- Matthew 19:1-2
- 1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he
- departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond
- Jordan;
- 2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. (KJV)
-
- Mark 10:1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of
- Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him
- again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again. (KJV)
-
- Luke 9:51-62
- 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,
- 52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into
- a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
- 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he
- would go to Jerusalem.
- 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?
- 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner
- of spirit ye are of.
- 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save
- them. And they went to another village.
- 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.
- 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.
- 59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me
- first to go and bury my father.
- 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and
- preach the kingdom of God.
- 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.
- 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough,
- and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. (KJV)
-
- John 7:10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto
- the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. (KJV)

- John 7:11-52
- 11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
- 12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for
- some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the
- people.
- 13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
- 14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and
- taught.
- 15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having
- never learned?
- 16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that
- sent me.
- 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether
- it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
- 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that
- seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no
- unrighteousness is in him.
- 19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
- Why go ye about to kill me?
- 20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to
- kill thee?
- 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all
- marvel.
- 22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of
- Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
- 23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of
- Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a
- man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
- 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
- 25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek
- to kill?
- 26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the
- rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
- 27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no
- man knoweth whence he is.
- 28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know
- me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that
- sent me is true, whom ye know not.
- 29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
- 30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because
- his hour was not yet come.
- 31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ
- cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
- 32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning
- him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
- 33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and
- then I go unto him that sent me.
- 34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye
- cannot come.
- 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we
- shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles,
- and teach the Gentiles?
- 36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and
- shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
- 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
- saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
- 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his
- belly shall flow rivers of living water.
- 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him
- should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that
- Jesus was not yet glorified.)
- 40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of
- a truth this is the Prophet.
- 41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come
- out of Galilee?
- 42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of
- David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
- 43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
- 44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
- 45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they
- said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
- 46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
- 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
- 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
- 49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
- 50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being
- one of them,)
- 51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he
- doeth?
- 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search,
- and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. (KJV)

- 53 And every man went unto his own house. (KJV)
- John 8:1-11
- 1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
- 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the
- people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
- 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in
- adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
- 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the
- very act.
- 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but
- what sayest thou?
- 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.
- But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as
- though he heard them not.
- 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said
- unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone
- at her.
- 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
- 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience,
- went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and
- Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
- 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he
- said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man
- condemned thee?
- 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
- condemn thee: go, and sin no more. (KJV)

- John 8:12-59
- 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the
- world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have
- the light of life.
- 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of
- thyself; thy record is not true.
- 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself,
- yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but
- ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
- 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
- 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I
- and the Father that sent me.
- 17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is
- true.
- 18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me
- beareth witness of me.
- 19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye
- neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have
- known my Father also.
- 20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple:
- and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
- 21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me,
- and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
- 22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither
- I go, ye cannot come.
- 23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are
- of this world; I am not of this world.
- 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye
- believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
- 25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them,
- Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
- 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me
- is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of
- him.
- 27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
- 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
- then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but
- as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
- 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone;
- for I do always those things that please him.
- 30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
- 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue
- in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
- 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
- 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage
- to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
- 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
- committeth sin is the servant of sin.
- 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son
- abideth ever.
- 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
- 37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because
- my word hath no place in you.
- 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which
- ye have seen with your father.
- 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith
- unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of
- Abraham.
- 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth,
- which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
- 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not
- born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
- 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for
- I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he
- sent me.
- 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my
- word.
- 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
- will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
- truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
- speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
- 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
- 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye
- not believe me?
- 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not,
- because ye are not of God.
- 48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou
- art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
- 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye
- do dishonour me.
- 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
- judgeth.
- 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall
- never see death.
- 52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil.
- Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my
- saying, he shall never taste of death.
- 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the
- prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
- 54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my
- Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
- 55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I
- know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep
- his saying.
- 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was
- glad.
- 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and
- hast thou seen Abraham?
- 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
- was, I am.
- 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and
- went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed
- by. (KJV)

- John 9:1-41
- 1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
- 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man,
- or his parents, that he was born blind?
- 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but
- that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
- 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the
- night cometh, when no man can work.
- 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
- 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the
- spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
- 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by
- interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came
- seeing.
- 8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he
- was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
- 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I
- am he.
- 10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
- 11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and
- anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and
- wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
- 12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
- 13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
- 14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his
- eyes.
- 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his
- sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and
- do see.
- 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God,
- because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that
- is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
- 17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he
- hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
- 18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind,
- and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had
- received his sight.
- 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born
- blind? how then doth he now see?
- 20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son,
- and that he was born blind:
- 21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his
- eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
- 22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the
- Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was
- Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
- 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
- 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him,
- Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
- 25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one
- thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
- 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he
- thine eyes?
- 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear:
- wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
- 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are
- Moses' disciples.
- 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not
- from whence he is.
- 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous
- thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine
- eyes.
- 31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
- worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
- 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes
- of one that was born blind.
- 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
- 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins,
- and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
- 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him,
- he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
- 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
- 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that
- talketh with thee.
- 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
- 39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they
- which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
- 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and
- said unto him, Are we blind also?
- 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but
- now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. (KJV)

- 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door
- into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief
- and a robber.
- 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
- 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he
- calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
- 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and

- 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for

- 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what
- things they were which he spake unto them.
- 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I
- am the door of the sheep.
- 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep
- did not hear them.
- 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and
- shall go in and out, and find pasture.
- 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
- I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
- abundantly.
- 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the
- sheep.
- 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the
- sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and
- fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
- 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for
- the sheep.
- 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
- 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down
- my life for the sheep.
- 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must
- bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and
- one shepherd.
- 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I
- might take it again.
- 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power
- to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment
- have I received of my Father.
- 19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these
- sayings.
- 20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
- 21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a
- devil open the eyes of the blind? (KJV)

- off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom

- 12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for
- Sodom, than for that city.
- 13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty

- 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject

- 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

- 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

- are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

- Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
- 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
- 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.
- 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou
- shalt live.
- 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
- neighbour?
- 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.
- 31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he

- 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and

- 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.
- 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.
- 3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
- 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.
- 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;
- 6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have
- nothing to set before him?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
- and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
- 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?
- 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
- 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

- 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.
- 15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the
- chief of the devils.
- 16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
- 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.
- 18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom
- stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
- 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast
- them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
- 20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the
- kingdom of God is come upon you.
- 21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

- 23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with

- 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.
- 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
- 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.
- 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.
- 28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God,
- and keep it.
- 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.
- 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of
- man be to this generation.
- 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.
- 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.
- 33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place,

- 35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
- 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark,

- 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first
- washed before dinner.
- 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.
- 40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which
- is within also?
- 41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all
- things are clean unto you.
- 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.
- 43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the
- synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
- 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

- 45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus

- 46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with

- with one of your fingers.
- 47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your
- fathers killed them.
- 48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for
- they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
- 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and

- 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.
- 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.
- 53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees

- 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.
- 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither
- hid, that shall not be known.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is

- 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not
- therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
- 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:
- 9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels
- of God.
- 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.
- 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 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to
- say.
- 13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother,
- that he divide the inheritance with me.
- 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over
- you?
- 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.
- 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain
- rich man brought forth plentifully:
- 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I
- have no room where to bestow my fruits?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward
- God.
- 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.
- 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
- 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?
- 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one
- cubit?
- 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye
- thought for the rest?
- 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.
- 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?
- 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither
- be ye of doubtful mind.
- 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and
- your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
- 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be
- added unto you.
- 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to
- give you the kingdom.
- 33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax
- not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief
- approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
- 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
- 35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
- 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.
- 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.
- 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third
- watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
- 39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour
- the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his
- house to be broken through.
- 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour
- when ye think not.
- 41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us,
- or even to all?
- 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?
- 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
- doing.
- 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that
- he hath.
- 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;
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be

- 52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three
- against two, and two against three.
- 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

- 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not;

- 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are

- 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the

- 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her,
- Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

- and glorified God.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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
