The Gospel of Luke, King James Version,

1:1.

For as much as many have taken in hand

to set forth in order a declaration of

those things which are most surely

believed among us. Verse two, even as

they delivered them unto us, which from

the beginning were eyewitnesses and

ministers of the word. Verse three, it

seemed good to me also, having had

perfect understanding of all things from

the very first, to write unto thee in

order, most excellent Theophilos, verse

4, that thou mightest know the certainty

of those things wherein thou hast been

instructed. Verse 5. There was in the

days of Herod, the king of Judea, a

certain priest named Zachcharias, of the

course of Aia, and his wife was of the

daughters of Aaron, and her name was

Elizabeth.

Verse 6, and they were both righteous

before God, walking in all the

commandments and ordinances of the Lord,

blameless.

Verse 7, and they had no child because

that Elizabeth was barren. They both

were now wellstricken in years. Verse 8.

And it came to pass that while he

executed the priest's office before God

in the order of his course. Verse 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.

Verses 10. And the whole multitude of

the people were praying without at the

time of incense. Verse 11. And there

appeared unto him an angel of the Lord

standing on the right side of the altar

of incense. Verse 12. And when

Zachcharias saw him, he was troubled,

and fear fell upon him. Verse 13.

But the angel said unto him, "Fear not,

Zacharias, for thy prayer is heard, and

thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a

son, and thou shalt call his name John."

Verse 14. and thou shalt have joy and

gladness, and many shall rejoice at his

birth. Verse 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.

Verse 16, and many of the children of

Israel shall he turn to the Lord their

God. Verse 17. And he shall go before

him in the spirit and power of Elias, to

turn the hearts of the fathers to the

children, and the disobedient to the

wisdom of the just, to make ready a

people prepared for the Lord.

Verse 18. And Zachchariah said unto the

angel, "Whereby shall I know this? For I

am an old man, and my wife wellstricken

in years." Verse 19. And the angel

answering said unto him, I am Gabriel

that stand in the presence of God, and

am sent to speak unto thee, and to show

thee these glad tidings. Verse 20. And

behold, thou shalt be dumb and not able

to speak until the day that these things

shall be performed, because thou

believest not my words, which shall be

fulfilled in their season. Verse 21.

And the people waited for Zachcharias

and marveled that he terried so long in

the temple. Verse 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. Verse 23. And

it came to pass that as soon as the days

of his ministration were accomplished,

he departed to his own house. Verse 24.

And after those days his wife Elizabeth

conceived, and hid herself 5 months,

saying, Verse 25,

thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the

days wherein he looked on me to take

away my reproach among men. Verse 26,

and in the sixth month the angel Gabriel

was sent from God unto a city of Galilee

named Nazareth. Verse 27,

to a virgin espoused to a man whose name

was Joseph of the house of David. And

the virgin's name was Mary.

Verse 28.

And the angel came in unto her, and

said, Hail, thou that art highly

favored, the Lord is with thee. Blessed

art thou among women.

Verses 29.

And when she saw him, she was troubled

at his saying, and cast in her mind what

manner of salutation this should be.

Verses 30. And the angel said unto her,

"Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found

favor with God." Verse 31, "And behold,

thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and

bring forth a son, and shalt call his

name Jesus." Verse 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." Verse 33, "And he shall reign

over the house of Jacob forever, and of

his kingdom there shall be no end."

Verse 34. Then said Mary unto the angel,

How shall this be, seeing I know not a

man? Verse 35. And the angel answered,

and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall

come upon thee, and the power of the

highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore

also that holy thing which shall be born

of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Verse 36.

And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she

hath also conceived a son in her old

age, and this is the sixth month with

her, who was called barren. Verse 37,

for with God nothing shall be

impossible. 38 and Mary said, Behold the

handmade of the Lord, be it unto me

according to thy word. And the angel

departed from her. Verse 39. And Mary

arose in those days and went into the

hill country with haste into a city of

Judah. Verse 40. And entered into the

house of Zacharias and saluted

Elizabeth. Verse 41. And it came to pass

that when Elizabeth heard the salutation

of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb,

and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy

Ghost. Verse 42.

and she spake out with a loud voice and

said, "Blessed art thou among women, and

blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Verse

43.

And whence is this to me that the mother

of my Lord should come to me. Verse 44,

for lo, as soon as the voice of thy

salutation sounded in mine ears, the

babe leaped in my womb for joy. Verse

45.

And blessed is she that believed, for

there shall be a performance of those

things which were told her from the

Lord. Verse 46.

And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the

Lord." Verse 47. And my spirit hath

rejoiced in God my Savior. Verse 48. For

he hath regarded the low estate of his

handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth

all generations shall call me blessed.

Verse 49.

For he that is mighty hath done to me

great things, and holy is his name.

Verses 50. And his mercy is on them that

fear him from generation to generation.

Verses 51. He hath showed strength with

his arm. He hath scattered the proud in

the imagination of their hearts. Verses

52. He hath put down the mighty from

their seats, and exalted them of low

degree. 53. He hath filled the hungry

with good things, and the rich he hath

sent empty away. Verse 54. He hath

helped his servant Israel in remembrance

of his mercy. 55 As he spake to our

fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed

forever. Verse 56. And Mary abodeed with

her about 3 months and returned to her

own house. Verse 57. Now Elizabeth's

full time came that she should be

delivered, and she brought forth a son.

Verse 58. and her neighbors and her

cousins heard how the Lord had showed

great mercy upon her and they rejoiced

with her.

Verse 59. And it came to pass that on

the eighth day they came to circumcise

the child, and they called him

Zachcharias after the name of his

father.

Verse 60. And his mother answered and

said, "Not so, but he shall be called

John." Verse 61. And they said unto her,

There is none of thy kindred that is

called by this name. Verse 62. And they

made signs to his father how he would

have him called. Verse 63. And he asked

for a writing table and wrote, saying,

His name is John. And they marveled all.

Verse 64. And his mouth was opened

immediately, and his tongue loosed, and

he spake and praised God. Verses 65. And

fear came on all that dwelt round about

them. And all these sayings were noised

abroad throughout all the hill country

of Judea.

Verses and 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. Verses 67. And

his father Zachcharias was filled with

the Holy Ghost and prophesied, saying,

Vers 68, blessed be the Lord God of

Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed

his people. Verse 69, and hath raised up

an horn of salvation for us in the house

of his servant David. Verse 70, as he

spake by the mouth of his holy prophets,

which have been since the world began.

Verse 71, that we should be saved from

our enemies and from the hand of all

that hate us. Verse 72, to perform the

mercy promised to our fathers and to

remember his holy covenant. Verse 73,

the oath which he swore to our father

Abraham. Verse 74,

that he would grant unto us that we

being delivered out of the hand of our

enemies might serve him without fear.

Verse 75, in holiness and righteousness

before him all the days of our life.

Verse 76. And thou, child shalt be

called the prophet of the highest, for

thou shalt go before the face of the

Lord to prepare his ways. Verse 77. to

give knowledge of salvation unto his

people by the remission of their sins.

Verse 78,

through the tender mercy of our God,

whereby the dayspring from on high hath

visited us. Verse 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. Verse 80, and the

child grew and waxed strong in spirit,

and was in the deserts till the day of

his shoeing unto Israel. Chapter 2 verse

1. And it came to pass in those days

that there went out a decree from Caesar

Augustus that all the world should be

taxed. Verse two. And this taxing was

first made when Serenius was governor of

Syria. Verse three. And all went to be

taxed, everyone into his own city.

Verse four. And Joseph also went up from

Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,

into Judea, unto the city of David,

which is called Bethlehem, because he

was of the house and lineage of David.

Verse 5,

to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife,

being great with child. Verse 6, and so

it was that while they were there, the

days were accomplished that she should

be delivered. Verse 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.

Verse 8. And there were in the same

country shepherds abiding in the field,

keeping watch over their flock by night.

Verse 9. And lo, the angel of the Lord

came upon them, and the glory of the

Lord shone round about them, and they

great joy, which shall be to all

people." Verses 11.

manger."

Verses 13. And suddenly there was with

the angel a multitude of the heavenly

host praising God and saying, 1 VS4,

glory to God in the highest, and on

earth peace, goodwill toward men. 1 VS5.

gone away from them into heaven, the

shepherd said one to another, Let us now

go even unto Bethlehem, and see this

thing which has come to pass, which the

Lord hath made known unto us. Verse 16.

and Joseph, and the babe lying in a

manger. Verse 17. And when they had seen

it, they made known abroad the saying

which was told them concerning this

child. 18 And all they that heard it

and praising God for all the things that

they had heard and seen as it was told

servant depart in peace, according to

thy word. He for mine eyes have seen thy

salvation. 31 Which thou has prepared

before the face of all people. 32 A

light to lighten the Gentiles and the

glory of thy people, Israel.

of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy

us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy

One of God.

Verses 35. And Jesus rebuked him,

saying, Hold thy peace and come out of

him. And when the devil had thrown him

in the midst, he came out of him and

all they that had any sick with diverse

diseases brought them unto him. and he

laid his hands on every one of them and

healed them. Verse 41. And devils also

came out of many, crying out and saying,

"Thou art Christ, the Son of God." And

he rebuking them suffered them not to

speak, for they knew that he was Christ.

Verse 42.

And when it was day, he departed and

went into a desert place, and the people

sought him, and came unto him, and

stayed him that he should not depart

from them. Verse 43. And he said unto

them, I must preach the kingdom of God

to other cities also, for therefore am I

sent. Verse 44. And he preached in the

synagogues of Galilee. Chapter 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

Guanesseret. Verse 2. and saw two ships

standing by the lake. But the fishermen

were gone out of them and were washing

their nets. Verse three, and he entered

into one of the ships, which was

Simon's, and prayed him that he would

thrust out a little from the land. And

he sat down and taught the people out of

the ship. Verse four, now when he had

left speaking, he said unto Simon,

"Launch out into the deep, and let down

your nets for a draft." Verse 5. And

Simon answering said unto him, "Master,

we have toiled all the night and have

taken nothing. Nevertheless, at thy

word, I will let down the net." Verse 6,

"And when they had this done, they

enclosed a great multitude of fishes,

and their net break." Verse 7, "And they

beckoned unto their partners, which were

in the other ship, that they should come

and help them, and they came and filled

both the ships, so that they began to

sink." Verse 8. When Simon Peter saw it,

he fell down at Jesus knees, saying,

"Depart from me, for I am a sinful man,

O Lord." Verse 9, for he was astonished,

and all that were with him at the draft

of the fishes which they had taken.

Verse 10, and so was also James and

John, the sons of Zebedee, which were

partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto

Simon, "Fear not, from henceforth thou

shalt catch men." Verse 11.

And when they had brought their ships to

land, they forsook all and followed him.

Verse 12. And it came to pass when he

was in a certain city, behold, a man

full of leprosy, who seeing Jesus fell

on his face, and besought him, saying,

Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me

clean. Verse 13. And he put forth his

hand and touched him, saying, I will be

thou clean. And immediately the leprosy

departed from him. Verse 14.

And he charged him to tell no man, but

go and show thyself to the priest and

offer for thy cleansing according as

Moses commanded for a testimony unto

them. Verse 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.

Verse 16. And he withdrew himself into

the wilderness and prayed. Verse 17.

And it came to pass on a certain day as

he was teaching that there were

Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting

by which were come out of every town of

Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem. And the

power of the Lord was present to heal

them. Verse 18. And behold, men brought

in a bed a man which was taken with a

paly, and they sought means to bring him

in and to lay him before him. Verse 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 led him down through the tiling with

his couch into the midst before Jesus.

Verse 20. And when he saw their faith,

he said unto him, Man, thy sins are

forgiven thee. Verse 21.

And the scribes and the Pharisees began

to reason, saying, Who is this which

speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive

sins but God alone? Verse 22.

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts,

he answering said unto them, "What

reason ye in your hearts?" Verse 23,

"Whether is easier to say, Thy sins be

forgiven thee." Or to say, "Rise up and

walk." Verse 24.

But that ye may know that the Son of man

hath power upon earth to forgive sins,

he said unto the sick of the Pauly, I

say unto thee, arise, and take up thy

couch, and go into thine house. Verse

25.

And immediately he rose up before them,

and took up that whereon he lay, and

departed to his own house, glorifying

God. Verse 26. And they were all amazed,

and they glorified God, and were filled

with fear, saying, We have seen strange

things today. Verse 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. Verse 28. And he left

all, rose up, and followed him. Verse

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. Verse 30, but their

scribes and Pharisees murmured against

his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and

drink with publicans and sinners? Verse

31. And Jesus answering said unto them,

"They that are whole need not a

physician, but they that are sick."

Verse 32, "I came not to call the

righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Verse 33.

And they said unto him, "Why do the

disciples of John fast often and make

prayers? And likewise the disciples of

the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink."

Verse 34.

And he said unto them, "Can ye make the

children of the bride chamber fast while

the bridegroom is with them?" Verse 35,

"But the days will come when the

bridegroom shall be taken away from

them, and then shall they fast in those

days." Verse 36, "And he spake also a

parable unto them. No man putth a piece

of a new garment upon an old. If

otherwise, then both the new maketh a

rent, and the peace that was taken out

of the new agreeth not with the old.

Verse 37. And no man putteth new wine

into old bottles, else the new wine will

burst the bottles and be spilled, and

the bottles shall perish.

Verse 38, but new wine must be put into

new bottles, and both are preserved.

Verse 39. No man also having drunk old

wine straightway desireth new. For he

saith, the old is better. Chapter 6

verse 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.

Verse two. And certain of the Pharisees

said unto them, Why do ye that which is

not lawful to do on the Sabbath days?

Verse three. And Jesus answering them

said, "Have you not read so much as

this, what David did, when himself

wasn't hungered, and they which were

with him?" Verse four, how he went into

the house of God, and did take and eat

the shoe bread, and gave also to them

that were with him, which it is not

lawful to eat, but for the priests

alone. Verse of 5. And he said unto

them, that the Son of Man is Lord also

of the Sabbath. Verse 6. And it came to

pass also on another Sabbath that he

entered into the synagogue and talked,

and there was a man whose right hand was

withered. Verse 7. And the scribes and

Pharisees watched him whether he would

heal on the Sabbath day, that they might

find an accusation against him. Verse 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. Verse 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? Verse 10.

And looking round about upon them all,

he said unto the man, "Stretch forth thy

hand." And he did so, and his hand was

restored whole as the other. Verse 11.

and they were filled with madness and

communed one with another what they

might do to Jesus.

Verse 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. Verse 13. And when it was day,

he called unto him his disciples, and of

them he chose 12, whom also he named

apostles. Verse 14, Simon, whom he also

named Peter, and Andrew his brother,

James and John, Philip and Bartholomew.

Verse 15, Matthew and Thomas, James the

son of Alphus, and Simon called Zelotes.

Verse 16, and Judas the brother of

James, and Judas's Scariot, which also

was the traitor. Verse 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

Judea and Jerusalem and from the sea

coast of Ty and Siden which came to hear

him and to be healed of their diseases.

Verse 18. And they that were vexed with

unclean spirits and they were healed.

Verse 19. And the whole multitude sought

to touch him for there went virtue out

of him and healed them all. Verse 20.

And he lifted up his eyes on his

disciples and said, "Blessed be ye poor,

for yours is the kingdom of God." Verse

21, "Blessed are ye that hunger now, for

ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that

weep now, for ye shall laugh." Verse 22.

Blessed are ye when men shall hate you,

and when they shall separate you from

their company, and shall reproach you,

and cast out your name as evil for the

Son of man's sake. Verse 23,

rejoice ye in that day, and leap for

joy, for behold, your reward is great in

heaven, for in the like manner did their

fathers unto the prophets. Verse 24, but

woe unto you that are rich, for ye have

received your consolation.

Verse 25, woe unto you that are full,

for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that

laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.

Verse 26, woe unto you when all men

shall speak well of you, for so did

their fathers to the false prophets.

Verse 27, but I say unto you which hear,

"Love your enemies, do good to them

which hate you." Verse 28, "Bless them

that curse you, and pray for them which

despitefully use you." 29, And unto him

that smiteth thee on the one cheek,

offer also the other, and him that

taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to

take thy coat also. Verse 30, Give to

every man that askketh of thee, and of

him that taketh away thy goods, ask them

not again.

31 And as ye would that men should do to

you, do ye also to them likewise? Verse

32, For if you love them which love you,

what thank have ye? For sinners also

love those that love them. Verse 33, And

if you do good to them which do good to

you, what thank have ye? For sinners

also do even the same. Verse 34.

And if you lend to them of whom ye hope

to receive, what thank have ye? For

sinners also lend to sinners to receive

as much again. Verse 35.

But love ye your enemies, and do good,

and lend hoping for nothing again. And

your reward shall be great, and ye shall

be the children of the highest, for he

is kind unto the unthankful, and to the

evil.

Verse 36, be ye therefore merciful, as

your father also is merciful. Verse 37,

judge not, and ye shall not be judged.

Condemn not, and ye shall not be

condemned. Forgive, and ye shall be

forgiven. Verse 38, give and it shall be

given unto you, good measure pressed

down and shaken together, and running

over shall men give into your bosom. For

with the same measure that ye meet with

all, it shall be measured to you again.

Verse 39.

And he spake a parable unto them, can

the blind lead the blind? Shall they not

both fall into the ditch? Verse 40, the

disciple is not above his master, but

everyone that is perfect shall be as his

master. Verse 41, And why beholdest thou

the moat that is in thy brother<unk>'s

eye, but perceivest not the beam that is

in thine own eye? Verse 42. Either how

canst thou say to thy brother, brother,

let me pull out the moat that is in

thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest

not the beam that is in thine own eye,

thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam

out of thine own eye, and then shalt

thou see clearly to pull out the moat

that is in thy brother's eye. Verse 43,

for a good tree bringeth not forth

corrupt fruit, neither doth a corrupt

tree bring forth good fruit. Verse 44.

For every tree is known by his own

fruit. For of thorns men do not gather

figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they

grapes. Verse 45. A good man out of the

good treasure of his heart bringeth

forth that which is good, and an evil

man out of the evil treasure of his

heart bringeth forth that which is evil.

For of the abundance of the heart his

mouth speaketh. Verse 46.

And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do

not the things which I say? 47

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my

sayings, and doeth them, I will show you

to whom he is like. Verse 48.

He is like a man which built an house,

and dig 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. Verse 49.

But he that heareth and doeth not is

like a man that without a foundation

built an house upon the earth against

which the stream did beat vehemently and

immediately it fell and the ruin of that

house was great.

Chapter 7 verse 1.

Now when he had ended all his stayings

in the audience of the people, he

entered into Capernium. Verse 2.

And a certain centurion servant who was

dear unto him was sick and ready to die.

Verse three. 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.

Verse four, and when they came to Jesus,

they besought him instantly, saying that

he was worthy for whom he should do

this. Verse 5, for he loveth our nation,

and he hath built us a synagogue. Verse

6. Then Jesus went with them. And when

he was now not far from the house, the

centurion sent friends to him, saying

unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself, for

I am not worthy that thou shouldest

enter under my roof. Verse 7, wherefore

neither thought I myself worthy to come

unto thee, but say in a word, and my

servant shall be healed. Verse 8, for I

also am a man set under authority,

having under me soldiers, and I say unto

one, "Go," and he goeth, and to another,

"Come," and he cometh. And to my

servant, "Do this, and he doeth it."

Verse 9.

When Jesus heard these things, he

marveled 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. Verses

10. And they that were sent returning to

the house found the servant whole that

had been sick. Verse 11. And it came to

pass the day after that he went into a

city called Naine, and many of his

disciples went with him, and much

people.

Verses 12. Now when he came nigh to the

gate of the city, behold, there was a

dead man carried out, the only son of

his mother, and she was a widow, and

much people of the city was with her.

Verse 13. And when the Lord saw her, he

had compassion on her, and said unto

her, weep not. Verse 14. And he came and

touched the beer, and they that bear him

stood still. And he said, Young man, I

say unto thee, arise. Verse 15. And he

that was dead sat up and began to speak,

and he delivered him to his mother.

Verse 16.

And there came a fear on all, and they

glorified God, saying, that a great

prophet has risen up among us, and that

God hath visited his people.

Verse 17. And this rumor of him went

forth throughout all Judea, and

throughout all the region roundabout.

Verse 18, and the disciples of John

showed him of all these things. Verse

19. And John calling unto him two of his

disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying,

Art thou he that should come, or look we

for another? Verse 20. When the men were

come unto him, they said, John Baptist

hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou

he that should come, or look we for

another? Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 22. Then Jesus

answering said unto them, "Go your way,

and tell John what things ye have seen

and heard, how that the blind see, the

lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the

deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the

poor the gospel is preached." Verse 23.

and blessed is he whosoever shall not be

offended in me. Verse 24. And when the

messengers of John were departed, he

began to speak unto the people

concerning John. What went ye out into

the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken

with the wind. Verse 25. But what went

ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft

raignment. Behold, they which are

gorgeously appar delicately are in

king's courts. Verse 26. But what went

ye out for to see a prophet? Yay, I say

unto you, and much more than a prophet.

Verse 27.

This is he of whom it is written,

Behold, I send my messenger before thy

face, which shall prepare thy way before

thee.

Verse 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. Verse 29. And all the

people that heard him, and the publicans

justified God, being baptized with the

baptism of John. Verse 30, but the

Pharisees and lawyers rejected the

council of God against themselves, being

not baptized of him. Verse 31.

And the Lord said, "Where unto then

shall I liken the men of this

generation?" And to what are they like?

Verse 32,

"They are like unto children sitting in

the marketplace, and calling one to

another, and saying, We have piped unto

you, and ye have not danced. We have

mourned to you, and ye have not wept."

Verse 33.

For John the Baptist came neither eating

bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, "He

hath a devil." Verse 34, "The Son of Man

is come eating and drinking, and ye say,

Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine

bber, a friend of publicans and

sinners." Verses 35.

But wisdom is justified of all her

children. Verses 36. And one of the

Pharisees desired him that he would eat

with him. And he went into the Pharisees

house and sat down to meet. Verses 37.

And behold, a woman in the city, which

was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus

sat at meat in the Pharisees house,

brought an alabaster box of ointment.

Verse 38, and stood at his feet behind

him weeping, and began to wash his feet

with tears, and did wiped them with the

hairs of her head, and kissed his feet.

and anointed them with the ointment.

Verse 39.

Now when the Pharisee which had bidden

him saw it, he spake within himself,

saying, "This man, if he were a prophet,

would have known who and what manner of

woman this is that touchth him, for she

is a sinner."

Verse 40. And Jesus answering said unto

him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto

thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

Verse 41.

There was a certain creditor which had

two debtors. The one owed 500 p and the

other 50. Verse 42. And when they had

nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them

both. Tell me therefore which of them

will love him most.

Verse 43.

Simon answered and said, I suppose that

he to whom he forgave most. And he said

unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

Verse 44. And he turned to the woman,

and said unto Simon, "Seeest thou this

woman. I entered into thine house. Thou

gavest me no water for my feet, but she

hath washed my feet with tears, and

wiped them with the hairs of her head."

Verse 45, thou gavest me no kiss, but

this woman since the time I came in hath

not ceased to kiss my feet. Verse 46, my

head with oil thou did not anoint, but

this woman hath anointed my feet with

ointment. Verse 47.

Wherefore I say unto thee, her sins

which are many are forgiven, for she

loved much, but to whom little is

forgiven, same loveth little. Verse 48.

And he said unto her, Thy sins are

forgiven.

Verse 49.

And they that sat at meat with him began

to say within themselves, Who is this

that forgiveth sins also? Verse 50. And

he said to the woman, "Thy faith hath

saved thee. Go in peace. Chapter 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 twel were

with him versed and certain women which

had been healed of evil spirits and

infirmities.

Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went

seven devils. Verse three. and Joanna

the wife of Chuzah Herod steward and

Susanna and many others which ministered

unto him of their substance.

Verse four. And when much people were

gathered together and were come to him

out of every city, he spake by a

parable.

Verse 5.

A swer went out to sew his seed. And as

he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and

it was trotten down, and the fowls of

the air devoured it. Verse 6, and some

fell upon a rock, and as soon as it was

sprung up, it withered away because it

lacked moisture. Verse 7, and some fell

among thorns, and the thorn sprang up

with it, and choked it. Years say, and

other fell on good ground, and sprang

up, and bear fruit, and hundfold.

And when he had said these things, he

cried, he that hath ears to hear, let

him hear.

Verse 9. And his disciples asked him,

saying, "What might this parable be?"

Verse 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."

11 Now the parable is this, the seed is

the word of God. Verse 12. Those by the

wayside are they that hear. Then cometh

the devil and taketh away the word out

of their hearts, lest they should

believe and be saved.

Verse 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. Verse 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. Verses 15 but that

on the good ground are they which in an

honest and good heart having heard the

word keep it and bring forth fruit with

patience.

Verse 16. No man when he hath lighted a

candle coverth it with a vessel or putth

it under a bed, but setth it on a

candlestick, that they which enter in

may see the light. Verse 17,

for nothing is secret that shall not be

made manifest, neither anything hid that

shall not be known and come abroad.

verses 18. Take heed therefore how ye

hear, for whosoever hath to him shall be

given, and whosoever hath not, from him

shall be taken even that which he seemth

to have. Verse 19, then came to him his

mother and his brethren, and could not

come at him for the press. Verse 20, and

it was told him by certain which said,

Thy mother and thy brethren stand

without desiring to see thee. Verse 21.

And he answered and said unto them, My

mother and my brethren are these which

hear the word of God and do it.

Verse 22. Now it came to pass on a

certain day that he went into a ship

with his disciples, and he said unto

them, "Let us go over unto the other

side of the lake, and they launched

forth." Verse 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. Verse 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.

Verse 25.

And he said unto them, "Where is your

faith?" And they being afraid wondered,

saying one to another, "What manner of

man is this? For he commandeth even the

winds and water, and they obey him."

Verses 26. And they arrived at the

country of the Gatherines, which is over

against Galilee. Verse 27.

And when he went forth to land, there

met him out of the city a certain man,

which had devils long time, and wear no

clothes, neither abode in any house, but

in the tombs. Verse 28. When he saw

Jesus, he cried out and fell down before

him, and with a loud voice said, "What

have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou son

of God most high? I beseech thee,

torment me not." Verse 29. For he had

commanded the unclean spirit to come out

of the man, for often times it had

caught him, and he was kept bound with

chains and infedters, and he break the

bands and was driven of the devil into

the wilderness.

Verse 30.

And Jesus asked him, saying, "What is

thy name?" And he said, "Leion, because

many devils were entered into him."

Verse 31.

And they besought him that he would not

command them to go out into the deep.

Verse 32.

And there was there an herd of many

swine feeding on the mountain. And they

besought him that he would suffer them

to enter into them, and he suffered

them. Verse 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. Verse 34.

When they that fed them saw what was

done, they fled and went and told it in

the city and in the country. Verse 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. Verse 36. They also which saw it

told them by what means he that was

possessed of the devils was healed.

Verse 37. Then the whole multitude of

the country of the gatherines round

about besought him to depart from them

for they were taken with great fear and

he went up into the ship and returned

back again. Verse 38. Now the man out of

whom the devils were departed besought

him that he might be with him. But Jesus

sent him away saying 39 Return to thine

own house and show how great things God

hath done unto thee. and he went his way

and published throughout the whole city

how great things Jesus had done unto

him. Verse 40. And it came to pass that

when Jesus was returned, the people

gladly received him, for they were all

waiting for him

41.

And behold, there came a man named

Gyrus, and he was a ruler of the

synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus's

feet, and besought him that he would

come into his house. Verses 42

for he had one only daughter about 12

years of age and she lay a dying but as

he went the people thronged him. Vess 43

and a woman having an issue of blood 12

years which had spent all her living

upon physicians neither could be healed

of any. Verses 44 came behind him and

touched the border of his garment and

immediately her issue of blood stanched.

Verses 45. And Jesus said, "Who touched

me?" When all denied, Peter and they

that were with him said, "Master,

multitude throng thee, and pressed thee,

who touched me?" Verse 46. And Jesus

said, "Somebody hath touched me, for I

perceive that virtue is gone out of me."

Verse 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.

Verse 48. And he said unto her,

Daughter, be of good comfort. Thy faith

hath made thee whole. Go in peace. Verse

49. while he yet spake, there cometh one

from the ruler of the synagogue's house,

saying to him, "Thy daughter is dead.

Trouble not the master." Verse 50. But

when Jesus heard it, he answered him,

saying, "Fear not. Believe only, and she

shall be made whole." Verse 51. And when

he came into the house, he suffered no

man to go in, save Peter, and James and

John, and the father and the mother of

the maiden. Verse 52. And all wept and

bewailed her. But he said, "Weep not,

she is not dead, but sleepeth." Verse

53. And they laughed him to scorn,

knowing that she was dead. Verse 54. And

he put them all out, and took her by the

hand, and called, saying, "Made, arise."

Verse 55. And her spirit came again, and

she arose straightway, and he commanded

to give her meat. Verse 56.

and her parents were astonished. But he

charged them that they should tell no

man what was done. Chapter 9:1

Then he called his 12 disciples together

and gave them power and authority over

all devils and to cure diseases. Verse

two, and he sent them to preach the

kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

Verse three, and he said unto them, take

nothing for your journey, neither staves

nor script, neither bread, neither

money, neither have two coats of piece.

Verse four. And whatsoever house ye

enter into there abide and then depart.

Verse 5. And whosoever will not receive

you when ye go out of that city, shake

off the very dust from your feet for a

testimony against them. Verse 6.

And they departed and went through the

towns preaching the gospel and healing

everywhere.

Verse 7.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that

was done by him and he was perplexed

because that it was said of some that

John was risen from the dead. Verse 8.

And of some that Elias had appeared and

of others that one of the old prophets

was risen again. Verse 9. And Herod

said, John have I beheaded, but who is

this of whom I hear such things? And he

desired to see him. Verse 10. And the

apostles, when they were returned, told

him all that they had done. And he took

them and went aside privately into a

desert place belonging to the city

called Bethida.

Verse 11. And the people when they knew

it, followed him. And he received them,

and spake unto them of the kingdom of

God, and healed them that had need of

healing.

Verse 12.

And when the day began to wear away,

then came the twel and said unto him,

"Send the multitude away that they may

go into the towns and country roundabout

and lodge and get victuals, for we are

here in a desert place." Verses 13.

But he said unto them, "Give ye them to

eat." And they said, "We have no more

but five loaves and two fishes, except

we should go and buy meat for all this

people." Verse 14. for they were about

5,000 men. And he said to his disciples,

"Make them sit down by 50s in a

company." Verse 9. And Herod said, "John

have I beheaded, but who is this of whom

I hear such things?" And he desired to

see him. Verse 10.

And the apostles, when they were

returned, told him all that they had

done. And he took them and went aside

privately into a desert place belonging

to the city called Bethida.

Verse 11. And the people, when they knew

it, followed him, and he received them,

and spake unto them of the kingdom of

God, and healed them that had need of

healing. Verse 12. And when the day

began to wear away, then came the twel

and said unto him, "Send the multitude

away that they may go into the towns and

country round about and lodge and get

victuals, for we are here in a desert

place." Verses 13. But he said unto

them, "Give ye them to eat." And they

said, "We have no more but five loaves

and two fishes, except we should go and

buy meat for all this people." Verse 14.

for they were about 5,000 men. And he

said to his disciples, "Make them sit

down by 50s in a company." Verse 15. And

they did so and made them all sit down.

Verse 16.

Then he took the five loaves and the two

fishes, and looking up to heaven, he

blessed them and break, and gave to the

disciples to set before the multitude.

Verse 17. And they did eat, and were all

filled. And there was taken up of

fragments that remained to them 12

baskets.

Verse 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? Verse 19, they

answering said John the Baptist, but

some say Elias, and others say that one

of the old prophets is risen again.

Verse 20, he said unto them, But whom

say ye that I am? Peter answering said,

"The Christ of God." Verse 21, "And he

straightly charged them and commanded

them to tell no man that thing."

Verse 22, "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." Verse 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." Verse 24, for whosoever

will save his life shall lose it, but

whosoever will lose his life for my

sake, the same shall save it. Verse 25,

for what is a man advantaged if he gain

the whole world and lose himself or be

cast away? Verse 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 fathers and of the holy

angels. Verse 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.

Verse 28. And it came to pass about in 8

days after these sayings, he took Peter

and John and James and went up into a

mountain to pray. Verse 29. And as he

prayed, the fashion of his countenance

was altered, and his raignment was white

and glistering.

Verse 30.

And behold, there talked with him two

men, which were Moses and Elias. Verse

31, who appeared in glory, and spake of

his decease, which he should accomplish

at Jerusalem. Verse 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. Verse 33. And it came to

pass as they departed from him, Peter

said unto Jesus, "Master, it is good for

us to be here. And let us make three

tabernacles, one for thee, and one for

Moses, and one for Elias, not knowing

what he said." Verse 34, "While he thus

spake, there came a cloud and

overshadowed them, and they feared as

they entered into the cloud." Verses 35.

And there came a voice out of the cloud,

saying, "This is my beloved son. Hear

him." Verses 36.

And when the voice was passed, Jesus was

found alone, and they kept it close, and

told no man in those days any of those

things which they had seen. BS37.

And it came to pass that on the next

day, when they were come down from the

hill, much people met him. Verse 38. And

behold, a man of the company cried out,

saying, Master, I beseech thee, look

upon my son, for he is mine only child.

Verse 39. And lo, a spirit taketh him,

and he suddenly crith out, and it

teareth him, that he foamth again, and

bruising him hardly departth from him.

Verse 40. And I besought thy disciples

to cast him out, and they could not.

Verse 41.

And Jesus answering said,"Oh faithless

and perverse generation, how long shall

I be with you and suffer you? Bring thy

son hither." Verse 42. And as he was yet

a coming, the devil threw him down and

tear him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean

spirit and healed the child and

delivered him again to his father.

Verse 43. And they were all amazed at

the mighty power of God. But while they

wondered everyone at all things which

Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

verse 44, "Let these sayings sink down

into your ears, for the Son of Man shall

be delivered into the hands of men."

Verse 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." Verse 46,

then there arose a reasoning among them,

which of them should be greatest. Verses

47. And Jesus perceiving the thought of

their heart, took a child, and set him

by him. Verse 48. And said unto them,

Whosoever shall receive this child in my

name receiveth me. And whosoever shall

receive me receiveth him that sent me.

For he that is least among you all, the

same shall be great.

Verses 49. And John answered and

said,"Master, we saw one casting out

devils in thy name, and we forbad him,

because he followeth not with us." Verse

50. And Jesus said unto him, "Forbid him

not, for he that is not against us is

for us."

Verses 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. Verses 52 and sent messengers

before his face and they went and

entered into a village of the Samaritans

to make ready for him. Verse 53 and they

did not receive him because his face was

as though he would go to Jerusalem.

Verse 54. And when his disciples James

and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt

thou that we command fire to come down

from heaven and consume them even as

Elias did? Verse 55.

But he turned and rebuked them and said,

"Ye know not what manner of spirit ye

are of." Verse 56, "For the Son of Man

is not come to destroy men's lives, but

to save them." And they went to another

village. Verse 57, "And it came to pass

that as they went in the way, a certain

man said unto him,"Lord, I will follow

thee whethersoever thou goest." Verse

58. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have

holes, and birds of the air have nests,

but the Son of Man hath not where to lay

his head. Verses 59. And he said unto

another, "Follow me." But he said,

"Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my

father."

Verses 60.

Jesus said unto him, "Let the dead bury

their dead, but go thou and preach the

kingdom of God." Verse 61. And another

also said,"Lord, I will follow thee."

But let me first go bid them farewell,

which are at home at my house. Verse 62.

And Jesus said unto him, "No man, having

put his hand to the plow, and looking

back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

Chapter 10:1.

After these things, the Lord appointed

other 70 also, and sent them two and two

before his face into every city and

place, whether he himself would come.

Verse two, therefore said he unto them,

the harvest truly is great, but the

laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the

Lord of the harvest, that he would send

forth laborers into his harvest. Verse

three, go your ways. Behold, I send you

forth as lambs among wolves. Verse four,

carry neither purse nor script nor

shoes, and salute no man by the way.

Verse 5. And into whatsoever house ye

enter, first say, peace be to this

house. Verse 6. And if the son of peace

be there, your peace shall rest upon it.

If not, shall turn to you again. Verse

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.

Verse 8. and into whatsoever city ye

enter, and they receive you, eat such

things as are set before you. Verse 9,

and heal the sick that are therein, and

say unto them, the kingdom of God is

come nigh unto you. Verse 10, but into

whatsoever city ye enter, and they

receive you not. Go your ways out into

the streets of the same and say verses

11,

even the very dust of your city which

cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against

you. Notwithstanding be ye sure of this,

that the kingdom of God is come nigh

unto you. Verse 12,

but I say unto you that it shall be more

tolerable in that day for Sodom than for

that city. Verse 13. Woe unto thee

Corazin. Woe unto thee Bethada.

For if the mighty works had been done in

Ty and Sidon, which have been done in

you, they had a great while ago

repented, sitting in sackcloth and

ashes. Verse 14. But it shall be more

tolerable for Ty and Sidon at the

judgment than for you. Verse 15. And

thou, Capernium, which art exalted to

heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

Verse 16, he that heareth you heareth

me, and he that despiseth you despiseth

me, and he that despiseth me despiseth

him that sent me. Verse 17, and the 70

returned again with joy, saying, Lord,

even the devils are subject unto us

through thy name. Verse 18, And he said

unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning

fall from heaven. 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. Verse 20, notwithstanding in

this, rejoice not that the spirits are

subject unto you, but rather rejoice

because your names are written in

heaven. Verse 21.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit

and said, "I thank thee, oh Father, Lord

of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid

these things from the wise and prudent

and hast revealed them unto babes. Even

so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy

sight."

Verses 22. All things are delivered to

me of my father, and no man knoweth who

the Son is but the Father, and who the

Father is but the Son, and he to whom

the Son will reveal him. Verse 23.

And he turned him unto his disciples and

said privately, "Blessed are the eyes

which see the things that ye see." Verse

24.

For I tell you that many prophets and

kings have desired to see those things

which ye see and have not seen them, and

to hear those things which you hear and

have not heard them. Verse 25.

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up

and tempted him, saying, "Master, what

shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

Verse 26.

He said unto him, "What is written in

the law? How readest thou?" Verse 27.

And he answering said, "Thou shalt love

the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and

with all thy soul, and with all thy

strength, and with all thy mind, and thy

neighbor as thyself."

Verse 28. And he said unto him, "Thou

hast answered right, this do, and thou

shalt live." Verse 29, "But he willing

to justify himself said unto Jesus, and

who is my neighbor?"

Verse 30. And Jesus answering said, "A

certain man went down from Jerusalem to

Jericho, and fell among thieves, which

stripped him of his raignment, and

wounded him, and departed, leaving him

half dead."

Verse 31.

And by chance there came down a certain

priest that way, and when he saw him, he

passed by on the other side.

32

And likewise a Levite, when he was at

the place, came and looked on him, and

passed by on the other side.

Verse 33. But a certain Samaritan, as he

journeyed, came where he was, and when

he saw him, he had compassion on him.

Verse 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.

Verse 35.

And on the tomorrow when he departed, he

took out two pence, and gave them to the

host, and said unto him, Take care of

him, and whatsoever thou spendest more

when I come again, I will repay thee.

Verse 36, which now of these three

thinkkest thou was neighbor unto him

that fell among the thieves. Verse 37,

and he said, he that showed mercy on

him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go and do

thou likewise.

Verse 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.

Verse 39. And she had a sister called

Mary, which also sat at Jesus's feet,

and heard his word. Verse 40. But Martha

was cumbered about much serving, and

came to him, and said, Lord, dust thou

not care that my sister hath left me to

serve alone? Bid her therefore that she

help me. Verse 41.

And Jesus answered, and said unto her,

Martha, Martha, thou art careful and

troubled about many things. Verse 42.

But one thing is needful, and Mary hath

chosen that good part, it 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. Verse two,

and he said unto them, when ye pray,

say, Our Father, which art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done, as in heaven, so in

earth. Verse three, give us day by day

our daily bread. Verse four, and forgive

us our sins, for we also forgive

everyone that is indebted to us, and

lead us not into temptation, but deliver

us from evil. Verse 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?

Verse 6, for a friend of mine in his

journey is come to me, and I have

nothing to set before him. Verse 7, and

he from within shall answer and say,

Trouble me not. The door is now shut,

and my children are with me in bed. I

cannot rise and give thee. Verse 8, I

say unto you, though he will not rise

and give him, because he is his friend,

yet because of his importunity, he will

rise and give him as many as he needeth.

Verses 9, and I say unto you, ask and it

shall be given you. Seek and ye shall

find. Knock and it shall be opened unto

you. Verses 10. For everyone that

askketh receiveth, and he that seeketh

findeth, and to him that knockketh, it

shall be opened. Verses 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? Verse 12, Or if he shall

ask an egg, will he offer him a

scorpion? Verses 13.

If ye then being evil know how to give

good gifts unto your children, how much

more shall your heavenly father give the

Holy Spirit to them that ask him? 14 And

he was casting out a devil, and it was

dumb. And it came to pass, when the

devil was gone out, the dumb spake, and

the people wondered. Verses 15, but some

of them said, he casteth out devils

through Beelzebub, the chief of the

devils. Verse 16.

And others tempting him, sought of him a

sign from heaven. Verse 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 fallth. Verse

18. If Satan also be divided against

himself, how shall his kingdom stand?

Because ye say that I cast out devils

through Beelzeub.

Verse 19. And if I by be elabub cast out

devils, by whom do your sons cast them

out? Therefore shall they be your

judges. Verse 20. But if I with the

finger of God cast out devils, no doubt

the kingdom of God is come upon you.

Verses 21. When a strong man armed

keepeth his palace, his goods are in

peace. Verses 22. But when a stronger

than he shall come upon him, and

overcome him, he taketh from him all his

armor, wherein he trusted, and divideth

his spoils. Verse 23,

he that is not with me is against me.

And he that gatherth not with me

scatterth. Verse 24, when the unclean

spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh

through dry places, seeking rest, and

finding none, he saith, I will return

unto my house whence I came out. Verse

25. And when he cometh, he findeth it

swept and garnished. Verses 26. Then

goeth he, and taketh to him seven other

spirits more wicked than himself. And

they enter in and dwell there. And the

last state of that man is worse than the

first. Verse 27.

And it came to pass as he spake these

things, a certain woman of the company

lifted up her voice, and said unto him,

Blessed is the womb that bear thee, and

the paps which thou hast sucked.

Verses 28, but he said, "Ya rather,

blessed are they that hear the word of

God and keep it." Verse 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. Verse 30, For as

Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so

shall also the Son of Man be to this

generation. Verse 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. Verse 32. The men of

Nineveh 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. Verse 33. No man, when he

hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a

secret place, neither under a bushel,

but on a candlestick, that they which

come in may see the light. Verses 34.

The light of the body is the eye.

Therefore, when thine eye is single, thy

whole body also is full of light. But

when thine eye is evil, thy body also is

full of darkness.

Verse 35,

take heed therefore that the light which

is in thee be not darkness. Verse 36, if

thy whole body therefore be full of

light, having no part dark, the whole

shall be full of light, as when the

bright shining of a candle doth give

thee light. Verse 37.

And as he spake, a certain Pharisee

besought him to dine with him, and he

went in and sat down to meet. Verse 38.

And when the Pharisees saw it, he

marveled that he had not first washed

before dinner. Verses 39.

And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye

Pharisees make clean the outside of the

cup in the platter, but your inward part

is full of ravening and wickedness.

Verse 40. Ye fools, did not he that made

that which is without make that which is

within also?

Verses 41, but rather give alms of such

things as ye have, and behold, all

things are clean unto you.

Verse 42, but woe unto you Pharisees,

for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner

of herbs, and pass over judgment and the

love of God. These ought ye to have

done, and not to leave the other undone.

Verse 43, woe unto you Pharisees, for ye

love the uppermost seats in the

synagogues, and greetings in the

markets. Verse 44, woe unto you scribes

and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are as

graves, which appear not, and the men

that walk over them are not aware of

them. Verse 45, then answered one of the

lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus

saying, Thou reproach us also. Verse 46.

And he said, "Woe unto you also, ye

lawyers, for ye laid men with burdens

grievous to be born, and ye yourselves

touch not the burdens with one of your

fingers." Verse 47, "Woe unto you, for

ye build the sephilers of the prophets,

and your fathers killed them." Verse 48.

Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the

deeds of your fathers, for they indeed

killed them, and ye build their

sephilers.

Verse 49,

therefore also said the wisdom of God, I

will send them prophets and apostles,

and some of them they shall slay and

persecute. Verse 50, that the blood of

all the prophets which was shed from the

foundation of the world may be required

of this generation.

Verse 51. From the blood of Abel unto

the blood of Zachcharias, which perished

between the altar and the temple, verily

I say unto you, it shall be required of

this generation. Verse 52. Woe unto you

lawyers, for ye have taken away the key

of knowledge. Ye entered not in

yourselves, and them that were entering

in ye hindered. Verse 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. Verse 54. Laying wait

for him and seeking to catch something

out of his mouth that they might accuse

him. 12:1.

In the meantime, when there were

gathered together an innumerable

multitude of people, in so much that

they tr one upon another, he began to

say unto his disciples, first of all,

Beware ye of the leavenven of the

Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Verse two, for there is nothing covered

that shall not be revealed, neither hid

that shall not be known.

Verse three, therefore whatsoever ye

have spoken in darkness shall be heard

in the light, and that which ye have

spoken in the ear and closets shall be

proclaimed upon the housetops. Verse

four, 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. Verse 5, but I will forewarn you

whom ye shall fear. Fear him which after

he hath killed hath power to cast into

hell. Ya, I say unto you, fear him.

Verses six, are not five sparrows sold

for two farings, and not one of them is

forgotten before God? Seven, but even

the very hairs of your head are all

numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye are of

more value than many sparrows. Verse 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. Verse 9, but he that denieth me

before men shall be denied before the

angels of God. Verse 10, and whosoever

shall speak a word against the Son of

Man, it shall be forgiven him, but unto

him that blasphemeth against the Holy

Ghost, it shall not be forgiven. Verse

11. And when they bring you unto the

synagogues, and unto magistrates and

powers, take ye no thought how or what

thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall

say. Verse 12.

For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in

the same hour what ye ought to say.

Verse 13. And one of the company said

unto him, Master, speak to my brother

that he divide the inheritance with me.

Verse 14. And he said unto him, Man, who

made me a judge or a divider over you?

Verse 15. And he said unto them, Take

heed and beware of covetousness. For a

man's life consisteth not in the

abundance of the things which he

possesseth. Verse 16. And he spake a

parable unto them, saying, The ground of

a certain rich man brought forth

plentifully. Verses 17. And he thought

within himself, saying, What shall I do

because I have no room where to bestow

my fruits? Verse 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. Verse 19.

And I will say to my soul, soul, thou

hast much goods laid up for many years.

Take thine knees, eat, drink, and be

merry. Verse 20. But God said unto him,

Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be

required of thee, then who shall those

things be which thou hast provided?

Verse 21.

So is he that layeth up treasure for

himself, and is not rich toward God?

Verse 22.

And he said unto his disciples,

therefore I say unto you, take no

thought for your life what ye shall eat,

neither for the body what ye shall put

on. Verse 23, the life is more than

meat, and the body is more than raignnt.

Verse 24, consider the ravens, for they

neither sow nor reap, which neither have

storehouse nor barn, and God feedth

them. How much more are ye better than

the fowls? Verse 25. And which of you

with taking thought can add to his

stature one cubit? Verse 26.

If you then be not able to do that thing

which is least, I take ye thought for

the rest. 27

Consider the liies 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.

28 If then God so clothe the grass which

is today in the field and tomorrow is

cast into the oven, how much more will

he clothe you, oh ye of little faith?

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or

what ye shall drink, neither be ye of

doubtful mind. 30 For all these things

do the nations of the world seek after,

and your father knoweth that ye have

need of these things. 31 But rather seek

ye the kingdom of God, and all these

things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear

not, little flock, for it is your

father's good pleasure to give you the

kingdom. 33 Sell that ye have, and give

alms. Provide yourselves bags which wax

not old, a treasure in the heavens that

faileth not, where no thief approacheth,

neither moth corrupteth. 34 For where

your treasure is, there will your heart

be also. 35 Let your loins be girded

about, and your lights burning. Verse

36.

And ye yourselves like unto men that

wait for their Lord, when he will return

from the wedding, that when he cometh

and knockth, they may open unto him

immediately.

Verse 37. Blessed are those servants

whom the Lord when he cometh shall find

watching.

Verily I say unto you that he shall gird

himself and make them to sit down to

meet and will come forth and serve them.

Verse 38 And if he shall come in the

second watch or come in the third watch

and find them so. Blessed are those

servants.

39

And this know that if the goodman of the

house had known what hour the thief

would come, he would have watched and

not have suffered his house to be broken

through.

40 Be ye therefore ready also, for the

Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye

think not. 41

Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest

thou this parable unto us, or even to

all. Verse 42, And the Lord said, Who

then is that faithful and wise steward,

whom his Lord shall make ruler over his

household? Give them their portion of

meat in due season. Verse 43. Blessed is

that servant whom his lord when he

cometh shall find so doing. Verse 44. Of

a truth I say unto you, that he will

make him ruler over all that he hath.

Verse 45. But and if that servant say in

his heart, my lord delayeth his coming,

and shall begin to beat the men's

servants and maidens, and to eat and

drink, and to be drunken.

Verses 46.

The Lord of that servant will come in a

day when he lookth 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 48.

But he that knew not, and did commit

things worthy of stripes, shall be

beaten with few stripes. For unto

whomsoever much is given, of him shall

be much required, and to whom men have

committed much, of him they will ask the

more.

Verse 49, I am come to send fire on the

earth, and what will I if it be already

kindled? Verse 50, but I have a baptism

to be baptized with, and how am I

straightened till it be accomplished?

Verse 51.

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace

on earth, I tell you, nay, but rather

division. Verse 52. For from henceforth

there shall be five in one house

divided, three against two, and two

against three. Verse 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.

Verse 54. And he said also to the

people, "When ye see a cloud rise out of

the west, straightway ye say, there

cometh a shower, and so it is." Verse

55. And when ye see the south wind blow,

ye say, There will be heat, and it

cometh to pass. Verse 56, Ye hypocrites,

ye can discern the face of the sky and

of the earth, but how is it that you do

not discern this time? Verse 57, Ya, and

why even of yourselves judge ye not what

is right? Verse 58.

When thou goest with thine adversary to

the magistrate, as thou art in the way,

give diligence that thou mayest be

delivered from him, lest he hail thee to

the judge, and the judge deliver thee to

the officer, and the officer cast thee

into prison. Verse 59. I tell thee, thou

shalt not depart thence, till thou hast

paid the very last might. Chapter 13:1.

There were present at that season some

that told him of the Galileans whose

blood Pilate had mingled with their

sacrifices. Verse two. And Jesus

answering said unto them, suppose ye

that these Galileans were sinners above

all the Galileans, because they suffered

such things. Verse three, I tell you

nay, but except ye repent, ye shall all

likewise perish. Verse four. or those 18

upon whom the tower in Saleom fell and

slew them, think ye that they were

sinners above all men that dwelt in

Jerusalem.

Verse 5, I tell you, nay, but except ye

repent, he shall all likewise perish.

Verse 6, he spake also this parable.

A certain man had a fig tree planted in

his vineyard, and he came and sought

fruit thereon, and found none. Verse 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 cumberereth

the ground? Verse 8. And he answering

said unto him, Lord, let it alone this

year also, till I shall dig about it and

dung it. Verse 9. And if it bear fruit,

well, and if not, then after that thou

shalt cut it down. Verse 10. and he was

teaching in one of the synagogues on the

Sabbath. Verse 11, and behold, there was

a woman which had a spirit of infirmity

18 years, and was bowed together, and

could in no wise lift up herself.

Verse 12, and when Jesus saw her, he

called her to him, and said unto her,

Woman, thou art loosed from thine

infirmity.

Verse 13. And he laid his hands on her,

and immediately she was made straight

and glorified God. Verse 14. And the

ruler of the synagogue answered with

indignation, because that Jesus had

healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto

the people, There are six days in which

men ought to work. In them, therefore,

come and be healed, and not on the

Sabbath day. Verse 15. The Lord then

answered him and said, "Thou hypocrite,

doth not each one of you on the Sabbath

loose his ox or his ass from the stall,

and lead him away to watering?" Verse

16, "And ought not this woman, being a

daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath

bound? Lo, these 18 years be loosed from

this bond on the Sabbath day?" Verse 11.

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. Verse 18.

Then said he, "Unto, what is the kingdom

of God like? And where unto shall I

resemble it?" Verse 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. Verse 20 and again he said where

unto shall I liken the kingdom of God.

21 It is like leavenan which a woman

took and hid in three measures of meal

till the whole was leavenvened. Verses

22. And he went through the cities and

villages teaching and journeying toward

Jerusalem. Verses 23. Then said one unto

him, Lord, are there few that be saved?

And he said unto them, verse 24, "Strive

to enter in at the straight gate, for

many, I say unto you, will seek to enter

in, and shall not be able." Verse 25.

When once the master of the house is

risen up, and hath shut to the door, and

ye begin to stand without, and to knock

at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open

unto us, and he shall answer, and say

unto you, I know you not whence ye are.

Verse 26, then shall ye begin to say, we

have eaten and drunk in thy presence,

and thou hast taught in our streets.

Verse 27, but he shall say, I tell you,

I know you not whence ye are. Depart

from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

Verse 28. There shall be weeping and

nashing of teeth when ye shall see

Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the

prophets in the kingdom of God and you

yourselves thrust out. Verse 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.

Verse 30. And behold, there are last

which shall be first, and there are

first which shall be last. Verse 31.

The same day there came certain of the

Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee

out, and depart hence, for Herod will

kill thee. Verse 32. And he said unto

them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold,

I cast out devils, and I do cures today

and tomorrow, and the third day I shall

be perfected. Verse 33.

Nevertheless, I must walk today and

tomorrow and the day following, for it

cannot be that a prophet perish out of

Jerusalem.

34

Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which klest the

prophets, and stonest them that are sent

unto thee. How often would I have

gathered thy children together, as a hen

doth gather her brood under her wings,

and ye would not?

Verse 35.

Behold, your house is left unto you

desolate. And verily I say unto you, Ye

shall not see me until the time come

when ye shall say, blessed is he that

cometh in the name of the Lord. Chapter

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. Two, and

behold, there was a certain man before

him which had the dropsy. Verse three.

And Jesus answering spake unto the

lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it

lawful to heal on the Sabbath day? Verse

four. And they held their peace. And he

took him and healed him and let him go.

Verse 5. And answered them, saying,

Which of you shall have an ass or an ox

fallen into a pit, and will not

straightway pull him out on the Sabbath

day? Verse 6. And they could not answer

him again to these things. Verse 7. And

he put forth a parable to those which

were bidden, when he marked how they

chose out the chief rooms, saying unto

them. Verse 8, when thou art bidden of

any man to a wedding, sit not down in

the highest room, lest a more honorable

man than thou be bidden of him. Verse 9,

and he that bathe thee in him come and

say to thee, give this man place, and

thou begin with shame to take the lowest

room. Verse 10. But when thou art

bidden, go and sit down in the lowest

room, that when he that bad thee cometh,

he may say unto thee, friend, go up

higher, then shalt thou have worship in

the presence of them that sit at me with

thee. Verse 11,

for whosoever exalteth himself shall be

abased, and he that humbleth himself

shall be exalted. Verse 12. Then said he

also to him that bade him, when thou

makest a dinner or a supper, call not

thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither

thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors,

lest they also bid thee again, and a

recompense be made thee. Verse 13, but

when thou makest a feast, call the poor,

the maimed, the lame, the blind. Verse

14, and thou shalt be blessed, for they

cannot recompense thee, for thou shalt

be recompensed at the resurrection of

the just. Verse 15.

And when one of them that sat at meat

with him heard these things, he said

unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat

bread in the kingdom of God.

Verse 16. Then said he unto him, A

certain man made a great supper, and

bade many. Verse 17. And sent his

servant at supper time to say to them

that were bidden, come, for all things

are now ready. Verse 18. And they all

with one consent began to make excuse.

The first said unto him, I have bought a

piece of ground, and I must needs go and

see it. I pray thee have me excused.

Verse 19. And another said, I have

bought five yolk of oxen, and I go to

prove them. I pray thee have me excused.

Verse 20. And another said, I have

married a wife, and therefore I cannot

come. Chapter 15 verse 1. Then drew near

unto him all the publicans and sinners

for to hear him. Verse two. And the

Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying,

This man receiveth sinners, and eateth

with them.

Verses three. And he spake this parable

unto them, saying, verse four, What man

of you having a hund sheep, if he lose

one of them, doth not leave the 90 and

nine in the wilderness, and go after

that which is lost, until he find it?

Verses 5. And when he hath found it, he

layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

Verses 6.

And when he cometh home, he calleth

together his friends and neighbors,

saying unto them, "Rejoice with me, for

I have found my sheep which was lost."

Verse 7, I say unto you, that likewise

joy shall be in heaven over one sinner

that repenteth, more than over 90, and

nine just persons which need no

repentance. Verse.

Either what woman having 10 pieces of

silver, if she lose one piece, doth not

light a candle, and sweep the house, and

seek diligently till she find it. Verse

9. And when she hath found it, she

calleth her friends and her neighbors

together, saying, "Rejoice with me, for

I have found the peace which I had

lost." Verse 10. Likewise, I say unto

you, there is joy in the presence of the

angels of God over one sinner that

repenteth. Verse 11, And he said, A

certain man had two sons. Verse 12. And

the younger of them said to his father,

Father, give me the portion of goods

that fall to me. And he divided unto

them his living. Verse 13. And not many

days after the younger son gathered

allto together and took his journey into

a far country, and there wasted his

substance with riotous living. Verse 14.

And when he had spent all, there arose a

mighty famine in that land, and he began

to be in want.

Verse 15,

and he went and joined himself to a

citizen of that country, and he sent him

into his fields to feed swine.

Verse 16. and he would fain if filled

his belly with the husks that the swine

did eat and no man gave unto him. Verse

17. And when he came to himself, he

said, How many hired servants of my

fathers have bread enough and to spare,

and I perish with hunger? Verse 18,

I will arise and go to my father and

will say unto him, Father, I have sinned

against heaven and before thee. Verse

19,

and am no more worthy to be called thy

son. make me as one of thy hired

servants. Verse 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.

Verse 21.

And the son said unto him, Father, I

have sinned against heaven and in thy

sight, and am no more worthy to be

called thy son. Verse 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." Verse 23, "And bring

hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and

let us eat and be merry." Verse 24. For

this my son was dead and is alive again.

He was lost and is found. And they began

to be merry. Verse 24. For this my son

was dead and is alive again. He was lost

and is found. and they began to be

merry. Verse 25.

Now his elder son was in the field, and

as he came and drew nigh to the house,

he heard music and dancing. Verse 26.

And he called one of the servants, and

asked what these things meant. Verse 27.

And he said unto him, "Thy brother is

come, and thy father hath killed the

fatted calf, because he hath received

him safe and sound." Verse 28. and he

was angry and would not go in. Therefore

came his father out and intreated him.

Verse 29. And he answering said to his

father, "Lo, these many years do I serve

thee, neither transgressed I at any time

thy commandment, and yet thou never

gavest me a kid, that I might make marry

with my friends." Verse 30.

But as soon as this thy son was come,

which hath devoured thy living with

harlots, thou hast killed for him the

fatted calf. Verse 31. And he said unto

him, son, thou art ever with me, and all

that I have is thine. Verse 32. It was

meat that we should make Mary, and be

glad. For this thy brother was dead and

is alive again, and was lost, and is
