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

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