The Gospel According To Luke
1:1 Since many have taken in hand to set
forth in order a declaration
of those things which are most surely believed
among us,
1:2 Just 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
you in order, most excellent
Theophilus,
1:4 That you might know the certainty of
those things, in which you
have 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 Elisabeth
was barren, and they both
were now well advanced 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 outside 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 your prayer
is heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall
bear you a son, and you shall
call his name John.
1:14 And you shall 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 Elijah, 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,
How shall I know this? for I
am an old man, and my wife well advanced
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 you, and to show you
these glad tidings.
1:20 And, behold, you shall be dumb, and
not able to speak, until the
day that these things shall be performed,
because you believe not my
words, which shall be fulfilled in their
appropriate time.
1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias,
and wondered why 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 has the Lord dealt with me in
the days in which 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, you that are
highly favored, the Lord is with you: blessed
are you 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 you have found
favor with God.
1:31 And, behold, you shall conceive in
your womb, and bring forth a
son, and shall 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 forever; 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 you, and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow you:
therefore also that holy thing which shall
be born of you shall be
called the Son of God.
1:36 And, behold, your cousin Elisabeth,
she has 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 your 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 spoke out with a loud voice,
and said, Blessed are you
among women, and blessed is the fruit of
your womb.
1:43 And why is this to me, that the mother
of my Lord should come to
me?
1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of your
salutation sounded in my
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 does magnify
the Lord, 1:47 And my spirit
has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
1:48 For he has regarded the low estate
of his handmaiden: for,
behold, from henceforth all generations
shall call me blessed.
1:49 For he that is mighty has 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 has showed strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud
in the imagination of their hearts.
1:52 He has put down the mighty from their
seats, and exalted them of
low degree.
1:53 He has filled the hungry with good
things; and the rich he has
sent empty away.
1:54 He has helped his servant Israel, in
remembrance of his mercy;
1:55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham,
and to his seed forever.
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 neighbors and her cousins heard
how the Lord had showed
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 your 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 spoke, and praised God.
1:65 And fear came on all that dwelled round
about them: and all these
sayings were reported 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 has visited and
redeemed his people,
1:69 And has raised up a horn of salvation
for us in the house of his
servant David;
1:70 As he spoke 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 helped 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 you, child, shall be called the
prophet of the Highest: for
you shall 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 has 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 grew strong
in spirit, and was in the
deserted places till the day of his appearance
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 registered.
2:2 (And this registration was first made
when Cyrenius was governor
of Syria.)
2:3 And all went to be registered, 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 registered 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 intensely 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;
You 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
has 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 opens
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 let your servant depart in peace,
according to your word:
2:30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
2:31 Which you have
prepared before the face of all people;
2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and
the glory of your 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 (Yes, a sword shall pierce through
your 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 a
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 spoke 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 grew 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 did not
know 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 teachers,
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 have you thus dealt with us?
behold, your father and I
have sought you sorrowing.
2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that
you sought me? know you not
that I must be about my Father's business?
2:50 And they understood not the saying
which he spoke 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 favor 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 around
the Jordan, preaching the
baptism of repentance for the remission
of sins;
3:4 As it is written in the book of the
words of Isaiah the prophet,
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare you 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 has 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 does not bring 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
answers and says unto them, He that has
two coats, let him give to him
that has none; and he that has food, 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 comes, 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
thoroughly 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, You are my beloved Son;
in you I am well pleased.
3:23 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,
3:24 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,
3:25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which
was the son of Amos, which
was the son of Naum, which was the son of

the son of Neri,
3:28 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,
3:29 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,
3:30 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,
3:31 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,
3:32 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,
3:33 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,
3:34 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,
3:35 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,
3:36 Which was the son of Cainan, which
was the son of Arphaxad, which
was the son of Sem, which was the son of
Noah, which was the son of
Lamech,
3:37 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,
3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was
the son of Seth, which was
the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost
returned from the Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil.
And in those days he did
eat nothing: and when they were ended, he
afterward hungered.
4:3 And the devil said unto him, If you
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 a
high mountain, showed unto him
all the kingdoms of the world in a moment
of time.
4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this
power will I give you, and
the glory of them: for that is delivered
unto me; and to whomsoever I
will I give it.
4:7 If you therefore will worship me, all
shall be yours.
4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Get you behind me, Satan:
for it is written, You shall worship the
Lord your God, and him only
shall you serve.
4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and
set him on a pinnacle of the
temple, and said unto him, If you be the
Son of God, cast yourself
down from here:
4:10 For it is written, He shall give his
angels charge over you, to
keep you:
4:11 And in their hands they shall bear
you up, lest at any time you
dash your foot against a stone.
4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him,
It is said, You shall not
tempt the Lord your God.
4:13 And when the devil had ended all the
temptation, he departed from
him for a time.
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 to read.
4:17 And there was delivered unto him the
book of the prophet Isaiah.
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 has anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he has 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.
4:20 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.
4:21 And he began to say unto them, This
day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears.
4:22 And all bore him witness, and wondered
at the gracious words
which proceeded out of his mouth. And they
said, Is not this Joseph's
son?
4:23 And he said unto them, You will surely
say unto me this proverb,
Physician, heal yourself: whatsoever we
have heard done in Capernaum,
do also here in your country.
4:24 And he said, Truthfully 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 Elijah, 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 Elijah 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 you, you Jesus of
Nazareth? are you come to destroy us? I
know you who you are; the Holy
One of God.
4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold
your 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 spoke
among themselves, saying,
What a word is this! for with authority
and power he commands 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 sought 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
different 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, You are
Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them
permitted them not to
speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
4:42 And when it was day, he departed and
went into a deserted place:
and the people sought him, and came unto
him, and restrained 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 boats 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 boats,
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 boat.
5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said
unto Simon, Launch out into
the deep, and let down your nets for a drawing
of fish.
5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master,
we have toiled all the
night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless
at your word I will let
down the net.
5:6 And when they had this done, they enclosed
a great multitude of
fishes: and their net broke.
5:7 And they beckoned unto their partners,
which were in the other
boat, that they should come and help them.
And they came, and filled
both the boats, 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 drawing
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 now on
you shall catch men.
5:11 And when they had brought their boats
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 sought him,
saying, Lord, if you will, you can make
me clean.
5:13 And he put forth his hand, and touched
him, saying, I will: be
you clean. And immediately the leprosy departed
from him.
5:14 And he charged him to tell no man:
but go, and show yourself to
the priest, and offer for your 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 teachers 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, your sins are
forgiven you.
5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began
to reason, saying, Who is
this which speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive
sins, but God alone?
5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts,
he answering said unto
them, What reason you in your hearts?
5:23 Which is easier, to say, Your sins
be forgiven you; or to say,
Rise up and walk?
5:24 But that you may know that the Son
of man has power upon earth to
forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of
the palsy,) I say unto you,
Arise, and take up your couch, and go into
your 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 today.
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 you 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
yours eat and drink?
5:34 And he said unto them, Can you 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 spoke also a parable unto them;
No man puts a piece of a
new garment upon an old; or else, then the
new makes a tear, and the
piece that was taken out of the new does
not agree with the old.
5:37 And no man puts 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 immediately
desires new: for he
says, 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 you that which
is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
6:3 And Jesus answering them said, Have
you not read so much as this,
what David did, when himself was hungry,
and they which were with him;
6:4 How he went into the house of God, and
did take and eat the
showbread, 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 your hand. And he did so:
and his hand was restored
whole as the other.
6:11 And they were filled with anger; 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
you poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
6:21 Blessed are you that hunger now: for
you shall be filled. Blessed
are you that weep now: for you shall laugh.
6:22 Blessed are you, 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 you 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
you have received your
consolation.
6:25 Woe unto you that are full! for you
shall hunger. Woe unto you
that laugh now! for you 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 who 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 smites you on the
one cheek offer also the
other; and him that takes away your cloak
forbid not to take your coat
also.
6:30 Give to every man that asks of you;
and of him that takes away
your goods ask them not again.
6:31 And as you would that men should do
to you, do you also to them
likewise.
6:32 For if you love those who love you,
what thanks have you? for
sinners also love those that love them.
6:33 And if you do good to those who do
good to you, what thanks have
you? for sinners also do even the same.
6:34 And if you lend to them of whom you
hope to receive, what thanks
have you? for sinners also lend to sinners,
to receive as much again.
6:35 But love your enemies, and do good,
and lend, hoping for nothing
again; and your reward shall be great, and
you shall be the children
of the Highest: for he is kind even unto
the unthankful and to the
evil.
6:36 Be you therefore merciful, as your
Father also is merciful.
6:37 Judge not, and you shall not be judged:
condemn not, and you
shall not be condemned: forgive, and you
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 you mete
out it shall be measured back
to you again.
6:39 And he spoke 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 do you behold the speck that
is in your brother's eye,
but perceive not the beam that is in your
own eye?
6:42 Either how can you say to your brother,
Brother, let me pull out
the speck that is in your eye, when you
yourself behold not the beam
that is in your own eye? You hypocrite,
cast out first the beam out of
your own eye, and then shall you see clearly
to pull out the speck
that is in your brother's eye.
6:43 For a good tree does not bring forth
corrupt fruit; neither does
a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
6:44 For every tree is known by its 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 brings forth
that which is good; and an evil man out
of the evil treasure of his
heart brings forth that which is evil: for
of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaks.
6:46 And why call you me, Lord, Lord, and
do not the things which I
say?
6:47 Whosoever comes to me, and hears my
sayings, and does them, I
will show you to whom he is like:
6:48 He is like a man which built a house,
and dug 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 hears, and does not, is
like a man that without a
foundation built a 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 sought
him instantly, saying,
That he was worthy for whom he should do
this:
7:5 For he loves our nation, and he has
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 yourself: for I am not worthy
that you should enter under
my roof:
7:7 Therefore neither thought I myself worthy
to come unto you: 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 goes; and
to another, Come, and he
comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he
does 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 many people.
7:12 Now when he came close 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 many 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 bore him stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto
you, 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 has visited
his people.
7:17 And this rumor of him went forth throughout
all Judaea, and
throughout all the region round about.
7:18 And the disciples of John showed him
of all these things.
7:19 And John calling unto him two of his
disciples sent them to
Jesus, saying, Are you he that should come?
or look we for another?
7:20 When the men had come unto him, they
said, John Baptist has sent
us unto you, saying, Are you 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 you have seen and heard; 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
you out into the wilderness
for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
7:25 But what went you out for to see? A
man clothed in soft clothing?
Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled,
and live delicately, are
in kings' courts.
7:26 But what went you out for to see? A
prophet? yes, 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 your face, which shall prepare your
way before you.
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 you
have not danced; we have mourned to you,
and you have not wept.
7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating
bread nor drinking wine;
and you say, He has a devil.
7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking;
and you 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 food.
7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which
was a sinner, when she
knew that Jesus sat at food 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 invited
him saw it, he spoke
within himself, saying, This man, if he
were a prophet, would have
known who and what manner of woman this
is that touches him: for she
is a sinner.
7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him,
Simon, I have somewhat to say
unto you. And he says, Master, say on.
7:41 There was a certain creditor which
had two debtors: the one owed
five hundred denarii, 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, You have rightly
judged.
7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said
unto Simon, See you this
woman? I entered into your house, you gave
me no water for my feet:
but she has washed my feet with tears, and
wiped them with the hair of
her head.
7:45 You gave me no kiss: but this woman
since the time I came in has
not ceased to kiss my feet.
7:46 My head with oil you did not anoint:
but this woman has anointed
my feet with ointment.
7:47 Therefore I say unto you, Her sins,
which are many, are forgiven;
for she loved much: but to whom little is
forgiven, the same loves
little.
7:48 And he said unto her, Your sins are
forgiven.
7:49 And they that sat at food with him
began to say within
themselves, Who is this that forgives sins
also?
7:50 And he said to the woman, Your faith
has saved you; go in peace.
8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that
he went throughout every city
and village, preaching and showing 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 many people were gathered together,
and had come to him
out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and
as he sowed, some fell by
the wayside; 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 bore fruit an
hundredfold. And when he had said these
things, he cried, He that has
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 wayside are they that
hear; then comes the devil,
and takes 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 a honest and good
heart, having heard the word, keep it, and
bring forth fruit with
patience.
8:16 No man, when he has lighted a candle,
covers it with a vessel, or
puts it under a bed; but sets 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 you hear: for
whosoever has, to him shall
be given; and whosoever has not, from him
shall be taken even that
which he seems to have.
8:19 Then came to him his mother and his
brothers, and could not come
at him for the press.
8:20 And it was told him by certain which
said, Your mother and your
brothers stand outside, desiring to see
you.
8:21 And he answered and said unto them,
My mother and my brothers 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 boat
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
commands 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 you, Jesus, you Son of
God most high? I beseech you, 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 broke the bands,
and was driven of the devil
into the wilderness.)
8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is
your name? And he said,
Legion: because many devils were entered
into him.
8:31 And they sought him that he would not
command them to go out into
the deep.
8:32 And there was there a herd of many
swine feeding on the mountain:
and they sought him that he would permit
them to enter into them. And
he permitted 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 sought him to depart from them; for
they were taken with great
fear: and he went up into the boat, and
returned back again.
8:38 Now the man out of whom the devils
were departed sought him that
he might be with him: but Jesus sent him
away, saying,
8:39 Return to your own house, and show
what great things God has done
unto you. And he went his way, and announced
throughout the whole city
what 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 sought 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 you and press
you, and say you, Who touched me?
8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody has 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: your faith
has made you whole; go in peace.
8:49 While he yet spoke, there comes one
from the ruler of the
synagogue's house, saying to him, Your 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
permitted 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 sleeps.
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 immediately: and he
commanded to give her food.
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 you enter into,
there abide, and from there
depart.
9:5 And whosoever will not receive you,
when you 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 it was said of some,
that John was risen from
the dead;
9:8 And of some, that Elijah 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
secretly into a deserted
place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
9:11 And the people, when they knew it,
followed him: and he received
them, and spoke 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 provisions: for we
are here in a deserted place.
9:13 But he said unto them, Give them something
to eat. And they said,
We have no more but five loaves and two
fishes; unless we should go
and buy food for all these 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 broke, 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, Elijah; and
others say, that one of the old prophets
is risen again.
9:20 He said unto them, But whom say you
that I am? Peter answering
said, The Christ of God.
9:21 And he strictly instructed 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 clothing was white and glistening.
9:30 And, behold, there talked with him
two men, which were Moses and
Elijah:
9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spoke 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 you, and one for Moses,
and one for Elijah: not
knowing what he said.
9:34 While he thus spoke, 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 had come
down from the hill, many people met him.
9:38 And, behold, a man of the company cried
out, saying, Master, I
beseech you, look upon my son: for he is
my only child.
9:39 And, lo, a spirit takes him, and he
suddenly cries out; and it
tears him that he foams again, and bruising
him hardly departs from
him.
9:40 And I asked your 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 tolerate
you? Bring your son to
here.
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
receives me: and whosoever shall receive
me receives 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 your name; and we forbad him, because
he follows 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 steadfastly 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,
will you that we command fire to come down
from heaven, and consume
them, just as Elijah did?
9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and
said, You know not what
manner of spirit you 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 on the way, a certain man
said unto him, Lord, I will follow you wherever
you go.
9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have
holes, and birds of the air
have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere
to lay his head.
9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me.
But he said, Lord, permit me
first to go and bury my father.
9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury
their dead: but go you and
preach the kingdom of God.
9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will
follow you; 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, to
where he himself would come.
10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest
truly is great, but the
laborers are few: pray you therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he
would send forth laborers 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 you 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 laborer is worthy of
his hire. Go not from house to
house.
10:8 And into whatsoever city you enter,
and they receive you, eat
such things as are set before you:
10:9 And heal the sick that are in it, and
say unto them, The kingdom
of God is come close unto you.
10:10 But into whatsoever city you 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
cleaves on us, we do wipe
off against you: notwithstanding be sure
of this, that the kingdom of
God is come close 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 you, Chorazin! woe unto you,
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 you, Capernaum, which are exalted
to heaven, shall be thrust
down to hell.
10:16 He that hears you hears me; and he
that despises you despises
me; and he that despises me despises him
that sent me.
10:17 And the seventy returned again with
joy, saying, Lord, even the
devils are subject unto us through your
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 you, O
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you
have hid these things from
the wise and prudent, and have revealed
them unto babes: even so,
Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.
10:22 All things are delivered to me of
my Father: and no man knows
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 secretly, Blessed
are the eyes which see the things that you
see:
10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets
and kings have desired to see
those things which you see, and have not
seen them; and to hear those
things which you hear, and have not heard
them.
10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood
up, and tested him, saying,
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal
life?
10:26 He said unto him, What is written
in the law? how do you read
it?
10:27 And he answering said, You shall love
the Lord your God with all
your heart, and with all your soul, and
with all your strength, and
with all your mind; and your neighbor as
yourself.
10:28 And he said unto him, You have answered
right: this do, and you
shall live.
10:29 But he, willing to justify himself,
said unto Jesus, And who is
my neighbor?
10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain
man went down from Jerusalem
to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which
stripped him of his
clothing, 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 next day when he departed,
he took out two denarii,
and gave them to the host, and said unto
him, Take care of him; and
whatsoever you spend more, when I come again,
I will repay you.
10:36 Which now of these three, think you,
was neighbor unto him that
fell among the thieves?
10:37 And he said, He that showed mercy
on him. Then said Jesus unto
him, Go, and do 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 burdened by much serving,
and came to him, and
said, Lord, do you not care that my sister
has left me to serve alone?
bid her therefore that she help me.
10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha, Martha, you are
anxious and troubled about many things:
10:42 But one thing is necessary: and Mary
has 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 you pray,
say, Our Father which are
in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom
come. Your 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 my 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 you.
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 needs.
11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall
be given you; seek, and you
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto you.
11:10 For every one that asks receives;
and he that seeks finds; and
to him that knocks 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 you 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
spoke; and the people
wondered.
11:15 But some of them said, He casts 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 falls.
11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself,
how shall his kingdom
stand? because you 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 keeps his
palace, his goods are in
peace:
11:22 But when a stronger than he shall
come upon him, and overcome
him, he takes from him all his armour in
which he trusted, and divides
his spoils.
11:23 He that is not with me is against
me: and he that scatters not
with me scatters.
11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out
of a man, he walks through
dry places, seeking rest; and finding none,
he says, I will return
unto my house from where I came out.
11:25 And when he comes, he finds it swept
and garnished.
11:26 Then goes he, and takes 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 spoke these
things, a certain woman
of the company lifted up her voice, and
said unto him, Blessed is the
womb that bore you, and the paps which you
have sucked.
11:28 But he said, yes 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 has lighted a candle,
puts 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 your eye is
single, your whole body also is full of
light; but when your eye is
evil, your body also is full of darkness.
11:35 Take heed therefore that the light
which is in you be not
darkness.
11:36 If your 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 does give you light.
11:37 And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee
asked him to dine with him:
and he went in, and sat down to food.
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
you Pharisees make clean the
outside of the cup and the platter; but
your inward part is full of
ravening and wickedness.
11:40 You fools, did not he that made that
which is outside make that
which is within also?
11:41 But rather give alms of such things
as you have; and, behold,
all things are clean unto you.
11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for you
tithe mint and rue and all
manner of herbs, and pass over judgment
and the love of God: these
ought you to have done, and not to leave
the other undone.
11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for you love
the uppermost seats in the
synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for you 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 you reproach us also.
11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, you
lawyers! for you lade men
with burdens grievous to be borne, and you
yourselves touch not the
burdens with one of your fingers.
11:47 Woe unto you! for you build the sepulchers
of the prophets, and
your fathers killed them.
11:48 Truly you bear witness that you allow
the deeds of your fathers:
for they indeed killed them, and you build
their sepulchers.
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:
truthfully I say unto you,
It shall be required of this generation.
11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for you have
taken away the key of
knowledge: you entered not in yourselves,
and them that were entering
in you 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 stepped one upon
another, he began to say unto his disciples
first of all, Beware you
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 you have spoken
in darkness shall be heard
in the light; and that which you 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 you shall
fear: Fear him, which
after he has killed has power to cast into
hell; yes, I say unto you,
Fear him.
12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two
copper coin, 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: you 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 denies 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
blasphemes 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 you no thought
how or what thing you
shall answer, or what you shall say:
12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you
in the same hour what you
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 consists not in the abundance
of the things which he
possesses.
12:16 And he spoke 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, you
have much goods laid up for
many years; take your ease, eat, drink,
and be merry.
12:20 But God said unto him, You fool, this
night your soul shall be
required of you: then whose shall those
things be, which you have
provided?
12:21 So is he that lays 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 you shall
eat; neither for the body,
what you shall put on.
12:23 The life is more than food, and the
body is more than clothing.
12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither
sow nor reap; which
neither have storehouse nor barn; and God
feeds them: how much more
are you better than the fowls?
12:25 And which of you with taking thought
can add to his stature one
cubit?
12:26 If you then be not able to do that
thing which is least, why
take you 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 today in the field,
and the next day is cast into the oven;
how much more will he clothe
you, O you of little faith?
12:29 And seek not you what you shall eat,
or what you shall drink,
neither be of doubtful mind.
12:30 For all these things do the nations
of the world seek after: and
your Father knows that you have need of
these things.
12:31 But rather seek you 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 you have, and give alms;
provide yourselves bags which
wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that
fails not, where no thief
approaches, neither moth corrupts.
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 you yourselves like unto men that wait
for their lord, when he
will return from the wedding; that when
he comes and knocks, they may
open unto him immediately.
12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the
lord when he comes shall
find watching: truthfully I say unto you,
that he shall gird himself,
and make them to sit down to food, 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
permitted his house to be broken through.
12:40 Be you therefore ready also: for the
Son of man comes at an hour
when you think not.
12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speak
you 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 food in due season?
12:43 Blessed is that servant, whom his
lord when he comes shall find
so doing.
12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he
will make him ruler over all
that he has.
12:45 But and if that servant say in his
heart, My lord delays 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 looks 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 did not know, 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 restricted I
am till it be accomplished!
12:51 Suppose you that I am come to give
peace on earth? I tell you,
No; but rather division:
12:52 For from now on 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
you see a cloud rise out of
the west, immediately you say, There comes
a shower; and so it is.
12:55 And when you see the south wind blow,
you say, There will be
heat; and it comes to pass.
12:56 You hypocrites, you can discern the
face of the sky and of the
earth; but how is it that you do not discern
this time?
12:57 yes, and why even of yourselves judge
you not what is right?
12:58 When you go with your adversary to
the magistrate, as you are on
the way, give diligence that you may be
delivered from him; lest he
hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver
you to the officer, and
the officer cast you into prison.
12:59 I tell you, you shall not depart from
there, till you have 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 you that these
Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans,
because they
permitted such things?
13:3 I tell you, No: but, unless you repent,
you shall all likewise
perish.
13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower
in Siloam fell, and slew
them, think you that they were sinners above
all men that dwelled in
Jerusalem?
13:5 I tell you, No: but, unless you repent,
you shall all likewise
perish.
13:6 He spoke 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 does it occupy 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 you shall
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 way lift up
herself.
13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called
her to him, and said unto her,
Woman, you are loosed from your 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 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,
You hypocrite, does 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 has 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 tight 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 has shut to
the door, and you begin to stand outside,
and to knock at the door,
saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he
shall answer and say unto
you, I know you not, nor from where you
are:
13:26 Then shall you begin to say, We have
eaten and drunk in your
presence, and you have taught in our streets.
13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know
you not, nor from where you
are; depart from me, all you workers of
iniquity.
13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, when you 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 you out, and depart hence: for
Herod will kill you.
13:32 And he said unto them, Go you, and
tell that fox, Behold, I cast
out devils, and I do cures today and the
next day, and the third day I
shall be perfected.
13:33 Nevertheless I must walk today, and
the next day, and the day
following: for it cannot be that a prophet
perish out of Jerusalem.
13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kill
the prophets, and stone them
that are sent unto you; how often would
I have gathered your children
together, as a hen does gather her brood
under her wings, and you
would not!
13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you
desolate: and truthfully I
say unto you, You shall not see me, until
the time come when you shall
say, Blessed is he that comes 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 spoke 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 immediately
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 invited, when he
marked how they chose out the chief rooms;
saying unto them.
14:8 When you are invited of any man to
a wedding, sit not down in the
highest room; lest a more honorable man
than you be invited of him;
14:9 And he that bade you and him come and
say to you, Give this man
place; and you begin with shame to take
the lowest room.
14:10 But when you are invited, go and sit
down in the lowest room;
that when he that bade you comes, he may
say unto you, Friend, go up
higher: then shall you have worship in the
presence of them that sit
at food with you.
14:11 For whosoever exalts himself shall
be abased; and he that
humbles himself shall be exalted.
14:12 Then said he also to him that bade
him, When you make a dinner
or a supper, call not your friends, nor
your brothers, neither your
kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they
also invite you again, and
a recompense be made you.
14:13 But when you make a feast, call the
poor, the maimed, the lame,
the blind:
14:14 And you shall be blessed; for they
cannot recompense you: for
you shall be recompensed at the resurrection
of the just.
14:15 And when one of them that sat at food
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
invited, 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 you have me excused.
14:19 And another said, I have bought five
yoke of oxen, and I go to
prove them: I pray you 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 showed 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 to here the poor,
and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is
done as you have 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 invited
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 brothers, and sisters,
yes and his own life
also, he cannot be my disciple.
14:27 And whosoever does not bear his cross,
and come after me, cannot
be my disciple.
14:28 For which of you, intending to build
a tower, sits not down
first, and counts the cost, whether he have
sufficient to finish it?
14:29 Lest haply, after he has 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, sits not
down first, and consults whether he be able
with ten thousand to meet
him that comes against him with twenty thousand?
14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a
great way off, he sends an
ambassage, and desires conditions of peace.
14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you
that forsakes not all that
he has, he cannot be my disciple.
14:34 Salt is good: but if the salt has
lost its savour, with what
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 has 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 receives
sinners, and eats with them.
15:3 And he spoke this parable unto them,
saying, 15:4 What man of
you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose
one of them, does 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 has found it, he lays it
on his shoulders, rejoicing.
15:6 And when he comes home, he calls together
his friends and
neighbors, 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 repents, 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, does not light a candle, and sweep
the house, and seek
diligently till she find it?
15:9 And when she has found it, she calls
her friends and her
neighbors 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 repents.
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
falls 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 gladly 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
you,
15:19 And am no more worthy to be called
your son: make me as one of
your 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 your sight, and am no more worthy
to be called your 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 to here 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
close to the house, he heard music and dancing.
15:26 And he called one of the servants,
and asked what these things
meant.
15:27 And he said unto him, Your brother
is come; and your father has
killed the fatted calf, because he has received
him safe and sound.
15:28 And he was angry, and would not go
in: therefore came his father
out, and entreated him.
15:29 And he answering said to his father,
Lo, these many years do I
serve you, neither transgressed I at any
time your commandment: and
yet you never gave me a kid, that I might
make merry with my friends:
15:30 But as soon as this your son was come,
which has devoured your
living with harlots, you have killed for
him the fatted calf.
15:31 And he said unto him, Son, you are
ever with me, and all that I
have is yours.
15:32 It was suitable that we should make
merry, and be glad: for this
your 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 of wasting
his possessions.
16:2 And he called him, and said unto him,
How is it that I hear this
of you? give an account of your stewardship;
for you may be no longer
steward.
16:3 Then the steward said within himself,
What shall I do? for my
lord takes away from me the stewardship:
I cannot dig; to beg I am
ashamed.
16:4 I know what I may 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 do you owe unto
my lord?
16:6 And he said, A hundred measures of
oil. And he said unto him,
Take your bond, and sit down quickly, and
write payment for fifty.
16:7 Then said he to another, And how much
do you owe? And he said, A
hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto
him, Take your bond, and
write payment for eighty.
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 by means of the
mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you
fail, you may be received
into eternal dwellings.
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 you have not been faithful
in the unrighteous
mammon, who will commit to your trust the
true riches?
16:12 And if you 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. You 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, You are they
which justify yourselves
before men; but God knows 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
presses into it.
16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth
to pass, than one small
mark of the law to fail.
16:18 Whosoever puts away his wife, and
marries another, commits
adultery: and whosoever marries her that
is put away from her husband
commits adultery.
16:19 There was a certain rich man, which
was clothed in purple and
fine linen, and dined 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 lifts up his eyes,
being in torment, and sees
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
you in your lifetime
received your good things, and likewise
Lazarus evil things: but now
he is comforted, and you are tormented.
16:26 And beside all this, between us and
you there is a great gulf
fixed: so that they which would pass from
here to you cannot; neither
can they pass to us, that would come from
there.
16:27 Then he said, I pray you therefore,
father, that you would send
him to my father's house:
16:28 For I have five brothers; that he
may testify unto them, lest
they also come into this place of torment.
16:29 Abraham says unto him, They have Moses
and the prophets; let
them hear them.
16:30 And he said, No, 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
offenses 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 your brother
trespass against you,
rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
17:4 And if he trespass against you seven
times in a day, and seven
times in a day turn again to you, saying,
I repent; you shall forgive
him.
17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord,
Increase our faith.
17:6 And the Lord said, If you had faith
as a grain of mustard seed,
you might say unto this mulberry tree, Be
you plucked up by the root,
and be you 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 food?
17:8 And will not rather say unto him, Make
ready with which I may
sup, and gird yourself, and serve me, till
I have eaten and drunk; and
afterward you shall eat and drink?
17:9 Does he thank that servant because
he did the things that were
commanded him? I think not.
17:10 So likewise you, when you 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 show 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 your
way: your faith has made
you 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 comes
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 you
shall desire to see one of the days of the
Son of man, and you 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 lightens
out of the one part under
heaven, shines 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 Noah,
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 Noah 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 goods
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, to there
will the eagles be
gathered together.
18:1 And he spoke 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 my 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 troubles me,
I will avenge her, lest by
her continual coming she weary me.
18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust
judge says.
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 comes, shall he find faith
on the earth?
18:9 And he spoke 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
you, 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 exalts
himself shall be abased; and
he that humbles 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, Permit little children
to come unto me, and forbid them not: for
of such is the kingdom of
God.
18:17 Truthfully I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child shall in
no way enter in it.
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 do you
call me good? none is good,
except one, that is, God.
18:20 You know the commandments, Do not
commit adultery, Do not kill,
Do not steal, Do not bear false witness,
Honor your father and your
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 lack
you one thing: sell all that you have, and
distribute unto the poor,
and you shall 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 you.
18:29 And he said unto them, Truthfully
I say unto you, There is no
man that has left house, or parents, or
brothers, 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 treated, and spitted
on:
18:33 And they shall whip 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 close unto Jericho, a
certain blind man sat by the wayside begging:
18:36 And hearing the multitude pass by,
he asked what it meant.
18:37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth
passes by.
18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, you 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, You
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 will you that I shall
do unto you? And he said,
Lord, that I may receive my sight.
18:42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive your
sight: your faith has
saved you.
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 sycamore 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 today I must
abide at your 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 spoke a parable,
because he was close 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,
your pound has gained ten
pounds.
19:17 And he said unto him, Well, you good
servant: because you have
been faithful in a very little, have you
authority over ten cities.
19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord,
your pound has gained five
pounds.
19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be you
also over five cities.
19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold,
here is your pound,
which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
19:21 For I feared you, because you are
an austere man: you take up
that which you did not lay down, and reap
that which you did not sow.
19:22 And he says unto him, Out of your
own mouth will I judge you,
you wicked servant. You knew that I was
an austere man, taking up that
I laid not down, and reaping that I did
not sow:
19:23 Why then did you not give my money
into the bank, that at my
coming I might have required my own with
interest?
19:24 And he said unto them that stood by,
Take from him the pound,
and give it to him that has ten pounds.
19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he
has ten pounds.) 19:26 For I
say unto you, That unto every one which
has shall be given; and from
him that has not, even that he has shall
be taken away from him.
19:27 But those my enemies, which would
not that I should reign over
them, bring to here, 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
close to Bethphage and
Bethany, at the mount called the mount of
Olives, he sent two of his
disciples,
19:30 Saying, Go you into the village over
against you; in the which
at your entering you shall find a colt tied,
whereon yet never man
sat: loose him, and bring him to here.
19:31 And if any man ask you, Why do you
loose him? thus shall you say
unto him, Because the Lord has need of him.
19:32 And they that were sent went their
way, and found just as he had
said unto them.
19:33 And as they were loosing the colt,
the owners of it said unto
them, Why loose you the colt?
19:34 And they said, The Lord has 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 on the way.
19:37 And when he was come close, 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 comes
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 your 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 you had known, even you,
at least in this your day,
the things which belong unto your peace!
but now they are hid from
your eyes.
19:43 For the days shall come upon you,
that your enemies shall cast a
trench about you, and compass you round,
and keep you in on every
side,
19:44 And shall lay you even with the ground,
and your children within
you; and they shall not leave in you one
stone upon another; because
you knew not the time of your visitation.
19:45 And he went into the temple, and began
to cast out them that
sold in it, and them that bought;
19:46 Saying unto them, It is written, My
house is the house of
prayer: but you 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 spoke unto him, saying, Tell us,
by what authority are you
doing these things? or who is he that gave
you 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 you
him not?
20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the
people will stone us: for they
are persuaded that John was a prophet.
20:7 And they answered, that they could
not tell from where 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 appropriate time he sent
a servant to the husbandmen,
that t 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
treated 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 respect
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 you say and
teach rightly, neither accept you the person
of any, but teach 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
you me?
20:24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and
superscription has 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 brothers:
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 showed at the bush,
when he calls 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, you have
well said.
20:40 And after that they dared 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 says in the book
of Psalms, The LORD said unto
my Lord, Sit you on my right hand,
20:43 Till I make your enemies your footstool.
20:44 David therefore calls 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 show 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 into there two
mites.
21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto
you, that this poor widow has
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 poverty has cast
in all the living that she
had.
21:5 And as some spoke of the temple, how
it was adorned with good
stones and gifts, he said,
21:6 As for these things which you behold,
the days will come, in
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 you be
not deceived: for many shall
come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and
the time draws near: go you
not therefore after them.
21:9 But when you 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
different 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 think ahead before
making your defense:
21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
which all your
adversaries shall not be able to contradict
nor resist.
21:16 And you shall be betrayed both by
parents, and brothers, and
kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall
they cause to be put to
death.
21:17 And you shall be hated of all men
for my name's sake.
21:18 But there shall not a hair of your
head perish.
21:19 In your patience possess you your
souls.
21:20 And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed
with armies, then
know that the desolation of it is close.
21:21 Then let those who are in Judaea flee
to the mountains; and let
those who are in the midst of it depart
out; and let not them that are
in the countries enter in itto.
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
draws close.
21:29 And he spoke to them a parable; Behold
the fig tree, and all the
trees;
21:30 When they now shoot forth, you see
and know of your own selves
that summer is now close at hand.
21:31 So likewise you, when you see these
things come to pass, know
you that the kingdom of God is close at
hand.
21:32 Truthfully 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 you therefore, and pray always,
that you 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
close, 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 will
you that we prepare? 22:10 And
he said unto them, Behold, when you are
entered into the city, there
shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher
of water; follow him into the
house where he enters in.
22:11 And you shall say unto the goodman
of the house, The Master says
unto you, Where is the guestchamber, where
I shall eat the passover
with my disciples?
22:12 And he shall show 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 of it, 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 broke 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
betrays me is with me on the
table.
22:22 And truly the Son of man goes, as
it was determined: but woe
unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
22:23 And they began to inquire 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 you 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 does serve.
22:27 For whether is greater, he that sits
at food, or he that serves?
is not he that sits at food? but I am among
you as he that serves.
22:28 You are they which have continued
with me in my temptations.
22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom,
as my Father has appointed
unto me;
22:30 That you 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 has desired to
have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
22:32 But I have prayed for you, that your
faith fail not: and when
you are converted, strengthen your brothers.
22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready
to go with you, both into
prison, and to death.
22:34 And he said, I tell you, Peter, the
cock shall not crow this
day, before that you shall three times deny
that you know me.
22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent
you without purse, and scrip,
and shoes, lacked you any thing? And they
said, Nothing.
22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he
that has a purse, let him
take it, and likewise his scrip: and he
that has 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
accustomed, 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 you
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 you be willing,
remove this cup from me:
nevertheless not my will, but your, 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 you?
rise and pray, lest you enter
into temptation.
22:47 And while he yet spoke, 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, do
you betray 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, Permit
this much. 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 had come to
him, Be you come out, as
against a thief, with swords and staves?
22:53 When I was with you each day in the
temple, you 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, You are 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 do not know
what you say. And
immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock
crowed.
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 crows,
you shall deny me three times.
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 you?
22:65 And many other things blasphemously
spoke 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 Are you the Christ? tell us. And he
said unto them, If I tell
you, you will not believe:
22:68 And if I also ask you, you 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, Are you then the
Son of God? And he said
unto them, You 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, Are you
the King of the Jews? And
he answered him and said, You say 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 stirs 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 exceedingly
glad: for had
desired to see him for a long time, 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 treated
him with contempt, 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, You have brought this
man unto me, as one that
perverts the people: and, behold, I, having
examined him before you,
have found no fault in this man touching
those things whereof you
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, spoke 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 has 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 which they shall say,
Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that
never bore, 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 had 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 clothing, 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 you be the king of
the Jews, save yourself.
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 you be Christ, save yourself
and us.
23:40 But the other answering rebuked him,
saying, Do not you fear
God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?
23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive
the due reward of our
deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.
23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember
me when you come into
your kingdom.
23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Truthfully
I say unto you, Today shall
you 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 tore in
the midst.
23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud
voice, he said, Father,
into your 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 counselor; 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
sepulcher that was hewn in stone, in which
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 sepulcher, 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 sepulcher, bringing the
spices which they had
prepared, and certain others with them.
24:2 And they found the stone rolled away
from the sepulcher.
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 you the living
among the dead?
24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember
how he spoke 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
sepulcher, 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
sepulcher; 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 held back that
they should not know him.
24:17 And he said unto them, What manner
of communications are these
that you have one to another, as you walk,
and are sad?
24:18 And the one of them, whose name was
Cleopas, answering said unto
him, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem,
and have 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, today is the
third day since these things
were done.
24:22 Yes, and certain women also of our
company made us astonished,
which were early at the sepulcher;
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 those who were with
us went to the sepulcher, 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 close unto the village,
to where 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
food with them, he took bread,
and blessed it, and broke, 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 has appeared to Simon.
24:35 And they told what things were done
on the way, and how he was
known of them in breaking of bread.
24:36 And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself
stood in the midst of
them, and says unto them, Peace be unto
you.
24:37 But they were terrified and frightened,
and supposed that they
had seen a spirit.
24:38 And he said unto them, Why are you
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 has not flesh and bones,
as you see me have.
24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed
them his hands and his
feet.
24:41 And while they yet believed not for
joy, and wondered, he said
unto them, Have you here any food?
24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled
fish, and of a 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 spoke 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 was proper
for 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 you are witnesses of these things.
24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of
my Father upon you: but tarry
you in the city of Jerusalem, until you
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.
