11  Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a 
declaration of those things which are most surely believed among 
us .

12  Even as they delivered them unto us which from the beginning 
were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word .

13  It seemed good to me also having had perfect understanding 
of all things from the very first to write unto thee in order 
most excellent Theophilus .

14  That thou mightest know the certainty of those things 
wherein thou hast been instructed .

15  There was in the days of Herod the king of Judaea a certain 
priest named Zacharias of the course of Abia and his wife was of 
the daughters of Aaron and her name was Elisabeth .

16  And they were both righteous before God walking in all the 
commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless .

17  And they had no child because that Elisabeth was barren and 
they both were now well stricken in years .

18  And it came to pass that while he executed the priest's 
office before God in the order of his course .

19  According to the custom of the priest's office his lot was 
to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord .

110  And the whole multitude of the people were praying without 
at the time of incense .

111  And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing 
on the right side of the altar of incense .

112  And when Zacharias saw him he was troubled and fear fell 
upon him .

113  But the angel said unto him Fear not Zacharias for thy 
prayer is heard and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son and 
thou shalt call his name John .

114  And thou shalt have joy and gladness and many shall rejoice 
at his birth .

115  For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and shall 
drink neither wine nor strong drink and he shall be filled with 
the Holy Ghost even from his mother's womb .

116  And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the 
Lord their God .

117  And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias 
to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the 
disobedient to the wisdom of the just to make ready a people 
prepared for the Lord .

118  And Zacharias said unto the angel Whereby shall I know this 
for I am an old man and my wife well stricken in years .

119  And the angel answering said unto him I am Gabriel that 
stand in the presence of God and am sent to speak unto thee and 
to shew thee these glad tidings .

120  And behold thou shalt be dumb and not able to speak until 
the day that these things shall be performed because thou 
believest not my words which shall be fulfilled in their season .

121  And the people waited for Zacharias and marvelled that he 
tarried so long in the temple .

122  And when he came out he could not speak unto them and they 
perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple for he 
beckoned unto them and remained speechless .

123  And it came to pass that as soon as the days of his 
ministration were accomplished he departed to his own house .

124  And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived and hid 
herself five months saying .

125  Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he 
looked on me to take away my reproach among men .

126  And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God 
unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth .

127  To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph of the 
house of David and the virgin's name was Mary .

128  And the angel came in unto her and said Hail thou that art 
highly favoured the Lord is with thee blessed art thou among 
women .

129  And when she saw him she was troubled at his saying and 
cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be .

130  And the angel said unto her Fear not Mary for thou hast 
found favour with God .

131  And behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth 
a son and shalt call his name JESUS .

132  He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the 
Highest and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his 
father David .

133  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever and of 
his kingdom there shall be no end .

134  Then said Mary unto the angel How shall this be seeing I 
know not a man .

135  And the angel answered and said unto her The Holy Ghost 
shall come upon thee and the power of the Highest shall 
overshadow thee therefore also that holy thing which shall be 
born of thee shall be called the Son of God .

136  And behold thy cousin Elisabeth she hath also conceived a 
son in her old age and this is the sixth month with her who was 
called barren .

137  For with God nothing shall be impossible .

138  And Mary said Behold the handmaid of the Lord be it unto me 
according to thy word And the angel departed from her .

139  And Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country 
with haste into a city of Juda .

140  And entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted 
Elisabeth .

141  And it came to pass that when Elisabeth heard the 
salutation of Mary the babe leaped in her womb and Elisabeth was 
filled with the Holy Ghost .

142  And she spake out with a loud voice and said Blessed art 
thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb .

143  And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should 
come to me .

144  For lo as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in 
mine ears the babe leaped in my womb for joy .

145  And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a 
performance of those things which were told her from the Lord .

146  And Mary said My soul doth magnify the Lord .

147  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour .

148  For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden for 
behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed .

149  For he that is mighty hath done to me great things and holy 
is his name .

150  And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to 
generation .

151  He hath shewed strength with his arm he hath scattered the 
proud in the imagination of their hearts .

152  He hath put down the mighty from their seats and exalted 
them of low degree .

153  He hath filled the hungry with good things and the rich he 
hath sent empty away .

154  He hath holpen his servant Israel in remembrance of his 
mercy .

155  As he spake to our fathers to Abraham and to his seed for 
ever .

156  And Mary abode with her about three months and returned to 
her own house .

157  Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered 
and she brought forth a son .

158  And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had 
shewed great mercy upon her and they rejoiced with her .

159  And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to 
circumcise the child and they called him Zacharias after the 
name of his father .

160  And his mother answered and said Not so but he shall be 
called John .

161  And they said unto her There is none of thy kindred that is 
called by this name .

162  And they made signs to his father how he would have him 
called .

163  And he asked for a writing table and wrote saying His name 
is John And they marvelled all .

164  And his mouth was opened immediately and his tongue loosed 
and he spake and praised God .

165  And fear came on all that dwelt round about them and all 
these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country 
of Judaea .

166  And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts 
saying What manner of child shall this be And the hand of the 
Lord was with him .

167  And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost and 
prophesied saying .

168  Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for he hath visited and 
redeemed his people .

169  And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house 
of his servant David .

170  As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets which have 
been since the world began .

171  That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand 
of all that hate us .

172  To perform the mercy promised to our fathers and to 
remember his holy covenant .

173  The oath which he sware to our father Abraham .

174  That he would grant unto us that we being delivered out of 
the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear .

175  In holiness and righteousness before him all the days of 
our life .

176  And thou child shalt be called the prophet of the Highest 
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his 
ways .

177  To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the 
remission of their sins .

178  Through the tender mercy of our God whereby the dayspring 
from on high hath visited us .

179  To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the 
shadow of death to guide our feet into the way of peace .

180  And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit and was in 
the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel .

* 21  And it came to pass in those days that there went out a 
decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed .

22  (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor 
of Syria .

23  And all went to be taxed every one into his own city .

24  And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of 
Nazareth into Judaea unto the city of David which is called 
Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David .

25  To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being great with 
child .

26  And so it was that while they were there the days were 
accomplished that she should be delivered .

27  And she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in 
swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no 
room for them in the inn .

28  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the 
field keeping watch over their flock by night .

29  And lo the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of 
the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid .

210  And the angel said unto them Fear not for behold I bring 
you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people .

211  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a 
Saviour which is Christ the Lord .

212  And this shall be a sign unto you Ye shall find the babe 
wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger .

213  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the 
heavenly host praising God and saying .

214  Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace good will 
toward men .

215  And it came to pass as the angels were gone away from them 
into heaven the shepherds said one to another Let us now go even 
unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass which 
the Lord hath made known unto us .

216  And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the 
babe lying in a manger .

217  And when they had seen it they made known abroad the saying 
which was told them concerning this child .

218  And all they that heard it wondered at those things which 
were told them by the shepherds .

219  But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her 
heart .

220  And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for 
all the things that they had heard and seen as it was told unto 
them .

221  And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising 
of the child his name was called JESUS which was so named of the 
angel before he was conceived in the womb .

222  And when the days of her purification according to the law 
of Moses were accomplished they brought him to Jerusalem to 
present him to the Lord .

223  (As it is written in the law of the Lord Every male that 
openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord .

224  And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in 
the law of the Lord A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons .

225  And behold there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was 
Simeon and the same man was just and devout waiting for the 
consolation of Israel and the Holy Ghost was upon him .

226  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost that he 
should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ .

227  And he came by the Spirit into the temple and when the 
parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him after the 
custom of the law .

228  Then took he him up in his arms and blessed God and said .

229  Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according 
to thy word .

230  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation .

231  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people .

232  A light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of thy people 
Israel .

233  And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which 
were spoken of him .

234  And Simeon blessed them and said unto Mary his mother 
Behold this child is set for the fall and rising again of many 
in Israel and for a sign which shall be spoken against .

235  (Yea a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also that 
the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed .

236  And there was one Anna a prophetess the daughter of Phanuel 
of the tribe of Aser she was of a great age and had lived with 
an husband seven years from her virginity .

237  And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years which 
departed not from the temple but served God with fastings and 
prayers night and day .

238  And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto 
the Lord and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption 
in Jerusalem .

239  And when they had performed all things according to the law 
of the Lord they returned into Galilee to their own city 
Nazareth .

240  And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit filled with 
wisdom and the grace of God was upon him .

241  Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast 
of the passover .

242  And when he was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem 
after the custom of the feast .

243  And when they had fulfilled the days as they returned the 
child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem and Joseph and his 
mother knew not of it .

244  But they supposing him to have been in the company went a 
day's journey and they sought him among their kinsfolk and 
acquaintance .

245  And when they found him not they turned back again to 
Jerusalem seeking him .

246  And it came to pass that after three days they found him in 
the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors both hearing them 
and asking them questions .

247  And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding 
and answers .

248  And when they saw him they were amazed and his mother said 
unto him Son why hast thou thus dealt with us behold thy father 
and I have sought thee sorrowing .

249  And he said unto them How is it that ye sought me wist ye 
not that I must be about my Father's business .

250  And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them 
.

251  And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was 
subject unto them but his mother kept all these sayings in her 
heart .

252  And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour 
with God and man .

* 31  Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar 
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea and Herod being tetrarch 
of Galilee and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the 
region of Trachonitis and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene .

32  Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests the word of God 
came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness .

33  And he came into all the country about Jordan preaching the 
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins .

34  As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the 
prophet saying The voice of one crying in the wilderness Prepare 
ye the way of the Lord make his paths straight .

35  Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill 
shall be brought low and the crooked shall be made straight and 
the rough ways shall be made smooth .

36  And all flesh shall see the salvation of God .

37  Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized 
of him O generation of vipers who hath warned you to flee from 
the wrath to come .

38  Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance and begin 
not to say within yourselves We have Abraham to our father for I 
say unto you That God is able of these stones to raise up 
children unto Abraham .

39  And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees 
every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn 
down and cast into the fire .

310  And the people asked him saying What shall we do then .

311  He answereth and saith unto them He that hath two coats let 
him impart to him that hath none and he that hath meat let him 
do likewise .

312  Then came also publicans to be baptized and said unto him 
Master what shall we do .

313  And he said unto them Exact no more than that which is 
appointed you .

314  And the soldiers likewise demanded of him saying And what 
shall we do And he said unto them Do violence to no man neither 
accuse any falsely and be content with your wages .

315  And as the people were in expectation and all men mused in 
their hearts of John whether he were the Christ or not .

316  John answered saying unto them all I indeed baptize you 
with water but one mightier than I cometh the latchet of whose 
shoes I am not worthy to unloose he shall baptize you with the 
Holy Ghost and with fire .

317  Whose fan is in his hand and he will throughly purge his 
floor and will gather the wheat into his garner but the chaff he 
will burn with fire unquenchable .

318  And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto 
the people .

319  But Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him for Herodias 
his brother Philip's wife and for all the evils which Herod had 
done .

320  Added yet this above all that he shut up John in prison .

321  Now when all the people were baptized it came to pass that 
Jesus also being baptized and praying the heaven was opened .

322  And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove 
upon him and a voice came from heaven which said Thou art my 
beloved Son in thee I am well pleased .

323  And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age 
being (as was supposed the son of Joseph which was the son of 
Heli .

324  Which was the son of Matthat which was the son of Levi 
which was the son of Melchi which was the son of Janna which was

329  Which was the son of Jose which was the son of Eliezer

330  Which was the son of Simeon which was the son of Juda which

* 41  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from 
Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness .

42  Being forty days tempted of the devil And in those days he 
did eat nothing and when they were ended he afterward hungered .

43  And the devil said unto him If thou be the Son of God 
command this stone that it be made bread .

44  And Jesus answered him saying It is written That man shall 
not live by bread alone but by every word of God .

45  And the devil taking him up into an high mountain shewed 
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time .

46  And the devil said unto him All this power will I give thee 
and the glory of them for that is delivered unto me and to 
whomsoever I will I give it .

47  If thou therefore wilt worship me all shall be thine .

48  And Jesus answered and said unto him Get thee behind me 
Satan for it is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and 
him only shalt thou serve .

49  And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a pinnacle of 
the temple and said unto him If thou be the Son of God cast 
thyself down from hence .

410  For it is written He shall give his angels charge over thee 
to keep thee .

411  And in their hands they shall bear thee up lest at any time 
thou dash thy foot against a stone .

412  And Jesus answering said unto him It is said Thou shalt not 
tempt the Lord thy God .

413  And when the devil had ended all the temptation he departed 
from him for a season .

414  And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee 
and there went out a fame of him through all the region round 
about .

415  And he taught in their synagogues being glorified of all .

416  And he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as 
his custom was he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day and 
stood up for to read .

417  And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet 
Esaias And when he had opened the book he found the place where 
it was written .

418  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed 
me to preach the gospel to the poor he hath sent me to heal the 
brokenhearted to preach deliverance to the captives and 
recovering of sight to the blind to set at liberty them that are 
bruised .

419  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord .

420  And he closed the book and he gave it again to the minister 
and sat down And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue 
were fastened on him .

421  And he began to say unto them This day is this scripture 
fulfilled in your ears .

422  And all bare him witness and wondered at the gracious words 
which proceeded out of his mouth And they said Is not this 
Joseph's son .

423  And he said unto them Ye will surely say unto me this 
proverb Physician heal thyself whatsoever we have heard done in 
Capernaum do also here in thy country .

424  And he said Verily I say unto you No prophet is accepted in 
his own country .

425  But I tell you of a truth many widows were in Israel in the 
days of Elias when the heaven was shut up three years and six 
months when great famine was throughout all the land .

426  But unto none of them was Elias sent save unto Sarepta a 
city of Sidon unto a woman that was a widow .

427  And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the 
prophet and none of them was cleansed saving Naaman the Syrian .

428  And all they in the synagogue when they heard these things 
were filled with wrath .

429  And rose up and thrust him out of the city and led him unto 
the brow of the hill whereon their city was built that they 
might cast him down headlong .

430  But he passing through the midst of them went his way .

431  And came down to Capernaum a city of Galilee and taught 
them on the sabbath days .

432  And they were astonished at his doctrine for his word was 
with power .

433  And in the synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of 
an unclean devil and cried out with a loud voice .

434  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 .

435  And Jesus rebuked him saying Hold thy peace and come out of 
him And when the devil had thrown him in the midst he came out 
of him and hurt him not .

436  And they were all amazed and spake among themselves saying 
What a word is this for with authority and power he commandeth 
the unclean spirits and they come out .

437  And the fame of him went out into every place of the 
country round about .

438  And he arose out of the synagogue and entered into Simon's 
house And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever and 
they besought him for her .

439  And he stood over her and rebuked the fever and it left her 
and immediately she arose and ministered unto them .

440  Now when the sun was setting all they that had any sick 
with divers diseases brought them unto him and he laid his hands 
on every one of them and healed them .

441  And devils also came out of many crying out and saying Thou 
art Christ the Son of God And he rebuking them suffered them not 
to speak for they knew that he was Christ .

442  And when it was day he departed and went into a desert 
place and the people sought him and came unto him and stayed him 
that he should not depart from them .

443  And he said unto them I must preach the kingdom of God to 
other cities also for therefore am I sent .

444  And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee .

* 51  And it came to pass that as the people pressed upon him to 
hear the word of God he stood by the lake of Gennesaret .

52  And saw two ships standing by the lake but the fishermen 
were gone out of them and were washing their nets .

53  And he entered into one of the ships which was Simon's and 
prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land And 
he sat down and taught the people out of the ship .

54  Now when he had left speaking he said unto Simon Launch out 
into the deep and let down your nets for a draught .

55  And Simon answering said unto him Master we have toiled all 
the night and have taken nothing nevertheless at thy word I will 
let down the net .

56  And when they had this done they inclosed a great multitude 
of fishes and their net brake .

57  And they beckoned unto their partners which were in the 
other ship that they should come and help them And they came and 
filled both the ships so that they began to sink .

58  When Simon Peter saw it he fell down at Jesus' knees saying 
Depart from me for I am a sinful man O Lord .

59  For he was astonished and all that were with him at the 
draught of the fishes which they had taken .

510  And so was also James and John the sons of Zebedee which 
were partners with Simon And Jesus said unto Simon Fear not from 
henceforth thou shalt catch men .

511  And when they had brought their ships to land they forsook 
all and followed him .

512  And it came to pass when he was in a certain city behold a 
man full of leprosy who seeing Jesus fell on his face and 
besought him saying Lord if thou wilt thou canst make me clean .

513  And he put forth his hand and touched him saying I will be 
thou clean And immediately the leprosy departed from him .

514  And he charged him to tell no man but go and shew thyself 
to the priest and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses 
commanded for a testimony unto them .

515  But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him and 
great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him 
of their infirmities .

516  And he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed .

517  And it came to pass on a certain day as he was teaching 
that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by 
which were come out of every town of Galilee and Judaea and 
Jerusalem and the power of the Lord was present to heal them .

518  And behold men brought in a bed a man which was taken with 
a palsy and they sought means to bring him in and to lay him 
before him .

519  And when they could not find by what way they might bring 
him in because of the multitude they went upon the housetop and 
let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst 
before Jesus .

520  And when he saw their faith he said unto him Man thy sins 
are forgiven thee .

521  And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason saying 
Who is this which speaketh blasphemies Who can forgive sins but 
God alone .

522  But when Jesus perceived their thoughts he answering said 
unto them What reason ye in your hearts .

523  Whether is easier to say Thy sins be forgiven thee or to 
say Rise up and walk .

524  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon 
earth to forgive sins (he said unto the sick of the palsy I say 
unto thee Arise and take up thy couch and go into thine house .

525  And immediately he rose up before them and took up that 
whereon he lay and departed to his own house glorifying God .

526  And they were all amazed and they glorified God and were 
filled with fear saying We have seen strange things to day .

527  And after these things he went forth and saw a publican 
named Levi sitting at the receipt of custom and he said unto him 
Follow me .

528  And he left all rose up and followed him .

529  And Levi made him a great feast in his own house and there 
was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down 
with them .

530  But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his 
disciples saying Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and 
sinners .

531  And Jesus answering said unto them They that are whole need 
not a physician but they that are sick .

532  I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance .

533  And they said unto him Why do the disciples of John fast 
often and make prayers and likewise the disciples of the 
Pharisees but thine eat and drink .

534  And he said unto them Can ye make the children of the 
bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them .

535  But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken 
away from them and then shall they fast in those days .

536  And he spake also a parable unto them No man putteth a 
piece of a new garment upon an old if otherwise then both the 
new maketh a rent and the piece that was taken out of the new 
agreeth not with the old .

537  And no man putteth new wine into old bottles else the new 
wine will burst the bottles and be spilled and the bottles shall 
perish .

538  But new wine must be put into new bottles and both are 
preserved .

539  No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new 
for he saith The old is better .

* 61  And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first 
that he went through the corn fields and his disciples plucked 
the ears of corn and did eat rubbing them in their hands .

62  And certain of the Pharisees said unto them Why do ye that 
which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days .

63  And Jesus answering them said Have ye not read so much as 
this what David did when himself was an hungered and they which 
were with him .

64  How he went into the house of God and did take and eat the 
shewbread and gave also to them that were with him which it is 
not lawful to eat but for the priests alone .

65  And he said unto them That the Son of man is Lord also of 
the sabbath .

66  And it came to pass also on another sabbath that he entered 
into the synagogue and taught and there was a man whose right 
hand was withered .

67  And the scribes and Pharisees watched him whether he would 
heal on the sabbath day that they might find an accusation 
against him .

68  But he knew their thoughts and said to the man which had the 
withered hand Rise up and stand forth in the midst And he arose 
and stood forth .

69  Then said Jesus unto them I will ask you one thing Is it 
lawful on the sabbath days to do good or to do evil to save life 
or to destroy it .

610  And looking round about upon them all he said unto the man 
Stretch forth thy hand And he did so and his hand was restored 
whole as the other .

611  And they were filled with madness and communed one with 
another what they might do to Jesus .

612  And it came to pass in those days that he went out into a 
mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God .

613  And when it was day he called unto him his disciples and of 
them he chose twelve whom also he named apostles .

614  Simon (whom he also named Peter and Andrew his brother 
James and John Philip and Bartholomew .

615  Matthew and Thomas James the son of Alphaeus and Simon 
called Zelotes .

616  And Judas the brother of James and Judas Iscariot which 
also was the traitor .

617  And he came down with them and stood in the plain and the 
company of his disciples and a great multitude of people out of 
all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the sea coast of Tyre and 
Sidon which came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases .

618  And they that were vexed with unclean spirits and they were 
healed .

619  And the whole multitude sought to touch him for there went 
virtue out of him and healed them all .

620  And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said Blessed 
be ye poor for yours is the kingdom of God .

621  Blessed are ye that hunger now for ye shall be filled 
Blessed are ye that weep now for ye shall laugh .

622  Blessed are ye when men shall hate you and when they shall 
separate you from their company and shall reproach you and cast 
out your name as evil for the Son of man's sake .

623  Rejoice ye in that day and leap for joy for behold your 
reward is great in heaven for in the like manner did their 
fathers unto the prophets .

624  But woe unto you that are rich for ye have received your 
consolation .

625  Woe unto you that are full for ye shall hunger Woe unto you 
that laugh now for ye shall mourn and weep .

626  Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you for so 
did their fathers to the false prophets .

627  But I say unto you which hear Love your enemies do good to 
them which hate you .

628  Bless them that curse you and pray for them which 
despitefully use you .

629  And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also 
the other and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take 
thy coat also .

630  Give to every man that asketh of thee and of him that 
taketh away thy goods ask them not again .

631  And as ye would that men should do to you do ye also to 
them likewise .

632  For if ye love them which love you what thank have ye for 
sinners also love those that love them .

633  And if ye do good to them which do good to you what thank 
have ye for sinners also do even the same .

634  And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive what 
thank have ye for sinners also lend to sinners to receive as 
much again .

635  But love ye your enemies and do good and lend hoping for 
nothing again and your reward shall be great and ye shall be the 
children of the Highest for he is kind unto the unthankful and 
to the evil .

636  Be ye therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful .

637  Judge not and ye shall not be judged condemn not and ye 
shall not be condemned forgive and ye shall be forgiven .

638  Give and it shall be given unto you good measure pressed 
down and shaken together and running over shall men give into 
your bosom For with the same measure that ye mete withal it 
shall be measured to you again .

639  And he spake a parable unto them Can the blind lead the 
blind shall they not both fall into the ditch .

640  The disciple is not above his master but every one that is 
perfect shall be as his master .

641  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's 
eye but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye .

642  Either how canst thou say to thy brother Brother let me 
pull out the mote that is in thine eye when thou thyself 
beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye Thou hypocrite 
cast out first the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou 
see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye .

643  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit neither 
doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit .

644  For every tree is known by his own fruit For of thorns men 
do not gather figs nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes .

645  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth 
forth that which is good and an evil man out of the evil 
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil for of 
the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh .

646  And why call ye me Lord Lord and do not the things which I 
say .

647  Whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth 
them I will shew you to whom he is like .

648  He is like a man which built an house and digged deep and 
laid the foundation on a rock and when the flood arose the 
stream beat vehemently upon that house and could not shake it 
for it was founded upon a rock .

649  But he that heareth and doeth not is like a man that 
without a foundation built an house upon the earth against which 
the stream did beat vehemently and immediately it fell and the 
ruin of that house was great .

* 71  Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of 
the people he entered into Capernaum .

72  And a certain centurion's servant who was dear unto him was 
sick and ready to die .

73  And when he heard of Jesus he sent unto him the elders of 
the Jews beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant .

74  And when they came to Jesus they besought him instantly 
saying That he was worthy for whom he should do this .

75  For he loveth our nation and he hath built us a synagogue .

76  Then Jesus went with them And when he was now not far from 
the house the centurion sent friends to him saying unto him Lord 
trouble not thyself for I am not worthy that thou shouldest 
enter under my roof .

77  Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee 
but say in a word and my servant shall be healed .

78  For I also am a man set under authority having under me 
soldiers and I say unto one Go and he goeth and to another Come 
and he cometh and to my servant Do this and he doeth it .

79  When Jesus heard these things he marvelled at him and turned 
him about and said unto the people that followed him I say unto 
you I have not found so great faith no not in Israel .

710  And they that were sent returning to the house found the 
servant whole that had been sick .

711  And it came to pass the day after that he went into a city 
called Nain and many of his disciples went with him and much 
people .

712  Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city behold there 
was a dead man carried out the only son of his mother and she 
was a widow and much people of the city was with her .

713  And when the Lord saw her he had compassion on her and said 
unto her Weep not .

714  And he came and touched the bier and they that bare him 
stood still And he said Young man I say unto thee Arise .

715  And he that was dead sat up and began to speak And he 
delivered him to his mother .

716  And there came a fear on all and they glorified God saying 
That a great prophet is risen up among us and That God hath 
visited his people .

717  And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea and 
throughout all the region round about .

718  And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things .

719  And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to 
Jesus saying Art thou he that should come or look we for another 
.

720  When the men were come unto him they said John Baptist hath 
sent us unto thee saying Art thou he that should come or look we 
for another .

721  And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities 
and plagues and of evil spirits and unto many that were blind he 
gave sight .

722  Then Jesus answering said unto them Go your way and tell 
John what things ye have seen and heard how that the blind see 
the lame walk the lepers are cleansed the deaf hear the dead are 
raised to the poor the gospel is preached .

723  And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me .

724  And when the messengers of John were departed he began to 
speak unto the people concerning John What went ye out into the 
wilderness for to see A reed shaken with the wind .

725  But what went ye out for to see A man clothed in soft 
raiment Behold they which are gorgeously apparelled and live 
delicately are in kings' courts .

726  But what went ye out for to see A prophet Yea I say unto 
you and much more than a prophet .

727  This is he of whom it is written Behold I send my messenger 
before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee .

728  For I say unto you Among those that are born of women there 
is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist but he that is 
least in the kingdom of God is greater than he .

729  And all the people that heard him and the publicans 
justified God being baptized with the baptism of John .

730  But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God 
against themselves being not baptized of him .

731  And the Lord said Whereunto then shall I liken the men of 
this generation and to what are they like .

732  They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace and 
calling one to another and saying We have piped unto you and ye 
have not danced we have mourned to you and ye have not wept .

733  For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking 
wine and ye say He hath a devil .

734  The Son of man is come eating and drinking and ye say 
Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber a friend of publicans 
and sinners .

735  But wisdom is justified of all her children .

736  And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with 
him And he went into the Pharisee's house and sat down to meat .

737  And behold a woman in the city which was a sinner when she 
knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house brought an 
alabaster box of ointment .

738  And stood at his feet behind him weeping and began to wash 
his feet with tears and did wipe them with the hairs of her head 
and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment .

739  Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it he spake 
within himself saying This man if he were a prophet would have 
known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him for 
she is a sinner .

740  And Jesus answering said unto him Simon I have somewhat to 
say unto thee And he saith Master say on .

741  There was a certain creditor which had two debtors the one 
owed five hundred pence and the other fifty .

742  And when they had nothing to pay he frankly forgave them 
both Tell me therefore which of them will love him most .

743  Simon answered and said I suppose that he to whom he 
forgave most And he said unto him Thou hast rightly judged .

744  And he turned to the woman and said unto Simon Seest thou 
this woman I entered into thine house thou gavest me no water 
for my feet but she hath washed my feet with tears and wiped 
them with the hairs of her head .

745  Thou gavest me no kiss but this woman since the time I came 
in hath not ceased to kiss my feet .

746  My head with oil thou didst not anoint but this woman hath 
anointed my feet with ointment .

747  Wherefore I say unto thee Her sins which are many are 
forgiven for she loved much but to whom little is forgiven the 
same loveth little .

748  And he said unto her Thy sins are forgiven .

749  And they that sat at meat with him began to say within 
themselves Who is this that forgiveth sins also .

750  And he said to the woman Thy faith hath saved thee go in 
peace .

* 81  And it came to pass afterward that he went throughout 
every city and village preaching and shewing the glad tidings of 
the kingdom of God and the twelve were with him .

82  And certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and 
infirmities Mary called Magdalene out of whom went seven devils .

83  And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward and Susanna and 
many others which ministered unto him of their substance .

84  And when much people were gathered together and were come to 
him out of every city he spake by a parable .

85  A sower went out to sow his seed and as he sowed some fell 
by the way side and it was trodden down and the fowls of the air 
devoured it .

86  And some fell upon a rock and as soon as it was sprung up it 
withered away because it lacked moisture .

87  And some fell among thorns and the thorns sprang up with it 
and choked it .

88  And other fell on good ground and sprang up and bare fruit 
an hundredfold And when he had said these things he cried He 
that hath ears to hear let him hear .

89  And his disciples asked him saying What might this parable 
be .

810  And he said Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of 
the kingdom of God but to others in parables that seeing they 
might not see and hearing they might not understand .

811  Now the parable is this The seed is the word of God .

812  Those by the way side are they that hear then cometh the 
devil and taketh away the word out of their hearts lest they 
should believe and be saved .

813  They on the rock are they which when they hear receive the 
word with joy and these have no root which for a while believe 
and in time of temptation fall away .

814  And that which fell among thorns are they which when they 
have heard go forth and are choked with cares and riches and 
pleasures of this life and bring no fruit to perfection .

815  But that on the good ground are they which in an honest and 
good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit 
with patience .

816  No man when he hath lighted a candle covereth it with a 
vessel or putteth it under a bed but setteth it on a candlestick 
that they which enter in may see the light .

817  For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest 
neither any thing hid that shall not be known and come abroad .

818  Take heed therefore how ye hear for whosoever hath to him 
shall be given and whosoever hath not from him shall be taken 
even that which he seemeth to have .

819  Then came to him his mother and his brethren and could not 
come at him for the press .

820  And it was told him by certain which said Thy mother and 
thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee .

821  And he answered and said unto them My mother and my 
brethren are these which hear the word of God and do it .

822  Now it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a 
ship with his disciples and he said unto them Let us go over 
unto the other side of the lake And they launched forth .

823  But as they sailed he fell asleep and there came down a 
storm of wind on the lake and they were filled with water and 
were in jeopardy .

824  And they came to him and awoke him saying Master master we 
perish Then he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the 
water and they ceased and there was a calm .

825  And he said unto them Where is your faith And they being 
afraid wondered saying one to another What manner of man is this 
for he commandeth even the winds and water and they obey him .

826  And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes which is 
over against Galilee .

827  And when he went forth to land there met him out of the 
city a certain man which had devils long time and ware no 
clothes neither abode in any house but in the tombs .

828  When he saw Jesus he cried out and fell down before him and 
with a loud voice said What have I to do with thee Jesus thou 
Son of God most high I beseech thee torment me not .

829  (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the 
man For oftentimes it had caught him and he was kept bound with 
chains and in fetters and he brake the bands and was driven of 
the devil into the wilderness .

830  And Jesus asked him saying What is thy name And he said 
Legion because many devils were entered into him .

831  And they besought him that he would not command them to go 
out into the deep .

832  And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the 
mountain and they besought him that he would suffer them to 
enter into them And he suffered them .

833  Then went the devils out of the man and entered into the 
swine and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the 
lake and were choked .

834  When they that fed them saw what was done they fled and 
went and told it in the city and in the country .

835  Then they went out to see what was done and came to Jesus 
and found the man out of whom the devils were departed sitting 
at the feet of Jesus clothed and in his right mind and they were 
afraid .

836  They also which saw it told them by what means he that was 
possessed of the devils was healed .

837  Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes 
round about besought him to depart from them for they were taken 
with great fear and he went up into the ship and returned back 
again .

838  Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought 
him that he might be with him but Jesus sent him away saying .

839  Return to thine own house and shew how great things God 
hath done unto thee And he went his way and published throughout 
the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him .

840  And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned the people 
gladly received him for they were all waiting for him .

841  And behold there came a man named Jairus and he was a ruler 
of the synagogue and he fell down at Jesus' feet and besought 
him that he would come into his house .

842  For he had one only daughter about twelve years of age and 
she lay a dying But as he went the people thronged him .

843  And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years which had 
spent all her living upon physicians neither could be healed of 
any .

844  Came behind him and touched the border of his garment and 
immediately her issue of blood stanched .

845  And Jesus said Who touched me When all denied Peter and 
they that were with him said Master the multitude throng thee 
and press thee and sayest thou Who touched me .

846  And Jesus said Somebody hath touched me for I perceive that 
virtue is gone out of me .

847  And when the woman saw that she was not hid she came 
trembling and falling down before him she declared unto him 
before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how 
she was healed immediately .

848  And he said unto her Daughter be of good comfort thy faith 
hath made thee whole go in peace .

849  While he yet spake there cometh one from the ruler of the 
synagogue's house saying to him Thy daughter is dead trouble not 
the Master .

850  But when Jesus heard it he answered him saying Fear not 
believe only and she shall be made whole .

851  And when he came into the house he suffered no man to go in 
save Peter and James and John and the father and the mother of 
the maiden .

852  And all wept and bewailed her but he said Weep not she is 
not dead but sleepeth .

853  And they laughed him to scorn knowing that she was dead .

854  And he put them all out and took her by the hand and called 
saying Maid arise .

855  And her spirit came again and she arose straightway and he 
commanded to give her meat .

856  And her parents were astonished but he charged them that 
they should tell no man what was done .

* 91  Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them 
power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases .

92  And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal 
the sick .

93  And he said unto them Take nothing for your journey neither 
staves nor scrip neither bread neither money neither have two 
coats apiece .

94  And whatsoever house ye enter into there abide and thence 
depart .

95  And whosoever will not receive you when ye go out of that 
city shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony 
against them .

96  And they departed and went through the towns preaching the 
gospel and healing every where .

97  Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him and 
he was perplexed because that it was said of some that John was 
risen from the dead .

98  And of some that Elias had appeared and of others that one 
of the old prophets was risen again .

99  And Herod said John have I beheaded but who is this of whom 
I hear such things And he desired to see him .

910  And the apostles when they were returned told him all that 
they had done And he took them and went aside privately into a 
desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida .

911  And the people when they knew it followed him and he 
received them and spake unto them of the kingdom of God and 
healed them that had need of healing .

912  And when the day began to wear away then came the twelve 
and said unto him Send the multitude away that they may go into 
the towns and country round about and lodge and get victuals for 
we are here in a desert place .

913  But he said unto them Give ye them to eat And they said We 
have no more but five loaves and two fishes except we should go 
and buy meat for all this people .

914  For they were about five thousand men And he said to his 
disciples Make them sit down by fifties in a company .

915  And they did so and made them all sit down .

916  Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes and looking 
up to heaven he blessed them and brake and gave to the disciples 
to set before the multitude .

917  And they did eat and were all filled and there was taken up 
of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets .

918  And it came to pass as he was alone praying his disciples 
were with him and he asked them saying Whom say the people that 
I am .

919  They answering said John the Baptist but some say Elias and 
others say that one of the old prophets is risen again .

920  He said unto them But whom say ye that I am Peter answering 
said The Christ of God .

921  And he straitly charged them and commanded them to tell no 
man that thing .

922  Saying The Son of man must suffer many things and be 
rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be 
slain and be raised the third day .

923  And he said to them all If any man will come after me let 
him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me .

924  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it but 
whosoever will lose his life for my sake the same shall save it .

925  For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world and 
lose himself or be cast away .

926  For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words of him 
shall the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his own 
glory and in his Father's and of the holy angels .

927  But I tell you of a truth there be some standing here which 
shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God .

928  And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings 
he took Peter and John and James and went up into a mountain to 
pray .

929  And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance was altered 
and his raiment was white and glistering .

930  And behold there talked with him two men which were Moses 
and Elias .

931  Who appeared in glory and spake of his decease which he 
should accomplish at Jerusalem .

932  But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep 
and when they were awake they saw his glory and the two men that 
stood with him .

933  And it came to pass as they departed from him Peter said 
unto Jesus Master it is good for us to be here and let us make 
three tabernacles one for thee and one for Moses and one for 
Elias not knowing what he said .

934  While he thus spake there came a cloud and overshadowed 
them and they feared as they entered into the cloud .

935  And there came a voice out of the cloud saying This is my 
beloved Son hear him .

936  And when the voice was past Jesus was found alone And they 
kept it close and told no man in those days any of those things 
which they had seen .

937  And it came to pass that on the next day when they were 
come down from the hill much people met him .

938  And behold a man of the company cried out saying Master I 
beseech thee look upon my son for he is mine only child .

939  And lo a spirit taketh him and he suddenly crieth out and 
it teareth him that he foameth again and bruising him hardly 
departeth from him .

940  And I besought thy disciples to cast him out and they could 
not .

941  And Jesus answering said O faithless and perverse 
generation how long shall I be with you and suffer you Bring thy 
son hither .

942  And as he was yet a coming the devil threw him down and 
tare him And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the 
child and delivered him again to his father .

943  And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God But 
while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did he 
said unto his disciples .

944  Let these sayings sink down into your ears for the Son of 
man shall be delivered into the hands of men .

945  But they understood not this saying and it was hid from 
them that they perceived it not and they feared to ask him of 
that saying .

946  Then there arose a reasoning among them which of them 
should be greatest .

947  And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart took a 
child and set him by him .

948  And said unto them Whosoever shall receive this child in my 
name receiveth me and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him 
that sent me for he that is least among you all the same shall 
be great .

949  And John answered and said Master we saw one casting out 
devils in thy name and we forbad him because he followeth not 
with us .

950  And Jesus said unto him Forbid him not for he that is not 
against us is for us .

951  And it came to pass when the time was come that he should 
be received up he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem .

952  And sent messengers before his face and they went and 
entered into a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him .

953  And they did not receive him because his face was as though 
he would go to Jerusalem .

954  And when his disciples James and John saw this they said 
Lord wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and 
consume them even as Elias did .

955  But he turned and rebuked them and said Ye know not what 
manner of spirit ye are of .

956  For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives but 
to save them And they went to another village .

957  And it came to pass that as they went in the way a certain 
man said unto him Lord I will follow thee whithersoever thou 
goest .

958  And Jesus said unto him Foxes have holes and birds of the 
air have nests but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head 
.

959  And he said unto another Follow me But he said Lord suffer 
me first to go and bury my father .

960  Jesus said unto him Let the dead bury their dead but go 
thou and preach the kingdom of God .

961  And another also said Lord I will follow thee but let me 
first go bid them farewell which are at home at my house .

962  And Jesus said unto him No man having put his hand to the 
plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God .

* 101  After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also 
and sent them two and two before his face into every city and 
place whither he himself would come .

102  Therefore said he unto them The harvest truly is great but 
the labourers are few pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest 
that he would send forth labourers into his harvest .

103  Go your ways behold I send you forth as lambs among wolves .

104  Carry neither purse nor scrip nor shoes and salute no man 
by the way .

105  And into whatsoever house ye enter first say Peace be to 
this house .

106  And if the son of peace be there your peace shall rest upon 
it if not it shall turn to you again .

107  And in the same house remain eating and drinking such 
things as they give for the labourer is worthy of his hire Go 
not from house to house .

108  And into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you eat 
such things as are set before you .

109  And heal the sick that are therein and say unto them The 
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you .

1010  But into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you not 
go your ways out into the streets of the same and say .

1011  Even the very dust of your city which cleaveth on us we do 
wipe off against you notwithstanding be ye sure of this that the 
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you .

1012  But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable in that 
day for Sodom than for that city .

1013  Woe unto thee Chorazin woe unto thee Bethsaida for if the 
mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been 
done in you they had a great while ago repented sitting in 
sackcloth and ashes .

1014  But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the 
judgment than for you .

1015  And thou Capernaum which art exalted to heaven shalt be 
thrust down to hell .

1016  He that heareth you heareth me and he that despiseth you 
despiseth me and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me 
.

1017  And the seventy returned again with joy saying Lord even 
the devils are subject unto us through thy name .

1018  And he said unto them I beheld Satan as lightning fall 
from heaven .

1019  Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and 
scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall 
by any means hurt you .

1020  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not that the spirits are 
subject unto you but rather rejoice because your names are 
written in heaven .

1021  In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said I thank 
thee O Father Lord of heaven and earth that thou hast hid these 
things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto 
babes even so Father for so it seemed good in thy sight .

1022  All things are delivered to me of my Father and no man 
knoweth who the Son is but the Father and who the Father is but 
the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him .

1023  And he turned him unto his disciples and said privately 
Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see .

1024  For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired 
to see those things which ye see and have not seen them and to 
hear those things which ye hear and have not heard them .

1025  And behold a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him 
saying Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life .

1026  He said unto him What is written in the law how readest 
thou .

1027  And he answering said Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 
with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy 
strength and with all thy mind and thy neighbour as thyself .

1028  And he said unto him Thou hast answered right this do and 
thou shalt live .

1029  But he willing to justify himself said unto Jesus And who 
is my neighbour .

1030  And Jesus answering said A certain man went down from 
Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves which stripped him 
of his raiment and wounded him and departed leaving him half 
dead .

1031  And by chance there came down a certain priest that way 
and when he saw him he passed by on the other side .

1032  And likewise a Levite when he was at the place came and 
looked on him and passed by on the other side .

1033  But a certain Samaritan as he journeyed came where he was 
and when he saw him he had compassion on him .

1034  And went to him and bound up his wounds pouring in oil and 
wine and set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn and 
took care of him .

1035  And on the morrow when he departed he took out two pence 
and gave them to the host and said unto him Take care of him and 
whatsoever thou spendest more when I come again I will repay 
thee .

1036  Which now of these three thinkest thou was neighbour unto 
him that fell among the thieves .

1037  And he said He that shewed mercy on him Then said Jesus 
unto him Go and do thou likewise .

1038  Now it came to pass as they went that he entered into a 
certain village and a certain woman named Martha received him 
into her house .

1039  And she had a sister called Mary which also sat at Jesus' 
feet and heard his word .

1040  But Martha was cumbered about much serving and came to him 
and said Lord dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to 
serve alone bid her therefore that she help me .

1041  And Jesus answered and said unto her Martha Martha thou 
art careful and troubled about many things .

1042  But one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good 
part which shall not be taken away from her .

* 111  And it came to pass that as he was praying in a certain 
place when he ceased one of his disciples said unto him Lord 
teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples .

112  And he said unto them When ye pray say Our Father which art 
in heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done 
as in heaven so in earth .

113  Give us day by day our daily bread .

114  And forgive us our sins for we also forgive every one that 
is indebted to us And lead us not into temptation but deliver us 
from evil .

115  And he said unto them Which of you shall have a friend and 
shall go unto him at midnight and say unto him Friend lend me 
three loaves .

116  For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me and I 
have nothing to set before him .

117  And he from within shall answer and say Trouble me not the 
door is now shut and my children are with me in bed I cannot 
rise and give thee .

118  I say unto you Though he will not rise and give him because 
he is his friend yet because of his importunity he will rise and 
give him as many as he needeth .

119  And I say unto you Ask and it shall be given you seek and 
ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you .

1110  For every one that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh 
findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened .

1111  If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father 
will he give him a stone or if he ask a fish will he for a fish 
give him a serpent .

1112  Or if he shall ask an egg will he offer him a scorpion .

1113  If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto 
your children how much more shall your heavenly Father give the 
Holy Spirit to them that ask him .

1114  And he was casting out a devil and it was dumb And it came 
to pass when the devil was gone out the dumb spake and the 
people wondered .

1115  But some of them said He casteth out devils through 
Beelzebub the chief of the devils .

1116  And others tempting him sought of him a sign from heaven .

1117  But he knowing their thoughts said unto them Every kingdom 
divided against itself is brought to desolation and a house 
divided against a house falleth .

1118  If Satan also be divided against himself how shall his 
kingdom stand because ye say that I cast out devils through 
Beelzebub .

1119  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils by whom do your sons 
cast them out therefore shall they be your judges .

1120  But if I with the finger of God cast out devils no doubt 
the kingdom of God is come upon you .

1121  When a strong man armed keepeth his palace his goods are 
in peace .

1122  But when a stronger than he shall come upon him and 
overcome him he taketh from him all his armour wherein he 
trusted and divideth his spoils .

1123  He that is not with me is against me and he that gathereth 
not with me scattereth .

1124  When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh 
through dry places seeking rest and finding none he saith I will 
return unto my house whence I came out .

1125  And when he cometh he findeth it swept and garnished .

1126  Then goeth he and taketh to him seven other spirits more 
wicked than himself and they enter in and dwell there and the 
last state of that man is worse than the first .

1127  And it came to pass as he spake these things a certain 
woman of the company lifted up her voice and said unto him 
Blessed is the womb that bare thee and the paps which thou hast 
sucked .

1128  But he said Yea rather blessed are they that hear the word 
of God and keep it .

1129  And when the people were gathered thick together he began 
to say This is an evil generation they seek a sign and there 
shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonas the prophet .

1130  For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites so shall also 
the Son of man be to this generation .

1131  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with 
the men of this generation and condemn them for she came from 
the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and 
behold a greater than Solomon is here .

1132  The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this 
generation and shall condemn it for they repented at the 
preaching of Jonas and behold a greater than Jonas is here .

1133  No man when he hath lighted a candle putteth it in a 
secret place neither under a bushel but on a candlestick that 
they which come in may see the light .

1134  The light of the body is the eye therefore when thine eye 
is single thy whole body also is full of light but when thine 
eye is evil thy body also is full of darkness .

1135  Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not 
darkness .

1136  If thy whole body therefore be full of light having no 
part dark the whole shall be full of light as when the bright 
shining of a candle doth give thee light .

1137  And as he spake a certain Pharisee besought him to dine 
with him and he went in and sat down to meat .

1138  And when the Pharisee saw it he marvelled that he had not 
first washed before dinner .

1139  And the Lord said unto him Now do ye Pharisees make clean 
the outside of the cup and the platter but your inward part is 
full of ravening and wickedness .

1140  Ye fools did not he that made that which is without make 
that which is within also .

1141  But rather give alms of such things as ye have and behold 
all things are clean unto you .

1142  But woe unto you Pharisees for ye tithe mint and rue and 
all manner of herbs and pass over judgment and the love of God 
these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone .

1143  Woe unto you Pharisees for ye love the uppermost seats in 
the synagogues and greetings in the markets .

1144  Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for ye are 
as graves which appear not and the men that walk over them are 
not aware of them .

1145  Then answered one of the lawyers and said unto him Master 
thus saying thou reproachest us also .

1146  And he said Woe unto you also ye lawyers for ye lade men 
with burdens grievous to be borne and ye yourselves touch not 
the burdens with one of your fingers .

1147  Woe unto you for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets 
and your fathers killed them .

1148  Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your 
fathers for they indeed killed them and ye build their 
sepulchres .

1149  Therefore also said the wisdom of God I will send them 
prophets and apostles and some of them they shall slay and 
persecute .

1150  That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the 
foundation of the world may be required of this generation .

1151  From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which 
perished between the altar and the temple verily I say unto you 
It shall be required of this generation .

1152  Woe unto you lawyers for ye have taken away the key of 
knowledge ye entered not in yourselves and them that were 
entering in ye hindered .

1153  And as he said these things unto them the scribes and the 
Pharisees began to urge him vehemently and to provoke him to 
speak of many things .

1154  Laying wait for him and seeking to catch something out of 
his mouth that they might accuse him .

* 121  In the mean time when there were gathered together an 
innumerable multitude of people insomuch that they trode one 
upon another he began to say unto his disciples first of all 
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy .

122  For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed 
neither hid that shall not be known .

123  Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be 
heard in the light and that which ye have spoken in the ear in 
closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops .

124  And I say unto you my friends Be not afraid of them that 
kill the body and after that have no more that they can do .

125  But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear Fear him which 
after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell yea I say unto 
you Fear him .

126  Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings and not one of 
them is forgotten before God .

127  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered Fear 
not therefore ye are of more value than many sparrows .

128  Also I say unto you Whosoever shall confess me before men 
him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God .

129  But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before 
the angels of God .

1210  And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man it 
shall be forgiven him but unto him that blasphemeth against the 
Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven .

1211  And when they bring you unto the synagogues and unto 
magistrates and powers take ye no thought how or what thing ye 
shall answer or what ye shall say .

1212  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what 
ye ought to say .

1213  And one of the company said unto him Master speak to my 
brother that he divide the inheritance with me .

1214  And he said unto him Man who made me a judge or a divider 
over you .

1215  And he said unto them Take heed and beware of covetousness 
for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things 
which he possesseth .

1216  And he spake a parable unto them saying The ground of a 
certain rich man brought forth plentifully .

1217  And he thought within himself saying What shall I do 
because I have no room where to bestow my fruits .

1218  And he said This will I do I will pull down my barns and 
build greater and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods 
.

1219  And I will say to my soul Soul thou hast much goods laid 
up for many years take thine ease eat drink and be merry .

1220  But God said unto him Thou fool this night thy soul shall 
be required of thee then whose shall those things be which thou 
hast provided .

1221  So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not 
rich toward God .

1222  And he said unto his disciples Therefore I say unto you 
Take no thought for your life what ye shall eat neither for the 
body what ye shall put on .

1223  The life is more than meat and the body is more than 
raiment .

1224  Consider the ravens for they neither sow nor reap which 
neither have storehouse nor barn and God feedeth them how much 
more are ye better than the fowls .

1225  And which of you with taking thought can add to his 
stature one cubit .

1226  If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least why 
take ye thought for the rest .

1227  Consider the lilies how they grow they toil not they spin 
not and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not 
arrayed like one of these .

1228  If then God so clothe the grass which is to day in the 
field and to morrow is cast into the oven how much more will he 
clothe you O ye of little faith .

1229  And seek not ye what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink 
neither be ye of doubtful mind .

1230  For all these things do the nations of the world seek 
after and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things .

1231  But rather seek ye the kingdom of God and all these things 
shall be added unto you .

1232  Fear not little flock for it is your Father's good 
pleasure to give you the kingdom .

1233  Sell that ye have and give alms provide yourselves bags 
which wax not old a treasure in the heavens that faileth not 
where no thief approacheth neither moth corrupteth .

1234  For where your treasure is there will your heart be also .

1235  Let your loins be girded about and your lights burning .

1236  And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord 
when he will return from the wedding that when he cometh and 
knocketh they may open unto him immediately .

1237  Blessed are those servants whom the lord when he cometh 
shall find watching verily I say unto you that he shall gird 
himself and make them to sit down to meat and will come forth 
and serve them .

1238  And if he shall come in the second watch or come in the 
third watch and find them so blessed are those servants .

1239  And this know that if the goodman of the house had known 
what hour the thief would come he would have watched and not 
have suffered his house to be broken through .

1240  Be ye therefore ready also for the Son of man cometh at an 
hour when ye think not .

1241  Then Peter said unto him Lord speakest thou this parable 
unto us or even to all .

1242  And the Lord said Who then is that faithful and wise 
steward whom his lord shall make ruler over his household to 
give them their portion of meat in due season .

1243  Blessed is that servant whom his lord when he cometh shall 
find so doing .

1244  Of a truth I say unto you that he will make him ruler over 
all that he hath .

1245  But and if that servant say in his heart My lord delayeth 
his coming and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens 
and to eat and drink and to be drunken .

1246  The lord of that servant will come in a day when he 
looketh not for him and at an hour when he is not aware and will 
cut him in sunder and will appoint him his portion with the 
unbelievers .

1247  And that servant which knew his lord's will and prepared 
not himself neither did according to his will shall be beaten 
with many stripes .

1248  But he that knew not and did commit things worthy of 
stripes shall be beaten with few stripes For unto whomsoever 
much is given of him shall be much required and to whom men have 
committed much of him they will ask the more .

1249  I am come to send fire on the earth and what will I if it 
be already kindled .

1250  But I have a baptism to be baptized with and how am I 
straitened till it be accomplished .

1251  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth I tell 
you Nay but rather division .

1252  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house 
divided three against two and two against three .

1253  The father shall be divided against the son and the son 
against the father the mother against the daughter and the 
daughter against the mother the mother in law against her 
daughter in law and the daughter in law against her mother in 
law .

1254  And he said also to the people When ye see a cloud rise 
out of the west straightway ye say There cometh a shower and so 
it is .

1255  And when ye see the south wind blow ye say There will be 
heat and it cometh to pass .

1256  Ye hypocrites ye can discern the face of the sky and of 
the earth but how is it that ye do not discern this time .

1257  Yea and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right .

1258  When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate as 
thou art in the way give diligence that thou mayest be delivered 
from him lest he hale thee to the judge and the judge deliver 
thee to the officer and the officer cast thee into prison .

1259  I tell thee thou shalt not depart thence till thou hast 
paid the very last mite .

* 131  There were present at that season some that told him of 
the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their 
sacrifices .

132  And Jesus answering said unto them Suppose ye that these 
Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans because they 
suffered such things .

133  I tell you Nay but except ye repent ye shall all likewise 
perish .

134  Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and 
slew them think ye that they were sinners above all men that 
dwelt in Jerusalem .

135  I tell you Nay but except ye repent ye shall all likewise 
perish .

136  He spake also this parable A certain man had a fig tree 
planted in his vineyard and he came and sought fruit thereon and 
found none .

137  Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard Behold these 
three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none 
cut it down why cumbereth it the ground .

138  And he answering said unto him Lord let it alone this year 
also till I shall dig about it and dung it .

139  And if it bear fruit well and if not then after that thou 
shalt cut it down .

1310  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the 
sabbath .

1311  And behold there was a woman which had a spirit of 
infirmity eighteen years and was bowed together and could in no 
wise lift up herself .

1312  And when Jesus saw her he called her to him and said unto 
her Woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity .

1313  And he laid his hands on her and immediately she was made 
straight and glorified God .

1314  And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation 
because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day and said unto 
the people There are six days in which men ought to work in them 
therefore come and be healed and not on the sabbath day .

1315  The Lord then answered him and said Thou hypocrite doth 
not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from 
the stall and lead him away to watering .

1316  And ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham whom 
Satan hath bound lo these eighteen years be loosed from this 
bond on the sabbath day .

1317  And when he had said these things all his adversaries were 
ashamed and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things 
that were done by him .

1318  Then said he Unto what is the kingdom of God like and 
whereunto shall I resemble it .

1319  It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and 
cast into his garden and it grew and waxed a great tree and the 
fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it .

1320  And again he said Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of 
God .

1321  It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three 
measures of meal till the whole was leavened .

1322  And he went through the cities and villages teaching and 
journeying toward Jerusalem .

1323  Then said one unto him Lord are there few that be saved 
And he said unto them .

1324  Strive to enter in at the strait gate for many I say unto 
you will seek to enter in and shall not be able .

1325  When once the master of the house is risen up and hath 
shut to the door and ye begin to stand without and to knock at 
the door saying Lord Lord open unto us and he shall answer and 
say unto you I know you not whence ye are .

1326  Then shall ye begin to say We have eaten and drunk in thy 
presence and thou hast taught in our streets .

1327  But he shall say I tell you I know you not whence ye are 
depart from me all ye workers of iniquity .

1328  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall 
see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the 
kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out .

1329  And they shall come from the east and from the west and 
from the north and from the south and shall sit down in the 
kingdom of God .

1330  And behold there are last which shall be first and there 
are first which shall be last .

1331  The same day there came certain of the Pharisees saying 
unto him Get thee out and depart hence for Herod will kill thee .

1332  And he said unto them Go ye and tell that fox Behold I 
cast out devils and I do cures to day and to morrow and the 
third day I shall be perfected .

1333  Nevertheless I must walk to day and to morrow and the day 
following for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of 
Jerusalem .

1334  O Jerusalem Jerusalem which killest the prophets and 
stonest them that are sent unto thee how often would I have 
gathered thy children together as a hen doth gather her brood 
under her wings and ye would not .

1335  Behold your house is left unto you desolate and verily I 
say unto you Ye shall not see me until the time come when ye 
shall say Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord .

*  141  And it came to pass as he went into the house of one of 
the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day that they 
watched him .

142  And behold there was a certain man before him which had the 
dropsy .

143  And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees 
saying Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day .

144  And they held their peace And he took him and healed him 
and let him go .

145  And answered them saying Which of you shall have an ass or 
an ox fallen into a pit and will not straightway pull him out on 
the sabbath day .

146  And they could not answer him again to these things .

147  And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden when 
he marked how they chose out the chief rooms saying unto them .

148  When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding sit not down 
in the highest room lest a more honourable man than thou be 
bidden of him .

149  And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee Give 
this man place and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room 
.

1410  But when thou art bidden go and sit down in the lowest 
room that when he that bade thee cometh he may say unto thee 
Friend go up higher then shalt thou have worship in the presence 
of them that sit at meat with thee .

1411  For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased and he that 
humbleth himself shall be exalted .

1412  Then said he also to him that bade him When thou makest a 
dinner or a supper call not thy friends nor thy brethren neither 
thy kinsmen nor thy rich neighbours lest they also bid thee 
again and a recompence be made thee .

1413  But when thou makest a feast call the poor the maimed the 
lame the blind .

1414  And thou shalt be blessed for they cannot recompense thee 
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just .

1415  And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these 
things he said unto him Blessed is he that shall eat bread in 
the kingdom of God .

1416  Then said he unto him A certain man made a great supper 
and bade many .

1417  And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that 
were bidden Come for all things are now ready .

1418  And they all with one consent began to make excuse The 
first said unto him I have bought a piece of ground and I must 
needs go and see it I pray thee have me excused .

1419  And another said I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go 
to prove them I pray thee have me excused .

1420  And another said I have married a wife and therefore I 
cannot come .

1421  So that servant came and shewed his lord these things Then 
the master of the house being angry said to his servant go out 
quickly into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in 
hither the poor and the maimed and the halt and the blind .

1422  And the servant said Lord it is done as thou hast  1422  
And the servant said Lord it is done as thou hast commanded and 
yet there is room .

1423  And the lord said unto the servant Go out into the 
highways and hedges and compel them to come in that my house may 
be filled .

1424  For I say unto you That none of those men which were 
bidden shall taste of my supper .

1425  And there went great multitudes with him and he turned and 
said unto them .

1426  If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother 
and wife and children and brethren and sisters yea and his own 
life also he cannot be my disciple .

1427  And whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me 
cannot be my disciple .

1428  For which of you intending to build a tower sitteth not 
down first and counteth the cost whether he have sufficient to 
finish it .

1429  Lest haply after he hath laid the foundation and is not 
able to finish it all that behold it begin to mock him .

1430  Saying This man began to build and was not able to finish .

1431  Or what king going to make war against another king 
sitteth not down first and consulteth whether he be able with 
ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty 
thousand .

1432  Or else while the other is yet a great way off he sendeth 
an ambassage and desireth conditions of peace .

1433  So likewise whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all 
that he hath he cannot be my disciple .

1434  Salt is good but if the salt have lost his savour 
wherewith shall it be seasoned .

1435  It is neither fit for the land nor yet for the dunghill 
but men cast it out He that hath ears to hear let him hear .

* 151  Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for 
to hear him .

152  And the Pharisees and scribes murmured saying This man 
receiveth sinners and eateth with them .

153  And he spake this parable unto them saying .

154  What man of you having an hundred sheep if he lose one of 
them doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go 
after that which is lost until he find it .

155  And when he hath found it he layeth it on his shoulders 
rejoicing .

156  And when he cometh home he calleth together his friends and 
neighbours saying unto them Rejoice with me for I have found my 
sheep which was lost .

157  I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over 
one sinner that repenteth more than over ninety and nine just 
persons which need no repentance .

158  Either what woman having ten pieces of silver if she lose 
one piece doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek 
diligently till she find it .

159  And when she hath found it she calleth her friends and her 
neighbours together saying Rejoice with me for I have found the 
piece which I had lost .

1510  Likewise I say unto you there is joy in the presence of 
the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth .

1511  And he said A certain man had two sons .

1512  And the younger of them said to his father Father give me 
the portion of goods that falleth to me And he divided unto them 
his living .

1513  And not many days after the younger son gathered all 
together and took his journey into a far country and there 
wasted his substance with riotous living .

1514  And when he had spent all there arose a mighty famine in 
that land and he began to be in want .

1515  And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that 
country and he sent him into his fields to feed swine .

1516  And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks 
that the swine did eat and no man gave unto him .

1517  And when he came to himself he said How many hired 
servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare and I 
perish with hunger .

1518  I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him 
Father I have sinned against heaven and before thee .

1519  And am no more worthy to be called thy son make me as one 
of thy hired servants .

1520  And he arose and came to his father But when he was yet a 
great way off his father saw him and had compassion and ran and 
fell on his neck and kissed him .

1521  And the son said unto him Father I have sinned against 
heaven and in thy sight and am no more worthy to be called thy 
son .

1522  But the father said to his servants Bring forth the best 
robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and shoes on 
his feet .

1523  And bring hither the fatted calf and kill it and let us 
eat and be merry .

1524  For this my son was dead and is alive again he was lost 
and is found And they began to be merry .

1525  Now his elder son was in the field and as he came and drew 
nigh to the house he heard music and dancing .

1526  And he called one of the servants and asked what these 
things meant .

1527  And he said unto him Thy brother is come and thy father 
hath killed the fatted calf because he hath received him safe 
and sound .

1528  And he was angry and would not go in therefore came his 
father out and entreated him .

1529  And he answering said to his father Lo these many years do 
I serve thee neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment 
and yet thou never gavest me a kid that I might make merry with 
my friends .

1530  But as soon as this thy son was come which hath devoured 
thy living with harlots thou hast killed for him the fatted calf 
.

1531  And he said unto him Son thou art ever with me and all 
that I have is thine .

1532  It was meet that we should make merry and be glad for this 
thy brother was dead and is alive again and was lost and is 
found .

* 161  And he said also unto his disciples There was a certain 
rich man which had a steward and the same was accused unto him 
that he had wasted his goods .

162  And he called him and said unto him How is it that I hear 
this of thee give an account of thy stewardship for thou mayest 
be no longer steward .

163  Then the steward said within himself What shall I do for my 
lord taketh away from me the stewardship I cannot dig to beg I 
am ashamed .

164  I am resolved what to do that when I am put out of the 
stewardship they may receive me into their houses .

165  So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him and 
said unto the first How much owest thou unto my lord .

166  And he said An hundred measures of oil And he said unto him 
Take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty .

167  Then said he to another And how much owest thou And he said 
An hundred measures of wheat And he said unto him Take thy bill 
and write fourscore .

168  And the lord commended the unjust steward because he had 
done wisely for the children of this world are in their 
generation wiser than the children of light .

169  And I say unto you Make to yourselves friends of the mammon 
of unrighteousness that when ye fail they may receive you into 
everlasting habitations .

1610  He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful 
also in much and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also 
in much .

1611  If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous 
mammon who will commit to your trust the true riches .

1612  And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another 
man's who shall give you that which is your own .

1613  No servant can serve two masters for either he will hate 
the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and 
despise the other Ye cannot serve God and mammon .

1614  And the Pharisees also who were covetous heard all these 
things and they derided him .

1615  And he said unto them Ye are they which justify yourselves 
before men but God knoweth your hearts for that which is highly 
esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God .

1616  The law and the prophets were until John since that time 
the kingdom of God is preached and every man presseth into it .

1617  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one 
tittle of the law to fail .

1618  Whosoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another 
committeth adultery and whosoever marrieth her that is put away 
from her husband committeth adultery .

1619  There was a certain rich man which was clothed in purple 
and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day .

1620  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was 
laid at his gate full of sores .

1621  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the 
rich man's table moreover the dogs came and licked his sores .

1622  And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried 
by the angels into Abraham's bosom the rich man also died and 
was buried .

1623  And in hell he lift up his eyes being in torments and 
seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom .

1624  And he cried and said Father Abraham have mercy on me and 
send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and 
cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame .

1625  But Abraham said Son remember that thou in thy lifetime 
receivedst thy good things and likewise Lazarus evil things but 
now he is comforted and thou art tormented .

1626  And beside all this between us and you there is a great 
gulf fixed so that they which would pass from hence to you 
cannot neither can they pass to us that would come from thence .

1627  Then he said I pray thee therefore father that thou 
wouldest send him to my father's house .

1628  For I have five brethren that he may testify unto them 
lest they also come into this place of torment .

1629  Abraham saith unto him They have Moses and the prophets 
let them hear them .

1630  And he said Nay father Abraham but if one went unto them 
from the dead they will repent .

1631  And he said unto him If they hear not Moses and the 
prophets neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the 
dead .

* 171  Then said he unto the disciples It is impossible but that 
offences will come but woe unto him through whom they come .

172  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about 
his neck and he cast into the sea than that he should offend one 
of these little ones .

173  Take heed to yourselves If thy brother trespass against 
thee rebuke him and if he repent forgive him .

174  And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day and 
seven times in a day turn again to thee saying I repent thou 
shalt forgive him .

175  And the apostles said unto the Lord Increase our faith .

176  And the Lord said If ye had faith as a grain of mustard 
seed ye might say unto this sycamine tree Be thou plucked up by 
the root and be thou planted in the sea and it should obey you .

177  But which of you having a servant plowing or feeding cattle 
will say unto him by and by when he is come from the field Go 
and sit down to meat .

178  And will not rather say unto him Make ready wherewith I may 
sup and gird thyself and serve me till I have eaten and drunken 
and afterward thou shalt eat and drink .

179  Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that 
were commanded him I trow not .

1710  So likewise ye when ye shall have done all those things 
which are commanded you say We are unprofitable servants we have 
done that which was our duty to do .

1711  And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem that he passed 
through the midst of Samaria and Galilee .

1712  And as he entered into a certain village there met him ten 
men that were lepers which stood afar off .

1713  And they lifted up their voices and said Jesus Master have 
mercy on us .

1714  And when he saw them he said unto them Go shew yourselves 
unto the priests And it came to pass that as they went they were 
cleansed .

1715  And one of them when he saw that he was healed turned back 
and with a loud voice glorified God .

1716  And fell down on his face at his feet giving him thanks 
and he was a Samaritan .

1717  And Jesus answering said Were there not ten cleansed but 
where are the nine .

1718  There are not found that returned to give glory to God 
save this stranger .

1719  And he said unto him Arise go thy way thy faith hath made 
thee whole .

1720  And when he was demanded of the Pharisees when the kingdom 
of God should come he answered them and said The kingdom of God 
cometh not with observation .

1721  Neither shall they say Lo here or lo there for behold the 
kingdom of God is within you .

1722  And he said unto the disciples The days will come when ye 
shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man and ye 
shall not see it .

1723  And they shall say to you See here or see there go not 
after them nor follow them .

1724  For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part 
under heaven shineth unto the other part under heaven so shall 
also the Son of man be in his day .

1725  But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of 
this generation .

1726  And as it was in the days of Noe so shall it be also in 
the days of the Son of man .

1727  They did eat they drank they married wives they were given 
in marriage until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the 
flood came and destroyed them all .

1728  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot they did eat 
they drank they bought they sold they planted they builded .

1729  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire 
and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all .

1730  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is 
revealed .

1731  In that day he which shall be upon the housetop and his 
stuff in the house let him not come down to take it away and he 
that is in the field let him likewise not return back .

1732  Remember Lot's wife .

1733  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it and 
whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it .

1734  I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed 
the one shall be taken and the other shall be left .

1735  Two women shall be grinding together the one shall be 
taken and the other left .

1736  Two men shall be in the field the one shall be taken and 
the other left .

1737  And they answered and said unto him Where Lord And he said 
unto them Wheresoever the body is thither will the eagles be 
gathered together .

* 181  And he spake a parable unto them to this end that men 
ought always to pray and not to faint .

182  Saying There was in a city a judge which feared not God 
neither regarded man .

183  And there was a widow in that city and she came unto him 
saying Avenge me of mine adversary .

184  And he would not for a while but afterward he said within 
himself Though I fear not God nor regard man .

185  Yet because this widow troubleth me I will avenge her lest 
by her continual coming she weary me .

186  And the Lord said Hear what the unjust judge saith .

187  And shall not God avenge his own elect which cry day and 
night unto him though he bear long with them .

188  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily Nevertheless 
when the Son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth .

189  And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in 
themselves that they were righteous and despised others .

1810  Two men went up into the temple to pray the one a Pharisee 
and the other a publican .

1811  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself God I 
thank thee that I am not as other men are extortioners unjust 
adulterers or even as this publican .

1812  I fast twice in the week I give tithes of all that I 
possess .

1813  And the publican standing afar off would not lift up so 
much as his eyes unto heaven but smote upon his breast saying 
God be merciful to me a sinner .

1814  I tell you this man went down to his house justified 
rather than the other for every one that exalteth himself shall 
be abased and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted .

1815  And they brought unto him also infants that he would touch 
them but when his disciples saw it they rebuked them .

1816  But Jesus called them unto him and said Suffer little 
children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the 
kingdom of God .

1817  Verily I say unto you Whosoever shall not receive the 
kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein .

1818  And a certain ruler asked him saying Good Master what 
shall I do to inherit eternal life .

1819  And Jesus said unto him Why callest thou me good none is 
good save one that is God .

1820  Thou knowest the commandments Do not commit adultery Do 
not kill Do not steal Do not bear false witness Honour thy 
father and thy mother .

1821  And he said All these have I kept from my youth up .

1822  Now when Jesus heard these things he said unto him Yet 
lackest thou one thing sell all that thou hast and distribute 
unto the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven and come 
follow me .

1823  And when he heard this he was very sorrowful for he was 
very rich .

1824  And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful he said How 
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God 
.

1825  For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye 
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God .

1826  And they that heard it said Who then can be saved .

1827  And he said The things which are impossible with men are 
possible with God .

1828  Then Peter said Lo we have left all and followed thee .

1829  And he said unto them Verily I say unto you There is no 
man that hath left house or parents or brethren or wife or 
children for the kingdom of God's sake .

1830  Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time 
and in the world to come life everlasting .

1831  Then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them Behold 
we go up to Jerusalem and all things that are written by the 
prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished .

1832  For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be 
mocked and spitefully entreated and spitted on .

1833  And they shall scourge him and put him to death and the 
third day he shall rise again .

1834  And they understood none of these things and this saying 
was hid from them neither knew they the things which were spoken 
.

1835  And it came to pass that as he was come nigh unto Jericho 
a certain blind man sat by the way side begging .

1836  And hearing the multitude pass by he asked what it meant .

1837  And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by .

1838  And he cried saying Jesus thou son of David have mercy on 
me .

1839  And they which went before rebuked him that he should hold 
his peace but he cried so much the more Thou son of David have 
mercy on me .

1840  And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought unto him 
and when he was come near he asked him .

1841  Saying What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee And he 
said Lord that I may receive my sight .

1842  And Jesus said unto him Receive thy sight thy faith hath 
saved thee .

1843  And immediately he received his sight and followed him 
glorifying God and all the people when they saw it gave praise 
unto God .

* 191  And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho .

192  And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus which was the 
chief among the publicans and he was rich .

193  And he sought to see Jesus who he was and could not for the 
press because he was little of stature .

194  And he ran before and climbed up into a sycamore tree to 
see him for he was to pass that way .

195  And when Jesus came to the place he looked up and saw him 
and said unto him Zacchaeus make haste and come down for to day 
I must abide at thy house .

196  And he made haste and came down and received him joyfully .

197  And when they saw it they all murmured saying That he was 
gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner .

198  And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord Behold Lord the 
half of my goods I give to the poor and if I have taken any 
thing from any man by false accusation I restore him fourfold .

199  And Jesus said unto him This day is salvation come to this 
house forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham .

1910  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which 
was lost .

1911  And as they heard these things he added and spake a 
parable because he was nigh to Jerusalem and because they 
thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear .

1912  He said therefore A certain nobleman went into a far 
country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return .

1913  And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten 
pounds and said unto them Occupy till I come .

1914  But his citizens hated him and sent a message after him 
saying We will not have this man to reign over us .

1915  And it came to pass that when he was returned having 
received the kingdom then he commanded these servants to be 
called unto him to whom he had given the money that he might 
know how much every man had gained by trading .

1916  Then came the first saying Lord thy pound hath gained ten 
pounds .

1917  And he said unto him Well thou good servant because thou 
hast been faithful in a very little have thou authority over ten 
cities .

1918  And the second came saying Lord thy pound hath gained five 
pounds .

1919  And he said likewise to him Be thou also over five cities .

1920  And another came saying Lord behold here is thy pound 
which I have kept laid up in a napkin .

1921  For I feared thee because thou art an austere man thou 
takest up that thou layedst not down and reapest that thou didst 
not sow .

1922  And he saith unto him Out of thine own mouth will I judge 
thee thou wicked servant Thou knewest that I was an austere man 
taking up that I laid not down and reaping that I did not sow .

1923  Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank that 
at my coming I might have required mine own with usury .

1924  And he said unto them that stood by Take from him the 
pound and give it to him that hath ten pounds .

1925  (And they said unto him Lord he hath ten pounds .

1926  For I say unto you That unto every one which hath shall be 
given and from him that hath not even that he hath shall be 
taken away from him .

1927  But those mine enemies which would not that I should reign 
over them bring hither and slay them before me .

1928  And when he had thus spoken he went before ascending up to 
Jerusalem .

1929  And it came to pass when he was come nigh to Bethphage and 
Bethany at the mount called the mount of Olives he sent two of 
his disciples .

1930  Saying Go ye into the village over against you in the 
which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied whereon yet 
never man sat loose him and bring him hither .

1931  And if any man ask you Why do ye loose him thus shall ye 
say unto him Because the Lord hath need of him .

1932  And they that were sent went their way and found even as 
he had said unto them .

1933  And as they were loosing the colt the owners thereof said 
unto them Why loose ye the colt .

1934  And they said The Lord hath need of him .

1935  And they brought him to Jesus and they cast their garments 
upon the colt and they set Jesus thereon .

1936  And as he went they spread their clothes in the way .

1937  And when he was come nigh even now at the descent of the 
mount of Olives the whole multitude of the disciples began to 
rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty 
works that they had seen .

1938  Saying Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the 
Lord peace in heaven and glory in the highest .

1939  And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said 
unto him Master rebuke thy disciples .

1940  And he answered and said unto them I tell you that if 
these should hold their peace the stones would immediately cry 
out .

1941  And when he was come near he beheld the city and wept over 
it .

1942  Saying If thou hadst known even thou at least in this thy 
day the things which belong unto thy peace but now they are hid 
from thine eyes .

1943  For the days shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall 
cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in 
on every side .

1944  And shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children 
within thee and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon 
another because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation .

1945  And he went into the temple and began to cast out them 
that sold therein and them that bought .

1946  Saying unto them It is written My house is the house of 
prayer but ye have made it a den of thieves .

1947  And he taught daily in the temple But the chief priests 
and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy 
him .

1948  And could not find what they might do for all the people 
were very attentive to hear him .

* 201  And it came to pass that on one of those days as he 
taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel the 
chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders .

202  And spake unto him saying Tell us by what authority doest 
thou these things or who is he that gave thee this authority .

203  And he answered and said unto them I will also ask you one 
thing and answer me .

204  The baptism of John was it from heaven or of men .

205  And they reasoned with themselves saying If we shall say 
From heaven he will say Why then believed ye him not .

206  But and if we say Of men all the people will stone us for 
they be persuaded that John was a prophet .

207  And they answered that they could not tell whence it was .

208  And Jesus said unto them Neither tell I you by what 
authority I do these things .

209  Then began he to speak to the people this parable A certain 
man planted a vineyard and let it forth to husbandmen and went 
into a far country for a long time .

2010  And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that 
they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard but the 
husbandmen beat him and sent him away empty .

2011  And again he sent another servant and they beat him also 
and entreated him shamefully and sent him away empty .

2012  And again he sent a third and they wounded him also and 
cast him out .

2013  Then said the lord of the vineyard What shall I do I will 
send my beloved son it may be they will reverence him when they 
see him .

2014  But when the husbandmen saw him they reasoned among 
themselves saying This is the heir come let us kill him that the 
inheritance may be ours .

2015  So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him What 
therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them .

2016  He shall come and destroy these husbandmen and shall give 
the vineyard to others And when they heard it they said God 
forbid .

2017  And he beheld them and said What is this then that is 
written The stone which the builders rejected the same is become 
the head of the corner .

2018  Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken but 
on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder .

2019  And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought 
to lay hands on him and they feared the people for they 
perceived that he had spoken this parable against them .

2020  And they watched him and sent forth spies which should 
feign themselves just men that they might take hold of his words 
that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of 
the governor .

2021  And they asked him saying Master we know that thou sayest 
and teachest rightly neither acceptest thou the person of any 
but teachest the way of God truly .

2022  Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar or no .

2023  But he perceived their craftiness and said unto them Why 
tempt ye me .

2024  Shew me a penny Whose image and superscription hath it 
They answered and said Caesar's .

2025  And he said unto them Render therefore unto Caesar the 
things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be God's .

2026  And they could not take hold of his words before the 
people and they marvelled at his answer and held their peace .

2027  Then came to him certain of the Sadducees which deny that 
there is any resurrection and they asked him .

2028  Saying Master Moses wrote unto us If any man's brother die 
having a wife and he die without children that his brother 
should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother .

2029  There were therefore seven brethren and the first took a 
wife and died without children .

2030  And the second took her to wife and he died childless .

2031  And the third took her and in like manner the seven also 
and they left no children and died .

2032  Last of all the woman died also .

2033  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she 
for seven had her to wife .

2034  And Jesus answering said unto them The children of this 
world marry and are given in marriage .

2035  But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that 
world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are 
given in marriage .

2036  Neither can they die any more for they are equal unto the 
angels and are the children of God being the children of the 
resurrection .

2037  Now that the dead are raised even Moses shewed at the bush 
when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac 
and the God of Jacob .

2038  For he is not a God of the dead but of the living for all 
live unto him .

2039  Then certain of the scribes answering said Master thou 
hast well said .

2040  And after that they durst not ask him any question at all .

2041  And he said unto them How say they that Christ is David's 
son .

2042  And David himself saith in the book of Psalms The Lord 
said unto my Lord Sit thou on my right hand .

2043  Till I make thine enemies thy footstool .

2044  David therefore calleth him Lord how is he then his son .

2045  Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his 
disciples .

2046  Beware of the scribes which desire to walk in long robes 
and love greetings in the markets and the highest seats in the 
synagogues and the chief room at feasts .

2047  Which devour widows' houses and for a shew make long 
prayers the same shall receive greater damnation .

* 211  And he looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts 
into the treasury .

212  And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two 
mites .

213  And he said Of a truth I say unto you that this poor widow 
hath cast in more than they all .

214  For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the 
offerings of God but she of her penury hath cast in all the 
living that she had .

215  And as some spake of the temple how it was adorned with 
goodly stones and gifts he said .

216  As for these things which ye behold the days will come in 
the which there shall not be left one stone upon another that 
shall not be thrown down .

217  And they asked him saying Master but when shall these 
things be and what sign will there be when these things shall 
come to pass .

218  And he said Take heed that ye be not deceived for many 
shall come in my name saying I am Christ and the time draweth 
near go ye not therefore after them .

219  But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions be not 
terrified for these things must first come to pass but the end 
is not by and by .

2110  Then said he unto them Nation shall rise against nation 
and kingdom against kingdom .

2111  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places and 
famines and pestilences and fearful sights and great signs shall 
there be from heaven .

2112  But before all these they shall lay their hands on you and 
persecute you delivering you up to the synagogues and into 
prisons being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake 
.

2113  And it shall turn to you for a testimony .

2114  Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate before 
what ye shall answer .

2115  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your 
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist .

2116  And ye shall be betrayed both by parents and brethren and 
kinsfolks and friends and some of you shall they cause to be put 
to death .

2117  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake .

2118  But there shall not an hair of your head perish .

2119  In your patience possess ye your souls .

2120  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies then 
know that the desolation thereof is nigh .

2121  Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains 
and let them which are in the midst of it depart out and let not 
them that are in the countries enter thereinto .

2122  For these be the days of vengeance that all things which 
are written may be fulfilled .

2123  But woe unto them that are with child and to them that 
give suck in those days for there shall be great distress in the 
land and wrath upon this people .

2124  And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be 
led away captive into all nations and Jerusalem shall be trodden 
down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be 
fulfilled .

2125  And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in 
the stars and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity 
the sea and the waves roaring .

2126  Men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after 
those things which are coming on the earth for the powers of 
heaven shall be shaken .

2127  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud 
with power and great glory .

2128  And when these things begin to come to pass then look up 
and lift up your heads for your redemption draweth nigh .

2129  And he spake to them a parable Behold the fig tree and all 
the trees .

2130  When they now shoot forth ye see and know of your own 
selves that summer is now nigh at hand .

2131  So likewise ye when ye see these things come to pass know 
ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand .

2132  Verily I say unto you This generation shall not pass away 
till all be fulfilled .

2133  Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not 
pass away .

2134  And take heed to yourselves lest at any time your hearts 
be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this 
life and so that day come upon you unawares .

2135  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the 
face of the whole earth .

2136  Watch ye therefore and pray always that ye may be 
accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to 
pass and to stand before the Son of man .

2137  And in the day time he was teaching in the temple and at 
night he went out and abode in the mount that is called the 
mount of Olives .

2138  And all the people came early in the morning to him in the 
temple for to hear him .

* 221  Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh which is 
called the Passover .

222  And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might 
kill him for they feared the people .

223  Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot being of 
the number of the twelve .

224  And he went his way and communed with the chief priests and 
captains how he might betray him unto them .

225  And they were glad and covenanted to give him money .

226  And he promised and sought opportunity to betray him unto 
them in the absence of the multitude .

227  Then came the day of unleavened bread when the passover 
must be killed .

228  And he sent Peter and John saying Go and prepare us the 
passover that we may eat .

229  And they said unto him Where wilt thou that we prepare .

2210  And he said unto them Behold when ye are entered into the 
city there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water 
follow him into the house where he entereth in .

2211  And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house The Master 
saith unto thee Where is the guestchamber where I shall eat the 
passover with my disciples .

2212  And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished there 
make ready .

2213  And they went and found as he had said unto them and they 
made ready the passover .

2214  And when the hour was come he sat down and the twelve 
apostles with him .

2215  And he said unto them With desire I have desired to eat 
this passover with you before I suffer .

2216  For I say unto you I will not any more eat thereof until 
it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God .

2217  And he took the cup and gave thanks and said Take this and 
divide it among yourselves .

2218  For I say unto you I will not drink of the fruit of the 
vine until the kingdom of God shall come .

2219  And he took bread and gave thanks and brake it and gave 
unto them saying This is my body which is given for you this do 
in remembrance of me .

2220  Likewise also the cup after supper saying This cup is the 
new testament in my blood which is shed for you .

2221  But behold the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on 
the table .

2222  And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined but 
woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed .

2223  And they began to inquire among themselves which of them 
it was that should do this thing .

2224  And there was also a strife among them which of them 
should be accounted the greatest .

2225  And he said unto them The kings of the Gentiles exercise 
lordship over them and they that exercise authority upon them 
are called benefactors .

2226  But ye shall not be so but he that is greatest among you 
let him be as the younger and he that is chief as he that doth 
serve .

2227  For whether is greater he that sitteth at meat or he that 
serveth is not he that sitteth at meat but I am among you as he 
that serveth .

2228  Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations 
.

2229  And I appoint unto you a kingdom as my Father hath 
appointed unto me .

2230  That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and 
sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel .

2231  And the Lord said Simon Simon behold Satan hath desired to 
have you that he may sift you as wheat .

2232  But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not and 
when thou art converted strengthen thy brethren .

2233  And he said unto him Lord I am ready to go with thee both 
into prison and to death .

2234  And he said I tell thee Peter the cock shall not crow this 
day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me .

2235  And he said unto them When I sent you without purse and 
scrip and shoes lacked ye any thing And they said Nothing .

2236  Then said he unto them But now he that hath a purse let 
him take it and likewise his scrip and he that hath no sword let 
him sell his garment and buy one .

2237  For I say unto you that this that is written must yet be 
accomplished in me And he was reckoned among the transgressors 
for the things concerning me have an end .

2238  And they said Lord behold here are two swords And he said 
unto them It is enough .

2239  And he came out and went as he was wont to the mount of 
Olives and his disciples also followed him .

2240  And when he was at the place he said unto them Pray that 
ye enter not into temptation .

2241  And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast and 
kneeled down and prayed .

2242  Saying Father if thou be willing remove this cup from me 
nevertheless not my will but thine be done .

2243  And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven 
strengthening him .

2244  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly and his 
sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the 
ground .

2245  And when he rose up from prayer and was come to his 
disciples he found them sleeping for sorrow .

2246  And said unto them Why sleep ye rise and pray lest ye 
enter into temptation .

2247  And while he yet spake behold a multitude and he that was 
called Judas one of the twelve went before them and drew near 
unto Jesus to kiss him .

2248  But Jesus said unto him Judas betrayest thou the Son of 
man with a kiss .

2249  When they which were about him saw what would follow they 
said unto him Lord shall we smite with the sword .

2250  And one of them smote the servant of the high priest and 
cut off his right ear .

2251  And Jesus answered and said Suffer ye thus far And he 
touched his ear and healed him .

2252  Then Jesus said unto the chief priests and captains of the 
temple and the elders which were come to him Be ye come out as 
against a thief with swords and staves .

2253  When I was daily with you in the temple ye stretched forth 
no hands against me but this is your hour and the power of 
darkness .

2254  Then took they him and led him and brought him into the 
high priest's house And Peter followed afar off .

2255  And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall 
and were set down together Peter sat down among them .

2256  But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire and 
earnestly looked upon him and said This man was also with him .

2257  And he denied him saying Woman I know him not .

2258  And after a little while another saw him and said Thou art 
also of them And Peter said Man I am not .

2259  And about the space of one hour after another confidently 
affirmed saying Of a truth this fellow also was with him for he 
is a Galilaean .

2260  And Peter said Man I know not what thou sayest And 
immediately while he yet spake the cock crew .

2261  And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter And Peter 
remembered the word of the Lord how he had said unto him Before 
the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice .

2262  And Peter went out and wept bitterly .

2263  And the men that held Jesus mocked him and smote him .

2264  And when they had blindfolded him they struck him on the 
face and asked him saying Prophesy who is it that smote thee .

2265  And many other things blasphemously spake they against him 
.

2266  And as soon as it was day the elders of the people and the 
chief priests and the scribes came together and led him into 
their council saying .

2267  Art thou the Christ tell us And he said unto them If I 
tell you ye will not believe .

2268  And if I also ask you ye will not answer me nor let me go .

2269  Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of 
the power of God .

2270  Then said they all Art thou then the Son of God And he 
said unto them Ye say that I am .

2271  And they said What need we any further witness for we 
ourselves have heard of his own mouth .

* 231  And the whole multitude of them arose and led him unto 
Pilate .

232  And they began to accuse him saying We found this fellow 
perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar 
saying that he himself is Christ a King .

233  And Pilate asked him saying Art thou the King of the Jews 
And he answered him and said Thou sayest it .

234  Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people I 
find no fault in this man .

235  And they were the more fierce saying He stirreth up the 
people teaching throughout all Jewry beginning from Galilee to 
this place .

236  When Pilate heard of Galilee he asked whether the man were 
a Galilaean .

237  And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's 
jurisdiction he sent him to Herod who himself also was at 
Jerusalem at that time .

238  And when Herod saw Jesus he was exceeding glad for he was 
desirous to see him of a long season because he had heard many 
things of him and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him 
.

239  Then he questioned with him in many words but he answered 
him nothing .

2310  And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently 
accused him .

2311  And Herod with his men of war set him at nought and mocked 
him and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe and sent him again to 
Pilate .

2312  And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends 
together for before they were at enmity between themselves .

2313  And Pilate when he had called together the chief priests 
and the rulers and the people .

2314  Said unto them Ye have brought this man unto me as one 
that perverteth the people and behold I having examined him 
before you have found no fault in this man touching those things 
whereof ye accuse him .

2315  No nor yet Herod for I sent you to him and lo nothing 
worthy of death is done unto him .

2316  I will therefore chastise him and release him .

2317  (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the 
feast .

2318  And they cried out all at once saying Away with this man 
and release unto us Barabbas .

2319  (Who for a certain sedition made in the city and for 
murder was cast into prison .

2320  Pilate therefore willing to release Jesus spake again to 
them .

2321  But they cried saying Crucify him crucify him .

2322  And he said unto them the third time Why what evil hath he 
done I have found no cause of death in him I will therefore 
chastise him and let him go .

2323  And they were instant with loud voices requiring that he 
might be crucified And the voices of them and of the chief 
priests prevailed .

2324  And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they 
required .

2325  And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder 
was cast into prison whom they had desired but he delivered 
Jesus to their will .

2326  And as they led him away they laid hold upon one Simon a 
Cyrenian coming out of the country and on him they laid the 
cross that he might bear it after Jesus .

2327  And there followed him a great company of people and of 
women which also bewailed and lamented him .

2328  But Jesus turning unto them said Daughters of Jerusalem 
weep not for me but weep for yourselves and for your children .

2329  For behold the days are coming in the which they shall say 
Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bare and the 
paps which never gave suck .

2330  Then shall they begin to say to the mountains Fall on us 
and to the hills Cover us .

2331  For if they do these things in a green tree what shall be 
done in the dry .

2332  And there were also two other malefactors led with him to 
be put to death .

2333  And when they were come to the place which is called 
Calvary there they crucified him and the malefactors one on the 
right hand and the other on the left .

2334  Then said Jesus Father forgive them for they know not what 
they do And they parted his raiment and cast lots .

2335  And the people stood beholding And the rulers also with 
them derided him saying He saved others let him save himself if 
he be Christ the chosen of God .

2336  And the soldiers also mocked him coming to him and 
offering him vinegar .

2337  And saying If thou be the king of the Jews save thyself .

2338  And a superscription also was written over him in letters 
of Greek and Latin and Hebrew THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS .

2339  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him 
saying If thou be Christ save thyself and us .

2340  But the other answering rebuked him saying Dost not thou 
fear God seeing thou art in the same condemnation .

2341  And we indeed justly for we receive the due reward of our 
deeds but this man hath done nothing amiss .

2342  And he said unto Jesus Lord remember me when thou comest 
into thy kingdom .

2343  And Jesus said unto him Verily I say unto thee To day 
shalt thou be with me in paradise .

2344  And it was about the sixth hour and there was a darkness 
over all the earth until the ninth hour .

2345  And the sun was darkened and the veil of the temple was 
rent in the midst .

2346  And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice he said Father 
into thy hands I commend my spirit and having said thus he gave 
up the ghost .

2347  Now when the centurion saw what was done he glorified God 
saying Certainly this was a righteous man .

2348  And all the people that came together to that sight 
beholding the things which were done smote their breasts and 
returned .

2349  And all his acquaintance and the women that followed him 
from Galilee stood afar off beholding these things .

2350  And behold there was a man named Joseph a counsellor and 
he was a good man and a just .

2351  (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of 
them he was of Arimathaea a city of the Jews who also himself 
waited for the kingdom of God .

2352  This man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Jesus .

2353  And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and laid it in 
a sepulchre that was hewn in stone wherein never man before was 
laid .

2354  And that day was the preparation and the sabbath drew on .

2355  And the women also which came with him from Galilee 
followed after and beheld the sepulchre and how his body was 
laid .

2356  And they returned and prepared spices and ointments and 
rested the sabbath day according to the commandment .

* 241  Now upon the first day of the week very early in the 
morning they came unto the sepulchre bringing the spices which 
they had prepared and certain others with them .

242  And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre .

243  And they entered in and found not the body of the Lord 
Jesus .

244  And it came to pass as they were much perplexed thereabout 
behold two men stood by them in shining garments .

245  And as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the 
earth they said unto them Why seek ye the living among the dead .

246  He is not here but is risen remember how he spake unto you 
when he was yet in Galilee .

247  Saying The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of 
sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again .

248  And they remembered his words .

249  And returned from the sepulchre and told all these things 
unto the eleven and to all the rest .

2410  It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of 
James and other women that were with them which told these 
things unto the apostles .

2411  And their words seemed to them as idle tales and they 
believed them not .

2412  Then arose Peter and ran unto the sepulchre and stooping 
down he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves and departed 
wondering in himself at that which was come to pass .

2413  And behold two of them went that same day to a village 
called Emmaus which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs 
.

2414  And they talked together of all these things which had 
happened .

2415  And it came to pass that while they communed together and 
reasoned Jesus himself drew near and went with them .

2416  But their eyes were holden that they should not know him .

2417  And he said unto them What manner of communications are 
these that ye have one to another as ye walk and are sad .

2418  And the one of them whose name was Cleopas answering said 
unto him Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem and hast not 
known the things which are come to pass there in these days .

2419  And he said unto them What things And they said unto him 
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth which was a prophet mighty in deed 
and word before God and all the people .

2420  And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to 
be condemned to death and have crucified him .

2421  But we trusted that it had been he which should have 
redeemed Israel and beside all this to day is the third day 
since these things were done .

2422  Yea and certain women also of our company made us 
astonished which were early at the sepulchre .

2423  And when they found not his body they came saying that 
they had also seen a vision of angels which said that he was 
alive .

2424  And certain of them which were with us went to the 
sepulchre and found it even so as the women had said but him 
they saw not .

2425  Then he said unto them O fools and slow of heart to 
believe all that the prophets have spoken .

2426  Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to 
enter into his glory .

2427  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets he expounded 
unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself .

2428  And they drew nigh unto the village whither they went and 
he made as though he would have gone further .

2429  But they constrained him saying Abide with us for it is 
toward evening and the day is far spent And he went in to tarry 
with them .

2430  And it came to pass as he sat at meat with them he took 
bread and blessed it and brake and gave to them .

2431  And their eyes were opened and they knew him and he 
vanished out of their sight .

2432  And they said one to another Did not our heart burn within 
us while he talked with us by the way and while he opened to us 
the scriptures .

2433  And they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem 
and found the eleven gathered together and them that were with 
them .

2434  Saying The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon 
.

2435  And they told what things were done in the way and how he 
was known of them in breaking of bread .

2436  And as they thus spake Jesus himself stood in the midst of 
them and saith unto them Peace be unto you .

2437  But they were terrified and affrighted and supposed that 
they had seen a spirit .

2438  And he said unto them Why are ye troubled and why do 
thoughts arise in your hearts .

2439  Behold my hands and my feet that it is I myself handle me 
and see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have .

2440  And when he had thus spoken he shewed them his hands and 
his feet .

2441  And while they yet believed not for joy and wondered he 
said unto them Have ye here any meat .

2442  And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and of an 
honeycomb .

2443  And he took it and did eat before them  .

2444  And he said unto them These are the words which I spake 
unto you while I was yet with you that all things must be 
fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the 
prophets and in the psalms concerning me .

2445  Then opened he their understanding that they might 
understand the scriptures .

2446  And said unto them Thus it is written and thus it behoved 
Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day .

2447  And that repentance and remission of sins should be 
preached in his name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem .

2448  And ye are witnesses of these things .

2449  And behold I send the promise of my Father upon you but 
tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power 
from on high .

2450  And he led them out as far as to Bethany and he lifted up 
his hands and blessed them .

2451  And it came to pass while he blessed them he was parted 
from them and carried up to heaven .

2452  And they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with 
great joy .

2453  And were continually in the temple praising and blessing 
God Amen .
