO MEDITATE BEFORE WHAT YE SHALL ANSWER-
/21-15- FOR I WILL GIVE YOU A MOUTH AND WISDOM
WHICH ALL YOUR ADVERSARIES SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO GAINSAY NOR RESIST.
/21-16- AND YE SHALL BE BETRAYED BOTH BY PARENTS
AND BRETHREN
AND KINSFOLKS
AND FRIENDS AND SOME OF YOU SHALL THEY CAUSE TO BE PUT TO DEATH.
/21-17- AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
/21-18- BUT THERE SHALL NOT AN HAIR OF YOUR HEAD PERISH.
/21-19- IN YOUR PATIENCE POSSESS YE YOUR SOULS.
/21-20- AND WHEN YE SHALL SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES
THEN KNOW THAT THE DESOLATION THEREOF IS NIGH.
/21-21- THEN LET THEM WHICH ARE IN JUDAEA FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS AND LET THEM WHICH ARE IN THE MIDST OF IT DEPART OUT AND LET NOT THEM THAT ARE IN THE COUNTRIES ENTER THEREINTO.
/21-22- FOR THESE BE THE DAYS OF VENGEANCE
THAT ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN MAY BE FULFILLED.
/21-23- BUT WOE UNTO THEM THAT ARE WITH CHILD
AND TO THEM THAT GIVE SUCK
IN THOSE DAYS! FOR THERE SHALL BE GREAT DISTRESS IN THE LAND
AND WRATH UPON THIS PEOPLE.
/21-24- AND THEY SHALL FALL BY THE EDGE OF THE SWORD
AND SHALL BE LED AWAY CAPTIVE INTO ALL NATIONS- AND JERUSALEM SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN OF THE GENTILES
UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED.
/21-25- AND THERE SHALL BE SIGNS IN THE SUN
AND IN THE MOON
AND IN THE STARS AND UPON THE EARTH DISTRESS OF NATIONS
WITH PERPLEXITY THE SEA AND THE WAVES ROARING
/21-26- MEN'S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR
AND FOR LOOKING AFTER THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE COMING ON THE EARTH- FOR THE POWERS OF HEAVEN SHALL BE SHAKEN.
/21-27- AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY.
/21-28- AND WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS
THEN LOOK UP
AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.
/21-29- AND HE SPAKE TO THEM A PARABLE BEHOLD THE FIG TREE
AND ALL THE TREES
/21-30- WHEN THEY NOW SHOOT FORTH
YE SEE AND KNOW OF YOUR OWN SELVES THAT SUMMER IS NOW NIGH AT HAND.
/21-31- SO LIKEWISE YE
WHEN YE SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS
KNOW YE THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NIGH AT HAND.
/21-32- VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU
THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY
TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.
/21-33- HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY- BUT MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY.
/21-34- AND TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES
LEST AT ANY TIME YOUR HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED WITH SURFEITING
AND DRUNKENNESS
AND CARES OF THIS LIFE
AND SO THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES.
/21-35- FOR AS A SNARE SHALL IT COME ON ALL THEM THAT DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH.
/21-36- WATCH YE THEREFORE
AND PRAY ALWAYS
THAT YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS
AND TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN.
/21-37- AND IN THE DAY TIME HE WAS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE AND AT NIGHT HE WENT OUT
AND ABODE IN THE MOUNT THAT IS CALLED THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
/21-38- AND ALL THE PEOPLE CAME EARLY IN THE MORNING TO HIM IN THE TEMPLE
FOR TO HEAR HIM.
/22-1- NOW THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD DREW NIGH
WHICH IS CALLED THE PASSOVER.
/22-2- AND THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES SOUGHT HOW THEY MIGHT KILL HIM FOR THEY FEARED THE PEOPLE.
/22-3- THEN ENTERED SATAN INTO JUDAS SURNAMED ISCARIOT
BEING OF THE NUMBER OF THE TWELVE.
/22-4- AND HE WENT HIS WAY
AND COMMUNED WITH THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND CAPTAINS
HOW HE MIGHT BETRAY HIM UNTO THEM.
/22-5- AND THEY WERE GLAD
AND COVENANTED TO GIVE HIM MONEY.
/22-6- AND HE PROMISED
AND SOUGHT OPPORTUNITY TO BETRAY HIM UNTO THEM IN THE ABSENCE OF THE MULTITUDE.
/22-7- THEN CAME THE DAY OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
WHEN THE PASSOVER MUST BE KILLED.
/22-8- AND HE SENT PETER AND JOHN
SAYING
GO AND PREPARE US THE PASSOVER
THAT WE MAY EAT.
/22-9- AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM
WHERE WILT THOU THAT WE PREPARE?
/22-10- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
BEHOLD
WHEN YE ARE ENTERED INTO THE CITY
THERE SHALL A MAN MEET YOU
BEARING A PITCHER OF WATER FOLLOW HIM INTO THE HOUSE WHERE HE ENTERETH IN.
/22-11- AND YE SHALL SAY UNTO THE GOODMAN OF THE HOUSE
THE MASTER SAITH UNTO THEE
WHERE IS THE GUESTCHAMBER
WHERE I SHALL EAT THE PASSOVER WITH MY DISCIPLES?
/22-12- AND HE SHALL SHEW YOU A LARGE UPPER ROOM FURNISHED- THERE MAKE READY.
/22-13- AND THEY WENT
AND FOUND AS HE HAD SAID UNTO THEM- AND THEY MADE READY THE PASSOVER.
/22-14- AND WHEN THE HOUR WAS COME
HE SAT DOWN
AND THE TWELVE APOSTLES WITH HIM.
/22-15- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WITH DESIRE I HAVE DESIRED TO EAT THIS PASSOVER WITH YOU BEFORE I SUFFER-
/22-16- FOR I SAY UNTO YOU
I WILL NOT ANY MORE EAT THEREOF
UNTIL IT BE FULFILLED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/22-17- AND HE TOOK THE CUP
AND GAVE THANKS
AND SAID
TAKE THIS
AND DIVIDE IT AMONG YOURSELVES-
/22-18- FOR I SAY UNTO YOU
I WILL NOT DRINK OF THE FRUIT OF THE VINE
UNTIL THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHALL COME.
/22-19- AND HE TOOK BREAD
AND GAVE THANKS
AND BRAKE IT
AND GAVE UNTO THEM
SAYING
THIS IS MY BODY WHICH IS GIVEN FOR YOU- THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
/22-20- LIKEWISE ALSO THE CUP AFTER SUPPER
SAYING
THIS CUP IS THE NEW TESTAMENT IN MY BLOOD
WHICH IS SHED FOR YOU.
/22-21- BUT
BEHOLD
THE HAND OF HIM THAT BETRAYETH ME IS WITH ME ON THE TABLE.
/22-22- AND TRULY THE SON OF MAN GOETH
AS IT WAS DETERMINED- BUT WOE UNTO THAT MAN BY WHOM HE IS BETRAYED!
/22-23- AND THEY BEGAN TO ENQUIRE AMONG THEMSELVES
WHICH OF THEM IT WAS THAT SHOULD DO THIS THING.
/22-24- AND THERE WAS ALSO A STRIFE AMONG THEM
WHICH OF THEM SHOULD BE ACCOUNTED THE GREATEST.
/22-25- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
THE KINGS OF THE GENTILES EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM AND THEY THAT EXERCISE AUTHORITY UPON THEM ARE CALLED BENEFACTORS.
/22-26- BUT YE SHALL NOT BE SO- BUT HE THAT IS GREATEST AMONG YOU
LET HIM BE AS THE YOUNGER AND HE THAT IS CHIEF
AS HE THAT DOTH SERVE.
/22-27- FOR WHETHER IS GREATER
HE THAT SITTETH AT MEAT
OR HE THAT SERVETH? IS NOT HE THAT SITTETH AT MEAT? BUT I AM AMONG YOU AS HE THAT SERVETH.
/22-28- YE ARE THEY WHICH HAVE CONTINUED WITH ME IN MY TEMPTATIONS.
/22-29- AND I APPOINT UNTO YOU A KINGDOM
AS MY FATHER HATH APPOINTED UNTO ME
/22-30- THAT YE MAY EAT AND DRINK AT MY TABLE IN MY KINGDOM
AND SIT ON THRONES JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
/22-31- AND THE LORD SAID
SIMON
SIMON
BEHOLD
SATAN HATH DESIRED TO HAVE YOU
THAT HE MAY SIFT YOU AS WHEAT-
/22-32- BUT I HAVE PRAYED FOR THEE
THAT THY FAITH FAIL NOT- AND WHEN THOU ART CONVERTED
STRENGTHEN THY BRETHREN.
/22-33- AND HE SAID UNTO HIM
LORD
I AM READY TO GO WITH THEE
BOTH INTO PRISON
AND TO DEATH.
/22-34- AND HE SAID
I TELL THEE
PETER
THE COCK SHALL NOT CROW THIS DAY
BEFORE THAT THOU SHALT THRICE DENY THAT THOU KNOWEST ME.
/22-35- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WHEN I SENT YOU WITHOUT PURSE
AND SCRIP
AND SHOES
LACKED YE ANY THING? AND THEY SAID
NOTHING.
/22-36- THEN SAID HE UNTO THEM
BUT NOW
HE THAT HATH A PURSE
LET HIM TAKE IT
AND LIKEWISE HIS SCRIP- AND HE THAT HATH NO SWORD
LET HIM SELL HIS GARMENT
AND BUY ONE.
/22-37- FOR I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT THIS THAT IS WRITTEN MUST YET BE ACCOMPLISHED IN ME
AND HE WAS RECKONED AMONG THE TRANSGRESSORS- FOR THE THINGS CONCERNING ME HAVE AN END.
/22-38- AND THEY SAID
LORD
BEHOLD
HERE ARE TWO SWORDS. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
IT IS ENOUGH.
/22-39- AND HE CAME OUT
AND WENT
AS HE WAS WONT
TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES AND HIS DISCIPLES ALSO FOLLOWED HIM.
/22-40- AND WHEN HE WAS AT THE PLACE
HE SAID UNTO THEM
PRAY THAT YE ENTER NOT INTO TEMPTATION.
/22-41- AND HE WAS WITHDRAWN FROM THEM ABOUT A STONE'S CAST
AND KNEELED DOWN
AND PRAYED
/22-42- SAYING
FATHER
IF THOU BE WILLING
REMOVE THIS CUP FROM ME- NEVERTHELESS NOT MY WILL
BUT THINE
BE DONE.
/22-43- AND THERE APPEARED AN ANGEL UNTO HIM FROM HEAVEN
STRENGTHENING HIM.
/22-44- AND BEING IN AN AGONY HE PRAYED MORE EARNESTLY- AND HIS SWEAT WAS AS IT WERE GREAT DROPS OF BLOOD FALLING DOWN TO THE GROUND.
/22-45- AND WHEN HE ROSE UP FROM PRAYER
AND WAS COME TO HIS DISCIPLES
HE FOUND THEM SLEEPING FOR SORROW
/22-46- AND SAID UNTO THEM
WHY SLEEP YE? RISE AND PRAY
LEST YE ENTER INTO TEMPTATION.
/22-47- AND WHILE HE YET SPAKE
BEHOLD A MULTITUDE
AND HE THAT WAS CALLED JUDAS
ONE OF THE TWELVE
WENT BEFORE THEM
AND DREW NEAR UNTO JESUS TO KISS HIM.
/22-48- BUT JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
JUDAS
BETRAYEST THOU THE SON OF MAN WITH A KISS?
/22-49- WHEN THEY WHICH WERE ABOUT HIM SAW WHAT WOULD FOLLOW
THEY SAID UNTO HIM
LORD
SHALL WE SMITE WITH THE SWORD?
/22-50- AND ONE OF THEM SMOTE THE SERVANT OF THE HIGH PRIEST
AND CUT OFF HIS RIGHT EAR.
/22-51- AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID
SUFFER YE THUS FAR. AND HE TOUCHED HIS EAR
AND HEALED HIM.
/22-52- THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THE CHIEF PRIESTS
AND CAPTAINS OF THE TEMPLE
AND THE ELDERS
WHICH WERE COME TO HIM
BE YE COME OUT
AS AGAINST A THIEF
WITH SWORDS AND STAVES?
/22-53- WHEN I WAS DAILY WITH YOU IN THE TEMPLE
YE STRETCHED FORTH NO HANDS AGAINST ME- BUT THIS IS YOUR HOUR
AND THE POWER OF DARKNESS.
/22-54- THEN TOOK THEY HIM
AND LED HIM
AND BROUGHT HIM INTO THE HIGH PRIEST'S HOUSE. AND PETER FOLLOWED AFAR OFF.
/22-55- AND WHEN THEY HAD KINDLED A FIRE IN THE MIDST OF THE HALL
AND WERE SET DOWN TOGETHER
PETER SAT DOWN AMONG THEM.
/22-56- BUT A CERTAIN MAID BEHELD HIM AS HE SAT BY THE FIRE
AND EARNESTLY LOOKED UPON HIM
AND SAID
THIS MAN WAS ALSO WITH HIM.
/22-57- AND HE DENIED HIM
SAYING
WOMAN
I KNOW HIM NOT.
/22-58- AND AFTER A LITTLE WHILE ANOTHER SAW HIM
AND SAID
THOU ART ALSO OF THEM. AND PETER SAID
MAN
I AM NOT.
/22-59- AND ABOUT THE SPACE OF ONE HOUR AFTER ANOTHER CONFIDENTLY AFFIRMED
SAYING
OF A TRUTH THIS FELLOW ALSO WAS WITH HIM- FOR HE IS A GALILAEAN.
/22-60- AND PETER SAID
MAN
I KNOW NOT WHAT THOU SAYEST. AND IMMEDIATELY
WHILE HE YET SPAKE
THE COCK CREW.
/22-61- AND THE LORD TURNED
AND LOOKED UPON PETER. AND PETER REMEMBERED THE WORD OF THE LORD
HOW HE HAD SAID UNTO HIM
BEFORE THE COCK CROW
THOU SHALT DENY ME THRICE.
/22-62- AND PETER WENT OUT
AND WEPT BITTERLY.
/22-63- AND THE MEN THAT HELD JESUS MOCKED HIM
AND SMOTE HIM.
/22-64- AND WHEN THEY HAD BLINDFOLDED HIM
THEY STRUCK HIM ON THE FACE
AND ASKED HIM
SAYING
PROPHESY
WHO IS IT THAT SMOTE THEE?
/22-65- AND MANY OTHER THINGS BLASPHEMOUSLY SPAKE THEY AGAINST HIM.
/22-66- AND AS SOON AS IT WAS DAY
THE ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE SCRIBES CAME TOGETHER
AND LED HIM INTO THEIR COUNCIL
SAYING
/22-67- ART THOU THE CHRIST? TELL US. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
IF I TELL YOU
YE WILL NOT BELIEVE-
/22-68- AND IF I ALSO ASK YOU
YE WILL NOT ANSWER ME
NOR LET ME GO.
/22-69- HEREAFTER SHALL THE SON OF MAN SIT ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE POWER OF GOD.
/22-70- THEN SAID THEY ALL
ART THOU THEN THE SON OF GOD? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
YE SAY THAT I AM.
/22-71- AND THEY SAID
WHAT NEED WE ANY FURTHER WITNESS? FOR WE OURSELVES HAVE HEARD OF HIS OWN MOUTH.
/23-1- AND THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THEM AROSE
AND LED HIM UNTO PILATE.
/23-2- AND THEY BEGAN TO ACCUSE HIM
SAYING
WE FOUND THIS FELLOW PERVERTING THE NATION
AND FORBIDDING TO GIVE TRIBUTE TO CAESAR
SAYING THAT HE HIMSELF IS CHRIST A KING.
/23-3- AND PILATE ASKED HIM
SAYING
ART THOU THE KING OF THE JEWS? AND HE ANSWERED HIM AND SAID
THOU SAYEST IT.
/23-4- THEN SAID PILATE TO THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND TO THE PEOPLE
I FIND NO FAULT IN THIS MAN.
/23-5- AND THEY WERE THE MORE FIERCE
SAYING
HE STIRRETH UP THE PEOPLE
TEACHING THROUGHOUT ALL JEWRY
BEGINNING FROM GALILEE TO THIS PLACE.
/23-6- WHEN PILATE HEARD OF GALILEE
HE ASKED WHETHER THE MAN WERE A GALILAEAN.
/23-7- AND AS SOON AS HE KNEW THAT HE BELONGED UNTO HEROD'S JURISDICTION
HE SENT HIM TO HEROD
WHO HIMSELF ALSO WAS AT JERUSALEM AT THAT TIME.
/23-8- AND WHEN HEROD SAW JESUS
HE WAS EXCEEDING GLAD- FOR HE WAS DESIROUS TO SEE HIM OF A LONG SEASON
BECAUSE HE HAD HEARD MANY THINGS OF HIM AND HE HOPED TO HAVE SEEN SOME MIRACLE DONE BY HIM.
/23-9- THEN HE QUESTIONED WITH HIM IN MANY WORDS BUT HE ANSWERED HIM NOTHING.
/23-10- AND THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES STOOD AND VEHEMENTLY ACCUSED HIM.
/23-11- AND HEROD WITH HIS MEN OF WAR SET HIM AT NOUGHT
AND MOCKED HIM
AND ARRAYED HIM IN A GORGEOUS ROBE
AND SENT HIM AGAIN TO PILATE.
/23-12- AND THE SAME DAY PILATE AND HEROD WERE MADE FRIENDS TOGETHER- FOR BEFORE THEY WERE AT ENMITY BETWEEN THEMSELVES.
/23-13- AND PILATE
WHEN HE HAD CALLED TOGETHER THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE RULERS AND THE PEOPLE
/23-14- SAID UNTO THEM
YE HAVE BROUGHT THIS MAN UNTO ME
AS ONE THAT PERVERTETH THE PEOPLE- AND
BEHOLD
I
HAVING EXAMINED HIM BEFORE YOU
HAVE FOUND NO FAULT IN THIS MAN TOUCHING THOSE THINGS WHEREOF YE ACCUSE HIM-
/23-15- NO
NOR YET HEROD- FOR I SENT YOU TO HIM AND
LO
NOTHING WORTHY OF DEATH IS DONE UNTO HIM.
/23-16- I WILL THEREFORE CHASTISE HIM
AND RELEASE HIM.
/23-17- (FOR OF NECESSITY HE MUST RELEASE ONE UNTO THEM AT THE FEAST.)
/23-18- AND THEY CRIED OUT ALL AT ONCE
SAYING
AWAY WITH THIS MAN
AND RELEASE UNTO US BARABBAS-
/23-19- (WHO FOR A CERTAIN SEDITION MADE IN THE CITY
AND FOR MURDER
WAS CAST INTO PRISON.)
/23-20- PILATE THEREFORE
WILLING TO RELEASE JESUS
SPAKE AGAIN TO THEM.
/23-21- BUT THEY CRIED
SAYING
CRUCIFY HIM
CRUCIFY HIM.
/23-22- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM THE THIRD TIME
WHY
WHAT EVIL HATH HE DONE? I HAVE FOUND NO CAUSE OF DEATH IN HIM- I WILL THEREFORE CHASTISE HIM
AND LET HIM GO.
/23-23- AND THEY WERE INSTANT WITH LOUD VOICES
REQUIRING THAT HE MIGHT BE CRUCIFIED. AND THE VOICES OF THEM AND OF THE CHIEF PRIESTS PREVAILED.
/23-24- AND PILATE GAVE SENTENCE THAT IT SHOULD BE AS THEY REQUIRED.
/23-25- AND HE RELEASED UNTO THEM HIM THAT FOR SEDITION AND MURDER WAS CAST INTO PRISON
WHOM THEY HAD DESIRED BUT HE DELIVERED JESUS TO THEIR WILL.
/23-26- AND AS THEY LED HIM AWAY
THEY LAID HOLD UPON ONE SIMON
A CYRENIAN
COMING OUT OF THE COUNTRY
AND ON HIM THEY LAID THE CROSS
THAT HE MIGHT BEAR IT AFTER JESUS.
/23-27- AND THERE FOLLOWED HIM A GREAT COMPANY OF PEOPLE
AND OF WOMEN
WHICH ALSO BEWAILED AND LAMENTED HIM.
/23-28- BUT JESUS TURNING UNTO THEM SAID
DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM
WEEP NOT FOR ME
BUT WEEP FOR YOURSELVES
AND FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
/23-29- FOR
BEHOLD
THE DAYS ARE COMING
IN THE WHICH THEY SHALL SAY
BLESSED ARE THE BARREN
AND THE WOMBS THAT NEVER BARE
AND THE PAPS WHICH NEVER GAVE SUCK.
/23-30- THEN SHALL THEY BEGIN TO SAY TO THE MOUNTAINS
FALL ON US AND TO THE HILLS
COVER US.
/23-31- FOR IF THEY DO THESE THINGS IN A GREEN TREE
WHAT SHALL BE DONE IN THE DRY?
/23-32- AND THERE WERE ALSO TWO OTHER
MALEFACTORS
LED WITH HIM TO BE PUT TO DEATH.
/23-33- AND WHEN THEY WERE COME TO THE PLACE
WHICH IS CALLED CALVARY
THERE THEY CRUCIFIED HIM
AND THE MALEFACTORS
ONE ON THE RIGHT HAND
AND THE OTHER ON THE LEFT.
/23-34- THEN SAID JESUS
FATHER
FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO. AND THEY PARTED HIS RAIMENT
AND CAST LOTS.
/23-35- AND THE PEOPLE STOOD BEHOLDING. AND THE RULERS ALSO WITH THEM DERIDED HIM
SAYING
HE SAVED OTHERS LET HIM SAVE HIMSELF
IF HE BE CHRIST
THE CHOSEN OF GOD.
/23-36- AND THE SOLDIERS ALSO MOCKED HIM
COMING TO HIM
AND OFFERING HIM VINEGAR
/23-37- AND SAYING
IF THOU BE THE KING OF THE JEWS
SAVE THYSELF.
/23-38- AND A SUPERSCRIPTION ALSO WAS WRITTEN OVER HIM IN LETTERS OF GREEK
AND LATIN
AND HEBREW
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
/23-39- AND ONE OF THE MALEFACTORS WHICH WERE HANGED RAILED ON HIM
SAYING
IF THOU BE CHRIST
SAVE THYSELF AND US.
/23-40- BUT THE OTHER ANSWERING REBUKED HIM
SAYING
DOST NOT THOU FEAR GOD
SEEING THOU ART IN THE SAME CONDEMNATION?
/23-41- AND WE INDEED JUSTLY FOR WE RECEIVE THE DUE REWARD OF OUR DEEDS- BUT THIS MAN HATH DONE NOTHING AMISS.
/23-42- AND HE SAID UNTO JESUS
LORD
REMEMBER ME WHEN THOU COMEST INTO THY KINGDOM.
/23-43- AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM
VERILY I SAY UNTO THEE
TO DAY SHALT THOU BE WITH ME IN PARADISE.
/23-44- AND IT WAS ABOUT THE SIXTH HOUR
AND THERE WAS A DARKNESS OVER ALL THE EARTH UNTIL THE NINTH HOUR.
/23-45- AND THE SUN WAS DARKENED
AND THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS RENT IN THE MIDST.
/23-46- AND WHEN JESUS HAD CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE
HE SAID
FATHER
INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT- AND HAVING SAID THUS
HE GAVE UP THE GHOST.
/23-47- NOW WHEN THE CENTURION SAW WHAT WAS DONE
HE GLORIFIED GOD
SAYING
CERTAINLY THIS WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN.
/23-48- AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME TOGETHER TO THAT SIGHT
BEHOLDING THE THINGS WHICH WERE DONE
SMOTE THEIR BREASTS
AND RETURNED.
/23-49- AND ALL HIS ACQUAINTANCE
AND THE WOMEN THAT FOLLOWED HIM FROM GALILEE
STOOD AFAR OFF
BEHOLDING THESE THINGS.
/23-50- AND
BEHOLD
THERE WAS A MAN NAMED JOSEPH
A COUNSELLOR AND HE WAS A GOOD MAN
AND A JUST-
/23-51- (THE SAME HAD NOT CONSENTED TO THE COUNSEL AND DEED OF THEM) HE WAS OF ARIMATHAEA
A CITY OF THE JEWS- WHO ALSO HIMSELF WAITED FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/23-52- THIS MAN WENT UNTO PILATE
AND BEGGED THE BODY OF JESUS.
/23-53- AND HE TOOK IT DOWN
AND WRAPPED IT IN LINEN
AND LAID IT IN A SEPULCHRE THAT WAS HEWN IN STONE
WHEREIN NEVER MAN BEFORE WAS LAID.
/23-54- AND THAT DAY WAS THE PREPARATION
AND THE SABBATH DREW ON.
/23-55- AND THE WOMEN ALSO
WHICH CAME WITH HIM FROM GALILEE
FOLLOWED AFTER
AND BEHELD THE SEPULCHRE
AND HOW HIS BODY WAS LAID.
/23-56- AND THEY RETURNED
AND PREPARED SPICES AND OINTMENTS AND RESTED THE SABBATH DAY ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT.
/24-1- NOW UPON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK
VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING
THEY CAME UNTO THE SEPULCHRE
BRINGING THE SPICES WHICH THEY HAD PREPARED
AND CERTAIN OTHERS WITH THEM.
/24-2- AND THEY FOUND THE STONE ROLLED AWAY FROM THE SEPULCHRE.
/24-3- AND THEY ENTERED IN
AND FOUND NOT THE BODY OF THE LORD JESUS.
/24-4- AND IT CAME TO PASS
AS THEY WERE MUCH PERPLEXED THEREABOUT
BEHOLD
TWO MEN STOOD BY THEM IN SHINING GARMENTS-
/24-5- AND AS THEY WERE AFRAID
AND BOWED DOWN THEIR FACES TO THE EARTH
THEY SAID UNTO THEM
WHY SEEK YE THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD?
/24-6- HE IS NOT HERE
BUT IS RISEN- REMEMBER HOW HE SPAKE UNTO YOU WHEN HE WAS YET IN GALILEE
/24-7- SAYING
THE SON OF MAN MUST BE DELIVERED INTO THE HANDS OF SINFUL MEN
AND BE CRUCIFIED
AND THE THIRD DAY RISE AGAIN.
/24-8- AND THEY REMEMBERED HIS WORDS
/24-9- AND RETURNED FROM THE SEPULCHRE
AND TOLD ALL THESE THINGS UNTO THE ELEVEN
AND TO ALL THE REST.
/24-10- IT WAS MARY MAGDALENE
AND JOANNA
AND MARY THE MOTHER OF JAMES
AND OTHER WOMEN THAT WERE WITH THEM
WHICH TOLD THESE THINGS UNTO THE APOSTLES.
/24-11- AND THEIR WORDS SEEMED TO THEM AS IDLE TALES
AND THEY BELIEVED THEM NOT.
/24-12- THEN AROSE PETER
AND RAN UNTO THE SEPULCHRE AND STOOPING DOWN
HE BEHELD THE LINEN CLOTHES LAID BY THEMSELVES
AND DEPARTED
WONDERING IN HIMSELF AT THAT WHICH WAS COME TO PASS.
/24-13- AND
BEHOLD
TWO OF THEM WENT THAT SAME DAY TO A VILLAGE CALLED EMMAUS
WHICH WAS FROM JERUSALEM ABOUT THREESCORE FURLONGS.
/24-14- AND THEY TALKED TOGETHER OF ALL THESE THINGS WHICH HAD HAPPENED.
/24-15- AND IT CAME TO PASS
THAT
WHILE THEY COMMUNED TOGETHER AND REASONED
JESUS HIMSELF DREW NEAR
AND WENT WITH THEM.
/24-16- BUT THEIR EYES WERE HOLDEN THAT THEY SHOULD NOT KNOW HIM.
/24-17- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WHAT MANNER OF COMMUNICATIONS ARE THESE THAT YE HAVE ONE TO ANOTHER
AS YE WALK
AND ARE SAD?
/24-18- AND THE ONE OF THEM
WHOSE NAME WAS CLEOPAS
ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM
ART THOU ONLY A STRANGER IN JERUSALEM
AND HAST NOT KNOWN THE THINGS WHICH ARE COME TO PASS THERE IN THESE DAYS?
/24-19- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WHAT THINGS? AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM
CONCERNING JESUS OF NAZARETH
WHICH WAS A PROPHET MIGHTY IN DEED AND WORD BEFORE GOD AND ALL THE PEOPLE-
/24-20- AND HOW THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND OUR RULERS DELIVERED HIM TO BE CONDEMNED TO DEATH
AND HAVE CRUCIFIED HIM.
/24-21- BUT WE TRUSTED THAT IT HAD BEEN HE WHICH SHOULD HAVE REDEEMED ISRAEL- AND BESIDE ALL THIS
TO DAY IS THE THIRD DAY SINCE THESE THINGS WERE DONE.
/24-22- YEA
AND CERTAIN WOMEN ALSO OF OUR COMPANY MADE US ASTONISHED
WHICH WERE EARLY AT THE SEPULCHRE
/24-23- AND WHEN THEY FOUND NOT HIS BODY
THEY CAME
SAYING
THAT THEY HAD ALSO SEEN A VISION OF ANGELS
WHICH SAID THAT HE WAS ALIVE.
/24-24- AND CERTAIN OF THEM WHICH WERE WITH US WENT TO THE SEPULCHRE
AND FOUND IT EVEN SO AS THE WOMEN HAD SAID- BUT HIM THEY SAW NOT.
/24-25- THEN HE SAID UNTO THEM
O FOOLS
AND SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN-
/24-26- OUGHT NOT CHRIST TO HAVE SUFFERED THESE THINGS
AND TO ENTER INTO HIS GLORY?
/24-27- AND BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL THE PROPHETS
HE EXPOUNDED UNTO THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF.
/24-28- AND THEY DREW NIGH UNTO THE VILLAGE
WHITHER THEY WENT- AND HE MADE AS THOUGH HE WOULD HAVE GONE FURTHER.
/24-29- BUT THEY CONSTRAINED HIM
SAYING
ABIDE WITH US- FOR IT IS TOWARD EVENING
AND THE DAY IS FAR SPENT. AND HE WENT IN TO TARRY WITH THEM.
/24-30- AND IT CAME TO PASS
AS HE SAT AT MEAT WITH THEM
HE TOOK BREAD
AND BLESSED IT
AND BRAKE
AND GAVE TO THEM.
/24-31- AND THEIR EYES WERE OPENED
AND THEY KNEW HIM AND HE VANISHED OUT OF THEIR SIGHT.
/24-32- AND THEY SAID ONE TO ANOTHER
DID NOT OUR HEART BURN WITHIN US
WHILE HE TALKED WITH US BY THE WAY
AND WHILE HE OPENED TO US THE SCRIPTURES?
/24-33- AND THEY ROSE UP THE SAME HOUR
AND RETURNED TO JERUSALEM
AND FOUND THE ELEVEN GATHERED TOGETHER
AND THEM THAT WERE WITH THEM
/24-34- SAYING
THE LORD IS RISEN INDEED
AND HATH APPEARED TO SIMON.
/24-35- AND THEY TOLD WHAT THINGS WERE DONE IN THE WAY
AND HOW HE WAS KNOWN OF THEM IN BREAKING OF BREAD.
/24-36- AND AS THEY THUS SPAKE
JESUS HIMSELF STOOD IN THE MIDST OF THEM
AND SAITH UNTO THEM
PEACE BE UNTO YOU.
/24-37- BUT THEY WERE TERRIFIED AND AFFRIGHTED
AND SUPPOSED THAT THEY HAD SEEN A SPIRIT.
/24-38- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
WHY ARE YE TROUBLED? AND WHY DO THOUGHTS ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS?
/24-39- BEHOLD MY HANDS AND MY FEET
THAT IT IS I MYSELF- HANDLE ME
AND SEE FOR A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONES
AS YE SEE ME HAVE.
/24-40- AND WHEN HE HAD THUS SPOKEN
HE SHEWED THEM HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET.
/24-41- AND WHILE THEY YET BELIEVED NOT FOR JOY
AND WONDERED
HE SAID UNTO THEM
HAVE YE HERE ANY MEAT?
/24-42- AND THEY GAVE HIM A PIECE OF A BROILED FISH
AND OF AN HONEYCOMB.
/24-43- AND HE TOOK IT
AND DID EAT BEFORE THEM.
/24-44- AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH I SPAKE UNTO YOU
WHILE I WAS YET WITH YOU
THAT ALL THINGS MUST BE FULFILLED
WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES
AND IN THE PROPHETS
AND IN THE PSALMS
CONCERNING ME.
/24-45- THEN OPENED HE THEIR UNDERSTANDING
THAT THEY MIGHT UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES
/24-46- AND SAID UNTO THEM
THUS IT IS WRITTEN
AND THUS IT BEHOVED CHRIST TO SUFFER
AND TO RISE FROM THE DEAD THE THIRD DAY-
/24-47- AND THAT REPENTANCE AND REMISSION OF SINS SHOULD BE PREACHED IN HIS NAME AMONG ALL NATIONS
BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM.
/24-48- AND YE ARE WITNESSES OF THESE THINGS.
/24-49- AND
BEHOLD
I SEND THE PROMISE OF MY FATHER UPON YOU- BUT TARRY YE IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM
UNTIL YE BE ENDUED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH.
/24-50- AND HE LED THEM OUT AS FAR AS TO BETHANY
AND HE LIFTED UP HIS HANDS
AND BLESSED THEM.
/24-51- AND IT CAME TO PASS
WHILE HE BLESSED THEM
HE WAS PARTED FROM THEM
AND CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN.
/24-52- AND THEY WORSHIPPED HIM
AND RETURNED TO JERUSALEM WITH GREAT JOY-
/24-53- AND WERE CONTINUALLY IN THE TEMPLE
PRAISING AND BLESSING GOD. AMEN.
