CHAPTER 8

 MAT 8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
 MAT 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if
thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
 MAT 8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou
clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
 MAT 8:4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew
thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony
unto them.
 MAT 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a
centurion, beseeching him,
 MAT 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented.
 MAT 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
 MAT 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be
healed.
 MAT 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to
this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my
servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
 MAT 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed,
Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
 MAT 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and
shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
 MAT 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
 MAT 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast
believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame
hour.
 MAT 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother
laid, and sick of a fever.
 MAT 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and
ministered unto them.
 MAT 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed
with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were
sick:
 MAT 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
 MAT 8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to
depart unto the other side.
 MAT 8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow
thee whithersoever thou goest.
 MAT 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the
air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
 MAT 8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to
go and bury my father.
 MAT 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
 MAT 8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
 MAT 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the
ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
 MAT 8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us:
we perish.
 MAT 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then
he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
 MAT 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even
the winds and the sea obey him!
 MAT 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the
Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs,
exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
 MAT 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee,
Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
 MAT 8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
 MAT 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to
go away into the herd of swine.
 MAT 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into
the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a
steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
 MAT 8:33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and
told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
 MAT 8:34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw
him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.


                               CHAPTER 9

 MAT 9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own
city.
 MAT 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a
bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of
good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
 MAT 9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man
blasphemeth.
 MAT 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your
hearts?
 MAT 9:5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say,
Arise, and walk?
 MAT 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive
sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go
unto thine house.
 MAT 9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
 MAT 9:8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God,
which had given such power unto men.
 MAT 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew,
sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he
arose, and followed him.
 MAT 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many
publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
 MAT 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why
eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
 MAT 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need
not a physician, but they that are sick.
 MAT 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
 MAT 9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the
Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
 MAT 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn,
as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the
bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
 MAT 9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that
which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made
worse.
 MAT 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break,
and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new
bottles, and both are preserved.
 MAT 9:18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain
ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and
lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
 MAT 9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
 MAT 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve
years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
 MAT 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall
be whole.
 MAT 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be
of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole
from that hour.
 MAT 9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and
the people making a noise,
 MAT 9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.
And they laughed him to scorn.
 MAT 9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the
hand, and the maid arose.
 MAT 9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
 MAT 9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying,
and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
 MAT 9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and
Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him,
Yea, Lord.
 MAT 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto
you.
 MAT 9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying,
See that no man know it.
 MAT 9:31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that
country.
 MAT 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed
with a devil.
 MAT 9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes
marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
 MAT 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of
the devils.
 MAT 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness
and every disease among the people.
 MAT 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them,
because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
 MAT 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but
the labourers are few;
 MAT 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth
labourers into his harvest.


                               CHAPTER 10

 MAT 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them
power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of
sickness and all manner of disease.
 MAT 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who
is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother;
 MAT 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the
son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
 MAT 10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
 MAT 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into
the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
 MAT 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
 MAT 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
 MAT 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:
freely ye have received, freely give.
 MAT 10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
 MAT 10:10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet
staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
 MAT 10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is
worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
 MAT 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
 MAT 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be
not worthy, let your peace return to you.
 MAT 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye
depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
 MAT 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of
Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
 MAT 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye
therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
 MAT 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and
they will scourge you in their synagogues;
 MAT 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a
testimony against them and the Gentiles.
 MAT 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall
speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
 MAT 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which
speaketh in you.
 MAT 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father
the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them
to be put to death.
 MAT 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that
endureth to the end shall be saved.
 MAT 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for
verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till
the Son of man be come.
 MAT 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
 MAT 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the
servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how
much more shall they call them of his household?
 MAT 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not
be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
 MAT 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear
in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
 MAT 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the
soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
 MAT 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not
fall on the ground without your Father.
 MAT 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
 MAT 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
 MAT 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess
also before my Father which is in heaven.
 MAT 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before
my Father which is in heaven.
 MAT 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword.
 MAT 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
 MAT 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
 MAT 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and
he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
 MAT 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not
worthy of me.
 MAT 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life
for my sake shall find it.
 MAT 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me.
 MAT 10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a
prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a
righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
 MAT 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup
of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in
no wise lose his reward.


                              CHAPTER 11

 MAT 11:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his
twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
 MAT 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two
of his disciples,
 MAT 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for
another?
 MAT 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things
which ye do hear and see:
 MAT 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the
gospel preached to them.
 MAT 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
 MAT 11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes
concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with
the wind?
 MAT 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment?
behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
 MAT 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and
more than a prophet.
 MAT 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
 MAT 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath
not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in
the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
 MAT 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
 MAT 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
 MAT 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
 MAT 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
 MAT 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children
sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
 MAT 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have
mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
 MAT 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a
devil.
 MAT 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man
gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is
justified of her children.
 MAT 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works
were done, because they repented not:
 MAT 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty
works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have
repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
 MAT 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at
the day of judgment, than for you.
 MAT 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought
down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been
done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
 MAT 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of
Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
 MAT 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes.
 MAT 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
 MAT 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the
Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to
whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
 MAT 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.
 MAT 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in
heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
 MAT 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


                               CHAPTER 12

 MAT 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his
disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
 MAT 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
 MAT 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an
hungred, and they that were with him;
 MAT 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which
was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only
for the priests?
 MAT 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the
priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
 MAT 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
 MAT 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
 MAT 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
 MAT 12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
 MAT 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they
asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might
accuse him.
 MAT 12:11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall
have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay
hold on it, and lift it out?
 MAT 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to
do well on the sabbath days.
 MAT 12:13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched
it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
 MAT 12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they
might destroy him.
 MAT 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great
multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
 MAT 12:16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
 MAT 12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying,
 MAT 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is
well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the
Gentiles.
 MAT 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in
the streets.
 MAT 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not
quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
 MAT 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
 MAT 12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and
dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
 MAT 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of
David?
 MAT 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast
out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
 MAT 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom
divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided
against itself shall not stand:
 MAT 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall
then his kingdom stand?
 MAT 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast
them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
 MAT 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of
God is come unto you.
 MAT 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his
goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
 MAT 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with
me scattereth abroad.
 MAT 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be
forgiven unto men.
 MAT 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be
forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be
forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
 MAT 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree
corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
 MAT 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
 MAT 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good
things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
 MAT 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they
shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
 MAT 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned.
 MAT 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying,
Master, we would see a sign from thee.
 MAT 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of
the prophet Jonas:
 MAT 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so
shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
 MAT 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and
shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold,
a greater than Jonas is here.
 MAT 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the
earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is
here.
 MAT 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
 MAT 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out;
and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
 MAT 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself 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. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked
generation.
 MAT 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his
brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
 MAT 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand
without, desiring to speak with thee.
 MAT 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother?
and who are my brethren?
 MAT 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said,
Behold my mother and my brethren!
 MAT 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the
same is my brother, and sister, and mother.


                              CHAPTER 13

 MAT 13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
 MAT 13:2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went
into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
 MAT 13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a
sower went forth to sow;
 MAT 13:4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came
and devoured them up:
 MAT 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and
forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
 MAT 13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no
root, they withered away.
 MAT 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
 MAT 13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an
hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
 MAT 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
 MAT 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto
them in parables?
 MAT 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
 MAT 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more
abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he
hath.
 MAT 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not;
and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
 MAT 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By
hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and
shall not perceive:
 MAT 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of
hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with
their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and
should be converted, and I should heal them.
 MAT 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they
hear.
 MAT 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have
desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear
those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
 MAT 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
 MAT 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it
not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his
heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
 MAT 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that
heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
 MAT 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when
tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is
offended.
 MAT 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the
word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the
word, and he becometh unfruitful.
 MAT 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the
word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some
an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
 MAT 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
 MAT 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat,
and went his way.
 MAT 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then
appeared the tares also.
 MAT 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst
not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
 MAT 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto
him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
 MAT 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also
the wheat with them.
 MAT 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest
I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in
bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
 MAT 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
 MAT 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is
the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come
and lodge in the branches thereof.
 MAT 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like
unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the
whole was leavened.
 MAT 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and
without a parable spake he not unto them:
 MAT 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I
will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret
from the foundation of the world.
 MAT 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his
disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the
field.
 MAT 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the
Son of man;
 MAT 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the
kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
 MAT 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the
world; and the reapers are the angels.
 MAT 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall
it be in the end of this world.
 MAT 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out
of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
 MAT 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing
and gnashing of teeth.
 MAT 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of
their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
 MAT 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field;
the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and
selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
 MAT 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking
goodly pearls:
 MAT 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all
that he had, and bought it.
 MAT 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into
the sea, and gathered of every kind:
 MAT 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
 MAT 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth,
and sever the wicked from among the just,
 MAT 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing
and gnashing of teeth.
 MAT 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say
unto him, Yea, Lord.
 MAT 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed
unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which
bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
 MAT 13:53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he
departed thence.
 MAT 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their
synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man
this wisdom, and these mighty works?
 MAT 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and
his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
 MAT 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man
all these things?
 MAT 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is
not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
 MAT 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.


                              CHAPTER 14

 MAT 14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
 MAT 14:2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from
the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
 MAT 14:3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison
for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
 MAT 14:4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
 MAT 14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude,
because they counted him as a prophet.
 MAT 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced
before them, and pleased Herod.
 MAT 14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would
ask.
 MAT 14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here
John Baptist's head in a charger.
 MAT 14:9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them
which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
 MAT 14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
 MAT 14:11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and
she brought it to her mother.
 MAT 14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went
and told Jesus.
 MAT 14:13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert
place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot
out of the cities.
 MAT 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with
compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
 MAT 14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a
desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may
go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
 MAT 14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
 MAT 14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
 MAT 14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
 MAT 14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the
five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and
brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
 MAT 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
 MAT 14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women
and children.
 MAT 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship,
and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
 MAT 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain
apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
 MAT 14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for
the wind was contrary.
 MAT 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on
the sea.
 MAT 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
 MAT 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it
is I; be not afraid.
 MAT 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come
unto thee on the water.
 MAT 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he
walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
 MAT 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to
sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
 MAT 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and
said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
 MAT 14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
 MAT 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a
truth thou art the Son of God.
 MAT 14:34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
 MAT 14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out
into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
 MAT 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment:
and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
