 MAT 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son
of Abraham.
 MAT 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and
his brethren;
 MAT 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and
Esrom begat Aram;
 MAT 1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat
Salmon;
 MAT 1:5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed
begat Jesse;
 MAT 1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her
that had been the wife of Urias;
 MAT 1:7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
 MAT 1:8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat
Ozias;
 MAT 1:9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat
Ezekias;
 MAT 1:10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat
Josias;
 MAT 1:11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were
carried away to Babylon:
 MAT 1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and
Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
 MAT 1:13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat
Azor;
 MAT 1:14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
 MAT 1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat
Jacob;
 MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus,
who is called Christ.
 MAT 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations;
and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations;
and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
 MAT 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother
Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost.
 MAT 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her
a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
 MAT 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to
take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy
Ghost.
 MAT 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.
 MAT 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of
the Lord by the prophet, saying,
 MAT 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
 MAT 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had
bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
 MAT 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he
called his name JESUS.


                                CHAPTER 2

 MAT 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the
king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
 MAT 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his
star in the east, and are come to worship him.
 MAT 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him.
 MAT 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the
people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
 MAT 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written
by the prophet,
 MAT 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the
princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my
people Israel.
 MAT 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them
diligently what time the star appeared.
 MAT 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for
the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may
come and worship him also.
 MAT 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which
they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the
young child was.
 MAT 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
 MAT 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with
Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened
their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and
myrrh.
 MAT 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to
Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
 MAT 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth
to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother,
and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will
seek the young child to destroy him.
 MAT 2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and
departed into Egypt:
 MAT 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called
my son.
 MAT 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
 MAT 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying,
 MAT 2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great
mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because
they are not.
 MAT 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt,
 MAT 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into
the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
 MAT 2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into
the land of Israel.
 MAT 2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of
his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of
God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
 MAT 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.


                               CHAPTER 3

 MAT 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of
Judaea,
 MAT 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
 MAT 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The
voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his
paths straight.
 MAT 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern
girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
 MAT 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region
round about Jordan,
 MAT 3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
 MAT 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his
baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?
 MAT 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
 MAT 3:9 And think 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.
 MAT 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore
every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the
fire.
 MAT 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh
after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
 MAT 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and
gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire.
 MAT 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of
him.
 MAT 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and
comest thou to me?
 MAT 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it
becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
 MAT 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water:
and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
 MAT 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased.


                                CHAPTER 4

 MAT 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted
of the devil.
 MAT 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an
hungred.
 MAT 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God,
command that these stones be made bread.
 MAT 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
 MAT 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a
pinnacle of the temple,
 MAT 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for
it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their
hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone.
 MAT 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God.
 MAT 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and
sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
 MAT 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt
fall down and worship me.
 MAT 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
 MAT 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered
unto him.
 MAT 4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed
into Galilee;
 MAT 4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon
the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
 MAT 4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying,
 MAT 4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the
sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
 MAT 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which
sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
 MAT 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
 MAT 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon
called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were
fishers.
 MAT 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
 MAT 4:20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
 MAT 4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending
their nets; and he called them.
 MAT 4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
 MAT 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease among the people.
 MAT 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all
sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which
were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had
the palsy; and he healed them.
 MAT 4:25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and
from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.


                                CHAPTER 5

 MAT 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was
set, his disciples came unto him:
 MAT 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
 MAT 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 MAT 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
 MAT 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
 MAT 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for
they shall be filled.
 MAT 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
 MAT 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
 MAT 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of
God.
 MAT 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 MAT 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
 MAT 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
 MAT 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast
out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
 MAT 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid.
 MAT 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
 MAT 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
 MAT 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfil.
 MAT 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
 MAT 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom
of heaven.
 MAT 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
 MAT 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not
kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
 MAT 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a
cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his
brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou
fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
 MAT 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath ought against thee;
 MAT 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be
reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
 MAT 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with
him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
 MAT 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till
thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
 MAT 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not
commit adultery:
 MAT 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after
her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
 MAT 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
 MAT 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
 MAT 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her
a writing of divorcement:
 MAT 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for
the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall
marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
 MAT 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou
shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
 MAT 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is
God's throne:
 MAT 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for
it is the city of the great King.
 MAT 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one
hair white or black.
 MAT 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is
more than these cometh of evil.
 MAT 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth:
 MAT 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
 MAT 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let
him have thy cloak also.
 MAT 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
 MAT 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee
turn not thou away.
 MAT 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour,
and hate thine enemy.
 MAT 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;
 MAT 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he
maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just
and on the unjust.
 MAT 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even
the publicans the same?
 MAT 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do
not even the publicans so?
 MAT 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect.


                                CHAPTER 6

 MAT 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them:
otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
 MAT 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may
have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
 MAT 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right
hand doeth:
 MAT 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret
himself shall reward thee openly.
 MAT 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
 MAT 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast
shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth
in secret shall reward thee openly.
 MAT 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they
think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
 MAT 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things
ye have need of, before ye ask him.
 MAT 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
 MAT 6:10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
 MAT 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
 MAT 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
 MAT 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine
is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
 MAT 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you:
 MAT 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.
 MAT 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to
fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
 MAT 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
 MAT 6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in
secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
 MAT 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
 MAT 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
 MAT 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
 MAT 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.
 MAT 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If
therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
 MAT 6:24 No man 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.
 MAT 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not
the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
 MAT 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they?
 MAT 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
 MAT 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
 MAT 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
 MAT 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is,
and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of
little faith?
 MAT 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall
we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
 MAT 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
 MAT 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.
 MAT 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.


                               CHAPTER 7

 MAT 7:1  Judge not, that ye be not judged.
 MAT 7:2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
 MAT 7:3  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
 MAT 7:4  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of
thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
 MAT 7:5  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
 MAT 7:6  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your
pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again
and rend you.
 MAT 7:7  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened unto you:
 MAT 7:8  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and
to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
 MAT 7:9  Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give
him a stone?
 MAT 7:10  Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
 MAT 7:11  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good  things
to them that ask him?
 MAT 7:12  Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
 MAT 7:13  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is
the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
 MAT 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find it.
 MAT 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
 MAT 7:16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
 MAT 7:17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
 MAT 7:18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit.
 MAT 7:19  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast
into the fire.
 MAT 7:20  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
 MAT 7:21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in  heaven.
 MAT 7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?
 MAT 7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.
 MAT 7:24  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I
will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
 MAT 7:25  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
 MAT 7:26  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them
not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the  sand:
 MAT 7:27  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
 MAT 7:28  And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people
were astonished at his doctrine:
 MAT 7:29  For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
