11 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God .

12 As it is written in the prophets Behold I send my messenger

before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee .

13 The voice of one crying in the wilderness Prepare ye the way

of the Lord make his paths straight .

14 John did baptize in the wilderness and preach the baptism of

repentance for the remission of sins .

15 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea and they

of Jerusalem and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan

confessing their sins .

16 And John was clothed with camel's hair and with a girdle of

a skin about his loins and he did eat locusts and wild honey .

17 And preached saying There cometh one mightier than I after

me the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and

unloose .

18 I indeed have baptized you with water but he shall baptize

you with the Holy Ghost .

19 And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from

Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized of John in Jordan .

110 And straightway coming up out of the water he saw the

heavens opened and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him .

111 And there came a voice from heaven saying Thou art my

beloved Son in whom I am well pleased .

112 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness .

113 And he was there in the wilderness forty days tempted of

Satan and was with the wild beasts and the angels ministered

unto him .

114 Now after that John was put in prison Jesus came into

Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God .

115 And saying The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is

at hand repent ye and believe the gospel .

116 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and

Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea for they were

fishers .

117 And Jesus said unto them Come ye after me and I will make

you to become fishers of men .

118 And straightway they forsook their nets and followed him .

119 And when he had gone a little farther thence he saw James

the son of Zebedee and John his brother who also were in the

ship mending their nets .

120 And straightway he called them and they left their father

Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants and went after him .

121 And they went into Capernaum and straightway on the sabbath

day he entered into the synagogue and taught .

122 And they were astonished at his doctrine for he taught them

as one that had authority and not as the scribes .

123 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean

spirit and he cried out .

124 Saying Let us alone what have we to do with thee thou Jesus

of Nazareth art thou come to destroy us I know thee who thou art

the Holy One of God .

125 And Jesus rebuked him saying Hold thy peace and come out of

him .

126 And when the unclean spirit had torn him and cried with a

loud voice he came out of him .

127 And they were all amazed insomuch that they questioned

among themselves saying What thing is this what new doctrine is

this for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits

and they do obey him .

128 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the

region round about Galilee .

129 And forthwith when they were come out of the synagogue they

entered into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John .

130 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever and anon they

tell him of her .

131 And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up and

immediately the fever left her and she ministered unto them .

132 And at even when the sun did set they brought unto him all

that were diseased and them that were possessed with devils .

133 And all the city was gathered together at the door .

134 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases and

cast out many devils and suffered not the devils to speak

because they knew him .

135 And in the morning rising up a great while before day he

went out and departed into a solitary place and there prayed .

136 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him .

137 And when they had found him they said unto him All men seek

for thee .

138 And he said unto them Let us go into the next towns that I

may preach there also for therefore came I forth .

139 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee

and cast out devils .

140 And there came a leper to him beseeching him and kneeling

down to him and saying unto him If thou wilt thou canst make me

clean .

141 And Jesus moved with compassion put forth his hand and

touched him and saith unto him I will be thou clean .

142 And as soon as he had spoken immediately the leprosy

departed from him and he was cleansed .

143 And he straitly charged him and forthwith sent him away .

144 And saith unto him See thou say nothing to any man but go

thy way shew thyself to the priest and offer for thy cleansing

those things which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them .

145 But he went out and began to publish it much and to blaze

abroad the matter insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter

into the city but was without in desert places and they came to

him from every quarter .

* 21 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days and it

was noised that he was in the house .

22 And straightway many were gathered together insomuch that

there was no room to receive them no not so much as about the

door and he preached the word unto them .

23 And they come unto him bringing one sick of the palsy which

was borne of four .

24 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press

they uncovered the roof where he was and when they had broken it

up they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay .

25 When Jesus saw their faith he said unto the sick of the

palsy Son thy sins be forgiven thee .

26 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there and

reasoning in their hearts .

27 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies who can forgive

sins but God only .

28 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they

so reasoned within themselves he said unto them Why reason ye

these things in your hearts .

29 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy Thy

sins be forgiven thee or to say Arise and take up thy bed and

walk .

210 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on

earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy .

211 I say unto thee Arise and take up thy bed and go thy way

into thine house .

212 And immediately he arose took up the bed and went forth

before them all insomuch that they were all amazed and glorified

God saying We never saw it on this fashion .

213 And he went forth again by the sea side and all the

multitude resorted unto him and he taught them .

214 And as he passed by he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting

at the receipt of custom and said unto him Follow me And he

arose and followed him .

215 And it came to pass that as Jesus sat at meat in his house

many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his

disciples for there were many and they followed him .

216 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with

publicans and sinners they said unto his disciples How is it

that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners .

217 When Jesus heard it he saith unto them They that are whole

have no need of the physician but they that are sick I came not

to call the righteous but sinners to repentance .

218 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast

and they come and say unto him Why do the disciples of John and

of the Pharisees fast but thy disciples fast not .

219 And Jesus said unto them Can the children of the

bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them as long as

they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast .

220 But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken

away from them and then shall they fast in those days .

221 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment

else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old

and the rent is made worse .

222 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles else the new

wine doth burst the bottles and the wine is spilled and the

bottles will be marred but new wine must be put into new bottles

223 And it came to pass that he went through the corn fields on

the sabbath day and his disciples began as they went to pluck

the ears of corn .

224 And the Pharisees said unto him Behold why do they on the

sabbath day that which is not lawful .

225 And he said unto them Have ye never read what David did

when he had need and was an hungred he and they that were with

him .

226 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar

the high priest and did eat the shewbread which is not lawful to

eat but for the priests and gave also to them which were with

him .

227 And he said unto them The sabbath was made for man and not

man for the sabbath .

228 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath .

* 31 And he entered again into the synagogue and there was a

man there which had a withered hand .

32 And they watched him whether he would heal him on the

sabbath day that they might accuse him .

33 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand Stand

forth .

34 And he saith unto them Is it lawful to do good on the

sabbath days or to do evil to save life or to kill But they held

their peace .

35 And when he had looked round about on them with anger being

grieved for the hardness of their hearts he saith unto the man

Stretch forth thine hand And he stretched it out and his hand

was restored whole as the other .

36 And the Pharisees went forth and straightway took counsel

with the Herodians against him how they might destroy him .

37 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea and

a great multitude from Galilee followed him and from Judaea .

38 And from Jerusalem and from Idumaea and from beyond Jordan

and they about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude when they had

heard what great things he did came unto him .

39 And he spake to his disciples that a small ship should wait

on him because of the multitude lest they should throng him .

310 For he had healed many insomuch that they pressed upon him

for to touch him as many as had plagues .

311 And unclean spirits when they saw him fell down before him

and cried saying Thou art the Son of God .

312 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him

known .

313 And he goeth up into a mountain and calleth unto him whom

he would and they came unto him .

314 And he ordained twelve that they should be with him and

that he might send them forth to preach .

315 And to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out devils

316 And Simon he surnamed Peter .

317 And James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James

and he surnamed them Boanerges which is The sons of thunder .

318 And Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and

Thomas and James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus and Simon the

Canaanite .

319 And Judas Iscariot which also betrayed him and they went

into an house .

320 And the multitude cometh together again so that they could

not so much as eat bread .

321 And when his friends heard of it they went out to lay hold

on him for they said He is beside himself .

322 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said He hath

Beelzebub and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils .

323 And he called them unto him and said unto them in parables

How can Satan cast out Satan .

324 And if a kingdom be divided against itself that kingdom

cannot stand .

325 And if a house be divided against itself that house cannot

stand .

326 And if Satan rise up against himself and be divided he

cannot stand but hath an end .

327 No man can enter into a strong man's house and spoil his

goods except he will first bind the strong man and then he will

spoil his house .

328 Verily I say unto you All sins shall be forgiven unto the

sons of men and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall

blaspheme .

329 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath

never forgiveness but is in danger of eternal damnation .

330 Because they said He hath an unclean spirit .

331 There came then his brethren and his mother and standing

without sent unto him calling him .

332 And the multitude sat about him and they said unto him

Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee .

333 And he answered them saying Who is my mother or my brethren

334 And he looked round about on them which sat about him and

said Behold my mother and my brethren .

335 For whosoever shall do the will of God the same is my

brother and my sister and mother .

* 41 And he began again to teach by the sea side and there was

gathered unto him a great multitude so that he entered into a

ship and sat in the sea and the whole multitude was by the sea

on the land .

42 And he taught them many things by parables and said unto

them in his doctrine .

43 Hearken Behold there went out a sower to sow .

44 And it came to pass as he sowed some fell by the way side

and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up .

45 And some fell on stony ground where it had not much earth

and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth .

46 But when the sun was up it was scorched and because it had

no root it withered away .

47 And some fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked

it and it yielded no fruit .

48 And other fell on good ground and did yield fruit that

sprang up and increased and brought forth some thirty and some

sixty and some an hundred .

49 And he said unto them He that hath ears to hear let him hear

410 And when he was alone they that were about him with the

twelve asked of him the parable .

411 And he said unto them Unto you it is given to know the

mystery of the kingdom of God but unto them that are without all

these things are done in parables .

412 That seeing they may see and not perceive and hearing they

may hear and not understand lest at any time they should be

converted and their sins should be forgiven them .

413 And he said unto them Know ye not this parable and how then

will ye know all parables .

414 The sower soweth the word .

415 And these are they by the way side where the word is sown

but when they have heard Satan cometh immediately and taketh

away the word that was sown in their hearts .

416 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground

who when they have heard the word immediately receive it with

gladness .

417 And have no root in themselves and so endure but for a time

afterward when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's

sake immediately they are offended .

418 And these are they which are sown among thorns such as hear

the word .

419 And the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches

and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word and it

becometh unfruitful .

420 And these are they which are sown on good ground such as

hear the word and receive it and bring forth fruit some

thirtyfold some sixty and some an hundred .

421 And he said unto them Is a candle brought to be put under a

bushel or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick .

422 For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested

neither was any thing kept secret but that it should come abroad

423 If any man have ears to hear let him hear .

424 And he said unto them Take heed what ye hear with what

measure ye mete it shall be measured to you and unto you that

hear shall more be given .

425 For he that hath to him shall be given and he that hath not

from him shall be taken even that which he hath .

426 And he said So is the kingdom of God as if a man should

cast seed into the ground .

427 And should sleep and rise night and day and the seed should

spring and grow up he knoweth not how .

428 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself first the

blade then the ear after that the full corn in the ear .

429 But when the fruit is brought forth immediately he putteth

in the sickle because the harvest is come .

430 And he said Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God or

with what comparison shall we compare it .

431 It is like a grain of mustard seed which when it is sown in

the earth is less than all the seeds that be in the earth .

432 But when it is sown it groweth up and becometh greater than

all herbs and shooteth out great branches so that the fowls of

the air may lodge under the shadow of it .

433 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them as

they were able to hear it .

434 But without a parable spake he not unto them and when they

were alone he expounded all things to his disciples .

435 And the same day when the even was come he saith unto them

Let us pass over unto the other side .

436 And when they had sent away the multitude they took him

even as he was in the ship And there were also with him other

little ships .

437 And there arose a great storm of wind and the waves beat

into the ship so that it was now full .

438 And he was in the hinder part of the ship asleep on a

pillow and they awake him and say unto him Master carest thou

not that we perish .

439 And he arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea

Peace be still And the wind ceased and there was a great calm .

440 And he said unto them Why are ye so fearful how is it that

ye have no faith .

441 And they feared exceedingly and said one to another What

manner of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey him .

* 51 And they came over unto the other side of the sea into the

country of the Gadarenes .

52 And when he was come out of the ship immediately there met

him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit .

53 Who had his dwelling among the tombs and no man could bind

him no not with chains .

54 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains

and the chains had been plucked asunder by him and the fetters

broken in pieces neither could any man tame him .

55 And always night and day he was in the mountains and in the

tombs crying and cutting himself with stones .

56 But when he saw Jesus afar off he ran and worshipped him .

57 And cried with a loud voice and said What have I to do with

thee Jesus thou Son of the most high God I adjure thee by God

that thou torment me not .

58 For he said unto him Come out of the man thou unclean spirit

59 And he asked him What is thy name And he answered saying My

name is Legion for we are many .

510 And he besought him much that he would not send them away

out of the country .

511 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of

swine feeding .

512 And all the devils besought him saying Send us into the

swine that we may enter into them .

513 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave And the unclean spirits

went out and entered into the swine and the herd ran violently

down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand

and were choked in the sea .

514 And they that fed the swine fled and told it in the city

and in the country And they went out to see what it was that was

done .

515 And they come to Jesus and see him that was possessed with

the devil and had the legion sitting and clothed and in his

right mind and they were afraid .

516 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that

was possessed with the devil and also concerning the swine .

517 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts .

518 And when he was come into the ship he that had been

possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him .

519 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not but saith unto him Go home

to thy friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath done

for thee and hath had compassion on thee .

520 And he departed and began to publish in Decapolis how great

things Jesus had done for him and all men did marvel .

521 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other

side much people gathered unto him and he was nigh unto the sea .

522 And behold there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue

Jairus by name and when he saw him he fell at his feet .

523 And besought him greatly saying My little daughter lieth at

the point of death I pray thee come and lay thy hands on her

that she may be healed and she shall live .

524 And Jesus went with him and much people followed him and

thronged him .

525 And a certain woman which had an issue of blood twelve

years .

526 And had suffered many things of many physicians and had

spent all that she had and was nothing bettered but rather grew

worse .

527 When she had heard of Jesus came in the press behind and

touched his garment .

528 For she said If I may touch but his clothes I shall be

whole .

529 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up and

she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague .

530 And Jesus immediately knowing in himself that virtue had

gone out of him turned him about in the press and said Who

touched my clothes .

531 And his disciples said unto him Thou seest the multitude

thronging thee and sayest thou Who touched me .

532 And he looked round about to see her that had done this

thing .

533 But the woman fearing and trembling knowing what was done

in her came and fell down before him and told him all the truth .

534 And he said unto her Daughter thy faith hath made thee

whole go in peace and be whole of thy plague .

535 While he yet spake there came from the ruler of the

synagogue's house certain which said Thy daughter is dead why

troublest thou the Master any further .

536 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken he saith

unto the ruler of the synagogue Be not afraid only believe .

537 And he suffered no man to follow him save Peter and James

and John the brother of James .

538 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue

and seeth the tumult and them that wept and wailed greatly .

539 And when he was come in he saith unto them Why make ye this

ado and weep the damsel is not dead but sleepeth .

540 And they laughed him to scorn But when he had put them all

out he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel and them

that were with him and entereth in where the damsel was lying .

541 And he took the damsel by the hand and said unto her

Talitha cumi which is being interpreted Damsel I say unto thee

arise .

542 And straightway the damsel arose and walked for she was of

the age of twelve years And they were astonished with a great

astonishment .

543 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it and

commanded that something should be given her to eat .

* 61 And he went out from thence and came into his own country

and his disciples follow him .

62 And when the sabbath day was come he began to teach in the

synagogue and many hearing him were astonished saying From

whence hath this man these things and what wisdom is this which

is given unto him that even such mighty works are wrought by his

hands .

63 Is not this the carpenter the son of Mary the brother of

James and Joses and of Juda and Simon and are not his sisters

here with us And they were offended at him .

64 But Jesus said unto them A prophet is not without honour but

in his own country and among his own kin and in his own house .

65 And he could there do no mighty work save that he laid his

hands upon a few sick folk and healed them .

66 And he marvelled because of their unbelief And he went round

about the villages teaching .

67 And he called unto him the twelve and began to send them

forth by two and two and gave them power over unclean spirits .

68 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their

journey save a staff only no scrip no bread no money in their

purse .

69 But be shod with sandals and not put on two coats .

610 And he said unto them In what place soever ye enter into an

house there abide till ye depart from that place .

611 And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you when ye

depart thence shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony

against them Verily I say unto you It shall be more tolerable

for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment than for that city

612 And they went out and preached that men should repent .

613 And they cast out many devils and anointed with oil many

that were sick and healed them .

614 And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad

and he said That John the Baptist was risen from the dead and

therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him .

615 Others said That it is Elias And others said That it is a

prophet or as one of the prophets .

616 But when Herod heard thereof he said It is John whom I

beheaded he is risen from the dead .

617 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John

and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake his brother Philip's

wife for he had married her .

618 For John had said unto Herod It is not lawful for thee to

have thy brother's wife .

619 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him and would have

killed him but she could not .

620 For Herod feared John knowing that he was a just man and an

holy and observed him and when he heard him he did many things

and heard him gladly .

621 And when a convenient day was come that Herod on his

birthday made a supper to his lords high captains and chief

estates of Galilee .

622 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in and

danced and pleased Herod and them that sat with him the king

said unto the damsel Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will

give it thee .

623 And he sware unto her Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me I

will give it thee unto the half of my kingdom .

624 And she went forth and said unto her mother What shall I

ask And she said The head of John the Baptist .

625 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king and

asked saying I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the

head of John the Baptist .

626 And the king was exceeding sorry yet for his oath's sake

and for their sakes which sat with him he would not reject her .

627 And immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded

his head to be brought and he went and beheaded him in the

prison .

628 And brought his head in a charger and gave it to the damsel

and the damsel gave it to her mother .

629 And when his disciples heard of it they came and took up

his corpse and laid it in a tomb .

630 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus

and told him all things both what they had done and what they

had taught .

631 And he said unto them Come ye yourselves apart into a

desert place and rest a while for there were many coming and

going and they had no leisure so much as to eat .

632 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately .

633 And the people saw them departing and many knew him and ran

afoot thither out of all cities and outwent them and came

together unto him .

634 And Jesus when he came out saw much people and was moved

with compassion toward them because they were as sheep not

having a shepherd and he began to teach them many things .

635 And when the day was now far spent his disciples came unto

him and said This is a desert place and now the time is far

passed .

636 Send them away that they may go into the country round

about and into the villages and buy themselves bread for they

have nothing to eat .

637 He answered and said unto them Give ye them to eat And they

say unto him Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread

and give them to eat .

638 He saith unto them How many loaves have ye go and see And

when they knew they say Five and two fishes .

639 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies

upon the green grass .

640 And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties .

641 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes he

looked up to heaven and blessed and brake the loaves and gave

them to his disciples to set before them and the two fishes

divided he among them all .

642 And they did all eat and were filled .

643 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and

of the fishes .

644 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five

thousand men .

645 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into

the ship and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida while

he sent away the people .

646 And when he had sent them away he departed into a mountain

to pray .

647 And when even was come the ship was in the midst of the sea

and he alone on the land .

648 And he saw them toiling in rowing for the wind was contrary

unto them and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto

them walking upon the sea and would have passed by them .

649 But when they saw him walking upon the sea they supposed it

had been a spirit and cried out .

650 For they all saw him and were troubled And immediately he

talked with them and saith unto them Be of good cheer it is I be

not afraid .

651 And he went up unto them into the ship and the wind ceased

and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure and

wondered .

652 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves for their

heart was hardened .

653 And when they had passed over they came into the land of

Gennesaret and drew to the shore .

654 And when they were come out of the ship straightway they

knew him .

655 And ran through that whole region round about and began to

carry about in beds those that were sick where they heard he was

656 And whithersoever he entered into villages or cities or

country they laid the sick in the streets and besought him that

they might touch if it were but the border of his garment and as

many as touched him were made whole .

* 71 Then came together unto him the Pharisees and certain of

the scribes which came from Jerusalem .

72 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with

defiled that is to say with unwashen hands they found fault .

73 For the Pharisees and all the Jews except they wash their

hands oft eat not holding the tradition of the elders .

74 And when they come from the market except they wash they eat

not And many other things there be which they have received to

hold as the washing of cups and pots brasen vessels and of

tables .

75 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him Why walk not thy

disciples according to the tradition of the elders but eat bread

with unwashen hands .

76 He answered and said unto them Well hath Esaias prophesied

of you hypocrites as it is written This people honoureth me with

their lips but their heart is far from me .

77 Howbeit in vain do they worship me teaching for doctrines

the commandments of men .

78 For laying aside the commandment of God ye hold the

tradition of men as the washing of pots and cups and many other

such like things ye do .

79 And he said unto them Full well ye reject the commandment of

God that ye may keep your own tradition .

710 For Moses said Honour thy father and thy mother and Whoso

curseth father or mother let him die the death .

711 But ye say If a man shall say to his father or mother It is

Corban that is to say a gift by whatsoever thou mightest be

profited by me he shall be free .

712 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his

mother .

713 Making the word of God of none effect through your

tradition which ye have delivered and many such like things do

ye .

714 And when he had called all the people unto him he said unto

them Hearken unto me every one of you and understand .

715 There is nothing from without a man that entering into him

can defile him but the things which come out of him those are

they that defile the man .

716 If any man have ears to hear let him hear .

717 And when he was entered into the house from the people his

disciples asked him concerning the parable .

718 And he saith unto them Are ye so without understanding also

Do ye not perceive that whatsoever thing from without entereth

into the man it cannot defile him .

719 Because it entereth not into his heart but into the belly

and goeth out into the draught purging all meats .

720 And he said That which cometh out of the man that defileth

the man .

721 For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil

thoughts adulteries fornications murders .

722 Thefts covetousness wickedness deceit lasciviousness an

evil eye blasphemy pride foolishness .

723 All these evil things come from within and defile the man .

724 And from thence he arose and went into the borders of Tyre

and Sidon and entered into an house and would have no man know

it but he could not be hid .

725 For a certain woman whose young daughter had an unclean

spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet .

726 The woman was a Greek a Syrophenician by nation and she

besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her

daughter .

727 But Jesus said unto her Let the children first be filled

for it is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it

unto the dogs .

728 And she answered and said unto him Yes Lord yet the dogs

under the table eat of the children's crumbs .

729 And he said unto her For this saying go thy way the devil

is gone out of thy daughter .

730 And when she was come to her house she found the devil gone

out and her daughter laid upon the bed .

731 And again departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon he

came unto the sea of Galilee through the midst of the coasts of

Decapolis .

732 And they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an

impediment in his speech and they beseech him to put his hand

upon him .

733 And he took him aside from the multitude and put his

fingers into his ears and he spit and touched his tongue .

734 And looking up to heaven he sighed and saith unto him

Ephphatha that is Be opened .

735 And straightway his ears were opened and the string of his

tongue was loosed and he spake plain .

736 And he charged them that they should tell no man but the

more he charged them so much the more a great deal they

published it .

737 And were beyond measure astonished saying He hath done all

things well he maketh both the deaf to hear and the dumb to

speak .

* 81 In those days the multitude being very great and having

nothing to eat Jesus called his disciples unto him and saith

unto them .

82 I have compassion on the multitude because they have now

been with me three days and have nothing to eat .

83 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses they

will faint by the way for divers of them came from far .

84 And his disciples answered him From whence can a man satisfy

these men with bread here in the wilderness .

85 And he asked them How many loaves have ye And they said

Seven .

86 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground and he

took the seven loaves and gave thanks and brake and gave to his

disciples to set before them and they did set them before the

people .

87 And they had a few small fishes and he blessed and commanded

to set them also before them .

88 So they did eat and were filled and they took up of the

broken meat that was left seven baskets .

89 And they that had eaten were about four thousand and he sent

them away .

810 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples

and came into the parts of Dalmanutha .

811 And the Pharisees came forth and began to question with him

seeking of him a sign from heaven tempting him .

812 And he sighed deeply in his spirit and saith Why doth this

generation seek after a sign verily I say unto you There shall

no sign be given unto this generation .

813 And he left them and entering into the ship again departed

to the other side .

814 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread neither had

they in the ship with them more than one loaf .

815 And he charged them saying Take heed beware of the leaven

of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod .

816 And they reasoned among themselves saying It is because we

have no bread .

817 And when Jesus knew it he saith unto them Why reason ye

because ye have no bread perceive ye not yet neither understand

have ye your heart yet hardened .

818 Having eyes see ye not and having ears hear ye not and do

ye not remember .

819 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand how many

baskets full of fragments took ye up They say unto him Twelve .

820 And when the seven among four thousand how many baskets

full of fragments took ye up And they said Seven .

821 And he said unto them How is it that ye do not understand .

822 And he cometh to Bethsaida and they bring a blind man unto

him and besought him to touch him .

823 And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of

the town and when he had spit on his eyes and put his hands upon

him he asked him if he saw ought .

824 And he looked up and said I see men as trees walking .

825 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes and made

him look up and he was restored and saw every man clearly .

826 And he sent him away to his house saying Neither go into

the town nor tell it to any in the town .

827 And Jesus went out and his disciples into the towns of

Caesarea Philippi and by the way he asked his disciples saying

unto them Whom do men say that I am .

828 And they answered John the Baptist but some say Elias and

others One of the prophets .

829 And he saith unto them But whom say ye that I am And Peter

answereth and saith unto him Thou art the Christ .

830 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him .

831 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer

many things and be rejected of the elders and of the chief

priests and scribes and be killed and after three days rise

again .

832 And he spake that saying openly And Peter took him and

began to rebuke him .

833 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples he

rebuked Peter saying Get thee behind me Satan for thou savourest

not the things that be of God but the things that be of men .

834 And when he had called the people unto him with his

disciples also he said unto them Whosoever will come after me

let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me .

835 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it but

whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's the

same shall save it .

836 For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole

world and lose his own soul .

837 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul .

838 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words

in this adulterous and sinful generation of him also shall the

Son of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his Father

with the holy angels .

* 91 And he said unto them Verily I say unto you That there be

some of them that stand here which shall not taste of death till

they have seen the kingdom of God come with power .

92 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and

John and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by

themselves and he was transfigured before them .

93 And his raiment became shining exceeding white as snow so as

no fuller on earth can white them .

94 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses and they were

talking with Jesus .

95 And Peter answered and said to Jesus Master it is good for

us to be here and let us make three tabernacles one for thee and

one for Moses and one for Elias .

96 For he wist not what to say for they were sore afraid .

97 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them and a voice

came out of the cloud saying This is my beloved Son hear him .

98 And suddenly when they had looked round about they saw no

man any more save Jesus only with themselves .

99 And as they came down from the mountain he charged them that

they should tell no man what things they had seen till the Son

of man were risen from the dead .

910 And they kept that saying with themselves questioning one

with another what the rising from the dead should mean .

911 And they asked him saying Why say the scribes that Elias

must first come .

912 And he answered and told them Elias verily cometh first and

restoreth all things and how it is written of the Son of man

that he must suffer many things and be set at nought .

913 But I say unto you That Elias is indeed come and they have

done unto him whatsoever they listed as it is written of him .

914 And when he came to his disciples he saw a great multitude

about them and the scribes questioning with them .

915 And straightway all the people when they beheld him were

greatly amazed and running to him saluted him .

916 And he asked the scribes What question ye with them .

917 And one of the multitude answered and said Master I have

brought unto thee my son which hath a dumb spirit .

918 And wheresoever he taketh him he teareth him and he foameth

and gnasheth with his teeth and pineth away and I spake to thy

disciples that they should cast him out and they could not .

919 He answereth him and saith O faithless generation how long

shall I be with you how long shall I suffer you bring him unto

me .

920 And they brought him unto him and when he saw him

straightway the spirit tare him and he fell on the ground and

wallowed foaming .

921 And he asked his father How long is it ago since this came

unto him And he said Of a child .

922 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire and into the

waters to destroy him but if thou canst do any thing have

compassion on us and help us .

923 Jesus said unto him If thou canst believe all things are

possible to him that believeth .

924 And straightway the father of the child cried out and said

with tears Lord I believe help thou mine unbelief .

925 When Jesus saw that the people came running together he

rebuked the foul spirit saying unto him Thou dumb and deaf

spirit I charge thee come out of him and enter no more into him .

926 And the spirit cried and rent him sore and came out of him

and he was as one dead insomuch that many said He is dead .

927 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up and he

arose .

928 And when he was come into the house his disciples asked him

privately Why could not we cast him out .

929 And he said unto them This kind can come forth by nothing

but by prayer and fasting .

930 And they departed thence and passed through Galilee and he

would not that any man should know it .

931 For he taught his disciples and said unto them The Son of

man is delivered into the hands of men and they shall kill him

and after that he is killed he shall rise the third day .

932 But they understood not that saying and were afraid to ask

him .

933 And he came to Capernaum and being in the house he asked

them What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way .

934 But they held their peace for by the way they had disputed

among themselves who should be the greatest .

935 And he sat down and called the twelve and saith unto them

If any man desire to be first the same shall be last of all and

servant of all .

936 And he took a child and set him in the midst of them and

when he had taken him in his arms he said unto them .

937 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name

receiveth me and whosoever shall receive me receiveth not me but

him that sent me .

938 And John answered him saying Master we saw one casting out

devils in thy name and he followeth not us and we forbad him

because he followeth not us .

939 But Jesus said Forbid him not for there is no man which

shall do a miracle in my name that can lightly speak evil of me .

940 For he that is not against us is on our part .

941 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my

name because ye belong to Christ verily I say unto you he shall

not lose his reward .

942 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that

believe in me it is better for him that a millstone were hanged

about his neck and he were cast into the sea .

943 And if thy hand offend thee cut it off it is better for

thee to enter into life maimed than having two hands to go into

hell into the fire that never shall be quenched .

944 Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched .

945 And if thy foot offend thee cut it off it is better for

thee to enter halt into life than having two feet to be cast

into hell into the fire that never shall be quenched .

946 Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched .

947 And if thine eye offend thee pluck it out it is better for

thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than having

two eyes to be cast into hell fire .

948 Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched .

949 For every one shall be salted with fire and every sacrifice

shall be salted with salt .

950 Salt is good but if the salt have lost his saltness

wherewith will ye season it Have salt in yourselves and have

peace one with another .

* 101 And he arose from thence and cometh into the coasts of

Judaea by the farther side of Jordan and the people resort unto

him again and as he was wont he taught them again .

102 And the Pharisees came to him and asked him Is it lawful

for a man to put away his wife tempting him .

103 And he answered and said unto them What did Moses command

you .

104 And they said Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement

and to put her away .

105 And Jesus answered and said unto them For the hardness of

your heart he wrote you this precept .

106 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male

and female .

107 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and

cleave to his wife .

108 And they twain shall be one flesh so then they are no more

twain but one flesh .

109 What therefore God hath joined together let not man put

asunder .

1010 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same

matter .

1011 And he saith unto them Whosoever shall put away his wife

and marry another committeth adultery against her .

1012 And if a woman shall put away her husband and be married

to another she committeth adultery .

1013 And they brought young children to him that he should

touch them and his disciples rebuked those that brought them .

1014 But when Jesus saw it he was much displeased and said unto

them Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them

not for of such is the kingdom of God .

1015 Verily I say unto you Whosoever shall not receive the

kingdom of God as a little child he shall not enter therein .

1016 And he took them up in his arms put his hands upon them

and blessed them .

1017 And when he was gone forth into the way there came one

running and kneeled to him and asked him Good Master what shall

I do that I may inherit eternal life .

1018 And Jesus said unto him Why callest thou me good there is

none good but one that is God .

1019 Thou knowest the commandments Do not commit adultery Do

not kill Do not steal Do not bear false witness Defraud not

Honour thy father and mother .

1020 And he answered and said unto him Master all these have I

observed from my youth .

1021 Then Jesus beholding him loved him and said unto him One

thing thou lackest go thy way sell whatsoever thou hast and give

to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven and come take

up the cross and follow me .

1022 And he was sad at that saying and went away grieved for he

had great possessions .

1023 And Jesus looked round about and saith unto his disciples

How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of

God .

1024 And the disciples were astonished at his words But Jesus

answereth again and saith unto them Children how hard is it for

them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God .

1025 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 .

1026 And they were astonished out of measure saying among

themselves Who then can be saved .

1027 And Jesus looking upon them saith With men it is

impossible but not with God for with God all things are possible

1028 Then Peter began to say unto him Lo we have left all and

have followed thee .

1029 And Jesus answered and said Verily I say unto you There is

no man that hath left house or brethren or sisters or father or

mother or wife or children or lands for my sake and the gospel's

1030 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time

houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and

lands with persecutions and in the world to come eternal life .

1031 But many that are first shall be last and the last first .

1032 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem and Jesus

went before them and they were amazed and as they followed they

were afraid And he took again the twelve and began to tell them

what things should happen unto him .

1033 Saying Behold we go up to Jerusalem and the Son of man

shall be delivered unto the chief priests and unto the scribes

and they shall condemn him to death and shall deliver him to the

Gentiles .

1034 And they shall mock him and shall scourge him and shall

spit upon him and shall kill him and the third day he shall rise

again .

1035 And James and John the sons of Zebedee come unto him

saying Master we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever

we shall desire .

1036 And he said unto them What would ye that I should do for

you .

1037 They said unto him Grant unto us that we may sit one on

thy right hand and the other on thy left hand in thy glory .

1038 But Jesus said unto them Ye know not what ye ask can ye

drink of the cup that I drink of and be baptized with the

baptism that I am baptized with .

1039 And they said unto him We can And Jesus said unto them Ye

shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of and with the

baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized .

1040 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not

mine to give but it shall be given to them for whom it is

prepared .

1041 And when the ten heard it they began to be much displeased

with James and John .

1042 But Jesus called them to him and saith unto them Ye know

that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise

lordship over them and their great ones exercise authority upon

them .

1043 But so shall it not be among you but whosoever will be

great among you shall be your minister .

1044 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest shall be servant

of all .

1045 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto but

to minister and to give his life a ransom for many .

1046 And they came to Jericho and as he went out of Jericho

with his disciples and a great number of people blind Bartimaeus

the son of Timaeus sat by the highway side begging .

1047 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began

to cry out and say Jesus thou son of David have mercy on me .

1048 And many charged him that he should hold his peace but he

cried the more a great deal Thou son of David have mercy on me .

1049 And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called And

they call the blind man saying unto him Be of good comfort rise

he calleth thee .

1050 And he casting away his garment rose and came to Jesus .

1051 And Jesus answered and said unto him What wilt thou that I

should do unto thee The blind man said unto him Lord that I

might receive my sight .

1052 And Jesus said unto him Go thy way thy faith hath made

thee whole And immediately he received his sight and followed

Jesus in the way .

* 111 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem unto Bethphage and

Bethany at the mount of Olives he sendeth forth two of his

disciples .

112 And saith unto them Go your way into the village over

against you and as soon as ye be entered into it ye shall find a

colt tied whereon never man sat loose him and bring him .

113 And if any man say unto you Why do ye this say ye that the

Lord hath need of him and straightway he will send him hither .

114 And they went their way and found the colt tied by the door

without in a place where two ways met and they loose him .

115 And certain of them that stood there said unto them What do

ye loosing the colt .

116 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded and

they let them go .

117 And they brought the colt to Jesus and cast their garments

on him and he sat upon him .

118 And many spread their garments in the way and others cut

down branches off the trees and strawed them in the way .

119 And they that went before and they that followed cried

saying Hosanna Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord

1110 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh in

the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest .

1111 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into the temple and

when he had looked round about upon all things and now the

eventide was come he went out unto Bethany with the twelve .

1112 And on the morrow when they were come from Bethany he was

hungry .

1113 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves he came if

haply he might find any thing thereon and when he came to it he

found nothing but leaves for the time of figs was not yet .

1114 And Jesus answered and said unto it No man eat fruit of

thee hereafter for ever And his disciples heard it .

1115 And they come to Jerusalem and Jesus went into the temple

and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple

and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of

them that sold doves .

1116 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel

through the temple .

1117 And he taught saying unto them Is it not written My house

shall be called of all nations the house of prayer but ye have

made it a den of thieves .

1118 And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how

they might destroy him for they feared him because all the

people was astonished at his doctrine .

1119 And when even was come he went out of the city .

1120 And in the morning as they passed by they saw the fig tree

dried up from the roots .

1121 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him Master

behold the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away .

1122 And Jesus answering saith unto them Have faith in God .

1123 For verily I say unto you That whosoever shall say unto

this mountain Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and

shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things

which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he

saith .

1124 Therefore I say unto you What things soever ye desire when

ye pray believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them .

1125 And when ye stand praying forgive if ye have ought against

any that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you

your trespasses .

1126 But if ye do not forgive neither will your Father which is

in heaven forgive your trespasses .

1127 And they come again to Jerusalem and as he was walking in

the temple there come to him the chief priests and the scribes

and the elders .

1128 And say unto him By what authority doest thou these things

and who gave thee this authority to do these things .

1129 And Jesus answered and said unto them I will also ask of

you one question and answer me and I will tell you by what

authority I do these things .

1130 The baptism of John was it from heaven or of men answer me

1131 And they reasoned with themselves saying If we shall say

From heaven he will say Why then did ye not believe him .

1132 But if we shall say Of men they feared the people for all

men counted John that he was a prophet indeed .

1133 And they answered and said unto Jesus We cannot tell And

Jesus answering saith unto them Neither do I tell you by what

authority I do these things .

* 121 And he began to speak unto them by parables A certain man

planted a vineyard and set an hedge about it and digged a place

for the winefat and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen

and went into a far country .

122 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant that

he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the

vineyard .

123 And they caught him and beat him and sent him away empty .

124 And again he sent unto them another servant and at him they

cast stones and wounded him in the head and sent him away

shamefully handled .

125 And again he sent another and him they killed and many

others beating some and killing some .

126 Having yet therefore one son his wellbeloved he sent him

also last unto them saying They will reverence my son .

127 But those husbandmen said among themselves This is the heir

come let us kill him and the inheritance shall be ours .

128 And they took him and killed him and cast him out of the

vineyard .

129 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do he will

come and destroy the husbandmen and will give the vineyard unto

others .

1210 And have ye not read this scripture The stone which the

builders rejected is become the head of the corner .

1211 This was the Lord's doing and it is marvellous in our eyes

1212 And they sought to lay hold on him but feared the people

for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them and

they left him and went their way .

1213 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the

Herodians to catch him in his words .

1214 And when they were come they say unto him Master we know

that thou art true and carest for no man for thou regardest not

the person of men but teachest the way of God in truth Is it

lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not .

1215 Shall we give or shall we not give But he knowing their

hypocrisy said unto them Why tempt ye me bring me a penny that I

may see it .

1216 And they brought it And he saith unto them Whose is this

image and superscription And they said unto him Caesar's .

1217 And Jesus answering said unto them Render to Caesar the

things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's

And they marvelled at him .

1218 Then come unto him the Sadducees which say there is no

resurrection and they asked him saying .

1219 Master Moses wrote unto us If a man's brother die and

leave his wife behind him and leave no children that his brother

should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother .

1220 Now there were seven brethren and the first took a wife

and dying left no seed .

1221 And the second took her and died neither left he any seed

and the third likewise .

1222 And the seven had her and left no seed last of all the

woman died also .

1223 In the resurrection therefore when they shall rise whose

wife shall she be of them for the seven had her to wife .

1224 And Jesus answering said unto them Do ye not therefore err

because ye know not the scriptures neither the power of God .

1225 For when they shall rise from the dead they neither marry

nor are given in marriage but are as the angels which are in

heaven .

1226 And as touching the dead that they rise have ye not read

in the book of Moses how in the bush God spake unto him saying I

am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob .

1227 He is not the God of the dead but the God of the living ye

therefore do greatly err .

1228 And one of the scribes came and having heard them

reasoning together and perceiving that he had answered them well

asked him Which is the first commandment of all .

1229 And Jesus answered him The first of all the commandments

is Hear O Israel The Lord our God is one Lord .

1230 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart

and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy

strength this is the first commandment .

1231 And the second is like namely this Thou shalt love thy

neighbour as thyself There is none other commandment greater

than these .

1232 And the scribe said unto him Well Master thou hast said

the truth for there is one God and there is none other but he .

1233 And to love him with all the heart and with all the

understanding and with all the soul and with all the strength

and to love his neighbour as himself is more than all whole

burnt offerings and sacrifices .

1234 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly he said

unto him Thou art not far from the kingdom of God And no man

after that durst ask him any question .

1235 And Jesus answered and said while he taught in the temple

How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David .

1236 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost The LORD said to

my Lord Sit thou on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy

footstool .

1237 David therefore himself calleth him Lord and whence is he

then his son And the common people heard him gladly .

1238 And he said unto them in his doctrine Beware of the

scribes which love to go in long clothing and love salutations

in the marketplaces .

1239 And the chief seats in the synagogues and the uppermost

rooms at feasts .

1240 Which devour widows' houses and for a pretence make long

prayers these shall receive greater damnation .

1241 And Jesus sat over against the treasury and beheld how the

people cast money into the treasury and many that were rich cast

in much .

1242 And there came a certain poor widow and she threw in two

mites which make a farthing .

1243 And he called unto him his disciples and saith unto them

Verily I say unto you That this poor widow hath cast more in

than all they which have cast into the treasury .

1244 For all they did cast in of their abundance but she of her

want did cast in all that she had even all her living .

* 131 And as he went out of the temple one of his disciples

saith unto him Master see what manner of stones and what

buildings are here .

132 And Jesus answering said unto him Seest thou these great

buildings there shall not be left one stone upon another that

shall not be thrown down .

133 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the

temple Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately .

134 Tell us when shall these things be and what shall be the

sign when all these things shall be fulfilled .

135 And Jesus answering them began to say Take heed lest any

man deceive you .

136 For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall

deceive many .

137 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars be ye

not troubled for such things must needs be but the end shall not

be yet .

138 For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against

kingdom and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and

there shall be famines and troubles these are the beginnings of

sorrows .

139 But take heed to yourselves for they shall deliver you up

to councils and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten and ye

shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake for a

testimony against them .

1310 And the gospel must first be published among all nations .

1311 But when they shall lead you and deliver you up take no

thought beforehand what ye shall speak neither do ye premeditate

but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour that speak ye for

it is not ye that speak but the Holy Ghost .

1312 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death and the

father the son and children shall rise up against their parents

and shall cause them to be put to death .

1313 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake but he

that shall endure unto the end the same shall be saved .

1314 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken

of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not (let him

that readeth understand then let them that be in Judaea flee to

the mountains .

1315 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the

house neither enter therein to take any thing out of his house .

1316 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for

to take up his garment .

1317 But woe to them that are with child and to them that give

suck in those days .

1318 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter .

1319 For in those days shall be affliction such as was not from

the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time

neither shall be .

1320 And except that the Lord had shortened those days no flesh

should be saved but for the elect's sake whom he hath chosen he

hath shortened the days .

1321 And then if any man shall say to you Lo here is Christ or

lo he is there believe him not .

1322 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise and shall

shew signs and wonders to seduce if it were possible even the

elect .

1323 But take ye heed behold I have foretold you all things .

1324 But in those days after that tribulation the sun shall be

darkened and the moon shall not give her light .

1325 And the stars of heaven shall fall and the powers that are

in heaven shall be shaken .

1326 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the

clouds with great power and glory .

1327 And then shall he send his angels and shall gather

together his elect from the four winds from the uttermost part

of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven .

1328 Now learn a parable of the fig tree When her branch is yet

tender and putteth forth leaves ye know that summer is near .

1329 So ye in like manner when ye shall see these things come

to pass know that it is nigh even at the doors .

1330 Verily I say unto you that this generation shall not pass

till all these things be done .

1331 Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not

pass away .

1332 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man no not the

angels which are in heaven neither the Son but the Father .

1333 Take ye heed watch and pray for ye know not when the time

is .

1334 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey who

left his house and gave authority to his servants and to every

man his work and commanded the porter to watch .

1335 Watch ye therefore for ye know not when the master of the

house cometh at even or at midnight or at the cockcrowing or in

the morning .

1336 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping .

1337 And what I say unto you I say unto all Watch .

* 141 After two days was the feast of the passover and of

unleavened bread and the chief priests and the scribes sought

how they might take him by craft and put him to death .

142 But they said Not on the feast day lest there be an uproar

of the people .

143 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper as he

sat at meat there came a woman having an alabaster box of

ointment of spikenard very precious and she brake the box and

poured it on his head .

144 And there were some that had indignation within themselves

and said Why was this waste of the ointment made .

145 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred

pence and have been given to the poor And they murmured against

her .

146 And Jesus said Let her alone why trouble ye her she hath

wrought a good work on me .

147 For ye have the poor with you always and whensoever ye will

ye may do them good but me ye have not always .

148 She hath done what she could she is come aforehand to

anoint my body to the burying .

149 Verily I say unto you Wheresoever this gospel shall be

preached throughout the whole world this also that she hath done

shall be spoken of for a memorial of her .

1410 And Judas Iscariot one of the twelve went unto the chief

priests to betray him unto them .

1411 And when they heard it they were glad and promised to give

him money And he sought how he might conveniently betray him .

1412 And the first day of unleavened bread when they killed the

passover his disciples said unto him Where wilt thou that we go

and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover .

1413 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples and saith unto

them Go ye into the city and there shall meet you a man bearing

a pitcher of water follow him .

1414 And wheresoever he shall go in say ye to the goodman of

the house The Master saith Where is the guestchamber where I

shall eat the passover with my disciples .

1415 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and

prepared there make ready for us .

1416 And his disciples went forth and came into the city and

found as he had said unto them and they made ready the passover .

1417 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve .

1418 And as they sat and did eat Jesus said Verily I say unto

you One of you which eateth with me shall betray me .

1419 And they began to be sorrowful and to say unto him one by

one Is it I and another said Is it I .

1420 And he answered and said unto them It is one of the twelve

that dippeth with me in the dish .

1421 The Son of man indeed goeth as it is written of him but

woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed good were it

for that man if he had never been born .

1422 And as they did eat Jesus took bread and blessed and brake

it and gave to them and said Take eat this is my body .

1423 And he took the cup and when he had given thanks he gave

it to them and they all drank of it .

1424 And he said unto them This is my blood of the new

testament which is shed for many .

1425 Verily I say unto you I will drink no more of the fruit of

the vine until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of

God .

1426 And when they had sung an hymn they went out into the

mount of Olives .

1427 And Jesus saith unto them All ye shall be offended because

of me this night for it is written I will smite the shepherd and

the sheep shall be scattered .

1428 But after that I am risen I will go before you into

Galilee .

1429 But Peter said unto him Although all shall be offended yet

will not I .

1430 And Jesus saith unto him Verily I say unto thee That this

day even in this night before the cock crow twice thou shalt

deny me thrice .

1431 But he spake the more vehemently If I should die with thee

I will not deny thee in any wise Likewise also said they all .

1432 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane and he

saith to his disciples Sit ye here while I shall pray .

1433 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John and began

to be sore amazed and to be very heavy .

1434 And saith unto them My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto

death tarry ye here and watch .

1435 And he went forward a little and fell on the ground and

prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him .

1436 And he said Abba Father all things are possible unto thee

take away this cup from me nevertheless not what I will but what

thou wilt .

1437 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping and saith unto

Peter Simon sleepest thou couldest not thou watch one hour .

1438 Watch ye and pray lest ye enter into temptation The spirit

truly is ready but the flesh is weak .

1439 And again he went away and prayed and spake the same words

1440 And when he returned he found them asleep again (for their

eyes were heavy neither wist they what to answer him .

1441 And he cometh the third time and saith unto them Sleep on

now and take your rest it is enough the hour is come behold the

Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners .

1442 Rise up let us go lo he that betrayeth me is at hand .

1443 And immediately while he yet spake cometh Judas one of the

twelve and with him a great multitude with swords and staves

from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders .

1444 And he that betrayed him had given them a token saying

Whomsoever I shall kiss that same is he take him and lead him

away safely .

1445 And as soon as he was come he goeth straightway to him and

saith Master master and kissed him .

1446 And they laid their hands on him and took him .

1447 And one of them that stood by drew a sword and smote a

servant of the high priest and cut off his ear .

1448 And Jesus answered and said unto them Are ye come out as

against a thief with swords and with staves to take me .

1449 I was daily with you in the temple teaching and ye took me

not but the scriptures must be fulfilled .

1450 And they all forsook him and fled .

1451 And there followed him a certain young man having a linen

cloth cast about his naked body and the young men laid hold on

him .

1452 And he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked .

1453 And they led Jesus away to the high priest and with him

were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the

scribes .

1454 And Peter followed him afar off even into the palace of

the high priest and he sat with the servants and warmed himself

at the fire .

1455 And the chief priests and all the council sought for

witness against Jesus to put him to death and found none .

1456 For many bare false witness against him but their witness

agreed not together .

1457 And there arose certain and bare false witness against him

saying .

1458 We heard him say I will destroy this temple that is made

with hands and within three days I will build another made

without hands .

1459 But neither so did their witness agree together .

1460 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus

saying Answerest thou nothing what is it which these witness

against thee .

1461 But he held his peace and answered nothing Again the high

priest asked him and said unto him Art thou the Christ the Son

of the Blessed .

1462 And Jesus said I am and ye shall see the Son of man

sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of

heaven .

1463 Then the high priest rent his clothes and saith What need

we any further witnesses .

1464 Ye have heard the blasphemy what think ye And they all

condemned him to be guilty of death .

1465 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to

buffet him and to say unto him Prophesy and the servants did

strike him with the palms of their hands .

1466 And as Peter was beneath in the palace there cometh one of

the maids of the high priest .

1467 And when she saw Peter warming himself she looked upon him

and said And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth .

1468 But he denied saying I know not neither understand I what

thou sayest And he went out into the porch and the cock crew .

1469 And a maid saw him again and began to say to them that

stood by This is one of them .

1470 And he denied it again And a little after they that stood

by said again to Peter Surely thou art one of them for thou art

a Galilaean and thy speech agreeth thereto .

1471 But he began to curse and to swear saying I know not this

man of whom ye speak .

1472 And the second time the cock crew And Peter called to mind

the word that Jesus said unto him Before the cock crow twice

thou shalt deny me thrice And when he thought thereon he wept .

* 151 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a

consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council

and bound Jesus and carried him away and delivered him to Pilate

152 And Pilate asked him Art thou the King of the Jews And he

answering said unto him Thou sayest it .

153 And the chief priests accused him of many things but he

answered nothing .

154 And Pilate asked him again saying Answerest thou nothing

behold how many things they witness against thee .

155 But Jesus yet answered nothing so that Pilate marvelled .

156 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner

whomsoever they desired .

157 And there was one named Barabbas which lay bound with them

that had made insurrection with him who had committed murder in

the insurrection .

158 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as

he had ever done unto them .

159 But Pilate answered them saying Will ye that I release unto

you the King of the Jews .

1510 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for

envy .

1511 But the chief priests moved the people that he should

rather release Barabbas unto them .

1512 And Pilate answered and said again unto them What will ye

then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews .

1513 And they cried out again Crucify him .

1514 Then Pilate said unto them Why what evil hath he done And

they cried out the more exceedingly Crucify him .

1515 And so Pilate willing to content the people released

Barabbas unto them and delivered Jesus when he had scourged him

to be crucified .

1516 And the soldiers led him away into the hall called

Praetorium and they call together the whole band .

1517 And they clothed him with purple and platted a crown of

thorns and put it about his head .

1518 And began to salute him Hail King of the Jews .

1519 And they smote him on the head with a reed and did spit

upon him and bowing their knees worshipped him .

1520 And when they had mocked him they took off the purple from

him and put his own clothes on him and led him out to crucify

him .

1521 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by coming

out of the country the father of Alexander and Rufus to bear his

cross .

1522 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha which is being

interpreted The place of a skull .

1523 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh but he

received it not .

1524 And when they had crucified him they parted his garments

casting lots upon them what every man should take .

1525 And it was the third hour and they crucified him .

1526 And the superscription of his accusation was written over

THE KING OF THE JEWS .

1527 And with him they crucify two thieves the one on his right

hand and the other on his left .

1528 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith And he was

numbered with the transgressors .

1529 And they that passed by railed on him wagging their heads

and saying Ah thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in

three days .

1530 Save thyself and come down from the cross .

1531 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among

themselves with the scribes He saved others himself he cannot

save .

1532 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross

that we may see and believe And they that were crucified with

him reviled him .

1533 And when the sixth hour was come there was darkness over

the whole land until the ninth hour .

1534 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice saying

Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani which is being interpreted My God my

God why hast thou forsaken me .

1535 And some of them that stood by when they heard it said

Behold he calleth Elias .

1536 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar and put it

on a reed and gave him to drink saying Let alone let us see

whether Elias will come to take him down .

1537 And Jesus cried with a loud voice and gave up the ghost .

1538 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top

to the bottom .

1539 And when the centurion which stood over against him saw

that he so cried out and gave up the ghost he said Truly this

man was the Son of God .

1540 There were also women looking on afar off among whom was

Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of

Joses and Salome .

1541 (Who also when he was in Galilee followed him and

ministered unto him and many other women which came up with him

unto Jerusalem .

1542 And now when the even was come because it was the

preparation that is the day before the sabbath .

1543 Joseph of Arimathaea an honourable counsellor which also

waited for the kingdom of God came and went in boldly unto

Pilate and craved the body of Jesus .

1544 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead and calling

unto him the centurion he asked him whether he had been any

while dead .

1545 And when he knew it of the centurion he gave the body to

Joseph .

1546 And he bought fine linen and took him down and wrapped him

in the linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a

rock and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre .

1547 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld

where he was laid .

* 161 And when the sabbath was past Mary Magdalene and Mary the

mother of James and Salome had bought sweet spices that they

might come and anoint him .

162 And very early in the morning the first day of the week

they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun .

163 And they said among themselves Who shall roll us away the

stone from the door of the sepulchre .

164 And when they looked they saw that the stone was rolled

away for it was very great .

165 And entering into the sepulchre they saw a young man

sitting on the right side clothed in a long white garment and

they were affrighted .

166 And he saith unto them Be not affrighted Ye seek Jesus of

Nazareth which was crucified he is risen he is not here behold

the place where they laid him .

167 But go your way tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth

before you into Galilee there shall ye see him as he said unto

you .

168 And they went out quickly and fled from the sepulchre for

they trembled and were amazed neither said they any thing to any

man for they were afraid .

169 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week he

appeared first to Mary Magdalene out of whom he had cast seven

devils .

1610 And she went and told them that had been with him as they

mourned and wept .

1611 And they when they had heard that he was alive and had

been seen of her believed not .

1612 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them as

they walked and went into the country .

1613 And they went and told it unto the residue neither

believed they them .

1614 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat

and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart

because they believed not them which had seen him after he was

risen .

1615 And he said unto them Go ye into all the world and preach

the gospel to every creature .

1616 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he

that believeth not shall be damned .

1617 And these signs shall follow them that believe In my name

shall they cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues .

1618 They shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly

thing it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick

and they shall recover .

1619 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them he was

received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God .

1620 And they went forth and preached every where the Lord

working with them and confirming the word with signs following

Amen .
