LU-1:1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a

declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

LU-1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were

eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

LU-1:3 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,

LU-1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou

hast been instructed.

LU-1:5 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.

LU-1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the

commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

LU-1:7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they

both were [now] well stricken in years.

LU-1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before

God in the order of his course,

LU-1:9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn

incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

LU-1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the

time of incense.

LU-1:11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the

right side of the altar of incense.

LU-1:12 And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear fell upon

him.

LU-1:13 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.

LU-1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his

birth.

LU-1:15 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.

LU-1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their

God.

LU-1:17 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.

LU-1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I

am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

LU-1:19 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.

LU-1:20 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.

LU-1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so

long in the temple.

LU-1:22 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.

LU-1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration

were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

LU-1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself

five months, saying,

LU-1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on

[me], to take away my reproach among men.

LU-1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a

city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

LU-1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of

David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.

LU-1:28 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.

LU-1:29 And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in

her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

LU-1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found

favour with God.

LU-1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,

and shalt call his name JESUS.

LU-1:32 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:

LU-1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his

kingdom there shall be no end.

LU-1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a

man?

LU-1:35 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.

LU-1:36 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.

LU-1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

LU-1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me

according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

LU-1:39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with

haste, into a city of Juda;

LU-1:40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

LU-1:41 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:

LU-1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou

among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.

LU-1:43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to

me?

LU-1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears,

the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

LU-1:45 And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance

of those things which were told her from the Lord.

LU-1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

LU-1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

LU-1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold,

from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

LU-1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy [is] his

name.

LU-1:50 And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from generation to

generation.

LU-1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in

the imagination of their hearts.

LU-1:52 He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of

low degree.

LU-1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent

empty away.

LU-1:54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of [his] mercy;

LU-1:55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

LU-1:56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own

house.

LU-1:57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she

brought forth a son.

LU-1:58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed

great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

LU-1:59 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.

LU-1:60 And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he shall be called

John.

LU-1:61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called

by this name.

LU-1:62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.

LU-1:63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is

John. And they marvelled all.

LU-1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he

spake, and praised God.

LU-1:65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these

sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.

LU-1:66 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.

LU-1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and

prophesied, saying,

LU-1:68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed

his people,

LU-1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his

servant David;

LU-1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since

the world began:

LU-1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all

that hate us;

LU-1:72 To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember his

holy covenant;

LU-1:73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

LU-1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand

of our enemies might serve him without fear,

LU-1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

LU-1:76 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;

LU-1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of

their sins,

LU-1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on

high hath visited us,

LU-1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shadow of

death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

LU-1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the

deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

LU-2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from

Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

LU-2:2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of

Syria.)

LU-2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

LU-2:4 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:)

LU-2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

LU-2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished

that she should be delivered.

LU-2:7 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.

LU-2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,

keeping watch over their flock by night.

LU-2:9 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.

LU-2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good

tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

LU-2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which

is Christ the Lord.

LU-2:12 And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped

in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

LU-2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly

host praising God, and saying,

LU-2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward

men.

LU-2:15 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.

LU-2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe

lying in a manger.

LU-2:17 And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which

was told them concerning this child.

LU-2:18 And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told

them by the shepherds.

LU-2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.

LU-2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the

things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

LU-2:21 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.

LU-2:22 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;

LU-2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the

womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

LU-2:24 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.

LU-2:25 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.

LU-2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not

see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

LU-2:27 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,

LU-2:28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

LU-2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy

word:

LU-2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

LU-2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

LU-2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

LU-2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken

of him.

LU-2:34 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;

LU-2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the

thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

LU-2:36 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;

LU-2:37 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.

LU-2:38 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.

LU-2:39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the

Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

LU-2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom:

and the grace of God was upon him.

LU-2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the

passover.

LU-2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the

custom of the feast.

LU-2:43 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].

LU-2:44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's

journey; and they sought him among [their] kinsfolk and acquaintance.

LU-2:45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem,

seeking him.

LU-2:46 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.

LU-2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and

answers.

LU-2:48 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.

LU-2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that

I must be about my Father's business?

LU-2:50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

LU-2:51 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.

LU-2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and

man.

LU-3:1 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,

LU-3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto

John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

LU-3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism

of repentance for the remission of sins;

LU-3:4 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.

LU-3:5 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;

LU-3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

LU-3:7 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?

LU-3:8 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.

LU-3:9 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.

LU-3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

LU-3:11 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.

LU-3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master,

what shall we do?

LU-3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed

you.

LU-3:14 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.

LU-3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their

hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

LU-3:16 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:

LU-3:17 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.

LU-3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

LU-3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his

brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

LU-3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

LU-3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus

also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

LU-3:22 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.

LU-3:23 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,

LU-3:24 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 [the son] of

Joseph,

LU-3:25 Which was [the son] of Mattathias, which was [the son] of Amos, which

was [the son] of Naum, which was [the son] of Esli, which was [the son] of

Nagge,

LU-3:26 Which was [the son] of Maath, which was [the son] of Mattathias,

which was [the son] of Semei, which was [the son] of Joseph, which was [the

son] of Juda,

LU-3:27 Which was [the son] of Joanna, which was [the son] of Rhesa, which

was [the son] of Zorobabel, which was [the son] of Salathiel, which was [the

son] of Neri,

LU-3:28 Which was [the son] of Melchi, which was [the son] of Addi, which was

[the son] of Cosam, which was [the son] of Elmodam, which was [the son] of Er,

LU-3:29 Which was [the son] of Jose, which was [the son] of Eliezer, which

was [the son] of Jorim, which was [the son] of Matthat, which was [the son] of

Levi,

LU-3:30 Which was [the son] of Simeon, which was [the son] of Juda, which was

[the son] of Joseph, which was [the son] of Jonan, which was [the son] of

Eliakim,

LU-3:31 Which was [the son] of Melea, which was [the son] of Menan, which was

[the son] of Mattatha, which was [the son] of Nathan, which was [the son] of

David,

LU-3:32 Which was [the son] of Jesse, which was [the son] of Obed, which was

[the son] of Booz, which was [the son] of Salmon, which was [the son] of

Naasson,

LU-3:33 Which was [the son] of Aminadab, which was [the son] of Aram, which

was [the son] of Esrom, which was [the son] of Phares, which was [the son] of

Juda,

LU-3:34 Which was [the son] of Jacob, which was [the son] of Isaac, which was

[the son] of Abraham, which was [the son] of Thara, which was [the son] of

Nachor,

LU-3:35 Which was [the son] of Saruch, which was [the son] of Ragau, which

was [the son] of Phalec, which was [the son] of Heber, which was [the son] of

Sala,

LU-3:36 Which was [the son] of Cainan, which was [the son] of Arphaxad, which

was [the son] of Sem, which was [the son] of Noe, which was [the son] of

Lamech,

LU-3:37 Which was [the son] of Mathusala, which was [the son] of Enoch, which

was [the son] of Jared, which was [the son] of Maleleel, which was [the son]

of Cainan,

LU-3:38 Which was [the son] of Enos, which was [the son] of Seth, which was

[the son] of Adam, which was [the son] of God.

LU-4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was

led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

LU-4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat

nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

LU-4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this

stone that it be made bread.

LU-4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live

by bread alone, but by every word of God.

LU-4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him

all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

LU-4:6 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.

LU-4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

LU-4:8 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.

LU-4:9 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:

LU-4:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep

thee:

LU-4:11 And in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou

dash thy foot against a stone.

LU-4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt

the Lord thy God.

LU-4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him

for a season.

LU-4:14 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.

LU-4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

LU-4:16 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.

LU-4:17 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,

LU-4:18 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,

LU-4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

LU-4:20 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.

LU-4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled

in your ears.

LU-4:22 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?

LU-4:23 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.

LU-4:24 And he said, Verily, I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his

own country.

LU-4:25 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;

LU-4:26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, [a city] of

Sidon, unto a woman [that was] a widow.

LU-4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet;

and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

LU-4:28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were

filled with wrath,

LU-4:29 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.

LU-4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

LU-4:31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the

sabbath days.

LU-4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with

power.

LU-4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an

unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

LU-4:34 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.

LU-4:35 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.

LU-4:36 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.

LU-4:37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round

about.

LU-4:38 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.

LU-4:39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and

immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

LU-4:40 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.

LU-4:41 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.

LU-4:42 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.

LU-4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other

cities also: for therefore am I sent.

LU-4:44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

LU-5:1 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,

LU-5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone

out of them, and were washing [their] nets.

LU-5:3 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.

LU-5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the

deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

LU-5:5 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.

LU-5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of

fishes: and their net brake.

LU-5:7 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.

LU-5:8 When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,

Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

LU-5:9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of

the fishes which they had taken:

LU-5:10 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.

LU-5:11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and

followed him.

LU-5:12 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.

LU-5:13 And he put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou

clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

LU-5:14 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.

LU-5:15 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.

LU-5:16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

LU-5:17 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.

LU-5:18 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.

LU-5:19 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.

LU-5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are

forgiven thee.

LU-5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is

this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

LU-5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them,

What reason ye in your hearts?

LU-5:23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise

up and walk?

LU-5:24 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.

LU-5:25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he

lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

LU-5:26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled

with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

LU-5:27 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.

LU-5:28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

LU-5:29 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.

LU-5:30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples,

saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

LU-5:31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a

physician; but they that are sick.

LU-5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

LU-5:33 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?

LU-5:34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber

fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

LU-5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from

them, and then shall they fast in those days.

LU-5:36 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.

LU-5:37 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.

LU-5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

LU-5:39 No man also having drunk old [wine] straightway desireth new: for he

saith, The old is better.

LU-6:1 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.

LU-6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is

not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

LU-6:3 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;

LU-6:4 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?

LU-6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the

sabbath.

LU-6:6 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.

LU-6:7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on

the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

LU-6:8 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.

LU-6:9 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]?

LU-6:10 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.

LU-6:11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what

they might do to Jesus.

LU-6:12 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.

LU-6:13 And when it was day, he called [unto him] his disciples: and of them

he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

LU-6:14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and

John, Philip and Bartholomew,

LU-6:15 Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon called

Zelotes,

LU-6:16 And Judas [the brother] of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was

the traitor.

LU-6:17 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;

LU-6:18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

LU-6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue

out of him, and healed [them] all.

LU-6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [be ye]

poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

LU-6:21 Blessed [are ye] that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed

[are ye] that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

LU-6:22 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.

LU-6:23 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.

LU-6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your

consolation.

LU-6:25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that

laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

LU-6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their

fathers to the false prophets.

LU-6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them

which hate you,

LU-6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use

you.

LU-6:29 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.

LU-6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away

thy goods ask [them] not again.

LU-6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them

likewise.

LU-6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners

also love those that love them.

LU-6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye?

for sinners also do even the same.

LU-6:34 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.

LU-6:35 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.

LU-6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

LU-6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not

be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

LU-6:38 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.

LU-6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall

they not both fall into the ditch?

LU-6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect

shall be as his master.

LU-6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but

perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

LU-6:42 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.

LU-6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a

corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

LU-6:44 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.

LU-6:45 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.

LU-6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

LU-6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I

will shew you to whom he is like:

LU-6:48 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.

LU-6:49 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.

LU-7:1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people,

he entered into Capernaum.

LU-7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick,

and ready to die.

LU-7:3 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.

LU-7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That

he was worthy for whom he should do this:

LU-7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

LU-7:6 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:

LU-7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say

in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

LU-7:8 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].

LU-7:9 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.

LU-7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant

whole that had been sick.

LU-7:11 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.

LU-7:12 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.

LU-7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto

her, Weep not.

LU-7:14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare [him] stood

still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

LU-7:15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him

to his mother.

LU-7:16 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.

LU-7:17 And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and

throughout all the region round about.

LU-7:18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

LU-7:19 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?

LU-7:20 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?

LU-7:21 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.

LU-7:22 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.

LU-7:23 And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.

LU-7:24 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?

LU-7:25 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.

LU-7:26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and

much more than a prophet.

LU-7:27 This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger

before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

LU-7:28 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.

LU-7:29 And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans, justified

God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

LU-7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against

themselves, being not baptized of him.

LU-7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this

generation? and to what are they like?

LU-7:32 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.

LU-7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and

ye say, He hath a devil.

LU-7:34 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!

LU-7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

LU-7:36 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.

LU-7:37 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,

LU-7:38 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.

LU-7:39 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.

LU-7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto

thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

LU-7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five

hundred pence, and the other fifty.

LU-7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell

me therefore, which of them will love him most?

LU-7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom he forgave

most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

LU-7:44 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.

LU-7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath

not ceased to kiss my feet.

LU-7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed

my feet with ointment.

LU-7:47 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.

LU-7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

LU-7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves,

Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

LU-7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

LU-8:1 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,

LU-8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and

infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

LU-8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many

others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

LU-8:4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out

of every city, he spake by a parable:

LU-8:5 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.

LU-8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it

withered away, because it lacked moisture.

LU-8:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and

choked it.

LU-8:8 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.

LU-8:9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

LU-8:10 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.

LU-8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

LU-8:12 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.

LU-8:13 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.

LU-8:14 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.

LU-8:15 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.

LU-8:16 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.

LU-8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any

thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

LU-8:18 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.

LU-8:19 Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and could not come at

him for the press.

LU-8:20 And it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother and thy

brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

LU-8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are

these which hear the word of God, and do it.

LU-8:22 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.

LU-8:23 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.

LU-8:24 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.

LU-8:25 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.

LU-8:26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over

against Galilee.

LU-8:27 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.

LU-8:28 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.

LU-8:29 (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.)

LU-8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion:

because many devils were entered into him.

LU-8:31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into

the deep.

LU-8:32 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.

LU-8:33 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.

LU-8:34 When they that fed [them] saw what was done, they fled, and went and

told [it] in the city and in the country.

LU-8:35 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.

LU-8:36 They also which saw [it] told them by what means he that was

possessed of the devils was healed.

LU-8:37 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.

LU-8:38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he

might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

LU-8:39 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.

LU-8:40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people

[gladly] received him: for they were all waiting for him.

LU-8:41 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:

LU-8:42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay

a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

LU-8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent

all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

LU-8:44 Came behind [him], and touched the border of his garment: and

immediately her issue of blood stanched.

LU-8:45 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?

LU-8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue

is gone out of me.

LU-8:47 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.

LU-8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath

made thee whole; go in peace.

LU-8:49 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.

LU-8:50 But when Jesus heard [it], he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe

only, and she shall be made whole.

LU-8:51 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.

LU-8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not

dead, but sleepeth.

LU-8:53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

LU-8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,

saying, Maid, arise.

LU-8:55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he

commanded to give her meat.

LU-8:56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should

tell no man what was done.

LU-9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and

authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

LU-9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

LU-9:3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither

staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats

apiece.

LU-9:4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

LU-9:5 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.

LU-9:6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel,

and healing every where.

LU-9:7 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;

LU-9:8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the

old prophets was risen again.

LU-9:9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear

such things? And he desired to see him.

LU-9:10 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.

LU-9:11 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.

LU-9:12 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.

LU-9:13 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.

LU-9:14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples,

Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

LU-9:15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

LU-9:16 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.

LU-9:17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of

fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

LU-9:18 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?

LU-9:19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elias; and

others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.

LU-9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said,

The Christ of God.

LU-9:21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man

that thing;

LU-9:22 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.

LU-9:23 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.

LU-9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will

lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

LU-9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose

himself, or be cast away?

LU-9:26 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.

LU-9:27 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.

LU-9:28 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.

LU-9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his

raiment [was] white [and] glistering.

LU-9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and

Elias:

LU-9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should

accomplish at Jerusalem.

LU-9:32 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.

LU-9:33 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.

LU-9:34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and

they feared as they entered into the cloud.

LU-9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved

Son: hear him.

LU-9:36 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.

LU-9:37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down

from the hill, much people met him.

LU-9:38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I

beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

LU-9:39 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.

LU-9:40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

LU-9:41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how

long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

LU-9:42 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.

LU-9:43 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,

LU-9:44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall

be delivered into the hands of men.

LU-9:45 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.

LU-9:46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be

greatest.

LU-9:47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and

set him by him,

LU-9:48 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.

LU-9:49 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.

LU-9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against

us is for us.

LU-9:51 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,

LU-9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into

a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

LU-9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would

go to Jerusalem.

LU-9:54 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?

LU-9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of

spirit ye are of.

LU-9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save

[them]. And they went to another village.

LU-9:57 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.

LU-9:58 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.

LU-9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me

first to go and bury my father.

LU-9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and

preach the kingdom of God.

LU-9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go

bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

LU-9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough,

and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

LU-10:1 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.

LU-10:2 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.

LU-10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

LU-10:4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the

way.

LU-10:5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this

house.

LU-10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if

not, it shall turn to you again.

LU-10:7 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.

LU-10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such

things as are set before you:

LU-10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of

God is come nigh unto you.

LU-10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your

ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

LU-10:11 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.

LU-10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for

Sodom, than for that city.

LU-10:13 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.

LU-10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment,

than for you.

LU-10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust

down to hell.

LU-10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth

me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

LU-10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the

devils are subject unto us through thy name.

LU-10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

LU-10:19 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.

LU-10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject

unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

LU-10:21 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.

LU-10:22 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].

LU-10:23 And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed

[are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:

LU-10:24 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].

LU-10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying,

Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

LU-10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

LU-10:27 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.

LU-10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou

shalt live.

LU-10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my

neighbour?

LU-10:30 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.

LU-10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he

saw him, he passed by on the other side.

LU-10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked [on

him], and passed by on the other side.

LU-10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and

when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],

LU-10:34 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.

LU-10:35 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.

LU-10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that

fell among the thieves?

LU-10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him,

Go, and do thou likewise.

LU-10:38 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.

LU-10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and

heard his word.

LU-10:40 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.

LU-10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art

careful and troubled about many things:

LU-10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which

shall not be taken away from her.

LU-11:1 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.

LU-11:2 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.

LU-11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.

LU-11:4 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.

LU-11:5 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;

LU-11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing

to set before him?

LU-11:7 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.

LU-11:8 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.

LU-11:9 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.

LU-11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;

and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

LU-11:11 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?

LU-11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

LU-11:13 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?

LU-11:14 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.

LU-11:15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the

chief of the devils.

LU-11:16 And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.

LU-11:17 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.

LU-11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom

stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

LU-11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast

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

LU-11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the

kingdom of God is come upon you.

LU-11:21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

LU-11:22 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.

LU-11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with

me scattereth.

LU-11:24 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.

LU-11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and garnished.

LU-11:26 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.

LU-11:27 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.

LU-11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of

God, and keep it.

LU-11:29 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.

LU-11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of

man be to this generation.

LU-11:31 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.

LU-11:32 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.

LU-11:33 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.

LU-11:34 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.

LU-11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

LU-11:36 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.

LU-11:37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him:

and he went in, and sat down to meat.

LU-11:38 And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he had not first

washed before dinner.

LU-11:39 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.

LU-11:40 [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without make that

which is within also?

LU-11:41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all

things are clean unto you.

LU-11:42 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.

LU-11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the

synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

LU-11:44 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].

LU-11:45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus

saying thou reproachest us also.

LU-11:46 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.

LU-11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your

fathers killed them.

LU-11:48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for

they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

LU-11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and

apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute:

LU-11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the

foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

LU-11:51 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.

LU-11:52 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.

LU-11:53 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:

LU-11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his

mouth, that they might accuse him.

LU-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.

LU-12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither

hid, that shall not be known.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is

forgotten before God?

LU-12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not

therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

LU-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:

LU-12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels

of God.

LU-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.

LU-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:

LU-12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to

say.

LU-12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother,

that he divide the inheritance with me.

LU-12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over

you?

LU-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.

LU-12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain

rich man brought forth plentifully:

LU-12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I

have no room where to bestow my fruits?

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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?

LU-12:21 So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich

toward God.

LU-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.

LU-12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body [is more] than raiment.

LU-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?

LU-12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one

cubit?

LU-12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye

thought for the rest?

LU-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.

LU-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?

LU-12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither

be ye of doubtful mind.

LU-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.

LU-12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be

added unto you.

LU-12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to

give you the kingdom.

LU-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.

LU-12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

LU-12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning;

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour

when ye think not.

LU-12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us,

or even to all?

LU-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?

LU-12:43 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find

so doing.

LU-12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that

he hath.

LU-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;

LU-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.

LU-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].

LU-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.

LU-12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be

already kindled?

LU-12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened

till it be accomplished!

LU-12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay;

but rather division:

LU-12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three

against two, and two against three.

LU-12:53 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.

LU-12:54 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.

LU-12:55 And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat;

and it cometh to pass.

LU-12:56 [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?

LU-12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

LU-12:58 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.

LU-12:59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the

very last mite.

LU-13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of the

Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

LU-13:2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans

were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

LU-13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

LU-13:4 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?

LU-13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

LU-13:6 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.

LU-13:7 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?

LU-13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also,

till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:

LU-13:9 And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou

shalt cut it down.

LU-13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

LU-13:11 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].

LU-13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and said unto her,

Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

LU-13:13 And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she was made

straight, and glorified God.

LU-13:14 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.

LU-13:15 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?

LU-13:16 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?

LU-13:17 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.

LU-13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto

shall I resemble it?

LU-13:19 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.

LU-13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

LU-13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of

meal, till the whole was leavened.

LU-13:22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and

journeying toward Jerusalem.

LU-13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he

said unto them,

LU-13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you,

will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

LU-13:25 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:

LU-13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence,

and thou hast taught in our streets.

LU-13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart

from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

LU-13:28 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.

LU-13:29 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.

LU-13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are

first which shall be last.

LU-13:31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him,

Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

LU-13:32 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.

LU-13:33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day]

following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

LU-13:34 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!

LU-13:35 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.

LU-14:1 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.

LU-14:2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

LU-14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is

it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

LU-14:4 And they held their peace. And he took [him], and healed him, and let

him go;

LU-14:5 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?

LU-14:6 And they could not answer him again to these things.

LU-14:7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked

how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,

LU-14:8 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;

LU-14:9 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.

LU-14:10 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.

LU-14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth

himself shall be exalted.

LU-14:12 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.

LU-14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame,

the blind:

LU-14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou

shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

LU-14:15 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.

LU-14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade

many:

LU-14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden,

Come; for all things are now ready.

LU-14:18 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.

LU-14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove

them: I pray thee have me excused.

LU-14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot

come.

LU-14:21 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.

LU-14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast

LU-14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and

yet there is room.

LU-14:23 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.

LU-14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall

taste of my supper.

LU-14:25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said

unto them,

LU-14:26 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.

LU-14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be

my disciple.

LU-14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down

first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]?

LU-14:29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to

finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,

LU-14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

LU-14:31 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?

LU-14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an

ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

LU-14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he

hath, he cannot be my disciple.

LU-14:34 Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith

shall it be seasoned?

LU-14:35 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.

LU-15:1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear

him.

LU-15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth

sinners, and eateth with them.

LU-15:3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

LU-15:4 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?

LU-15:5 And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders,

rejoicing.

LU-15:6 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.

LU-15:7 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.

LU-15:8 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]?

LU-15:9 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.

LU-15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels

of God over one sinner that repenteth.

LU-15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:

LU-15:12 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.

LU-15:13 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.

LU-15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;

and he began to be in want.

LU-15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he

sent him into his fields to feed swine.

LU-15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the

swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

LU-15:17 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!

LU-15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I

have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

LU-15:19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy

hired servants.

LU-15:20 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.

LU-15:21 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.

LU-15:22 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:

LU-15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it]; and let us eat, and

be merry:

LU-15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is

found. And they began to be merry.

LU-15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to

the house, he heard music and dancing.

LU-15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things

meant.

LU-15:27 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.

LU-15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father

out, and entreated him.

LU-15:29 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:

LU-15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living

with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

LU-15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I

have is thine.

LU-15:32 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.

LU-16:1 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.

LU-16:2 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.

LU-16:3 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.

LU-16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship,

they may receive me into their houses.

LU-16:5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors [unto him], and said

unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

LU-16:6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take

thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

LU-16:7 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.

LU-16:8 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.

LU-16:9 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.

LU-16:10 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.

LU-16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,

who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?

LU-16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who

shall give you that which is your own?

LU-16:13 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.

LU-16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things:

and they derided him.

LU-16:15 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.

LU-16:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the

kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

LU-16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of

the law to fail.

LU-16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth

adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband

committeth adultery.

LU-16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine

linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

LU-16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his

gate, full of sores,

LU-16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich

man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

LU-16:22 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;

LU-16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth

Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

LU-16:24 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.

LU-16:25 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.

LU-16:26 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.

LU-16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send

him to my father's house:

LU-16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they

also come into this place of torment.

LU-16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them

hear them.

LU-16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the

dead, they will repent.

LU-16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets,

neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

LU-17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences

will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come!

LU-17:2 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.

LU-17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke

him; and if he repent, forgive him.

LU-17:4 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.

LU-17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

LU-17:6 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.

LU-17:7 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?

LU-17:8 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?

LU-17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were

commanded him? I trow not.

LU-17:10 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.

LU-17:11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through

the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

LU-17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that

were lepers, which stood afar off:

LU-17:13 And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have

mercy on us.

LU-17:14 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.

LU-17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and

with a loud voice glorified God,

LU-17:16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he

was a Samaritan.

LU-17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where

[are] the nine?

LU-17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this

stranger.

LU-17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee

whole.

LU-17:20 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:

LU-17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the

kingdom of God is within you.

LU-17:22 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].

LU-17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after

[them], nor follow [them].

LU-17:24 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.

LU-17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this

generation.

LU-17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of

the Son of man.

LU-17:27 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.

LU-17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they

drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

LU-17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and

brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.

LU-17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

LU-17:31 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.

LU-17:32 Remember Lot's wife.

LU-17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever

shall lose his life shall preserve it.

LU-17:34 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.

LU-17:35 Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and

the other left.

LU-17:36 Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the

other left.

LU-17:37 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.

LU-18:1 And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always

to pray, and not to faint;

LU-18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither

regarded man:

LU-18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying,

Avenge me of mine adversary.

LU-18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself,

Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

LU-18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her

continual coming she weary me.

LU-18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

LU-18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto

him, though he bear long with them?

LU-18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the

Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

LU-18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves

that they were righteous, and despised others:

LU-18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the

other a publican.

LU-18:11 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.

LU-18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

LU-18:13 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.

LU-18:14 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.

LU-18:15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them:

but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.

LU-18:16 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.

LU-18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of

God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

LU-18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do

to inherit eternal life?

LU-18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good,

save one, [that is], God.

LU-18:20 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.

LU-18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

LU-18:22 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.

LU-18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

LU-18:24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly

shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

LU-18:25 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.

LU-18:26 And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?

LU-18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible

with God.

LU-18:28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

LU-18:29 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,

LU-18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the

world to come life everlasting.

LU-18:31 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.

LU-18:32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked,

and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

LU-18:33 And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third

day he shall rise again.

LU-18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid

from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

LU-18:35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a

certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

LU-18:36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

LU-18:37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

LU-18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have mercy on me.

LU-18:39 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.

LU-18:40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when

he was come near, he asked him,

LU-18:41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord,

that I may receive my sight.

LU-18:42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved

thee.

LU-18:43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying

God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God.

LU-19:1 And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.

LU-19:2 And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief

among the publicans, and he was rich.

LU-19:3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press,

because he was little of stature.

LU-19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him:

for he was to pass that [way].

LU-19:5 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.

LU-19:6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

LU-19:7 And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone

to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

LU-19:8 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.

LU-19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house,

forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

LU-19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

LU-19:11 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.

LU-19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to

receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

LU-19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and

said unto them, Occupy till I come.

LU-19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We

will not have this [man] to reign over us.

LU-19:15 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.

LU-19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

LU-19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast

been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

LU-19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five

pounds.

LU-19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

LU-19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I

have kept laid up in a napkin:

LU-19:21 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.

LU-19:22 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:

LU-19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my

coming I might have required mine own with usury?

LU-19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and

give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.

LU-19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

LU-19:26 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.

LU-19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over

them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.

LU-19:28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to

Jerusalem.

LU-19:29 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,

LU-19:30 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].

LU-19:31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say

unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

LU-19:32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had

said unto them.

LU-19:33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto

them, Why loose ye the colt?

LU-19:34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

LU-19:35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the

colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

LU-19:36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

LU-19:37 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;

LU-19:38 Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord:

peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

LU-19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him,

Master, rebuke thy disciples.

LU-19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should

hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

LU-19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

LU-19:42 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.

LU-19:43 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,

LU-19:44 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.

LU-19:45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold

therein, and them that bought;

LU-19:46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer:

but ye have made it a den of thieves.

LU-19:47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the

scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

LU-19:48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very

attentive to hear him.

LU-20:1 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,

LU-20:2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou

these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

LU-20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing;

and answer me:

LU-20:4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

LU-20:5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From

heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

LU-20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be

persuaded that John was a prophet.

LU-20:7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was].

LU-20:8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do

these things.

LU-20:9 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.

LU-20:10 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.

LU-20:11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and

entreated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.

LU-20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him]

out.

LU-20:13 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.

LU-20:14 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.

LU-20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What

therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

LU-20:16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the

vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, God forbid.

LU-20:17 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?

LU-20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on

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

LU-20:19 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.

LU-20:20 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.

LU-20:21 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:

LU-20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

LU-20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye

me?

LU-20:24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They

answered and said, Caesar's.

LU-20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which

be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

LU-20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and

they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

LU-20:27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there

is any resurrection; and they asked him,

LU-20:28 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.

LU-20:29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and

died without children.

LU-20:30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

LU-20:31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they

left no children, and died.

LU-20:32 Last of all the woman died also.

LU-20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven

had her to wife.

LU-20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world

marry, and are given in marriage:

LU-20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and

the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

LU-20:36 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.

LU-20:37 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.

LU-20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live

unto him.

LU-20:39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well

said.

LU-20:40 And after that they durst not ask him any [question at all].

LU-20:41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

LU-20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my

Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

LU-20:43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

LU-20:44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

LU-20:45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

LU-20:46 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;

LU-20:47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the

same shall receive greater damnation.

LU-21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the

treasury.

LU-21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

LU-21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath

cast in more than they all:

LU-21:4 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.

LU-21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly

stones and gifts, he said,

LU-21:6 [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.

LU-21:7 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?

LU-21:8 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.

LU-21:9 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.

LU-21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and

kingdom against kingdom:

LU-21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and

pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

LU-21:12 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.

LU-21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

LU-21:14 Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye

shall answer:

LU-21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries

shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

LU-21:16 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.

LU-21:17 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.

LU-21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

LU-21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

LU-21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know

that the desolation thereof is nigh.

LU-21:21 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.

LU-21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are

written may be fulfilled.

LU-21:23 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.

LU-21:24 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.

LU-21:25 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;

LU-21:26 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.

LU-21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power

and great glory.

LU-21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift

up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

LU-21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the

trees;

LU-21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that

summer is now nigh at hand.

LU-21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that

the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

LU-21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all

be fulfilled.

LU-21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

LU-21:34 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.

LU-21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of

the whole earth.

LU-21:36 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.

LU-21:37 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.

LU-21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple,

for to hear him.

LU-22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the

Passover.

LU-22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for

they feared the people.

LU-22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number

of the twelve.

LU-22:4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and

captains, how he might betray him unto them.

LU-22:5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

LU-22:6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in

the absence of the multitude.

LU-22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be

killed.

LU-22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover,

that we may eat.

LU-22:9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

LU-22:10 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.

LU-22:11 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?

LU-22:12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make

ready.

LU-22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made

ready the passover.

LU-22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles

with him.

LU-22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this

passover with you before I suffer:

LU-22:16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be

fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

LU-22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and

divide [it] among yourselves:

LU-22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until

the kingdom of God shall come.

LU-22:19 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.

LU-22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new

testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

LU-22:21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the

table.

LU-22:22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto

that man by whom he is betrayed!

LU-22:23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was

that should do this thing.

LU-22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be

accounted the greatest.

LU-22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship

over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

LU-22:26 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.

LU-22:27 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.

LU-22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

LU-22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto

me;

LU-22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on

thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

LU-22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired [to

have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:

LU-22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou

art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

LU-22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into

prison, and to death.

LU-22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day,

before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

LU-22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and

shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

LU-22:36 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.

LU-22:37 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.

LU-22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said unto

them, It is enough.

LU-22:39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives;

and his disciples also followed him.

LU-22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter

not into temptation.

LU-22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled

down, and prayed,

LU-22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me:

nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

LU-22:43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

LU-22:44 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.

LU-22:45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he

found them sleeping for sorrow,

LU-22:46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into

temptation.

LU-22:47 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.

LU-22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a

kiss?

LU-22:49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto

him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

LU-22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off

his right ear.

LU-22:51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his

ear, and healed him.

LU-22:52 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?

LU-22:53 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.

LU-22:54 Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him into the high

priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

LU-22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were

set down together, Peter sat down among them.

LU-22:56 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.

LU-22:57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

LU-22:58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of

them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

LU-22:59 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.

LU-22:60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately,

while he yet spake, the cock crew.

LU-22:61 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.

LU-22:62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

LU-22:63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote [him].

LU-22:64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and

asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

LU-22:65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

LU-22:66 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,

LU-22:67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you,

ye will not believe:

LU-22:68 And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go.

LU-22:69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of

God.

LU-22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto

them, Ye say that I am.

LU-22:71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves

have heard of his own mouth.

LU-23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

LU-23:2 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.

LU-23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he

answered him and said, Thou sayest [it].

LU-23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no

fault in this man.

LU-23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people,

teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

LU-23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a

Galilaean.

LU-23:7 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.

LU-23:8 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.

LU-23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him

nothing.

LU-23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

LU-23:11 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.

LU-23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for

before they were at enmity between themselves.

LU-23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the

rulers and the people,

LU-23:14 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:

LU-23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of

death is done unto him.

LU-23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].

LU-23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

LU-23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man], and

release unto us Barabbas:

LU-23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was

cast into prison.)

LU-23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

LU-23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.

LU-23:22 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.

LU-23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be

crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

LU-23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

LU-23:25 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.

LU-23:26 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.

LU-23:27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women,

which also bewailed and lamented him.

LU-23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not

for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

LU-23:29 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.

LU-23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to

the hills, Cover us.

LU-23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in

the dry?

LU-23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put

to death.

LU-23:33 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.

LU-23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they

do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

LU-23:35 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.

LU-23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him

vinegar,

LU-23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

LU-23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek,

and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

LU-23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying,

If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

LU-23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God,

seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

LU-23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds:

but this man hath done nothing amiss.

LU-23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy

kingdom.

LU-23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou

be with me in paradise.

LU-23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all

the earth until the ninth hour.

LU-23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the

midst.

LU-23:46 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.

LU-23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,

Certainly this was a righteous man.

LU-23:48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the

things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

LU-23:49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from

Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

LU-23:50 And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a counsellor; [and he

was] a good man, and a just:

LU-23:51 (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.

LU-23:52 This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

LU-23:53 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.

LU-23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

LU-23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed

after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

LU-23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the

sabbath day according to the commandment.

LU-24:1 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.

LU-24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

LU-24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

LU-24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold,

two men stood by them in shining garments:

LU-24:5 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?

LU-24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he

was yet in Galilee,

LU-24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful

men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

LU-24:8 And they remembered his words,

LU-24:9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the

eleven, and to all the rest.

LU-24:10 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.

LU-24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them

not.

LU-24:12 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.

LU-24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called

Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem [about] threescore furlongs.

LU-24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

LU-24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed [together] and

reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

LU-24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

LU-24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications [are] these

that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

LU-24:18 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?

LU-24:19 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:

LU-24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be

condemned to death, and have crucified him.

LU-24:21 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.

LU-24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which

were early at the sepulchre;

LU-24:23 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.

LU-24:24 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.

LU-24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all

that the prophets have spoken:

LU-24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into

his glory?

LU-24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them

in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

LU-24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made

as though he would have gone further.

LU-24:29 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.

LU-24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and

blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them.

LU-24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out

of their sight.

LU-24:32 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?

LU-24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found

the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

LU-24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

LU-24:35 And they told what things [were done] in the way, and how he was

known of them in breaking of bread.

LU-24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them,

and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

LU-24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had

seen a spirit.

LU-24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts

arise in your hearts?

LU-24:39 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.

LU-24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them [his] hands and [his]

feet.

LU-24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto

them, Have ye here any meat?

LU-24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

LU-24:43 And he took [it], and did eat before them.

LU-24:44 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.

LU-24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the

scriptures,

LU-24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ

to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

LU-24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his

name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

LU-24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

LU-24:49 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.

LU-24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his

hands, and blessed them.

LU-24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them,

and carried up to heaven.

LU-24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy;

LU-24:53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.

Amen.
