MT-1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of

David, the son

of Abraham.

MT-1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob

begat Judas and

his brethren;

MT-1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares

begat Esrom; and

Esrom begat Aram;

MT-1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and

Naasson begat

Salmon;

MT-1:5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of

Ruth; and Obed

begat Jesse;

MT-1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat

Solomon of

her [that had been the wife] of Urias;

MT-1:7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and

Abia begat Asa;

MT-1:8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and

Joram begat

Ozias;

MT-1:9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and

Achaz begat

Ezekias;

MT-1:10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon;

and Amon begat

Josias;

MT-1:11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the

time they were

carried away to Babylon:

MT-1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat

Salathiel;

and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

MT-1:13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and

Eliakim begat

Azor;

MT-1:14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim

begat Eliud;

MT-1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and

Matthan begat

Jacob;

MT-1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was

born Jesus,

who is called Christ.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not

willing to make

her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which

was spoken of

the Lord by the prophet, saying,

MT-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.

MT-1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of

the Lord had

bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

MT-1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her

firstborn son: and he

called his name JESUS.

MT-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,

MT-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.

MT-2:3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was

troubled, and all

Jerusalem with him.

MT-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.

MT-2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus

it is written

by the prophet,

MT-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.

MT-2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,

inquired of them

diligently what time the star appeared.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding

great joy.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother

by night, and

departed into Egypt:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the

prophet,

saying,

MT-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.

MT-2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord

appeareth in a

dream to Joseph in Egypt,

MT-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.

MT-2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother,

and came into

the land of Israel.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the

wilderness of

Judaea,

MT-3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at

hand.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all

the region

round about Jordan,

MT-3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their

sins.

MT-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?

MT-3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to

be baptized of

him.

MT-3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized

of thee, and

comest thou to me?

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved

Son, in whom I

am well pleased.

MT-4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness

to be tempted

of the devil.

MT-4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he

was afterward

an hungered.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and

setteth him on a

pinnacle of the temple,

MT-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.

MT-4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not

tempt the

Lord thy God.

MT-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;

MT-4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee,

if thou wilt

fall down and worship me.

MT-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.

MT-4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came

and ministered

unto him.

MT-4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison,

he departed

into Galilee;

MT-4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum,

which is upon

the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

MT-4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias

the prophet,

saying,

MT-4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by]

the way of the

sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

MT-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.

MT-4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,

Repent: for the

kingdom of heaven is at hand.

MT-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.

MT-4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you

fishers of

men.

MT-4:20 And they straightway left [their] nets, and followed

him.

MT-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.

MT-4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father,

and followed

him.

MT-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.

MT-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 lunatic, and

those that had

the palsy; and he healed them.

MT-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.

MT-5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:

and when he was

set, his disciples came unto him:

MT-5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

MT-5:3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the

kingdom of heaven.

MT-5:4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be

comforted.

MT-5:5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

MT-5:6 Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after

righteousness: for

they shall be filled.

MT-5:7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

MT-5:8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

MT-5:9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called

the children

of God.

MT-5:10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for

righteousness' sake: for

theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

MT-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.

MT-5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your

reward in heaven:

for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

MT-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.

MT-5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an

hill cannot

be hid.

MT-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.

MT-5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see

your good

works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

MT-5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the

prophets: I am

not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and

there rememberest

that thy brother hath aught against thee;

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out

thence, till

thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

MT-5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,

Thou shalt not

commit adultery:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife,

let him give

her a writing of divorcement:

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven;

for it is

God's throne:

MT-5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by

Jerusalem; for

it is the city of the great King.

MT-5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou

canst not make one

hair white or black.

MT-5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for

whatsoever is

more than these cometh of evil.

MT-5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye,

and a tooth

for a tooth:

MT-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.

MT-5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away

thy coat, let

him have [thy] cloak also.

MT-5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with

him twain.

MT-5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would

borrow of thee

turn not thou away.

MT-5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love

thy neighbour,

and hate thine enemy.

MT-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;

MT-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.

MT-5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have

ye? do not even

the publicans the same?

MT-5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more

[than others]?

do not even the publicans so?

MT-5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is

in heaven is

perfect.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know

what thy right

hand doeth:

MT-6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which

seeth in secret

himself shall reward thee openly.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father

knoweth what

things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

MT-6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which

art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

MT-6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is]

in heaven.

MT-6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

MT-6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

MT-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.

MT-6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly

Father will

also forgive you:

MT-6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither

will your Father

forgive your trespasses.

MT-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.

MT-6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and

wash thy face;

MT-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.

MT-6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where

moth and rust

doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

MT-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:

MT-6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be

also.

MT-6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine

eye be single,

thy whole body shall be full of light.

MT-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!

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-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?

MT-6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto

his stature?

MT-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:

MT-6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his

glory was not

arrayed like one of these.

MT-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?

MT-6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?

or, What shall

we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

MT-6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for

your heavenly

Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

MT-6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his

righteousness; and all

these things shall be added unto you.

MT-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.

MT-7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;

knock, and it

shall be opened unto you:

MT-7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh

findeth; and

to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

MT-7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,

will he give

him a stone?

MT-7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way,

which leadeth

unto life, and few there be that find it.

MT-7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's

clothing, but

inwardly they are ravening wolves.

MT-7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather

grapes of thorns,

or figs of thistles?

MT-7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but

a corrupt tree

bringeth forth evil fruit.

MT-7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither

[can] a corrupt

tree bring forth good fruit.

MT-7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn

down, and cast

into the fire.

MT-7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:

depart from me,

ye that work iniquity.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings,

the people

were astonished at his doctrine:

MT-7:29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not

as the scribes.

MT-8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great

multitudes followed

him.

MT-8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him,

saying, Lord, if

thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

MT-8:3 And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying,

I will; be

thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

MT-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.

MT-8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came

unto him a

centurion, beseeching him,

MT-8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the

palsy,

grievously tormented.

MT-8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

MT-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.

MT-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].

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into

outer

darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MT-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.

MT-8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his

wife's mother

laid, and sick of a fever.

MT-8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and

she arose, and

ministered unto them.

MT-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:

MT-8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias

the prophet,

saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses.

MT-8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave

commandment to

depart unto the other side.

MT-8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I

will follow

thee whithersoever thou goest.

MT-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.

MT-8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord,

suffer me first to

go and bury my father.

MT-8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead

bury their dead.

MT-8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples

followed him.

MT-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.

MT-8:25 And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying,

Lord, save

us: we perish.

MT-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.

MT-8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is

this, that even

the winds and the sea obey him!

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many

swine feeding.

MT-8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,

suffer us to

go away into the herd of swine.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came

into his own

city.

MT-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.

MT-9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within

themselves, This [man]

blasphemeth.

MT-9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think

ye evil in your

hearts?

MT-9:5 For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven

thee; or to say,

Arise, and walk?

MT-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.

MT-9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

MT-9:8 But when the multitude saw [it], they marvelled, and

glorified God,

which had given such power unto men.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-9:11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his

disciples, Why

eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

MT-9:12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They

that be whole

need not a physician, but they that are sick.

MT-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.

MT-9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do

we and the

Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his

disciples.

MT-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:

MT-9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his

garment, I shall

be whole.

MT-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.

MT-9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the

minstrels and

the people making a noise,

MT-9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead,

but

sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

MT-9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and

took her by the

hand, and the maid arose.

MT-9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

MT-9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed

him, crying,

and saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.

MT-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.

MT-9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your

faith be it

unto you.

MT-9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged

them, saying,

See [that] no man know [it].

MT-9:31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his

fame in all that

country.

MT-9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb

man possessed

with a devil.

MT-9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and

the multitudes

marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

MT-9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through

the prince of

the devils.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly

[is] plenteous,

but the labourers [are] few;

MT-9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will

send forth

labourers into his harvest.

MT-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.

MT-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;

MT-10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the

publican; James [the

son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

MT-10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also

betrayed him.

MT-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:

MT-10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

MT-10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is

at hand.

MT-10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast

out devils:

freely ye have received, freely give.

MT-10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your

purses,

MT-10:10 Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats,

neither shoes, nor

yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

MT-10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter,

enquire who in it

is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

MT-10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of

wolves: be ye

therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

MT-10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the

councils, and

they will scourge you in their synagogues;

MT-10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for

my sake, for

a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

MT-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.

MT-10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your

Father which

speaketh in you.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-10:24 The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the

servant above his

lord.

MT-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?

MT-10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered,

that shall

not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of

them shall not

fall on the ground without your Father.

MT-10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

MT-10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many

sparrows.

MT-10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him

will I confess

also before my Father which is in heaven.

MT-10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I

also deny before

my Father which is in heaven.

MT-10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I

came not to send

peace, but a sword.

MT-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.

MT-10:36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.

MT-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.

MT-10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after

me, is not

worthy of me.

MT-10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that

loseth his life

for my sake shall find it.

MT-10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that

receiveth me

receiveth him that sent me.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of

Christ, he sent

two of his disciples,

MT-11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do

we look for

another?

MT-11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John

again those

things which ye do hear and see:

MT-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.

MT-11:6 And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in

me.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say

unto you, and

more than a prophet.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

MT-11:14 And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was

for to come.

MT-11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

MT-11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is

like unto

children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

MT-11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not

danced; we have

mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

MT-11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they

say, He hath a

devil.

MT-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.

MT-11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of

his mighty works

were done, because they repented not:

MT-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.

MT-11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for

Tyre and Sidon at

the day of judgment, than for you.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

MT-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].

MT-11:28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will

give you rest.

MT-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.

MT-11:30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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;

MT-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?

MT-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?

MT-12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater

than the

temple.

MT-12:7 But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have

mercy, and not

sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

MT-12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

MT-12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their

synagogue:

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore

it is lawful

to do well on the sabbath days.

MT-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.

MT-12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council

against him, how

they might destroy him.

MT-12:15 But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from

thence: and great

multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

MT-12:16 And charged them that they should not make him known:

MT-12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias

the prophet,

saying,

MT-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.

MT-12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man

hear his voice

in the streets.

MT-12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax

shall he not

quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

MT-12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

MT-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.

MT-12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this

the son of

David?

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against

himself; how

shall then his kingdom stand?

MT-12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your

children cast

[them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.

MT-12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then

the kingdom of

God is come unto you.

MT-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.

MT-12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that

gathereth not with

me scattereth abroad.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy

words thou

shalt be condemned.

MT-12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees

answered, saying,

Master, we would see a sign from thee.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he

walketh through dry

places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his]

mother and his

brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

MT-12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy

brethren stand

without, desiring to speak with thee.

MT-12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who

is my mother?

and who are my brethren?

MT-12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples,

and said,

Behold my mother and my brethren!

MT-12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is

in heaven, the

same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

MT-13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by

the sea side.

MT-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.

MT-13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,

Behold, a

sower went forth to sow;

MT-13:4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side,

and the fowls

came and devoured them up:

MT-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:

MT-13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and

because they had no

root, they withered away.

MT-13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up,

and choked

them:

MT-13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth

fruit, some an

hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

MT-13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

MT-13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why

speakest thou unto

them in parables?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they

seeing see not;

and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-13:16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your

ears, for they

hear.

MT-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].

MT-13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

MT-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.

MT-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;

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares

among the wheat,

and went his way.

MT-13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth

fruit, then

appeared the tares also.

MT-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?

MT-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?

MT-13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares,

ye root up also

the wheat with them.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in

parables; and

without a parable spake he not unto them:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the

good seed is the

Son of man;

MT-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];

MT-13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is

the end of

the world; and the reapers are the angels.

MT-13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the

fire; so shall

it be in the end of this world.

MT-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;

MT-13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there

shall be wailing

and gnashing of teeth.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant

man, seeking

goodly pearls:

MT-13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went

and sold all

that he had, and bought it.

MT-13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that

was cast into

the sea, and gathered of every kind:

MT-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.

MT-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,

MT-13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there

shall be wailing

and gnashing of teeth.

MT-13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these

things? They say

unto him, Yea, Lord.

MT-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.

MT-13:53 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished

these parables,

he departed thence.

MT-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?

MT-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?

MT-13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then

hath this

[man] all these things?

MT-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.

MT-13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of

their unbelief.

MT-14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of

Jesus,

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-14:4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to

have her.

MT-14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the

multitude,

because they counted him as a prophet.

MT-14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of

Herodias danced

before them, and pleased Herod.

MT-14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her

whatsoever she would

ask.

MT-14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said,

Give me here

John Baptist's head in a charger.

MT-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].

MT-14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

MT-14:11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to

the damsel: and

she brought [it] to her mother.

MT-14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and

buried it, and

went and told Jesus.

MT-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.

MT-14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and

was moved with

compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

MT-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.

MT-14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give

ye them to eat.

MT-14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves,

and two fishes.

MT-14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.

MT-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.

MT-14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took

up of the

fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

MT-14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men,

beside women

and children.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed

with waves: for

the wind was contrary.

MT-14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto

them, walking

on the sea.

MT-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.

MT-14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of

good cheer; it

is I; be not afraid.

MT-14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou,

bid me come

unto thee on the water.

MT-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.

MT-14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;

and beginning to

sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

MT-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?

MT-14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

MT-14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped

him, saying, Of

a truth thou art the Son of God.

MT-14:34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land

of Gennesaret.

MT-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;

MT-14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of

his garment:

and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

MT-15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of

Jerusalem,

saying,

MT-15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the

elders? for they

wash not their hands when they eat bread.

MT-15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also

transgress the

commandment of God by your tradition?

MT-15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother:

and, He that

curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

MT-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;

MT-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.

MT-15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you,

saying,

MT-15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and

honoureth me

with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.

MT-15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for]

doctrines the

commandments of men.

MT-15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear,

and

understand:

MT-15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man;

but that which

cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

MT-15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest

thou that the

Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

MT-15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my

heavenly Father hath

not planted, shall be rooted up.

MT-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.

MT-15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us

this parable.

MT-15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

MT-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?

MT-15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come

forth from the

heart; and they defile the man.

MT-15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,

adulteries,

fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

MT-15:20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat

with unwashen

hands defileth not a man.

MT-15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts

of Tyre and

Sidon.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the

lost sheep of

the house of Israel.

MT-15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help

me.

MT-15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the

children's

bread, and cast [it] to dogs.

MT-15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the

crumbs which fall

from their masters' table.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-15:34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye?

And they said,

Seven, and a few little fishes.

MT-15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the

ground.

MT-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.

MT-15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took

up of the

broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.

MT-15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside

women and

children.

MT-15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and

came into the

coasts of Magdala.

MT-16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and

tempting desired him

that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

MT-16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye

say, [It will

be] fair weather: for the sky is red.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-16:5 And when his disciples were come to the other side,

they had

forgotten to take bread.

MT-16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the

leaven of the

Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

MT-16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is]

because we have

taken no bread.

MT-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?

MT-16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five

loaves of the

five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

MT-16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how

many baskets

ye took up?

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-16:14 And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the

Baptist: some,

Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

MT-16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

MT-16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,

the Son of

the living God.

MT-16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou,

Simon

Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee,

but my Father

which is in heaven.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no

man that he

was Jesus the Christ.

MT-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.

MT-16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying,

Be it far from

thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and

whosoever will

lose his life for my sake shall find it.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John

his brother,

and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

MT-17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did

shine as the sun,

and his raiment was white as the light.

MT-17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias

talking with

him.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-17:6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their

face, and were

sore afraid.

MT-17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and

be not afraid.

MT-17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,

save Jesus

only.

MT-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.

MT-17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the

scribes that

Elias must first come?

MT-17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly

shall first come,

and restore all things.

MT-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.

MT-17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them

of John the

Baptist.

MT-17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came

to him a

[certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

MT-17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is a lunatick, and

sore vexed:

for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

MT-17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not

cure him.

MT-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.

MT-17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of

him: and the

child was cured from that very hour.

MT-17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why

could not we

cast him out?

MT-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.

MT-17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and

fasting.

MT-17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them,

The Son of

man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

MT-17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be

raised again.

And they were exceeding sorry.

MT-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?

MT-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?

MT-17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto

him, Then are

the children free.

MT-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.

MT-18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,

Who is the

greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

MT-18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him

in the midst of

them,

MT-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.

MT-18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little

child, the

same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

MT-18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my

name receiveth

me.

MT-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.

MT-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!

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in

heaven, that

one of these little ones should perish.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto

the church: but

if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a

heathen man and a

publican.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my

name, there am I

in the midst of them.

MT-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?

MT-18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven

times: but,

Until seventy times seven.

MT-18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a

certain king,

which would take account of his servants.

MT-18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto

him, which

owed him ten thousand talents.

MT-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.

MT-18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him,

saying, Lord,

have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

MT-18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with

compassion, and loosed

him, and forgave him the debt.

MT-18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his

fellow servants,

which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and

took [him] by

the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

MT-18:29 And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and

besought him,

saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

MT-18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison,

till he should

pay the debt.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy

fellowservant,

even as I had pity on thee?

MT-18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the

tormentors, till he

should pay all that was due unto him.

MT-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.

MT-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;

MT-19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them

there.

MT-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?

MT-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,

MT-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?

MT-19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What

therefore God

hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

MT-19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a

writing of

divorcement, and to put her away?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be

so with [his]

wife, it is not good to marry.

MT-19:11 But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this

saying, save

[they] to whom it is given.

MT-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].

MT-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.

MT-19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid

them not, to come

unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

MT-19:15 And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed thence.

MT-19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master,

what good

thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

MT-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.

MT-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,

MT-19:19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt

love thy

neighbour as thyself.

MT-19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I

kept from my

youth up: what lack I yet?

MT-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.

MT-19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away

sorrowful:

for he had great possessions.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-19:25 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly

amazed, saying,

Who then can be saved?

MT-19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men

this is

impossible; but with God all things are possible.

MT-19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have

forsaken all,

and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-19:30 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last

[shall be]

first.

MT-20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is]

householder, which went out early in the morning to hire

labourers into his

vineyard.

MT-20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a

day, he sent

them into his vineyard.

MT-20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others

standing idle in

the marketplace,

MT-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.

MT-20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and

did likewise.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-20:9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh

hour, they

received every man a penny.

MT-20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they

should have

received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

MT-20:11 And when they had received [it], they murmured against

the goodman

of the house,

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-20:14 Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give

unto this last,

even as unto thee.

MT-20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine

own? Is thine

eye evil, because I am good?

MT-20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for

many be called,

but few chosen.

MT-20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve

disciples apart in

the way, and said unto them,

MT-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,

MT-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.

MT-20:20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with

her sons,

worshipping [him], and desiring a certain thing of him.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-20:24 And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with

indignation

against the two brethren.

MT-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.

MT-20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will

be great among

you, let him be your minister;

MT-20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your

servant:

MT-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.

MT-20:29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude

followed him.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What

will ye that

I shall do unto you?

MT-20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

MT-20:34 So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their

eyes: and

immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

MT-21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come

to Bethphage,

unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

MT-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.

MT-21:3 And if any [man] say aught unto you, ye shall say, The

Lord hath need

of them; and straightway he will send them.

MT-21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was

spoken by the

prophet, saying,

MT-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.

MT-21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

MT-21:7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them

their clothes, and

they set [him] thereon.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was

moved, saying,

Who is this?

MT-21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of

Nazareth of

Galilee.

MT-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,

MT-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.

MT-21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple;

and he healed

them.

MT-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,

MT-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?

MT-21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into

Bethany; and he

lodged there.

MT-21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he

hungered.

MT-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.

MT-21:20 And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled,

saying, How soon is

the fig tree withered away!

MT-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.

MT-21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,

believing, ye

shall receive.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for

all hold John

as a prophet.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he

repented, and

went.

MT-21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he

answered and

said, I [go], sir: and went not.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one,

and killed

another, and stoned another.

MT-21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and

they did unto

them likewise.

MT-21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying,

They will

reverence my son.

MT-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.

MT-21:39 And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the

vineyard, and slew

[him].

MT-21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what

will he do unto

those husbandmen?

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken:

but on

whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

MT-21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his

parables,

they perceived that he spake of them.

MT-21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared

the multitude,

because they took him for a prophet.

MT-22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by

parables, and said,

MT-22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king,

which made a

marriage for his son,

MT-22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were

bidden to the

wedding: and they would not come.

MT-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.

MT-22:5 But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one

to his farm,

another to his merchandise:

MT-22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them]

spitefully,

and slew [them].

MT-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.

MT-22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready,

but they which

were bidden were not worthy.

MT-22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye

shall find, bid

to the marriage.

MT-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.

MT-22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw

there a man

which had not on a wedding garment:

MT-22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in

hither not having

a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

MT-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.

MT-22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.

MT-22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they

might entangle

him in [his] talk.

MT-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.

MT-22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to

give tribute

unto Caesar, or not?

MT-22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why

tempt ye me,

[ye] hypocrites?

MT-22:19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a

penny.

MT-22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and

superscription?

MT-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.

MT-22:22 When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and

left him, and

went their way.

MT-22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that

there is no

resurrection, and asked him,

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the

seventh.

MT-22:27 And last of all the woman died also.

MT-22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be

of the seven?

for they all had her.

MT-22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not

knowing the

scriptures, nor the power of God.

MT-22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are

given in

marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

MT-22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye

not read that

which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

MT-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.

MT-22:33 And when the multitude heard [this], they were

astonished at his

doctrine.

MT-22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the

Sadducees to

silence, they were gathered together.

MT-22:35 Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a

question],

tempting him, and saying,

MT-22:36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?

MT-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.

MT-22:38 This is the first and great commandment.

MT-22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy

neighbour as

thyself.

MT-22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the

prophets.

MT-22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus

asked them,

MT-22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They

say unto him,

[The son] of David.

MT-22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call

him Lord,

saying,

MT-22:44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

till I make

thine enemies thy footstool?

MT-22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

MT-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].

MT-23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

MT-23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses'

seat:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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,

MT-23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief

seats in the

synagogues,

MT-23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men,

Rabbi, Rabbi.

MT-23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,

[even] Christ;

and all ye are brethren.

MT-23:9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one

is your Father,

which is in heaven.

MT-23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,

[even] Christ.

MT-23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your

servant.

MT-23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and

he that shall

humble himself shall be exalted.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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!

MT-23:17 [Ye] fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold,

or the

temple that sanctifieth the gold?

MT-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.

MT-23:19 [Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the

gift, or the

altar that sanctifieth the gift?

MT-23:20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by

it, and by all

things thereon.

MT-23:21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it,

and by him that

dwelleth therein.

MT-23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the

throne of God,

and by him that sitteth thereon.

MT-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.

MT-23:24 [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow

a camel.

MT-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.

MT-23:26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is]

within the cup

and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

MT-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.

MT-23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,

but within ye

are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

MT-23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

because ye build

the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the

righteous,

MT-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.

MT-23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are

the children

of them which killed the prophets.

MT-23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

MT-23:33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye

escape the

damnation of hell?

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come

upon this

generation.

MT-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!

MT-23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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?

MT-24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that

no man deceive

you.

MT-24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;

and shall

deceive many.

MT-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.

MT-24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom

against kingdom:

and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in

divers

places.

MT-24:8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.

MT-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.

MT-24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one

another, and

shall hate one another.

MT-24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive

many.

MT-24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many

shall wax cold.

MT-24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall

be saved.

MT-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.

MT-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:)

MT-24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the

mountains:

MT-24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take

any thing out

of his house:

MT-24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to

take his

clothes.

MT-24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them

that give suck in

those days!

MT-24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,

neither on the

sabbath day:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is]

Christ, or there;

believe [it] not.

MT-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.

MT-24:25 Behold, I have told you before.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles

be gathered

together.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,

know that it is

near, [even] at the doors.

MT-24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass,

till all

these things be fulfilled.

MT-24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall

not pass away.

MT-24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the

angels of

heaven, but my Father only.

MT-24:37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the

coming of the Son

of man be.

MT-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,

MT-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.

MT-24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,

and the

other left.

MT-24:41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one

shall be taken,

and the other left.

MT-24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord

doth come.

MT-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.

MT-24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye

think not the

Son of man cometh.

MT-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?

MT-24:46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he

cometh shall find

so doing.

MT-24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler

over all his

goods.

MT-24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart,

My lord

delayeth his coming;

MT-24:49 And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to

eat and drink

with the drunken;

MT-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,

MT-24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his

portion with the

hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MT-25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten

virgins, which

took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

MT-25:2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.

MT-25:3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no

oil with them:

MT-25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

MT-25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and

slept.

MT-25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the

bridegroom cometh;

go ye out to meet him.

MT-25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

MT-25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil;

for our

lamps are gone out.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord,

Lord, open to

us.

MT-25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I

know you not.

MT-25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the

hour wherein

the Son of man cometh.

MT-25:14 For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man traveling into

a far

country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them

his goods.

MT-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.

MT-25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and

traded with the

same, and made [them] other five talents.

MT-25:17 And likewise he that [had received] two, he also

gained other two.

MT-25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the

earth, and hid

his lord's money.

MT-25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh,

and reckoneth

with them.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the

earth: lo,

[there] thou hast [that is] thine.

MT-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:

MT-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.

MT-25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto

him which

hath ten talents.

MT-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.

MT-25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer

darkness: there

shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MT-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:

MT-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:

MT-25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the

goats on the

left.

MT-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:

MT-25:35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was

thirsty, and ye

gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

MT-25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited

me: I was in

prison, and ye came unto me.

MT-25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,

when saw we thee

an hungered, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink?

MT-25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or

naked, and

clothed [thee]?

MT-25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto

thee?

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-25:42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was

thirsty, and ye

gave me no drink:

MT-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.

MT-25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when

saw we thee an

hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in

prison, and did

not minister unto thee?

MT-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.

MT-25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:

but the

righteous into life eternal.

MT-26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these

sayings, he

said unto his disciples,

MT-26:2 Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the

passover, and the

Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

MT-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,

MT-26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty,

and kill [him].

MT-26:5 But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an

uproar among

the people.

MT-26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon

the leper,

MT-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].

MT-26:8 But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation,

saying, To

what purpose [is] this waste?

MT-26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and

given to the

poor.

MT-26:10 When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why

trouble ye the

woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

MT-26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have

not always.

MT-26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body,

she did [it]

for my burial.

MT-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.

MT-26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went

unto the chief

priests,

MT-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.

MT-26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and

they made

ready the passover.

MT-26:20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the

twelve.

MT-26:21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you,

that one of you

shall betray me.

MT-26:22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one

of them to

say unto him, Lord, is it I?

MT-26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand

with me in the

dish, the same shall betray me.

MT-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.

MT-26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said,

Master, is it I?

He said unto him, Thou hast said.

MT-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.

MT-26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to

them, saying,

Drink ye all of it;

MT-26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is

shed for many

for the remission of sins.

MT-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.

MT-26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the

mount of

Olives.

MT-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.

MT-26:32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into

Galilee.

MT-26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all [men]

shall be offended

because of thee, [yet] will I never be offended.

MT-26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this

night, before

the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

MT-26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee,

yet will I not

deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

MT-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.

MT-26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,

and began to

be sorrowful and very heavy.

MT-26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding

sorrowful, even unto

death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

MT-26:39 And he went a little farther, 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].

MT-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?

MT-26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the

spirit indeed

[is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.

MT-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.

MT-26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their

eyes were heavy.

MT-26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the

third time,

saying the same words.

MT-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.

MT-26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth

betray me.

MT-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.

MT-26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,

Whomsoever I

shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

MT-26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master;

and kissed

him.

MT-26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou

come? Then came

they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and

he shall

presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

MT-26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that

thus it must

be?

MT-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.

MT-26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the

prophets might be

fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council,

sought false

witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

MT-26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came,

[yet] found

they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

MT-26:61 And said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the

temple of

God, and to build it in three days.

MT-26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him,

Answerest thou

nothing? what [is it which] these witness against thee?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of

death.

MT-26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and

others smote

[him] with the palms of their hands,

MT-26:68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that

smote thee?

MT-26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came

unto him,

saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

MT-26:70 But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not

what thou

sayest.

MT-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.

MT-26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the

man.

MT-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.

MT-26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying], I know

not the man.

And immediately the cock crew.

MT-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.

MT-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:

MT-27:2 And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and

delivered him

to Pontius Pilate the governor.

MT-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,

MT-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].

MT-27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple,

and departed,

and went and hanged himself.

MT-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.

MT-27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the

potter's field, to

bury strangers in.

MT-27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,

unto this day.

MT-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;

MT-27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord

appointed me.

MT-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.

MT-27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and

elders, he answered

nothing.

MT-27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many

things they

witness against thee?

MT-27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the

governor

marvelled greatly.

MT-27:15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release

unto the people

a prisoner, whom they would.

MT-27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

MT-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?

MT-27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

MT-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.

MT-27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the

multitude that they

should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

MT-27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of

the twain will

ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

MT-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.

MT-27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done?

But they cried

out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

MT-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].

MT-27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be]

on us, and on

our children.

MT-27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had

scourged Jesus,

he delivered [him] to be crucified.

MT-27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the

common hall,

and gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers].

MT-27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

MT-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!

MT-27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote

him on the

head.

MT-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].

MT-27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,

Simon by name: him

they compelled to bear his cross.

MT-27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha,

that is to

say, a place of a skull,

MT-27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and

when he had

tasted [thereof], he would not drink.

MT-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.

MT-27:36 And sitting down they watched him there;

MT-27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS

IS JESUS THE

KING OF THE JEWS.

MT-27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on

the right

hand, and another on the left.

MT-27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their

heads,

MT-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.

MT-27:41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with

the scribes and

elders, said,

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast

the same in

his teeth.

MT-27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all

the land unto

the ninth hour.

MT-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?

MT-27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that],

said, This

[man] calleth for Elias.

MT-27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge,

and filled [it]

with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink.

MT-27:49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will

come to save

him.

MT-27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice,

yielded up the

ghost.

MT-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;

MT-27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the

saints which

slept arose,

MT-27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and

went into the

holy city, and appeared unto many.

MT-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.

MT-27:55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which

followed Jesus

from Galilee, ministering unto him:

MT-27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of

James and

Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

MT-27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of

Arimathaea, named

Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

MT-27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then

Pilate

commanded the body to be delivered.

MT-27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a

clean linen

cloth,

MT-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.

MT-27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary,

sitting over

against the sepulchre.

MT-27:62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the

preparation, the

chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

MT-27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said,

while he was yet

alive, After three days I will rise again.

MT-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.

MT-27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way,

make [it] as

sure as ye can.

MT-27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the

stone, and

setting a watch.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment

white as snow:

MT-28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became

as dead [men].

MT-28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear

not ye: for I

know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

MT-28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see

the place

where the Lord lay.

MT-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.

MT-28:8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear

and great joy;

and did run to bring his disciples word.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had

taken counsel,

they gave large money unto the soldiers,

MT-28:13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole

him [away]

while we slept.

MT-28:14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will

persuade him, and

secure you.

MT-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.

MT-28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into

a mountain

where Jesus had appointed them.

MT-28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some

doubted.

MT-28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power

is given unto

me in heaven and in earth.

MT-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:

MT-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.
