42:007:040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat tosay unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
42:007:041 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the oneowed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42:007:042 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave themboth. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
42:007:043 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgavemost. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
42:007:044 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.
42:007:045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I camein hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
42:007:046 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hathanointed my feet with ointment.
42:007:047 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.
42:007:048 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
42:007:049 And they that sat at meat with him began to say withinthemselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
42:007:050 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go inpeace.
42:008:001 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout everycity and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings ofthe kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
42:008:002 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits andinfirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went sevendevils,
42:008:003 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, andmany others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
42:008:004 And when much people were gathered together, and were come tohim out of every city, he spake by a parable:
42:008:005 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.
42:008:006 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, itwithered away, because it lacked moisture.
42:008:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it,and choked it.
42:008:008 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.
42:008:009 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
42:008:010 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.
42:008:011 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
42:008:012 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh thedevil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest theyshould believe and be saved.
42:008:013 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive theword with joy; and these have no root, which for a whilebelieve, and in time of temptation fall away.
42:008:014 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when theyhave heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches andpleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
42:008:015 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest andgood heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forthfruit with patience.
42:008:016 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with avessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on acandlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
42:008:017 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and comeabroad.
42:008:018 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to himshall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall betaken even that which he seemeth to have.
42:008:019 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could notcome at him for the press.
42:008:020 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thybrethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
42:008:021 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethrenare these which hear the word of God, and do it.
42:008:022 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a shipwith his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over untothe other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
42:008:023 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a stormof wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and werein jeopardy.
42:008:024 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master,we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the ragingof the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
42:008:025 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.
42:008:026 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
42:008:027 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the citya certain man, which had devils long time, and ware noclothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
42:008:028 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, andwith a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus,thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
42:008:029 (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.)
42:008:030 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
42:008:031 And they besought him that he would not command them to go outinto the deep.
42:008:032 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on themountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them toenter into them. And he suffered them.
42:008:033 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into theswine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into thelake, and were choked.
42:008:034 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
42:008:035 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.
42:008:036 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
42:008:037 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.
42:008:038 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
42:008:039 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.
42:008:040 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
42:008:041 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:
42:008:042 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
42:008:043 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
42:008:044 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
42:008:045 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?
42:008:046 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
42:008:047 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.
42:008:048 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
42:008:049 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.
42:008:050 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
42:008:051 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.
42:008:052 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
42:008:053 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
42:008:054 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,saying, Maid, arise.
42:008:055 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and hecommanded to give her meat.
42:008:056 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that theyshould tell no man what was done.
42:009:001 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave thempower and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
42:009:002 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal thesick.
42:009:003 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
42:009:004 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
42:009:005 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.
42:009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
42:009:007 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;
42:009:008 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that oneof the old prophets was risen again.
42:009:009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whomI hear such things? And he desired to see him.
42:009:010 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all thatthey had done. And he took them, and went aside privately intoa desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
42:009:011 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and hereceived them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, andhealed them that had need of healing.
42:009:012 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.
42:009:013 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.
42:009:014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
42:009:015 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
42:009:016 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.
42:009:017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
42:009:018 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?
42:009:019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
42:009:020 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answeringsaid, The Christ of God.
42:009:021 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell noman that thing;
42:009:022 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.
42:009:023 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, lethim deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
42:009:024 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoeverwill lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
42:009:025 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, andlose himself, or be cast away?
42:009:026 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.
42:009:027 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.
42:009:028 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.
42:009:029 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,and his raiment was white and glistering.
42:009:030 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Mosesand Elias:
42:009:031 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which heshould accomplish at Jerusalem.
42:009:032 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.
42:009:033 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.
42:009:034 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowedthem: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
42:009:035 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is mybeloved Son: hear him.
42:009:036 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.
42:009:037 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were comedown from the hill, much people met him.
42:009:038 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, Ibeseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
42:009:039 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.
42:009:040 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
42:009:041 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy sonhither.
42:009:042 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tarehim. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed thechild, and delivered him again to his father.
42:009:043 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But whilethey wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he saidunto his disciples,
42:009:044 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
42:009:045 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.
42:009:046 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them shouldbe greatest.
42:009:047 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took achild, and set him by him,
42:009:048 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.
42:009:049 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.
42:009:050 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is notagainst us is for us.
42:009:051 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should bereceived up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
42:009:052 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
42:009:053 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
42:009:054 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?
42:009:055 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not whatmanner of spirit ye are of.
42:009:056 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but tosave them. And they went to another village.
42:009:057 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certainman said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thougoest.
42:009:058 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of theair have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay hishead.
42:009:059 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, sufferme first to go and bury my father.
42:009:060 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thouand preach the kingdom of God.
42:009:061 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let mefirst go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
42:009:062 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to theplough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
42:010:001 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, andsent them two and two before his face into every city andplace, whither he himself would come.
42:010:002 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, butthe labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of theharvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
42:010:003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
42:010:004 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no manby the way.
42:010:005 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be tothis house.
42:010:006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest uponit: if not, it shall turn to you again.
42:010:007 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.
42:010:008 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eatsuch things as are set before you:
42:010:009 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, Thekingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
42:010:010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not,go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
42:010:011 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.
42:010:012 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
42:010:013 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.
42:010:014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at thejudgment, than for you.
42:010:015 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt bethrust down to hell.
42:010:016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
42:010:017 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, eventhe devils are subject unto us through thy name.
42:010:018 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall fromheaven.
42:010:019 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents andscorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothingshall by any means hurt you.
42:010:020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits aresubject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names arewritten in heaven.
42:010:021 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.
42:010:022 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.
42:010:023 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
42:010:024 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.
42:010:025 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
42:010:026 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readestthou?
42:010:027 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.
42:010:028 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, andthou shalt live.
42:010:029 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And whois my neighbour?
42:010:030 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.
42:010:031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: andwhen he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
42:010:032 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came andlooked on him, and passed by on the other side.
42:010:033 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
42:010:034 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.
42:010:035 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.
42:010:036 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour untohim that fell among the thieves?
42:010:037 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus untohim, Go, and do thou likewise.
42:010:038 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.
42:010:039 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
42:010:040 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.
42:010:041 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou artcareful and troubled about many things:
42:010:042 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,which shall not be taken away from her.
42:011:001 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certainplace, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him,Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
42:011:002 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which artin heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will bedone, as in heaven, so in earth.
42:011:003 Give us day by day our daily bread.
42:011:004 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that isindebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliverus from evil.
42:011:005 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, andshall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lendme three loaves;
42:011:006 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
42:011:007 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: thedoor is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannotrise and give thee.
42:011:008 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, becausehe is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will riseand give him as many as he needeth.
42:011:009 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, andye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
42:011:010 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seekethfindeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
42:011:011 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?
42:011:012 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
42:011:013 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto yourchildren: how much more shall your heavenly Father give theHoly Spirit to them that ask him?
42:011:014 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it cameto pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and thepeople wondered.
42:011:015 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
42:011:016 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
42:011:017 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdomdivided against itself is brought to desolation; and a housedivided against a house falleth.
42:011:018 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall hiskingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils throughBeelzebub.
42:011:019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sonscast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
42:011:020 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt thekingdom of God is come upon you.
42:011:021 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are inpeace:
42:011:022 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.
42:011:023 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
42:011:024 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.
42:011:025 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
42:011:026 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.
42:011:027 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.
42:011:028 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
42:011:029 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.
42:011:030 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
42:011:031 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.
42:011:032 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with thisgeneration, and shall condemn it: for they repented at thepreaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42:011:033 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secretplace, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that theywhich come in may see the light.
42:011:034 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye issingle, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thineeye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
42:011:035 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
42:011:036 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.
42:011:037 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine withhim: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
42:011:038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had notfirst washed before dinner.
42:011:039 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.
42:011:040 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make thatwhich is within also?
42:011:041 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold,all things are clean unto you.
42:011:042 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.
42:011:043 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
42:011:044 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.
42:011:045 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
42:011:046 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.
42:011:047 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, andyour fathers killed them.
42:011:048 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers:for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
42:011:049 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
42:011:050 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
42:011:051 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias whichperished between the altar and the temple: verily I say untoyou, It shall be required of this generation.
42:011:052 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key ofknowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that wereentering in ye hindered.
42:011:053 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and thePharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him tospeak of many things:
42:011:054 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
42:012:001 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.
42:012:002 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
42:012:003 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.
42:012:004 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.
42:012:005 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.
42:012:006 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one ofthem is forgotten before God?
42:012:007 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fearnot therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
42:012:008 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
42:012:009 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
42:012:010 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, itshall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth againstthe Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
42:012:011 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and untomagistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thingye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
42:012:012 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what yeought to say.
42:012:013 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to mybrother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
42:012:014 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a dividerover you?
42:012:015 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.
42:012:016 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of acertain rich man brought forth plentifully:
42:012:017 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
42:012:018 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.
42:012:019 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.
42:012:020 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?
42:012:021 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
42:012:022 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.
42:012:023 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
42:012:024 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?
42:012:025 And which of you with taking thought can add to his statureone cubit?
42:012:026 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, whytake ye thought for the rest?
42:012:027 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spinnot; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory wasnot arrayed like one of these.
42:012:028 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 heclothe you, O ye of little faith?
42:012:029 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,neither be ye of doubtful mind.
42:012:030 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
42:012:031 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these thingsshall be added unto you.
42:012:032 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasureto give you the kingdom.
42:012:033 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.
42:012:034 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
42:012:035 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
42:012:036 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.
42:012:037 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.
42:012:038 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
42:012:039 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.
42:012:040 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at anhour when ye think not.
42:012:041 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parableunto us, or even to all?
42:012:042 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?
42:012:043 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shallfind so doing.
42:012:044 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler overall that he hath.
42:012:045 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;
42:012:046 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.
42:012:047 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.
42:012:048 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.
42:012:049 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it bealready kindled?
42:012:050 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am Istraitened till it be accomplished!
42:012:051 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you,Nay; but rather division:
42:012:052 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided,three against two, and two against three.
42:012:053 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.
42:012:054 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.
42:012:055 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will beheat; and it cometh to pass.
42:012:056 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of theearth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
42:012:057 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
42:012:058 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.
42:012:059 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
42:013:001 There were present at that season some that told him of theGalilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with theirsacrifices.
42:013:002 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that theseGalilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because theysuffered such things?
42:013:003 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
42:013:004 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?
42:013:005 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
42:013:006 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig treeplanted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon,and found none.
42:013:007 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, thesethree years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and findnone: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
42:013:008 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this yearalso, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
42:013:009 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thoushalt cut it down.
42:013:010 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
42:013:011 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.
42:013:012 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said untoher, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
42:013:013 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was madestraight, and glorified God.
42:013:014 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.
42:013:015 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth noteach one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass fromthe stall, and lead him away to watering?
42:013:016 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whomSatan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed fromthis bond on the sabbath day?
42:013:017 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries wereashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the gloriousthings that were done by him.
42:013:018 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
42:013:019 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.
42:013:020 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
42:013:021 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in threemeasures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
42:013:022 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, andjourneying toward Jerusalem.
42:013:023 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? Andhe said unto them,
42:013:024 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say untoyou, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
42:013:025 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:
42:013:026 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thypresence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
42:013:027 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are;depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
42:013:028 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shallsee Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, inthe kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
42:013:029 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and fromthe north, and from the south, and shall sit down in thekingdom of God.
42:013:030 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and thereare first which shall be last.
42:013:031 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying untohim, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
42:013:032 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, Icast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and thethird day I shall be perfected.
42:013:033 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the dayfollowing: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out ofJerusalem.
42:013:034 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!
42:013:035 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I sayunto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when yeshall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
42:014:001 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of thechief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that theywatched him.
42:014:002 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had thedropsy.
42:014:003 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees,saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
42:014:004 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him,and let him go;
42:014:005 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?
42:014:006 And they could not answer him again to these things.
42:014:007 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
42:014:008 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;
42:014:009 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.
42:014:010 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.
42:014:011 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
42:014:012 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.
42:014:013 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, thelame, the blind:
42:014:014 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee:for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
42:014:015 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.
42:014:016 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, andbade many:
42:014:017 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that werebidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
42:014:018 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.
