  And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.


text:
  And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.


text:

  from Decapolis, and

  men shall revile you, and persecute
  you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

text:
  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.


text:
  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.


text:
  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach
  them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.


text:
  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed
  the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.


text:
  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:


text:
  But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.


text:
  Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;


text:
  Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.


text:
  Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.


text:
  Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.


text:
  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.


text:
  And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast
  it
   from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
  that thy whole body should be cast into hell.


text:
  And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
  that thy whole body should be cast into hell.


text:
  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.


text:
  Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:


text:
  Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.


text:
  But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.


text:
  But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.


text:
  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;


text:
  That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.


text:
  Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.


text:
  Therefore when thou doest
  thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.


text:
  That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.


text:
  And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
  are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.


text:
  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.


text:
  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen
  do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.


text:
  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.


text:
  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


text:
  Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.


text:
  That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.


text:
  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:


text:
  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:


text:
  The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.


text:
  But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
  is
   that darkness!


text:
  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


text:
  Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?


text:
  Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?


text:
  And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:


text:
  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven,
  shall he not much more
  clothe you, O ye of little faith?


text:
  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?


text:
  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.


text:
  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.


text:
  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
  is the evil thereof.


text:
  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.


text:
  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?


text:
  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam
  is in thine own eye?


text:
  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.


text:
  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.


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


text:
  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?


text:
  Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.


text:
  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide
  is the gate, and broad
  is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:


text:
  Because strait
  is the gate, and narrow
  is
   the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


text:
  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.


text:
  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.


text:
  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?


text:
  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:


text:
  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.


text:
  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:


text:
  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.


text:
  And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:


text:
  And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.


text:
  And Jesus put forth
  his hand, and touched him, saying,
  I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.


text:
  And Jesus saith unto him,
  See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.


text:
  The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.


text:
  For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this
  man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth
  it.


text:
  When Jesus heard
  it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed,
  Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.


text:
  And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.


text:
  But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


text:
  And Jesus said unto the centurion,
  Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.


text:
  When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with
  his word, and healed all that were sick:


text:
  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare
  our sicknesses.


text:
  And Jesus saith unto him,
  The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air
  have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay
  his head.


text:
  And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.


text:
  And he saith unto them,
  Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.


text:
  But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!


text:
  And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.


text:
  And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?


text:
  So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.


text:
  And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.


text:
  And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought
  him that he would depart out of their coasts.


text:
  And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy;
  Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.


text:
  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,)
  Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.


text:
  But when the multitudes saw
  it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.


text:
  And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him,
  Follow me.
   And he arose, and followed him.


text:
  And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.


text:
  And when the Pharisees saw
  it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?


text:
  But when Jesus heard
  that, he said unto them,
  They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.


text:
  But go ye and learn what
  that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.


text:
  Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?


text:
  And Jesus said unto them,
  Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.


text:
  No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.


text:
  Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.


text:
  While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.


text:
  And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind
  him, and touched the hem of his garment:


text:
  But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
  Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.


text:
  He said unto them,
  Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.


text:
  And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying,
  Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.


text:
  And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them,
  Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.


text:
  And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.


text:
  And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.


text:
  But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.


text:
  And when he had called unto
  him his twelve disciples, he gave them power
  against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.


text:
  Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James
  the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;


text:
  Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James
  the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;


text:
  These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,
  Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into
  any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:


text:
  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.


text:
  Nor scrip for
  your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.


text:
  And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.


text:
  And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.


text:
  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.


text:
  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.


text:
  But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;


text:
  And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.


text:
  But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.


text:
  And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against
  their
   parents, and cause them to be put to death.


text:
  And ye shall be hated of all
  men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.


text:
  But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.


text:
  It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more
  shall they call them of his household?


text:
  Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.


text:
  What I tell you in darkness,
  that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear,
  that preach ye upon the housetops.


text:
  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.


text:
  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.


text:
  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.


text:
  For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.


text:
  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.


text:
  He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.


text:
  And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold
  water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.


text:
  And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.


text:
  The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.


text:
  And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John,
  What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?


text:
  But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft
  clothing are in kings’ houses.


text:
  For this is
  he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.


text:
  And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.


text:
  But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,


text:
  And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.


text:
  The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.


text:
  Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:


text:
  Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.


text:
  But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.


text:
  And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.


text:
  But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.


text:
  At that time Jesus answered and said,
  I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.


text:
  All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and
  he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
  him.


text:
  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.


text:
  At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.


text:
  But when the Pharisees saw
  it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.


text:
  But he said unto them,
  Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;


text:
  How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?


text:
  Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?


text:
  But if ye had known what
  this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.


text:
  And, behold, there was a man which had
  his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift
  it out?


text:
  Then saith he to the man,
  Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched
  it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.


text:
  But when Jesus knew
  it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;


text:
  Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.


text:
  A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.


text:
  Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.


text:
  But when the Pharisees heard
  it, they said, This
  fellow
   doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.


text:
  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them,
  Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:


text:
  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast
  them out? therefore they shall be your judges.


text:
  Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.


text:
  Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy
  against the
  Holy
   Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.


text:
  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the
  world to come.


text:
  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by
  his fruit.


text:
  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.


text:
  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.


text:
  But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.


text:
  Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.


text:
  But he answered and said unto them,
  An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:


text:
  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.


text:
  The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas
  is here.


text:
  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon
  is here.


text:
  When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.


text:
  Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth
  it empty, swept, and garnished.


text:
  Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last
  state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.


text:
  While he yet talked to the people, behold,
  his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.


text:
  Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.


text:
  For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.


text:
  And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.


text:
  Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:


text:
  But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.


text:
  He answered and said unto them,
  Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.


text:
  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.


text:
  Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.


text:
  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:


text:
  For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and
  their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with
  their eyes, and hear with
  their ears, and should understand with
  their
   heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.


text:
  For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous
  men have desired to see
  those things which ye see, and have not seen
  them; and to hear
  those things which ye hear, and have not heard
  them.


text:
  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth
  it not, then cometh the wicked
  one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.


text:
  But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;


text:
  Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.


text:
  He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.


text:
  But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth
  it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.


text:
  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
  The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:


text:
  So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?


text:
  He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?


text:
  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.


text:
  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
  The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:


text:
  Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.


text:
  Another parable spake he unto them;
  The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.


text:
  All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:


text:
  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.


text:
  Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.


text:
  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked
  one;


text:
  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.


text:
  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.


text:
  The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;


text:
  Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.


text:
  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.


text:
  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:


text:
  Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.


text:
  So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,


text:
  Then said he unto them,
  Therefore every scribe
  which is
   instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man
  that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure
  things new and old.


text:
  And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this
  man this wisdom, and
  these mighty works?


text:
  Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?


text:
  And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.


text:
  And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.


text:
  For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put
  him
   in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.


text:
  And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.


text:
  And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.


text:
  And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded
  it to be given
  her.


text:
  When Jesus heard
  of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard
  thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.


text:
  And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.


text:
  And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.


text:
  And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to
  his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.


text:
  And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.


text:
  And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.


text:
  And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.


text:
  And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.


text:
  And he said,
  Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.


text:
  But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.


text:
  And immediately Jesus stretched forth
  his hand, and caught him, and said unto him,
  O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?


text:
  Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.


text:
  And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;


text:
  And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.


text:
  Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.


text:
  But he answered and said unto them,
  Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?


text:
  For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.


text:
  But ye say, Whosoever shall say to
  his father or
  his mother,
  It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;


text:
  And honour not his father or his mother,
  he shall be free.
   Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.


text:
  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with
  their lips; but their heart is far from me.


text:
  Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.


text:
  Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?


text:
  But he answered and said,
  Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.


text:
  Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.


text:
  Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?


text:
  For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:


text:
  And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord,
  thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.


text:
  But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.


text:
  Then Jesus answered and said unto her,
  O woman, great
  is
   thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.


text:
  And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.


text:
  And great multitudes came unto him, having with them
  those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:


text:
  Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.


text:
  Then Jesus called his disciples
  unto him, and said,
  I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.


text:
  And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?


text:
  And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake
  them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.


text:
  And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken
  meat that was left seven baskets full.


text:
  The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.


text:
  He answered and said unto them,
  When it is evening, ye say,
  It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.


text:
  And in the morning,
  It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O
  ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not
  discern the signs of the times?


text:
  A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.


text:
  Then Jesus said unto them,
  Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.


text:
  Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them,
  O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?


text:
  Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?


text:
  How is it that ye do not understand that I spake
  it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?


text:
  Then understood they how that he bade
  them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.


text:
  When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,
  Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?


text:
  And they said, Some
  say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.


text:
  And Jesus answered and said unto him,
  Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed
  it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.


text:
  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.


text:
  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.


text:
  From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.


text:
  Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.


text:
  But he turned, and said unto Peter,
  Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.


text:
  Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
  If any
  man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.


text:
  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.


text:
  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?


text:
  For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.


text:
  And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,


text:
  And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.


text:
  Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.


text:
  While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.


text:
  And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying,
  Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.


text:
  But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.


text:
  And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a
  certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,


text:
  Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.


text:
  Then Jesus answered and said,
  O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.


text:
  And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.


text:
  And Jesus said unto them,
  Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.


text:
  And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them,
  The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:


text:
  And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute
  money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?


text:
  He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying,
  What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?


text:
  Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.


text:
  At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?


text:
  And said,
  Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.


text:
  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.


text:
  But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and
  that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.


text:
  Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!


text:
  Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast
  them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.


text:
  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast
  it
   from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.


text:
  Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.


text:
  How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?


text:
  And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that
  sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.


text:
  Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.


text:
  Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.


text:
  But if he will not hear
  thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.


text:
  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell
  it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.


text:
  Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.


text:
  Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?


text:
  Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.


text:
  But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.


text:
  The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.


text:
  But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took
  him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.


text:
  And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.


text:
  So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.


text:
  Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:


text:
  And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.


text:
  So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.


text:
  And it came to pass,
  that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;


text:
  The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?


text:
  And he answered and said unto them,
  Have ye not read, that he which made
  them at the beginning made them male and female,


text:
  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?


text:
  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.


text:
  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?


text:
  He saith unto them,
  Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.


text:
  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
  it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.


text:
  For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
  their
   mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive
  it, let him receive
  it.


text:
  Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put
  his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.


text:
  But Jesus said,
  Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.


text:
  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?


text:
  And he said unto him,
  Why callest thou me good?
  there is
   none good but one,
  that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.


text:
  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said,
  Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,


text:
  Jesus said unto him,
  If thou wilt be perfect, go
  and
   sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come
  and follow me.


text:
  Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
  Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.


text:
  And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.


text:
  But Jesus beheld
  them, and said unto them,
  With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.


text:
  Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?


text:
  And Jesus said unto them,
  Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.


text:
  And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.


text:
  For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man
  that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.


text:
  And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.


text:
  And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?


text:
  They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right,
  that shall ye receive.


text:
  So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them
  their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.


text:
  But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.


text:
  Saying, These last have wrought
  but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.


text:
  But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?


text:
  Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,


text:
  And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify
  him: and the third day he shall rise again.


text:
  Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping
  him, and desiring a certain thing of him.


text:
  And he said unto her,
  What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.


text:
  But Jesus answered and said,
  Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.


text:
  And he saith unto them,
  Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but
  it shall be given to them
   for whom it is prepared of my Father.


text:
  But Jesus called them
  unto him, and said,
  Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.


text:
  Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.


text:
  And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord,
  thou
   Son of David.


text:
  And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord,
  thou
   Son of David.


text:
  So Jesus had compassion
  on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.


text:
  And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,


text:
  Saying unto them,
  Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose
  them,
   and bring
  them unto me.


text:
  And if any
  man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.


text:
  Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.


text:
  And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed
  them in the way.


text:
  And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed
  is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.


text:
  And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,


text:
  And said unto them,
  It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.


text:
  And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,


text:
  And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them,
  Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?


text:
  And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it,
  Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.


text:
  Jesus answered and said unto them,
  Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this
  which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.


text:
  And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?


text:
  And Jesus answered and said unto them,
  I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.


text:
  The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?


text:
  And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them,
  Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.


text:
  But what think ye? A
  certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.


text:
  Whether of them twain did the will of
  his father?
   They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them,
  Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.


text:
  For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen
  it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.


text:
  Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:


text:
  And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.


text:
  But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.


text:
  They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out
  his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.


text:
  Jesus saith unto them,
  Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?


text:
  Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.


text:
  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.


text:
  And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.


text:
  But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.


text:
  Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and
  my fatlings
  are killed, and all things
  are
   ready: come unto the marriage.


text:
  But when the king heard
  thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.


text:
  So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.


text:
  And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.


text:
  Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast
  him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


text:
  And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any
  man: for thou regardest not the person of men.


text:
  They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them,
  Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.


text:
  Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.


text:
  Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:


text:
  For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.


text:
  But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,


text:
  I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.


text:
  But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.


text:
  Jesus said unto him,
  Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.


text:
  And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
  man
   from that day forth ask him any more
  questions.


text:
  All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
  that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.


text:
  For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay
  them on men’s shoulders; but they
  themselves
   will not move them with one of their fingers.


text:
  But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,


text:
  And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.


text:
  But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in
  yourselves,
   neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.


text:
  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.


text:
  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.


text:
  Woe unto you,
  ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!


text:
  And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.


text:
  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier
  matters
   of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.


text:
  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.


text:
  Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that
  which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.


text:
  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
  men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.


text:
  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.


text:
  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,


text:
  And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.


text:
  Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.


text:
  Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and
  some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and
  some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
  them from city to city:


text:
  That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.


text:
  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
  thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under
  her wings, and ye would not!


text:
  For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed
  is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.


text:
  And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to
  him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.


text:
  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.


text:
  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
  shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?


text:
  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all
  these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.


text:
  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.


text:
  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.


text:
  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.


text:
  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)


text:
  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.


text:
  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.


text:
  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if
  it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.


text:
  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold,
  he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe
  it not.


text:
  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


text:
  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:


text:
  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.


text:
  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.


text:
  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:


text:
  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,


text:
  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


text:
  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.


text:
  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?


text:
  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for
  him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,


text:
  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint
  him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


text:
  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.


text:
  But the wise answered, saying,
  Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.


text:
  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.


text:
  For
  the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country,
  who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.


text:
  And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.


text:
  Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made
  them other five talents.


text:
  And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.


text:
  His lord said unto him, Well done,
  thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.


text:
  He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.


text:
  His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.


text:
  Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:


text:
  His lord answered and said unto him,
  Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:


text:
  Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and
  then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.


text:
  For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.


text:
  And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


text:
  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:


text:
  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth
  his sheep from the goats:


text:
  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:


text:
  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:


text:
  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed
  thee? or thirsty, and gave
  thee
   drink?


text:
  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done
  it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done
  it unto me.


text:
  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:


text:
  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.


text:
  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?


text:
  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did
  it not to one of the least of these, ye did
  it not to me.


text:
  Ye know that after two days is
  the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.


text:
  Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,


text:
  There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat
  at meat.


text:
  When Jesus understood
  it, he said unto them,
  Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world,
  there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.


text:
  And said
  unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.


text:
  Now the first
  day of the
  feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?


text:
  And he said,
  Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.


text:
  The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.


text:
  Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him,
  Thou hast said.


text:
  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed
  it,
   and brake
  it, and gave
  it to the disciples, and said,
  Take, eat; this is my body.


text:
  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.


text:
  Then saith Jesus unto them,
  All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.


text:
  Peter answered and said unto him, Though all
  men shall be offended because of thee,
  yet will I never be offended.


text:
  Jesus said unto him,
  Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.


text:
  Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.


text:
  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples,
  Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.


text:
  Then saith he unto them,
  My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.


text:
  And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying,
  O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
  wilt.


text:
  And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?


text:
  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed
  is willing, but the flesh
  is weak.


text:
  He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying,
  O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.


text:
  Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them,
  Sleep on now, and take
  your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.


text:
  And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.


text:
  Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.


text:
  And Jesus said unto him,
  Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.


text:
  And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out
  his
   hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.


text:
  Then said Jesus unto him,
  Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.


text:
  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?


text:
  In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes,
  Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.


text:
  But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.
  Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.


text:
  And they that had laid hold on Jesus led
  him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.


text:
  But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.


text:
  Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;


text:
  But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came,
  yet
   found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,


text:
  And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what
  is it which these witness against thee?


text:
  But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.


text:
  Jesus saith unto him,
  Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.


text:
  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.


text:
  Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote
  him with the palms of their hands,


text:
  Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.


text:
  And when he was gone out into the porch, another
  maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This
  fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.


text:
  And after a while came unto
  him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art
  one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.


text:
  And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,
  Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.


text:
  When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:


text:
  Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,


text:
  Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What
  is that to us? see thou
  to that.


text:
  And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.


text:
  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;


text:
  And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him,
  Thou sayest.


text:
  Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?


text:
  When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.


text:
  But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.


text:
  The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.


text:
  Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?
  They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.


text:
  And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.


text:
  When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but
  that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed
  his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye
  to it.


text:
  Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered
  him to be crucified.


text:
  Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band
  of soldiers.


text:
  And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put
  it
   upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!


text:
  And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify
  him.


text:
  And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.


text:
  They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted
  thereof, he would not drink.


text:
  And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.


text:
  And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest
  it
   in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.


text:
  He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.


text:
  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
  Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say,
  My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


text:
  And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled
  it with vinegar, and put
  it on a reed, and gave him to drink.


text:
  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;


text:
  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.


text:
  Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.


text:
  And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:


text:
  Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.


text:
  When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:


text:
  And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.


text:
  Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,


text:
  Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.


text:
  Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.


text:
  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first
  day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.


text:
  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.


text:
  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.


text:
  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.


text:
  And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.


text:
  And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying,
  All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.


text:
  Then said Jesus unto them,
  Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.


text:
  Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.


text:
  And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,


text:
  So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.


text:
  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:


text:
  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
  even unto the end of the world. Amen.


text:
  As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.


text:
  And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.


text:
  And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;


text:
  And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.


text:
  And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.


text:
  And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:


text:
  And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.


text:
  Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,


text:
  And saying,
  The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.


text:
  Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.


text:
  And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the
  son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.


text:
  And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.


text:
  And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.


text:
  And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.


text:
  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.


text:
  And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine
  is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.


text:
  And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.


text:
  And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.


text:
  And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.


text:
  And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.


text:
  And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.


text:
  And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.


text:
  And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth
  his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him,
  I will; be thou clean.


text:
  And saith unto him,
  See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.


text:
  But he went out, and began to publish
  it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.


text:
  And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive
  them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.


text:
  And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken
  it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.


text:
  And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them,
  Why reason ye these things in your hearts?


text:
  Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy,
  Thy
   sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?


text:
  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)


text:
  And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.


text:
  And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.


text:
  And as he passed by, he saw Levi the
  son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him,
  Follow me. And he arose and followed him.


text:
  And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.


text:
  And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?


text:
  When Jesus heard
  it, he saith unto them,
  They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.


text:
  And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?


text:
  And Jesus said unto them,
  Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.


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


text:
  No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.


text:
  And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.


text:
  And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?


text:
  How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?


text:
  And he saith unto them,
  Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.


text:
  And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man,
  Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched
  it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.


text:
  And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.


text:
  But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,


text:
  And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and
  from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.


text:
  And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.


text:
  For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.


text:
  And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.


text:
  And James the
  son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:


text:
  And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the
  son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,


text:
  And when his friends heard
  of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.


text:
  And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.


text:
  No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:


text:
  But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:


text:
  And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.


text:
  And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.


text:
  And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.


text:
  And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:


text:
  And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these
  things
   are done in parables:


text:
  That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and
  their sins should be forgiven them.


text:
  And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.


text:
  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;


text:
  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.


text:
  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.


text:
  And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive
  it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?


text:
  For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.


text:
  For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.


text:
  And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.


text:
  For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.


text:
  But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.


text:
  And he said,
  Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?


text:
  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:


text:
  But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.


text:
  But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.


text:
  And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.


text:
  And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?


text:
  And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
  Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.


text:
  And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?


text:
  And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,


text:
  Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any
  man tame him.


text:
  And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.


text:
  And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus,
  thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.


text:
  And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.


text:
  And they that fed the swine fled, and told
  it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.


text:
  And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.


text:
  And they that saw
  it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and
  also concerning the swine.


text:
  And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.


text:
  Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him,
  Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.


text:
  And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all
  men did marvel.


text:
  And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.


text:
  And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,


text:
  And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death:
  I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.


text:
  And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,


text:
  And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in
  her body that she was healed of that plague.


text:
  And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said,
  Who touched my clothes?


text:
  And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?


text:
  But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.


text:
  And he said unto her,
  Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.


text:
  While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s
  house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?


text:
  As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue,
  Be not afraid, only believe.


text:
  And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.


text:
  And when he was come in, he saith unto them,
  Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.


text:
  And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.


text:
  And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her,
  Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted,
  Damsel, I say unto thee,
  arise.


text:
  And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was
  of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.


text:
  And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.


text:
  And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing
  him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this
  man these things? and what wisdom
  is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?


text:
  Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.


text:
  But Jesus said unto them,
  A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.


text:
  And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed
  them.


text:
  And he called
  unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;


text:
  And commanded them that they should take nothing for
  their
   journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in
  their
   purse:


text:
  And he said unto them,
  In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.


text:
  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.


text:
  And king Herod heard
  of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.


text:
  For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.


text:
  For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.


text:
  And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief
  estates of Galilee;


text:
  And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give
  it thee.


text:
  And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give
  it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.


text:
  And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.


text:
  And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.


text:
  And the king was exceeding sorry;
  yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.


text:
  And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,


text:
  And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.


text:
  And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.


text:
  And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.


text:
  And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time
  is far passed:


text:
  Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.


text:
  He answered and said unto them,
  Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?


text:
  He saith unto them,
  How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.


text:
  And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave
  them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.


text:
  And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.


text:
  And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.


text:
  For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them,
  Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.


text:
  And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.


text:
  And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.


text:
  And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.


text:
  And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.


text:
  For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash
  their
   hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.


text:
  And
  when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold,
  as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.


text:
  Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?


text:
  He answered and said unto them,
  Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with
  their
   lips, but their heart is far from me.


text:
  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men,
  as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.


text:
  For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:


text:
  But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother,
  It is
   Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
  he shall be free.


text:
  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.


text:
  And when he had called all the people
  unto him, he said unto them,
  Hearken unto me every one
  of you, and understand:


text:
  There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.


text:
  And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.


text:
  And he saith unto them,
  Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man,
  it cannot defile him;


text:
  Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?


text:
  Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:


text:
  And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know
  it:
   but he could not be hid.


text:
  For a
  certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:


text:
  The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.


text:
  But Jesus said unto her,
  Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast
  it unto the dogs.


text:
  And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.


text:
  And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.


text:
  And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.


text:
  And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.


text:
  And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;


text:
  And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published
  it;


text:
  And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.


text:
  In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples
  unto him, and saith unto them,


text:
  I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:


text:
  And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.


text:
  And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these
  men with bread here in the wilderness?


text:
  And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before
  them; and they did set
  them before the people.


text:
  And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.


text:
  And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith,
  Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.


text:
  Now
  the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.


text:
  And he charged them, saying,
  Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and
  of the leaven of Herod.


text:
  And when Jesus knew
  it, he saith unto them,
  Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?


text:
  When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.


text:
  And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.


text:
  And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.


text:
  After that he put
  his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.


text:
  And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell
  it to any in the town.


text:
  And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?


text:
  And he saith unto them,
  But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.


text:
  And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and
  of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.


text:
  But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying,
  Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.


text:
  And when he had called the people
  unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.


text:
  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.


text:
  Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.


text:
  And after six days Jesus taketh
  with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.


text:
  And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.


text:
  And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.


text:
  And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.


text:
  And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.


text:
  And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.


text:
  And he answered and told them,
  Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.


text:
  But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.


text:
  And when he came to
  his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.


text:
  And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to
  him saluted him.


text:
  And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;


text:
  And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.


text:
  He answereth him, and saith,
  O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.


text:
  And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.


text:
  And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.


text:
  And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.


text:
  When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him,
  Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.


text:
  And
  the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.


text:
  And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?


text:
  For he taught his disciples, and said unto them,
  The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.


text:
  And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them,
  What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?


text:
  But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who
  should be the greatest.


text:
  And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them,
  If any man desire to be first,
  the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.


text:
  And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,


text:
  Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.


text:
  And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.


text:
  But Jesus said,
  Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.


text:
  For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.


text:
  And whosoever shall offend one of
  these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.


text:
  And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:


text:
  And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:


text:
  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:


text:
  Salt
  is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.


text:
  And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.


text:
  And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away
  his wife? tempting him.


text:
  And he saith unto them,
  Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.


text:
  And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and
  his disciples rebuked those that brought
  them.


text:
  But when Jesus saw
  it, he was much displeased, and said unto them,
  Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.


text:
  And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?


text:
  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.


text:
  Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him,
  One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.


text:
  And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples,
  How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!


text:
  And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them,
  Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!


text:
  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.


text:
  And Jesus looking upon them saith,
  With men
  it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.


text:
  And Jesus answered and said,
  Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,


text:
  But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.


text:
  And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,


text:
  Saying,Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:


text:
  And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.


text:
  And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.


text:
  They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.


text:
  But Jesus said unto them,
  Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?


text:
  And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them,
  Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:


text:
  But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but
  it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.


text:
  But Jesus called them
  to him, and saith unto them,
  Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.


text:
  For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.


text:
  And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.


text:
  And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus,
  thou Son of David, have mercy on me.


text:
  And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal,
  Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.


text:
  And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.


text:
  And Jesus answered and said unto him,
  What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.


text:
  And Jesus said unto him,
  Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.


text:
  And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,


text:
  And saith unto them,
  Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring
  him.


text:
  And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.


text:
  And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.


text:
  And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed
  them in the way.


text:
  And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed
  is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:


text:
  Blessed
  be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.


text:
  And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.


text:
  And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not
  yet.


text:
  And Jesus answered and said unto it,
  No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard
  it.


text:
  And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;


text:
  And he taught, saying unto them,
  Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.


text:
  And the scribes and chief priests heard
  it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.


text:
  And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.


text:
  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.


text:
  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive
  them, and ye shall havethem.


text:
  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.


text:
  And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,


text:
  And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?


text:
  And Jesus answered and said unto them,
  I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.


text:
  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?


text:
  But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all
  men
   counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.


text:
  And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them,
  Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.


text:
  And he began to speak unto them by parables.
  A
  certain
   man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about
  it,
   and digged
  a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.


text:
  And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.


text:
  And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded
  him in the head, and sent
  him
   away shamefully handled.


text:
  Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.


text:
  But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.


text:
  What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.


text:
  And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:


text:
  And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.


text:
  And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?


text:
  Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them,
  Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may seeit.


text:
  And they brought
  it. And he saith unto them,
  Whose
  is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s.


text:
  And Jesus answering said unto them,
  Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.


text:
  Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave
  his wife
  behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.


text:
  In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.


text:
  And Jesus answering said unto them,
  Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?


text:
  For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.


text:
  And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I
  am
   the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?


text:
  And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?


text:
  And Jesus answered him,
  The first of all the commandments
  is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:


text:
  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.


text:
  And the second
  is like,
  namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.


text:
  And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:


text:
  And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love
  his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.


text:
  And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him,
  Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him
  any question.


text:
  And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,
  How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?


text:
  For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.


text:
  David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he
  then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.


text:
  And he said unto them in his doctrine,
  Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and
  love salutations in the marketplaces,


text:
  Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.


text:
  And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.


text:
  And he called
  unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,
  Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:


text:
  For all
  they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had,
  even all her living.


text:
  And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings
  are here!


text:
  And Jesus answering said unto him,
  Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.


text:
  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,


text:
  Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
  shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?


text:
  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for
  such things must needs be; but the end
  shall not
  be yet.


text:
  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these
  are the beginnings of sorrows.


text:
  But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.


text:
  But when they shall lead
  you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.


text:
  Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against
  their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.


text:
  And ye shall be hated of all
  men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.


text:
  But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:


text:
  And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter
  therein, to take any thing out of his house:


text:
  For
  in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.


text:
  And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.


text:
  For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if
  it were possible, even the elect.


text:
  But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,


text:
  And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.


text:
  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:


text:
  So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh,
  even at the doors.


text:
  But of that day and
  that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.


text:
  For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.


text:
  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

  After two days was
  the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put
  him to death.


text:
  And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured
  it on his head.


text:
  And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?


text:
  For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.


text:
  For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world,
  this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.


text:
  And when they heard
  it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.


text:
  And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?


text:
  And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them,
  Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.


text:
  And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?


text:
  And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.


text:
  And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said,
  Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.


text:
  The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.


text:
  And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake
  it, and gave to them, and said,
  Take, eat: this is my body.


text:
  Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.


text:
  And Jesus saith unto them,
  All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.


text:
  And Jesus saith unto him,
  Verily I say unto thee, That this day,
  even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.


text:
  But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.


text:
  And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples,
  Sit ye here, while I shall pray.


text:
  And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.


text:
  And he said,
  Abba, Father, all things
  are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.


text:
  And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter,
  Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?


text:
  And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.


text:
  And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them,
  Sleep on now, and take
  your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.


text:
  And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and the scribes and the elders.


text:
  And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead
  him away safely.


text:
  And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.


text:
  And Jesus answered and said unto them,
  Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and
  with staves to take me?


text:
  I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.


text:
  And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about
  his naked
  body; and the young men laid hold on him:


text:
  And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.


text:
  And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.


text:
  And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.


text:
  We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.


text:
  And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what
  is it which these witness against thee?


text:
  But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?


text:
  And Jesus said,
  I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.


text:
  And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.


text:
  And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.


text:
  But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.


text:
  And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art
  one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth
  thereto.


text:
  And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him,
  Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.


text:
  And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried
  him away, and delivered
  him to Pilate.


text:
  And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him,
  Thou sayest
  it.


text:
  And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.


text:
  And there was
  one named Barabbas,
  which lay
   bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.


text:
  And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do
  unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?


text:
  Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.


text:
  And
  so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged
  him, to be crucified.


text:
  And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.


text:
  And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing
  their knees worshipped him.


text:
  And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.


text:
  And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.


text:
  And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.


text:
  And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest
  it in three days,


text:
  Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.


text:
  Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.


text:
  And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
  Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted,
  My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


text:
  And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put
  it
   on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.


text:
  And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.


text:
  There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;


text:
  (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.


text:
  And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,


text:
  Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.


text:
  And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling
  unto him
   the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.


text:
  And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.


text:
  And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
  mother
   of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.


text:
  And very early in the morning the first
  day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.


text:
  And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.


text:
  And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.


text:
  But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.


text:
  And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any
  man; for they were afraid.


text:
  Now when
  Jesus was risen early the first
  day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.


text:
  Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.


text:
  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;


text:
  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


text:
  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.


text:
  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with
  them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.


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


text:
  Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;


text:
  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,


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,


text:
  According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name
  was Mary.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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:


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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:


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


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


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


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


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


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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;


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


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


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


text:
  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:)


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  And this
  shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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;


text:
  (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.


text:
  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,


text:
  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;


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


text:
  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;


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among
  their kinsfolk and acquaintance.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?


text:
  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.


text:
  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,


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


text:
  And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;


text:
  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.


text:
  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;


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;


text:
  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:


text:
  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.


text:
  But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,


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


text:
  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.


text:
  And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was

text:
  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,


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


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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:


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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,


text:
  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,


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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;


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


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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,


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  When Simon Peter saw
  it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.


text:
  For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?


text:
  But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them,
  What reason ye in your hearts?


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?


text:
  And Jesus answering said unto them,
  They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.


text:
  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?


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?


text:
  And Jesus answering them said,
  Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And when it was day, he called
  unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;


text:
  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;


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  And unto him that smiteth thee on the
  one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not
  to take thy coat also.


text:
  And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:


text:
  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.


text:
  And he spake a parable unto them,
  Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?


text:
  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?


text:
  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.


text:
  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:


text:
  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:


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  And the Lord said,
  Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?


text:
  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.


text:
  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!


text:
  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.


text:
  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,


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?


text:
  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,


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


text:
  And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither
  any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  (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.)


text:
  And Jesus asked him, saying,
  What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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:


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


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


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


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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;


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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?


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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,


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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,


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


text:
  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?


text:
  For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save
  them. And they went to another village.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And he turned him unto
  his disciples, and said privately,
  Blessed
  are the eyes which see the things that ye see:


text:
  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.


text:
  And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion
  on him,


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And Jesus answered and said unto her,
  Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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;


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast
  them out? therefore shall they be your judges.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and
  some of them they shall slay and persecute:


text:
  That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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:


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:


text:
  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.


text:
  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:


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


text:
  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.


text:
  And he spake a parable unto them, saying,
  The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:


text:
  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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;


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


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


text:
  And Jesus answering said unto them,
  Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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:


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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!


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying,
  Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?


text:
  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?


text:
  And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,


text:
  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;


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have
  sufficient to finish
  it?


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


text:
  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?


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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!


text:
  I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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:


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


text:
  Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.


text:
  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.


text:
  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:


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  So he called every one of his lord’s debtors
  unto him,
   and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true
  riches?


text:
  And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:


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


text:
  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;


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  Then said he unto the disciples,
  It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe
  unto him, through whom they come!


text:
  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.


text:
  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


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


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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:


text:
  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 seeit.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;


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


text:
  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.


text:
  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;


text:
  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?


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


text:
  And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


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


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said,
  How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!


text:
  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.


text:
  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,


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


text:
  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.


text:
  For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:


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


text:
  And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:


text:
  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.


text:
  And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw
  it, gave praise unto God.


text:
  And, behold,
  there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.


text:
  And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.


text:
  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.


text:
  And when they saw
  it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.


text:
  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.


text:
  And Jesus said unto him,
  This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.


text:
  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.


text:
  He said therefore,
  A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.


text:
  And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.


text:
  But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this
  man to reign over us.


text:
  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.


text:
  And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.


text:
  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.


text:
  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:


text:
  Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?


text:
  And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give
  it to him that hath ten pounds.


text:
  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.


text:
  But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay
  them before me.


text:
  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,


text:
  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.


text:
  And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose
  him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.


text:
  And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.


text:
  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;


text:
  Saying, Blessed
  be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.


text:
  And he answered and said unto them,
  I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.


text:
  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.


text:
  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,


text:
  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.


text:
  Saying unto them,
  It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.


text:
  And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,


text:
  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,


text:
  And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?


text:
  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?


text:
  But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated
  him shamefully, and sent
  him away empty.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed
  him.
   What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?


text:
  He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard
  it, they said, God forbid.


text:
  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?


text:
  Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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:


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.


text:
  And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.


text:
  Then came to
  him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,


text:
  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.


text:
  But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,


text:
  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 rooms at feasts;


text:
  Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.


text:
  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.


text:
  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.


text:
  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.


text:
  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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;


text:
  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.


text:
  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.


text:
  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.


text:
  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.


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying,
  This cup
  is
   the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.


text:
  And the Lord said,
  Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired
  to have you, that he may sift
  you as wheat:


text:
  But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.


text:
  And he said,
  I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.


text:
  Saying,
  Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?


text:
  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?


text:
  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.


text:
  Then took they him, and led
  him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.


text:
  And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.


text:
  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.


text:
  And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.


text:
  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.


text:
  And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.


text:
  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.


text:
  And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?


text:
  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,


text:
  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.


text:
  And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said,
  Thou sayest
  it.


text:
  And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.


text:
  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:


text:
  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.


text:
  And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.


text:
  But Jesus turning unto them said,
  Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  Then said Jesus,
  Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.


text:
  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.


text:
  And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.


text:
  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.


text:
  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?


text:
  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.


text:
  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.


text:
  Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.


text:
  And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.


text:
  And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.


text:
  (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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.


text:
  And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.


text:
  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.


text:
  And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:


text:
  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?


text:
  Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem
  about threescore furlongs.


text:
  And it came to pass, that, while they communed
  together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  What manner of communications
  are
   these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?


text:
  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?


text:
  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:


text:
  And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.


text:
  And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.


text:
  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.


text:
  And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed
  it, and brake, and gave to them.


text:
  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?


text:
  And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,


text:
  And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them,
  Peace
  be unto you.


text:
  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.


text:
  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.


text:
  And said unto them,
  Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:


text:
  And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.


text:
  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.


text:
  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
  even to them that believe on his name:


text:
  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


text:
  John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.


text:
  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared
  him.


text:
  And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?


text:
  And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.


text:
  Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?


text:
  He said, I
  am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.


text:
  And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?


text:
  John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;


text:
  He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.


text:
  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.


text:
  This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.


text:
  And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.


text:
  And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.


text:
  And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.


text:
  Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them,
  What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?


text:
  He saith unto them,
  Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.


text:
  He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.


text:
  And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said,
  Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.


text:
  The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him,
  Follow me.


text:
  Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.


text:
  And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.


text:
  Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him,
  Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!


text:
  Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him,
  Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.


text:
  Jesus answered and said unto him,
  Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.


text:
  And he saith unto him,
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.


text:
  And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.


text:
  When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,


text:
  And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse:
  but thou hast kept the good wine until now.


text:
  This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.


text:
  After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.


text:
  And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:


text:
  And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;


text:
  And said unto them that sold doves,
  Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.


text:
  Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?


text:
  Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?


text:
  When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.


text:
  Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
  day,
   many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.


text:
  The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.


text:
  Jesus answered and said unto him,
  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


text:
  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?


text:
  Jesus answered,
  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and
  of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.


text:
  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.


text:
  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you
  of heavenly things?


text:
  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven,
  even the Son of man which is in heaven.


text:
  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


text:
  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


text:
  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


text:
  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.


text:
  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.


text:
  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.


text:
  After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.


text:
  And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.


text:
  And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all
  men come to him.


text:
  He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.


text:
  He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.


text:
  For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure
  unto him.


text:
  He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.


text:
  When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,


text:
  Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.


text:
  Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with
  his journey, sat thus on the well:
  and it was about the sixth hour.


text:
  Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.


text:
  Jesus answered and said unto her,
  If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.


text:
  The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?


text:
  Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?


text:
  But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.


text:
  The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her,
  Thou hast well said, I have no husband:


text:
  For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.


text:
  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.


text:
  Jesus saith unto her,
  Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.


text:
  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.


text:
  The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.


text:
  And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?


text:
  Say not ye, There are yet four months, and
  then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.


text:
  And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.


text:
  I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.


text:
  And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.


text:
  So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.


text:
  And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard
  him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.


text:
  Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.


text:
  So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.


text:
  When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.


text:
  Jesus saith unto him,
  Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.


text:
  Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.


text:
  So the father knew that
  it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him,
  Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.


text:
  Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep
  market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.


text:
  In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.


text:
  For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.


text:
  When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time
  in that case, he saith unto him,
  Wilt thou be made whole?


text:
  The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.


text:
  And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.


text:
  The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry
  thy bed.


text:
  And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in
  that place.


text:
  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him,
  Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.


text:
  And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.


text:
  Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.


text:
  Then answered Jesus and said unto them,
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.


text:
  For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.


text:
  For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth
  them;
   even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.


text:
  That all
  men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.


text:
  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,


text:
  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.


text:
  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.


text:
  There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.


text:
  But I have greater witness than
  that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.


text:
  And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.


text:
  Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.


text:
  I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.


text:
  How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that
  cometh from God only?


text:
  Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
  one that accuseth you,
  even Moses, in whom ye trust.


text:
  And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.


text:
  When Jesus then lifted up
  his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip,
  Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?


text:
  Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.


text:
  There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?


text:
  And Jesus said,
  Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.


text:
  And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.


text:
  When they were filled, he said unto his disciples,
  Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.


text:
  Therefore they gathered
  them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.


text:
  Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.


text:
  When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.


text:
  And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.


text:
  So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.


text:
  Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.


text:
  The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but
  that his disciples were gone away alone;


text:
  (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)


text:
  When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.


text:
  And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?


text:
  Jesus answered them and said,
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.


text:
  Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.


text:
  Jesus answered and said unto them,
  This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.


text:
  They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?


text:
  Then Jesus said unto them,
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.


text:
  And Jesus said unto them,
  I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.


text:
  All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.


text:
  And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.


text:
  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.


text:
  And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith,
  I came down from heaven?


text:
  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.


text:
  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.


text:
  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.


text:
  Then Jesus said unto them,
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.


text:
  Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.


text:
  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.


text:
  This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.


text:
  Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard
  this,
   said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?


text:
  When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them,
  Doth this offend you?


text:
  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
  they are spirit, and
  they are life.


text:
  But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.


text:
  And he said,
  Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.


text:
  He spake of Judas Iscariot
  the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.


text:
  After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.


text:
  His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.


text:
  For
  there is no man
  that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.


text:
  The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.


text:
  But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.


text:
  And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.


text:
  If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
  whether I speak of myself.


text:
  He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.


text:
  Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.


text:
  If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?


text:
  But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?


text:
  Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying,
  Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.


text:
  And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this
  man hath done?


text:
  The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.


text:
  Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?


text:
  What
  manner of saying is this that he said,
  Ye shall seek me, and shall not find
  me: and where I am,
  thither
   ye cannot come?


text:
  In the last day, that great
  day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,
  If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.


text:
  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.


text:
  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet
  given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)


text:
  Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?


text:
  Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?


text:
  They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.


text:
  And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.


text:
  And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,


text:
  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with
  his finger wrote on the ground,
  as though he heard them not.


text:
  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them,
  He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.


text:
  And they which heard
  it, being convicted by
  their own
   conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest,
  even
   unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.


text:
  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her,
  Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?


text:
  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,
  I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.


text:
  Jesus answered and said unto them,
  Though I bear record of myself,
  yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.


text:
  Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered,
  Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.


text:
  These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.


text:
  Then said Jesus again unto them,
  I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.


text:
  I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am
  he, ye shall die in your sins.


text:
  Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them,
  Even
  the same that I said unto you from the beginning.


text:
  I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.


text:
  Then said Jesus unto them,
  When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am
  he, and
  that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.


text:
  And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.


text:
  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
  If ye continue in my word,
  then are ye my disciples indeed;


text:
  They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou,
  Ye shall be made free?


text:
  Jesus answered them,
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.


text:
  They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them,
  If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.


text:
  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.


text:
  Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father,
  even God.


text:
  Jesus said unto them,
  If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.


text:
  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of
  your
   father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


text:
  Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?


text:
  Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest,
  If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.


text:
  Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?


text:
  Jesus answered,
  If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:


text:
  Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.


text:
  Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.


text:
  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?


text:
  Jesus answered,
  Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.


text:
  When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,


text:
  And said unto him,
  Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.


text:
  The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?


text:
  He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me,
  Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash:
   and I went and washed, and I received sight.


text:
  Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.


text:
  Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.


text:
  They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.


text:
  But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.


text:
  But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.


text:
  These
  words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.


text:
  Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.


text:
  He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner
  or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.


text:
  He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear
  it again? will ye also be his disciples?


text:
  The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and
  yet he hath opened mine eyes.


text:
  Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.


text:
  They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.


text:
  Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him,
  Dost thou believe on the Son of God?


text:
  And Jesus said,
  For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.


text:
  And
  some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?


text:
  Jesus said unto them,
  If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.


text:
  To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.


text:
  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.


text:
  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.


text:
  This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.


text:
  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.


text:
  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have
  it
   more abundantly.


text:
  But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.


text:
  And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
  and
   one shepherd.


text:
  No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.


text:
  Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?


text:
  Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.


text:
  Jesus answered them,
  I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.


text:
  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any
  man pluck them out of my hand.


text:
  My Father, which gave
  them me, is greater than all; and no
  man is able to pluck
  them out of my Father’s hand.


text:
  Jesus answered them,
  Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?


text:
  The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.


text:
  Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?


text:
  But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.


text:
  And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.


text:
  (It was
  that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)


text:
  When Jesus heard
  that, he said,
  This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.


text:
  When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.


text:
  His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?


text:
  Jesus answered,
  Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.


text:
  These things said he: and after that he saith unto them,
  Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.


text:
  And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.


text:
  Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.


text:
  Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat
  still in the house.


text:
  Jesus said unto her,
  I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:


text:
  She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.


text:
  And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.


text:
  The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.


text:
  Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.


text:
  When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,


text:
  And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?


text:
  Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.


text:
  Jesus said,
  Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been
  dead four days.


text:
  Jesus saith unto her,
  Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?


text:
  Then they took away the stone
  from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up
  his eyes, and said,
  Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.


text:
  And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said
  it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.


text:
  And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them,
  Loose him, and let him go.


text:
  Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.


text:
  If we let him thus alone, all
  men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.


text:
  And one of them,
  named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,


text:
  Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.


text:
  And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;


text:
  And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.


text:
  Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.


text:
  And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.


text:
  Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?


text:
  Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew
  it, that they might take him.


text:
  Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.


text:
  There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.


text:
  Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.


text:
  This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.


text:
  Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.


text:
  On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,


text:
  Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed
  is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.


text:
  These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and
  that they had done these things unto him.


text:
  The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.


text:
  The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.


text:
  The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.


text:
  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.


text:
  If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will
  my Father honour.


text:
  Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.


text:
  Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven,
  saying, I have both glorified
  it, and will glorify
  it again.


text:
  The people therefore, that stood by, and heard
  it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.


text:
  The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou,
  The Son of man must be lifted up?
   who is this Son of man?


text:
  Then Jesus said unto them,
  Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.


text:
  While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.


text:
  That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?


text:
  He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with
  their eyes, nor understand with
  their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.


text:
  Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess
  him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:


text:
  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.


text:
  He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.


text:
  For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.


text:
  And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.


text:
  Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.


text:
  And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s
  son, to betray him;


text:
  Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;


text:
  After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe
  them with the towel wherewith he was girded.


text:
  Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him,
  If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.


text:
  Jesus saith to him,
  He that is washed needeth not save to wash
  his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.


text:
  So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them,
  Know ye what I have done to you?


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.


text:
  I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.


text:
  When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said,
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.


text:
  Jesus answered,
  He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped
  it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave
  it
   to Judas Iscariot,
  the son of Simon.


text:
  For some
  of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy
  those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.


text:
  Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said,
  Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.


text:
  If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.


text:
  Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.


text:
  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.


text:
  Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him,
  Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.


text:
  Jesus answered him,
  Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.


text:
  In my Father’s house are many mansions: if
  it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.


text:
  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am,
  there ye may be also.


text:
  Jesus saith unto him,
  I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


text:
  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.


text:
  Jesus saith unto him,
  Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou
  then, Shew us the Father?


text:
  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.


text:
  Believe me that I
  am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
  works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.


text:
  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.


text:
  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;


text:
  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.


text:
  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.


text:
  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.


text:
  Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?


text:
  Jesus answered and said unto him,
  If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.


text:
  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.


text:
  But the Comforter,
  which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


text:
  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.


text:
  Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come
  again
   unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.


text:
  Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.


text:
  But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.


text:
  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every
  branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.


text:
  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.


text:
  I am the vine, ye
  are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.


text:
  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast
  them into the fire, and they are burned.


text:
  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.


text:
  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.


text:
  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and
  that your joy might be full.


text:
  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.


text:
  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and
  that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.


text:
  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.


text:
  Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.


text:
  But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.


text:
  If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.


text:
  If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.


text:
  But
  this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.


text:
  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father,
  even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:


text:
  They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.


text:
  But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.


text:
  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.


text:
  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,
  that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.


text:
  All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew
  it unto you.


text:
  A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.


text:
  Then said
  some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?


text:
  Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them,
  Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.


text:
  A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.


text:
  And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.


text:
  And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give
  it
   you.


text:
  These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.


text:
  For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.


text:
  I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.


text:
  Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.


text:
  Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.


text:
  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


text:
  These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,
  Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:


text:
  As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.


text:
  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.


text:
  And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.


text:
  I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.


text:
  For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received
  them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.


text:
  I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.


text:
  And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we
  are.


text:
  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.


text:
  And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.


text:
  I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.


text:
  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.


text:
  That they all may be one; as thou, Father,
  art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.


text:
  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.


text:
  Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.


text:
  O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.


text:
  And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare
  it:
   that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.


text:
  When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.


text:
  And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.


text:
  Judas then, having received a band
  of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.


text:
  Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them,
  Whom seek ye?


text:
  They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them,
  I amhe. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.


text:
  Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.


text:
  Then said Jesus unto Peter,
  Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?


text:
  And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.


text:
  Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.


text:
  And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and
  so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.


text:
  But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.


text:
  Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also
  one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.


text:
  And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.


text:
  Jesus answered him,
  I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.


text:
  Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.


text:
  And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?


text:
  Jesus answered him,
  If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?


text:
  And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also
  one of his disciples? He denied
  it,
   and said, I am not.


text:
  One of the servants of the high priest, being
  his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?


text:
  Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.


text:
  They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.


text:
  Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:


text:
  Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?


text:
  Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?


text:
  Jesus answered,
  My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.


text:
  Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,
  Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.


text:
  Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault
  at all.


text:
  But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?


text:
  And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put
  it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,


text:
  Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.


text:
  Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And
  Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!


text:
  When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify
  him, crucify
  him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify
  him: for I find no fault in him.


text:
  The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.


text:
  And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.


text:
  Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?


text:
  Jesus answered,
  Thou couldest have no power
  at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.


text:
  And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.


text:
  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.


text:
  And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!


text:
  But they cried out, Away with
  him, away with
  him,
   crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.


text:
  And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called
  the place
   of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:


text:
  And Pilate wrote a title, and put
  it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.


text:
  This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew,
  and
   Greek,
  and Latin.


text:
  Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.


text:
  Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also
  his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.


text:
  They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.


text:
  Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the
  wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.


text:
  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother,
  Woman, behold thy son!


text:
  Then saith he to the disciple,
  Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own
  home.


text:
  After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith,
  I thirst.


text:
  Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put
  it upon hyssop, and put
  it to his mouth.


text:
  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
  It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.


text:
  The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and
  that
   they might be taken away.


text:
  Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.


text:
  But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.


text:
  And he that saw
  it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.


text:
  For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.


text:
  And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave
  him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.


text:
  And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound
  weight.


text:
  Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.


text:
  Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.


text:
  There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation
  day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.


text:
  The first
  day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.


text:
  Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.


text:
  So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.


text:
  Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,


text:
  And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.


text:
  But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down,
  and looked into the sepulchre,


text:
  And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.


text:
  And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.


text:
  And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.


text:
  Jesus saith unto her,
  Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?
   She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.


text:
  Jesus saith unto her,
  Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.


text:
  Jesus saith unto her,
  Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and
  to my God, and your God.


text:
  Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and
  that he had spoken these things unto her.


text:
  Then the same day at evening, being the first
  day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them,
  Peace
  be unto you.


text:
  And when he had so said, he shewed unto them
  his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.


text:
  Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them;
  and
   whose soever
  sins ye retain, they are retained.


text:
  The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.


text:
  And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them:
  then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
  Peace
  be unto you.


text:
  Then saith he to Thomas,
  reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust
  it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.


text:
  Jesus saith unto him,
  Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed
  are they that have not seen, and
  yet have believed.


text:
  And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:


text:
  But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.


text:
  After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he
  himself.


text:
  There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the
  sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.


text:
  Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.


text:
  But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.


text:
  And he said unto them,
  Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.


text:
  Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt
  his
   fisher’s coat
  unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.


text:
  And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.


text:
  As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.


text:
  Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, and hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.


text:
  Jesus saith unto them,
  Come
  and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.


text:
  This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.


text:
  So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
  Simon,
  son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
  Feed my lambs.


text:
  He saith to him again the second time,
  Simon,
  son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
  Feed my sheep.


text:
  He saith unto him the third time,
  Simon,
  son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him,
  Feed my sheep.


text:
  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry
  thee whither thou wouldest not.


text:
  This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him,
  Follow me.


text:
  Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?


text:
  Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but,
  If I will that he tarry till I come, what
  is that to thee?


text:
  This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.


text:
  And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.


text:
  Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:


text:
  To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:


text:
  And, being assembled together with
  them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but
  wait for the promise of the Father, which,
  saith he, ye have heard of me.


text:
  For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.


text:
  When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?


text:
  And he said unto them,
  It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.


text:
  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.


text:
  And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.


text:
  And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;


text:
  Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.


text:
  Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.


text:
  And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James
  the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas
  the brother of James.


text:
  These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.


text:
  And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)


text:
  Men
  and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.


text:
  Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.


text:
  And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.


text:
  For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.


text:
  Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,


text:
  Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.


text:
  And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all
  men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,


text:
  That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.


text:
  And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.


text:
  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.


text:
  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.


text:
  Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.


text:
  And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?


text:
  Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,


text:
  Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,


text:
  But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all
  ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:


text:
  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:


text:
  And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:


text:
  And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:


text:
  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:


text:
  Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:


text:
  Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:


text:
  Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.


text:
  For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:


text:
  Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.


text:
  Men
  and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.


text:
  Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;


text:
  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.


text:
  Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.


text:
  For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,


text:
  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.


text:
  Now when they heard
  this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men
  and brethren, what shall we do?


text:
  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


text:
  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off,
  even as many as the Lord our God shall call.


text:
  And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.


text:
  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added
  unto them about three thousand souls.


text:
  And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.


text:
  And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,


text:
  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.


text:
  And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;


text:
  Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.


text:
  And he took him by the right hand, and lifted
  him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.


text:
  And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.


text:
  And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.


text:
  And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.


text:
  And when Peter saw
  it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?


text:
  The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let
  him go.


text:
  And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.


text:
  But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.


text:
  Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;


text:
  Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.


text:
  For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.


text:
  And it shall come to pass,
  that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.


text:
  Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.


text:
  Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.


text:
  Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.


text:
  And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,


text:
  Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.


text:
  Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.


text:
  And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.


text:
  And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?


text:
  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,


text:
  If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;


text:
  Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
  even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.


text:
  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.


text:
  Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.


text:
  Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them
  is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny
  it.


text:
  But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.


text:
  But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.


text:
  So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all
  men
   glorified God for that which was done.


text:
  And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.


text:
  And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou
  art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:


text:
  Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?


text:
  The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.


text:
  For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,


text:
  And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,


text:
  By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.


text:
  And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.


text:
  And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any
  of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.


text:
  And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.


text:
  Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,


text:
  And laid
  them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.


text:
  And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite,
  and of the country of Cyprus,


text:
  And kept back
  part of the price, his wife also being privy
  to it, and brought a certain part, and laid
  it at the apostles’ feet.


text:
  But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back
  part of the price of the land?


text:
  Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.


text:
  And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.


text:
  And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.


text:
  Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband
  are at the door, and shall carry thee out.


text:
  Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying
  her
   forth, buried
  her by her husband.


text:
  And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.


text:
  Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid
  them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.


text:
  There came also a multitude
  out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.


text:
  Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,


text:
  And when they heard
  that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.


text:
  Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.


text:
  Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.


text:
  Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.


text:
  Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.


text:
  Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.


text:
  Him hath God exalted with his right hand
  to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.


text:
  And we are his witnesses of these things; and
  so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.


text:
  Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;


text:
  And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.


text:
  For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.


text:
  After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all,
  even
   as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.


text:
  And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:


text:
  And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten
  them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.


text:
  And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.


text:
  And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.


text:
  Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples
  unto them,
   and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.


text:
  Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.


text:
  And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:


text:
  And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.


text:
  Then there arose certain of
  the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.


text:
  Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and
  against God.


text:
  And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon
  him, and caught him, and brought
  him to the council,


text:
  And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:


text:
  For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.


text:
  And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.


text:
  And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,


text:
  And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.


text:
  Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.


text:
  And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not
  so much as
   to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when
  as yet he had no child.


text:
  And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat
  them
   evil four hundred years.


text:
  And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.


text:
  And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so
  Abraham
   begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac
  begat
   Jacob; and Jacob
  begat the twelve patriarchs.


text:
  And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.


text:
  Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.


text:
  And at the second
  time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.


text:
  Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to
  him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.


text:
  And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor
  the father
   of Sychem.


text:
  But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,


text:
  The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.


text:
  In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:


text:
  And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.


text:
  And seeing one
  of them suffer wrong, he defended
  him,
   and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:


text:
  For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.


text:
  And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?


text:
  But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?


text:
  And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.


text:
  When Moses saw
  it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold
  it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,


text:
  Saying, I
  am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.


text:
  Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.


text:
  I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.


text:
  This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send
  to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.


text:
  He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.


text:
  This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.


text:
  This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and
  with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:


text:
  To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust
  him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,


text:
  Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for
  as for
   this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.


text:
  And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.


text:
  Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices
  by the space of forty years in the wilderness?


text:
  Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.


text:
  Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.


text:
  Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;


text:
  Heaven
  is my throne, and earth
  is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what
  is the place of my rest?


text:
  Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers
  did, so
  do ye.


text:
  Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:


text:
  But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,


text:
  And cast
  him out of the city, and stoned
  him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.


text:
  And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.


text:
  And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.


text:
  As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed
  them to prison.


text:
  And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.


text:
  For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed
  with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.


text:
  But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:


text:
  To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.


text:
  But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.


text:
  Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.


text:
  Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:


text:
  (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)


text:
  And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,


text:
  But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.


text:
  Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.


text:
  Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.


text:
  And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.


text:
  And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.


text:
  And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,


text:
  And Philip ran thither to
  him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?


text:
  And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.


text:
  The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:


text:
  In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.


text:
  And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?


text:
  And as they went on
  their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See,
  here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?


text:
  And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.


text:
  And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.


text:
  And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.


text:
  But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.


text:
  And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,


text:
  And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.


text:
  And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:


text:
  And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said,
  I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
  it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.


text:
  And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord
  said unto him,
  Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.


text:
  And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought
  him into Damascus.


text:
  And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision,
  Ananias. And he said, Behold, I
  am here, Lord.


text:
  And the Lord
  said unto him,
  Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for
  one
   called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,


text:
  And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting
  his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.


text:
  Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:


text:
  But the Lord said unto him,
  Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:


text:
  And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord,
  even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.


text:
  And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.


text:
  And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.


text:
  But all that heard
  him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?


text:
  But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.


text:
  And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.


text:
  But Barnabas took him, and brought
  him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.


text:
  And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.


text:
  Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.


text:
  And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all
  quarters,
   he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.


text:
  And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.


text:
  And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.


text:
  Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.


text:
  And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid
  her in an upper chamber.


text:
  And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring
  him
   that he would not delay to come to them.


text:
  Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.


text:
  But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning
  him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.


text:
  And he gave her
  his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.


text:
  There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian
  band,


text:
  A devout
  man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.


text:
  He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.


text:
  And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.


text:
  He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.


text:
  And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;


text:
  On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:


text:
  And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:


text:
  Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.


text:
  And the voice
  spake unto him again the second time,
  What God hath cleansed,
  that call not thou common.


text:
  Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,


text:
  Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what
  is the cause wherefore ye are come?


text:
  And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.


text:
  Then called he them in, and lodged
  them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.


text:
  And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.


text:
  And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.


text:
  Therefore came I
  unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?


text:
  And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,


text:
  And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.


text:
  Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of
  one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.


text:
  Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.


text:
  The word which
  God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)


text:
  That word,
  I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;


text:
  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.


text:
  And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:


text:
  Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God,
  even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.


text:
  And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God
  to be the Judge of quick and dead.


text:
  To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.


text:
  And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.


text:
  Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?


text:
  And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.


text:
  And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.


text:
  I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:


text:
  Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.


text:
  And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.


text:
  And the spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:


text:
  And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;


text:
  Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said,
  John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.


text:
  Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as
  he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?


text:
  When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.


text:
  Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.


text:
  And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.


text:
  Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.


text:
  Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.


text:
  For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.


text:
  And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.


text:
  And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.


text:
  Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:


text:
  And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)


text:
  And when he had apprehended him, he put
  him in prison, and delivered
  him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.


text:
  Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.


text:
  And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.


text:
  And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon
  him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from
  his hands.


text:
  And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.


text:
  And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.


text:
  When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.


text:
  And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and
  from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.


text:
  And when he had considered
  the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.


text:
  And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.


text:
  And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.


text:
  But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened
  the door,
   and saw him, they were astonished.


text:
  But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.


text:
  And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that
  they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and
  there abode.


text:
  And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s
  country.


text:
  And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.


text:
  And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.


text:
  And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled
  their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.


text:
  Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.


text:
  As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.


text:
  So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.


text:
  And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to
  their minister.


text:
  And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name
  was Bar-jesus:


text:
  Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.


text:
  But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.


text:
  And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief,
  thou child of the devil,
  thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?


text:
  And now, behold, the hand of the Lord
  is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.


text:
  Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.


text:
  But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.


text:
  And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying,
  Ye men
  and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.


text:
  Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with
  his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.


text:
  The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.


text:
  And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.


text:
  And after that he gave
  unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.


text:
  And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.


text:
  And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the
  son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.


text:
  When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.


text:
  And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not
  he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of
  his feet I am not worthy to loose.


text:
  Men
  and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.


text:
  For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled
  them in condemning
  him.


text:
  And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took
  him down from the tree, and laid
  him in a sepulchre.


text:
  And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.


text:
  God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.


text:
  And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead,
  now
   no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.


text:
  For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:


text:
  Be it known unto you therefore, men
  and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:


text:
  And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.


text:
  Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.


text:
  And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.


text:
  Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.


text:
  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.


text:
  Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.


text:
  For so hath the Lord commanded us,
  saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.


text:
  And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.


text:
  But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.


text:
  And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.


text:
  But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.


text:
  Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.


text:
  And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use
  them despitefully, and to stone them,


text:
  They were ware of
  it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
