12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an
innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one
upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all,
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
neither hid, that shall not be known.
12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be
heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in
closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that
kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him,
which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I
say unto you, Fear him.
12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one
of them is forgotten before God?
12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men,
him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before
the angels of God.
12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man,
it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against
the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and [unto]
magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye
shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what
ye ought to say.
12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my
brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a
divider over you?
12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of
covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance
of the things which he possesseth.
12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a
certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,
because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns,
and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my
goods.
12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods
laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be
merry.
12:20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be,
which thou hast provided?
12:21 So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is
not rich toward God.
12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you,
Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for
the body, what ye shall put on.
12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body [is more] than
raiment.
12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which
neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much
more are ye better than the fowls?
12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his
stature one cubit?
12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least,
why take ye thought for the rest?
12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they
spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.
12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the
field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will
he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
neither be ye of doubtful mind.
12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek
after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the kingdom.
12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags
which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not,
where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning;
12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord,
when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and
knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
12:37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he
cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall
gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come
forth and serve them.
12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the
third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.
12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known
what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not
have suffered his house to be broken through.
12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at
an hour when ye think not.
12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this
parable unto us, or even to all?
12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise
steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to
give [them their] portion of meat in due season?
12:43 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.
12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler
over all that he hath.
12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and
maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he
looketh not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and
will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with
the unbelievers.
12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and
prepared not [himself], neither did according to his will, shall
be beaten with many [stripes].
12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of
stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever
much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men
have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if
it be already kindled?
12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I
