Book 42 Luke
42:001:001 Forasmuch as many have
taken in hand to set forth in order a
declaration of those
things which are most surely believed
among us,
42:001:002 Even as they delivered
them unto us, which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses, and
ministers of the word;
42:001:003 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,
42:001:004 That thou mightest know
the certainty of those things, wherein
thou hast been
instructed.
42:001:005 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.
42:001:006 And they were both
righteous before God, walking in all the
commandments and
ordinances of the Lord blameless.
42:001:007 And they had no child,
because that Elisabeth was barren, and
they both were now well
stricken in years.
42:001:008 And it came to pass,
that while he executed the priest's
office before God in
the order of his course,
42:001:009 According to the custom
of the priest's office, his lot was to
burn incense when he
went into the temple of the Lord.
42:001:010 And the whole multitude
of the people were praying without at
the time of incense.
42:001:011 And there appeared unto
him an angel of the Lord standing on
the right side of the
altar of incense.
42:001:012 And when Zacharias saw
him, he was troubled, and fear fell
upon him.
42:001:013 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.
42:001:014 And thou shalt have joy
and gladness; and many shall rejoice
at his birth.
42:001:015 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.
42:001:016 And many of the
children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord
their God.
42:001:017 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.
42:001:018 And Zacharias said unto
the angel, Whereby shall I know this?
for I am an old man,
and my wife well stricken in years.
42:001:019 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.
42:001:020 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.
42:001:021 And the people waited
for Zacharias, and marvelled that he
tarried so long in the
temple.
42:001:022 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.
42:001:023 And it came to pass,
that, as soon as the days of his
ministration were
accomplished, he departed to his own house.
42:001:024 And after those days
his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid
herself five months,
saying,
42:001:025 Thus hath the Lord
dealt with me in the days wherein he looked
on me, to take away my
reproach among men.
42:001:026 And in the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent from God
unto a city of Galilee,
named Nazareth,
42:001:027 To a virgin espoused to
a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and the
virgin's name was Mary.
42:001:028 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.
42:001:029 And when she saw him,
she was troubled at his saying, and cast
in her mind what manner
of salutation this should be.
42:001:030 And the angel said unto
her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
found favour with God.
42:001:031 And, behold, thou shalt
conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
a son, and shalt call
his name JESUS.
42:001:032 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:
42:001:033 And he shall reign over
the house of Jacob for ever; and of
his kingdom there shall
be no end.
42:001:034 Then said Mary unto the
angel, How shall this be, seeing I
know not a man?
42:001:035 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.
42:001:036 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.
42:001:037 For with God nothing
shall be impossible.
42:001:038 And Mary said, Behold
the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word.
And the angel departed from her.
42:001:039 And Mary arose in those
days, and went into the hill country
with haste, into a city
of Juda;
42:001:040 And entered into the
house of Zacharias, and saluted
Elisabeth.
42:001:041 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:
42:001:042 And she spake out with
a loud voice, and said, Blessed art
thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
42:001:043 And whence is this to
me, that the mother of my Lord should
come to me?
42:001:044 For, lo, as soon as the
voice of thy salutation sounded in
mine ears, the babe
leaped in my womb for joy.
42:001:045 And blessed is she that
believed: for there shall be a
performance of those
things which were told her from the Lord.
42:001:046 And Mary said, My soul
doth magnify the Lord,
42:001:047 And my spirit hath
rejoiced in God my Saviour.
42:001:048 For he hath regarded
the low estate of his handmaiden: for,
behold, from henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed.
42:001:049 For he that is mighty
hath done to me great things; and holy
is his name.
42:001:050 And his mercy is on
them that fear him from generation to
generation.
42:001:051 He hath shewed strength
with his arm; he hath scattered the
proud in the
imagination of their hearts.
42:001:052 He hath put down the
mighty from their seats, and exalted them
of low degree.
42:001:053 He hath filled the
hungry with good things; and the rich he
hath sent empty away.
42:001:054 He hath holpen his
servant Israel, in remembrance of his
mercy;
42:001:055 As he spake to our
fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for
ever.
42:001:056 And Mary abode with her
about three months, and returned to
her own house.
42:001:057 Now Elisabeth's full
time came that she should be delivered;
and she brought forth a
son.
42:001:058 And her neighbours and
her cousins heard how the Lord had
shewed great mercy upon
her; and they rejoiced with her.
42:001:059 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.
42:001:060 And his mother answered
and said, Not so; but he shall be
called John.
42:001:061 And they said unto her,
There is none of thy kindred that is
called by this name.
42:001:062 And they made signs to
his father, how he would have him
called.
42:001:063 And he asked for a
writing table, and wrote, saying, His name
is John. And they
marvelled all.
42:001:064 And his mouth was
opened immediately, and his tongue loosed,
and he spake, and
praised God.
42:001:065 And fear came on all
that dwelt round about them: and all
these sayings were
noised abroad throughout all the hill
country of Judaea.
42:001:066 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.
42:001:067 And his father
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
prophesied, saying,
42:001:068 Blessed be the Lord God
of Israel; for he hath visited and
redeemed his people,
42:001:069 And hath raised up an
horn of salvation for us in the house of
his servant David;
42:001:070 As he spake by the
mouth of his holy prophets, which have been
since the world began:
42:001:071 That we should be saved
from our enemies, and from the hand of
all that hate us;
42:001:072 To perform the mercy
promised to our fathers, and to remember
his holy covenant;
42:001:073 The oath which he sware
to our father Abraham,
42:001:074 That he would grant
unto us, that we being delivered out of
the hand of our enemies
might serve him without fear,
42:001:075 In holiness and
righteousness before him, all the days of our
life.
42:001:076 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;
42:001:077 To give knowledge of
salvation unto his people by the
remission of their
sins,
42:001:078 Through the tender
mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
from on high hath
visited us,
42:001:079 To give light to them
that sit in darkness and in the shadow
of death, to guide our
feet into the way of peace.
42:001:080 And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, and was in the
deserts till the day of
his shewing unto Israel.
42:002:001 And it came to pass in
those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar
Augustus that all the world should be
taxed.
42:002:002 (And this taxing was
first made when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria.)
42:002:003 And all went to be
taxed, every one into his own city.
42:002:004 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:)
42:002:005 To be taxed with Mary
his espoused wife, being great with
child.
42:002:006 And so it was, that,
while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she
should be delivered.
42:002:007 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.
42:002:008 And there were in the
same country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch
over their flock by night.
42:002:009 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.
42:002:010 And the angel said unto
them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people.
42:002:011 For unto you is born
this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the
Lord.
42:002:012 And this shall be a
sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger.
42:002:013 And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising
God, and saying,
42:002:014 Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.
42:002:015 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.
42:002:016 And they came with
haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in a manger.
42:002:017 And when they had seen
it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them
concerning this child.
42:002:018 And all they that heard
it wondered at those things which were
told them by the
shepherds.
42:002:019 But Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in her
heart.
42:002:020 And the shepherds
returned, glorifying and praising God for
all the things that
they had heard and seen, as it was told
unto them.
42:002:021 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.
42:002:022 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;
42:002:023 (As it is written in
the law of the LORD, Every male that
openeth the womb shall
be called holy to the Lord;)
42:002:024 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.
42:002:025 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.
42:002:026 And it was revealed
unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should
not see death, before
he had seen the Lord's Christ.
42:002:027 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,
42:002:028 Then took he him up in
his arms, and blessed God, and said,
42:002:029 Lord, now lettest thou
thy servant depart in peace, according
to thy word:
42:002:030 For mine eyes have seen
thy salvation,
42:002:031 Which thou hast
prepared before the face of all people;
42:002:032 A light to lighten the
Gentiles, and the glory of thy people
Israel.
42:002:033 And Joseph and his
mother marvelled at those things which were
spoken of him.
42:002:034 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;
42:002:035 (Yea, a sword shall
pierce through thy own soul also,) that
the thoughts of many
hearts may be revealed.
42:002:036 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;
42:002:037 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.
42:002:038 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.
42:002:039 And when they had
performed all things according to the law of
the Lord, they returned
into Galilee, to their own city
Nazareth.
42:002:040 And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, filled with
wisdom: and the grace
of God was upon him.
42:002:041 Now his parents went to
Jerusalem every year at the feast of
the passover.
42:002:042 And when he was twelve
years old, they went up to Jerusalem
after the custom of the
feast.
42:002:043 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.
42:002:044 But they, supposing him
to have been in the company, went a
day's journey; and they
sought him among their kinsfolk and
acquaintance.
42:002:045 And when they found him
not, they turned back again to
Jerusalem, seeking him.
42:002:046 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.
42:002:047 And all that heard him
were astonished at his understanding
and answers.
42:002:048 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.
42:002:049 And he said unto them,
How is it that ye sought me? wist ye
not that I must be
about my Father's business?
42:002:050 And they understood not
the saying which he spake unto them.
42:002:051 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.
42:002:052 And Jesus increased in
wisdom and stature, and in favour with
God and man.
42:003:001 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,
42:003:002 Annas and Caiaphas
being the high priests, the word of God
came unto John the son
of Zacharias in the wilderness.
42:003:003 And he came into all
the country about Jordan, preaching the
baptism of repentance
for the remission of sins;
42:003:004 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.
42:003:005 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;
42:003:006 And all flesh shall see
the salvation of God.
42:003:007 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?
42:003:008 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.
42:003:009 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.
42:003:010 And the people asked
him, saying, What shall we do then?
42:003:011 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.
42:003:012 Then came also
publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,
Master, what shall we
do?
42:003:013 And he said unto them,
Exact no more than that which is
appointed you.
42:003:014 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.
42:003:015 And as the people were
in expectation, and all men mused in
their hearts of John,
whether he were the Christ, or not;
42:003:016 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:
42:003:017 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.
42:003:018 And many other things
in his exhortation preached he unto the
people.
42:003:019 But Herod the tetrarch,
being reproved by him for Herodias his
brother Philip's wife,
and for all the evils which Herod had
done,
42:003:020 Added yet this above
all, that he shut up John in prison.
42:003:021 Now when all the people
were baptized, it came to pass, that
Jesus also being
baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
42:003:022 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.
42:003:023 And Jesus himself began
to be about thirty years of age, being
(as was supposed) the
son of Joseph, which was the son of
Heli,
42:003:024 Which was the son of
Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which
was the son of Melchi,
which was the son of Janna, which was
the son of Joseph,
42:003:025 Which was the son of
Mattathias, which was the son of Amos,

Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which

Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel,

42:003:028 Which was the son of
Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which
was the son of Cosam,
which was the son of Elmodam, which was
the son of Er,
42:003:029 Which was the son of
Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which
was the son of Jorim,
which was the son of Matthat, which was
the son of Levi,
42:003:030 Which was the son of
Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which
was the son of Joseph,
which was the son of Jonan, which was
the son of Eliakim,
42:003:031 Which was the son of
Melea, which was the son of Menan, which
was the son of Mattatha,
which was the son of Nathan, which
was the son of David,
42:003:032 Which was the son of
Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which
was the son of Booz,
which was the son of Salmon, which was
the son of Naasson,
42:003:033 Which was the son of
Aminadab, which was the son of Aram,
which was the son of
Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which
was the son of Juda,
42:003:034 Which was the son of
Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which
was the son of Abraham,
which was the son of Thara, which was
the son of Nachor,
42:003:035 Which was the son of
Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which
was the son of Phalec,
which was the son of Heber, which was
the son of Sala,
42:003:036 Which was the son of
Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad,
which was the son of
Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was
the son of Lamech,
42:003:037 Which was the son of
Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch,
which was the son of
Jared, which was the son of Maleleel,
which was the son of
Cainan,
42:003:038 Which was the son of
Enos, which was the son of Seth, which
was the son of Adam,
which was the son of God.
42:004:001 And Jesus being full of
the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
and was led by the
Spirit into the wilderness,
42:004:002 Being forty days
tempted of the devil. And in those days he
did eat nothing: and
when they were ended, he afterward
hungered.
42:004:003 And the devil said unto
him, If thou be the Son of God,
command this stone that
it be made bread.
42:004:004 And Jesus answered him,
saying, It is written, That man shall
not live by bread
alone, but by every word of God.
42:004:005 And the devil, taking
him up into an high mountain, shewed
unto him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
42:004:006 And the devil said unto
him, All this power will I give thee,
and the glory of them:
for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I
give it.
42:004:007 If thou therefore wilt
worship me, all shall be thine.
42:004:008 And Jesus answered and
said unto him, Get thee behind me,
Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou
serve.
42:004:009 And he brought him to
Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of
the temple, and said
unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down from
hence:
42:004:010 For it is written, He
shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee:
42:004:011 And in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time
thou dash thy foot
against a stone.
42:004:012 And Jesus answering
said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God.
42:004:013 And when the devil had
ended all the temptation, he departed
from him for a season.
42:004:014 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.
42:004:015 And he taught in their
synagogues, being glorified of all.
42:004:016 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.
42:004:017 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,
42:004:018 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,
42:004:019 To preach the
acceptable year of the Lord.
42:004:020 And he closed the book,
and he gave it again to the minister,
and sat down. And the
eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened
on him.
42:004:021 And he began to say
unto them, This day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears.
42:004:022 And all bare him
witness, and wondered at the gracious words
which proceeded out of
his mouth. And they said, Is not this
Joseph's son?
42:004:023 And he said unto them,
Ye will surely say unto me this
proverb, Physician,
heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard
done in Capernaum, do
also here in thy country.
42:004:024 And he said, Verily I
say unto you, No prophet is accepted in
his own country.
42:004:025 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;
42:004:026 But unto none of them
was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a
city of Sidon, unto a
woman that was a widow.
42:004:027 And many lepers were in
Israel in the time of Eliseus the
prophet; and none of
them was cleansed, saving Naaman the
Syrian.
42:004:028 And all they in the
synagogue, when they heard these things,
were filled with wrath,
42:004:029 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.
42:004:030 But he passing through
the midst of them went his way,
42:004:031 And came down to
Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them
on the sabbath days.
42:004:032 And they were
astonished at his doctrine: for his word was
with power.
42:004:033 And in the synagogue
there was a man, which had a spirit of an
unclean devil, and
cried out with a loud voice,
42:004:034 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.
42:004:035 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.
42:004:036 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.
42:004:037 And the fame of him
went out into every place of the country
round about.
42:004:038 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.
42:004:039 And he stood over her,
and rebuked the fever; and it left her:
and immediately she
arose and ministered unto them.
42:004:040 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.
42:004:041 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.
42:004:042 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.
42:004:043 And he said unto them,
I must preach the kingdom of God to
other cities also: for
therefore am I sent.
42:004:044 And he preached in the
synagogues of Galilee.
42:005:001 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,
42:005:002 And saw two ships
standing by the lake: but the fishermen were
gone out of them, and
were washing their nets.
42:005:003 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.
42:005:004 Now when he had left
speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out
into the deep, and let
down your nets for a draught.
42:005:005 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.
42:005:006 And when they had this
done, they inclosed a great multitude
of fishes: and their
net brake.
42:005:007 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.
42:005:008 When Simon Peter saw
it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
Depart from me; for I
am a sinful man, O Lord.
42:005:009 For he was astonished,
and all that were with him, at the
draught of the fishes
which they had taken:
42:005:010 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.
42:005:011 And when they had
brought their ships to land, they forsook
all, and followed him.
42:005:012 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.
42:005:013 And he put forth his
hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be
thou clean. And
immediately the leprosy departed from him.
42:005:014 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.
42:005:015 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.
42:005:016 And he withdrew himself
into the wilderness, and prayed.
42:005:017 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.
42:005:018 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.
42:005:019 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.
42:005:020 And when he saw their
faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins
are forgiven thee.
42:005:021 And the scribes and the
Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who
is this which speaketh
blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but
God alone?
42:005:022 But when Jesus
perceived their thoughts, he answering said
unto them, What reason
ye in your hearts?
42:005:023 Whether is easier, to
say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
say, Rise up and walk?
42:005:024 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.
42:005:025 And immediately he rose
up before them, and took up that
whereon he lay, and
departed to his own house, glorifying God.
42:005:026 And they were all
amazed, and they glorified God, and were
filled with fear,
saying, We have seen strange things to day.
42:005:027 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.
42:005:028 And he left all, rose
up, and followed him.
42:005:029 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.
42:005:030 But their scribes and
Pharisees murmured against his
disciples, saying, Why
do ye eat and drink with publicans and
sinners?
42:005:031 And Jesus answering
said unto them, They that are whole need
not a physician; but
they that are sick.
42:005:032 I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
42:005:033 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?
42:005:034 And he said unto them,
Can ye make the children of the
bridechamber fast,
while the bridegroom is with them?
42:005:035 But the days will come,
when the bridegroom shall be taken
away from them, and
then shall they fast in those days.
42:005:036 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.
42:005:037 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.
42:005:038 But new wine must be
put into new bottles; and both are
preserved.
42:005:039 No man also having
drunk old wine straightway desireth new:
for he saith, The old
is better.
42:006:001 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.
42:006:002 And certain of the
Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that
which is not lawful to
do on the sabbath days?
42:006:003 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;
42:006:004 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?
42:006:005 And he said unto them,
That the Son of man is Lord also of the
sabbath.
42:006:006 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.
42:006:007 And the scribes and
Pharisees watched him, whether he would
heal on the sabbath
day; that they might find an accusation
against him.
42:006:008 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.
42:006:009 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?
42:006:010 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.
42:006:011 And they were filled
with madness; and communed one with
another what they might
do to Jesus.
42:006:012 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.
42:006:013 And when it was day, he
called unto him his disciples: and of
them he chose twelve,
whom also he named apostles;
42:006:014 Simon, (whom he also
named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
James and John, Philip
and Bartholomew,
42:006:015 Matthew and Thomas,
James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
called Zelotes,
42:006:016 And Judas the brother
of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also
was the traitor.
42:006:017 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;
42:006:018 And they that were
vexed with unclean spirits: and they were
healed.
42:006:019 And the whole multitude
sought to touch him: for there went
virtue out of him, and
healed them all.
42:006:020 And he lifted up his
eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
be ye poor: for yours
is the kingdom of God.
42:006:021 Blessed are ye that
hunger now: for ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that
weep now: for ye shall laugh.
42:006:022 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.
42:006:023 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.
42:006:024 But woe unto you that
are rich! for ye have received your
consolation.
42:006:025 Woe unto you that are
full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
that laugh now! for ye
shall mourn and weep.
42:006:026 Woe unto you, when all
men shall speak well of you! for so did
their fathers to the
false prophets.
42:006:027 But I say unto you
which hear, Love your enemies, do good to
them which hate you,
42:006:028 Bless them that curse
you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you.
42:006:029 And unto him that
smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the
other; and him that
taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take
thy coat also.
42:006:030 Give to every man that
asketh of thee; and of him that taketh
away thy goods ask them
not again.
42:006:031 And as ye would that
men should do to you, do ye also to them
likewise.
42:006:032 For if ye love them
which love you, what thank have ye? for
sinners also love those
that love them.
42:006:033 And if ye do good to
them which do good to you, what thank
have ye? for sinners
also do even the same.
42:006:034 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.
42:006:035 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.
42:006:036 Be ye therefore
merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
42:006:037 Judge not, and ye shall
not be judged: condemn not, and ye
shall not be condemned:
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
42:006:038 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.
42:006:039 And he spake a parable
unto them, Can the blind lead the
blind? shall they not
both fall into the ditch?
42:006:040 The disciple is not
above his master: but every one that is
perfect shall be as his
master.
42:006:041 And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but perceivest not the
beam that is in thine own eye?
42:006:042 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.
42:006:043 For a good tree
bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth
a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit.
42:006:044 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.
42:006:045 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.
42:006:046 And why call ye me,
Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I
say?
42:006:047 Whosoever cometh to me,
and heareth my sayings, and doeth
them, I will shew you
to whom he is like:
42:006:048 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.
42:006:049 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.
42:007:001 Now when he had ended
all his sayings in the audience of the
people, he entered into
Capernaum.
42:007:002 And a certain
centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was
sick, and ready to die.
42:007:003 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.
42:007:004 And when they came to
Jesus, they besought him instantly,
saying, That he was
worthy for whom he should do this:
42:007:005 For he loveth our
nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
42:007:006 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:
42:007:007 Wherefore neither
thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:
but say in a word, and
my servant shall be healed.
42:007:008 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.
42:007:009 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.
42:007:010 And they that were
sent, returning to the house, found the
servant whole that had
been sick.
42:007:011 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.
42:007:012 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.
42:007:013 And when the Lord saw
her, he had compassion on her, and said
unto her, Weep not.
42:007:014 And he came and touched
the bier: and they that bare him stood
still. And he said,
Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
42:007:015 And he that was dead
sat up, and began to speak. And he
delivered him to his
mother.
42:007:016 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.
42:007:017 And this rumour of him
went forth throughout all Judaea, and
throughout all the
region round about.
42:007:018 And the disciples of
John shewed him of all these things.
42:007:019 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?
42:007:020 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?
42:007:021 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.
42:007:022 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.
42:007:023 And blessed is he,
whosoever shall not be offended in me.
42:007:024 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?
42:007:025 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.
42:007:026 But what went ye out
for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto
you, and much more than
a prophet.
42:007:027 This is he, of whom it
is written, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which
shall prepare thy way before thee.
42:007:028 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.
42:007:029 And all the people that
heard him, and the publicans,
justified God, being
baptized with the baptism of John.
42:007:030 But the Pharisees and
lawyers rejected the counsel of God
against themselves,
being not baptized of him.
42:007:031 And the Lord said,
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of
this generation? and to
what are they like?
42:007:032 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.
42:007:033 For John the Baptist
came neither eating bread nor drinking
wine; and ye say, He
hath a devil.
42:007:034 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!
42:007:035 But wisdom is justified
of all her children.
42:007:036 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.
42:007:037 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,
42:007:038 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.
42:007:039 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.
42:007:040 And Jesus answering
said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to
say unto thee. And he
saith, Master, say on.
42:007:041 There was a certain
creditor which had two debtors: the one
owed five hundred
pence, and the other fifty.
42:007:042 And when they had
nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
both. Tell me
therefore, which of them will love him most?
42:007:043 Simon answered and
said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave
most. And he said unto
him, Thou hast rightly judged.
42:007:044 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.
42:007:045 Thou gavest me no kiss:
but this woman since the time I came
in hath not ceased to
kiss my feet.
42:007:046 My head with oil thou
didst not anoint: but this woman hath
anointed my feet with
ointment.
42:007:047 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.
42:007:048 And he said unto her,
Thy sins are forgiven.
42:007:049 And they that sat at
meat with him began to say within
themselves, Who is this
that forgiveth sins also?
42:007:050 And he said to the
woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in
peace.
42:008:001 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,
42:008:002 And certain women,
which had been healed of evil spirits and
infirmities, Mary
called Magdalene, out of whom went seven
devils,
42:008:003 And Joanna the wife of
Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and
many others, which
ministered unto him of their substance.
42:008:004 And when much people
were gathered together, and were come to
him out of every city,
he spake by a parable:
42:008:005 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.
42:008:006 And some fell upon a
rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
withered away, because
it lacked moisture.
42:008:007 And some fell among
thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it,
and choked it.
42:008:008 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.
42:008:009 And his disciples asked
him, saying, What might this parable
be?
42:008:010 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.
42:008:011 Now the parable is
this: The seed is the word of God.
42:008:012 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.
42:008:013 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.
42:008:014 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.
42:008:015 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.
42:008:016 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.
42:008:017 For nothing is secret,
that shall not be made manifest;
neither any thing hid,
that shall not be known and come
abroad.
42:008:018 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.
42:008:019 Then came to him his
mother and his brethren, and could not
come at him for the
press.
42:008:020 And it was told him by
certain which said, Thy mother and thy
brethren stand without,
desiring to see thee.
42:008:021 And he answered and
said unto them, My mother and my brethren
are these which hear
the word of God, and do it.
42:008:022 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.
42:008:023 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.
42:008:024 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.
42:008:025 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.
42:008:026 And they arrived at the
country of the Gadarenes, which is
over against Galilee.
42:008:027 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.
42:008:028 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.
42:008:029 (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.)
42:008:030 And Jesus asked him,
saying, What is thy name? And he said,
Legion: because many
devils were entered into him.
42:008:031 And they besought him
that he would not command them to go out
into the deep.
42:008:032 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.
42:008:033 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.
42:008:034 When they that fed them
saw what was done, they fled, and went
and told it in the city
and in the country.
42:008:035 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.
42:008:036 They also which saw it
told them by what means he that was
possessed of the devils
was healed.
42:008:037 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.
42:008:038 Now the man out of whom
the devils were departed besought him
that he might be with
him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
42:008:039 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.
42:008:040 And it came to pass,
that, when Jesus was returned, the people
gladly received him:
for they were all waiting for him.
42:008:041 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:
42:008:042 For he had one only
daughter, about twelve years of age, and
she lay a dying. But as
he went the people thronged him.
42:008:043 And a woman having an
issue of blood twelve years, which had
spent all her living
upon physicians, neither could be healed
of any,
42:008:044 Came behind him, and
touched the border of his garment: and
immediately her issue
of blood stanched.
42:008:045 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?
42:008:046 And Jesus said,
Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that
virtue is gone out of
me.
42:008:047 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.
42:008:048 And he said unto her,
Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith
hath made thee whole;
go in peace.
42:008:049 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.
42:008:050 But when Jesus heard
it, he answered him, saying, Fear not:
believe only, and she
shall be made whole.
42:008:051 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.
42:008:052 And all wept, and
bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is
not dead, but sleepeth.
42:008:053 And they laughed him to
scorn, knowing that she was dead.
42:008:054 And he put them all
out, and took her by the hand, and called,
saying, Maid, arise.
42:008:055 And her spirit came
again, and she arose straightway: and he
commanded to give her
meat.
42:008:056 And her parents were
astonished: but he charged them that they
should tell no man what
was done.
42:009:001 Then he called his
twelve disciples together, and gave them
power and authority
over all devils, and to cure diseases.
42:009:002 And he sent them to
preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the
sick.
42:009:003 And he said unto them,
Take nothing for your journey, neither
staves, nor scrip,
neither bread, neither money; neither have
two coats apiece.
42:009:004 And whatsoever house ye
enter into, there abide, and thence
depart.
42:009:005 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.
42:009:006 And they departed, and
went through the towns, preaching the
gospel, and healing
every where.
42:009:007 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;
42:009:008 And of some, that Elias
had appeared; and of others, that one
of the old prophets was
risen again.
42:009:009 And Herod said, John
have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom
I hear such things? And
he desired to see him.
42:009:010 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.
42:009:011 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.
42:009:012 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.
42:009:013 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.
42:009:014 For they were about
five thousand men. And he said to his
disciples, Make them
sit down by fifties in a company.
42:009:015 And they did so, and
made them all sit down.
42:009:016 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.
42:009:017 And they did eat, and
were all filled: and there was taken up
of fragments that
remained to them twelve baskets.
42:009:018 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?
42:009:019 They answering said,
John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;
and others say, that
one of the old prophets is risen again.
42:009:020 He said unto them, But
whom say ye that I am? Peter answering
said, The Christ of
God.
42:009:021 And he straitly charged
them, and commanded them to tell no
man that thing;
42:009:022 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.
42:009:023 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.
42:009:024 For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it: but whosoever
will lose his life for
my sake, the same shall save it.
42:009:025 For what is a man
advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and
lose himself, or be
cast away?
42:009:026 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.
42:009:027 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.
42:009:028 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.
42:009:029 And as he prayed, the
fashion of his countenance was altered,
and his raiment was
white and glistering.
42:009:030 And, behold, there
talked with him two men, which were Moses
and Elias:
42:009:031 Who appeared in glory,
and spake of his decease which he
should accomplish at
Jerusalem.
42:009:032 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.
42:009:033 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.
42:009:034 While he thus spake,
there came a cloud, and overshadowed
them: and they feared
as they entered into the cloud.
42:009:035 And there came a voice
out of the cloud, saying, This is my
beloved Son: hear him.
42:009:036 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.
42:009:037 And it came to pass,
that on the next day, when they were come
down from the hill,
much people met him.
42:009:038 And, behold, a man of
the company cried out, saying, Master, I
beseech thee, look upon
my son: for he is mine only child.
42:009:039 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.
42:009:040 And I besought thy
disciples to cast him out; and they could
not.
42:009:041 And Jesus answering
said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be
with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son
hither.
42:009:042 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.
42:009:043 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,
42:009:044 Let these sayings sink
down into your ears: for the Son of man
shall be delivered into
the hands of men.
42:009:045 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.
42:009:046 Then there arose a
reasoning among them, which of them should
be greatest.
42:009:047 And Jesus, perceiving
the thought of their heart, took a
child, and set him by
him,
42:009:048 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.
42:009:049 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.
42:009:050 And Jesus said unto
him, Forbid him not: for he that is not
against us is for us.
42:009:051 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,
42:009:052 And sent messengers
before his face: and they went, and
entered into a village
of the Samaritans, to make ready for
him.
42:009:053 And they did not
receive him, because his face was as though
he would go to
Jerusalem.
42:009:054 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?
42:009:055 But he turned, and
rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what
manner of spirit ye are
of.
42:009:056 For the Son of man is
not come to destroy men's lives, but to
save them. And they
went to another village.
42:009:057 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.
42:009:058 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.
42:009:059 And he said unto
another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer
me first to go and bury
my father.
42:009:060 Jesus said unto him,
Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou
and preach the kingdom
of God.
42:009:061 And another also said,
Lord, I will follow thee; but let me
first go bid them
farewell, which are at home at my house.
42:009:062 And Jesus said unto
him, No man, having put his hand to the
plough, and looking
back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
42:010:001 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.
42:010:002 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.
42:010:003 Go your ways: behold, I
send you forth as lambs among wolves.
42:010:004 Carry neither purse,
nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man
by the way.
42:010:005 And into whatsoever
house ye enter, first say, Peace be to
this house.
42:010:006 And if the son of peace
be there, your peace shall rest upon
it: if not, it shall
turn to you again.
42:010:007 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.
42:010:008 And into whatsoever
city ye enter, and they receive you, eat
such things as are set
before you:
42:010:009 And heal the sick that
are therein, and say unto them, The
kingdom of God is come
nigh unto you.
42:010:010 But into whatsoever
city ye enter, and they receive you not,
go your ways out into
the streets of the same, and say,
42:010:011 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.
42:010:012 But I say unto you,
that it shall be more tolerable in that
day for Sodom, than for
that city.
42:010:013 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.
42:010:014 But it shall be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the
judgment, than for you.
42:010:015 And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted to heaven, shalt be
thrust down to hell.
42:010:016 He that heareth you
heareth me; and he that despiseth you
despiseth me; and he
that despiseth me despiseth him that sent
me.
42:010:017 And the seventy
returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even
the devils are subject
unto us through thy name.
42:010:018 And he said unto them,
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from
heaven.
42:010:019 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.
42:010:020 Notwithstanding in this
rejoice not, that the spirits are
subject unto you; but
rather rejoice, because your names are
written in heaven.
42:010:021 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.
42:010:022 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.
42:010:023 And he turned him unto
his disciples, and said privately,
Blessed are the eyes
which see the things that ye see:
42:010:024 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.
42:010:025 And, behold, a certain
lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
saying, Master, what
shall I do to inherit eternal life?
42:010:026 He said unto him, What
is written in the law? how readest
thou?
42:010:027 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.
42:010:028 And he said unto him,
Thou hast answered right: this do, and
thou shalt live.
42:010:029 But he, willing to
justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who
is my neighbour?
42:010:030 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.
42:010:031 And by chance there
came down a certain priest that way: and
when he saw him, he
passed by on the other side.
42:010:032 And likewise a Levite,
when he was at the place, came and
looked on him, and
passed by on the other side.
42:010:033 But a certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:
and when he saw him, he
had compassion on him,
42:010:034 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.
42:010:035 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.
42:010:036 Which now of these
three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto
him that fell among the
thieves?
42:010:037 And he said, He that
shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto
him, Go, and do thou
likewise.
42:010:038 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.
42:010:039 And she had a sister
called Mary, which also sat at Jesus'
feet, and heard his
word.
42:010:040 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.
42:010:041 And Jesus answered and
said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art
careful and troubled
about many things:
42:010:042 But one thing is
needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be
taken away from her.
42:011:001 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.
42:011:002 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.
42:011:003 Give us day by day our
daily bread.
42:011:004 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.
42:011:005 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;
42:011:006 For a friend of mine in
his journey is come to me, and I have
nothing to set before
him?
42:011:007 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.
42:011:008 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.
42:011:009 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.
42:011:010 For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened.
42:011:011 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?
42:011:012 Or if he shall ask an
egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
42:011:013 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?
42:011:014 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.
42:011:015 But some of them said,
He casteth out devils through Beelzebub
the chief of the
devils.
42:011:016 And others, tempting
him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
42:011:017 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.
42:011:018 If Satan also be
divided against himself, how shall his
kingdom stand? because
ye say that I cast out devils through
Beelzebub.
42:011:019 And if I by Beelzebub
cast out devils, by whom do your sons
cast them out?
therefore shall they be your judges.
42:011:020 But if I with the
finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the
kingdom of God is come
upon you.
42:011:021 When a strong man armed
keepeth his palace, his goods are in
peace:
42:011:022 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.
42:011:023 He that is not with me
is against me: and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth.
42:011:024 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.
42:011:025 And when he cometh, he
findeth it swept and garnished.
42:011:026 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.
42:011:027 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.
42:011:028 But he said, Yea
rather, blessed are they that hear the word
of God, and keep it.
42:011:029 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.
42:011:030 For as Jonas was a sign
unto the Ninevites, so shall also the
Son of man be to this
generation.
42:011:031 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.
42:011:032 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.
42:011:033 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.
42:011:034 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.
42:011:035 Take heed therefore
that the light which is in thee be not
darkness.
42:011:036 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.
42:011:037 And as he spake, a
certain Pharisee besought him to dine with
him: and he went in,
and sat down to meat.
42:011:038 And when the Pharisee
saw it, he marvelled that he had not
first washed before
dinner.
42:011:039 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.
42:011:040 Ye fools, did not he
that made that which is without make that
which is within also?
42:011:041 But rather give alms of
such things as ye have; and, behold,
all things are clean
unto you.
42:011:042 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.
42:011:043 Woe unto you,
Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in
the synagogues, and
greetings in the markets.
42:011:044 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.
42:011:045 Then answered one of
the lawyers, and said unto him, Master,
thus saying thou
reproachest us also.
42:011:046 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.
42:011:047 Woe unto you! for ye
build the sepulchres of the prophets, and
your fathers killed
them.
42:011:048 Truly ye bear witness
that ye allow the deeds of your fathers:
for they indeed killed
them, and ye build their sepulchres.
42:011:049 Therefore also said the
wisdom of God, I will send them
prophets and apostles,
and some of them they shall slay and
persecute:
42:011:050 That the blood of all
the prophets, which was shed from the
foundation of the
world, may be required of this generation;
42:011:051 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.
42:011:052 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.
42:011:053 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:
42:011:054 Laying wait for him,
and seeking to catch something out of his
mouth, that they might
accuse him.
42:012:001 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.
42:012:002 For there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed;
neither hid, that shall
not be known.
42:012:003 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.
42:012:004 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.
42:012:005 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.
42:012:006 Are not five sparrows
sold for two farthings, and not one of
them is forgotten
before God?
42:012:007 But even the very hairs
of your head are all numbered. Fear
not therefore: ye are
of more value than many sparrows.
42:012:008 Also I say unto you,
Whosoever shall confess me before men,
him shall the Son of
man also confess before the angels of
God:
42:012:009 But he that denieth me
before men shall be denied before the
angels of God.
42:012:010 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.
42:012:011 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:
42:012:012 For the Holy Ghost
shall teach you in the same hour what ye
ought to say.
42:012:013 And one of the company
said unto him, Master, speak to my
brother, that he divide
the inheritance with me.
42:012:014 And he said unto him,
Man, who made me a judge or a divider
over you?
42:012:015 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.
42:012:016 And he spake a parable
unto them, saying, The ground of a
certain rich man
brought forth plentifully:
42:012:017 And he thought within
himself, saying, What shall I do,
because I have no room
where to bestow my fruits?
42:012:018 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.
42:012:019 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.
42:012:020 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?
42:012:021 So is he that layeth up
treasure for himself, and is not rich
toward God.
42:012:022 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.
42:012:023 The life is more than
meat, and the body is more than raiment.
42:012:024 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?
42:012:025 And which of you with
taking thought can add to his stature
one cubit?
42:012:026 If ye then be not able
to do that thing which is least, why
take ye thought for the
rest?
42:012:027 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.
42:012:028 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?
42:012:029 And seek not ye what ye
shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
neither be ye of
doubtful mind.
42:012:030 For all these things do
the nations of the world seek after:
and your Father knoweth
that ye have need of these things.
42:012:031 But rather seek ye the
kingdom of God; and all these things
shall be added unto
you.
42:012:032 Fear not, little flock;
for it is your Father's good pleasure
to give you the
kingdom.
42:012:033 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.
42:012:034 For where your treasure
is, there will your heart be also.
42:012:035 Let your loins be
girded about, and your lights burning;
42:012:036 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.
42:012:037 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.
42:012:038 And if he shall come in
the second watch, or come in the third
watch, and find them
so, blessed are those servants.
42:012:039 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.
42:012:040 Be ye therefore ready
also: for the Son of man cometh at an
hour when ye think not.
42:012:041 Then Peter said unto
him, Lord, speakest thou this parable
unto us, or even to
all?
42:012:042 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?
42:012:043 Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing.
42:012:044 Of a truth I say unto
you, that he will make him ruler over
all that he hath.
42:012:045 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;
42:012:046 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.
42:012:047 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.
42:012:048 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.
42:012:049 I am come to send fire
on the earth; and what will I, if it be
already kindled?
42:012:050 But I have a baptism to
be baptized with; and how am I
straitened till it be
accomplished!
42:012:051 Suppose ye that I am
come to give peace on earth? I tell you,
Nay; but rather
division:
42:012:052 For from henceforth
there shall be five in one house divided,
three against two, and
two against three.
42:012:053 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.
42:012:054 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.
42:012:055 And when ye see the
south wind blow, ye say, There will be
heat; and it cometh to
pass.
42:012:056 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?
42:012:057 Yea, and why even of
yourselves judge ye not what is right?
42:012:058 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.
42:012:059 I tell thee, thou shalt
not depart thence, till thou hast paid
the very last mite.
42:013:001 There were present at
that season some that told him of the
Galilaeans, whose blood
Pilate had mingled with their
sacrifices.
42:013:002 And Jesus answering
said unto them, Suppose ye that these
Galilaeans were sinners
above all the Galilaeans, because they
suffered such things?
42:013:003 I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.
42:013:004 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?
42:013:005 I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.
42:013:006 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.
42:013:007 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?
42:013:008 And he answering said
unto him, Lord, let it alone this year
also, till I shall dig
about it, and dung it:
42:013:009 And if it bear fruit,
well: and if not, then after that thou
shalt cut it down.
42:013:010 And he was teaching in
one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
42:013:011 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.
42:013:012 And when Jesus saw her,
he called her to him, and said unto
her, Woman, thou art
loosed from thine infirmity.
42:013:013 And he laid his hands
on her: and immediately she was made
straight, and glorified
God.
42:013:014 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.
42:013:015 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?
42:013:016 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?
42:013:017 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.
42:013:018 Then said he, Unto what
is the kingdom of God like? and
whereunto shall I
resemble it?
42:013:019 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.
42:013:020 And again he said,
Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
42:013:021 It is like leaven,
which a woman took and hid in three
measures of meal, till
the whole was leavened.
42:013:022 And he went through the
cities and villages, teaching, and
journeying toward
Jerusalem.
42:013:023 Then said one unto him,
Lord, are there few that be saved? And
he said unto them,
42:013:024 Strive to enter in at
the strait gate: for many, I say unto
you, will seek to enter
in, and shall not be able.
42:013:025 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:
42:013:026 Then shall ye begin to
say, We have eaten and drunk in thy
presence, and thou hast
taught in our streets.
42:013:027 But he shall say, I
tell you, I know you not whence ye are;
depart from me, all ye
workers of iniquity.
42:013:028 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.
42:013:029 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.
42:013:030 And, behold, there are
last which shall be first, and there
are first which shall
be last.
42:013:031 The same day there came
certain of the Pharisees, saying unto
him, Get thee out, and
depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
42:013:032 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.
42:013:033 Nevertheless I must
walk to day, and to morrow, and the day
following: for it
cannot be that a prophet perish out of
Jerusalem.
42:013:034 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!
42:013:035 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.
42:014:001 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.
42:014:002 And, behold, there was
a certain man before him which had the
dropsy.
42:014:003 And Jesus answering
spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees,
saying, Is it lawful to
heal on the sabbath day?
42:014:004 And they held their
peace. And he took him, and healed him,
and let him go;
42:014:005 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?
42:014:006 And they could not
answer him again to these things.
42:014:007 And he put forth a
parable to those which were bidden, when he
marked how they chose
out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
42:014:008 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;
42:014:009 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.
42:014:010 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.
42:014:011 For whosoever exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that
humbleth himself shall
be exalted.
42:014:012 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.
42:014:013 But when thou makest a
feast, call the poor, the maimed, the
lame, the blind:
