 17:1  And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John
his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
 17:2  And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine
as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
 17:3  And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias
talking with him.
 17:4  Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is
good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three
tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for
Elias.
 17:5  While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed
them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
 17:6  And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their
face, and were sore afraid.
 17:7  And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be
not afraid.
 17:8  And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,
save Jesus only.
 17:9  And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged
them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man
be risen again from the dead.
 17:10  And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the
scribes that Elias must first come?
 17:11  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly
shall first come, and restore all things.
 17:12  But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and
they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they
listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
 17:13  Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them
of John the Baptist.
 17:14  And when they were come to the multitude, there came to
him a [certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
 17:15  Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is a lunatic, and
sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into
the water.
 17:16  And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not
cure him.
 17:17  Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I
suffer you? bring him hither to me.
 17:18  And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of
him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
 17:19  Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why
could not we cast him out?
 17:20  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for
verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible
unto you.
 17:21  Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and
fasting.
 17:22  And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them,
The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
 17:23  And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be
raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
 17:24  And when they were come to Capernaum, they that
received tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your
master pay tribute?
 17:25  He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house,
Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom
do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own
children, or of strangers?
 17:26  Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto
him, Then are the children free.
 17:27  Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to
the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first
cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find
a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and
thee.
 18:1  At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
 18:2  And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in
the midst of them,
 18:3  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted,
and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
 18:4  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little
child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
 18:5  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
receiveth me.
 18:6  But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which
believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth
of the sea.
 18:7  Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must
needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the
offence cometh!
 18:8  Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them
off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter
into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two
feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
 18:9  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast
[it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with
one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
 18:10  Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
 18:11  For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
 18:12  How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one
of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine,
and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone
astray?
 18:13  And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he
rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine
which went not astray.
 18:14  Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in
heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
 18:15  Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go
and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall
hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
 18:16  But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one
or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every
word may be established.
 18:17  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto
the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be
unto thee as a heathen man and a publican.
 18:18  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on
earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
 18:19  Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on
earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be
done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
 18:20  For where two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I in the midst of them.
 18:21  Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall
my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
 18:22  Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven
times: but, Until seventy times seven.
 18:23  Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a
certain king, which would take account of his servants.
 18:24  And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto
him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
 18:25  But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded
him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he
had, and payment to be made.
 18:26  The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him,
saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
 18:27  Then the lord of that servant was moved with
compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
 18:28  But the same servant went out, and found one of his
fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid
hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me that
thou owest.
 18:29  And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and
besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay
thee all.
 18:30  And he would not: but went and cast him into prison,
till he should pay the debt.
 18:31  So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were
very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was
done.
 18:32  Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto
him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt,
because thou desiredst me:
 18:33  Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
 18:34  And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the
tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
 18:35  So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you,
if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their
trespasses.
 19:1  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;
 19:2  And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them
there.
 19:3  The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and
saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife
for every cause?
 19:4  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read,
that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and
female,
 19:5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be
one flesh?
 19:6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
 19:7  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
 19:8  He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of
your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so.
 19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away
doth commit adultery.
 19:10  His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be
so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.
 19:11  But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this
saying, save [they] to whom it is given.
 19:12  For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
[their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were
made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is
able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
 19:13  Then were there brought unto him little children, that
he should put [his] hands on them, and pray: and the disciples
rebuked them.
 19:14  But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them
not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
 19:15  And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed thence.
 19:16  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master,
what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
 19:17  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there
is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter
into life, keep the commandments.
 19:18  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no
murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
 19:19  Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself.
 19:20  The young man saith unto him, All these things have I
kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
 19:21  Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and]
sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.
 19:22  But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
 19:23  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto
you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of
heaven.
 19:24  And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to
go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of God.
 19:25  When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly
amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
 19:26  But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men
this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
 19:27  Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
 19:28  And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That
ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of
man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit
upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
 19:29  And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren,
or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or
lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and
shall inherit everlasting life.
 19:30  But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last
[shall be] first.
 20:1  For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is]
an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire
labourers into his vineyard.
 20:2  And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a
day, he sent them into his vineyard.
 20:3  And he went out about the third hour, and saw others
standing idle in the marketplace,
 20:4  And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
 20:5  Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and
did likewise.
 20:6  And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found
others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here
all the day idle?
 20:7  They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He
saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever
is right, [that] shall ye receive.
 20:8  So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith
unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them [their]
hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
 20:9  And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh
hour, they received every man a penny.
 20:10  But when the first came, they supposed that they should
have received more; and they likewise received every man a
penny.
 20:11  And when they had received [it], they murmured against
the goodman of the house,
 20:12  Saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour, and
thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden
and heat of the day.
 20:13  But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do
thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
 20:14  Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give
unto this last, even as unto thee.
 20:15  Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine
own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
 20:16  So the last shall be first, and the first last: for
many be called, but few chosen.
 20:17  And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve
disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
 20:18  Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall
be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and
they shall condemn him to death,
 20:19  And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to
scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise
again.
 20:20  Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with
her sons, worshipping [him], and desiring a certain thing of
him.
 20:21  And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto
him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right
hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
 20:22  But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask.
Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say
unto him, We are able.
 20:23  And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my
cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with:
but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to
give, but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared
of my Father.
 20:24  And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with
indignation against the two brethren.
 20:25  But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Ye know
that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them,
and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
 20:26  But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be
great among you, let him be your minister;
 20:27  And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant:
 20:28  Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
 20:29  And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude
followed him.
 20:30  And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side,
when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have
mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] son of David.
 20:31  And the multitude rebuked them, because they should
hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy
on us, O Lord, [thou] son of David.
 20:32  And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What
will ye that I shall do unto you?
 20:33  They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
 20:34  So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their
eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they
followed him.
 21:1  And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
disciples,
 21:2  Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you,
and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her:
loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
 21:3  And if any [man] say ought unto you, ye shall say, The
Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
 21:4  All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the prophet, saying,
 21:5  Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh
unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal
of an ass.
 21:6  And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
 21:7  And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set [him] thereon.
 21:8  And a very great multitude spread their garments in the
way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strowed
[them] in the way.
 21:9  And the multitudes that went before, and that followed,
cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he
that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
 21:10  And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was
moved, saying, Who is this?
 21:11  And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of
Nazareth of Galilee.
 21:12  And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all
them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the
tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves,
 21:13  And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be
called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of
thieves.
 21:14  And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple;
and he healed them.
 21:15  And when the chief priests and scribes saw the
wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the
temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore
displeased,
 21:16  And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And
Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the
mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
 21:17  And he left them, and went out of the city into
Bethany; and he lodged there.
 21:18  Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he
hungered.
 21:19  And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it,
and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it,
Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently
the fig tree withered away.
 21:20  And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled,
saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
 21:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto
you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this
[which is done] to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto
this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
it shall be done.
 21:22  And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive.
 21:23  And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests
and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching,
and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who
gave thee this authority?
 21:24  And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask
you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell
you by what authority I do these things.
 21:25  The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of
men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then
believe him?
 21:26  But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for
all hold John as a prophet.
 21:27  And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And
he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do
these things.
 21:28  But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he
came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my
vineyard.
 21:29  He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he
repented, and went.
 21:30  And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he
answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
 21:31  Whether of them twain did the will of [his] father?
They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I
say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the
kingdom of God before you.
 21:32  For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and
ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed
him: and ye, when ye had seen [it], repented not afterward,
that ye might believe him.
 21:33  Hear another parable: There was a certain householder,
which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged
a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country:
 21:34  And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his
servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits
of it.
 21:35  And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and
killed another, and stoned another.
 21:36  Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and
they did unto them likewise.
 21:37  But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They
will reverence my son.
 21:38  But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us
seize on his inheritance.
 21:39  And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the
vineyard, and slew [him].
 21:40  When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what
will he do unto those husbandmen?
 21:41  They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those
wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other
husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
 21:42  Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the
scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is
become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it
is marvellous in our eyes?
 21:43  Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be
taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof.
 21:44  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken:
but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
 21:45  And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
 21:46  But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared
the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
 22:1  And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by
parables, and said,
 22:2  The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which
made a marriage for his son,
 22:3  And sent forth his servants to call them that were
bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
 22:4  Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them
which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen
and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready:
come unto the marriage.
 22:5  But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to
his farm, another to his merchandise:
 22:6  And the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them]
spitefully, and slew [them].
 22:7  But when the king heard [thereof], he was wroth: and he
sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and
burned up their city.
 22:8  Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but
they which were bidden were not worthy.
 22:9  Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye
shall find, bid to the marriage.
 22:10  So those servants went out into the highways, and
gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good:
and the wedding was furnished with guests.
 22:11  And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw
there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
 22:12  And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in
hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
 22:13  Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and
foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness;
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
 22:14  For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
 22:15  Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they
might entangle him in [his] talk.
 22:16  And they sent out unto him their disciples with the
Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and
teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any
[man]: for thou regardest not the person of men.
 22:17  Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to
give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
 22:18  But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why
tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
 22:19  Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a
penny.
 22:20  And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and
superscription?
 22:21  They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them,
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and
unto God the things that are God's.
 22:22  When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and
left him, and went their way.
 22:23  The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that
there is no resurrection, and asked him,
 22:24  Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no
children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed
unto his brother.
 22:25  Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first,
when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue,
left his wife unto his brother:
 22:26  Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the
seventh.
 22:27  And last of all the woman died also.
 22:28  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be
of the seven? for they all had her.
 22:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not
knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
 22:30  For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
 22:31  But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye
not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
 22:32  I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the
living.
 22:33  And when the multitude heard [this], they were
astonished at his doctrine.
 22:34  But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the
Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
 22:35  Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a
question], tempting him, and saying,
 22:36  Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
 22:37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind.
 22:38  This is the first and great commandment.
 22:39  And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
 22:40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets.
 22:41  While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked
them,
 22:42  Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They
say unto him, [The son] of David.
 22:43  He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call
him Lord, saying,
 22:44  The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
 22:45  If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
 22:46  And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst
any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions].
 23:1  Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
 23:2  Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses'
seat:
 23:3  All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that]
observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say,
and do not.
 23:4  For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne,
and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will
not move them with one of their fingers.
 23:5  But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they
make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their
garments,
 23:6  And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief
seats in the synagogues,
 23:7  And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men,
Rabbi, Rabbi.
 23:8  But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
[even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
 23:9  And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is
your Father, which is in heaven.
 23:10  Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,
[even] Christ.
 23:11  But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant.
 23:12  And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and
he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
 23:13  But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye
neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are
entering to go in.
 23:14  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
 23:15  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is
made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
yourselves.
 23:16  Woe unto you, [ye] blind guides, which say, Whosoever
shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall
swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
 23:17  [Ye] fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold,
or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
 23:18  And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing;
but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is
guilty.
 23:19  [Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the
gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
 23:20  Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by
it, and by all things thereon.
 23:21  And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it,
and by him that dwelleth therein.
 23:22  And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the
throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
 23:23  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the
weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
 23:24  [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow
a camel.
 23:25  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but
within they are full of extortion and excess.
 23:26  [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is]
within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be
clean also.
 23:27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all
uncleanness.
 23:28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,
but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
 23:29  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the
sepulchres of the righteous,
 23:30  And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we
would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
prophets.
 23:31  Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are
the children of them which killed the prophets.
 23:32  Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
 23:33  [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye
escape the damnation of hell?
 23:34  Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise
men, and scribes: and [some] of them ye shall kill and crucify;
and [some] of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and
persecute [them] from city to city:
 23:35  That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed
upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood
of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
and the altar.
 23:36  Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon
this generation.
 23:37  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the
prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often
would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!
 23:38  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
 23:39  For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of
the Lord.
