MATTHEW 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son
of David, the son of Abraham.
MATTHEW 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob
begat Judas and his brethren;
MATTHEW 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares
begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
MATTHEW 1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson;
and Naasson begat Salmon;
MATTHEW 1:5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed
of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
MATTHEW 1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king
begat Solomon of her {that had been the wife} of Urias;
MATTHEW 1:7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and
Abia begat Asa;
MATTHEW 1:8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and
Joram begat Ozias;
MATTHEW 1:9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and
Achaz begat Ezekias;
MATTHEW 1:10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon;
and Amon begat Josias;
MATTHEW 1:11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about
the time they were carried away to Babylon:
MATTHEW 1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias
begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
MATTHEW 1:13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim;
and Eliakim begat Azor;
MATTHEW 1:14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and
Achim begat Eliud;
MATTHEW 1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan;
and Matthan begat Jacob;
MATTHEW 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom
was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
MATTHEW 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David {are}
fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into
Babylon {are} fourteen generations; and from the carrying away
into Babylon unto Christ {are} fourteen generations.
MATTHEW 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When
as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
MATTHEW 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just {man}, and not
willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away
privily.
MATTHEW 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the
angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph,
thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for
that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
MATTHEW 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call
his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
MATTHEW 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
MATTHEW 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall
bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which
being interpreted is, God with us.
MATTHEW 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel
of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
MATTHEW 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her
firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
MATTHEW 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the
days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east
to Jerusalem,
MATTHEW 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?
for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship
him.
MATTHEW 2:3 When Herod the king had heard {these things}, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
MATTHEW 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and
scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ
should be born.
MATTHEW 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for
thus it is written by the prophet,
MATTHEW 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, {in} the land of Juda, art not
the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a
Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
MATTHEW 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,
inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
MATTHEW 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and
search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found
{him}, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
MATTHEW 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo,
the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it
came and stood over where the young child was.
MATTHEW 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy.
MATTHEW 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the
young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped
him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented
unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
MATTHEW 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should
not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another
way.
MATTHEW 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of
the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take
the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou
there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
child to destroy him.
MATTHEW 2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his
mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
MATTHEW 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
MATTHEW 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the
wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the
children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof,
from two years old and under, according to the time which he had
diligently inquired of the wise men.
MATTHEW 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
the prophet, saying,
MATTHEW 2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and
weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping {for} her children,
and would not be comforted, because they are not.
MATTHEW 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the
Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
MATTHEW 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his
mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which
sought the young child's life.
MATTHEW 2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his
mother, and came into the land of Israel.
MATTHEW 2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea
in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither:
notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside
into the parts of Galilee:
MATTHEW 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He
shall be called a Nazarene.
MATTHEW 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
wilderness of Judaea,
MATTHEW 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is
at hand.
MATTHEW 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet
Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
MATTHEW 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair,
and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts
and wild honey.
MATTHEW 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and
all the region round about Jordan,
MATTHEW 3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their
sins.
MATTHEW 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees
come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers,
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
MATTHEW 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
MATTHEW 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have
Abraham to {our} father: for I say unto you, that God is able of
these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
MATTHEW 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the
trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit
is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
MATTHEW 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but
he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
{with} fire:
MATTHEW 3:12 Whose fan {is} in his hand, and he will throughly
purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he
will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
MATTHEW 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John,
to be baptized of him.
MATTHEW 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be
baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
MATTHEW 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer {it to be
so} now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.
Then he suffered him.
MATTHEW 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway
out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and
he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting
upon him:
MATTHEW 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
MATTHEW 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
MATTHEW 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights,
he was afterward an hungred.
MATTHEW 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be
the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
MATTHEW 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of
the mouth of God.
MATTHEW 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and
setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
MATTHEW 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge
concerning thee: and in {their} hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
MATTHEW 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt
not tempt the Lord thy God.
MATTHEW 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them;
MATTHEW 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give
thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
MATTHEW 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:
for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him
only shalt thou serve.
MATTHEW 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came
and ministered unto him.
MATTHEW 4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into
prison, he departed into Galilee;
MATTHEW 4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in
Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon
and Nephthalim:
MATTHEW 4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying,
MATTHEW 4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim,
{by} the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
MATTHEW 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is
sprung up.
MATTHEW 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
MATTHEW 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two
brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a
net into the sea: for they were fishers.
MATTHEW 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make
you fishers of men.
MATTHEW 4:20 And they straightway left {their} nets, and followed
him.
MATTHEW 4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren,
James {the son} of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with
Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
MATTHEW 4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father,
and followed him.
MATTHEW 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing
all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the
people.
MATTHEW 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they
brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers
diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with
devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the
palsy; and he healed them.
MATTHEW 4:25 And there followed him great multitudes of people
from Galilee, and {from} Decapolis, and {from} Jerusalem, and
{from} Judaea, and {from} beyond Jordan.
MATTHEW 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a
mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
MATTHEW 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
MATTHEW 5:3 Blessed {are} the poor in spirit: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 5:4 Blessed {are} they that mourn: for they shall be
comforted.
MATTHEW 5:5 Blessed {are} the meek: for they shall inherit the
earth.
MATTHEW 5:6 Blessed {are} they which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be filled.
MATTHEW 5:7 Blessed {are} the merciful: for they shall obtain
mercy.
MATTHEW 5:8 Blessed {are} the pure in heart: for they shall see
God.
MATTHEW 5:9 Blessed {are} the peacemakers: for they shall be
called the children of God.
MATTHEW 5:10 Blessed {are} they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 5:11 Blessed are ye, when {men} shall revile you, and
persecute {you}, and shall say all manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake.
MATTHEW 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great {is} your
reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were
before you.
MATTHEW 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have
lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth
good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under
foot of men.
MATTHEW 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on
an hill cannot be hid.
MATTHEW 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that
are in the house.
MATTHEW 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may
see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
MATTHEW 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
MATTHEW 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law,
till all be fulfilled.
MATTHEW 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the
least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach
{them}, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed {the righteousness} of the scribes and Pharisees, ye
shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger
of the judgment:
MATTHEW 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his
brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of
the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in
danger of hell fire.
MATTHEW 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and
there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
MATTHEW 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy
way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer
thy gift.
MATTHEW 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art
in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee
to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou
be cast into prison.
MATTHEW 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come
out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
MATTHEW 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not commit adultery:
MATTHEW 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a
woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already
in his heart.
MATTHEW 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
cast {it} from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of
thy members should perish, and not {that} thy whole body should
be cast into hell.
MATTHEW 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and
cast {it} from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of
thy members should perish, and not {that} thy whole body should
be cast into hell.
MATTHEW 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his
wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
MATTHEW 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away
his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced
committeth adultery.
MATTHEW 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them
of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform
unto the Lord thine oaths:
MATTHEW 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by
heaven; for it is God's throne:
MATTHEW 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither
by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
MATTHEW 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
canst not make one hair white or black.
MATTHEW 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
MATTHEW 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an
eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
MATTHEW 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but
whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the
other also.
MATTHEW 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take
away thy coat, let him have {thy} cloak also.
MATTHEW 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go
with him twain.
MATTHEW 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that
would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
MATTHEW 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
MATTHEW 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
MATTHEW 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is
in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the
good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
MATTHEW 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have
ye? do not even the publicans the same?
MATTHEW 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
{than others}? do not even the publicans so?
MATTHEW 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which
is in heaven is perfect.
MATTHEW 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be
seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is
in heaven.
MATTHEW 6:2 Therefore when thou doest {thine} alms, do not sound
a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and
in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say
unto you, They have their reward.
MATTHEW 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know
what thy right hand doeth:
MATTHEW 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father
which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
MATTHEW 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the
hypocrites {are}: for they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be
seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
MATTHEW 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly.
MATTHEW 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the
heathen {do}: for they think that they shall be heard for their
much speaking.
MATTHEW 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father
knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
MATTHEW 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which
art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
MATTHEW 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as {it
is} in heaven.
MATTHEW 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
MATTHEW 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
MATTHEW 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for
ever. Amen.
MATTHEW 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you:
MATTHEW 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither
will your Father forgive your trespasses.
MATTHEW 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of
a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward.
MATTHEW 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and
wash thy face;
MATTHEW 6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy
Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
shall reward thee openly.
MATTHEW 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through
and steal:
MATTHEW 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not
break through nor steal:
MATTHEW 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.
MATTHEW 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine
eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
MATTHEW 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be
full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be
darkness, how great {is} that darkness!
MATTHEW 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
MATTHEW 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your
life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your
body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and
the body than raiment?
MATTHEW 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
MATTHEW 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit
unto his stature?
MATTHEW 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do
they spin:
MATTHEW 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of these.
MATTHEW 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, {shall he}
not much more {clothe} you, O ye of little faith?
MATTHEW 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we
eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?
MATTHEW 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.
MATTHEW 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
MATTHEW 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the
morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient
unto the day {is} the evil thereof.
MATTHEW 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
MATTHEW 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
MATTHEW 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own
eye?
MATTHEW 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out
the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam {is} in thine own
eye?
MATTHEW 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine
own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out
of thy brother's eye.
MATTHEW 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither
cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under
their feet, and turn again and rend you.
MATTHEW 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
MATTHEW 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
MATTHEW 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask
bread, will he give him a stone?
MATTHEW 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
MATTHEW 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts
unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in
heaven give good things to them that ask him?
MATTHEW 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and
the prophets.
MATTHEW 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide {is} the
gate, and broad {is} the way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat:
MATTHEW 7:14 Because strait {is} the gate, and narrow {is} the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
MATTHEW 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
MATTHEW 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
MATTHEW 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
MATTHEW 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither
{can} a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
MATTHEW 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire.
MATTHEW 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
MATTHEW 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of
my Father which is in heaven.
MATTHEW 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
MATTHEW 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
MATTHEW 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock:
MATTHEW 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was
founded upon a rock.
MATTHEW 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which
built his house upon the sand:
MATTHEW 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was
the fall of it.
MATTHEW 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these
sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
MATTHEW 7:29 For he taught them as {one} having authority, and
not as the scribes.
MATTHEW 8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great
multitudes followed him.
MATTHEW 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him,
saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
MATTHEW 8:3 And Jesus put forth {his} hand, and touched him,
saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was
cleansed.
MATTHEW 8:4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but
go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that
Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
MATTHEW 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came
unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
MATTHEW 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of
the palsy, grievously tormented.
MATTHEW 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
MATTHEW 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not
worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word
only, and my servant shall be healed.
MATTHEW 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under
me: and I say to this {man}, Go, and he goeth; and to another,
Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth
{it}.
MATTHEW 8:10 When Jesus heard {it}, he marvelled, and said to
them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so
great faith, no, not in Israel.
MATTHEW 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the
east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and
Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out
into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
MATTHEW 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and
as thou hast believed, {so} be it done unto thee. And his servant
was healed in the selfsame hour.
MATTHEW 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw
his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
MATTHEW 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and
she arose, and ministered unto them.
MATTHEW 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many
that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with
{his} word, and healed all that were sick:
MATTHEW 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and
bare {our} sicknesses.
MATTHEW 8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he
gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
MATTHEW 8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him,
Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
MATTHEW 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and
the birds of the air {have} nests; but the Son of man hath not
where to lay {his} head.
MATTHEW 8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord,
suffer me first to go and bury my father.
MATTHEW 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead
bury their dead.
MATTHEW 8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples
followed him.
MATTHEW 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea,
insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was
asleep.
MATTHEW 8:25 And his disciples came to {him}, and awoke him,
saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
MATTHEW 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of
little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea;
and there was a great calm.
MATTHEW 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is
this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
MATTHEW 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the
country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with
devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man
might pass by that way.
MATTHEW 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to
do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to
torment us before the time?
MATTHEW 8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of
many swine feeding.
MATTHEW 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us
out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
MATTHEW 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come
out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole
herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and
perished in the waters.
MATTHEW 8:33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways
into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the
possessed of the devils.
MATTHEW 8:34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus:
and when they saw him, they besought {him} that he would depart
out of their coasts.
MATTHEW 9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came
into his own city.
MATTHEW 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the
palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the
sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven
thee.
MATTHEW 9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within
themselves, This {man} blasphemeth.
MATTHEW 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore
think ye evil in your hearts?
MATTHEW 9:5 For whether is easier, to say, {Thy} sins be forgiven
thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
MATTHEW 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power
on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the
palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
MATTHEW 9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
MATTHEW 9:8 But when the multitudes saw {it}, they marvelled, and
glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
MATTHEW 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man,
named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith
unto him, Follow me. And he arose, And followed him.
MATTHEW 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the
house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with
him and his disciples.
MATTHEW 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw {it}, they said unto his
disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
MATTHEW 9:12 But when Jesus heard {that}, he said unto them, They
that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
MATTHEW 9:13 But go ye and learn what {that} meaneth, I will have
mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
MATTHEW 9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why
do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
MATTHEW 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the
bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but
the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them,
and then shall they fast.
MATTHEW 9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old
garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the
garment, and the rent is made worse.
MATTHEW 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else
the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles
perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are
preserved.
MATTHEW 9:18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there
came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is
even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall
live.
MATTHEW 9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and {so did} his
disciples.
MATTHEW 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an
issue of blood twelve years, came behind {him}, and touched the
hem of his garment:
MATTHEW 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his
garment, I shall be whole.
MATTHEW 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he
said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee
whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
MATTHEW 9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw
the minstrels and the people making a noise,
MATTHEW 9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
MATTHEW 9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and
took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
MATTHEW 9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
MATTHEW 9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men
followed him, crying, and saying, {Thou} Son of David, have mercy
on us.
MATTHEW 9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men
came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able
to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
MATTHEW 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to
your faith be it unto you.
MATTHEW 9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly
charged them, saying, See {that} no man know {it}.
MATTHEW 9:31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his
fame in all that country.
MATTHEW 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb
man possessed with a devil.
MATTHEW 9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and
the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
MATTHEW 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils
through the prince of the devils.
MATTHEW 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the
people.
MATTHEW 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with
compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered
abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
MATTHEW 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly
{is} plenteous, but the labourers {are} few;
MATTHEW 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
will send forth labourers into his harvest.
MATTHEW 10:1 And when he had called unto {him} his twelve
disciples, he gave them power {against} unclean spirits, to cast
them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
disease.
MATTHEW 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The
first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James
{the son} of Zebedee, and John his brother;
MATTHEW 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the
publican; James {the son} of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose
surname was Thaddaeus;
MATTHEW 10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also
betrayed him.
MATTHEW 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them,
saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into {any} city
of the Samaritans enter ye not:
MATTHEW 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.
MATTHEW 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
MATTHEW 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,
cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
MATTHEW 10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your
purses,
MATTHEW 10:10 Nor scrip for {your} journey, neither two coats,
neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his
meat.
MATTHEW 10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter,
inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
MATTHEW 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
MATTHEW 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come
upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
MATTHEW 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your
words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the
dust of your feet.
MATTHEW 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than
for that city.
MATTHEW 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of
wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
MATTHEW 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to
the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
MATTHEW 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings
for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
MATTHEW 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how
or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same
hour what ye shall speak.
MATTHEW 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your
Father which speaketh in you.
MATTHEW 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to
death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up
against {their} parents, and cause them to be put to death.
MATTHEW 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all {men} for my name's
sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
MATTHEW 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye
into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone
over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
MATTHEW 10:24 The disciple is not above {his} master, nor the
servant above his lord.
MATTHEW 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his
master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the
master of the house Beelzebub, how much more {shall they call}
them of his household?
MATTHEW 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be
known.
MATTHEW 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, {that} speak ye in
light: and what ye hear in the ear, {that} preach ye upon the
housetops.
MATTHEW 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not
able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
MATTHEW 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one
of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
MATTHEW 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
MATTHEW 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than
many sparrows.
MATTHEW 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men,
him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
MATTHEW 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I
also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
MATTHEW 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I
came not to send peace, but a sword.
MATTHEW 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in
law against her mother in law.
MATTHEW 10:36 And a man's foes {shall be} they of his own
household.
MATTHEW 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not
worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is
not worthy of me.
MATTHEW 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth
after me, is not worthy of me.
MATTHEW 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
MATTHEW 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
MATTHEW 10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a
prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a
righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man's reward.
MATTHEW 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these
little ones a cup of cold {water} only in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
MATTHEW 11:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of
commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and
to preach in their cities.
MATTHEW 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of
Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
MATTHEW 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or
do we look for another?
MATTHEW 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John
again those things which ye do hear and see:
MATTHEW 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised
up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
MATTHEW 11:6 And blessed is {he}, whosoever shall not be offended
in me.
MATTHEW 11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the
multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness
to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
MATTHEW 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in
soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft {clothing} are in
kings' houses.
MATTHEW 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I
say unto you, and more than a prophet.
MATTHEW 11:10 For this is {he}, of whom it is written, Behold, I
send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way
before thee.
MATTHEW 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of
women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he.
MATTHEW 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the
kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by
force.
MATTHEW 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until
John.
MATTHEW 11:14 And if ye will receive {it}, this is Elias, which
was for to come.
MATTHEW 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
MATTHEW 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is
like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their
fellows,
MATTHEW 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not
danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
MATTHEW 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they
say, He hath a devil.
MATTHEW 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they
say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of
publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
MATTHEW 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of
his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
MATTHEW 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida!
for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in
Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth
and ashes.
MATTHEW 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
MATTHEW 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven,
shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which
have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have
remained until this day.
MATTHEW 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
MATTHEW 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee,
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto
babes.
MATTHEW 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy
sight.
MATTHEW 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and
no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man
the Father, save the Son, and {he} to whomsoever the Son will
reveal {him}.
MATTHEW 11:28 Come unto me, all {ye} that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.
MATTHEW 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
MATTHEW 11:30 For my yoke {is} easy, and my burden is light.
MATTHEW 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through
the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck
the ears of corn and to eat.
MATTHEW 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw {it}, they said unto him,
Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the
sabbath day.
MATTHEW 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David
did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
MATTHEW 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat
the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for
them which were with him, but only for the priests?
MATTHEW 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the
sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and
are blameless?
MATTHEW 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is {one}
greater than the temple.
MATTHEW 12:7 But if ye had known what {this} meaneth, I will have
mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the
guiltless.
MATTHEW 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
MATTHEW 12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their
synagogue:
MATTHEW 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had {his} hand
withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the
sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
MATTHEW 12:11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be
among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit
on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift {it}
out?
MATTHEW 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep?
Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
MATTHEW 12:13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand.
And he stretched {it} forth; and it was restored whole, like as
the other.
MATTHEW 12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council
against him, how they might destroy him.
MATTHEW 12:15 But when Jesus knew {it}, he withdrew himself from
thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them
all;
MATTHEW 12:16 And charged them that they should not make him
known:
MATTHEW 12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying,
MATTHEW 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved,
in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him,
and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
MATTHEW 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man
hear his voice in the streets.
MATTHEW 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax
shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
MATTHEW 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
MATTHEW 12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a
devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the
blind and dumb both spake and saw.
MATTHEW 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not
this the son of David?
MATTHEW 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard {it}, they said, This
{fellow} doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of
the devils.
MATTHEW 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them,
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;
and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
MATTHEW 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against
himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
MATTHEW 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do
your children cast {them} out? therefore they shall be your
judges.
MATTHEW 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then
the kingdom of God is come unto you.
MATTHEW 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's
house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man?
and then he will spoil his house.
MATTHEW 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
MATTHEW 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy {against}
the {Holy} Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
MATTHEW 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of
man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the
Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the {world} to come.
MATTHEW 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or
else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree
is known by {his} fruit.
MATTHEW 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil,
speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh.
MATTHEW 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil
treasure bringeth forth evil things.
MATTHEW 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men
shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment.
MATTHEW 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by
thy words thou shalt be condemned.
MATTHEW 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees
answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
MATTHEW 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no
sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
MATTHEW 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the
whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth.
MATTHEW 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the
preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas {is} here.
MATTHEW 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the
judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came
from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of
Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon {is} here.
MATTHEW 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he
walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
MATTHEW 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from
whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth {it} empty,
swept, and garnished.
MATTHEW 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself 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.
Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
MATTHEW 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, {his}
mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with
him.
MATTHEW 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy
brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
MATTHEW 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him,
Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
MATTHEW 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his
disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
MATTHEW 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which
is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
MATTHEW 13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by
the sea side.
MATTHEW 13:2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto
him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole
multitude stood on the shore.
MATTHEW 13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables,
saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
MATTHEW 13:4 And when he sowed, some {seeds} fell by the way
side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
MATTHEW 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much
earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness
of earth:
MATTHEW 13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and
because they had no root, they withered away.
MATTHEW 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung
up, and choked them:
MATTHEW 13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth
fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
MATTHEW 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
MATTHEW 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why
speakest thou unto them in parables?
MATTHEW 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given
unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to
them it is not given.
MATTHEW 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he
shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall
be taken away even that he hath.
MATTHEW 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they
seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they
understand.
MATTHEW 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias,
which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;
and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
MATTHEW 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and {their}
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest
at any time they should see with {their} eyes, and hear with
{their} ears, and should understand with {their} heart, and
should be converted, and I should heal them.
MATTHEW 13:16 But blessed {are} your eyes, for they see: and your
ears, for they hear.
MATTHEW 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and
righteous {men} 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}.
MATTHEW 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
MATTHEW 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
understandeth {it} not, then cometh the wicked {one}, and
catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which
received seed by the way side.
MATTHEW 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places,
the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth
it;
MATTHEW 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a
while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the
word, by and by he is offended.
MATTHEW 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he
that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the
deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh
unfruitful.
MATTHEW 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is
he that heareth the word, and understandeth {it}; which also
beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some
sixty, some thirty.
MATTHEW 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in
his field:
MATTHEW 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares
among the wheat, and went his way.
MATTHEW 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth
fruit, then appeared the tares also.
MATTHEW 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said
unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from
whence then hath it tares?
MATTHEW 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The
servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them
up?
MATTHEW 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the
tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
MATTHEW 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in
the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together
first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but
gather the wheat into my barn.
MATTHEW 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man
took, and sowed in his field:
MATTHEW 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it
is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so
that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
MATTHEW 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of
heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
MATTHEW 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in
parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
MATTHEW 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter
things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the
world.
MATTHEW 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into
the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto
us the parable of the tares of the field.
MATTHEW 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the
good seed is the Son of man;
MATTHEW 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the
children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the
wicked {one};
MATTHEW 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest
is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
MATTHEW 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in
the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
MATTHEW 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and
they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and
them which do iniquity;
MATTHEW 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
MATTHEW 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in
the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
MATTHEW 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure
hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and
for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth
that field.
MATTHEW 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a
merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
MATTHEW 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price,
went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
MATTHEW 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net,
that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
MATTHEW 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and
sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad
away.
MATTHEW 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels
shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
MATTHEW 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
MATTHEW 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these
things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
MATTHEW 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe
{which is} instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a
man {that is} an householder, which bringeth forth out of his
treasure {things} new and old.
MATTHEW 13:53 And it came to pass, {that} when Jesus had finished
these parables, he departed thence.
MATTHEW 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he
taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were
astonished, and said, Whence hath this {man} this wisdom, and
{these} mighty works?
MATTHEW 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother
called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
Judas?
MATTHEW 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence
then hath this {man} all these things?
MATTHEW 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto
them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country,
and in his own house.
MATTHEW 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of
their unbelief.
MATTHEW 14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of
Jesus,
MATTHEW 14:2 And said unto his servants, This is John the
Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do
shew forth themselves in him.
MATTHEW 14:3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and
put {him} in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's
wife.
MATTHEW 14:4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to
have her.
MATTHEW 14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared
the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
MATTHEW 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of
Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
MATTHEW 14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her
whatsoever she would ask.
MATTHEW 14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother,
said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
MATTHEW 14:9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's
sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded {it} to
be given {her}.
MATTHEW 14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
MATTHEW 14:11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to
the damsel: and she brought {it} to her mother.
MATTHEW 14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and
buried it, and went and told Jesus.
MATTHEW 14:13 When Jesus heard {of it}, he departed thence by
ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard
{thereof}, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
MATTHEW 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude,
and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their
sick.
MATTHEW 14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him,
saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send
the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy
themselves victuals.
MATTHEW 14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart;
give ye them to eat.
MATTHEW 14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five
loaves, and two fishes.
MATTHEW 14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
MATTHEW 14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the
grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking
up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to {his}
disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
MATTHEW 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they
took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
MATTHEW 14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand
men, beside women and children.
MATTHEW 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to
get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while
he sent the multitudes away.
MATTHEW 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went
up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come,
he was there alone.
MATTHEW 14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea,
tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
MATTHEW 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went
unto them, walking on the sea.
MATTHEW 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea,
they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out
for fear.
MATTHEW 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be
of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
MATTHEW 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be
thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
MATTHEW 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out
of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
MATTHEW 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
MATTHEW 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth {his} hand,
and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith,
wherefore didst thou doubt?
MATTHEW 14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind
ceased.
MATTHEW 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped
him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
MATTHEW 14:34 And when they were gone over, they came into the
land of Gennesaret.
MATTHEW 14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of
him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought
unto him all that were diseased;
MATTHEW 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem
of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
MATTHEW 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were
of Jerusalem, saying,
MATTHEW 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the
elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
MATTHEW 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also
transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
MATTHEW 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and
mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the
death.
MATTHEW 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to {his} father or
{his} mother, {It is} a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be
profited by me;
MATTHEW 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, {he shall
be free}. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect
by your tradition.
MATTHEW 15:7 {Ye} hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you,
saying,
MATTHEW 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with {their} lips; but their heart is far from
me.
MATTHEW 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching {for}
doctrines the commandments of men.
MATTHEW 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them,
Hear, and understand:
MATTHEW 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man;
but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
MATTHEW 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest
thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this
saying?
MATTHEW 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my
heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
MATTHEW 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind.
And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
MATTHEW 15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto
us this parable.
MATTHEW 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without
understanding?
MATTHEW 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth
in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the
draught?
MATTHEW 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth
come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
MATTHEW 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,
murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemies:
MATTHEW 15:20 These are {the things} which defile a man: but to
eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
MATTHEW 15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the
coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
MATTHEW 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same
coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord,
{thou} Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a
devil.
MATTHEW 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples
came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth
after us.
MATTHEW 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto
the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
MATTHEW 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord,
help me.
MATTHEW 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take
the children's bread, and to cast {it} to dogs.
MATTHEW 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the
crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
MATTHEW 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman,
great {is} thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her
daughter was made whole from that very hour.
MATTHEW 15:29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto
the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down
there.
MATTHEW 15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with
them {those that were} lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many
others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
MATTHEW 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw
the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and
the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
MATTHEW 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples {unto him}, and
said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue
with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not
send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
MATTHEW 15:33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we
have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a
multitude?
MATTHEW 15:34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye?
And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
MATTHEW 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the
ground.
MATTHEW 15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and
gave thanks, and brake {them}, and gave to his disciples, and the
disciples to the multitude.
MATTHEW 15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they
took up of the broken {meat} that was left seven baskets full.
MATTHEW 15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men,
beside women and children.
MATTHEW 15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and
came into the coasts of Magdala.
MATTHEW 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and
tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
MATTHEW 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening,
ye say, {It will be} fair weather: for the sky is red.
MATTHEW 16:3 And in the morning, {It will be} foul weather to
day: for the sky is red and lowring. O {ye} hypocrites, ye can
discern the face of the sky; but can ye not {discern} the signs
of the times?
MATTHEW 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a
sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of
the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
MATTHEW 16:5 And when his disciples were come to the other side,
they had forgotten to take bread.
MATTHEW 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of
the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
MATTHEW 16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, {It is}
because we have taken no bread.
MATTHEW 16:8 {Which} when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O
ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye
have brought no bread?
MATTHEW 16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five
loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
MATTHEW 16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and
how many baskets ye took up?
MATTHEW 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake
{it} not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
MATTHEW 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade {them} not
beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
MATTHEW 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I
the Son of man am?
MATTHEW 16:14 And they said, Some {say that thou art} John the
Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the
prophets.
MATTHEW 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
MATTHEW 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God.
MATTHEW 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art
thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed {it}
unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
MATTHEW 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and
upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
MATTHEW 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom
of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound
in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven.
MATTHEW 16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell
no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
MATTHEW 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his
disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many
things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be
killed, and be raised again the third day.
MATTHEW 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him,
saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
MATTHEW 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind
me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not
the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
MATTHEW 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any {man}
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow me.
MATTHEW 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
MATTHEW 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?
MATTHEW 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his
Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man
according to his works.
MATTHEW 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here,
which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man
coming in his kingdom.
MATTHEW 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and
John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain
apart,
MATTHEW 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did
shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
MATTHEW 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and
Elias talking with him.
MATTHEW 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it
is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three
tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
MATTHEW 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which
said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye
him.
MATTHEW 17:6 And when the disciples heard {it}, they fell on
their face, and were sore afraid.
MATTHEW 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise,
and be not afraid.
MATTHEW 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no
man, save Jesus only.
MATTHEW 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus
charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of
man be risen again from the dead.
MATTHEW 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say
the scribes that Elias must first come?
MATTHEW 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly
shall first come, and restore all things.
MATTHEW 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and
they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.
Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
MATTHEW 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto
them of John the Baptist.
MATTHEW 17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there
came to him a {certain} man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
MATTHEW 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and
sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into
the water.
MATTHEW 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could
not cure him.
MATTHEW 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and
perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall
I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
MATTHEW 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of
him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
MATTHEW 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said,
Why could not we cast him out?
MATTHEW 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief:
for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto
you.
MATTHEW 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and
fasting.
MATTHEW 17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto
them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
MATTHEW 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall
be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
MATTHEW 17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that
received tribute {money} came to Peter, and said, Doth not your
master pay tribute?
MATTHEW 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house,
Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom
do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own
children, or of strangers?
MATTHEW 17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith
unto him, Then are the children free.
MATTHEW 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go
thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that
first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt
find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and
thee.
MATTHEW 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus,
saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
MATTHEW 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set
him in the midst of them,
MATTHEW 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be
converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this
little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my
name receiveth me.
MATTHEW 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones
which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and {that} he were drowned in the depth of
the sea.
MATTHEW 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must
needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the
offence cometh!
MATTHEW 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut
them off, and cast {them} from thee: it is better for thee to
enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or
two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
MATTHEW 18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast
{it} from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one
eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
MATTHEW 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little
ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
MATTHEW 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was
lost.
MATTHEW 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and
one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and
nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is
gone astray?
MATTHEW 18:13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto
you, he rejoiceth more of that {sheep}, than of the ninety and
nine which went not astray.
MATTHEW 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is
in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
MATTHEW 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against
thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he
shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
MATTHEW 18:16 But if he will not hear {thee, then} take with thee
one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established.
MATTHEW 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell {it}
unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be
unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
MATTHEW 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on
earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven.
MATTHEW 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall
agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it
shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
MATTHEW 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I in the midst of them.
MATTHEW 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft
shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven
times?
MATTHEW 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until
seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
MATTHEW 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a
certain king, which would take account of his servants.
MATTHEW 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought
unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
MATTHEW 18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord
commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all
that he had, and payment to be made.
MATTHEW 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all.
MATTHEW 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with
compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
MATTHEW 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his
fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid
hands on him, and took {him} by the throat, saying, Pay me that
thou owest.
MATTHEW 18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and
besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all.
MATTHEW 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into
prison, till he should pay the debt.
MATTHEW 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they
were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was
done.
MATTHEW 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said
unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt,
because thou desiredst me:
MATTHEW 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
MATTHEW 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the
tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
MATTHEW 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto
you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother
their trespasses.
MATTHEW 19:1 And it came to pass, {that} when Jesus had finished
these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts
of Judaea beyond Jordan;
MATTHEW 19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed
them there.
MATTHEW 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and
saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for
every cause?
MATTHEW 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not
read, that he which made {them} at the beginning made them male
and female,
MATTHEW 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father
and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be
one flesh?
MATTHEW 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
MATTHEW 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to
give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
MATTHEW 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of
your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so.
MATTHEW 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his
wife, except {it be} for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away
doth commit adultery.
MATTHEW 19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man
be so with {his} wife, it is not good to marry.
MATTHEW 19:11 But he said unto them, All {men} cannot receive
this saying, save {they} to whom it is given.
MATTHEW 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
{their} mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were
made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.  He that is
able to receive {it}, let him receive {it}.
MATTHEW 19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children,
that he should put {his} hands on them, and pray: and the
disciples rebuked them.
MATTHEW 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 19:15 And he laid {his} hands on them, and departed
thence.
MATTHEW 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
MATTHEW 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
{there is} none good but one, {that is}, God: but if thou wilt
enter into life, keep the commandments.
MATTHEW 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do
no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
MATTHEW 19:19 Honour thy father and {thy} mother: and, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself.
MATTHEW 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have
I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
MATTHEW 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go
{and} sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come {and} follow me.
MATTHEW 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went
away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
MATTHEW 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say
unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of
heaven.
MATTHEW 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of God.
MATTHEW 19:25 When his disciples heard {it}, they were
exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
MATTHEW 19:26 But Jesus beheld {them}, and said unto them, With
men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
MATTHEW 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we
have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have
therefore?
MATTHEW 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son
of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit
upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
MATTHEW 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and
shall inherit everlasting life.
MATTHEW 19:30 But many {that are} first shall be last; and the
last {shall be} first.
MATTHEW 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man {that
is} an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire
labourers into his vineyard.
MATTHEW 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a
penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
MATTHEW 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others
standing idle in the marketplace,
MATTHEW 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard,
and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
MATTHEW 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour,
and did likewise.
MATTHEW 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found
others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all
the day idle?
MATTHEW 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He
saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is
right, {that} shall ye receive.
MATTHEW 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard
saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them {their}
hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
MATTHEW 20:9 And when they came that {were hired} about the
eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
MATTHEW 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they
should have received more; and they likewise received every man a
penny.
MATTHEW 20:11 And when they had received {it}, they murmured
against the goodman of the house,
MATTHEW 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought {but} one hour, and
thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden
and heat of the day.
MATTHEW 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do
thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
MATTHEW 20:14 Take {that} thine {is}, and go thy way: I will give
unto this last, even as unto thee.
MATTHEW 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine
own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
MATTHEW 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for
many be called, but few chosen.
MATTHEW 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve
disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
MATTHEW 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes,
and they shall condemn him to death,
MATTHEW 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and
to scourge, and to crucify {him}: and the third day he shall rise
again.
MATTHEW 20:20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children
with her sons, worshipping {him}, and desiring a certain thing of
him.
MATTHEW 20:21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith
unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy
right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
MATTHEW 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye
ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and
to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say
unto him, We are able.
MATTHEW 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my
cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with:
but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give,
but {it shall be given to them} for whom it is prepared of my
Father.
MATTHEW 20:24 And when the ten heard {it}, they were moved with
indignation against the two brethren.
MATTHEW 20:25 But Jesus called them {unto him}, and said, Ye know
that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and
they that are great exercise authority upon them.
MATTHEW 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever
will be great among you, let him be your minister;
MATTHEW 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be
your servant:
MATTHEW 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
MATTHEW 20:29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great
multitude followed him.
MATTHEW 20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side,
when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have
mercy on us, O Lord, {thou} Son of David.
MATTHEW 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should
hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on
us, O Lord, {thou} Son of David.
MATTHEW 20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said,
What will ye that I shall do unto you?
MATTHEW 20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be
opened.
MATTHEW 20:34 So Jesus had compassion {on them}, and touched
their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they
followed him.
MATTHEW 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were
come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
disciples,
MATTHEW 21:2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against
you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with
her: loose {them}, and bring {them} unto me.
MATTHEW 21:3 And if any {man} say ought unto you, ye shall say,
The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
MATTHEW 21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the prophet, saying,
MATTHEW 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King
cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the
foal of an ass.
MATTHEW 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded
them,
MATTHEW 21:7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them
their clothes, and they set {him} thereon.
MATTHEW 21:8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in
the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed
{them} in the way.
MATTHEW 21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed
{is} he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the
highest.
MATTHEW 21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city
was moved, saying, Who is this?
MATTHEW 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet
of Nazareth of Galilee.
MATTHEW 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out
all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the
tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves,
MATTHEW 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall
be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of
thieves.
MATTHEW 21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the
temple; and he healed them.
MATTHEW 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the
wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the
temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore
displeased,
MATTHEW 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And
Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth
of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
MATTHEW 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into
Bethany; and he lodged there.
MATTHEW 21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he
hungered.
MATTHEW 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to
it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it,
Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently
the fig tree withered away.
MATTHEW 21:20 And when the disciples saw {it}, they marvelled,
saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
MATTHEW 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say
unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do
this {which is done} to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the
sea; it shall be done.
MATTHEW 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive.
MATTHEW 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief
priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was
teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things?
and who gave thee this authority?
MATTHEW 21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will
ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell
you by what authority I do these things.
MATTHEW 21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or
of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then
believe him?
MATTHEW 21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people;
for all hold John as a prophet.
MATTHEW 21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell.
And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do
these things.
MATTHEW 21:28 But what think ye? A {certain} man had two sons;
and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my
vineyard.
MATTHEW 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he
repented, and went.
MATTHEW 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And
he answered and said, I {go}, sir: and went not.
MATTHEW 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of {his} father?
They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say
unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom
of God before you.
MATTHEW 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness,
and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots
believed him: and ye, when ye had seen {it}, repented not
afterward, that ye might believe him.
MATTHEW 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain
householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about,
and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out
to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
MATTHEW 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent
his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the
fruits of it.
MATTHEW 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one,
and killed another, and stoned another.
MATTHEW 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first:
and they did unto them likewise.
MATTHEW 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying,
They will reverence my son.
MATTHEW 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said
among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and
let us seize on his inheritance.
MATTHEW 21:39 And they caught him, and cast {him} out of the
vineyard, and slew {him}.
MATTHEW 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh,
what will he do unto those husbandmen?
MATTHEW 21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those
wicked men, and will let out {his} vineyard unto other
husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
MATTHEW 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the
scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is
become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it
is marvellous in our eyes?
MATTHEW 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall
be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the
fruits thereof.
MATTHEW 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be
broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to
powder.
MATTHEW 21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard
his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
MATTHEW 21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they
feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
MATTHEW 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by
parables, and said,
MATTHEW 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king,
which made a marriage for his son,
MATTHEW 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were
bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
MATTHEW 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell
them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen
and {my} fatlings {are} killed, and all things {are} ready: come
unto the marriage.
MATTHEW 22:5 But they made light of {it}, and went their ways,
one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
MATTHEW 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated
{them} spitefully, and slew {them}.
MATTHEW 22:7 But when the king heard {thereof}, he was wroth: and
he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and
burned up their city.
MATTHEW 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready,
but they which were bidden were not worthy.
MATTHEW 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye
shall find, bid to the marriage.
MATTHEW 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and
gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good:
and the wedding was furnished with guests.
MATTHEW 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw
there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
MATTHEW 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in
hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
MATTHEW 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand
and foot, and take him away, and cast {him} into outer darkness;
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
MATTHEW 22:14 For many are called, but few {are} chosen.
MATTHEW 22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they
might entangle him in {his} talk.
MATTHEW 22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the
Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and
teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any
{man}: for thou regardest not the person of men.
MATTHEW 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful
to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
MATTHEW 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why
tempt ye me, {ye} hypocrites?
MATTHEW 22:19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto
him a penny.
MATTHEW 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose {is} this image and
superscription?
MATTHEW 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto
them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's;
and unto God the things that are God's.
MATTHEW 22:22 When they had heard {these words}, they marvelled,
and left him, and went their way.
MATTHEW 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say
that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
MATTHEW 22:24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no
children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed
unto his brother.
MATTHEW 22:25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the
first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no
issue, left his wife unto his brother:
MATTHEW 22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the
seventh.
MATTHEW 22:27 And last of all the woman died also.
MATTHEW 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she
be of the seven? for they all had her.
MATTHEW 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not
knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
MATTHEW 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
MATTHEW 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have
ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
MATTHEW 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and
the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the
living.
MATTHEW 22:33 And when the multitude heard {this}, they were
astonished at his doctrine.
MATTHEW 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put
the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
MATTHEW 22:35 Then one of them, {which was} a lawyer, asked {him
a question}, tempting him, and saying,
MATTHEW 22:36 Master, which {is} the great commandment in the
law?
MATTHEW 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind.
MATTHEW 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
MATTHEW 22:39 And the second {is} like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
MATTHEW 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets.
MATTHEW 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus
asked them,
MATTHEW 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?
They say unto him, {The Son} of David.
MATTHEW 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit
call him Lord, saying,
MATTHEW 22:44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right
hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
MATTHEW 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
MATTHEW 22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither
durst any {man} from that day forth ask him any more {questions}.
MATTHEW 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his
disciples,
MATTHEW 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses'
seat:
MATTHEW 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
{that} observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they
say, and do not.
MATTHEW 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be
borne, and lay {them} on men's shoulders; but they {themselves}
will not move them with one of their fingers.
MATTHEW 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men:
they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of
their garments,
MATTHEW 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the
chief seats in the synagogues,
MATTHEW 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of
men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
MATTHEW 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
{even} Christ; and all ye are brethren.
MATTHEW 23:9 And call no {man} your father upon the earth: for
one is your Father, which is in heaven.
MATTHEW 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your
Master, {even} Christ.
MATTHEW 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant.
MATTHEW 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
MATTHEW 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for
ye neither go in {yourselves}, neither suffer ye them that are
entering to go in.
MATTHEW 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long
prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
MATTHEW 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is
made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
MATTHEW 23:16 Woe unto you, {ye} blind guides, which say,
Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever
shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
MATTHEW 23:17 {Ye} fools and blind: for whether is greater, the
gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
MATTHEW 23:18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is
nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he
is guilty.
MATTHEW 23:19 {Ye} fools and blind: for whether {is} greater, the
gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
MATTHEW 23:20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth
by it, and by all things thereon.
MATTHEW 23:21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by
it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
MATTHEW 23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the
throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
MATTHEW 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted
the weightier {matters} of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
MATTHEW 23:24 {Ye} blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and
swallow a camel.
MATTHEW 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but
within they are full of extortion and excess.
MATTHEW 23:26 {Thou} blind Pharisee, cleanse first that {which
is} within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be
clean also.
MATTHEW 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear
beautiful outward, but are within full of dead {men's} bones, and
of all uncleanness.
MATTHEW 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto
men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
MATTHEW 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the
sepulchres of the righteous,
MATTHEW 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers,
we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
prophets.
MATTHEW 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye
are the children of them which killed the prophets.
MATTHEW 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
MATTHEW 23:33 {Ye} serpents, {ye} generation of vipers, how can
ye escape the damnation of hell?
MATTHEW 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and
wise men, and scribes: and {some} of them ye shall kill and
crucify; and {some} of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues,
and persecute {them} from city to city:
MATTHEW 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed
upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood
of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
and the altar.
MATTHEW 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come
upon this generation.
MATTHEW 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, {thou} that killest the
prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often
would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under {her} wings, and ye would not!
MATTHEW 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
MATTHEW 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall say, Blessed {is} he that cometh in the name of the
Lord.
MATTHEW 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple:
and his disciples came to {him} for to shew him the buildings of
the temple.
MATTHEW 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these
things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one
stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
MATTHEW 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the
disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall
these things be? and what {shall be} the sign of thy coming, and
of the end of the world?
MATTHEW 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed
that no man deceive you.
MATTHEW 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
MATTHEW 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see
that ye be not troubled: for all {these things} must come to
pass, but the end is not yet.
MATTHEW 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places.
MATTHEW 24:8 All these {are} the beginning of sorrows.
MATTHEW 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and
shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my
name's sake.
MATTHEW 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray
one another, and shall hate one another.
MATTHEW 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall
deceive many.
MATTHEW 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold.
MATTHEW 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same
shall be saved.
MATTHEW 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in
all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the
end come.
MATTHEW 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy
place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
MATTHEW 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains:
MATTHEW 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to
take any thing out of his house:
MATTHEW 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back
to take his clothes.
MATTHEW 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days!
MATTHEW 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the sabbath day:
MATTHEW 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was
not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever
shall be.
MATTHEW 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days
shall be shortened.
MATTHEW 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here {is}
Christ, or there; believe {it} not.
MATTHEW 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if {it were} possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
MATTHEW 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
MATTHEW 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is
in the desert; go not forth: behold, {he is} in the secret
chambers; believe {it} not.
MATTHEW 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be.
MATTHEW 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the
eagles be gathered together.
MATTHEW 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken:
MATTHEW 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and
they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.
MATTHEW 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of
a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four
winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
MATTHEW 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that
summer {is} nigh:
MATTHEW 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near, {even} at the doors.
MATTHEW 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not
pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
MATTHEW 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words
shall not pass away.
MATTHEW 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no {man}, no, not
the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
MATTHEW 24:37 But as the days of Noe {were}, so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.
MATTHEW 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noe entered into the ark,
MATTHEW 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them
all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
MATTHEW 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
MATTHEW 24:41 Two {women shall be} grinding at the mill; the one
shall be taken, and the other left.
MATTHEW 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your
Lord doth come.
MATTHEW 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had
known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched,
and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
MATTHEW 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as
ye think not the Son of man cometh.
MATTHEW 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his
lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
season?
MATTHEW 24:46 Blessed {is} that servant, whom his lord when he
cometh shall find so doing.
MATTHEW 24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler
over all his goods.
MATTHEW 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
MATTHEW 24:49 And shall begin to smite {his} fellowservants, and
to eat and drink with the drunken;
MATTHEW 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when
he looketh not for {him}, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
MATTHEW 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint {him} his
portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.
MATTHEW 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten
virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom.
MATTHEW 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five {were} foolish.
MATTHEW 25:3 They that {were} foolish took their lamps, and took
no oil with them:
MATTHEW 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their
lamps.
MATTHEW 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and
slept.
MATTHEW 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
MATTHEW 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their
lamps.
MATTHEW 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your
oil; for our lamps are gone out.
MATTHEW 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, {Not so}; lest there
be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell,
and buy for yourselves.
MATTHEW 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came;
and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and
the door was shut.
MATTHEW 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying,
Lord, Lord, open to us.
MATTHEW 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I
know you not.
MATTHEW 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor
the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
MATTHEW 25:14 For {the kingdom of heaven is} as a man travelling
into a far country, {who} called his own servants, and delivered
unto them his goods.
MATTHEW 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two,
and to another one; to every man according to his several
ability; and straightway took his journey.
MATTHEW 25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and
traded with the same, and made {them} other five talents.
MATTHEW 25:17 And likewise he that {had received} two, he also
gained other two.
MATTHEW 25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the
earth, and hid his lord's money.
MATTHEW 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants
cometh, and reckoneth with them.
MATTHEW 25:20 And so he that had received five talents came and
brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto
me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents
more.
MATTHEW 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, {thou} good and
faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord.
MATTHEW 25:22 He also that had received two talents came and
said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have
gained two other talents beside them.
MATTHEW 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and
faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord.
MATTHEW 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and
said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where
thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
MATTHEW 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in
the earth: lo, {there} thou hast {that is} thine.
MATTHEW 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, {Thou} wicked
and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not,
and gather where I have not strawed:
MATTHEW 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and {then} at my coming I should have received mine
own with usury.
MATTHEW 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give {it}
unto him which hath ten talents.
MATTHEW 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he
shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken
away even that which he hath.
MATTHEW 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
MATTHEW 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and
all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne
of his glory:
MATTHEW 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and
he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth
{his} sheep from the goats:
MATTHEW 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but
the goats on the left.
MATTHEW 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right
hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world:
MATTHEW 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me
in:
MATTHEW 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye
visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
MATTHEW 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed {thee}? or thirsty, and gave
{thee} drink?
MATTHEW 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took {thee} in? or
naked, and clothed {thee}?
MATTHEW 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came
unto thee?
MATTHEW 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily
I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done {it} unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done {it} unto me.
MATTHEW 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for
the devil and his angels:
MATTHEW 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
MATTHEW 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and
ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
MATTHEW 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when
saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
MATTHEW 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say
unto you, Inasmuch as ye did {it} not to one of the least of
these, ye did {it} not to me.
MATTHEW 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting
punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
MATTHEW 26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all
these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
MATTHEW 26:2 Ye know that after two days is {the feast of} the
passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
MATTHEW 26:3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the
scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the
high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
MATTHEW 26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by
subtilty, and kill {him}.
MATTHEW 26:5 But they said, Not on the feast {day}, lest there be
an uproar among the people.
MATTHEW 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon
the leper,
MATTHEW 26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box
of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat
{at meat}.
MATTHEW 26:8 But when his disciples saw {it}, they had
indignation, saying, To what purpose {is} this waste?
MATTHEW 26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and
given to the poor.
MATTHEW 26:10 When Jesus understood {it}, he said unto them, Why
trouble ye the woman?  for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
MATTHEW 26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye
have not always.
MATTHEW 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my
body, she did {it} for my burial.
MATTHEW 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached in the whole world, {there} shall also this,
that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
MATTHEW 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went
unto the chief priests,
MATTHEW 26:15 And said {unto them}, What will ye give me, and I
will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for
thirty pieces of silver.
MATTHEW 26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray
him.
MATTHEW 26:17 Now the first {day} of the {feast of} unleavened
bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt
thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
MATTHEW 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and
say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep
the passover at thy house with my disciples.
MATTHEW 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them;
and they made ready the passover.
MATTHEW 26:20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the
twelve.
MATTHEW 26:21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto
you, that one of you shall betray me.
MATTHEW 26:22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every
one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
MATTHEW 26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth {his}
hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
MATTHEW 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but
woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been
good for that man if he had not been born.
MATTHEW 26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said,
Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
MATTHEW 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed {it}, and brake {it}, and gave {it} to the disciples, and
said, Take, eat; this is my body.
MATTHEW 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave {it}
to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
MATTHEW 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for the remission of sins.
MATTHEW 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of
this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with
you in my Father's kingdom.
MATTHEW 26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into
the mount of Olives.
MATTHEW 26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be
offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will
smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered
abroad.
MATTHEW 26:32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you
into Galilee.
MATTHEW 26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all {men}
shall be offended because of thee, {yet} will I never be
offended.
MATTHEW 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That
this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
MATTHEW 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee,
yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
MATTHEW 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go
and pray yonder.
MATTHEW 26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of
Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
MATTHEW 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
MATTHEW 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face,
and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou {wilt}.
MATTHEW 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them
asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me
one hour?
MATTHEW 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:
the spirit indeed {is} willing, but the flesh {is} weak.
MATTHEW 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed,
saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me,
except I drink it, thy will be done.
MATTHEW 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their
eyes were heavy.
MATTHEW 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed
the third time, saying the same words.
MATTHEW 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto
them, Sleep on now, and take {your} rest: behold, the hour is at
hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
MATTHEW 26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that
doth betray me.
MATTHEW 26:47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the
twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and
staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
MATTHEW 26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
MATTHEW 26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail,
master; and kissed him.
MATTHEW 26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou
come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
MATTHEW 26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus
stretched out {his} hand, and drew his sword, and struck a
servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
MATTHEW 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword
into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish
with the sword.
MATTHEW 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father,
and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of
angels?
MATTHEW 26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled,
that thus it must be?
MATTHEW 26:55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are
ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take
me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
hold on me.
MATTHEW 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the
prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him,
and fled.
MATTHEW 26:57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led {him} away
to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders
were assembled.
MATTHEW 26:58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high
priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see
the end.
MATTHEW 26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the
council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
MATTHEW 26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses
came, {yet} found they none. At the last came two false
witnesses,
MATTHEW 26:61 And said, This {fellow} said, I am able to destroy
the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
MATTHEW 26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him,
Answerest thou nothing?  what {is it which} these witness against
thee?
MATTHEW 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest
answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that
thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
MATTHEW 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless
I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on
the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
MATTHEW 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He
hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses?
behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
MATTHEW 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty
of death.
MATTHEW 26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him;
and others smote {him} with the palms of their hands,
MATTHEW 26:68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he
that smote thee?
MATTHEW 26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel
came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
MATTHEW 26:70 But he denied before {them} all, saying, I know not
what thou sayest.
MATTHEW 26:71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another
{maid} saw him, and said unto them that were there, This {fellow}
was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
MATTHEW 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the
man.
MATTHEW 26:73 And after a while came unto {him} they that stood
by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art {one} of them; for
thy speech bewrayeth thee.
MATTHEW 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, {saying}, I
know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
MATTHEW 26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said
unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he
went out, and wept bitterly.
MATTHEW 27:1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and
elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to
death:
MATTHEW 27:2 And when they had bound him, they led {him} away,
and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
MATTHEW 27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that
he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
MATTHEW 27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the
innocent blood. And they said, What {is that} to us? see thou {to
that}.
MATTHEW 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple,
and departed, and went and hanged himself.
MATTHEW 27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and
said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because
it is the price of blood.
MATTHEW 27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the
potter's field, to bury strangers in.
MATTHEW 27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,
unto this day.
MATTHEW 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of
Israel did value;
MATTHEW 27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord
appointed me.
MATTHEW 27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the
governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And
Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
MATTHEW 27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and
elders, he answered nothing.
MATTHEW 27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how
many things they witness against thee?
MATTHEW 27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that
the governor marvelled greatly.
MATTHEW 27:15 Now at {that} feast the governor was wont to
release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
MATTHEW 27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called
Barabbas.
MATTHEW 27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate
said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas,
or Jesus which is called Christ?
MATTHEW 27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
MATTHEW 27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife
sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just
man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because
of him.
MATTHEW 27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the
multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
MATTHEW 27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether
of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said,
Barabbas.
MATTHEW 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with
Jesus which is called Christ? {They} all say unto him, Let him be
crucified.
MATTHEW 27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done?
But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
MATTHEW 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but
{that} rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed {his}
hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of
this just person: see ye {to it}.
MATTHEW 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood
{be} on us, and on our children.
MATTHEW 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he
had scourged Jesus, he delivered {him} to be crucified.
MATTHEW 27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into
the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band {of
soldiers}.
MATTHEW 27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet
robe.
MATTHEW 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they
put {it} upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they
bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of
the Jews!
MATTHEW 27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and
smote him on the head.
MATTHEW 27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the
robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him
away to crucify {him}.
MATTHEW 27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
MATTHEW 27:33 And when they were come unto a place called
Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
MATTHEW 27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall:
and when he had tasted {thereof}, he would not drink.
MATTHEW 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments,
casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture
did they cast lots.
MATTHEW 27:36 And sitting down they watched him there;
MATTHEW 27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written,
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
MATTHEW 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one
on the right hand, and another on the left.
MATTHEW 27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their
heads,
MATTHEW 27:40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest {it} in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of
God, come down from the cross.
MATTHEW 27:41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking {him}, with
the scribes and elders, said,
MATTHEW 27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be
the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we
will believe him.
MATTHEW 27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he
will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
MATTHEW 27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him,
cast the same in his teeth.
MATTHEW 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all
the land unto the ninth hour.
MATTHEW 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
MATTHEW 27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard
{that}, said, This {man} calleth for Elias.
MATTHEW 27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge,
and filled {it} with vinegar, and put {it} on a reed, and gave
him to drink.
MATTHEW 27:49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias
will come to save him.
MATTHEW 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice,
yielded up the ghost.
MATTHEW 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in
twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and
the rocks rent;
MATTHEW 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the
saints which slept arose,
MATTHEW 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection,
and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
MATTHEW 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with
him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that
were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of
God.
MATTHEW 27:55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which
followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
MATTHEW 27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
MATTHEW 27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of
Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
MATTHEW 27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
MATTHEW 27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it
in a clean linen cloth,
MATTHEW 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn
out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the
sepulchre, and departed.
MATTHEW 27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary,
sitting over against the sepulchre.
MATTHEW 27:62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the
preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto
Pilate,
MATTHEW 27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said,
while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
MATTHEW 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure
until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal
him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so
the last error shall be worse than the first.
MATTHEW 27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your
way, make {it} as sure as ye can.
MATTHEW 27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing
the stone, and setting a watch.
MATTHEW 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn
toward the first {day} of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary to see the sepulchre.
MATTHEW 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the
angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back
the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
MATTHEW 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment
white as snow:
MATTHEW 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and
became as dead {men}.
MATTHEW 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear
not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
MATTHEW 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come,
see the place where the Lord lay.
MATTHEW 28:7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is
risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into
Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
MATTHEW 28:8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with
fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
MATTHEW 28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold,
Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by
the feet, and worshipped him.
MATTHEW 28:10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell
my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see
me.
MATTHEW 28:11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch
came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the
things that were done.
MATTHEW 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and
had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
MATTHEW 28:13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and
stole him {away} while we slept.
MATTHEW 28:14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will
persuade him, and secure you.
MATTHEW 28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were
taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until
this day.
MATTHEW 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
MATTHEW 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but
some doubted.
MATTHEW 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
MATTHEW 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:
MATTHEW 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, {even} unto the
end of the world. Amen.
