1:1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration 
    of those things which are most surely believed among us,
1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were 
    eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
1:3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all 
    things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent 
    Theophilus,
1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast 
    been instructed.
1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest 
    named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the 
    daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments 
    and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
1:7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both 
    were now well stricken in years.
1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before 
    God in the order of his course,
1:9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn 
    incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time 
    of incense.
1:11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right 
    side of the altar of incense.
1:12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is 
    heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call 
    his name John.
1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his 
    birth.
1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither 
    wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even 
    from his mother's womb.
1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn 
    the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the 
    wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am 
    an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the 
    presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee these 
    glad tidings.
1:20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day 
    that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, 
    which shall be fulfilled in their season.
1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so 
    long in the temple.
1:22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived 
    that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and 
    remained speechless.
1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were 
    accomplished, he departed to his own house.
1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five 
    months, saying,
1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, 
    to take away my reproach among men.
1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city 
    of Galilee, named Nazareth,
1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of 
    David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly 
    favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
1:29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her 
    mind what manner of salutation this should be.
1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour 
    with God.
1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, 
    and shalt call his name JESUS.
1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the 
    Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom 
    there shall be no end.
1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a 
    man?
1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come 
    upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore 
    also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son 
    of God.
1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her 
    old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according 
    to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
1:39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, 
    into a city of Juda;
1:40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, 
    the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among 
    women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
1:43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, 
    the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of 
    those things which were told her from the Lord.
1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, 
    from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his 
    name.
1:50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
1:51 He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in 
    the imagination of their hearts.
1:52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low 
    degree.
1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent 
    empty away.
1:54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
1:55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
1:56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own 
    house.
1:57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she 
    brought forth a son.
1:58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great 
    mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
1:59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the 
    child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
1:60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
1:61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by 
    this name.
1:62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
1:63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. 
    And they marvelled all.
1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he 
    spake, and praised God.
1:65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings 
    were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
1:66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, 
    What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, 
    saying,
1:68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed 
    his people,
1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his 
    servant David;
1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since 
    the world began:
1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that 
    hate us;
1:72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his 
    holy covenant;
1:73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of 
    our enemies might serve him without fear,
1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou 
    shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of 
    their sins,
1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high 
    hath visited us,
1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, 
    to guide our feet into the way of peace.
1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts 
    till the day of his showing unto Israel.
2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from 
    Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into 
    Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he 
    was of the house and lineage of David:)
2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished 
    that she should be delivered.
2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling 
    clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in 
    the inn.
2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, 
    keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord 
    shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good 
    tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is 
    Christ the Lord.
2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in 
    swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host 
    praising God, and saying,
2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, 
    the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, 
    and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known 
    unto us.
2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe 
    lying in a manger.
2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which 
    was told them concerning this child.
2:18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told 
    them by the shepherds.
2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the 
    things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, 
    his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was 
    conceived in the womb.
2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses 
    were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to 
    the Lord;
2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the 
    womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of 
    the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and 
    the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: 
    and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see 
    death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
2:27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought 
    in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
2:28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy 
    word:
2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken 
    of him.
2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this 
    child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a 
    sign which shall be spoken against;
2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the 
    thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the 
    tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband 
    seven years from her virginity;
2:37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed 
    not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night 
    and day.
2:38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and 
    spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
2:39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, 
    they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and 
    the grace of God was upon him.
2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the 
    passover.
2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the 
    custom of the feast.
2:43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus 
    tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
2:44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's 
    journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
2:45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, 
    seeking him.
2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, 
    sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them 
    questions.
2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, 
    Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have 
    sought thee sorrowing.
2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I 
    must be about my Father's business?
2:50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
2:51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto 
    them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and 
    man.
3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius 
    Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, 
    and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of 
    Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto 
    John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of 
    repentance for the remission of sins;
3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, 
    The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, 
    make his paths straight.
3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be 
    brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways 
    shall be made smooth;
3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O 
    generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say 
    within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, 
    That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
3:9 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree 
    therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast 
    into the fire.
3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him 
    impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, 
    what shall we do?
3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? 
    And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any 
    falsely; and be content with your wages.
3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their 
    hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; 
    but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not 
    worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and 
    will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with 
    fire unquenchable.
3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother 
    Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also 
    being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, 
    and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in 
    thee I am well pleased.
3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was 
    supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
3:24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was 
    the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of 
    Joseph,
3:25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which 
    was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son 
    of Nagge,

    was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son 
    of Juda,
3:27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was 
    the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the 
    son of Neri,
3:28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was 
    the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son 
    of Er,
3:29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was 
    the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son 
    of Levi,
3:30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was 
    the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of 
    Eliakim,
3:31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was 
    the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son 
    of David,
3:32 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was 
    the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of 
    Naasson,
3:33 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was 
    the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of 
    Juda,
3:34 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was 
    the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son 
    of Nachor,
3:35 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was 
    the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of 
    Sala,
3:36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which 
    was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of 
    Lamech,
3:37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which 
    was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the 
    son of Cainan,
3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was 
    the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led 
    by the Spirit into the wilderness,
4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat 
    nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this 
    stone that it be made bread.
4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live 
    by bread alone, but by every word of God.
4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all 
    the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the 
    glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I 
    give it.
4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it 
    is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou 
    serve.
4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, 
    and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from 
    hence:
4:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep 
    thee:
4:11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou 
    dash thy foot against a stone.
4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the 
    Lord thy God.
4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him 
    for a season.
4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there 
    went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his 
    custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up 
    for to read.
4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And 
    when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to 
    preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 
    to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the 
    blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat 
    down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened 
    on him.
4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in 
    your ears.
4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which 
    proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, 
    Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do 
    also here in thy country.
4:24 And he said, Verily, I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own 
    country.
4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of 
    Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when 
    great famine was throughout all the land;
4:26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of 
    Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and 
    none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
4:28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were 
    filled with wrath,
4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow 
    of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down 
    headlong.
4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
4:31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the 
    sabbath days.
4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean 
    devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
4:34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of 
    Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the 
    Holy One of God.
4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And 
    when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt 
    him not.
4:36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a 
    word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean 
    spirits, and they come out.
4:37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
4:38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And 
    Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought 
    him for her.
4:39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and 
    immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
4:40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers 
    diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of 
    them, and healed them.
4:41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art 
    Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: 
    for they knew that he was Christ.
4:42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the 
    people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not 
    depart from them.
4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities 
    also: for therefore am I sent.
4:44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the 
    word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out 
    of them, and were washing their nets.
5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him 
    that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and 
    taught the people out of the ship.
5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the 
    deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, 
    and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
5:6 And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: 
    and their net brake.
5:7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, 
    that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the 
    ships, so that they began to sink.
5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart 
    from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
5:9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the 
    fishes which they had taken:
5:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were 
    partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from 
    henceforth thou shalt catch men.
5:11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and 
    followed him.
5:12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full 
    of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, 
    Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
5:13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou 
    clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
5:14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself to the 
    priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a 
    testimony unto them.
5:15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great 
    multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their 
    infirmities.
5:16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
5:17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there 
    were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of 
    every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the 
    Lord was present to heal them.
5:18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: 
    and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
5:19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in 
    because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down 
    through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are 
    forgiven thee.
5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this 
    which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, 
    What reason ye in your hearts?
5:23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise 
    up and walk?
5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to 
    forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, 
    Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
5:25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, 
    and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
5:26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with 
    fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
5:27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, 
    sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
5:28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
5:29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great 
    company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
5:30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, 
    Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
5:31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a 
    physician; but they that are sick.
5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and 
    make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine 
    eat and drink?
5:34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, 
    while the bridegroom is with them?
5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from 
    them, and then shall they fast in those days.
5:36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new 
    garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and 
    the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will 
    burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he 
    saith, The old is better.
6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went 
    through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and 
    did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not 
    lawful to do on the sabbath days?
6:3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what 
    David did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were with him;
6:4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the showbread, 
    and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat 
    but for the priests alone?
6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6:6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the 
    synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
6:7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the 
    sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
6:8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered 
    hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
6:9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the 
    sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
6:10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch 
    forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the 
    other.
6:11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what 
    they might do to Jesus.
6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to 
    pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
6:13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he 
    chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
6:14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and 
    John, Philip and Bartholomew,
6:15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called 
    Zelotes,
6:16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was 
    the traitor.
6:17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of 
    his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and 
    Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear 
    him, and to be healed of their diseases;
6:18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out 
    of him, and healed them all.
6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye 
    poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye
     that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate 
    you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your 
    name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is 
    great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the 
    prophets.
6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
6:25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that 
    laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their 
    fathers to the false prophets.
6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which 
    hate you,
6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; 
    and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy 
    goods ask them not again.
6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners 
    also love those that love them.
6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for 
    sinners also do even the same.
6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? 
    for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing 
    again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of 
    the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be 
    condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and 
    shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For 
    with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you 
    again.
6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall 
    they not both fall into the ditch?
6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect 
    shall be as his master.
6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but 
    perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the 
    mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that 
    is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of 
    thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that 
    is in thy brother's eye.
6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a 
    corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not 
    gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that 
    which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart 
    bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his 
    mouth speaketh.
6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will 
    show you to whom he is like:
6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the 
    foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat 
    vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded 
    upon a rock.
6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a 
    foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did 
    beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was 
    great.
7:1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he 
    entered into Capernaum.
7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and 
    ready to die.
7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, 
    beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That 
    he was worthy for whom he should do this:
7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, 
    the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not 
    thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a 
    word, and my servant shall be healed.
7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I 
    say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and 
    to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, 
    and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not 
    found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant 
    whole that had been sick.
7:11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; 
    and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
7:12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead 
    man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and 
    much people of the city was with her.
7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, 
    Weep not.
7:14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. 
    And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
7:15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him 
    to his mother.
7:16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a 
    great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
7:17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout 
    all the region round about.
7:18 And the disciples of John showed him of all these things.
7:19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, 
    saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
7:20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us 
    unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
7:21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, 
    and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
7:22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what 
    things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, 
    the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor 
    the gospel is preached.
7:23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto 
    the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to 
    see? A reed shaken with the wind?
7:25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, 
    they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' 
    courts.
7:26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and 
    much more than a prophet.
7:27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before 
    thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a 
    greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the 
    kingdom of God is greater than he.
7:29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, 
    being baptized with the baptism of John.
7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against 
    themselves, being not baptized of him.
7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this 
    generation? and to what are they like?
7:32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one 
    to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; 
    we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and 
    ye say, He hath a devil.
7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a 
    gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he 
    went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew 
    that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster 
    box of ointment,
7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet 
    with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed 
    his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within 
    himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who 
    and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto 
    thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five 
    hundred pence, and the other fifty.
7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me 
    therefore, which of them will love him most?
7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. 
    And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I 
    entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she 
    hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her 
    head.
7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath 
    not ceased to kiss my feet.
7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my 
    feet with ointment.
7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for 
    she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who 
    is this that forgiveth sins also?
7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and 
    village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: 
    and the twelve were with him,
8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, 
    Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many 
    others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
8:4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of 
    every city, he spake by a parable:
8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way 
    side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered 
    away, because it lacked moisture.
8:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it
    .
8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an 
    hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath 
    ears to hear, let him hear.
8:9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom 
    of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and 
    hearing they might not understand.
8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and 
    taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and 
    be saved.
8:13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word 
    with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time 
    of temptation fall away.
8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, 
    go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this 
    life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, 
    having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or 
    putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they 
    which enter in may see the light.
8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any 
    thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be 
    given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which 
    he seemeth to have.
8:19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at 
    him for the press.
8:20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy 
    brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these 
    which hear the word of God, and do it.
8:22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his 
    disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of 
    the lake. And they launched forth.
8:23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind 
    on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
8:24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. 
    Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and 
    they ceased, and there was a calm.
8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid 
    wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he 
    commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
8:26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against 
    Galilee.
8:27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain 
    man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in 
    any house, but in the tombs.
8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a 
    loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God 
    most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
8:29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For 
    oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in 
    fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the 
    wilderness.)
8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: 
    because many devils were entered into him.
8:31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the 
    deep.
8:32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and 
    they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he 
    suffered them.
8:33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and 
    the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
8:34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and 
    told it in the city and in the country.
8:35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found 
    the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of 
    Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
8:36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed 
    of the devils was healed.
8:37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about 
    besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: 
    and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
8:38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he 
    might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
8:39 Return to thine own house, and 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.
8:40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly 
    received him: for they were all waiting for him.
8:41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the 
    synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he 
    would come into his house:
8:42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a 
    dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all 
    her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
8:44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and 
    immediately her issue of blood stanched.
8:45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that 
    were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, 
    and sayest thou, Who touched me?
8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is 
    gone out of me.
8:47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and 
    falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for 
    what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made 
    thee whole; go in peace.
8:49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's 
    house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
8:50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe 
    only, and she shall be made whole.
8:51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, 
    and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, 
    but sleepeth.
8:53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, 
    Maid, arise.
8:55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded 
    to give her meat.
8:56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should 
    tell no man what was done.
9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and 
    authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
9:3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, 
    nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
9:4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
9:5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake 
    off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
9:6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and 
    healing every where.
9:7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was 
    perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from 
    the dead;
9:8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old 
    prophets was risen again.
9:9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear 
    such things? And he desired to see him.
9:10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had 
    done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place 
    belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
9:11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, 
    and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need 
    of healing.
9:12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said 
    unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and 
    country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a 
    desert place.
9:13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no 
    more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat 
    for all this people.
9:14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, 
    Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
9:15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
9:16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to 
    heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set 
    before the multitude.
9:17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of 
    fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with 
    him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
9:19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and 
    others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The 
    Christ of God.
9:21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that 
    thing;
9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the 
    elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the 
    third day.
9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him 
    deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose 
    his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose 
    himself, or be cast away?
9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the 
    Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his 
    Father's, and of the holy angels.
9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not 
    taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
9:28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took 
    Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his 
    raiment was white and glistering.
9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should 
    accomplish at Jerusalem.
9:32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when 
    they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
9:33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 
    Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; 
    one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he 
    said.
9:34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and 
    they feared as they entered into the cloud.
9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: 
    hear him.
9:36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it 
    close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had 
    seen.
9:37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down 
    from the hill, much people met him.
9:38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech 
    thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
9:39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it 
    teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth 
    from him.
9:40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
9:41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long 
    shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. 
    And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and 
    delivered him again to his father.
9:43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they 
    wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his 
    disciples,
9:44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be 
    delivered into the hands of men.
9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that 
    they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
9:46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be 
    greatest.
9:47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set 
    him by him,
9:48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name 
    receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: 
    for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in 
    thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against 
    us is for us.
9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up
    , he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a 
    village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would 
    go to Jerusalem.
9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt 
    thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, 
    even as Elias did?
9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of 
    spirit ye are of.
9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them
    . And they went to another village.
9:57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man 
    said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have 
    nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first 
    to go and bury my father.
9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and 
    preach the kingdom of God.
9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go 
    bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and 
    looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them 
    two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he 
    himself would come.
10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the 
    labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he 
    would send forth labourers into his harvest.
10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
10:4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
10:5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, 
    it shall turn to you again.
10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they 
    give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such 
    things as are set before you:
10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of 
    God is come nigh unto you.
10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your 
    ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off 
    against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God 
    is come nigh unto you.
10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for 
    Sodom, than for that city.
10:13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty 
    works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they 
    had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, 
    than for you.
10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down 
    to hell.
10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; 
    and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils 
    are subject unto us through thy name.
10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and 
    over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto 
    you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, 
    Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise 
    and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so 
    it seemed good in thy sight.
10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who 
    the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he 
    to whom the Son will reveal him.
10:23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed 
    are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those 
    things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things 
    which ye hear, and have not heard them.
10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, 
    what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy 
    heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all 
    thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou 
    shalt live.
10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my 
    neighbour?
10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to 
    Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and 
    wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he 
    saw him, he passed by on the other side.
10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on 
    him, and passed by on the other side.
10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when 
    he saw him, he had compassion on him,
10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, 
    and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care 
    of him.
10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave 
    them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever 
    thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that 
    fell among the thieves?
10:37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, 
    and do thou likewise.
10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain 
    village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and 
    heard his word.
10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, 
    Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid 
    her therefore that she help me.
10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful 
    and troubled about many things:
10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which 
    shall not be taken away from her.
11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when 
    he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, 
    as John also taught his disciples.
11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, 
    Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, 
    so in earth.
11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted 
    to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go 
    unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing 
    to set before him?
11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is 
    now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his 
    friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many 
    as he needeth.
11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall 
    find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and 
    to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give 
    him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: 
    how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them 
    that ask him?
11:14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, 
    when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
11:15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the 
    chief of the devils.
11:16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided 
    against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a 
    house falleth.
11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? 
    because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them 
    out? therefore shall they be your judges.
11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom 
    of God is come upon you.
11:21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
11:22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he 
    taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his 
    spoils.
11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with 
    me scattereth.
11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry 
    places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my 
    house whence I came out.
11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked 
    than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state 
    of that man is worse than the first.
11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the 
    company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb 
    that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, 
    and keep it.
11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, 
    This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be 
    given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of 
    man be to this generation.
11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of 
    this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of 
    the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than 
    Solomon is here.
11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, 
    and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, 
    behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, 
    neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in 
    may see the light.
11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, 
    thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy 
    body also is full of darkness.
11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
11:36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, 
    the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle 
    doth give thee light.
11:37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and 
    he went in, and sat down to meat.
11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first 
    washed before dinner.
11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside 
    of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and 
    wickedness.
11:40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which 
    is within also?
11:41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all 
    things are clean unto you.
11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner 
    of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to 
    have done, and not to leave the other undone.
11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the 
    synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves 
    which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of 
    them.
11:45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus 
    saying thou reproachest us also.
11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with 
    burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens 
    with one of your fingers.
11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your 
    fathers killed them.
11:48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for 
    they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and 
    apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation 
    of the world, may be required of this generation;
11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished 
    between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be 
    required of this generation.
11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye 
    entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
11:53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees 
    began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many 
    things:
11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, 
    that they might accuse him.
12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable 
    multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began 
    to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the 
    Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, 
    that shall not be known.
12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the 
    light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be 
    proclaimed upon the housetops.
12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, 
    and after that have no more that they can do.
12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he 
    hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is 
    forgotten before God?
12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not 
    therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall 
    the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of 
    God.
12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be 
    forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it 
    shall not be forgiven.
12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, 
    and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or 
    what ye shall say:
12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to 
    say.
12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, 
    that he divide the inheritance with me.
12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man'
    s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich 
    man brought forth plentifully:
12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have 
    no room where to bestow my fruits?
12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build 
    greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many 
    years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be 
    required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast 
    provided?
12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward 
    God.
12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no 
    thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye 
    shall put on.
12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have 
    storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better 
    than the fowls?
12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye 
    thought for the rest?
12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and 
    yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like 
    one of these.
12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to 
    morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye 
    of little faith?
12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be 
    ye of doubtful mind.
12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your 
    Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be 
    added unto you.
12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give 
    you the kingdom.
12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax 
    not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief 
    approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will 
    return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open 
    unto him immediately.
12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find 
    watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make 
    them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, 
    and find them so, blessed are those servants.
12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour 
    the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his 
    house to be broken through.
12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when 
    ye think not.
12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or 
    even to all?
12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom 
    his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their 
    portion of meat in due season?
12:43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so 
    doing.
12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that 
    he hath.
12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 
    and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, 
    and to be drunken;
12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for 
    him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, 
    and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself
    , neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall 
    be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him 
    shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they 
    will ask the more.
12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already 
    kindled?
12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till 
    it be accomplished!
12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but 
    rather division:
12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three 
    against two, and two against three.
12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the 
    father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the 
    mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter 
    in law against her mother in law.
12:54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the 
    west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
12:55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and 
    it cometh to pass.
12:56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; 
    but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art 
    in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest 
    he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, 
    and the officer cast thee into prison.
12:59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the 
    very last mite.
13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, 
    whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
13:2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans 
    were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, 
    think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in 
    his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three 
    years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; 
    why cumbereth it the ground?
13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I 
    shall dig about it, and dung it:
13:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt 
    cut it down.
13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
13:11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity 
    eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up 
    herself.
13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, 
    Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13:13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, 
    and glorified God.
13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that 
    Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are 
    six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, 
    and not on the sabbath day.
13:15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each 
    one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and 
    lead him away to watering?
13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath 
    bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath 
    day?
13:17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: 
    and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done 
    by him.
13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto 
    shall I resemble it?
13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into 
    his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the 
    air lodged in the branches of it.
13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, 
    till the whole was leavened.
13:22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying 
    toward Jerusalem.
13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said 
    unto them,
13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will 
    seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the 
    door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, 
    Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know 
    you not whence ye are:
13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, 
    and thou hast taught in our streets.
13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart 
    from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, 
    and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and 
    you yourselves thrust out.
13:29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the 
    north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first 
    which shall be last.
13:31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get 
    thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out 
    devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall 
    be perfected.
13:33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: 
    for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them 
    that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children 
    together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye 
    would not!
13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, 
    Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is 
    he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14:1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief 
    Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
14:2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it 
    lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
14:4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let 
    him go;
14:5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox 
    fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath 
    day?
14:6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
14:7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked 
    how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
14:8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the 
    highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
14:9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; 
    and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that 
    when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: 
    then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat 
    with thee.
14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth 
    himself shall be exalted.
14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a 
    supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor 
    thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be 
    made thee.
14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the 
    blind:
14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou 
    shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he 
    said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, 
    Come; for all things are now ready.
14:18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said 
    unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: 
    I pray thee have me excused.
14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove 
    them: I pray thee have me excused.
14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
14:21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the 
    master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into 
    the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the 
    maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet 
    there is room.
14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, 
    and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall 
    taste of my supper.
14:25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto 
    them,
14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, 
    and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he 
    cannot be my disciple.
14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my 
    disciple.
14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, 
    and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
14:29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to 
    finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down 
    first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him 
    that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an 
    ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, 
    he cannot be my disciple.
14:34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall 
    it be seasoned?
14:35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men 
    cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
15:1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth 
    sinners, and eateth with them.
15:3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth 
    not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which 
    is lost, until he find it?
15:5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and 
    neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep 
    which was lost.
15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner 
    that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need 
    no repentance.
15:8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, 
    doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till 
    she find it?
15:9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her 
    neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece 
    which I had lost.
15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels 
    of God over one sinner that repenteth.
15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the 
    portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his 
    living.
15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and 
    took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with 
    riotous living.
15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; 
    and he began to be in want.
15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he 
    sent him into his fields to feed swine.
15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine 
    did eat: and no man gave unto him.
15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my 
    father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I 
    have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
15:19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy 
    hired servants.
15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way 
    off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his 
    neck, and kissed him.
15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and 
    in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and 
    put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and 
    be merry:
15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. 
    And they began to be merry.
15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to 
    the house, he heard music and dancing.
15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
15:27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed 
    the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, 
    and entreated him.
15:29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve 
    thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou 
    never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living 
    with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have 
    is thine.
15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy 
    brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, 
    which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had 
    wasted his goods.
16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? 
    give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
16:3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord 
    taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, 
    they may receive me into their houses.
16:5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto 
    the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
16:6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy 
    bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
16:7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An 
    hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and 
    write fourscore.
16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: 
    for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the 
    children of light.
16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of 
    unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into 
    everlasting habitations.
16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: 
    and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who 
    will commit to your trust the true riches?
16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who 
    shall give you that which is your own?
16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and 
    love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. 
    Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and 
    they derided him.
16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 
    but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men 
    is abomination in the sight of God.
16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the 
    kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the 
    law to fail.
16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth 
    adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband 
    committeth adultery.
16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine 
    linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his 
    gate, full of sores,
16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's 
    table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the 
    angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham 
    afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send 
    Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my 
    tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst 
    thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is 
    comforted, and thou art tormented.
16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: 
    so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they 
    pass to us, that would come from thence.
16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send 
    him to my father's house:
16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they 
    also come into this place of torment.
16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them 
    hear them.
16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the 
    dead, they will repent.
16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither 
    will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences 
    will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and 
    he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke 
    him; and if he repent, forgive him.
17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times 
    in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might 
    say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou 
    planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
17:7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say 
    unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to 
    meat?
17:8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and 
    gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward 
    thou shalt eat and drink?
17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were 
    commanded him? I trow not.
17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are 
    commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that 
    which was our duty to do.
17:11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through 
    the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that 
    were lepers, which stood afar off:
17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy 
    on us.
17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the 
    priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a 
    loud voice glorified God,
17:16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a 
    Samaritan.
17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are 
    the nine?
17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this 
    stranger.
17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God 
    should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not 
    with observation:
17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the 
    kingdom of God is within you.
17:22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall 
    desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it
    .
17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, 
    nor follow them.
17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under 
    heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the 
    Son of man be in his day.
17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this 
    generation.
17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of 
    the Son of man.
17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in 
    marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, 
    and destroyed them all.
17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, 
    they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and 
    brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
17:31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the 
    house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, 
    let him likewise not return back.
17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever 
    shall lose his life shall preserve it.
17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one 
    shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and 
    the other left.
17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other 
    left.
17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, 
    Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always 
    to pray, and not to faint;
18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither 
    regarded man:
18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, 
    Avenge me of mine adversary.
18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, 
    Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her 
    continual coming she weary me.
18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, 
    though he bear long with them?
18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son 
    of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that 
    they were righteous, and despised others:
18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the 
    other a publican.
18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, 
    that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or 
    even as this publican.
18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his 
    eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to 
    me a sinner.
18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than 
    the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he 
    that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
18:15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but 
    when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
18:16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to 
    come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God 
    as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to 
    inherit eternal life?
18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, 
    save one, that is, God.
18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do 
    not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou 
    one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and 
    thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
18:24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly 
    shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a 
    rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
18:26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible 
    with God.
18:28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
18:29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that 
    hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the 
    kingdom of God's sake,
18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the 
    world to come life everlasting.
18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go 
    up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets 
    concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
18:32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and 
    spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
18:33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day 
    he shall rise again.
18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from 
    them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
18:35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain 
    blind man sat by the way side begging:
18:36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
18:37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
18:39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: 
    but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
18:40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he 
    was come near, he asked him,
18:41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, 
    that I may receive my sight.
18:42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
18:43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: 
    and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
19:1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
19:2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief 
    among the publicans, and he was rich.
19:3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, 
    because he was little of stature.
19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for 
    he was to pass that way.
19:5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said 
    unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide 
    at thy house.
19:6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
19:7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to 
    be guest with a man that is a sinner.
19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of 
    my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man 
    by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, 
    forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because 
    he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of 
    God should immediately appear.
19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to 
    receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and 
    said unto them, Occupy till I come.
19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We 
    will not have this man to reign over us.
19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the 
    kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom 
    he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained 
    by trading.
19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been 
    faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I 
    have kept laid up in a napkin:
19:21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up 
    that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou 
    wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I 
    laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my 
    coming I might have required mine own with usury?
19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give 
    it to him that hath ten pounds.
19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and 
    from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, 
    bring hither, and slay them before me.
19:28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
19:29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, 
    at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
19:30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at 
    your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: 
    loose him, and bring him hither.
19:31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto 
    him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
19:32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said 
    unto them.
19:33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, 
    Why loose ye the colt?
19:34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
19:35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the 
    colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
19:36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of 
    Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise 
    God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: 
    peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, 
    Master, rebuke thy disciples.
19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should 
    hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the 
    things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine 
    eyes.
19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a 
    trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; 
    and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou 
    knewest not the time of thy visitation.
19:45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold 
    therein, and them that bought;
19:46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but 
    ye have made it a den of thieves.
19:47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the 
    scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
19:48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very 
    attentive to hear him.
20:1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the 
    people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the 
    scribes came upon him with the elders,
20:2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these 
    things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and 
    answer me:
20:4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
20:5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; 
    he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be 
    persuaded that John was a prophet.
20:7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
20:8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do 
    these things.
20:9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man 
    planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far 
    country for a long time.
20:10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they 
    should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, 
    and sent him away empty.
20:11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and 
    entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him 
    out.
20:13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my 
    beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
20:14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 
    This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore 
    shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
20:16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the 
    vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The 
    stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the 
    corner?
20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on 
    whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
20:19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay 
    hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had 
    spoken this parable against them.
20:20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign 
    themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so 
    they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
20:21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and 
    teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but 
    teachest the way of God truly:
20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
20:24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered 
    and said, Caesar's.
20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which 
    be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they 
    marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
20:27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is 
    any resurrection; and they asked him,
20:28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a 
    wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, 
    and raise up seed unto his brother.
20:29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and 
    died without children.
20:30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
20:31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they 
    left no children, and died.
20:32 Last of all the woman died also.
20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had 
    her to wife.
20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, 
    and are given in marriage:
20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the 
    resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and 
    are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he 
    calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God 
    of Jacob.
20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto 
    him.
20:39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
20:40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
20:41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my 
    Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
20:43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
20:44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
20:45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love 
    greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and 
    the chief rooms at feasts;
20:47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the 
    same shall receive greater damnation.
21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the 
    treasury.
21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast 
    in more than they all:
21:4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: 
    but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones 
    and gifts, he said,
21:6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which 
    there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown 
    down.
21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and 
    what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in 
    my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not 
    therefore after them.
21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for 
    these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom 
    against kingdom:
21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and 
    pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from 
    heaven.
21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute 
    you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being 
    brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye 
    shall answer:
21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries 
    shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, 
    and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that 
    the desolation thereof is nigh.
21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them 
    which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in 
    the countries enter thereinto.
21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written 
    may be fulfilled.
21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in 
    those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath 
    upon this people.
21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away 
    captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the 
    Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; 
    and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the 
    waves roaring;
21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things 
    which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power 
    and great glory.
21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up 
    your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that 
    summer is now nigh at hand.
21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that 
    the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all 
    be fulfilled.
21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be 
    overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, 
    and so that day come upon you unawares.
21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the 
    whole earth.
21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy 
    to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before 
    the Son of man.
21:37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he 
    went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for 
    to hear him.
22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the 
    Passover.
22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for 
    they feared the people.
22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of 
    the twelve.
22:4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, 
    how he might betray him unto them.
22:5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
22:6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the 
    absence of the multitude.
22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, 
    that we may eat.
22:9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, 
    there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into 
    the house where he entereth in.
22:11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto 
    thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my 
    disciples?
22:12 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready 
    the passover.
22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with 
    him.
22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover 
    with you before I suffer:
22:16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be 
    fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it
     among yourselves:
22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until 
    the kingdom of God shall come.
22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, 
    saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance 
    of me.
22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new 
    testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
22:21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the 
    table.
22:22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto 
    that man by whom he is betrayed!
22:23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that 
    should do this thing.
22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be 
    accounted the greatest.
22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship 
    over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called 
    benefactors.
22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him 
    be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? 
    is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on 
    thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have 
    you, that he may sift you as wheat:
22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art 
    converted, strengthen thy brethren.
22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into 
    prison, and to death.
22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, 
    before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and 
    shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it
    , and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his 
    garment, and buy one.
22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished 
    in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things 
    concerning me have an end.
22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto 
    them, It is enough.
22:39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and 
    his disciples also followed him.
22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter 
    not into temptation.
22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, 
    and prayed,
22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: 
    nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
22:43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as 
    it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
22:45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he 
    found them sleeping for sorrow,
22:46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into 
    temptation.
22:47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called 
    Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to 
    kiss him.
22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a 
    kiss?
22:49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto 
    him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his 
    right ear.
22:51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, 
    and healed him.
22:52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, 
    and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a 
    thief, with swords and staves?
22:53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands 
    against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
22:54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest'
    s house. And Peter followed afar off.
22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were 
    set down together, Peter sat down among them.
22:56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly 
    looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
22:57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
22:58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of 
    them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
22:59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, 
    saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
22:60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, 
    while he yet spake, the cock crew.
22:61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the 
    word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou 
    shalt deny me thrice.
22:62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
22:63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
22:64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and 
    asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
22:65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
22:66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief 
    priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, 
    saying,
22:67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye 
    will not believe:
22:68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
22:69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of 
    God.
22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, 
    Ye say that I am.
22:71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have 
    heard of his own mouth.
23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting 
    the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he 
    himself is Christ a King.
23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he 
    answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no 
    fault in this man.
23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, 
    teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he 
    sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to 
    see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and 
    he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and 
    arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for 
    before they were at enmity between themselves.
23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the 
    rulers and the people,
23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that 
    perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, 
    have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse 
    him:
23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of 
    death is done unto him.
23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and 
    release unto us Barabbas:
23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast 
    into prison.)
23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I 
    have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and 
    let him go.
23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be 
    crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast 
    into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
23:26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, 
    coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might 
    bear it after Jesus.
23:27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which 
    also bewailed and lamented him.
23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me
    , but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed 
    are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never 
    gave suck.
23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the 
    hills, Cover us.
23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the 
    dry?
23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to 
    death.
23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there 
    they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the 
    other on the left.
23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. 
    And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided 
    him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, 
    the chosen of God.
23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him 
    vinegar,
23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, 
    and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If 
    thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, 
    seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but 
    this man hath done nothing amiss.
23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy 
    kingdom.
23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be 
    with me in paradise.
23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the 
    earth until the ninth hour.
23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the 
    midst.
23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy 
    hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, 
    Certainly this was a righteous man.
23:48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the 
    things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
23:49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, 
    stood afar off, beholding these things.
23:50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was 
    a good man, and a just:
23:51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was 
    of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the 
    kingdom of God.
23:52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a 
    sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, 
    and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the 
    sabbath day according to the commandment.
24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they 
    came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, 
    and certain others with them.
24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, 
    two men stood by them in shining garments:
24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, 
    they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he 
    was yet in Galilee,
24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, 
    and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
24:8 And they remembered his words,
24:9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the 
    eleven, and to all the rest.
24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and 
    other women that were with them, which told these things unto the 
    apostles.
24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them 
    not.
24:12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he 
    beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in 
    himself at that which was come to pass.
24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, 
    which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, 
    Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that 
    ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, 
    Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things 
    which are come to pass there in these days?
24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning 
    Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before 
    God and all the people:
24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned 
    to death, and have crucified him.
24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: 
    and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which 
    were early at the sepulchre;
24:23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had 
    also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and 
    found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that 
    the prophets have spoken:
24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his 
    glory?
24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in 
    all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as 
    though he would have gone further.
24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward 
    evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and 
    blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of 
    their sight.
24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while 
    he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found 
    the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known 
    of them in breaking of bread.
24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and 
    saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had 
    seen a spirit.
24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise 
    in your hearts?
24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; 
    for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.
24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto 
    them, Have ye here any meat?
24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, 
    while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were 
    written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, 
    concerning me.
24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the 
    scriptures,
24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to 
    suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his 
    name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon
