Mat 1:1 ¶ The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Mat 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
Mat 1:3 And Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar; and Pharez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;
Mat 1:4 And Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
Mat 1:5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Mat 1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
Mat 1:7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
Mat 1:8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
Mat 1:9 And Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
Mat 1:10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
Mat 1:11 And Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Mat 1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Mat 1:13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
Mat 1:14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Mat 1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Mat 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Mat 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon [are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ [are] fourteen generations.
Mat 1:18 ¶ Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.
Mat 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away secretly.
Mat 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Mat 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
Mat 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Mat 2:1 ¶ Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Mat 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
Mat 2:3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mat 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he enquired of them where the Christ should be born.
Mat 2:5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Mat 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Mat 2:7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Mat 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Mat 2:9 ¶ When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Mat 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Mat 2:11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Mat 2:12 And being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Mat 2:13 ¶ And when they had 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.
Mat 2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Mat 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Mat 2:16 ¶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceeding angry, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its surrounding lands, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
Mat 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Mat 2:18 In Ramah was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
Mat 2:19 ¶ But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Mat 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the young child’s life.
Mat 2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Mat 2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there: however, being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
Mat 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Mat 3:1 ¶ In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Mat 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Mat 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region about Jordan,
Mat 3:6 And were baptized by him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
Mat 3:7 ¶ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance:
Mat 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Mat 3:10 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you in water to repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and [in] fire:
Mat 3:12 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and gather his wheat into the barn; but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Mat 3:13 ¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Mat 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me?
Mat 3:15 And Jesus answering said to him, Permit [it to be so] now: for thus it is befitting for us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he allowed him.
Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up immediately out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Mat 4:1 ¶ Then was Jesus led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.
Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6 And saith to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall uphold, thee, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Mat 4:7 Jesus said to him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up upon an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9 And saith to him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus to him, Away with thee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to him.
Mat 4:12 ¶ Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
Mat 4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
Mat 4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Mat 4:15 The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
Mat 4:16 The people who sat in darkness saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death light hath shone.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 4:18 ¶ And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.
Mat 4:19 And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Mat 4:20 And they immediately left [their] nets, and followed him.
Mat 4:21 And going on from there, he saw other two brethren, James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Mat 4:22 And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
Mat 4:23 ¶ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Mat 4:24 And his fame spread throughout all Syria: and they brought to him all sick people that were sick with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with demons, and those who were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
Mat 4:25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and [from] Decapolis, and [from] Jerusalem, and [from] Judaea, and [from] beyond Jordan.
Mat 5:1 ¶ And seeing the multitudes, he went up to a mountain: and when he was seated, his disciples came to him:
Mat 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Mat 5:3 ¶ Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Mat 5:5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Mat 5:6 Blessed [are] they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Mat 5:7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Mat 5:8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Mat 5:9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
Mat 5:10 Blessed [are] they who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Mat 5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be salted? it is then good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.
Mat 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Mat 5:15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand; and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19 Whoever 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 whoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20 For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:21 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mat 5:22 But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Mat 5:23 Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee;
Mat 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Mat 5:25 Agree with thy adversary quickly, while 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.
Mat 5:26 Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Mat 5:27 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28 But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, 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.
Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, cut it 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.
Mat 5:31 It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Mat 5:32 But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of immorality, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Mat 5:33 ¶ Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:
Mat 5:34 But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
Mat 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Mat 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Mat 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatever is more than these cometh of evil.
Mat 5:38 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Mat 5:39 But I say to you, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mat 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
Mat 5:41 And whoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
Mat 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Mat 5:43 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy.
Mat 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father who 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.
Mat 5:46 For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax collectors the same?
Mat 5:47 And if ye greet your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the tax collectors so?
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
Mat 6:1 ¶ Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Mat 6:2 Therefore when thou doest [thy] alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Mat 6:4 That thy alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Mat 6:5 ¶ 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 by men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Mat 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mat 6:8 Therefore, be ye not like them: for your Father knoweth what things ye need, before ye ask him.
Mat 6:9 ¶ After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as [it is] in heaven.
Mat 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Mat 6:13 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.
Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Mat 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mat 6:16 ¶ Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Verily I say to you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
Mat 6:18 That thou mayest not appear to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Mat 6:19 ¶ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thy eye is clear, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thy eye is bad, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great [is] that darkness!
Mat 6:24 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 riches.
Mat 6:25 ¶ Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious 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 food, and the body than raiment?
Mat 6:26 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?
Mat 6:27 Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature?
Mat 6:28 And why are ye anxious for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Mat 6:29 And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mat 6:30 Therefore, if God so clotheth 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?
Mat 6:31 Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
Mat 6:34 Therefore be not anxious for to morrow: for to morrow will be anxious for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil.
Mat 7:1 ¶ Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with the measure which ye measure with, it shall be measured to you again.
Mat 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
Mat 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thy eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thy own eye?
Mat 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Mat 7:7 ¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you:
Mat 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Mat 7:9 Or what man is there of you, who if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?
Mat 7:10 Or if he shall ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Mat 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Mat 7:12 ¶ Therefore all things whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in by it:
Mat 7:14 Because small [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth to life, and few there are that find it.
Mat 7:15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth bad fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mat 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out demons? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Mat 7:24 Therefore whoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock:
Mat 7:25 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.
Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was its fall.
Mat 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Mat 7:29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.
Mat 8:1 ¶ When he had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
Mat 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Mat 8:3 And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Mat 8:4 And Jesus saith to him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
Mat 8:5 ¶ And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
Mat 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick with the palsy, grievously tormented.
Mat 8:7 And Jesus saith to him, I will come and heal him.
Mat 8:8 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.
Mat 8:9 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].
Mat 8:10 When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Mat 8:11 And I say to you, That many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 8:13 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, [so] be it done to thee. And his servant was healed in the very same hour.
Mat 8:14 ¶ And when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying, and sick with a fever.
Mat 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered to them.
Mat 8:16 When the evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick:
Mat 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He himself took our infirmities, and bore [our] sicknesses.
Mat 8:18 ¶ Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart to the other side.
Mat 8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said to him, Master, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
Mat 8:20 And Jesus saith to 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.
Mat 8:21 And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
Mat 8:22 But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Mat 8:23 ¶ And when he had entered into a boat, his disciples followed him.
Mat 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
Mat 8:25 And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
Mat 8:26 And he saith to 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.
Mat 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
Mat 8:28 ¶ And when he had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
Mat 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come here to torment us before the time?
Mat 8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
Mat 8:31 So the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.
Mat 8:32 And he said to them, Go. And when they had 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.
Mat 8:33 And they that kept them fled, and went away into the city, and told every thing, and what had befallen to the [ones] possessed with demons.
Mat 8:34 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 region.
Mat 9:1 ¶ And he entered into a boat, and passed over, and came into his own city.
Mat 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick with the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the sick with the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee.
Mat 9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.
Mat 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
Mat 9:5 For which is easier, to say, [Thy] sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Mat 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick with the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy house.
Mat 9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
Mat 9:8 But when the multitudes saw [it], they marvelled, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
Mat 9:9 ¶ And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the tax office: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Mat 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat [eating] in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
Mat 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with tax collectors and sinners?
Mat 9:12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said to them, They that are well need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Mat 9:13 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.
Mat 9:14 ¶ Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples fast not?
Mat 9:15 And Jesus said to 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 they shall fast.
Mat 9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the tear is made worse.
Mat 9:17 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.
Mat 9:18 ¶ While he was speaking these things to 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.
Mat 9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
Mat 9:20 And, behold, a woman, who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment:
Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be healed.
Mat 9:22 But Jesus turned himself about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee well. And the woman was healed from that hour.
Mat 9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
Mat 9:24 He said to them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed at him.
Mat 9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
Mat 9:26 And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.
Mat 9:27 ¶ And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on us.
Mat 9:28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yea, Lord.
Mat 9:29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it to you.
Mat 9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus sternly charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].
Mat 9:31 But they, when they had departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
Mat 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
Mat 9:33 And when the demon was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Mat 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out demons through the prince of the demons.
Mat 9:35 ¶ 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.
Mat 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they were faint, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Mat 9:37 Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plentiful, but the labourers [are] few;
Mat 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Mat 10:1 ¶ And when he had called to [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.
Mat 10:2 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;
Mat 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
Mat 10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Mat 10:5 ¶ These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and enter ye not into [any] city of the Samaritans:
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons: freely ye have received, freely give.
Mat 10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
Mat 10:10 Nor bag for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor staffs: for the workman is worthy of his food.
Mat 10:11 And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go from there.
Mat 10:12 And when ye come into an house, greet it.
Mat 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Mat 10:14 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Mat 10:15 Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Mat 10:16 ¶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Mat 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given to you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaketh in you.
Mat 10:21 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.
Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated by all [men] for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Mat 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man shall have come.
Mat 10:24 The disciple is not above [his] teacher, nor the servant above his lord.
Mat 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he should be as his teacher, 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?
Mat 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] proclaim upon the housetops.
Mat 10:28 And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Mat 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.
Mat 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Mat 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Mat 10:32 Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 10:33 But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35 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.
Mat 10:36 And a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own household.
Mat 10:37 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.
Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Mat 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Mat 10:41 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.
Mat 10:42 And whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold [water] only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.
Mat 11:1 ¶ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
Mat 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
Mat 11:3 And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
Mat 11:4 Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye hear and see:
Mat 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Mat 11:6 And blessed is [he], who shall not be offended because of me.
Mat 11:7 ¶ And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Mat 11:8 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings’ houses.
Mat 11:9 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Mat 11:10 For this is [he], concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Mat 11:11 Verily I say to you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: however he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Mat 11:14 And if ye will receive [it], this is Elijah, who was to come.
Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 11:16 ¶ But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions,
Mat 11:17 And saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not lamented.
Mat 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.
Mat 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.
Mat 11:20 Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they repented not:
Mat 11:21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which had been done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Mat 11:22 But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Mat 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to 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.
Mat 11:24 But I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Mat 11:25 ¶ 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 to babes.
Mat 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Mat 11:27 All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, except the Son, and [he] to whomever the Son will reveal [him].
Mat 11:28 Come to me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest to your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
Mat 12:1 ¶ At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain fields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the heads of grain, and to eat.
Mat 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
Mat 12:3 But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
Mat 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?
Mat 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Mat 12:6 But I say to you, That in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
Mat 12:7 But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
Mat 12:9 And when he had departed from there, he went into their synagogue:
Mat 12:10 And, behold, there was a man who had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
Mat 12:11 And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
Mat 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days.
Mat 12:13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out; and it was restored as whole, as the other.
Mat 12:14 ¶ Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Mat 12:15 But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Mat 12:16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
Mat 12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Mat 12:18 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 show justice to the Gentiles.
Mat 12:19 He shall not quarrel, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Mat 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he shall send forth justice to victory.
Mat 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Mat 12:22 ¶ Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
Mat 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Mat 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [man] doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
Mat 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Mat 12:26 And if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
Mat 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Mat 12:28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you.
Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and seize his goods, except he shall first bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.
Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Mat 12:31 Therefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
Mat 12:32 And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come.
Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [its] fruit.
Mat 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Mat 12:35 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.
Mat 12:36 But I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account for it in the day of judgment.
Mat 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Mat 12:38 ¶ Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Mat 12:39 But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah [is] here.
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
Mat 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none.
Mat 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from which I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
Mat 12:45 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 to this wicked generation.
Mat 12:46 ¶ While he was yet speaking to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood outside, desiring to speak with him.
Mat 12:47 Then one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to speak with thee.
Mat 12:48 But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Mat 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mat 12:50 For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Mat 13:1 ¶ The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
Mat 13:2 And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
Mat 13:3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
Mat 13:4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
Mat 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Mat 13:6 And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Mat 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
Mat 13:8 But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Mat 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
Mat 13:11 He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Mat 13:12 For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Mat 13:13 Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Mat 13:15 For this people’s heart has become dull, and [their] ears are hard 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.
Mat 13:16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Mat 13:17 For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [the things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [the things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
Mat 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
Mat 13:19 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 who received seed by the way side.
Mat 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
Mat 13:21 Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, immediately he is offended.
Mat 13:22 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.
Mat 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Mat 13:24 ¶ Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Mat 13:26 But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? how then hath it tares?
Mat 13:28 He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 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.
Mat 13:31 Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Mat 13:32 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 on its branches.
Mat 13:33 Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Mat 13:34 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them:
Mat 13:35 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.
Mat 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Make known to us [the meaning of] the parable of the tares of the field.
Mat 13:37 He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;
Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 13:44 ¶ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he hideth, and from joy over it goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Mat 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking fine pearls:
Mat 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Mat 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Mat 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.
Mat 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
Mat 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:51 Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
Mat 13:52 Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe [who is] instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a man [that is] an householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
Mat 13:53 ¶ And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Mat 13:54 And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, How hath this [man] this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?
Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Mat 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? How then hath this [man] all these things?
Mat 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house.
Mat 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Mat 14:1 ¶ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
Mat 14:2 And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he hath risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
Mat 14:3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put [him] in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
Mat 14:4 For John had said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
Mat 14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Mat 14:6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Mat 14:7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
Mat 14:8 And she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
Mat 14:9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the sake of the oath and them who sat eating with him, he commanded [it] to be given [her].
Mat 14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
Mat 14:11 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the girl: and she brought [it] to her mother.
Mat 14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Mat 14:13 ¶ When Jesus heard [of it], he departed from there in a boat into a desert place by himself: and when the people had heard [of it], they followed him on foot out of the cities.
Mat 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Mat 14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now late; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.
Mat 14:16 But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
Mat 14:17 And they say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
Mat 14:18 He said, Bring them here to me.
Mat 14:19 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 broke, and gave the loaves to [his] disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Mat 14:20 And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Mat 14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Mat 14:22 ¶ And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Mat 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up to a mountain by himself to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
Mat 14:24 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
Mat 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
Mat 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear.
Mat 14:27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Mat 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the water.
Mat 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Mat 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Mat 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
Mat 14:32 And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased.
Mat 14:33 Then they that were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, In truth thou art the Son of God.
Mat 14:34 ¶ And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Mat 14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the surrounding country, and brought to him all that were diseased;
Mat 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly well.
Mat 15:1 ¶ Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, who were of Jerusalem, saying,
Mat 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Mat 15:3 But he answered and said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Mat 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
Mat 15:5 But ye say, Whoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me;
Mat 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
Mat 15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Mat 15:8 This people draweth near to me with their mouth, and honour me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
Mat 15:10 ¶ And he called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand:
Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Mat 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
Mat 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted out.
Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leadeth the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Mat 15:15 Then answered Peter and said to him, Make known to us [the meaning of] this parable.
Mat 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
Mat 15:17 Do ye not yet understand, that whatever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the stomach, and is cast out into the draught?
Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mat 15:20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defileth not a man.
Mat 15:21 ¶ Then Jesus went from there, and departed into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Mat 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same region, and cried to him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously afflicted with a demon.
Mat 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
Mat 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.
Mat 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
Mat 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it to thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Mat 15:29 ¶ And Jesus departed from there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and went up on a mountain, and sat down there.
Mat 15:30 And great multitudes came to him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and laid them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
Mat 15:31 So 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.
Mat 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples [to 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.
Mat 15:33 And his disciples say to him, Where should we get so much bread in the wilderness, as to satisfy so great a multitude?
Mat 15:34 And Jesus saith to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
Mat 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
Mat 15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke [them], and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Mat 15:37 And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up of the broken pieces that were left seven baskets full.
Mat 15:38 And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Mat 15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and got into a boat, and came into the region of Magdala.
Mat 16:1 ¶ The Pharisees also and the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
Mat 16:2 He answered and said to them, When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the sky is red.
Mat 16:3 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day: for the sky is red and threatening. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?
Mat 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
Mat 16:5 ¶ And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Mat 16:6 Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Mat 16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have taken no bread.
Mat 16:8 [Which] when Jesus perceived, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
Mat 16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Mat 16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Mat 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Mat 16:12 Then they understood that he did not warn [them] against the leaven of bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Mat 16:13 ¶ When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
Mat 16:14 And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Mat 16:15 He saith to them, But who say ye that I am?
Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 16:18 And I say also to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Mat 16:19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Mat 16:20 Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Mat 16:21 ¶ From that time forth Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Mat 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.
Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence to me: for thou savourest not the things that are of God, but those that are of men.
Mat 16:24 ¶ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mat 16:25 For whoever will save his life shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Mat 16:26 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?
Mat 16:27 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.
Mat 16:28 Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they shall see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Mat 17:1 ¶ And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up upon an high mountain by themselves,
Mat 17:2 And he was transfigured before them: and his face shone as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
Mat 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said to 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 Elijah.
Mat 17:5 While he was yet speaking, 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.
Mat 17:6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face, and were greatly afraid.
Mat 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Mat 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only.
Mat 17:9 And as they came down the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.
Mat 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
Mat 17:11 And Jesus answered and said to them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Mat 17:12 But I say to you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him whatever they desired. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer by them.
Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them concerning John the Baptist.
Mat 17:14 ¶ And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a [certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Mat 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and greatly distressed: for often he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.
Mat 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Mat 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him here to me.
Mat 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the demon; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
Mat 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus privately, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Mat 17:20 And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say to you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place; and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
Mat 17:21 However this kind goeth not out except by prayer and fasting.
Mat 17:22 ¶ And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
Mat 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly sorrowful.
Mat 17:24 ¶ And when they had come to Capernaum, they that received tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
Mat 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers?
Mat 17:26 Peter saith to him, From strangers. Jesus saith to him, Then are the children free.
Mat 17:27 However, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: take that, and give to them for me and thee.
Mat 18:1 ¶ At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Mat 18:2 And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the midst of them,
Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say to you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:5 And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Mat 18:6 But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mat 18:7 ¶ Woe to the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Mat 18:8 Therefore if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to sin, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
Mat 18:9 And if thy eye causeth thee to sin, 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.
Mat 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Mat 18:12 How think ye? if a man hath an hundred sheep, and one of them is gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go to the mountains, and seek that which is gone astray?
Mat 18:13 And if so be that he findeth it, verily I say to you, he rejoiceth more over that [sheep], than over the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Mat 18:15 ¶ 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.
Mat 18:16 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.
Mat 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] to the church: but if he shall neglect to hear the church, let him be to thee as an heathen and a tax collector.
Mat 18:18 Verily I say to you, Whatever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Mat 18:19 Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Mat 18:21 ¶ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Mat 18:22 Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Mat 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king, who would take account of his servants.
Mat 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents.
Mat 18:25 But as he had nothing with which to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Mat 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mat 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Mat 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, who owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.
Mat 18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mat 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Mat 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
Mat 18:32 Then his lord, having called him, said to him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou didst beg me:
Mat 18:33 Shouldest thou not also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Mat 18:34 And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the torturers, till he should pay all that was due to him.
Mat 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Mat 19:1 ¶ And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the region of Judaea beyond Jordan;
Mat 19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
Mat 19:3 ¶ The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Mat 19:4 And he answered and said to them, Have ye not read, that he who made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?
Mat 19:6 Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mat 19:7 They say to him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Mat 19:8 He saith to them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Mat 19:9 And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for immorality, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her who is put away committeth adultery.
Mat 19:10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man is so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.
Mat 19:11 But he said to them, All [men] cannot receive this saying, except [they] to whom it is given.
Mat 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from [their] mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
Mat 19:13 ¶ Then were brought to him little children, that he should put [his] hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, Permit [the] little children, and forbid them not, to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:15 And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed from there.
Mat 19:16 ¶ And, behold, one came and said to him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said to 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.
Mat 19:18 He saith to him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 19:20 The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?
Mat 19:21 Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.
Mat 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Mat 19:23 ¶ Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I say to you, That it is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:24 And again I say to 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.
Mat 19:25 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Mat 19:27 Then answered Peter and said to him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
Mat 19:28 And Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Mat 19:29 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.
Mat 19:30 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last [shall be] first.
Mat 20:1 ¶ For the kingdom of heaven is like a man [that is] an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
Mat 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Mat 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Mat 20:4 And said to them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went.
Mat 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did the same.
Mat 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Mat 20:7 They say to him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, [that] shall ye receive.
Mat 20:8 So when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the labourers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last to the first.
Mat 20:9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Mat 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Mat 20:11 And when they had received [it], they murmured against the master of the house,
Mat 20:12 Saying, These last have worked [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Mat 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
Mat 20:14 Take [that] which [is] thine, and go thy way: I will give to this last, even as to thee.
Mat 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is thy eye evil, because I am good?
Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen.
Mat 20:17 ¶ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples aside in the way, and said to them,
Mat 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
Mat 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise again.
Mat 20:20 ¶ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping [him], and desiring a certain thing of him.
Mat 20:21 And he said to her, What wilt thou? She saith to him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
Mat 20:22 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 to him, We are able.
Mat 20:23 And he saith to 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 by my Father.
Mat 20:24 And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
Mat 20:25 But Jesus called them [to him], and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
Mat 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Mat 20:27 And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Mat 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mat 20:29 ¶ And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Mat 20:30 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.
Mat 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] Son of David.
Mat 20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?
Mat 20:33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Mat 20:34 So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Mat 21:1 ¶ And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Mat 21:2 Saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and immediately ye shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] to me.
Mat 21:3 And if any [man] shall say any thing to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them.
Mat 21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Mat 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a donkey.
Mat 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Mat 21:7 And brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set [him] on it.
Mat 21:8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and spread [them] in the way.
Mat 21:9 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.
Mat 21:10 And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Mat 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Mat 21:12 ¶ 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,
Mat 21:13 And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Mat 21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Mat 21:15 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 greatly displeased,
Mat 21:16 And said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Mat 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Mat 21:18 ¶ Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he was hungry.
Mat 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.
Mat 21:20 And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Mat 21:21 Jesus answered and said to them, Verily I say to 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 to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Mat 21:22 And all things, whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Mat 21:23 ¶ And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
Mat 21:24 And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mat 21:25 The baptism of John, where was it from? from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
Mat 21:26 But if we shall say, From men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Mat 21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mat 21:28 ¶ 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.
Mat 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
Mat 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
Mat 21:31 Which of the two did the will of [his] father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say to you, That the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Mat 21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen [it], repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Mat 21:33 ¶ Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country:
Mat 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruits.
Mat 21:35 And the vinedressers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Mat 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner.
Mat 21:37 But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mat 21:38 But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Mat 21:39 And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
Mat 21:40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those vinedressers?
Mat 21:41 They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard to other vinedressers, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Mat 21:42 Jesus saith to 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?
Mat 21:43 Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.
Mat 21:44 And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Mat 21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
Mat 21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.
Mat 22:1 ¶ And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
Mat 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,
Mat 22:3 And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.
Mat 22:4 Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come to the marriage.
Mat 22:5 But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Mat 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and treated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
Mat 22:7 But when the king heard [of it], he was angry: and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Mat 22:8 Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.
Mat 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage.
Mat 22:10 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.
Mat 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding garment:
Mat 22:12 And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Mat 22:13 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.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
Mat 22:15 ¶ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.
Mat 22:16 And they sent out to 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.
Mat 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Mat 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
Mat 22:19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a penny.
Mat 22:20 And he saith to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
Mat 22:21 They say to him, Caesar’s. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.
Mat 22:22 When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and left him, and departed.
Mat 22:23 ¶ The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Mat 22:24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Mat 22:25 Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, died, and, having no issue, left his wife to his brother:
Mat 22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
Mat 22:27 And last of all the woman died also.
Mat 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Mat 22:31 But as concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Mat 22:32 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.
Mat 22:33 And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at his doctrine.
Mat 22:34 ¶ But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together about him.
Mat 22:35 Then one of them, [who was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,
Mat 22:36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
Mat 22:37 Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39 And the second [is] like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Mat 22:41 ¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Mat 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, [The Son] of David.
Mat 22:43 He saith to them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Mat 22:44 The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?
Mat 22:45 If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
Mat 22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dared any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions].
Mat 23:1 ¶ Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Mat 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses:
Mat 23:3 All therefore whatever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye according to their works: for they say, and do not.
Mat 23:4 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.
Mat 23:5 But all their works they do to be seen by men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Mat 23:6 And love the uppermost places at feasts, and the best seats in the synagogues,
Mat 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Mat 23:9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ.
Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mat 23:12 And whoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Mat 23:13 ¶ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither allow ye them that are entering to go in.
Mat 23:14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Mat 23:15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye travel sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Mat 23:16 Woe to you, [ye] blind guides, who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Mat 23:17 [Ye] fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
Mat 23:18 And, Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is bound.
Mat 23:19 [Ye] fools and blind: for which [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Mat 23:20 Whoever therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things on it.
Mat 23:21 And whoever shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it.
Mat 23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth upon it.
Mat 23:23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, justice, mercy, and faith: these ye ought to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
Mat 23:24 [Ye] blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Mat 23:25 Woe to 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.
Mat 23:26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Mat 23:27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men’s] bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28 Thus ye also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Mat 23:29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Mat 23:30 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.
Mat 23:31 Therefore ye are witnesses against yourselves, that ye are the children of them who killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mat 23:34 ¶ Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and [some] of them ye shall kill and crucify; and [some] of them ye shall scourge in your synagogues, and persecute [them] from city to city:
Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Verily I say to you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say to you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Mat 24:1 ¶ And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] to show him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to 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?
Mat 24:4 ¶ And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6 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.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places.
Mat 24:8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall become cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mat 24:15 When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16 Then let them who are in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Mat 24:17 Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18 Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19 And woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight may not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath:
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
Mat 24:24 For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if [it were] possible, they would deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
Mat 24:26 Therefore if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:28 For wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Mat 24:29 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:
Mat 24:30 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.
Mat 24:31 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.
Mat 24:32 ¶ Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When its branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] near:
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be fulfilled.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noah [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so also will be the coming of the Son of man.
Mat 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Mat 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
Mat 24:46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Mat 24:47 Verily I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
Mat 24:48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Mat 24:49 And shall begin to beat [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
Mat 24:50 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,
Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 25:1 ¶ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Mat 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
Mat 25:3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Mat 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Mat 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Mat 25:9 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.
Mat 25:10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say to you, I know you not.
Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of man cometh.
Mat 25:14 ¶ For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
Mat 25:15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his own ability; and immediately took his journey.
Mat 25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
Mat 25:17 And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
Mat 25:18 But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Mat 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
Mat 25:20 And he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.
Mat 25:21 His lord said to 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.
Mat 25:22 He also that h
