Mat 1:1 ¶ The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ,––Son of David, 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 Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram;
Mat 1:4 And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon 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 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 Jechoniah, and his brethren,––upon the removal to Babylon.
Mat 1:12 And, after the removal to Babylon, Jechoniah 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 then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.
Mat 1:18 ¶ Now the birth, of [Jesus] Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph,––before they came together, she was found with child by [the] Holy Spirit.
Mat 1:19 Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her,––intended, privately, to divorce her.
Mat 1:20 But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying,––Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of [the], Holy, Spirit.
Mat 1:21 Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus,–– for, he, will save his people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:
Mat 1:23 Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,––and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.
Mat 1:24 And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him,––and took unto him his wife;
Mat 1:25 and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son,––and he called his name Jesus.
Mat 2:1 ¶ Now, when, Jesus, was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! wise men from eastern parts, came into Jerusalem:
Mat 2:2 saying––Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.
Mat 2:3 But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Mat 2:4 and, assembling all the high–priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them––Where is, the Christ, to be born?
Mat 2:5 And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea,––for, so, is it written through the prophet:
Mat 2:6 And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah,––For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.
Mat 2:7 Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
Mat 2:8 and sending them to Bethlehem, said––Go search out accurately concerning the child,––and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it.
Mat 2:9 ¶ Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;
Mat 2:10 and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
Mat 2:11 and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother,––and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts––gold and frankincense and myrrh;
Mat 2:12 and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
Mat 2:13 ¶ Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee,––for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.
Mat 2:14 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
Mat 2:15 and was there, until the death of Herod,––that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt, called I my son.
Mat 2:16 ¶ Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged,––and sent and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.
Mat 2:17 Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Mat 2:18 A voice, in Ramah, was heard, 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, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;
Mat 2:20 saying––Arise! and take unto thee the child and its mother, and be journeying into the land of Israel,––for they are dead, who were seeking the life of the child.
Mat 2:21 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.
Mat 2:22 Hearing, however, that, Archelaus, was reigning over Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid, thither, to go,––and so, being instructed by dream, he retired into the parts of Galilee;
Mat 2:23 and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth,––that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets––A Nazarene, shall he be called.
Mat 3:1 ¶ Now, in those days, came John the Immerser, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judaea;
Mat 3:2 saying, Repent ye,––for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.
Mat 3:3 For, this, is he who was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, A voice, of one crying aloud! In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.
Mat 3:4 But John, himself, had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins,––while, his food, was locusts and wild honey.
Mat 3:5 Then, were going forth unto him––Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round about the Jordan:
Mat 3:6 and were being immersed in the Jordan river, by him, openly confessing their sins.
Mat 3:7 ¶ But, seeing, many of the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming unto his immersion, he said to them,––Broods of vipers! who suggested to you, to be fleeing from the coming wrath?
Mat 3:8 Bring forth, therefore, fruit worthy of repentance;
Mat 3:9 and think not to be saying within yourselves,––As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you, that God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto Abraham.
Mat 3:10 Already also, the axe, unto the root of the trees, is being laid,––every tree, therefore, not bringing forth good fruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast.
Mat 3:11 I, indeed, am immersing you, in water, unto repentance,––but, he who, after me, cometh is, mightier than I, whose, sandals, I am not worthy to bear, he, will immerse you, in Holy Spirit and fire:
Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will clear out his threshing–floor,––and will gather his wheat into the granary, but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.
Mat 3:13 ¶ Then, cometh Jesus, from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John,––to be immersed by him.
Mat 3:14 But, he, would have hindered him, saying––I, have, need, by thee, to be immersed,––and dost, thou, come unto me?
Mat 3:15 But Jesus answering, said unto him, Suffer [me] even now,––for, thus, it becometh us, to fulfill, all righteousness; then, he suffered him.
Mat 3:16 And Jesus, having been immersed, straightway, went up from the water,––and lo! the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God, descending like a dove coming upon him;
Mat 3:17 and lo! a voice out of the heavens,––saying, This, is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight.
Mat 4:1 ¶ Then, Jesus was led up into the wilderness, by the Spirit, to be tempted by the adversary;
Mat 4:2 and, fasting forty days and forty nights,––afterwards, he hungered.
Mat 4:3 And, coming near, the tempter said to him,––If thou art God’s, Son, speak! that, these stones, may become, loaves.
Mat 4:4 But, he, answering, said, It is written,––Not on bread alone, shall man live, but on every declaration coming forth through the mouth of God.
Mat 4:5 Then, the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city,––and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple;
Mat 4:6 and saith to him––If thou art God’s, Son, cast thyself down,––for it is written, To his messengers, will he give charge concerning thee; and, on hands, will they bear thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
Mat 4:7 Jesus said to him, Again, it is written,––Thou shalt not put to the test, the Lord thy God.
Mat 4:8 Again, the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain,––and pointeth out to him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
Mat 4:9 and said to him, All these things, will I give thee,––if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written,––The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service.
Mat 4:11 Then, the adversary leaveth him,––and lo! messengers came near, and began ministering unto him.
Mat 4:12 ¶ And, hearing that, John, had been delivered up, he retired into Galilee;
Mat 4:13 and, forsaking Nazareth, he came and fixed his dwelling in Capernaum, which was by the lake,––within the bounds of Zebulun and Naphtali:
Mat 4:14 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
Mat 4:15 Land of Zebulun, and land of Naphtali, the lake–way across the Jordan,––Galilee of the nations,
Mat 4:16 The people that was sitting in darkness, a great light, beheld,––and, on them who were sitting in land and shade of death, Light rose on them.
Mat 4:17 From that time, began Jesus to be making proclamation, and saying,––Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.
Mat 4:18 ¶ And, walking round beside the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren––Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,––casting a large fishing–net into the sea, for they were fishers;
Mat 4:19 and he saith unto them, Come after me,––and I will make you fishers, of men.
Mat 4:20 And, they, straightway, leaving the nets, followed him.
Mat 4:21 And, going forward from thence, he saw other two brethren––James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother––in the boat with Zebedee their father, putting in order their nets,––and he called them.
Mat 4:22 And, they, straightway, leaving the boat and their father, followed him.
Mat 4:23 ¶ And Jesus was going round throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad–message of the kingdom,––and curing every disease, and every infirmity, among the people.
Mat 4:24 And forth went the report of him into all Syria; and they brought unto him all who were sick, with divers diseases and tortures, distressed, demonized and lunatic and paralyzed,––and he cured them.
Mat 4:25 And there followed him large multitudes––from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and across the Jordan.
Mat 5:1 ¶ But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain,––and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
Mat 5:2 and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying:––
Mat 5:3 ¶ Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
Mat 5:4 Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
Mat 5:5 Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
Mat 5:6 Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
Mat 5:7 Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
Mat 5:8 Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
Mat 5:9 Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
Mat 5:10 Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
Mat 5:11 Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
Mat 5:12 Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
Mat 5:13 ¶ Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on by men.
Mat 5:14 Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
Mat 5:15 Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
Mat 5:16 In like manner, let your light shine before men,––that they may see your good works,––and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets,––I came not to pull down, but to fulfill.
Mat 5:18 For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Mat 5:21 ¶ Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time,––Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
Mat 5:22 But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment,––and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna.
Mat 5:23 If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
Mat 5:24 leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw,––first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
Mat 5:25 Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way,––lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
Mat 5:26 Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
Mat 5:27 ¶ Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28 But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
Mat 5:29 And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee,––for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna.
Mat 5:30 And, if, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee,––for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart.
Mat 5:31 It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
Mat 5:32 But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife––saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress,––[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
Mat 5:33 ¶ Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely,––but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
Mat 5:34 But, I, tell you––not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God,––
Mat 5:35 Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
Mat 5:36 Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
Mat 5:37 But let your word be, Yea, yea,––Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
Mat 5:38 ¶ Ye have heard, that it was said,––Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
Mat 5:39 But, I, tell you, not to resist evil,––Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
Mat 5:40 And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
Mat 5:41 And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
Mat 5:42 To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
Mat 5:43 ¶ Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Mat 5:44 But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
Mat 5:45 That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
Mat 5:46 For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax–collectors, the same thing, doing?
Mat 5:47 And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
Mat 5:48 Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is––perfect.
Mat 6:1 ¶ [But] take heed, that ye do not, your righteousness, before men, to be gazed at by them,––otherwise at least, reward, have ye none, with your Father who is in the heavens.
Mat 6:2 When, therefore, thou mayest be doing an alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, just as, the hypocrites, do in the synagogues and in the streets––that they may be glorified by men,––Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.
Mat 6:3 But, thou, when doing an alms, let not, thy left hand, know what thy right hand is doing;
Mat 6:4 that thine alms may be in secret,––and, thy Father, who seeth in secret, will give it back to thee.
Mat 6:5 ¶ And, when ye may be praying, ye shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love, in the synagogues, and at the corners of the broad ways, to take their stand and pray, that they may shine before men; Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.
Mat 6:6 But, thou, when thou wouldest pray, enter into thy closet, and, fastening thy door, pray unto thy Father who is in secret,––and, thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee.
Mat 6:7 And, being at prayer, use not vain repetitions, just like the nations,––for they think, that, in their much speaking, they shall be hoard;
Mat 6:8 do not, therefore, make yourselves like them, for [God] your Father knoweth of what things ye have, need, before ye ask him.
Mat 6:9 ¶ Thus, therefore pray, ye: Our Father, who art in the heavens,––Hallowed be thy name,
Mat 6:10 Come may thy kingdom,––Accomplished be thy will, as in heaven, also on earth:
Mat 6:11 Our needful bread, give us, this day;
Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as, we also, have forgiven our debtors;
Mat 6:13 And bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
Mat 6:14 For, if ye forgive men their faults, Your Father who is in the heavens, will forgive, even you;
Mat 6:15 But, if ye forgive not men [their faults], neither will your Father forgive, your faults.
Mat 6:16 ¶ And, when ye may he fasting, become not ye, as the hypocrites, of sullen countenance,––for they darken their looks, that they may appear, unto men, to be fasting: Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.
Mat 6:17 But, when, thou, art fasting, anoint thy head, and, thy face, wash,––
Mat 6:18 that thou do not appear, unto men, to be fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret,––and, thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee.
Mat 6:19 ¶ Be not laying up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where, moth and rust, do tarnish, and where, thieves, dig through and steal;
Mat 6:20 but be laying up or yourselves treasures in heaven, where, neither moth nor rust, doth tarnish, and where, thieves, dig not through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 for, where, thy treasure, is, there, will be, thy heart [also].
Mat 6:22 The lamp of the body, is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body, shall be, lighted up;
Mat 6:23 But, if thine eye be, evil, thy whole body, shall be, in the dark; ––if therefore, the light which is in thee, is, darkness, the darkness, how great!
Mat 6:24 No one, unto two masters, can be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, one, he will hold to, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot be in service, unto God, and, unto Riches.
Mat 6:25 ¶ For this cause, I say unto you: Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat [or what ye shall drink], ––or for your body, what ye shall put on: Is not, the life, more than, the food? And, the body, than, the raiment?
Mat 6:26 Observe intently, the birds of the heaven,––that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet, your heavenly Father, feedeth, them: Are no, ye, much better than, they?
Mat 6:27 But who from among you, being anxious, can add to his stature one cubit?
Mat 6:28 And, about clothing, why are ye anxious? Consider well the lilies of the field, how they grow,––they toil not neither do they spin;
Mat 6:29 And yet, I say unto you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like, one of these!
Mat 6:30 Now, if the grass of the field––which today, is, and, tomorrow, into an oven, is cast––God thus adorneth, not much rather, you, little of faith?
Mat 6:31 Do not then be anxious saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be arrayed?
Mat 6:32 For, all these things, the nations, seek after,––for your heavenly Father, knoweth, that ye are needing, all these things.
Mat 6:33 But be seeking first, the kingdom and its righteousness,––and, all these things, shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34 Do not, then, be anxious for the morrow; for the morrow, will be anxious, for itself: Sufficient for the day, is the evil thereof.
Mat 7:1 ¶ Judge not, that ye be not judged; ––
Mat 7:2 For, with what judgment ye judge, shall ye be judged,––and, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured unto you.
Mat 7:3 Why, moreover, beholdest thou the mote, in the eye of thy brother,––while, the beam in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?
Mat 7:4 Or how wilt thou say unto thy brother, Let me cast the mote out of thine eye,––when lo! a beam, is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:5 Hypocrite! cast first, out of thine own eye, the beam,––and, then, shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote, out of the eye of thy brother.
Mat 7:6 Do not give what is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,––lest once they trample, them, down with their feet, and, turning, tear, you.
Mat 7:7 ¶ Be asking, and it shall be given you, Be seeking, and ye shall find,––Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.
Mat 7:8 For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth,––and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.
Mat 7:9 Or what man, from among yourselves, whom his son shall ask for a loaf,––a stone, will give him?
Mat 7:10 Or, a fish also, shall ask,––a serpent, will give him?
Mat 7:11 If then, ye, being, evil, know how, good gifts, to be giving unto your children, how much more, will, your Father who is in the heavens, give good things to them that ask, him?
Mat 7:12 ¶ Whatsoever things, therefore, ye would, that men be doing unto you, so, be, ye also, doing, unto them,––for, this, is the law and the prophets.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at, the narrow gate; because broad and roomy is the way that leadeth unto destruction,––and, many, are they who enter thereby:
Mat 7:14 Because, narrow, is the gate, and, confined, the way, that leadeth unto life,––and, few, are they who find, it.
Mat 7:15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, who come unto you in clothing of sheep,––while, within, they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 By their fruits, shall ye find, them, out,––unless perhaps men gather––from thorns, grapes! or, from thistles, figs!
Mat 7:17 So, every good tree, fine fruit, produceth,––whereas, the worthless tree, evil fruit, produceth:
Mat 7:18 It is, impossible, for a, good tree, to be bearing, evil fruit, neither doth, a worthless tree, produce, fine fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that beareth not fine fruit, is hewn down, and, into fire, is cast.
Mat 7:20 After all then, by their fruits, shall ye find, them, out.
Mat 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord! Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens,––but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
Mat 7:22 Many, will say unto me, in, that, day, Lord! Lord! did we not, in thy name, prophesy, and, in thy name, cast, demons, out,––and, in thy name, many works of power, perform?
Mat 7:23 And, then, will I confess unto them, Never, have I acknowledged you,––Depart from me, ye workers of lawlessness!
Mat 7:24 Every one, therefore, who heareth [these] my words, and doeth them, shall be likened to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and rushed against that house, and it fell not; for it had been founded upon the rock.
Mat 7:26 And every one who heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, and it fell; and, the fall thereof, was, great.
Mat 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, with astonishment were the multitudes being struck at his teaching;
Mat 7:29 for he was teaching them as one having, authority, and not as their Scribes.
Mat 8:1 ¶ And when he came down from the mountain, there followed him large multitudes.
Mat 8:2 And lo! a leper, coming near, began to bow down to him saying,––Lord! if thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me.
Mat 8:3 And, stretching forth the hand, he touched him, saying,––I am willing, be cleansed! And, straightway, cleansed was his leprosy.
Mat 8:4 And Jesus saith unto him, Mind! tell, no one,––but withdraw, thyself, shew to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses directed, for a witness unto them.
Mat 8:5 ¶ And, when he entered into Capernaum, there came near unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
Mat 8:6 and saying, Lord! my servant, is laid prostrate in the house, a paralytic, fearfully tortured.
Mat 8:7 He saith unto him, I, will come and cure him.
Mat 8:8 But the centurion, answering, said, Lord! I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldest enter,––but, only say with a word, and healed shall be my servant.
Mat 8:9 For, I also, am a man [set] under authority, having under myself, soldiers,––and I say to this one, Go! and he goeth, and to another, Come! and he cometh, and, to my servant, Do this! and he doeth it.
Mat 8:10 Now Jesus, hearing, marveled, and said to them that followed,––Verily, I say unto you, With no one in Israel, such faith as this, have I found.
Mat 8:11 But I say unto you, Many from east and west, will have come, and shall recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens;
Mat 8:12 Whereas, the sons of the kingdom, shall be cast forth into the darkness outside,––There, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Withdraw! and, as thou hast believed, be it done for thee. And healed was the servant in that hour.
Mat 8:14 ¶ And Jesus, coming into the house of Peter, saw his mother–in–law laid prostrate and in a fever,
Mat 8:15 and he touched her hand, and the fever left her,––and she arose, and began ministering unto him.
Mat 8:16 But, when, evening, came, they brought unto him many demonized,––and he cast out the spirits with a word, and, all who were sick, he cured:
Mat 8:17 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,––Himself, our weaknesses, took, and, diseases, bare.
Mat 8:18 ¶ Now Jesus, seeing a multitude about him, gave orders to depart unto the other side.
Mat 8:19 And a certain scribe, coming near, said unto him,––Teacher; I will follow thee, whithersoever Thou goest.
Mat 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him: The foxes, have, dens, and, the birds of the heavens, nests,––but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head he may recline.
Mat 8:21 And, another of the disciples, saith unto him,––Lord! suffer me, first, to depart, and bury my father.
Mat 8:22 But, Jesus, saith unto him,––Be following me, and leave, the dead, to bury, their own dead.
Mat 8:23 ¶ And, when he, entered, into a boat, his disciples followed him.
Mat 8:24 And lo! a great squall, arose in the sea, so that, the boat, was being covered, by the waves,––but, he, was sleeping.
Mat 8:25 And, coming near, they aroused him, saying, Master! save, we perish!
Mat 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why, are ye, fearful, little of faith? Then, aroused, he rebuked the winds and the sea,––and it became a great calm.
Mat 8:27 But, the men, marveled, saying, Whence is this one,––that, both the winds and the sea, unto him, give ear?
Mat 8:28 ¶ And, when he, came, unto the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him, two men demonized, out of the tombs, coming forth,––fierce exceedingly, so that no one could pass that way;
Mat 8:29 and lo! they cried aloud, saying, What have we in common with thee, O Son of God? Hast thou come hither, before the right time, to torment us?
Mat 8:30 Now there was, far from them, a herd of many swine, feeding;
Mat 8:31 and, the demons, began to beseech him, saying, If thou dost cast us out, send us away, into the herd of swine.
Mat 8:32 And he said unto them, Withdraw! So, they, going out, departed into the swine,––and lo! all the herd rushed down the cliff, into the sea, and died in the waters.
Mat 8:33 And, they who were feeding them, fled,––and, departing into the city, reported all things, and what concerned them who had been demonized.
Mat 8:34 And lo! all the city, came out to meet Jesus,––and, seeing him, they besought that he would pass on from their bounds.
Mat 9:1 ¶ And, entering into a boat, he crossed over, and came into his own city.
Mat 9:2 And lo! they were bringing unto him a paralytic, on a couch, laid prostrate; and Jesus, seeing, their faith, said to the paralytic,––Take courage! child, forgiven are thy sins.
Mat 9:3 And lo! certain of the scribes, said within themselves,––This man, speaketh profanely!
Mat 9:4 And Jesus, knowing, their inward thoughts, said,––To what end are ye cherishing evil thoughts within your hearts?
Mat 9:5 For which is easier––To say, Forgiven are thy sins,––or to say, Rise and be walking!
Mat 9:6 But, that ye may know, that the Son of Man hath, authority, upon the earth, to be forgiving sins, then, saith he to the paralytic,––Rise! take up thy couch, and withdraw unto thy house.
Mat 9:7 And, rising, he departed unto his house.
Mat 9:8 Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.
Mat 9:9 ¶ And Jesus, passing aside from thence, saw a man presiding over the tax–office, called, Matthew, and saith unto him,––Be following me. And, arising, he followed him.
Mat 9:10 And it came to pass, as he was reclining in the house, that lo! many tax–collectors and sinners, came, and were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples.
Mat 9:11 And, the Pharisees, observing it, began to say unto his disciples,––Wherefore, with tax–collectors and sinners, doth your Teacher eat?
Mat 9:12 And, he, hearing it, said,––No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who are sick.
Mat 9:13 But go ye, and learn what this meaneth,––Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice; For I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Mat 9:14 ¶ Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying,––Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?
Mat 9:15 And Jesus said unto them,––Can, the sons of the bridechamber, mourn, so long as, the bridegroom, is, with them? But days will come, when the bridegroom, shall be taken from them, and, then, will they fast.
Mat 9:16 Howbeit, no one, layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth, upon an old garment,––for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and, a worse rent, is made.
Mat 9:17 Neither pour they new wine into old skins: otherwise at least, the skins are burst, and, the wine, runneth out, and, the skins, are spoiled,––but they pour new wine into unused skins, and, both, are together preserved.
Mat 9:18 ¶ While, these things, he was speaking unto them, lo! a [certain] ruler, came, and began bowing down to him, saying,––My daughter, just now died! But come, and lay thy hand upon, her, and she shall live.
Mat 9:19 And Jesus, arising, was following him, also his disciples.
Mat 9:20 And lo! a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle.
Mat 9:21 For she kept saying within herself,––If only I touch his mantle, I shall be made well!
Mat 9:22 And, Jesus, turning and seeing her, said,––Take courage! daughter, Thy faith, hath made thee well. And the woman was made well, from that hour.
Mat 9:23 And, Jesus, coming, into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute–players and the multitude in confusion, was saying:
Mat 9:24 Give place! for the maiden died not, but is sleeping. And they began to deride him.
Mat 9:25 But, when the multitude had been put forth, he went in, and grasped her hand,––and the maiden arose.
Mat 9:26 And forth went this report, into the whole of that land.
Mat 9:27 ¶ And, as Jesus, was passing aside from thence, there followed him, two blind men, crying aloud and saying,––Have mercy on us, O Son of David!
Mat 9:28 And, when he entered the house, the blind men came unto him,––and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye, that I can, do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord!
Mat 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.
Mat 9:30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus, sternly charged them, saying, Mind! let no one know!
Mat 9:31 They, however, going forth, made him known throughout the whole of that land.
Mat 9:32 And, as, they, were going forth, lo! there was brought to him, a dumb man, demonized.
Mat 9:33 And, the demon being cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marveled, saying,––Never, was it seen thus, in Israel.
Mat 9:34 [But, the Pharisees, beg to say, In the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the demons.]
Mat 9:35 ¶ And Jesus was going round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad–message of the kingdom,––and curing every disease, and every infirmity.
Mat 9:36 But, seeing the multitudes, he was moved with compassion concerning them, because they were torn and thrown down, like sheep hating no shepherd.
Mat 9:37 Then, saith he unto his disciples, The harvest, indeed, is great, but, the labourers, few;
Mat 9:38 Beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest,––That he would thrust forth labourers, into his harvest.
Mat 10:1 ¶ And, calling near his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over impure spirits,––so as to be casting them out, and curing every disease and every infirmity.
Mat 10:2 Now, the twelve apostles’ names, are these:––first Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,––and 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 Thadaeus;
Mat 10:4 Simon, the zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up.
Mat 10:5 ¶ These twelve, Jesus sent forth, charging them, saying:––Into any way to the nations, do not depart,––and, into any city of Samaritans, do not enter;
Mat 10:6 But be going, rather, unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 10:7 And, as ye go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near!
Mat 10:8 Be curing, the sick, raising, the dead,––cleansing, lepers, casting out, demons: freely, ye have, received, freely, give.
Mat 10:9 Ye may procure––neither gold, nor silver, nor copper, for your belts,––
Mat 10:10 neither satchel for journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his maintenance.
Mat 10:11 And, into whatsoever city or village ye enter, search out who in it is, worthy, and, there, abide, till ye go forth.
Mat 10:12 And, as ye enter the house, salute 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, unto you, return.
Mat 10:14 And, whosoever shall neither welcome you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth outside that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet:
Mat 10:15 Verily, I say unto you,––More tolerable, will it be, for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for, that, city!
Mat 10:16 ¶ Lo! I, send you forth as sheep amidst wolves; become ye therefore––prudent, as serpents, and simple, as doves.
Mat 10:17 But beware of men; for they will deliver you up into high–councils, and, in their synagogues, will they scourge you,––
Mat 10:18 And, before both governor and kings, shall ye be brought, for my sake––for a witness to them and the nations.
Mat 10:19 And, when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak,––for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
Mat 10:20 For it is not, ye, who are speaking, but, the Spirit of your Father, that is speaking in you.
Mat 10:21 And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child,––and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them to death.
Mat 10:22 And ye will be hated by all, because of my name,––but, he that endureth throughout, the same, shall be saved.
Mat 10:23 And, when they persecute you in this city, flee into another,––for, verily, I say unto you, in nowise shall ye finish the cities of Israel, till, he Son of Man, come.
Mat 10:24 A, disciple, is not above, the teacher, nor, a servant, above, his lord:
Mat 10:25 Sufficient for the disciple, that he become, as his teacher, and, the servant, as, his lord. If, the master of the house, Beelzebul, they called, how much more, the men of his house!
Mat 10:26 Then do not fear them,––for, nothing hath been covered, which shall not be, uncovered, and, hidden, which shall not be, made known.
Mat 10:27 What I am saying to you in the darkness, tell ye in the light,––and, what [whispered] into the ear ye are hearing, proclaim ye on the housetops.
Mat 10:28 And be not in fear, by reason of them that are killing the body,––and, the soul, are not able to kill. But fear, rather, him who is able, both soul and body, to destroy in gehenna!
Mat 10:29 Are not, two sparrows, for a farthing, sold? And, one from among them, shall not fall upon the ground, without your Father;
Mat 10:30 But, even the hairs of, your, head, have all been numbered.
Mat 10:31 Then be not in fear––than many sparrows, better are, ye!
Mat 10:32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also, will confess, him, before my Father who is in the heavens;
Mat 10:33 But, whoever shall deny me before men, I also, will deny, him, before my Father who is in the heavens.
Mat 10:34 Do not think, that I came to thrust peace upon the earth,––I came not to thrust, peace, but, a sword;
Mat 10:35 For I came to set at variance––a man, against, his father, and, a daughter, against, her mother, and, a bride, against, her mother–in–law;
Mat 10:36 And, a man foes, are, they of his own house.
Mat 10:37 He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me,––and, he that loveth son or daughter above me, is not, worthy, of me;
Mat 10:38 And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me.
Mat 10:39 He that hath found his life, shall lose it,––and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.
Mat 10:40 He that giveth welcome unto you, unto me, giveth welcome, and, he that, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome––unto him that sent me forth.
Mat 10:41 He that giveth welcome unto a prophet, in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet, shall receive; and, he that giveth welcome unto a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, the reward of a righteous man, shall receive; ––
Mat 10:42 And, whosoever shall give to drink––unto one of these little ones––a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, Verily, I say unto you, in nowise, shall lose his reward!
Mat 11:1 ¶ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he passed on from thence, to be teaching and proclaiming in their cities.
Mat 11:2 Now, John, hearing in the prison the works of the Christ, sending through his disciples,
Mat 11:3 said unto him, Art, thou, the coming one? or, a different one, are we to expect?
Mat 11:4 And, answering, Jesus said unto them––Go report unto John what ye do hear and see:––
Mat 11:5 The, blind, recover sight, and, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear,––and, the dead, are raised, and, the destitute, are told the joyful tidings;
Mat 11:6 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find cause of stumbling, in me.
Mat 11:7 ¶ But, as these were going their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John,––What went ye forth into the wilderness to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
Mat 11:8 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft clothing, arrayed? Lo! they who soft clothing do wear, are in the houses of kings.
Mat 11:9 But why went ye forth? A prophet, to see? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
Mat 11:10 This, is he, concerning whom it is written,––Lo! I, send my messenger before thy face, who shall make ready thy way before thee!
Mat 11:11 Verily, I say unto you––There hath not arisen, among such as are born of women, a greater than John the Immerser,––yet, he that is less in the kingdom of the heavens, is, greater than he.
Mat 11:12 But, from the days of John the Immerser, until even now, the kingdom of the heavens, is being invaded, and, invaders, are, seizing upon it.
Mat 11:13 For, all the prophets and the law, until John, did prophesy;
Mat 11:14 And, if ye are willing to accept it, he, is Elijah––the one destined to come.
Mat 11:15 He that hath ears, let him hear!
Mat 11:16 ¶ But, unto what, shall I liken this generation? It is, like, unto children, sitting the market–places, who, calling unto the others,
Mat 11:17 say, We played the flute to you, and ye danced not,––we sang a lament, and ye beat not the breast.
Mat 11:18 For, John, came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say––A demon, he hath!
Mat 11:19 The Son of Man, came, eating and drinking, and they say, Lo! a gluttonous man and a wine–drinker! a friend of, tax–collectors, and sinners! And yet wisdom hath been justified by her works.
Mat 11:20 Then, began he to upbraid the cities, in which had been done his noblest mighty works; because they repented not:––
Mat 11:21 Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power, which were done in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes, had they repented.
Mat 11:22 Moreover, I say unto you, For Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the day of judgment, than for you.
Mat 11:23 And, thou, Capernaum! Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? Unto hades, thou shall be brought down; because, if, in Sodom, had been done the works of power, which were done in thee, it would, in that case, have remained until this day.
Mat 11:24 Moreover, I say unto you––For the land of Sodom, more tolerable, will it be in a day of judgment, than, for thee.
Mat 11:25 ¶ In that season, answered Jesus, and said––I openly give praise unto thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,––in that thou hast hid these things from the wise and discerning, and hast revealed them unto babes;
Mat 11:26 Yea, O Father! That, so, it hath become, a delight, before thee.
Mat 11:27 All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, fully knoweth the Son, save the rather, neither doth any one fully know, the Father, save, the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son, may be minded, to reveal, him.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me! all ye that toil and are burdened, and, I, will give you rest:
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me,––because, meek, am I and lowly, in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls;
Mat 11:30 For, my yoke, is easy, and, my burden, light.
Mat 12:1 ¶ In that season, went Jesus, on, the sabbath, through the cornfields,––and, his disciples, hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat.
Mat 12:2 But, the Pharisees, observing it, said unto him, Lo! thy disciples, are doing what is not allowed to do, on sabbath.
Mat 12:3 And he said unto them, have ye never read what, David, did, when he hungered, and they who were with him? how
Mat 12:4 he entered into the house of God and, the presence–bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him,––save for the priests, alone?
Mat 12:5 Or have ye not read, in the law, that, on the sabbaths, the priests, in the temple, the sabbath, profane, and are, blameless?
Mat 12:6 But I say unto you,––Something greater than the Temple, is here!
Mat 12:7 If, however, ye had known what this meaneth––Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the blameless;
Mat 12:8 For, the Son of Man, is, Lord of the Sabbath.
Mat 12:9 And, passing on from thence, he came into their synagogue;
Mat 12:10 and lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? that they might accuse him.
Mat 12:11 And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, [shall there be], ––Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?
Mat 12:12 How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act.
Mat 12:13 Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth,––and it was restored, whole, as the other.
Mat 12:14 ¶ And the Pharisees, going forth, took, counsel, against him, to the end that, him, they might destroy.
Mat 12:15 But, Jesus, taking note, retired from thence,––and many followed him, and he cured them all;
Mat 12:16 and straitly charged them, lest they should make him, manifest:
Mat 12:17 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:––
Mat 12:18 Lo! my servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom, my soul, delighteth,––I will put my Spirit upon him, and, justice, unto the nations, will he report:
Mat 12:19 He will not strive, nor will he cry out, nor shall any hear, in the broadways, his voice:
Mat 12:20 A bruised cane, will he not break, and, a smoking wick, will he not quench,––until he urge on, justice, to victory,
Mat 12:21 And, in his name, shall nations hope.
Mat 12:22 ¶ Then they brought unto him, one demonized, blind and dumb,––and he cured him, so that the dumb did speak and see.
Mat 12:23 And all the multitudes were beside themselves, and were saying, Can, this one, be, the Son of David?
Mat 12:24 But, the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This one, doth not cast out the demons, save in Beelzebul ruler of the demons.
Mat 12:25 And, knowing their inward thoughts, he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is laid waste,––and, no city or house divided against itself, will stand;
Mat 12:26 And, if, Satan, is casting, Satan, out, against himself, hath he become divided,––How then shall, his kingdom, stand?
Mat 12:27 And, if, I, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, they, shall be, judges of you.
Mat 12:28 But, if, in God’s Spirit, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless hath come upon you unawares, the kingdom of God!
Mat 12:29 Or how can one enter the house of the mighty and, seize his goods, unless, first, he bind the mighty one? and, then, his house, he will plunder.
Mat 12:30 He that is no with me, is, against me,––and, he that gathereth not with me, scattereth
Mat 12:31 Wherefore, I say unto you, All sin and profane speaking, shall be forgiven unto men,––but, the speaking profanely of the Spirit, shall not be forgiven;
Mat 12:32 And, whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him,––but, whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or the coming.
Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree worthless, and its fruit worthless; for, from the fruit, the tree is known.
Mat 12:34 Broods of vipers! How can ye speak, good things, being, evil? For, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
Mat 12:35 The good man, out of the good treasure, putteth forth, good things; and, the evil man, out of the evil treasure, putteth forth, evil things.
Mat 12:36 But I say unto you, That, every useless expression that men shall utter, they shall render, concerning it, an account, in a day of judgment;
Mat 12:37 For, by thy words, shalt thou be, justified, and, by thy words, shalt thou be condemned.
Mat 12:38 ¶ Then, answered him, certain of the Scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher! we desire of thee, a sign, to behold.
Mat 12:39 But, he, answering, said unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek, and, a sign, will not be, given, it, save the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Mat 12:40 For, just as was Jonah in the belly of the sea–monster three days and three nights, so, will be the Son of Man, in the heart of the earth, three days and three nights.
Mat 12:41 Men of Nineveh, will rise up in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it,––because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah; and lo! something greater than Jonah, here.
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south, will arise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it––because she came out of the ends of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something greater than Solomon, here.
Mat 12:43 But, when the impure spirit goeth out of the man, it passeth through waterless places, seeking rest,––and findeth it not.
Mat 12:44 Then, it saith, Into my house, will I return whence I came out,––and, coming, findeth it empty [and] swept and adorned.
Mat 12:45 Then, it goeth, and taketh along with itself, seven diverse spirits, more wicked than itself,––and, entering, abideth there; and, the last state of that man, becometh, worse than the first. So, shall it be, with this, wicked, generation.
Mat 12:46 ¶ While yet he was speaking unto the multitudes, lo! his mother and brethren, were standing without, seeking to speak with him.
Mat 12:47 [And one said to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brethren, without, are standing, seeking, to speak, with thee.]
Mat 12:48 But, he, answering, said unto him that was telling him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Mat 12:49 And, stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said, Lo! my mother and my brethren!
Mat 12:50 For, whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he, is my, brother, and sister, and mother.
Mat 13:1 ¶ On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near the sea:
Mat 13:2 and there were gathered unto him, large multitudes, so that, he, into a boat, entered, and was sitting, and, all the multitude, on the beach was standing.
Mat 13:3 And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth to sow,––
Mat 13:4 and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
Mat 13:5 And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth,––and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;
Mat 13:6 and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;
Mat 13:7 And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
Mat 13:8 But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit,––this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
Mat 13:9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
Mat 13:10 And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
Mat 13:11 And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens,––whereas, unto them, hath it not been given.
Mat 13:12 For, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound,––but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him?
Mat 13:13 For this reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak,––because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not,––neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith,––They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet not perceive;
Mat 13:15 For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed,––lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.
Mat 13:16 But happy are, your, eyes, that they see, and your ears, that they hear;
Mat 13:17 For, verily, I say unto you––Many prophets and righteous men, have coveted to see what ye see, and have not seen, and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard.
Mat 13:18 Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed:––
Mat 13:19 When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth up that which hath been sown in his heart,––this, is he, by the pathway, sown.
Mat 13:20 And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;
Mat 13:21 yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season,––and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.
Mat 13:22 And, he among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word,––and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh.
Mat 13:23 But, he on the good ground sown, the same, is he who doth hear and understand the word, who, indeed, beareth fruit and produceth,––this, a hundred, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
Mat 13:24 ¶ Another parable, put he before them, saying––The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
Mat 13:25 and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat,––and away he went.
Mat 13:26 And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, fruit, then, appeared, the darnel also.
Mat 13:27 And the servants of the householder, coming near, said to him,––Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath it, darnel?
Mat 13:28 And he said unto them––An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him––Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?
Mat 13:29 And, he, saith––Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:
Mat 13:30 Suffer both to grow together until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers,––Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.
Mat 13:31 Another parable, put he before them, saying––The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;
Mat 13:32 which, indeed, is, less, than all seeds, but, when grown, is greater than garden–plants, and becometh a tree,––so that the birds of heaven come, and lodge among its branches.
Mat 13:33 Another parable, [spake he unto them]:––The kingdom of the heavens is like, unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until, the whole, was leavened.
Mat 13:34 All these things, spake Jesus in parables, unto the multitudes, and, without a parable, was he speaking, nothing, unto them:
Mat 13:35 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying––I will open, in parables, my mouth, I will bring up things hidden from the foundation!
Mat 13:36 Then, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying––Make quite plain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
Mat 13:37 And, he, answering, said––He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of Man;
Mat 13:38 And, the field, is the world, and, the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom,––and, the darnel seeds, are the sons of the evil one;
Mat 13:39 And, the enemy that sowed them, is the adversary, and, the harvest, is, the conclusion of an age, and, the reapers, are, messengers.
Mat 13:40 Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion of the age:––
Mat 13:41 The Son of Man will send forth his messengers, and they will collect, out of his kingdom, all the causes of stumbling, and the doers of lawlessness,
Mat 13:42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then, the righteous, will shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear!
Mat 13:44 ¶ The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a treasure hid in the field, which a man, finding, hid,––and, by reason of his joy, withdraweth and selleth whatsoever he hath, and buyeth that field.
Mat 13:45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls,––
Mat 13:46 and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever he had, and bought it.
Mat 13:47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a large drag–net, cast into the sea and gathering of every kind,––
Mat 13:48 which, when it was filled, they dragged up on the beach, and, sitting down, collected the good into vessels, but, the worthless, forth they cast.
Mat 13:49 So, will it be in the conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous;
Mat 13:50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:51 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
Mat 13:52 And, he, said unto them––Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth out of his treasure, things new and old.
Mat 13:53 ¶ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;
Mat 13:54 and, coming into his own city, began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying––Whence, hath, this one, this wisdom, and the mighty works?
Mat 13:55 Is not, this one, the carpenter’s, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren––James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
Mat 13:56 and, his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then hath, this one, all these things?
Mat 13:57 And they began to find cause of stumbling in him. But, Jesus, said unto them––A prophet is not without honour, save in his city, and in his house.
Mat 13:58 And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
Mat 14:1 ¶ In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus:
Mat 14:2 and he said unto his servants––This, is John the Immerser,––he hath arisen from the dead, for this cause, are the powers working mightily within him.
Mat 14:3 For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away,––because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother;
Mat 14:4 for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her.
Mat 14:5 And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him.
Mat 14:6 But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod;
Mat 14:7 wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;
Mat 14:8 and, she, being led on by her mother,––Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
Mat 14:9 And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given;
Mat 14:10 and sent and beheaded John in the prison.
Mat 14:11 And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.
Mat 14:12 And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus.
Mat 14:13 ¶ And Jesus, hearing it, retired from thence in a boat, into a desert place, apart,––and the multitudes, hearing of it, followed him on foot from the cities.
Mat 14:14 And, coming forth, he saw a great multitude,––and was moved with compassion over them, and cured their sick.
Mat 14:15 And, evening, arriving, the disciples came unto him, saying––The place is, a desert, and, the hour, hath already passed,––dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, and buy themselves food.
Mat 14:16 But, Jesus, said unto them, No need, have they to go away,––give, ye, them to eat.
Mat 14:17 But, they, say unto him––We have nothing here, save five loaves and two fishes.
Mat 14:18 But, he, said––Bring, them, to me, here.
Mat 14:19 And, giving orders that the multitudes should recline upon the grass,––taking the five loaves and the two fishes,––looking up into the heaven, he blessed; and, breaking, gave, the disciples, the loaves, and the disciples unto the multitude.
Mat 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled,––and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve baskets, full.
Mat 14:21 And, they who did eat, were about five thousand, men, besides women and children.
Mat 14:22 ¶ And [straightway] constrained he the disciples to enter into a boat, and be going before him unto the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes.
Mat 14:23 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain, apart, to pray,––and when, evening, came, alone, was he, there.
Mat 14:24 Now, the boat, still many furlongs from the land, was holding off, being distressed by the waves,––for, the wind, was, contrary.
Mat 14:25 And, in the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea.
Mat 14:26 And, the disciples, seeing him, upon the lake walking, were troubled,––saying––It is, a ghost; and, by reason of their fear, they cried out.
Mat 14:27 And, straightway, Jesus spake unto them, saying––Take courage! it is, I,––be not afraid.
Mat 14:28 And, making answer, Peter said unto him,––Lord! if it is, thou, bid me come unto thee, upon the waters.
Mat 14:29 And, he, said––Come! And, descending from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters, and came unto Jesus.
Mat 14:30 But, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, saying––Lord! save me!
Mat 14:31 And, straightway, Jesus, stretching forth his hand, laid hold upon him and saith unto him––O little–of–faith! why didst thou doubt?
Mat 14:32 And, when they came up into the boat, the wind abated.
Mat 14:33 And, they in the boat, bowed down to him, saying––Truly, God’s Son, thou art!
Mat 14:34 ¶ And, going across, they came up the land, into Gennesaret.
Mat 14:35 And, recognizing him, the men of that place, sent out into all that region, and they brought unto him all who were sick;
Mat 14:36 and were beseeching [him], that they might, only, touch the border of his mantle, and, as many as touched, were made quite well.
Mat 15:1 ¶ Then, there come unto Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying––
Mat 15:2 Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread!
Mat 15:3 But, he, answering, said unto them––Wherefore do, ye also, transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
Mat 15:4 For, God, said––Honour thy father and thy mother, and––He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die!
Mat 15:5 But, ye, say––Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother––A gift! Whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
Mat 15:6 in nowise, shall honour his father or his mother––and so ye have cancelled, the word of God, for the sake of your, tradition.
Mat 15:7 Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying––
Mat 15:8 This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;
Mat 15:9 But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching, for teachings, the commandments of men.
Mat 15:10 ¶ And, calling near the multitude, he said to them––Hear and understand!
Mat 15:11 Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,
Mat 15:12 Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him––Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble?
Mat 15:13 And, he, answering, said––Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted:
Mat 15:14 Let them alone! they are, blind leaders; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.
Mat 15:15 And Peter, answering, said unto him, Declare to us the parable.
Mat 15:16 And, he, said, To this moment, are, ye also, without discernment?
Mat 15:17 Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;
Mat 15:18 while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.
Mat 15:19 For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs,––murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:
Mat 15:20 these, are the things which defile the man, but, the eating with unwashed hands, doth not defile the man.
Mat 15:21 ¶ And, going forth from thence, Jesus retired into the parts of Tyre and Zidon.
Mat 15:22 And lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably demonized.
Mat 15:23 But, he, answered her no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying––Dismiss her, because she is crying out after us.
Mat 15:24 But, he, answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 15:25 And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me.
Mat 15:26 But, he, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, to the little dogs.
Mat 15:27 And, she, said, True, Lord! [for], even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling from the table of, their masters.
Mat 15:28 Then, answering, Jesus said to her––O woman! great, is, thy faith! Be it, done, for thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed, from that hour.
Mat 15:29 ¶ And, passing on from thence, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee, and, going up into the mountain, was sitting there.
Mat 15:30 And there came unto him large multitudes, having with themselves the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others,––and they cast them near his feet, and he cured them;
Mat 15:31 so that the multitude marveled, seeing the dumb speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing,––and they glorified the God of Israel.
Mat 15:32 But, Jesus, calling near his disciples, said––My compassions are moved towards the multitude, because [even now], three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat,––and, to dismiss them fasting, I am not willing, lest by any means they faint in the way.
Mat 15:33 And his disciples say unto him––Whence, to us, in a wilderness, loaves in such numbers as to fill a multitude, so great?
Mat 15:34 And Jesus saith unto them––How many, loaves have ye? And, they, said,––Seven, and a few small fishes.
Mat 15:35 And, sending word to the multitude to recline upon the ground,
Mat 15:36 he took the seven loaves, and the fishes, and, giving thanks, brake,––and began giving to his disciples, and, the disciples, to the multitudes.
Mat 15:37 And they all did eat and were filled,––and, the remainder of the broken pieces, took they up, seven hampers, full.
Mat 15:38 And, they who did eat, were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Mat 15:39 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the boat,––and came into the bounds of Magadan.
Mat 16:1 ¶ And, the Pharisees and Sadducees coming near, putting him to the test, requested him, a sign out of the heaven, to shew unto them.
Mat 16:2 But, he, answering said unto them––[When evening cometh ye say, Fair! for fiery is the heaven;
Mat 16:3 And at morn, Today, a storm! for fiery, and yet sad, is the heaven. The face of the heaven indeed, ye learn to distinguish,––but, the signs of the times, ye cannot.]
Mat 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek after, and, a sign, will not be given it,––save the sign of Jonah. And, leaving them behind, he departed.
Mat 16:5 ¶ And the disciples coming, to the other side, had forgotten to take loaves.
Mat 16:6 And, Jesus, said unto them––Mind! and beware, of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Mat 16:7 And, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying––Because, loaves, we took not.
Mat 16:8 And, observing it, Jesus said––Why are ye deliberating among yourselves, ye little–of–faith! because, loaves, ye have not?
Mat 16:9 Not yet, perceive ye, neither remember,––The five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye received?
Mat 16:10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many hampers ye received?
Mat 16:11 How is it ye perceive not, that, not concerning loaves, spake I unto you,––but beware of the leaven, of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
Mat 16:12 Then, understood they that he did not bid them beware of [the] leaven [of loaves] but of, the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Mat 16:13 ¶ And, Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea of Philip, began questioning his disciples, saying––Who are men saying that, the Son of Man, is?
Mat 16:14 And, they, said––Some, indeed, John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah,––but, others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Mat 16:15 He saith unto them––But who say, ye, that I am?
Mat 16:16 And, Simon Peter, answering, said––Thou, art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus, answering, said to him––Happy, art thou, Simon Bar–yona,––because, flesh and blood, revealed it not unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
Mat 16:18 And, I also, unto thee, say––Thou, art Peter,––and, upon this rock, will I build my assembly, and, the gates of hades, shall not prevail against it.
Mat 16:19 I will give thee, the keys of the kingdom of the heavens,––and, whatsoever thou shalt bind upon the earth, shall be bound in the heavens, and, whatsoever thou shalt loose upon the earth, shall be loosed in the heavens.
Mat 16:20 Then, straitly charged he the disciples, lest, to any man, they should say––He, is, the Christ.
Mat 16:21 ¶ From that time, began Jesus Christ to be pointing out to his disciples that he must needs, into Jerusalem, go away, and, many things, suffer, from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain,––and on, the third day, arise.
Mat 16:22 And, taking him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying––Mercy on thee Lord! In nowise, shall, this, befall thee.
Mat 16:23 But, he, turning, said to Peter––Withdraw behind me, Satan! A snare, art thou of mine, because thou art not regarding the things of God, but the things of men.
Mat 16:24 ¶ Then, Jesus said unto his disciples––If any one intendeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me;
Mat 16:25 For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it,––but, whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, shall find it.
Mat 16:26 For what shall a man be profited, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life?
Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man is destined to be coming, in the glory of his Father, with his messengers,––and, then, will he give back unto each one, according to his practice.
Mat 16:28 Verily, I say unto you––There are some of those, here standing, who, indeed, shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the Son of Man, coming in his kingdom.
Mat 17:1 ¶ And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him, Peter and James and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart;
Mat 17:2 and was transformed before them,––and his face shone as the sun, and, his garments, became white as the light.
Mat 17:3 And lo! there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, conversing with him.
Mat 17:4 And Peter, answering, said unto Jesus––Lord! it is, delightful, for us, to be here,––If thou wilt, I will make here three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one.
Mat 17:5 While yet he was speaking, lo! a brightly shining cloud, overshadowed them, and lo! a voice, out of the cloud, saying––This, is, my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight,––Be hearkening to him.
Mat 17:6 And, hearing it, the disciples fell upon their face, and were caused to fear exceedingly.
Mat 17:7 And Jesus came near, and, touching them, said––Arise! and be not afraid.
Mat 17:8 And, lifting up their eyes, no one, saw they, save Jesus, himself, alone.
Mat 17:9 And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying––Unto no one, may ye tell the vision, until the Son of Man, from among the dead shall arise.
Mat 17:10 And the disciples questioned him, saying––Why then do, the Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
Mat 17:11 And, he, answering, said––Elijah, indeed, cometh, and will restored all things;
Mat 17:12 But, I say unto you––that, Elijah, just now, came,––and they recognised him not, but did with him, whatsoever they pleased: Thus, the Son of Man also, is destined to suffer by them.
Mat 17:13 Then, perceived the disciples, that, concerning John the Immerser, he spake to them.
Mat 17:14 ¶ And, when they came unto the multitude, there approached him a man, falling on his knees to him,
Mat 17:15 and saying––Lord! have mercy upon my son,––because he is lunatic, and in a grievous condition; For, many times, falleth he into the fire, and, many times, into the water.
Mat 17:16 And I brought him unto thy disciples, and they could not cure, him.
Mat 17:17 And Jesus, answering, said––O faithless and perverted generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me, here.
Mat 17:18 And Jesus rebuked it; and the demon came out of him,––and cured was the boy, from that hour.
Mat 17:19 Then, the disciples, coming near, to Jesus, privately, said––Wherefore could, we, not cast it out?
Mat 17:20 And, he, saith unto them––Because of your little faith. For, verily, I say unto you––If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, remove hence yonder; and it shall be removed, and, nothing, shall be impossible to you.
Mat 17:21 <>
Mat 17:22 ¶ And, as they were being gathered together in Galilee, Jesus said unto them––The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men;
Mat 17:23 And they will slay him, and, on the third day, will he, arise. And they were grieved exceedingly.
Mat 17:24 ¶ And, when they came into Capernaum, they who, the half shekel, were receiving, came near unto Peter, and said, Your teacher, doth he not pay the half shekel?
Mat 17:25 He saith––Yea. And, coming into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, How, to thee, doth it seem, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom receive they dues or tax? from their sons, or from the aliens?
Mat 17:26 And, when he said, From the aliens, Jesus said unto him, Well then, free, are the sons!
Mat 17:27 But, that we may not cause them to stumble, go unto the sea, and cast in a hook, and, the first fish that cometh up, take, and, opening its mouth, thou shalt find a shekel,––that, take, and give to them for me and thee.
Mat 18:1 ¶ In that hour came, the disciples unto Jesus, saying––Who then is, greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens?
Mat 18:2 And, calling near a child, he set it in the midst of them,
Mat 18:3 and said––Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;
Mat 18:5 And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome.
Mat 18:6 And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill–stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.
Mat 18:7 ¶ Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come,––nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh!
Mat 18:8 But, if, thy hand or thy foot, be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly for thee, to enter into life, maimed or lame, rather than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age–abiding fire.
Mat 18:9 And, if, thine eye, causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly, for thee, one–eyed, into life, to enter, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery gehenna.
Mat 18:10 Beware! do not despise one of these little ones; For I say unto you––that, their messengers in the heavens, do, continually, behold the face of my Father in the heavens.
Mat 18:11 <>
Mat 18:12 How, to you, doth it seem? If a certain man come to have a hundred sheep and one from among them go astray, Will he not leave the ninety–nine upon the mountains, and going, seek the straying one?
Mat 18:13 And, if it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you––He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety–nine that have not gone astray.
Mat 18:14 Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.
Mat 18:15 ¶ But, if thy brother sin, withdraw, convince him, betwixt thee and him, alone,––If unto thee he hearken, thou hast gained thy brother;
Mat 18:16 But, if he do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established;
Mat 18:17 But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly,––And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax–collector.
Mat 18:18 Verily, I say unto you––Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
Mat 18:19 Again, [verily] I say unto you––If two from among you shall agree upon the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be brought to pass for them, from my Father who is in the heavens;
Mat 18:20 For, where there are two or three, gathered together into my name, there, am I, in their midst.
Mat 18:21 ¶ Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]––Lord! how many times, shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until, seven, times?
Mat 18:22 Jesus saith to him––I say not unto thee, unto, seven, times, but, until seventy times seven.
Mat 18:23 For this cause, hath the kingdom of the heavens become like unto a man, a king, who wished to settle an account with his servants;
Mat 18:24 And, when he, began, to settle, there was brought unto him a, certain, debtor, of a thousand talents;
Mat 18:25 and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever he had,––and payment to be made.
Mat 18:26 The servant therefore, falling down, began to do homage unto him, saying––Have patience with me, and, all, will I pay thee.
Mat 18:27 And, moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and, the loan, he, forgave, him.
Mat 18:28 But that servant, going out, found one of his fellow–servants, who owed him, a hundred denaries, and, laying hold of him, he began seizing him by the throat, saying, Pay! if anything thou owest.
Mat 18:29 His fellow servant, therefore, falling down, began beseeching him, saying, Have patience with me! And I will pay thee.
Mat 18:30 He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison,––until he should pay what was owing.
Mat 18:31 His fellow–servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly,––and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.
Mat 18:32 Then, calling him near, his master saith unto him––O wicked servant! All that debt, forgave I thee, because thou didst beseech me.
Mat 18:33 Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow–servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy?
Mat 18:34 And, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing.
Mat 18:35 Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.
Mat 19:1 ¶ And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, he removed from Galilee and came into the bounds of Judaea beyond the Jordan.
Mat 19:2 And there followed him large multitudes, and he cured them there.
Mat 19:3 ¶ And there came unto him Pharisees, testing him, and saying,––Whether is it allowed a man to divorce his wife, for every cause?
Mat 19:4 And, he, answering, said––Did ye never read––He who created at the beginning, Male and female, made them,––
Mat 19:5 and said––For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and be united to his wife,––and, the two, will become, one flesh;
Mat 19:6 So that, the longer, are they, two, but, one flesh, What, therefore, God, hath yoked together, Let not, a man, put asunder.
Mat 19:7 They say unto him––Why then did, Moses, command, to give a writing of repudiation and to divorce?
Mat 19:8 He saith unto them––Moses, in view of your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives; From the beginning however, hath it not been done, thus.
Mat 19:9 And I say unto you––Whosoever shall divorce his wife, saving for unfaithfulness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery.
Mat 19:10 The disciples say unto him––If, so, is the cause of the husband with the wife, it is not expedient to marry.
Mat 19:11 But, he, said unto them––Not all, find room for he word, save they to whom it hath been given;
Mat 19:12 For there, are, eunuchs, who, from their mother’s womb, were born so, and there, are, eunuchs, who were made eunuchs, by men,––and there, are, eunuchs, who have made, themselves, eunuchs, for the sake the kingdom of the heavens: He that is able to find room, let him find room.
Mat 19:13 ¶ Then, were brought unto him children,––that he might lay his hands upon them, and pray. And, the disciples, rebuked them.
Mat 19:14 But, Jesus, said––Suffer the children––and do not hinder them––to come unto me,––for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens.
Mat 19:15 And, laying his hands upon them, he went his way from thence.
Mat 19:16 ¶ And lo! one coming near unto him, said, Teacher! what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age–abiding?
Mat 19:17 And, he, said unto him––Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments.
Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said––These: Thou shalt not commit 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 unto him––These all, have I kept,––What, further, do I lack?
Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him––If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute,––and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me.
Mat 19:22 And the young man, hearing, this word, went away sorrowing,––for he was holding large possessions.
Mat 19:23 ¶ And, Jesus, said unto his disciples––Verily, I say unto you, A rich man, with difficulty, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Mat 19:24 Again I say unto you––Easier, is it for, a camel, through the eye of a needle, to enter, than a rich man––into the kingdom of God.
Mat 19:25 And, hearing it, the disciples were being struck with the greatest astonishment, saying––Who then can be saved?
Mat 19:26 And, looking intently, Jesus said unto them––With men, this is, impossible, but, with God, all things are possible.
Mat 19:27 Then, making answer, Peter said unto him––Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee,––What then shall there be, for us?
Mat 19:28 And, Jesus, said unto them––Verily, I say unto you, As for you who followed me in the regeneration, When the Son of Man shall take his seat on his throne of glory, ye also, shall be seated upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Mat 19:29 And, whosoever left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for sake of my name, manifold, shall receive, and life, age–abiding, shall inherit.
Mat 19:30 But many shall be––first–last, and last–first.
Mat 20:1 ¶ For the kingdom of the heavens, is like, a man, a householder,––who went forth with the morning, to hire labourers into his vineyard;
Mat 20:2 and, when he had agreed with the labourers for a denary the day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Mat 20:3 And, going forth about the third hour, he saw others, standing in the market–place, unemployed;
Mat 20:4 and, to them, he said––ye also, go your way into the vineyard, and, whatsoever may be right, I will give you;
Mat 20:5 and, they, departed. And, again, going forth about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
Mat 20:6 And, about the eleventh, going forth, he found others, standing, and saith unto them––Why, here, stand ye, all the day, unemployed?
Mat 20:7 They say unto him––Because, no one, hath hired, us. He saith unto them––Ye also, go your way into the vineyard.
Mat 20:8 And, when evening came, the master of the vineyard saith unto his steward––Call the labourers, and pay the hire,––beginning from the last, unto the first.
Mat 20:9 And they of the eleventh hour, coming, received severally a denary.
Mat 20:10 And, when the first came, they supposed that, more, they should receive,––and, they also, received severally a denary.
Mat 20:11 And, having received it, they began to murmur against the householder, saying––
Mat 20:12 These last, one hour, wrought, and thou hast made them, equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the scorching heat.
Mat 20:13 And, he, answering, unto one of them, said,––Friend! I wrong thee not: Was it not, for a denary, thou didst agree with me?
Mat 20:14 Take thine own, and go thy way; but I please, unto this last, to give, as also to thee:
Mat 20:15 Is it not allowed me to do, what I please, with my own? or is, thine eye, evil, because I good?
Mat 20:16 Thus, shall be––The last first, and the first last.
Mat 20:17 ¶ And, Jesus, being about to go up unto Jerusalem, took unto him the twelve [disciples], apart, and, in the way, he said unto them––
Mat 20:18 Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up unto the chief–priests and Scribes, and they will condemn him, [to death],
Mat 20:19 And deliver him up unto the nations, to mock and to scourge and to crucify,––and, on the third day, he will, arise.
Mat 20:20 ¶ Then came unto him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something from him.
Mat 20:21 And, he, said to her––What desirest thou? She saith unto him––Bid, that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom.
Mat 20:22 But Jesus, answering, said––Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup, which, I, am about to drink; They say unto him––We are able.
Mat 20:23 He saith unto them––My cup, indeed, ye shall drink; but, to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give,––except unto those for whom it hath been prepared by my Father.
Mat 20:24 And the ten, hearing, were sorely displeased, concerning the two brethren.
Mat 20:25 But, Jesus, calling them near, said––Ye know that, the rulers of the nations, lord it over them, and, the great ones, wield authority over them:
Mat 20:26 Not so, is it, among you,––but, whosoever shall desire, among you, to become, great, shall be, your minister;
Mat 20:27 And, whosoever shall desire, among you, to be first, shall be, your servant:––
Mat 20:28 Just as, the Son of Man, came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom instead of many.
Mat 20:29 ¶ And, as they were going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude;
Mat 20:30 and lo! two blind men, sitting beside the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried aloud saying––Lord! have mercy on us! Son of David!
Mat 20:31 But the multitude rebuked them, that they might hold their peace. But, they, the more, cried aloud, saying––Lord, have mercy on us! Son of David!
Mat 20:32 And, standing still, Jesus called them, and said––What desire ye I should do for you?
Mat 20:33 They say unto him––Lord! that, our eyes, may open.
Mat 20:34 And, moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes,––and, straightway, they recovered sight, and followed him.
Mat 21:1 ¶ And, when they drew near unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the Mount of Olives, then, Jesus sent forth two disciples;
Mat 21:2 saying unto them––Be going into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, ye shall find an ass, bound, and a colt with her,––loose them, and lead them unto me.
Mat 21:3 And, if anyone, unto you, say aught, ye shall say––Their Lord, hath, need,––and, straightway, he will send them.
Mat 21:4 But, this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying:
Mat 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy King, is coming unto thee, meek and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of a toiling ass.
Mat 21:6 And the disciples, went, and did as Jesus directed them;
Mat 21:7 and led the ass and the colt, and laid upon them their garments, and he took his seat upon them.
Mat 21:8 And, the chief multitude, spread their own mantles in the way, and, others, were cutting off young branches from the trees, and spreading them in the way;
Mat 21:9 and the multitudes, they who were going before him and they who were following after, were crying aloud, saying––Hosanna! to the Son of David, Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.
Mat 21:10 And, when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was startled, saying––Who is this?
Mat 21:11 And, the multitudes, were saying––This, is the prophet Jesus,––He from Nazareth of Galilee.
Mat 21:12 ¶ And Jesus entered into the temple, and cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple,––and, the tables of the money–changers, he overthrew, and the seats of them who were selling doves;
Mat 21:13 and saith unto them––It is written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called; but, ye, are making it, A den of robbers!
Mat 21:14 And there came unto him blind and lame, in the temple, and he cured them.
Mat 21:15 But the Chief–priests and the Scribes, seeing, the marvels that he wrought, and the boys who were crying aloud in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! were greatly displeased;
Mat 21:16 and said unto him––Hearest thou what these are saying? And, Jesus, saith unto them––Yea: Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, hast thou prepared praise?
Mat 21:17 And, leaving them behind, he went forth outside the city into Bethany, and spent the night there.
Mat 21:18 ¶ And, early, returning into the city, he hungered;
Mat 21:19 and, seeing one fig–tree by the way, he came up to it, and nothing, found he thereon, save leaves only,––and he saith unto it––No more, from thee, let fruit spring forth, unto times age–abiding,––and the fig–tree, instantly withered away.
Mat 21:20 And the disciples, seeing it, marveled, saying––How instantly, did the fig–tree wither away.
Mat 21:21 And Jesus, answering, said unto them––Verily, I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only, this of the fig–tree, shall ye do,––but, even if, unto this mountain, ye shall say, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it shall be done.
Mat 21:22 And, all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Mat 21:23 ¶ And, when he, entered, the temple, the Chief–priests and the Elders of the people, came unto him as he was teaching, saying, By what authority, these things, art thou doing? and, who, to thee, gave, this authority?
Mat 21:24 And, making answer, Jesus said unto them––I also, will ask, you, one thing,––which if ye tell me, I also, will tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing:––
Mat 21:25 The immersion by John, whence was it? Of heaven, or of men? But, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying––If we say, Of heaven; He will say unto us, Wherefore then did ye not believe him?
Mat 21:26 But, if we say, Of men, we fear the multitude, for, all, as a prophet, are holding John.
Mat 21:27 And, making answer to Jesus, they said––We know not. He also, said unto them––Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
Mat 21:28 ¶ But how, to you, doth it seem? A man, had two sons: coming unto the first, he said, Son! go thy way, today, be working in the vineyard.
Mat 21:29 And, he, answering, said, I, sir! and went not;
Mat 21:30 And, coming unto the second, he spake, in like manner,––and, he, answering, said, I will not: afterwards, smitten with regret, he went.
Mat 21:31 Which of the two, did the will of the father? They say, The latter. Jesus saith unto them––Verily, I say unto you, the tax–collectors and the harlots, are going before you, into the kingdom of God;
Mat 21:32 For John came unto you, in a way of righteousness, and ye believed him not,––but, the tax–collectors and the harlots, believed him; and, ye, seeing it, were not even smitten with regret, afterwards, so as to believe him.
Mat 21:33 ¶ Another parable, hear ye:––A man there was, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and, a wall around it, placed, and digged in it a wine–vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen,––and left home.
Mat 21:34 And, when the season of fruits drew near, He sent forth his servants unto the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
Mat 21:35 And the husbandmen, taking his servants, one, indeed, they beat, and, another, slew,––and, another, stoned.
Mat 21:36 Again, sent he forth other servants, more than the first, and they did unto them, likewise.
Mat 21:37 Afterwards, however, he sent forth unto them his son, saying,––They will pay deference unto my son!
Mat 21:38 But, the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves,––This, is, the heir: Come on! Let us slay him, and have his inheritance.
Mat 21:39 And, taking him, they cast him forth outside the vineyard,––and slew him.
Mat 21:40 When therefore the master of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Mat 21:41 They say unto him––Miserable men! Miserably, will he destroy them; and will let out, the vineyard, to other husbandmen, who will render unto him the fruits in their seasons.
Mat 21:42 Jesus saith unto them––Have ye, never, read in the Scriptures, A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become, head of the corner: From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvelous in our eyes.
Mat 21:43 Wherefore I say unto you, The kingdom of God, will be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof:
Mat 21:44 [And, he that falleth on this stone, will be sorely bruised; but, on whomsoever it may fall, it will utterly destroy him.]
Mat 21:45 And the Chief–priests and the Pharisees, hearing his parables, took note, that, concerning them, he was speaking.
Mat 21:46 And, seeking to secure him, they feared the multitudes; since, for a prophet, were they holding him.
Mat 22:1 ¶ And, answering, Jesus, again, spake in parables unto them, saying:––
Mat 22:2 The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man, a king,––who made a marriage–feast for his son;
Mat 22:3 And sent his servants, to call the invited into the marriage–feast,––and they would not come.
Mat 22:4 Again, sent he other servants, saying––Say to the invited, Lo! my dinner, have I prepared, mine oxen and my fatlings, are slain,––and, all things, are, ready: Come ye into the marriage–feast.
Mat 22:5 And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto his merchandise,––
Mat 22:6 And, the rest, securing his servants, ill–treated and slew them.
Mat 22:7 And, the king, was provoked to anger,––and, sending his armies, destroyed those murderers, and, their city, set on fire.
Mat 22:8 Then, saith he unto his servants––The marriage, indeed, is ready,––but, the invited, were not, worthy;
Mat 22:9 Be going, therefore, into the crossways of the roads, and, as many as ye shall find, call ye into the marriage–feast.
Mat 22:10 And those servants, going forth, into the roads, gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good,––and filled was the bride–chamber with guests.
Mat 22:11 But the king, entering to view the guests, saw there a man, who had not put on a wedding–garment,––
Mat 22:12 And saith unto him––Friend! how camest thou in here, not having a wedding–garment? And, he, was put to silence.
Mat 22:13 Then, the king said unto the ministers, Binding him feet and hands, cast him forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wafting and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 For, many, are called, but, few, chosen.
Mat 22:15 ¶ Then, went the Pharisees and took, counsel, that they might ensnare him, in discourse.
Mat 22:16 And they sent forth to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and, the way of God, in truth, dost teach, and it concerneth thee not about anyone,––for thou lookest not unto the face of men:
Mat 22:17 Tell us then, how, to thee, it seemeth? Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not?
Mat 22:18 But Jesus, taking note of their wickedness, said––Why are ye tempting me, hypocrites?
Mat 22:19 Shew me the coin appointed for the tax. And, they, brought unto him a denary.
Mat 22:20 And he saith unto them––Whose, is this image and the inscription?
Mat 22:21 They say––Caesar’s. Then, saith he unto them––Render, therefore, the things of Caesar, unto Caesar,––and, the things of God, unto God.
Mat 22:22 And, hearing, they marveled,––and, leaving him, departed.
Mat 22:23 ¶ On that day, there came unto him Sadducees, who say, there is, no resurrection––and they questioned him,
Mat 22:24 saying––Teacher! Moses, said, If any man die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Mat 22:25 Now there were, with us, seven brethren; and, the first, marrying, died, and not having seed, left his wife unto his brother.
Mat 22:26 Likewise, the second also, and the third,––unto the seven.
Mat 22:27 And, last of all, died, the wife.
Mat 22:28 In the resurrection, therefore,––Of which of the seven, shall she be wife? For, all, had her.
Mat 22:29 And Jesus answering, said––Ye are deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor yet the power of God.
Mat 22:30 For, in the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but, as messengers in the heaven, are they.
Mat 22:31 But, as touching the resurrection of the dead––Have ye not read what was spoken unto you by God, saying––
Mat 22:32 I, am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?––He is not God, of the dead, but, of the living.
Mat 22:33 And, the multitudes, hearing, were being struck with astonishment at his teaching.
Mat 22:34 ¶ Now, the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were brought together with one accord;
Mat 22:35 and one from among them, a lawyer, proposed a question, putting him to the test:
Mat 22:36 Teacher! which commandment, is greatest in the law?
Mat 22:37 And, he, said unto 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 great and first commandment.
Mat 22:39 The second, like it, is, this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 22:40 In these two commandments, all the law, is contained, and the prophets.
Mat 22:41 ¶ Now, the Pharisees having come together, Jesus questioned them, saying––
Mat 22:42 How, to you, doth it seem, concerning the Christ? Whose son, is he? They say unto him––David’s.
Mat 22:43 He saith unto them––How then doth, David, in spirit, call him, Lord, saying––
Mat 22:44 The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord,––Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?
Mat 22:45 If then, David, calleth him, Lord, How, is he, his son?
Mat 22:46 And, no one, was able to answer him a word, neither durst anyone, from that day, question him, any more.
Mat 23:1 ¶ Then, Jesus spake unto the multitudes and unto his disciples,
Mat 23:2 saying––Upon Moses’ seat, have sat down, the Scribes and the Pharisees:
Mat 23:3 All things, therefore, whatsoever they tell you, do and observe,––but, according to their works, do ye not, for they, say, and do not, perform.
Mat 23:4 But they bind together heavy burdens, and lay upon men’s shoulders, whereas, they, with their finger, are not willing to move them.
Mat 23:5 But, all their works, they do, to be gazed at, by men,––for they make broad their amulets, and make large their fringes,
Mat 23:6 And dearly love the first couch in the chief meals, and the first seats in the synagogues,
Mat 23:7 And the salutations in the market–places, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
Mat 23:8 But, ye,––do not be called Rabbi,––for, one, is your Teacher, and, all ye, are brethren;
Mat 23:9 And, father, be none of you called, upon the earth, for, one, is your Father, the Heavenly;
Mat 23:10 Neither be called leaders, for, your leader, is one, the Christ;
Mat 23:11 And, the greatest of you, shall be to you, a minister;
Mat 23:12 And, whoever shall exalt himself, shall be, abased, and, whoever shall abase himself, shall be, exalted,
Mat 23:13 But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye are locking up the kingdom of the heavens before men,––for, ye, are not entering, neither, them who are entering, suffer ye to enter.
Mat 23:14 <>
Mat 23:15 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because ye compass sea and dry land, to make one convert––and, when it is done, ye make him a son of gehenna, twofold more than ye.
Mat 23:16 Alas for you, blind guides! that say––Whosoever shall swear by the Temple, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gold of the Temple, is bound:
Mat 23:17 Foolish and blind! for which is, greater, The gold, or the Temple that hath hallowed the gold?
Mat 23:18 And, whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is bound:
Mat 23:19 Blind! for which is greater, The gift, or the altar that halloweth the gift?
Mat 23:20 He therefore that hath sworn by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it;
Mat 23:21 And, he that hath sworn by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth therein;
Mat 23:22 And, he that hath sworn by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who sitteth thereupon.
Mat 23:23 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin,––and have dismissed the weightier matters of the law––the justice, the mercy, and the faith; whereas, these, it was binding, to do, and, those, not to, dismiss.
Mat 23:24 Blind guides! Straining out the gnat, but, the camel, swallowing.
Mat 23:25 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish,––while, within, they are full of plunder and intemperance.
Mat 23:26 Blind Pharisee! cleanse, first, the inside, of the cup [and of the dish], that, the outside thereof, may become, clean.
Mat 23:27 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye make yourselves like sepulchres whitewashed, which, outside, indeed, appear, beautiful, but, within, are full, of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness,––
Mat 23:28 Thus, ye also, outside, indeed, appear to men, righteous, but, within, are full, of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Mat 23:29 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
Mat 23:
