{\MTB The Good News According to
\par }{\MT Luke

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}As
a
number
of attempts
have
been made
to put
together
in order
an
account
of
those events
which took
place
among
us,
\VS{2}As
they
were
handed
down
to us
by
those
who saw
them
from
the
first
and
were preachers
of
the
word,
\VS{3}It
seemed
good
to
me, having made observation,
with
great care,
of
the direction
of events
in
their
order,
to put
the facts
in
writing
for
you,
most noble
Theophilus;
\VS{4}So
that
you might
have
certain knowledge
of
those
things
about
which
you
were given
teaching.
\VS{5}In
the
days
of
Herod,
king
of Judaea,
there
was
a
certain
priest,
by
name
Zacharias,
of
the order
of
Abijah;
and
he
had
a
wife
of
the family
of
Aaron,
and
her
name
was Elisabeth.
\VS{6}They
were
upright
in
the eyes
of
God, keeping
all
the rules
and
orders
of
God,
and doing no wrong.
\VS{7}And
they
were
without
children,
because Elisabeth
had
never given birth,
and
they
were
at
that
time
very
old.
\VS{8}Now
it
came
about
that
in
his turn
he
was acting
as priest
before
God,
\VS{9}And
as
was
the
way
of
the priests,
he
had
to
go
into
the
Temple
to see
to
the burning
of perfumes.
\VS{10}And
all
the
people
were offering
prayers
outside,
at
the
time
of
the burning
of perfumes.
\VS{11}And
he
saw
an
angel
of
the
Lord
in
his place
on
the
right side
of
the
altar.
\VS{12}And
Zacharias
was
troubled
when
he
saw
him,
and
fear
came
on
him.
\VS{13}But
the
angel
said,
Have
no
fear,
Zacharias,
for
your
prayer
has come
to
the ears
of
God,
and
your
wife Elisabeth
will
have
a
son,
and
his
name
will
be
John.
\VS{14}And
you
will
be
glad
and
have
great delight;
and
numbers
of
people
will
have
joy
at
his
birth.
\VS{15}For
he
will
be
great
in
the eyes
of
the
Lord;
he
will
not take
wine
or
strong
drink;
and
he
will
be full
of
the
Spirit
of
God
from
his
birth.
\VS{16}And through
him
great
numbers
of
the children
of
Israel
will
be
turned
to
the
Lord
their
God.
\VS{17}And
he
will
go
before
his face
in
the
spirit
and
power
of
Elijah,
turning
the
hearts
of
fathers
to
their
children,
and wrongdoers
to
the
way
of
righteousness;
to
make
ready
a
people
whose
hearts
have
been
turned
to
the
Lord.
\VS{18}And
Zacharias
said
to
the
angel,
How
may
I
be
certain
of
this?
For
I
am
an
old
man,
and
my
wife
is
far
on
in
years.
\VS{19}And
the
angel,
answering,
said,
I
am
Gabriel,
whose
place
is
before
God;
I
have
been
sent
to
say
these
words
to
you
and
to
give
you
this
good
news.
\VS{20}Now,
see,
you
will
be
without voice
or language till
the
day
when
these
things
come
about,
because
you
had
not
faith
in
my
words,
which
will
have effect
at
the
right
time.
\VS{21}And
the
people
were
waiting
for
Zacharias
and
were
surprised
because
he
was
in
the
Temple
for such
a
long
time.
\VS{22}And
when
he
came
out
he
was
not
able
to
say
anything,
and
they
saw
that
he
had
seen
a
vision
in
the
Temple;
and
he
was
making
signs
to
them
without
words.
\VS{23}And
when
the
days
of
his work
in
the
Temple
were ended,
he
went
back
to
his
house.
\VS{24}After
that
time, Elisabeth,
being certain
that
she
was
to become
a mother,
kept
herself
from men's eyes
for
five
months,
saying,
\VS{25}The
Lord
has
done
this
to
me,
for
his eyes
were
on
me,
to
take
away
my shame
in
the eyes
of
men.
\VS{26}Now
in
the
sixth
month
the
angel
Gabriel
was
sent
from
God
to
a
town
in
Galilee,
named
Nazareth,
\VS{27}To
a
virgin
who
was
to
be married
to
a
man
named
Joseph,
of
the
family
of
David;
and
the
name
of
the
virgin
was
Mary.
\VS{28}And
the
angel
came
in
to
her
and
said, Peace
be
with
you,
to
whom special grace
has
been given;
the
Lord
is
with
you.
\VS{29}But
she
was greatly troubled
at
his
words,
and
said
to herself,
What
may
be
the purpose
of
these
words?
\VS{30}And
the
angel
said
to
her,
Have
no
fear,
Mary,
for
you
have God's approval.
\VS{31}And
see,
you
will
give
birth
to
a
son,
and
his
name
will
be
Jesus.
\VS{32}He
will
be
great,
and
will
be
named
the
Son
of
the
Most
High:
and
the
Lord
God
will
give
him
the kingdom
of
David,
his
father:
\VS{33}He
will
have rule
over
the
house
of
Jacob
for
ever,
and
of
his
kingdom
there
will
be
no
end.
\VS{34}And
Mary
said
to
the
angel,
How
may
this
be,
because
I
have
had
no knowledge
of
a
man?
\VS{35}And
the
angel
in
answer
said
to
her,
The
Holy
Spirit
will
come
on
you,
and
the
power
of
the
Most
High
will
come
to rest
on
you,
and
so
that
which
will
come
to
birth
will
be
named
holy,
Son
of
God.
\VS{36}Even
now Elisabeth,
who
is
of
your family,
is
to
be
a mother,
though
she
is
old:
and
this
is
the
sixth
month
with
her
who
was
without children.
\VS{37}For there
is
nothing
which
God
is
not able
to
do.
\VS{38}And
Mary
said:
I
am
the
servant
of
the
Lord;
may
it
be
to
me
as
you
say.
And
the
angel
went
away.
\VS{39}Then
Mary
got
up
and
went
quickly
into
the high lands,
to
a
town
of
Judah;
\VS{40}And
went
into
the
house
of
Zacharias
and took Elisabeth
in her arms.
\VS{41}And
when
the voice
of
Mary
came
to
the
ears
of Elisabeth,
the
baby
made
a sudden move
inside
her;
then Elisabeth
was full
of
the
Holy
Spirit,
\VS{42}And
she
said
with
a
loud
voice:
May
blessing
be
on
you
among
women,
and
a
blessing
on
the child
of
your body.
\VS{43}How
is
it
that
the
mother
of
my
Lord
comes
to
me?
\VS{44}For,
truly,
when
the
sound
of
your
voice
came
to
my
ears,
the
baby
in
my
body
made
a sudden move
for
joy.
\VS{45}Happy
will
she
be
who
had
faith
that
the
things
which
the
Lord
has
said
to
her
will
be done.
\VS{46}And
Mary
said:
My
soul
gives glory
to
God;
\VS{47}My
spirit
is
glad
in
God
my Saviour.
\VS{48}For
he
has
had pity
on
his
servant,
though
she
is poor
and lowly placed:
and
from
this hour
will
all
generations give witness
to
the blessing
which
has come
to
me.
\VS{49}For
he
who
is
strong
has
done
great
things
for
me;
and
holy
is
his
name.
\VS{50}His
mercy
is
for
all
generations
in
whom
is
the
fear
of
him.
\VS{51}With
his
arm
he
has
done
acts
of
power;
he
has
put
to flight
those
who
have pride
in
their
hearts.
\VS{52}He
has put
down kings
from
their seats, lifting up
on high
the men
of low degree.
\VS{53}Those
who
had no food
he made full
of
good
things;
the men
of wealth
he
sent
away
with nothing
in
their hands;
\VS{54}His
help
he
has
given
to
Israel,
his
servant, so
that
he might keep
in mind
his
mercy
to
Abraham
and
his seed
for ever,
\VS{55}As
he gave
his word
to
our
fathers.
\VS{56}And
Mary
was
with
her
for
about
three
months
and
then
went
back
to
her
house.
\VS{57}Now
it
was
time
for Elisabeth
to
give
birth,
and
she
had
a
son.
\VS{58}And
it
came
to
the
ears
of
her neighbours
and
relations
that
the
Lord
had
been
very good
to
her,
and
they took
part
in
her
joy.
\VS{59}And
on
the
eighth
day
they
came
to see
to
the
circumcision
of
the
child,
and
they
would
have
given
him
the
name
of
Zacharias,
his father's
name;
\VS{60}But
his
mother
made
answer
and
said,
No,
his
name
is
John.
\VS{61}And
they
said,
Not
one
of
your
relations
has
that
name.
\VS{62}And
they
made
signs
to
his
father,
to say
what
name
was
to be
given
to
him.
\VS{63}And
he
sent
for
writing materials
and put
down:
His
name
is
John;
and
they
were
all
surprised.
\VS{64}And straight away
his
mouth
was
open
and
his
tongue
was free
and
he gave
praise
to
God.
\VS{65}And
fear
came
on
all
those
who
were
living round
about
them:
and
there
was much talk
about
all
these
things
in
all
the hill-country
of Judaea.
\VS{66}And
all
who
had word
of
them
kept
them
in
their
minds
and
said,
What
will
this
child
be?
For
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
with
him.
\VS{67}And
his
father,
Zacharias,
was full
of
the
Holy
Spirit,
and
with
the voice
of
a prophet
said
these
words:
\VS{68}Praise
be
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
for
he
has come
to
his
people
and
made
them free,
\VS{69}Lifting
up
a
horn
of
salvation
for
us
in
the
house
of
his
servant
David,
\VS{70}(As
he
said,
by
the
mouth
of
his
holy
prophets,
from
the earliest times,)
\VS{71}Salvation
from
those
who
are
against
us,
and
from
the
hands
of
those
who
have
hate
for
us;
\VS{72}To
do
acts
of
mercy
to
our
fathers
and
to
keep
in
mind
his
holy word,
\VS{73}The
oath
which
he made
to
Abraham,
our
father,
\VS{74}That we, being made
free
from
the
fear
of
those
who
are
against
us, might give
him
worship,
\VS{75}In
righteousness
and holy living
before
him
all
our
days.
\VS{76}And
you,
child,
will
be
named
the
prophet
of
the
Most
High:
you
will
go
before
the
face
of
the
Lord,
to
make
ready
his
ways;
\VS{77}To
give
knowledge
of
salvation
to
his
people,
through
the
forgiveness
of
sins,
\VS{78}Because
of
the loving mercies
of
our
God,
by
which
the dawn
from heaven
has
come
to
us,
\VS{79}To give light
to
those
in dark places,
and
in
the
shade
of
death,
so
that
our
feet
may
be guided
into
the
way
of
peace.
\VS{80}And
the
child became tall,
and
strong
in
spirit;
and
he
was living
in
the waste land till
the
day
when
he
came
before
the eyes
of
Israel.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
it
came
about
in
those
days
that
an order
went
out
from
Caesar
Augustus
that
there
was
to
be
a numbering
of
all
the
world.
\VS{2}This
was
the
first numbering,
which
was
made
when
Quirinius
was ruler
of
Syria.
\VS{3}And
all
men
went
to
be numbered,
everyone
to
his
town.
\VS{4}And
Joseph
went
up
from
Galilee,
out
of
the
town
of
Nazareth,
into Judaea,
to Beth-lehem,
the
town
of
David,
because
he
was
of
the
house
and
family
of
David,
\VS{5}To
be put
on
the list
with
Mary,
his future wife,
who
was
about
to become
a mother.
\VS{6}And
while
they
were
there,
the
time
came
for
her
to
give
birth.
\VS{7}And
she
had
her first
son;
and folding
him
in linen,
she put
him
to
rest
in
the
place
where
the cattle
had
their food,
because
there
was
no
room
for
them
in
the house.
\VS{8}And
in
the
same
country
there
were keepers
of sheep
in
the
fields,
watching
over
their
flock
by
night.
\VS{9}And
an
angel
of
the
Lord
came
to
them,
and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
was
shining round
about
them:
and
fear
came
on
them.
\VS{10}And
the
angel
said,
Have
no
fear;
for truly,
I
give
you
good
news
of
great
joy
which
will
be
for
all
the
people:
\VS{11}For
on
this
day,
in
the
town
of
David,
a Saviour
has
come
to
birth,
who
is
Christ
the
Lord.
\VS{12}And
this
is
the
sign
to
you:
you
will see
a young child folded
in linen,
in
the
place
where
the cattle
have
their food.
\VS{13}And
suddenly
there
was
with
the
angel
a
great band
of spirits
from
heaven, giving
praise
to
God,
and
saying,
\VS{14}Glory
to
God
in
the
highest,
and
on
the
earth
peace
among
men
with whom
he
is
well
pleased.
\VS{15}And
when
the
angels
had
gone
away
from
them
into
heaven,
the keepers
of
the sheep
said
to
one
another,
Let
us
go
now
to Beth-lehem,
and
see
this
thing
which
has
come
about,
which
the
Lord
has
made clear
to
us.
\VS{16}And
they
came
quickly,
and saw
Mary
and
Joseph,
and
the child
in
the
place
where
the cattle
had
their food.
\VS{17}And
when
they
saw
it,
they gave
them
an account
of
the
things
which
had been
said
to
them
about
the
child.
\VS{18}And
all
those
to
whose
ears
it
came
were
full
of
wonder
at
the
things
said
by
the keepers
of
the sheep.
\VS{19}But
Mary
kept
all
these
words
in
her
heart,
and gave much thought
to
them.
\VS{20}Then
the keepers
of
the sheep
went
back, giving
glory
and
praise
to
God
for
all
the
things
which
had
come
to
their
ears
and
which
they
had
seen,
as
it
had
been
said
to
them.
\VS{21}And
when,
after
eight
days,
the
time
came
for
his
circumcision,
he
was
named
Jesus,
the
name
which
the
angel
had
given
to
him
before
his
birth.
\VS{22}And
when
the necessary
days
for making
them clean
by
the
law
of
Moses
had
come
to
an
end,
they
took
him
to
Jerusalem
to give
him
to
the
Lord
\VS{23}(As
it says
in
the
law
of
the
Lord,
Every mother's first
male child
is
to
be
holy
to
the
Lord),
\VS{24}And
to
make
an offering,
as
it
is
ordered
in
the
law
of
the
Lord,
of
two
doves
or
other
young birds.
\VS{25}And
there
was
then
in
Jerusalem
a
man
whose
name
was
Simeon;
and
he
was
an
upright
man, fearing
God
and
waiting
for
the
comfort
of
Israel:
and
the
Holy
Spirit
was
on
him.
\VS{26}And
he
had knowledge, through
the
Holy
Spirit,
that
he
would
not
see
death till
he
had
seen
the Lord's
Christ.
\VS{27}And full
of
the
Spirit
he
came
into
the
Temple;
and
when
the father
and mother
came
in
with
the
child
Jesus,
to
do
with
him
what
was ordered
by
the
law,
\VS{28}Then
he
took
him
in
his
arms
and gave
praise
to
God
and
said,
\VS{29}Now
you
are letting
your
servant
go
in
peace, O
Lord,
as
you
have said;
\VS{30}For
my
eyes
have
seen
your
salvation,
\VS{31}Which
you
have
made
ready
before
the
face
of
all nations;
\VS{32}A
light
of
revelation
to
the
Gentiles,
and
the
glory
of
your
people
Israel.
\VS{33}And
his
father
and
mother
were full
of
wonder
at
the
things
which
were
said
about
him.
\VS{34}And
Simeon gave
them
his
blessing
and
said
to
Mary,
his
mother,
See,
this child
will
be
the cause
of
the downfall
and
the lifting
up
of
great
numbers
of
people
in
Israel,
and
he
will
be
a
sign
against
which
hard
words
will
be
said;
\VS{35}(And
a
sword
will
go
through
your
heart;)
so
that
the secret
thoughts
of
men
may
come
to light.
\VS{36}And
there
was
one,
Anna,
a
woman prophet,
the
daughter
of
Phanuel,
of
the family
of
Asher (she
was
very
old,
and
after
seven
years
of married
life
\VS{37}She
had
been
a
widow
for eighty-four
years);
she
was
in
the
Temple
at
all times, worshipping
with
prayers
and going
without
food,
night
and
day.
\VS{38}And coming
up
at
that
time,
she gave praise
to
God,
talking
of
him
to
all
those
who
were
waiting
for
the freeing
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{39}And
when
they
had done
all
the
things
which
were ordered
by
the
law
of
the
Lord,
they went
back
to
Galilee,
to
Nazareth,
the
town
where
they
were living.
\VS{40}And
the
child became tall
and
strong
and
full
of
wisdom,
and
the
grace
of
God
was
on
him.
\VS{41}And
every
year
his father
and mother
went
to
Jerusalem
at
the
feast
of
the
Passover.
\VS{42}And
when
he
was
twelve
years old,
they
went
up,
as
their
way
was,
to
the
feast;
\VS{43}And
when
the
days
of
the feast came
to
an end
and
they
were going
back,
the
boy
Jesus
was still
in
Jerusalem,
but
they
had
no knowledge
of
it:
\VS{44}And
in
the belief
that
he
was
with
some
of
their
number,
they
went
a day's
journey;
and
after
looking
for
him
among
their
relations
and friends,
\VS{45}And seeing
that
he
was
not there,
they
went
back
to
Jerusalem,
to
make search
for
him.
\VS{46}And
after
three
days
they
came across
him
in
the
Temple, seated
among
the wise
men, giving ear
to
their
words
and putting
questions
to
them.
\VS{47}And
all
to
whose
ears
it
came
were
full
of wonder
at
his knowledge
and
the
answers
which
he gave.
\VS{48}And
when
they
saw
him
they
were surprised,
and
his
mother
said
to
him,
Son,
why
have
you
done
this
to
us?
see,
your
father
and
I
have
been
looking
for
you
with sorrow.
\VS{49}And
he
said
to
them,
Why
were
you
looking
for
me?
was
it
not clear
to
you
that
my right
place
was
in
my Father's house?
\VS{50}And
his
words seemed strange
to
them.
\VS{51}And
he
went
down
with
them
and
came
to
Nazareth;
and
did
as
he
was ordered:
and
his
mother
kept
all
these
words
in
her
heart.
\VS{52}And
Jesus
was
increasing
in
wisdom
and
in years,
and
in
grace
before
God
and
men.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
in
the
fifteenth
year
of
the rule
of
Tiberius
Caesar,
Pontius
Pilate being ruler
of Judaea,
and
Herod being king
of
Galilee,
his
brother
Philip king
of
the
country
of
Ituraea
and
Trachonitis,
and
Lysanias king
of
Abilene,
\VS{2}When
Annas
and
Caiaphas
were
high
priests,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
John,
the
son
of
Zacharias,
in
the waste land.
\VS{3}And
he
came
into
all
the
country round
about
Jordan,
preaching
baptism
as
a sign
of
forgiveness
of
sin
for
those whose hearts
were changed.
\VS{4}As
it
says
in
the
book
of
the
words
of
Isaiah
the
prophet,
The
voice
of
one
crying
in
the waste land,
Make
ready
the
way
of
the
Lord,
make
his
roads
straight.
\VS{5}Every
valley
will
be lifted
up,
and
all
the
mountains
and
hills
made
low,
and
the twisted
will
be
made
straight,
and
the
rough
ways
smooth;
\VS{6}And
all
flesh
will
see
the
salvation
of
God.
\VS{7}So
he
said
to
the
people
who
went
out
to
him
for baptism:
You
offspring
of snakes,
at
whose word
are
you
going
in flight
from
the
wrath
to
come?
\VS{8}Make clear
by
your
acts
that
your hearts
have
been changed;
and
do
not
say
to
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
for
our
father:
for
I
say
to
you
that
God
is
able
from
these
stones
to
make
children
of
Abraham.
\VS{9}And
even
now
the
axe
is
put
to
the
root
of
the
trees;
and
every
tree
which
does
not
have
good
fruit
will
be
cut
down
and
put
into
the
fire.
\VS{10}And
the
people
put
questions
to
him,
saying,
What
have
we
to
do?
\VS{11}And
he
made
answer
and
said
to
them,
He
who
has
two
coats,
let
him
give
to
him
who
has
not
even
one;
and
he
who
has
food,
let
him
do
the
same.
\VS{12}Then tax-farmers
came
to
him
for baptism
and
said
to
him, Master,
what
have
we
to
do?
\VS{13}And
he
said
to
them,
Do
not make
an attempt
to get
more
money
than
the right amount.
\VS{14}And
men
of
the army
put
questions
to
him,
saying,
And
what
have
we
to
do?
And
he
said
to
them,
Do
no violent
acts
to
any
man,
and
do
not
take
anything
without right,
and
let
your payment
be
enough
for
you.
\VS{15}And
while
the
people
were
waiting,
and
all
men
were questioning
in
their
hearts
about
John,
if
he
was
the
Christ
or
not,
\VS{16}John
made
answer,
saying
to
them
all,
Truly,
I
give
you baptism
with
water,
but
one
is
coming
who
is greater
than
I,
whose
shoes
I
am
not
good
enough
to undo:
he
will
give
you baptism
with
the
Holy
Spirit,
and
with
fire:
\VS{17}In
whose
hand
is
the instrument
with
which
he
will make clean
his
grain;
he
will put
the good
grain
in
his
store,
but
the waste
will
be
burned
in
the
fire
which
will never
be put out.
\VS{18}And
so comforting
them
with
these
and
other
words,
he gave
the
good
news
to
the
people;
\VS{19}But
Herod
the king,
because
John
had
made
a protest
on account
of
Herodias,
his brother's
wife,
and
other
evil
things
which
Herod
had
done,
\VS{20}Did
this most evil
thing
of
all,
and
had
John shut
up
in
prison.
\VS{21}Now
it
came
about
that
when
all
the
people
had
been given baptism,
Jesus, having
had baptism
with
them,
was
in
prayer,
when,
the
heaven
being
open,
\VS{22}The
Holy
Spirit
came
down
in
the
form
of
a
dove,
and
a
voice
came
from
heaven, saying,
You
are
my dearly loved
Son,
with
whom
I
am
well
pleased.
\VS{23}And

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jesus,
full
of
the
Holy
Spirit,
came
back
from
the
Jordan,
and
was guided
by
the
Spirit
in
the waste land
\VS{2}For
forty
days,
being
tested
by
the Evil
One.
And
he
had
no
food
in
those
days;
and
when
they came
to
an end,
he
was
in need
of
food.
\VS{3}And
the Evil
One
said
to
him,
If
you
are
the
Son
of
God,
give
orders
to
this
stone
to
become
bread.
\VS{4}And
Jesus
made
answer
to
him,
It
has
been
said
in
the Writings,
Bread
is
not man's
only need.
\VS{5}And
he took
him
up
and let
him see
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
in
a minute
of
time.
\VS{6}And
the Evil
One
said,
I
will
give
you
authority
over
all
these,
and
the
glory
of
them,
for
it
has
been
given
to
me,
and
I
give
it
to
anyone
at
my pleasure.
\VS{7}If
then
you
will give
worship
to
me,
it
will
all
be
yours.
\VS{8}And
Jesus
in
answer
said
to
him,
It
has
been
said
in
the Writings,
Give
worship
to
the
Lord
your
God,
and
be
his servant
only.
\VS{9}And
he
took
him
to
Jerusalem
and
put
him
on
the highest
point
of
the
Temple
and
said
to
him,
If
you
are
the
Son
of
God,
let
yourself
go
down
from
here;
for
it
is
said
in
the Writings,
\VS{10}He
will give
his
angels
orders
to take care
of
you:
\VS{11}And,
In
their
hands
they
will
keep
you
up,
so
that
your
foot
may
not
be crushed
against
a
stone.
\VS{12}And
Jesus
made
answer
and
said
to
him,
It
is
said
in
the Writings,
You
may
not
put
the
Lord
your
God
to
the
test.
\VS{13}And
when
all
these tests
were
ended
the Evil
One went
away
from
him
for
a
time.
\VS{14}And
Jesus
came
back
to
Galilee
in
the
power
of
the
Spirit,
and
the
news
of
him
went
through
all
the
country round
about.
\VS{15}And
he
was
teaching
in
their
Synagogues
and
all
men gave
him
praise.
\VS{16}And
he
came
to
Nazareth,
where
he
had
been
as
a child,
and
he
went,
as
his
way
was,
into
the
Synagogue
on
the
Sabbath,
and
got
up
to
give
a
reading.
\VS{17}And
the
book
of
the
prophet
Isaiah
was given
to
him
and, opening
the
book,
he
came
on
the
place
where
it
is
said,
\VS{18}The
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
on
me,
because
I
am marked
out
by
him
to give
good
news
to
the
poor;
he
has
sent
me
to make
well
those
who
are broken-hearted;
to
say
that
the prisoners
will
be let go,
and
the
blind
will see,
and
to make
the wounded free
from
their chains,
\VS{19}To give knowledge
that
the
year
of
the Lord's good pleasure
is come.
\VS{20}And shutting
the
book
he
gave
it
back
to
the servant
and
took
his
seat:
and
the
eyes
of
all
in
the
Synagogue
were
fixed
on
him.
\VS{21}Then
he
said
to
them,
Today
this word
has
come true
in
your
hearing.
\VS{22}And
they
were
all giving
witness,
with
wonder,
to
the
words
of
grace
which
came
from
his
mouth:
and
they
said,
Is
not
this
the
son
of
Joseph?
\VS{23}And
he
said
to
them,
Without
doubt
you
will
say
to
me,
Let
the medical
man
make
himself
well:
the
things
which
to
our knowledge
were
done
at
Capernaum,
do
them
here
in
your
country.
\VS{24}And
he
said
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
No
prophet
is honoured
in
his
country.
\VS{25}Truly
I
say
to
you,
There
were
a
number
of
widows
in
Israel
in
the
days
of
Elijah,
when
the
heaven
was
shut up
for
three
years
and
six
months
and
there
was no food
in
the
land;
\VS{26}But
Elijah
was
not
sent
to
one
of
them,
but
only
to
Zarephath,
in
the land
of
Sidon,
to
a
woman
who
was
a
widow.
\VS{27}And
there
were
a
number
of
lepers
in
Israel
in
the
time
of
Elisha
the
prophet,
and
not
one
of
them
was made
clean,
but
only
Naaman
the
Syrian.
\VS{28}And
all
who
were
in
the
Synagogue
were
very
angry
when
these
things
were
said
to
them.
\VS{29}And
they
got
up
and
took
him
out
of
the
town
to
the edge
of
the
mountain
on
which
their
town
was,
so
that
they
might
send
him
down
to
his death.
\VS{30}But
he
came
through
them
and
went
on
his
way.
\VS{31}And
he
came
down
to
Capernaum,
a
town
of
Galilee;
and
he
was giving
them
teaching
on
the
Sabbath.
\VS{32}And
they
were surprised
at
his
teaching,
for
his
word
was
with
authority.
\VS{33}And
there
was
a
man
in
the
Synagogue
who
had
an
unclean
spirit;
and
he gave
a
loud
cry
and
said,
\VS{34}Let
us
be!
what
have
we
to
do
with
you,
Jesus
of
Nazareth?
have
you
come
to
put
an
end
to
us?
I
have knowledge
who
you
are,
the
Holy
One
of
God.
\VS{35}And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Be
quiet,
and
come
out
of
him.
And
when
the evil spirit
had put
him
down
on
the earth
in
the
middle
of
them,
he
came
out
of
him,
having done
him
no damage.
\VS{36}And
wonder
came
on
them
all
and
they
said
to
one
another,
What
are
these
words?
for
with
authority
and
power
he
gives orders
to
the evil
spirits
and
they
come
out.
\VS{37}And
there
was much talk
about
him
in
all
the
places round
about.
\VS{38}And
he
got
up
and
went
out
of
the
Synagogue
and
went
into
the
house
of
Simon.
And Simon's wife's mother
was
very ill
with
a burning heat;
and
in answer
to
their prayers
for
her
\VS{39}He went
near
her,
and
with
a sharp word
he
gave orders
to
the disease
and
it went
away
from
her;
and straight
away
she
got
up
and took
care
of
their needs.
\VS{40}And
at sundown
all
those
who
had
anyone
ill
with
any sort
of
disease,
took
them
to
him,
and
he
put
his
hands
on
every
one
of
them
and made
them
well.
\VS{41}And evil spirits
came
out
of
a
number
of
them,
crying
out
and
saying,
You
are
the
Son
of
God.
But
he gave
them sharp orders
not
to
say
a word,
because
they
had knowledge
that
he
was
the
Christ.
\VS{42}And
when
it
was
day,
he
came
out
and
went
to
a waste
place;
and great
numbers
of
people
came looking
for
him,
and
they
came
to
him
and
would
have
kept
him
from
going
away.
\VS{43}But
he
said
to
them,
I
have
to
give
the
good
news
of
the
kingdom
of
God
in
other
towns,
because
that
is why
I
was
sent.
\VS{44}And
he
was teaching
in
the
Synagogues
of
Galilee.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
it
came
about
that
while
the
people
came pushing
to
be
near
him,
and
to
have knowledge
of
the
word
of
God,
he
was
by
a wide stretch
of water named
Gennesaret;
\VS{2}And
he
saw
two
boats
by
the edge
of
the water,
but
the
fishermen
had gone
out
of
them
and
were
washing
their
nets.
\VS{3}And
he
got
into
one
of
the
boats,
the property
of
Simon,
and made
a
request
to
him
to go
a
little
way
out
from
the
land.
And
being
seated
he gave
the
people
teaching
from
the
boat.
\VS{4}And
when
his talk
was ended,
he
said
to
Simon, Go out
into
deep
water,
and
let
down
your
nets
for fish.
\VS{5}And
Simon,
answering,
said,
Master,
we
were
working
all
night
and
we
took
nothing:
but
at
your
word
I
will
let
down
the
nets.
\VS{6}And
when
they
had
done
this,
they got
such
a
great
number
of
fish
that
it seemed
as
if
their
nets
would
be broken;
\VS{7}And
they made signs
to
their friends
in
the
other
boat
to
come
to
their
help.
And
they
came,
and
the two
boats
were
so full
that
they
were
going down.
\VS{8}But
Simon,
when
he
saw
it,
went
down
at
the
knees
of
Jesus
and
said,
Go
away
from
me, O
Lord,
for
I
am
a
sinner.
\VS{9}For
he
was
full
of
wonder
and
so
were
all
those
who
were
with
him,
at
the
number
of
fish
which
they
had
taken;
\VS{10}And
so
were
James
and
John,
the
sons
of
Zebedee,
who
were working
with
Simon.
And
Jesus
said
to
Simon,
Have
no
fear;
from
this
time forward
you
will
be
a fisher
of
men.
\VS{11}And
when
they
had got
their
boats
to
the
land,
they
gave up
everything
and went
after
him.
\VS{12}And
it
came
about
that
while
he
was
in
one
of
the
towns,
there
was
a leper
there:
and
when
he
saw
Jesus
he
went
down
on
his
face
in prayer
to
him,
saying,
Lord,
if
it
is
your pleasure,
you
have
power
to
make
me
clean.
\VS{13}And
he put
out
his
hand
to
him
and
said,
It
is
my pleasure;
be
clean.
And straight
away
his disease
went
from
him.
\VS{14}And
he
gave
him
orders:
Say
nothing
to
any
man,
but
let
the
priest see
you
and
give
an
offering
so
that
you
may
be
made clean,
as
the law
of
Moses
says,
and
for
a
witness
to
them.
\VS{15}But
news
of
him
went
out
all
the
more,
in
every direction,
and
great
numbers
of
people
came
together
to
give
hearing
to
his
words
and
to
be
made
well
from
their
diseases.
\VS{16}But
he went
away
by
himself
to
a waste
place
for
prayer.
\VS{17}And
it
came
about
that
on
one
of
these
days
he
was
teaching;
and
some
Pharisees
and
teachers
of
the
law
were
seated
there,
who
had
come
from
every
town
of
Galilee
and Judaea
and
from
Jerusalem;
and
the
power
of
the
Lord
was
with
him,
to make
those
who
were ill free
from
their diseases.
\VS{18}And
some
men
had
with
them,
on
a
bed,
a
man
who
was ill,
without power
of moving;
and
they
made attempts
to get
him
in
and
put
him
before
Jesus.
\VS{19}And
because
of
the mass
of
people,
there
was
no
way
to
get
him
in;
so
they
went
up
on
the top
of
the house
and
let
him
down
through
the
roof,
on
his bed,
into
the
middle
in
front
of
Jesus.
\VS{20}And
seeing
their
faith
he
said,
Man,
you
have forgiveness
for
your
sins.
\VS{21}And
the
scribes
and
Pharisees
were having
an argument,
saying,
Who
is
this,
who
has
no respect
for
God?
who
is
able
to
give forgiveness
for
sins,
but
God
only?
\VS{22}But
Jesus,
who
had knowledge
of
their
thoughts,
said
to
them,
Why
are
you
reasoning
in
your
hearts?
\VS{23}Which
is
the simpler:
to
say,
You
have forgiveness
for
your
sins;
or
to
say,
Get
up
and
go?
\VS{24}But
so
that
you
may
see
that
on
earth
the
Son
of
man
has
authority
for
the forgiveness
of
sins, (he
said
to
the
man
who
was ill,)
I
say
to
you,
Get
up,
and
take
up
your bed,
and
go
into
your
house.
\VS{25}And straight
away
he
got
up
before
them,
and
took
up
his bed
and
went
away
to
his
house giving
praise
to
God.
\VS{26}And wonder overcame
them
all,
and
they gave
glory
to
God;
and
they
were
full
of
fear,
saying,
We
have
seen strange
things
today.
\VS{27}And
after
these
things
he
went
out,
and
saw
Levi,
a tax-farmer,
seated
at
the
place where taxes
were taken,
and
said
to
him,
Come
after
me.
\VS{28}And giving
up
his business,
he
got
up
and went
after
him.
\VS{29}And
Levi
made
a
great feast
for
him
in
his
house:
and
a
great
number
of tax-farmers
and
others
were seated
at table
with
them.
\VS{30}And
the
Pharisees
and
their
scribes
made protests
against
his
disciples,
saying,
Why
do
you take food
and
drink
with tax-farmers
and
sinners?
\VS{31}And
Jesus,
answering,
said
to
them,
Those
who
are
well
have
no
need
of
a medical man,
but
those
who
are ill.
\VS{32}I
have
come,
not
to get
the
upright,
but
sinners,
so that
they
may
be
turned
from their sins.
\VS{33}And
they
said
to
him,
The
disciples
of
John
frequently go
without food,
and
make
prayers,
and
so
do
the
disciples
of
the
Pharisees;
but
your
disciples take food
and
drink.
\VS{34}And
Jesus
said,
Are
you
able
to
make
the friends
of
the newly-married
man go
without food
when
he
is
with
them?
\VS{35}But
the
days
will
come
when
he
will
be
taken
away
from
them,
and
then
they
will
go
without food.
\VS{36}And
he
said
to
them,
in
a story,
No
man takes
a bit
of
cloth
from
a
new
coat
and
puts
it
on
to
an
old
coat,
for
so
the
new
coat
would
be damaged
and
the bit
from
the
new
would
not go
well
with
the
old.
\VS{37}And
no
man
puts
new
wine
into
old wine-skins,
for fear
that
the
skins
will
be
burst
by
the
new
wine,
and
the
wine
be let
out,
and
the
skins come
to destruction.
\VS{38}But
new
wine has
to
be
put
into
new wine-skins.
\VS{39}And
no
man, having
had
old wine,
has
any
desire
for
new,
for
he
says,
The
old
is better.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
it
came
about
that
on
the
Sabbath
he
was
going
through
the fields
of
grain,
and
his
disciples
took
the
heads
of
the
grain
for food, crushing
them
in
their
hands.
\VS{2}But
some
of
the
Pharisees
said,
Why
do
you
do
what
it
is
not right
to
do
on
the
Sabbath?
\VS{3}And
Jesus
said,
Have
you
not seen
in
the Writings
what
David
did
when
he
was
in need
of food,
he,
and
those
who
were
with
him;
\VS{4}How
he
went
into
the
house
of
God
and
took
for
food
the holy
bread,
which
only
the
priests
may
take,
and
gave
it
to
those
who
were
with
him?
\VS{5}And
he
said,
The
Son
of
man
is
lord
even
of
the
Sabbath.
\VS{6}And
it
came
about,
on
another
Sabbath,
that
he
went
into
the
Synagogue
and
was
teaching
there.
And
a
man
was
there
whose
right
hand
was dead.
\VS{7}And
the
scribes
and
Pharisees
were
watching
him
to see
if
he
would
make
him
well
on
the
Sabbath,
so
that
they
might
be able
to say something
against
him.
\VS{8}But
he
had knowledge
of
their
thoughts;
and
he
said
to
the
man
whose
hand
was dead,
Get
up
and
come
into
the
middle.
And
he
got
up
and
came
forward.
\VS{9}And
Jesus
said,
I
put
the
question
to
you,
Is
it
right
to
do
good
on
the
Sabbath
or
to
do
evil?
to
give
life
or
to take
it
away?
\VS{10}And
looking round
on
all
of
them,
he
said
to
him,
Put
out
your
hand.
And
he
did
so:
and
his
hand
was
made
well.
\VS{11}But
they
were full
of wrath,
and
were talking
together
about
what
they
might
do
to
Jesus.
\VS{12}And
it
came
about
in
those
days
that
he
went
out
to
the
mountain
for
prayer;
and
he
was
all
night
in
prayer
to
God.
\VS{13}And
the
day
came
and, turning
to
his
disciples,
he
made
a selection
from
among
them
of
twelve,
to
whom
he gave
the
name
of
Apostles;
\VS{14}Simon,
to
whom
he gave
the
name
of
Peter,
and
Andrew,
his
brother,
and
James
and
John
and
Philip
and
Bartholomew
\VS{15}And
Matthew
and
Thomas
and
James,
the son
of Alphaeus,
and
Simon,
who
was
named
the
Zealot,
\VS{16}And
Judas,
the son
of
James,
and
Judas
Iscariot,
he
who
was false
to
him.
\VS{17}And
he
came
down
with
them
to
a
level
place,
and
a
great band
of
his
disciples,
and
a
very
great
number
of
people
from
all Judaea
and
Jerusalem
and
from
the
parts
of
Tyre
and
Sidon
by
the sea,
came
to
give
hearing
to
him,
and
to
be made
well
from
their
diseases;
\VS{18}And
those
who
were
troubled
with
unclean
spirits
were made
well.
\VS{19}And
all
the
people
were desiring
to
be
touched
by
him,
for
power
came
from
him
and
made
them
all
well.
\VS{20}And
turning
his
eyes
to
his
disciples
he
said,
Happy
are
you
who
are
poor:
for
the
kingdom
of
God
is
yours.
\VS{21}Happy
are
you
who
are
in need
of food
now:
for
you
will
be made full.
Happy
are
you
who
are
weeping
now;
for
you
will
be glad.
\VS{22}Happy
are
you,
when
men
have
hate
for
you,
and
put
you
away
from among
them
and say angry
words
to
you, turning
away
in disgust
at
your
name,
because
of
the
Son
of
man.
\VS{23}Be
glad
in
that
day,
and
be lifted up
for
joy,
for
your
reward
in
heaven
will
be
great:
for
their
fathers
did
these
same
things
to
the
prophets.
\VS{24}But unhappy
are
you
who
have wealth:
for
you
have been comforted now.
\VS{25}Unhappy
are
you
who
are full
of food
now:
for
you
will
be
in need. Unhappy
are
you
who
are laughing
now:
for
you
will
be
crying
in sorrow.
\VS{26}Unhappy
are
you
when
all
men
give
you
their approval:
for
so
their
fathers
did
to
the
false
prophets.
\VS{27}But
I
say
to
you
who
give ear
to
me,
Have
love
for
those
who
are against
you,
do
good
to
those
who
have
hate
for
you,
\VS{28}Give
blessing
to
those
who give
you curses, say
prayers
for
those
who
are cruel
to
you.
\VS{29}If
a
man gives
you
a blow
on
one side
of
your face,
then
let
the
other side
be turned
to
him;
from
him
who
takes
away
your
coat,
do
not
keep
back
your
robe.
\VS{30}Give
to
everyone
who
comes
with
a
request,
and
if
a
man
takes
away
your property,
make
no attempt
to
get
it
back
again.
\VS{31}Do
to
others
as
you
would
have
them
do
to
you.
\VS{32}If
you
have
love
for
those
who
have
love
for
you,
what
credit
is
it
to
you?
for
even
sinners
have
love
for
those
who
have
love
for
them.
\VS{33}And
if
you
do
good
to
those
who
do
good
to
you,
what
credit
is
it
to
you?
for
even
sinners
do
the
same.
\VS{34}And
if
you
let
those
have
the use
of
your money,
from
whom
you
are
hoping
to get
it
back,
what
credit
is
it
to
you?
even
sinners
do
so
to
sinners,
hoping
to get
back
as much
as
they gave.
\VS{35}But
be loving
to
those
who
are
against
you
and
do
them
good,
and give
them
your
money,
not giving up hope,
and
your
reward
will
be
great
and
you
will
be
the
sons
of
the
Most
High:
for
he
is
kind
to
evil
men,
and
to
those
who
have
hard hearts.
\VS{36}Be full
of pity, even
as
your
Father
is full
of pity.
\VS{37}Be
not
judges
of others,
and
you
will
not
be
judged:
do
not give punishment
to others,
and
you
will
not get punishment yourselves:
make others
free,
and
you
will
be made
free:
\VS{38}Give,
and
it
will
be
given
to
you;
good
measure, crushed
down, full
and
running
over,
they
will
give
to
you.
For
in
the
same
measure
as
you
give,
it
will
be
given
to
you
again.
\VS{39}And
he gave
them teaching
in
the form
of
a story,
saying,
Is
it possible
for
one
blind
man
to
be
guide
to another?
will
they
not go falling
together
into
a hole?
\VS{40}The
disciple
is
not greater
than
his master,
but
everyone
whose learning
is
complete
will
be
like
his master.
\VS{41}And
why
do
you
take note
of
the grain
of dust
in
your brother's
eye,
but
take
no note
of
the bit
of wood
which
is
in
your
eye?
\VS{42}How
will
you
say
to
your
brother,
Brother,
let
me
take
the grain
of dust
out
of
your
eye,
when
you
yourself
do
not
see
the bit
of wood
in
your
eye? O false
one!
first
take
the wood
out
of
your
eye
and
then
you
will
see
clearly
to
take
the dust
out
of
your brother's
eye.
\VS{43}For
no
good
tree
gives
bad
fruit,
and
no
bad
tree
gives
good
fruit.
\VS{44}For
every
tree
is judged
by
its
fruit. Men
do
not get
figs
from
thorns,
or
grapes
from blackberry plants.
\VS{45}The
good
man,
out
of
the
good store
of
his
heart, gives
good
things;
and
the
evil
man,
out
of
his
evil store, gives
evil:
for
out
of
the
full store
of
the
heart
come
the
words
of
the
mouth.
\VS{46}Why
do
you
say
to
me,
Lord,
Lord,
and
do
not
the
things
which
I
say?
\VS{47}Everyone
who
comes
to
me
and
gives ear
to
my
words
and
does
them,
I
will
make clear
to
you
what
he
is
like:
\VS{48}He
is
like
a
man
building
a
house,
who
went
deep
and
put
the base
of
it
on
a
rock;
and
when
the water
came
up
and
the
river
was driving
against
that
house,
it
was
not moved,
because
the
building
was
good.
\VS{49}But
he
who
gives
hearing,
without
doing,
is
like
a
man
building
a
house
on
the
earth
without
a base
for
it;
and
when
the force
of
the
river
came
against
it,
straight away
it
came
down;
and
the destruction
of
that
house
was
great.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
he
had
come
to
the
end
of
all
his
words
in
the
hearing
of
the
people,
he
went
into
Capernaum.
\VS{2}And
a
certain captain
had
a
servant
who
was
very dear
to
him;
this
servant
was ill
and near
to death.
\VS{3}And
when news
of
Jesus
came
to
his
ears,
he
sent
to
him rulers
of
the
Jews,
requesting
that
he
would
come
and
make
his
servant
well.
\VS{4}And
they,
when
they
came
to
Jesus,
made
their
request warmly,
saying,
\VS{5}It
is right
for
you
to
do
this
for
him,
because
he
is
a friend
to
our
nation,
and
himself
has put
up
a
Synagogue
for us.
\VS{6}And
Jesus
went
with
them.
And
when
he
was
not
far
from
the
house,
the
man
sent
friends
to
him,
saying,
Lord,
do
not
give
yourself
trouble:
for
I
am
not important
enough
for
you
to
come
into
my
house:
\VS{7}And
I
had
the feeling
that
I
was
not
even good enough
to
come
to
you:
but
say
the
word
only,
and
my
servant
will
be
well.
\VS{8}For
I,
myself,
am
a
man
under
authority,
having
men
under
me;
and
I
say
to
this
one,
Go,
and
he
goes;
and
to
another,
Come,
and
he
comes;
and
to
my
servant,
Do
this,
and
he
does
it.
\VS{9}And
when
these
things
were
said
to
Jesus,
he
was
surprised,
and,
turning
to
the mass
of
people coming
after
him,
said,
I
have
not seen
such
great
faith,
no,
not
in
Israel.
\VS{10}And
when
those
who
were
sent came
back
to
the
house
they saw that
the
servant
was
well.
\VS{11}And
it
came
about,
after
a little time,
that
he
went
to
a
town
named
Nain;
and
his
disciples
went
with
him,
and
a
great
number
of
people.
\VS{12}Now
when
he
came
near
the door
of
the
town,
a
dead
man
was
being taken
out,
the
only
son
of
his
mother,
who
was
a
widow:
and
a great
number
of
people
from
the
town
were
with
her.
\VS{13}And
when
the
Lord
saw
her,
he
had
pity
on
her
and
said
to
her,
Be
not sad.
\VS{14}And
he
came
near,
and
put
his
hand
on
the stretcher where
the dead
man
was:
and
those
who
were moving
it
came
to
a
stop.
And
he
said,
Young
man,
I
say
to
you,
Get
up.
\VS{15}And
the
dead
man got
up,
and
words came
from
his lips.
And
he
gave
him
to
his
mother.
\VS{16}And
fear came
on
all,
and
they gave
praise
to
God,
saying,
A
great
prophet
is
among
us:
and,
God
has given
thought
to
his
people.
\VS{17}And
this
story
about
him
went
through
all Judaea
and
the places round
about.
\VS{18}And
the
disciples
of
John gave
him
an account
of
all
these
things.
\VS{19}Then
John
sent
two
of
his
disciples
to
the
Lord,
saying,
Are
you
he
who
is
to
come,
or
are
we
waiting
for
another?
\VS{20}And
when
the
men
came
to
him
they
said,
John
the
Baptist
has
sent
us
to
you,
saying,
Are
you
he
who
is
to
come,
or
are
we
waiting
for
another?
\VS{21}At
that
time,
he made
a number
of
people free
from
their
diseases
and
their pains,
and
from
evil
spirits;
and
to
others
who
were
blind
he
gave back
the use
of
their eyes.
\VS{22}And
answering
them
he
said,
Go back
and
give
news
to
John
of
what
you
have
seen,
and
the
things
which
have
come
to
your
ears;
the
blind
now
see,
those
who
had no power
in
their legs
are
walking,
lepers
are
made
clean,
those
who
had no
hearing
now
have
their
ears open,
dead
men
come
to
life
again,
and
the
poor
have
the
good
news
given
to
them.
\VS{23}And
a blessing
will
be
on
him
who
has
no doubts
about
me.
\VS{24}And
when
the men
who
were sent
by
John
had
gone
away,
he
said
to
the
people,
about
John,
What
did
you
go
out
into
the waste land
to
see?
a tall stem moving
in
the
wind?
\VS{25}But
what
did
you
go
out
to
see?
a
man
in
soft
clothing?
See
now,
those
who
have beautiful
clothing
and delicate food
are
in kings' houses.
\VS{26}But
what
did
you
go
out
to
see?
a
prophet?
Yes,
I
say
to
you,
and more
than
a
prophet.
\VS{27}This
is
he
of
whom
it
has
been said,
See,
I
send
my servant
before
your
face,
who
will make ready
your
way
before
you.
\VS{28}I
say
to
you,
Among
all
the sons
of
women,
not
one
is
greater
than
John:
but
he
who
is
least
in
the
kingdom
of
God
is
greater
than
he.
\VS{29}(And
all
the
people,
and
the tax-farmers,
to
whom
John
had given
baptism,
when
they
had knowledge
of
these
things, gave glory
to
God.
\VS{30}But
the
Pharisees
and
the teachers
of
the
law
were
against
the
purpose
of
God
for
themselves,
not having
had
his baptism.)
\VS{31}What comparison
am
I
to make
of
the
men
of
this
generation?
what
are
they
like?
\VS{32}They
are
like
children
who
are
seated
in
the market-place,
crying
out
to
one
another,
and
saying,
We
made music
for
you,
but
you
did
not take part
in
the
dance;
we gave cries
of sorrow,
but
you
were
not sad.
\VS{33}For
John
the
Baptist
came, taking
no
food
or
drink,
and
you
say,
He
has
an evil spirit.
\VS{34}The
Son
of
man
came feasting,
and
you
say,
Here
is
a lover
of food
and wine,
a
friend
of tax-farmers
and
sinners.
\VS{35}But
wisdom
is judged
to
be right
by
all
her
children.
\VS{36}And
one
of
the
Pharisees made
a
request
that
he
would
take
a meal
with
him.
And
he
went
into
the Pharisee's
house
and took
his seat
at
the table.
\VS{37}And
there
was
a
woman
in
the
town
who
was
a
sinner;
and
when
she
had news
that
he
was
a guest
in
the Pharisee's
house,
she took
a bottle
of
perfume,
\VS{38}And went
in
and took
her place
at
the
back
of
him, near
his
feet,
weeping,
so
that
his
feet
were washed
with
the drops
from
her eyes,
and
with
her
hair
she made
them
dry,
and
kissing
his
feet
she
put
the
perfume
on
them.
\VS{39}Now
when
the
Pharisee
in
whose house
he
was
saw
it,
he
said
to
himself,
This
man,
if
he
was
a
prophet,
would
be conscious
what
sort
of
woman
this
is
who
has
put
her hands
on
him,
that
she
is
a
sinner.
\VS{40}And
Jesus,
answering,
said,
Simon,
I
have
something
to
say
to
you.
And
he
said, Master,
say
on.
\VS{41}And
he said,
Two
men
were
in debt
to
a
certain
man
of business:
one
had
a debt
of
five
hundred pence,
and
the
other
of
fifty.
\VS{42}When
they
were
unable
to
make payment,
he
made
the two
of
them free
of
their debts.
Which
of
them,
now,
will
have
the
greater
love
for
him?
\VS{43}Simon,
in
answer,
said,
It seems
he
whose debt
was
greater.
And
he
said,
Your decision
is right.
\VS{44}And
turning
to
the
woman
he
said
to
Simon,
You
see
this
woman?
I
came
into
your
house;
you
did
not
give
me
water
for
my
feet:
but
she
has
been washing
my
feet
with
the drops
from
her eyes,
and drying
them
with
her
hair.
\VS{45}You
did
not
give
me
a
kiss:
but
she,
from
the time
when
I
came
in,
has
gone
on
kissing
my
feet.
\VS{46}You put
no
oil
on my
head:
but
she
has put
perfume
on my
feet.
\VS{47}And
so
I
say
to
you,
She
will
have forgiveness
for
her
sins
which
are
great
in
number,
because
of
her
great
love:
but
he
who
has
small need
of forgiveness
gives
little
love.
\VS{48}And
he
said
to
her,
You
have forgiveness
for
your
sins.
\VS{49}And
those
who
were seated
at
table
with
him
said
to
themselves,
Who
is
this
who
even
gives forgiveness
of
sins?
\VS{50}And
he
said
to
the
woman,
By
your
faith
you
have
salvation;
go
in
peace.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
about,
after
a short time,
that
he
went
through
town
and country giving
the
good
news
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
with
him
were
the
twelve,
\VS{2}And
certain
women
who
had
been made free
from
evil
spirits
and
diseases,
Mary
named
Magdalene,
from
whom
seven
evil
spirits
had
gone
out,
\VS{3}And
Joanna,
the
wife
of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant,
and
Susanna
and
a
number
of
others,
who gave
him
of
their wealth
for
his needs.
\VS{4}And
when
a
great
number
of
people
came
together,
and
men
from
every
town went out
to
him,
he gave
them teaching
in
the form
of
a story:
\VS{5}A man
went
out
to put
in
seed,
and
while
he
was doing
it,
some
was dropped
by
the wayside
and
it
was crushed
under
foot,
and
was taken
by
the
birds
of
heaven.
\VS{6}And
some went
on
the
rock,
and
when
it
came
up
it became dry
and dead
because
it
had
no water.
\VS{7}And
some went
among
thorns,
and
the
thorns
came up
with
it
and
it
had no room
for growth.
\VS{8}And
some
falling
on
good
earth,
came
up
and
gave
fruit
a
hundred
times
as
much.
And
with
these
words
he
said
in
a loud voice,
He
who
has
ears,
let
him
give
ear.
\VS{9}And
his
disciples put
questions
to
him
about
the point
of
the story.
\VS{10}And
he
said,
To
you
is
given knowledge
of
the secrets
of
the
kingdom
of
God;
but
to
the
others,
they
are
given
in stories,
so
that
seeing,
they
may
not
see,
and
though
they
give
hearing,
the sense
will
not
be clear
to
them.
\VS{11}Now
this
is
the point
of
the
story:
The
seed
is
the
word
of
God.
\VS{12}Those
by
the
side
of
the
road
are
those
who
have given
hearing;
then
the Evil
One
comes
and
takes
away
the
word
from
their
hearts,
so
that
they
may
not
have
faith
and
get
salvation.
\VS{13}And
those
on
the
rock
are
those
who
with
joy
give
hearing
to
the
word;
but
having
no
root,
they
have
faith
for
a
time,
and
when
the test
comes
they
give up.
\VS{14}And
those
which
went
among
thorns
are
those
who
have given
hearing,
and
go
on
their
way,
but
they
are overcome
by
cares
and
wealth
and
the
pleasures
of
life,
and
they
give
no
fruit.
\VS{15}And
those
in
the
good
earth
are
those
who, having given ear
to
the
word,
keep
it
with
a
good
and true
heart,
and
in quiet strength
give
fruit.
\VS{16}No
man,
when
the
light
is lighted,
puts
a
cover
over
it,
or
puts
it
under
a
bed,
but
he
puts
it
on
its table,
so
that
those
who
come
in
may
see
the
light.
\VS{17}For
nothing
is
put
out
of
view
which
will
not
be
made clear,
and
nothing
is
secret
of
which
the knowledge
will
not
come
to
light.
\VS{18}So
take
care
how
you
give
hearing,
for
to
him
who
has
will
be
given,
and
from
him
who
has
not
will
be
taken
even
what
he
seems
to
have.
\VS{19}And
his
mother
and
his
brothers
came
to
him,
and
they
were
not
able
to
get
near
him
because
of
the
great
number
of
people.
\VS{20}And someone
said
to
him,
Your
mother
and
your
brothers
are
outside
desiring
to
see
you.
\VS{21}But
he
said
to
them
in
answer,
My
mother
and
my
brothers
are
those
who
have knowledge
of
the
word
of
God
and
do
it.
\VS{22}Now
it
came
about
on
one
of
those
days
that
he
got
into
a
boat
with
his
disciples;
and
he
said
to
them,
Let
us
go
over
to
the
other
side
of
the water:
and
they
put
out
the
boat.
\VS{23}But
while
they
were
sailing
he
went
to sleep:
and
a
storm
of
wind
came
down
on
the sea,
and
the boat became full
of water
and
they
were
in
danger.
\VS{24}Then
they
came
to
him
and, awaking
him
out
of
his sleep,
said,
Master,
Master, destruction
is
near.
And
he,
when
he
was awake, gave orders
to
the
wind
and
the rolling
waves,
and
the storm
came
to
an
end,
and
all
was
calm.
\VS{25}And
he
said
to
them,
Where
is
your
faith?
And
fear
and
wonder overcame
them,
and
they
said
to
one
another,
Who
then
is
this,
who
gives orders
even
to
the
winds
and
the
water
and
they
do
what
he
says?
\VS{26}And
they
came
to
the
country
of
the
Gerasenes,
which
is
opposite
Galilee.
\VS{27}And
when
he
had
come
to
the
land,
there
came
to
him
a
certain
man
from
the
town
who
had evil spirits;
and
for
a
long
time
he
had
had
no
clothing
on,
and
was
not
living
in
a
house
but
in
the
place
of
the dead.
\VS{28}And
when
he
saw
Jesus,
he gave
a
loud
cry
and went
down
on
the earth
before
him
and
in
a
loud
voice
said,
What
have
I
to
do
with
you,
Jesus,
Son
of
the
Most
High
God?
Do
not
be cruel
to
me.
\VS{29}For
he
gave
an
order
to
the evil
spirit
to
come
out
of
the
man.
For frequently
it
would take
a grip
of
him:
and
he
was
kept
under control,
and prisoned
with
chains;
but parting
the
chains
in two,
he
would
be sent
by
the driving
of
the evil
spirit
into waste places.
\VS{30}And
Jesus
said
to
him,
What
is
your
name?
And
he
said,
Legion;
for
a
number
of spirits
had
gone
into
him.
\VS{31}And
they made
a request
to
him
that
he
would
not give
them
an
order
to
go
away
into
the deep.
\VS{32}Now
there
was
a great
herd
of
pigs
in
that
place, getting food
on
the
mountain:
and
the evil spirits made
a request
to
him
that
he
would
let
them
go
into
the
pigs,
and
he
let
them.
\VS{33}And
the evil spirits
came
out
of
the
man
and
went
into
the
pigs:
and
the
herd
went rushing
down
a sharp slope
into
the water
and
came
to destruction.
\VS{34}And
when
the men
who
took care
of
them
saw
what
had
come
about,
they
went quickly
and gave news
of
it
in
the
town
and
the
country.
\VS{35}And
they
went
out
to
see
what
had
taken
place,
and
they
came
to
Jesus
and
saw
the
man
out
of
whom
the evil spirits
had
gone,
seated,
clothed
and
with full use
of
his senses,
at
the
feet
of
Jesus;
and
fear
came
on
them.
\VS{36}And
those
who
had
seen
it gave
them
an account
of
how
the
man
who
had
the evil spirits
was
made
well.
\VS{37}And
all
the
people
of
the
country
of
the
Gerasenes made
a
request
to
him
to
go
away
from
them;
for
they
were
in
great
fear:
and
he
got
into
a
boat
and
went
back.
\VS{38}But
the
man
from
whom
the evil spirits
had
gone
out
had
a great desire
to
be
with
him,
but
he
sent
him
away,
saying,
\VS{39}Go
back
to
your
house
and let
them
have news
of
all
the
great
things
which
God
has
done
for
you.
And
he
went
away,
giving word
through
all
the
town
of
the
great
things
which
Jesus
had
done
for
him.
\VS{40}And
when
Jesus
went
back,
the
people
were glad
to see
him,
for
they
were
all
waiting
for
him.
\VS{41}Then
there
came
a
man
named
Jairus,
who
was
a
ruler
in
the
Synagogue:
and
he
went
down
at
the
feet
of
Jesus, desiring
him
to
come
to
his
house;
\VS{42}For
he
had
an
only
daughter,
about
twelve
years old,
and
she
was
near
to
death.
But
while
he
was
on
his
way,
the
people
were pushing
to
be
near
him.
\VS{43}And
a
woman,
who
had
had
a flow
of
blood
for
twelve
years,
and
had given
all
her money
to medical men,
and
not
one
of
them
was
able
to
make
her
well,
\VS{44}Came
after
him
and
put
her hand
on
the edge
of
his
robe,
and straight away
the flowing
of
her
blood
was
stopped.
\VS{45}And
Jesus
said,
Who
was
touching
me?
And
when
they
all
said,
It
is
not
I,
Peter
and
those
who
were
with
him
said,
Master,
the
people
are pushing round
you
on
every side.
\VS{46}But
Jesus
said,
Someone
was
touching
me,
for
I
had
the feeling
that
power
had
gone
out
from
me.
\VS{47}And
when
the
woman
saw
that
she
was
not able
to keep
it secret,
she
came, shaking
with fear,
and falling
down
before
him
she made clear
before
all
the
people
the
reason
for
her
touching
him,
and
how
she
was made
well straight away.
\VS{48}And
he
said
to
her,
Daughter,
your
faith
has
made
you
well;
go
in
peace.
\VS{49}While
he
was
still
talking,
someone
came
from
the
house
of
the ruler
of
the
Synagogue,
saying,
Your
daughter
is
dead;
do
not
go
on troubling
the Master.
\VS{50}But
Jesus
at
these
words
said
to
him,
Have
no
fear,
only
have
faith,
and
she
will
be
made
well.
\VS{51}And
when
he
came
to
the
house
he
did
not
let
any
man
go
in
with
him,
but
only
Peter
and
John
and
James,
and
the
father
of
the girl
and
her
mother.
\VS{52}And
all
the
people
were
weeping
and
crying
for
her;
but
he
said,
Do
not
be sad,
for
she
is
not
dead,
but
sleeping.
\VS{53}And
they
were
laughing
at
him, being certain
that
she
was
dead.
\VS{54}But
he,
taking
her
hand,
said
to
her,
My
child,
get
up.
\VS{55}And
her
spirit
came
back
to
her
and
she
got
up straight away:
and
he
gave
orders
that
food
was
to
be
given
to
her.
\VS{56}And
her father
and mother
were full
of wonder,
but
he
gave
orders
to
them
to
say
nothing
about
it
to
anyone.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
getting
the
twelve
together,
he
gave
them
power
and
authority
over
all evil spirits
and
over
diseases,
to
make
them
well.
\VS{2}And
he
sent
them
out
to
be preachers
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
to make
well
those
who
were ill.
\VS{3}And
he
said
to
them,
Take
nothing
for
your
journey,
no stick
or
bag
or
bread
or
money,
and
do
not
take
two
coats.
\VS{4}And
if
you
go
into
a
house,
let
that
house
be
your resting-place till
you
go
away.
\VS{5}And
if
any
people
will
not
take
you
in,
when
you
go
away
from
that
town, put
off
its
dust
from
your
feet
for
a
witness
against
them.
\VS{6}And
they
went
away, journeying
through
all
the towns,
preaching
the
good
news
and making
people free
from diseases
in
all places.
\VS{7}Now
Herod
the king
had news
of
all
these
things:
and
he
was
in doubt,
because
it
was
said
by
some
people
that
John
had
come back
from
the
dead;
\VS{8}And
by
some,
that
Elijah
had come;
and
by
others,
that
one
of
the
old
prophets
had come back
to life.
\VS{9}And
Herod
said,
I put
John
to death:
but
who
is
this,
of
whom
such stories
are given
to
me?
And
he
had
a desire
to
see
him.
\VS{10}And
the twelve,
when
they came
back,
gave
him
an
account
of
what
they
had
done.
And
he
took
them
with
him
and
went
away
from
the
people
to
a
town
named Beth-saida.
\VS{11}But
the
people, getting news
of
it, went
after
him:
and
he
was pleased
to
see
them,
and gave
them
teaching
about
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
made
those
well
who
were
in
need
of
it.
\VS{12}And
the
day
went
on;
and
the
twelve
came
to
him
and
said,
Send
these
people
away
so
that
they
may
go
into
the towns
and
the
country
round
about
and
get resting-places
and food
for
themselves,
for
we
are
in
a waste
place.
\VS{13}But
he
said,
Give
them
food
yourselves.
And
they
said,
We
have
only
five cakes
of
bread
and
two fishes,
if
we
do
not
go
and get
food
for
all
these
people.
\VS{14}For
there
were
about
five
thousand
men.
And
he
said
to
his
disciples, Make
them
be seated
in
groups,
about
fifty
to
a group.
\VS{15}And
they
did
so,
and
made
them
all
be seated.
\VS{16}And
he
took
the
five cakes
of
bread
and
the
two fishes
and,
looking
up
to
heaven,
he
said
words
of
blessing
over
them,
and
when
they
had
been broken,
he
gave
them
to
the
disciples
to
give
to
the
people.
\VS{17}And
they
all
took
the
food
and
had
enough;
and
they
took
up
of
the
broken bits
which
were
over,
twelve
baskets
full.
\VS{18}And
it
came
about
that
when
he
was
in
prayer,
by
himself,
and
the
disciples
were
with
him,
he
put
a
question
to
them,
saying,
Who
do
the
people
say
I
am?
\VS{19}And
they,
answering,
said,
John
the
Baptist;
but
others
say
Elijah;
and
others,
that
one
of
the
old
prophets
has come back.
\VS{20}And
he
said,
But
who
do
you
say
that
I
am?
And
Peter,
answering,
said,
The
Christ
of
God.
\VS{21}But
he
gave
them special
orders,
not
to
say
this
to
any
man;
\VS{22}Saying,
The
Son
of
man
will undergo
much
and
be
put
on
one side
by
the rulers
and
the
chief
priests
and
the teachers
of
the law,
and
be
put
to
death,
and
on
the
third
day
he
will come back
to life.
\VS{23}And
he
said
to
them
all,
If
any
man
has
a
desire
to
come
after
me,
let
him
give
up
all,
and
take
up
his
cross
every
day,
and
come
after
me.
\VS{24}For
whoever
has
a
desire
to keep
his
life
will
have
it taken
from
him,
but
whoever gives up
his
life
because
of
me,
will keep
it.
\VS{25}For
what
profit
will
a
man
have if
he gets
all
the
world,
but undergoes
loss
or destruction
himself?
\VS{26}For
if
any
man
has
a feeling
of shame
because
of
me
or
of
my
words,
the
Son
of
man
will
have shame
because
of
him
when
he
comes
in
his
glory
and
the
glory
of
the
Father
and
of
the
holy
angels.
\VS{27}But
truly
I
say
to
you,
Some
of
those
who
are
here
now
will
have
no
taste
of
death till
they
see
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{28}And
about
eight
days
after
he
had
said
these
things,
he
took
Peter
and
John
and
James
with
him
and
went
up
into
the
mountain
for
prayer.
\VS{29}And
while
he
was
in
prayer,
his
face
was changed
and
his
clothing
became
white
and shining.
\VS{30}And
two
men,
Moses
and
Elijah,
were
talking
with
him;
\VS{31}Who
were
seen
in
glory
and
were
talking
of
his death
which
was
about
to take
place
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{32}Now
Peter
and
those
who
were
with
him
were
overcome
with
sleep:
but
when
they
were
fully
awake,
they
saw
his
glory
and
the
two
men
who
were
with
him.
\VS{33}And
when
they
were
about
to go
away
from
him,
Peter
said
to
Jesus,
Master,
it
is
good
for
us
to
be
here;
let
us
make
three
tents,
one
for
you
and
one
for
Moses
and
one
for
Elijah:
having
no knowledge
of
what
he
was
saying.
\VS{34}And
while
he
said
these
things,
the shade
of
a
cloud
came
over
them,
and
they
were full
of
fear
when
they
went
into
the
cloud.
\VS{35}And
there
was
a
voice
from
the
cloud
saying,
This
is
my
Son,
the
man
of
my selection;
give ear
to
him.
\VS{36}And
after
the
voice
was gone
they
saw
that
Jesus
was
by
himself.
And
they
kept
quiet,
and
said
nothing
at
that
time
to
anyone
of
the
things
which
they
had
seen.
\VS{37}And
on
the
day
after,
when
they
came
down
from
the
mountain,
a
great band
of
people
came
to
him.
\VS{38}And
a
man
from
among
them,
crying
out,
said, Master,
I make
a request
to
you,
give
a
thought
to
my
son,
for
he
is
my
only child:
\VS{39}And
see,
a
spirit
takes
him,
and
suddenly
he gives
a
cry, twisted
in pain
and streaming
at
the lips,
and
when
it goes
away
from
him
at last,
he
is marked
as
from blows.
\VS{40}And
I made
a request
to
your
disciples
to
send
it
out
of
him,
but
they
were
not
able
to
do
it.
\VS{41}And
Jesus
said,
O
generation
without faith
and false
in heart,
how
long
will
I
have
to
be
with
you
and
put up
with
you?
let
your
son
come
here.
\VS{42}And
while
he
was
coming,
he
was pushed violently
down
and twisted
by
the evil
spirit.
But
Jesus
gave sharp orders
to
the
unclean
spirit,
and
made
the
boy
well,
and
gave
him
back
to
his
father.
\VS{43}And
they
were
full
of
wonder
at
the
great power
of
God.
But
while
they
were
all
wondering
at
all
the
things
which
he
did,
he
said
to
his
disciples,
\VS{44}Let
these
words go deep
into
your
ears,
for
the
Son
of
man
will
be
given
up
into
the
hands
of
men.
\VS{45}But
this
saying
was
not clear
to
them
and
its sense
was
kept secret
from
them
so
that
they
were
not able
to see
it:
and
they
had
fear
of questioning
him
about
it.
\VS{46}Now
there
was
a discussion
among
them
about
which
of
them
would
be
the
greatest.
\VS{47}But
when
Jesus
saw
the reasoning
of
their
hearts,
he
took
a small
child
and
put
him
by
his
side,
\VS{48}And
said
to
them,
Whoever
gives honour
to
this
child
in
my
name,
gives honour
to
me:
and
whoever
gives honour
to
me,
gives honour
to
him
who
sent
me:
for
whoever
is
least
among
you
all,
that
man
is
great.
\VS{49}And
John,
answering,
said,
Master,
we
saw
a
man driving
out evil spirits
in
your
name,
and
we
did
not
let
him
do
it,
because
he
was
not
one
of
us.
\VS{50}But
Jesus
said
to
him,
Let
him
do
it,
for
he
who
is
not
against
you
is
for
you.
\VS{51}And
it
came
about
that
when
the
days
were
near
for
him
to
be
taken
up,
his
face
was
turned
to
go
to
Jerusalem,
\VS{52}And
he
sent
men
before:
and
they
came
to
a small
town
of Samaria
to
make
ready
for
him.
\VS{53}But
they
would
not
have
him
there,
because
he
was clearly
going
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{54}And
when
his
disciples,
James
and
John,
saw
this,
they
said,
Lord,
may
we send
fire
from
heaven
and put
an end
to
them?
\VS{55}But
turning round
he said sharp words
to
them.
\VS{56}And
they
went
to
another small
town.
\VS{57}And
when
they
were
on
the
way,
a
certain
man
said
to
him,
I
will come
after
you
wherever
you
go.
\VS{58}And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Foxes
have
holes
and
the
birds
of
the
air
have resting-places,
but
the
Son
of
man
has nowhere
to
put
his
head.
\VS{59}And
he
said
to
another, Come
after
me.
But
he
said,
Lord,
let
me
first
go
and
give
the last honours
to
my
father.
\VS{60}But
he
said
to
him,
Let
the
dead take care
of
their
dead;
it
is
for
you
to
go
and
give news
of
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{61}And
another
man
said,
I
will come
with
you,
Lord,
but
first
let
me
say
a last good-day
to
those
who
are
at
my
house.
\VS{62}But
Jesus
said,
No
man, having
put
his
hand
to
the plough
and
looking
back,
is
good enough
for
the
kingdom
of
God.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
after
these
things,
the
Lord made selection
of
seventy
others
and
sent
them
before
him,
two
together,
into
every
town
and
place
where
he
himself
was
about
to
come.
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
them,
There
is
much grain ready
to
be cut,
but not
enough
workers:
so make prayer
to
the
Lord
of
the grain-fields
that
he
will
send
workers
to get
in
the grain.
\VS{3}Go
on
your
way:
see,
I
send
you
out
like
lambs
among
wolves.
\VS{4}Take
no
bag
for
money
or
for food,
and
no
shoes; say
no word
to
any
man
on
the
way.
\VS{5}And
whenever
you
go
into
a
house,
first
say,
Peace
be
to
this
house.
\VS{6}And
if
a
son
of
peace
is
there,
your
peace
will
be
with
him:
but
if
not,
it
will
come back
to
you
again.
\VS{7}And
keep
in
that
same
house, taking
what food
and
drink
they
give
you:
for
the
worker
has
a
right
to
his
reward.
Do
not go
from
house
to
house.
\VS{8}And
into
whatever
town
you
go,
if
they
take
you
in,
take
whatever food
is given
to
you:
\VS{9}And make
well
those
in
it
who
are ill
and
say
to
them,
The
kingdom
of
God
is
near
to
you.
\VS{10}But
if
you
go
into
a
town
where
they
will
not
have
you,
go
out
into
the
streets
of
it
and
say,
\VS{11}Even
the
dust
of
your
town,
which
is
on
our
feet,
we
put
off
as
a witness
against
you;
but
be certain
of
this,
that
the
kingdom
of
God
is
near.
\VS{12}I
say
to
you,
It
will
be better
in
that
day
for
Sodom
than
for
that
town.
\VS{13}A curse
is
on
you,
Chorazin!
A curse
is
on
you, Beth-saida!
For
if such works
of
power
had
been
done
in
Tyre
and
Sidon
as
have
been
done
in
you,
they
would
have
been
turned
from
their sins,
in days gone
by,
seated
in
the dust.
\VS{14}But
it
will
be better
for
Tyre
and
Sidon,
in
the day
of judging,
than
for
you.
\VS{15}And
you,
Capernaum,
were
you
not
lifted up
to
heaven?
you
will
go
down
to
hell.
\VS{16}Whoever gives ear
to
you, gives ear
to
me;
and
whoever
is against
you,
is against
me;
and
whoever
is against
me,
is against
him
who
sent
me.
\VS{17}And
the
seventy came
back
with
joy,
saying,
Lord,
even
the evil spirits
are
under
our power
in
your
name.
\VS{18}And
he
said,
I
was
watching
for
Satan,
falling
from
heaven
like
a star.
\VS{19}See,
I
have
given
you
power
to
put
your feet
on
snakes
and evil beasts,
and
over
all
the
strength
of
him
who
is
against
you:
and
nothing
will
do
you
damage.
\VS{20}Do
not
be
glad,
however,
because
you
have power
over
spirits,
but
because
your
names
are
recorded
in
heaven.
\VS{21}In
that
same
hour
he
was full
of joy
in
the
Holy
Spirit
and
said,
I
give
praise
to
you, O
Father,
Lord
of
heaven
and
earth,
because
you
have kept
these
things secret
from
the
wise
and
the
men
of learning,
and
have
made
them clear
to little
children:
for
so, O
Father,
it
was pleasing
in
your eyes.
\VS{22}All
things
have
been
given
to
me
by
my
Father:
and
no
one
has knowledge
of
the
Son,
but
only
the
Father:
and
of
the
Father,
but
only
the
Son,
and
he
to
whom
the
Son
will
make
it clear.
\VS{23}And,
turning
to
the
disciples,
he
said
privately,
Happy
are
the
eyes
which
see
the
things
you
see:
\VS{24}For
I
say
to
you
that
numbers
of
prophets
and
kings
have
had
a
desire
to
see
the
things
which
you
see,
and
have
not
seen
them,
and
to
have knowledge
of
the
things
which
have
come
to
your
ears,
and
they
had
it
not.
\VS{25}And
a
certain
teacher
of
the
law
got
up
and
put
him
to
the
test,
saying, Master,
what
have
I
to
do
so
that
I
may
have
eternal
life?
\VS{26}And
he
said
to
him,
What
does
the
law
say,
in
your
reading
of
it?
\VS{27}And
he,
answering,
said,
Have
love
for
the
Lord
your
God
with
all
your
heart
and
with
all
your
soul
and
with
all
your
strength
and
with
all
your
mind;
and
for
your neighbour
as
for
yourself.
\VS{28}And
he
said,
You
have given
the right
answer:
do
this
and
you
will
have
life.
\VS{29}But
he,
desiring
to put
himself
in
the right,
said
to
Jesus,
And
who
is
my neighbour?
\VS{30}And
Jesus, answering
him,
said,
A
certain
man
was
going
down
from
Jerusalem
to
Jericho,
and
he
got
into
the hands
of thieves,
who
took
his clothing
and
gave
him cruel
blows,
and
when
they
went
away,
he
was
half
dead.
\VS{31}And
by
chance
a
certain
priest
was
going
down
that
way:
and
when
he
saw
him,
he
went
by
on
the
other
side.
\VS{32}And
in
the
same
way,
a
Levite,
when
he
came
to
the
place
and
saw
him,
went
by
on
the
other
side.
\VS{33}But
a
certain
man
of Samaria, journeying
that
way,
came
where
he
was,
and
when
he
saw
him,
he
was
moved
with
pity
for
him,
\VS{34}And
came
to
him
and
put clean linen round
his
wounds,
with
oil
and
wine;
and
he
put
him
on
his
beast
and
took
him
to
a house
and
took
care
of
him.
\VS{35}And
the
day
after
he
took
two pennies
and
gave
them
to
the owner
of
the house
and
said,
Take
care
of
him;
and
if
this
money
is
not enough,
when
I come
again
I
will
give
you
whatever
more
is needed.
\VS{36}Which
of
these
three
men,
in
your opinion,
was neighbour
to
the
man
who
came
into
the hands
of thieves?
\VS{37}And
he
said,
The
one
who
had
mercy
on
him.
And
Jesus
said,
Go
and
do
the
same.
\VS{38}Now,
while
they
were
on
their
way,
he
came
to
a
certain
town;
and
a
woman
named
Martha
took
him
into
her
house.
\VS{39}And
she
had
a
sister,
by
name
Mary,
who took
her seat
at
the Lord's
feet
and gave attention
to
his
words.
\VS{40}But
Martha
had
her hands
full
of
the work
of
the house,
and
she
came
to
him
and
said,
Lord,
is
it
nothing
to
you
that
my
sister
has
let
me
do
all
the work?
Say
to
her
that
she
is
to
give
me
some
help.
\VS{41}But
the
Lord,
answering,
said
to
her,
Martha,
Martha,
you
are
full
of
care
and troubled
about such
a
number
of
things:
\VS{42}Little
is
needed,
or
even
one
thing
only:
for
Mary
has
taken
that
good
part,
which
will
not
be
taken
away
from
her.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
about
that
he
was
in
prayer
in
a
certain
place,
and
when
he
came
to
an
end,
one
of
his
disciples
said
to
him,
Lord,
will
you
give
us
teaching
about
prayer,
as
John
did
to
his
disciples?
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
them,
When
you
say
your
prayers,
say,
Father,
may
your
name be kept
holy
and
your
kingdom
come.
\VS{3}Give
us
every
day
bread
for
our needs.
\VS{4}May
we
have forgiveness
for
our
sins,
as
we
make free
all
those
who
are
in debt
to
us.
And
let
us
not
be put
to
the test.
\VS{5}And
he
said
to
them,
Which
of
you,
having
a
friend,
would
go
to
him
in
the middle
of
the night
and
say
to
him,
Friend,
let
me
have
three cakes
of
bread;
\VS{6}Because
a
friend
of
mine
has
come
to
me
on
a
journey,
and
I
have
nothing
to put
before
him;
\VS{7}And
he,
from
inside
the house,
would
say
in
answer,
Do
not
be
a
trouble
to
me;
the
door
is
now
shut,
and
my
children
are
with
me
in
bed;
it
is
not possible
for
me
to
get
up
and
give
to
you?
\VS{8}I
say
to
you,
Though
he
will
not
get
up
and
give
to
him,
because
he
is
his
friend, still,
if
he keeps
on making
his request,
he
will
get
up
and
give
him
as
much
as
he
has
need
of.
\VS{9}And
I
say
to
you,
Make requests,
and
they
will
be
answered;
what
you
are
searching
for,
you
will
get;
when
you
give
the sign,
the door
will
be
open
to
you.
\VS{10}For
to
everyone
who makes
a
request,
it
will
be given;
and
he
who
is
searching
will
get
his desire;
and
to
him
who gives
the sign,
the door
will
be
open.
\VS{11}And
which
of
you,
being
a
father,
will
give
a
stone
to
his
son,
who makes
request
for
bread?
or
for
a
fish,
will
give
him
a
snake?
\VS{12}Or
for
an
egg,
will
give
him
a
scorpion?
\VS{13}If,
then,
you
who
are
evil
are able
to
give
good
things
to
your
children,
how
much
more
will
your
Father
in
heaven
give
the
Holy
Spirit
to
those
who
make
request
to
him?
\VS{14}And
he
was sending
an evil spirit
out
of
a
man
who
was
without
the power
of
talking.
And
it
came
about
that
when
the spirit
had
gone
the
man
had
the power
of
talking;
and
the
people
were full
of
wonder.
\VS{15}But
some
of
them
said,
He sends
out evil spirits
by
Beelzebul,
the
ruler
of evil spirits.
\VS{16}And
others,
testing
him,
were
looking
for
a
sign
from
heaven
from
him.
\VS{17}But
he, having knowledge
of
their
thoughts,
said
to
them,
Every
kingdom
in
which
there
is division
is
made
waste;
and
a
house
in
which
there
is division
comes
to destruction.
\VS{18}If,
then,
Satan
is
at war
with
himself,
how
will
he keep
his
kingdom?
because
you
say
that
I
send evil spirits
out
of
men
by
the help
of
Beelzebul.
\VS{19}And
if
I,
by
Beelzebul,
send
out evil spirits,
by
whose help
do
your
sons
send
them
out?
so
let
them
be
your
judges.
\VS{20}But
if
I,
by
the
finger
of
God,
send
out evil spirits,
then
the
kingdom
of
God
has overtaken
you.
\VS{21}When
the
strong
man
armed
keeps watch
over
his
house,
then
his goods
are
safe:
\VS{22}But
when
one
who
is
stronger makes
an attack
on
him
and
overcomes
him,
he
takes
away
his instruments
of war,
in
which
he
had
put
his
faith,
and makes division
of
his goods.
\VS{23}He
who
is
not
with
me
is
against
me,
and
he
who
will
not give
me help
in getting
people
together
is driving
them
away.
\VS{24}The
unclean
spirit,
when
he
has
gone
out
of
a
man,
goes
through dry
places,
looking
for
rest;
and
when
he
does
not
get
it,
he
says,
I
will
go
back
to
my
house
from
which
I
came.
\VS{25}And
when
he
comes,
he sees that
it
has
been made fair
and clean.
\VS{26}Then
he
goes
and gets
seven
other
spirits
more
evil
than
himself,
and
they
go
in,
and
take
their places
there:
and
the
last condition
of
that
man
is
worse
than
the
first.
\VS{27}And
it
came
about
that
when
he
said
these
things,
a
certain
woman
among
the
people
said
in
a loud
voice,
Happy
is
the body
which gave
you
birth,
and
the
breasts
from
which
you
took milk.
\VS{28}But
he
said,
More
happy
are
they
who
give
hearing
to
the
word
of
God
and
keep
it.
\VS{29}And
when
a
great
number
of
people
came
together
to
him,
he
said,
This
generation
is
an
evil
generation:
it
is
looking
for
a
sign
and
no
sign
will
be
given
to
it
but
the
sign
of
Jonah.
\VS{30}For
even
as
Jonah
became
a
sign
to
the
Ninevites,
so
will
the
Son
of
man
be
to
this
generation.
\VS{31}The
queen
of
the
South
will
come
up
on
the day
of judging
and
give
her decision
against
the
men
of
this
generation:
for
she
came
from
the
ends
of
the
earth
to
give ear
to
the
wisdom
of
Solomon;
and
now
something
greater
than
Solomon
is
here.
\VS{32}The
men
of
Nineveh
will come
up
in
the day
of judging
and give
their decision
against
this
generation:
for
they
were turned
away
from
their sins
at
the
preaching
of
Jonah;
but
now
something
greater
than
Jonah
is
here.
\VS{33}No
man,
when
the
light
has been lighted,
puts
it
in
a secret
place,
or
under
a vessel,
but
on
its table,
so
that
those
who
come
in
may
see
the
light.
\VS{34}The
light
of
the
body
is
the
eye:
when
your
eye
is true,
all
your
body
is
full
of
light;
but
when
it
is
evil,
your
body
is
dark.
\VS{35}So take care
that
the
light
which
is
in
you
is
not dark.
\VS{36}If,
then,
all
your
body
is
light,
with
no
part
of
it
dark,
it
will
be
completely
full
of
light,
as
when
a flame
with
its
bright shining gives
you
light.
\VS{37}Now,
while
he
was
talking,
a
Pharisee
made
a
request
that
he
would
come
to
a meal
with
him;
and
he
went
in
and
took
his seat
at
the meal.
\VS{38}And
when
the
Pharisee
saw
it,
he
was
surprised
because
he came
to
the
meal
without
first washing himself.
\VS{39}And
the
Lord
said
to
him,
You
Pharisees
make
the
outside
of
the
cup
and
the plate
clean;
but
inside
you
are thieves
and
full
of
evil.
\VS{40}O
you
foolish
ones!
did
not
he
who
made
the
outside
in
the
same way
make
the
inside?
\VS{41}But
if
you
give
to
the poor such
things
as
you
are able,
then
all
things
are
clean
to
you.
\VS{42}But
a curse
is
on
you,
Pharisees!
for
you
make
men
give
a tenth
of
every sort
of plant,
and
give
no thought
to right
and
the
love
of
God;
but
it
is right
for
you
to
do
these
things,
and
not let
the
others
be undone.
\VS{43}A curse
is
on
you,
Pharisees!
for
your desires
are
for
the most important
seats
in
the
Synagogues
and
for
words
of respect
said
to
you
in
the market-place.
\VS{44}A curse
is
on
you!
for
you
are
like
the resting-places
of dead
men,
which
are
not
seen,
and
men go
walking
over
them
without knowledge
of
it.
\VS{45}And
one
of
the
teachers
of
the
law,
answering,
said
to
him, Master,
in
saying
this,
you
give
a bad name
to
us
as
to
them.
\VS{46}And
he
said,
A curse
is
on
you, teachers
of
the
law!
for
while
other
men
are crushed under
the weight
of
the rules
you
make
for
them,
you
yourselves
do
not put
so much
as
one
finger
to
them.
\VS{47}A curse
is
on
you!
for
you make resting-places
for
the bodies
of
the
prophets,
but
your
fathers
put
them
to
death.
\VS{48}So
you
are
witnesses
and
give
approval
to
the
work
of
your
fathers;
for
they
put
them
to
death
and
you make
their last resting-places.
\VS{49}For
this
reason
the
wisdom
of
God
has
said,
I
will
send
them
prophets
and teachers,
and
to
some
of
them
they
will
give
death
and cruel pains;
\VS{50}So
that punishment
may come
on
this
generation
for
the
blood
of
all
the
prophets
which
was given
from
the earliest days;
\VS{51}From
the
blood
of
Abel
to
the
blood
of Zachariah,
who
was
put
to
death
between
the
altar
and
the Temple.
Yes,
I
say
to
you,
It
will come
on
this
generation.
\VS{52}A curse
is
on
you, teachers
of
the
law!
for
you
have
taken
away
the
key
of
knowledge:
you
did
not
go
in
yourselves,
and
you got
in
the
way
of
those
who
were
going
in.
\VS{53}And
when
he
had
come
out
of
that place,
the
scribes
and
the
Pharisees
came round
him angrily, questioning
him
about
more
things;
\VS{54}And watching
him,
for a chance
to get
something
from
his
words
which
might
be used
against
him.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At
that
time,
when
thousands
of
the
people
had
come
together,
in
such
numbers
that
they
were crushing
one
another,
he
said
first
to
his
disciples,
Have nothing
to
do
with
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees,
which
is deceit.
\VS{2}But
nothing
is
covered up,
which
will
not
come
to light,
or
secret,
which
will
not
be
made clear.
\VS{3}So,
whatever
you
have
said
in
the
dark,
will
come
to men's
hearing
in
the
light,
and
what
you
have
said secretly
inside
the house,
will
be
made public
from
the house-tops.
\VS{4}And
I
say
to
you,
my
friends,
Have
no
fear
of
those
who
may
put
the
body
to
death,
and
are
able
to
do
no more
than
that.
\VS{5}But
I
will make clear
to
you
of
whom
you
are
to
be
in
fear:
of
him
who
after
death
has
power
to send
you
to
hell;
yes, truly
I
say,
Have
fear
of
him.
\VS{6}Are
not
five
sparrows given
in exchange
for
two farthings?
and
God
has every
one
of
them
in
mind.
\VS{7}But
even
the
hairs
of
your
head
are
numbered.
Have
no
fear:
you
are
of
more value
than
a flock
of
sparrows.
\VS{8}And
I
say
to
you
that
to
everyone
who
gives witness
to
me
before
men,
the
Son
of
man
will
give witness
before
the
angels
of
God.
\VS{9}But if
anyone says
before
men
that
he
has no knowledge
of
me,
I
will
say
that
I
have no knowledge
of
him
before
the
angels
of
God.
\VS{10}And
if
anyone
says
a
word
against
the
Son
of
man,
he
will
have forgiveness:
but
for
him
who
says
evil
words
against
the
Holy
Spirit,
there
will
be
no forgiveness.
\VS{11}And
when
they take
you
before
the
Synagogues
and
the
authorities
and
the
rulers, take
no
thought
about
what answers
you
will
give,
or
what
you
will
say:
\VS{12}For
the
Holy
Spirit
will
make clear
to
you
in
that
very
hour
what
to
say.
\VS{13}And
one
of
the
people
said
to
him, Master,
give
an order
to
my
brother
to make division
of
the heritage
with
me.
\VS{14}But
he
said,
Man,
who
made
me
a
judge
or
a maker
of decisions
for
you?
\VS{15}And
he
said
to
them, Take care
to
keep
yourselves free
from
the desire
for
property;
for
a man's
life
is
not
made up
of
the
number
of
things
which
he
has.
\VS{16}And
he
said
to
them,
in
a story,
The
land
of
a
certain
man
of great wealth
was
very fertile:
\VS{17}And
he
said
to
himself,
What
is
to
be
done?
for
I
have
no
place
in
which
to
put
all
my
fruit.
\VS{18}And
he
said,
This
I
will
do:
I
will
take
down
my store-houses
and
make
greater
ones,
and
there
I
will
put
all
my grain
and
my
goods.
\VS{19}And
I
will
say
to
my
soul,
Soul,
you
have
a
great amount
of
goods
in store,
enough
for
a
number
of
years;
be
at
rest,
take
food
and wine
and
be happy.
\VS{20}But
God
said
to
him,
You
foolish
one,
tonight
I
will take
your
soul
from
you,
and
who
then
will
be
the owner
of
all
the
things
which
you
have got together?
\VS{21}So
that
is
what
comes
to
the
man
who gets wealth
for
himself,
and
has
not wealth
in
the eyes
of
God.
\VS{22}And
he
said
to
his
disciples,
For
this
reason
I
say
to
you, Take
no
thought
for
your
life,
about
what
food
you
will take,
or
for
your
body,
how
it
may
be clothed.
\VS{23}Is
not
life
more
than
food,
and
the
body
than its
clothing?
\VS{24}Give thought
to
the
ravens;
they
do
not put seeds
into
the earth,
or get
together grain;
they
have
no store-houses
or buildings;
and
God gives
them
their food:
of
how
much
greater value
are
you
than
the
birds!
\VS{25}And
which
of
you
by taking thought
is
able
to make
himself
any taller?
\VS{26}If,
then,
you
are
not
able
to
do
even
that
which
is
least,
why
are
you troubled
about
the
rest?
\VS{27}Give
thought
to
the flowers:
they
do
no
work,
they make
no thread;
and still
I
say
to
you,
Even
Solomon,
in
all
his
glory,
was
not
clothed
like
one
of
these.
\VS{28}But
if
God gives
such clothing
to
the
grass
in
the
field,
which
today
is living,
and
tomorrow
will
be burned
in
the oven,
how
much
more
will
he give clothing
to
you, O men
of little faith?
\VS{29}And
do
not give overmuch thought
to
your
food
and
drink,
and let
not
your
mind
be full
of doubts.
\VS{30}For
the
nations
of
the
world go
in search
of
all
these
things:
but
your
Father
has knowledge
that
you
have
need
of
them.
\VS{31}But let
your chief care
be
for
his
kingdom,
and
these
other
things
will
be
given
to
you
in addition.
\VS{32}Have
no
fear,
little
flock,
for
it
is
your Father's
good
pleasure
to
give
you
the
kingdom.
\VS{33}Give
what
property
you
have
in exchange
for
money,
and
give
the
money
to
the poor;
make
for
yourselves money-bags
which
will
not get
old, wealth stored
up
in
heaven
which
will
be
yours
for ever,
where
thieves
will
not
come
nor worms
put
it
to destruction.
\VS{34}For
where
your wealth
is,
there
will
your
heart
be.
\VS{35}Be ready,
dressed
as
for
a journey,
with
your lights
burning.
\VS{36}And
be
like
men
who
are
looking
for
their
lord,
when
he
comes back
from
the bride-feast;
so
that
when
he
comes
to
the door,
it
will
be
open
to
him
quickly.
\VS{37}Happy
are
those
servants
who
are
watching
when
the
lord
comes;
truly
I
say
to
you,
he
will
make
himself
their
servant
and, placing
them
at
the table,
he
will
come out
and
give
them food.
\VS{38}And
if
he
comes
in
the
second division
of
the
night
or
in
the
third,
and
they
are watching
for
him,
happy
are
those servants.
\VS{39}But
be certain
of
this,
that
if
the master
of
the
house
had
had knowledge
of
the
time
when
the
thief
was
coming,
he
would
have
been watching,
and
would
not
have
let
his
house
be
broken
into.
\VS{40}So
be
ready:
for
the
Son
of
man
is
coming
at
a
time
when
you
are
not looking
for
him.
\VS{41}And
Peter
said
to
him,
Lord,
are
these
words
said
to
us
only,
or
to
all
men?
\VS{42}And
the
Lord
said,
Who
then
is
the
wise
and responsible servant
whom
his
lord
will
put
in control
of
his family,
to
give
them
their food
at
the
right
time?
\VS{43}Happy
is
that
servant
who,
when
his
lord
comes,
is
doing
so.
\VS{44}Truly
I
say
to
you,
he
will
put
him
in control
of
all
his goods.
\VS{45}But
if
that
servant
says
to
himself,
My
lord
is
a
long
time
coming;
and goes
about giving blows
to
the men-servants
and
the women-servants, feasting
and taking overmuch wine;
\VS{46}The
lord
of
that
servant
will
come
at
a
time
when
he
is
not
looking
for
him,
and
at
an
hour
when
he
is
not ready
for
him,
and
he
will
have
him
cut
in two
and
will give
him
his
part
in
the fate
of
those
who
have
no
faith;
\VS{47}And
the
servant
who
had knowledge
of
his lord's
desires
and
was
not
ready
for
him
and
did
not
do
as
he
was ordered,
will
be given
a
great
number
of blows;
\VS{48}But
he
who,
without knowledge,
did
things
for
which punishment
is
given,
will get
only
a
small
number
of
blows.
The
man
to
whom
much
is
given,
will
have
to
give
much;
if
much
is
given
into
his care,
of
him
more
will
be requested.
\VS{49}I
came
to send
a
fire
on
the
earth,
and
it
may
even
now
have
been lighted.
\VS{50}But
there
is
a
baptism
which
I
have
to
undergo;
and
how
am
I
kept back till
it
is complete!
\VS{51}Is
it
your opinion
that
I
have
come
to
give
peace
on
earth?
I
say
to
you,
No,
but
division:
\VS{52}For
from
this
time,
a
family
of
five
in
one
house
will
be
on opposite sides,
three
against
two
and
two
against
three.
\VS{53}They
will
be
at war,
the
father
against
his
son,
and
the
son
against
his
father;
mother
against
daughter,
and
daughter
against
mother;
mother-in-law
against
daughter-in-law,
and
daughter-in-law
against
mother-in-law.
\VS{54}Then
he
said
to
the
people,
When
you
see
a
cloud
coming
up
in
the
west, straight away
you
say,
There
will
be rain;
and
so
it
is.
\VS{55}And
when
you see
a
south
wind
blowing,
you
say,
There
will
be
heat;
and
so
it
is.
\VS{56}O false ones!
the
face
of
the
earth
and
the
heaven
is clear
to
you;
how
is
it
that
the signs
of
these
times
are
not
as clear
to
you?
\VS{57}And
why
are
you,
in
your hearts, unable
to
be
judges
of
what
is
right?
\VS{58}For
if
anyone
has
a
cause
at
law
against
you,
and
you
are
going
with
him
before
the
ruler,
make
an attempt,
on
the
way,
to come
to
an agreement
with
him,
for
if
you
do
not,
he
may take
you
before
the
judge
and
the
judge
will
give
you
up
to
the police,
and
they
will
put
you
in
prison.
\VS{59}I
say
to
you,
You
will
not
come
out
of
it till
you
have
made payment
to
the
very
last farthing.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
some
people
who
were
there
at
that
time, gave
him
an account
of
how
the
blood
of
some Galilaeans
had
been
mixed
by
Pilate
with
their offerings.
\VS{2}And
he,
in
answer,
said
to
them,
Are
you
of
the opinion
that
these Galilaeans
were worse
than
all
other Galilaeans,
because
these
things
were
done
to
them?
\VS{3}I
say
to
you,
It
is
not
so:
but
if
your hearts
are
not changed,
you
will
all come
to
the
same
end.
\VS{4}Or
those eighteen
men
who
were crushed
by
the
fall
of
the
tower
of
Siloam,
were
they worse
than
all
the
other
men
living
in
Jerusalem?
\VS{5}I
say
to
you,
It
is
not
so:
but
if
your hearts
are
not changed,
you
will
all come
to an
end
in
the
same
way.
\VS{6}And
he
made
up
this story
for
them:
A
certain
man
had
a fig-tree
in
his garden,
and
he
came
to
get
fruit
from
it,
and
there
was
no
fruit.
\VS{7}And
he
said
to
the gardener,
See,
for
three
years
I
have
been
looking
for
fruit
from
this
tree,
and
I
have
not
had
any:
let
it
be
cut
down;
why
is
it taking
up space?
\VS{8}And
he
said,
Lord,
let
it
be
for
this
year,
and
I
will
have
the earth turned up round
it,
and
put animal waste
on
it,
to make
it fertile:
\VS{9}And
if,
after
that,
it
has
fruit,
it
is
well;
if
not, let
it
be
cut
down.
\VS{10}And
he
was
teaching
in
one
of
the
Synagogues
on
the
Sabbath.
\VS{11}And
there
was
a
woman
who
had
had
a disease
for eighteen
years;
she
was
bent,
and
was
not
able
to
make herself straight.
\VS{12}And
when
Jesus
saw
her,
he
said
to
her,
Woman,
you
are
made
free
from
your disease.
\VS{13}And
he
put
his
hands
on
her,
and
she
was
made straight,
and
gave
praise
to
God.
\VS{14}And
the ruler
of
the
Synagogue
was angry
because
Jesus
had
made
her
well
on
the
Sabbath,
and
he
said
to
the
people,
There
are
six
days
in
which
men
may
do
work:
so
come
on
those
days
to
be
made
well,
and
not
on
the
Sabbath.
\VS{15}But
the
Lord
gave
him
an
answer
and
said, O
you false
men!
do
you
not,
every
one
of
you,
on
the
Sabbath,
let
loose
his
ox
and
his ass
and
take
it
to
the
water?
\VS{16}And
is
it
not right
for
this
daughter
of
Abraham,
who
has
been
in
the power
of
Satan
for eighteen
years,
to
be made
free
on
the
Sabbath?
\VS{17}And
when
he
said
these
things,
those
who
were
against
him
were shamed,
and
all
the
people
were
full
of
joy
because
of
the
great
things
which
were
done
by
him.
\VS{18}Then
he
said,
What
is
the
kingdom
of
God
like?
what comparison
may
I make
of
it?
\VS{19}It
is
like
a
grain
of
mustard
seed
which
a
man
took
and
put
in
his
garden,
and
it
became
a
tree,
and
the
birds
of
heaven
made
their resting-places
in
its
branches.
\VS{20}And
again
he
said,
What
is
the
kingdom
of
God
like?
\VS{21}It
is
like
leaven,
which
a
woman
put
into
three
measures
of meal,
and
it
was
all
leavened.
\VS{22}And
he went
on
his
way,
through
towns
and country places,
teaching
and journeying
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{23}And
someone
said
to
him,
Lord,
will
only
a
small
number
have
salvation?
And
he
said
to
them,
\VS{24}Do
your best
to
go
in
by
the
narrow
door,
for
I
say
to
you,
A
number
will
make
the attempt
to
go
in,
but
will
not
be
able
to
do
so.
\VS{25}When
the
master
of
the
house
has
got
up,
and
the
door
has
been shut,
and
you,
still
outside,
give blows
on
the
door,
saying,
Lord,
let
us
in;
he
will
make
answer
and
say,
I
have
no knowledge
of
where
you
come
from.
\VS{26}Then
you
will
say,
We
have taken
food
and
drink
with
you,
and
you
were
teaching
in
our
streets.
\VS{27}But
he
will
say, Truly,
I
have
no knowledge
of
you
or
where
you
come
from;
go
away
from
me,
you
workers
of
evil.
\VS{28}There
will
be
weeping
and cries
of sorrow
when
you
see
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob,
and
all
the
prophets,
in
the
kingdom
of
God,
but
you
yourselves
are shut
outside.
\VS{29}And
they
will
come
from
the
east
and
from
the
west,
from
the
north
and
from
the
south,
and
take
their places
in
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{30}And
the
last
will
be
first,
and
the
first
will
be
last.
\VS{31}At
that
time,
certain
Pharisees
came
to
him
and
said,
Go
away
from
this
place,
because Herod's
purpose
is
to
put
you
to
death.
\VS{32}And
he
said,
Go
and
say
to
that
fox,
I
send
out evil spirits
and
do works
of mercy
today
and
tomorrow,
and
on
the
third
day
my work
will
be
complete.
\VS{33}But
I
have
to
go
on
my
way
today
and
tomorrow
and
the third
day,
for
it
is
not right
for
a
prophet
to come
to
his
death
outside
Jerusalem.
\VS{34}O
Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, putting
to
death
the
prophets,
and
stoning
those
who
were
sent
to
her!
again
and
again
would
I
have taken
your
children
to
myself,
as
a bird takes
her young ones
under
her
wings,
but
you
would
not!
\VS{35}Now
see,
your
house
is waste,
and
I
say
to
you,
You
will
not
see
me
again till
you
say,
A
blessing
on
him
who
comes
in
the
name
of
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
about
that
when
he
went
into
the
house
of
one
of
the chief
Pharisees
on
the
Sabbath,
to
have
a
meal,
they
were
watching
him.
\VS{2}And
a
certain
man
was
there
who
had
a disease.
\VS{3}And
Jesus,
answering,
said
to
the scribes
and
Pharisees,
Is
it right
to
make
people
well
on
the
Sabbath
or
not?
\VS{4}But
they
said nothing.
And
he made
him
well
and
sent
him
away.
\VS{5}And
he
said
to
them,
Which
of
you,
whose
ox
or ass
has got
into
a water-hole,
will
not straight away get
him
out
on
the
Sabbath?
\VS{6}And
they
had
no answer
to
that question.
\VS{7}And
he gave teaching
in
the form
of
a story
to
the
guests
who came
to
the feast,
when
he saw
how
they took
the best seats;
saying
to
them,
\VS{8}When
you get
a request
to
come
to
a
feast,
do
not
take
the best seat,
for
a
more important
man
than
you
may
be coming,
\VS{9}And
then
the giver
of
the feast
will
come
to
you
and
say,
Give
your
place
to
this
man;
and
you,
with
shame,
will
have
to take
the lowest seat.
\VS{10}But
when
you
come,
go
and take
the lowest seat,
so
that
when
the giver
of
the feast
comes,
he
may
say
to
you,
Friend,
come
up
higher;
and
then
you
will
have honour
in
the eyes
of
all
the
others
who
are
there.
\VS{11}For
every man
who gives
himself
a high place
will
be put down,
but
he
who takes
a
low place
will
be
lifted up.
\VS{12}And
he
said
to
the master
of
the house,
When
you
give
a feast,
do
not send
for
your
friends
and
your
brothers
and
your family
or
your neighbours
who
have wealth,
for
they
may
give
a feast
for
you,
and
so
you
will
get
a reward.
\VS{13}But
when
you
give
a feast, send
for
the
poor
and
the
blind
and those who are broken
in body:
\VS{14}And
you
will
have
a blessing,
because
they
will
not
be
able
to give
you
any payment,
and
you
will
get
your reward
when
the
upright
come
back
from
the dead.
\VS{15}And,
hearing
these
words,
one
of
those
who
were
at
table
with
him
said
to
him,
Happy
is
the
man
who
will
be
a guest
in
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{16}And
he
said
to
them,
A
certain
man
gave
a
great feast,
and sent word
of
it
to
a
number
of
people.
\VS{17}And
when
the
time
had
come,
he
sent
his
servants
to
say
to
them,
Come,
for
all
things
are
now
ready.
\VS{18}And
they
all gave reasons why
they
were
not
able
to
come.
The
first
said
to
him,
I
have
got
a new
field,
and
it
is
necessary
for
me
to
go
and
see
it:
I
am
full
of regret
that
I
am unable
to
come.
\VS{19}And
another
said,
I
have got
some cattle,
and
I
am
going
to
make
a
test
of
them:
I
am
full
of regret
that
I
am unable
to come.
\VS{20}And
another
said,
I
have
been
married,
and
so
I
am
not
able
to
come.
\VS{21}And
the
servant
came
back
and gave
his
master
an account
of
these
things.
Then
the
master
of
the
house
was
angry
and
said
to
the
servant,
Go
out
quickly
into
the
streets
of
the
town
and
get
the
poor,
the
blind,
and
those
who
are broken
in
body.
\VS{22}And
the
servant
said,
Lord,
your orders
have
been
done,
and
still
there
is
room.
\VS{23}And
the
lord
said
to
the
servant,
Go
out
into
the
roads
and
the fields,
and make
them
come
in,
so
that
my
house
may
be full.
\VS{24}For
I
say
to
you
that
not
one
of
those
who
were requested
to come
will
have
a
taste
of
my feast.
\VS{25}Now
a
great
number
of
people went
with
him.
\VS{26}And turning round,
he
said
to
them,
If
any
man
comes
to
me,
and
has
not
hate
for
his
father
and
mother
and
wife
and
children
and
brothers
and
sisters,
and
even
for
his
life,
he
may
not
be
my
disciple.
\VS{27}Whoever
does
not take
up
his
cross
and
come
after
me
may
not
be
my
disciple.
\VS{28}For
which
of
you,
desiring
to put
up
a
tower,
does
not
first give much thought
to
the price,
if
he
will
have enough
to make
it
complete?
\VS{29}For fear
that
if
he makes
a
start
and
is
not
able
to go
on
with
it
to
the end,
all
who
see
it
will
be laughing
at
him,
\VS{30}And
saying,
This
man
made
a
start
at
building
and
is
not
able
to
make
it complete.
\VS{31}Or
what
king,
going
to
war
with
another
king,
will
not
first take thought
if
he
will
be
strong
enough,
with
ten
thousand
men,
to keep off
him
who
comes
against
him
with
twenty
thousand?
\VS{32}Or
while
the
other
is
still
a great distance
away,
he
sends representatives
requesting conditions
of
peace.
\VS{33}And
so
whoever
is
not
ready
to
give
up
all
he
has
may
not
be
my
disciple.
\VS{34}For
salt
is
good,
but
if
the taste goes
from
it,
of
what use
is
it?
\VS{35}It
is
no
good
for
the
land
or
for
the
place
of waste;
no
one
has
a
use
for
it.
He
who
has
ears,
let
him
give
ear.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
all
the tax-farmers
and
sinners
came
near
to
give ear
to
him.
\VS{2}And
the
Pharisees
and
scribes
were angry,
saying,
This
man
gives approval
to
sinners,
and takes food
with
them.
\VS{3}And
he
made
a story
for
them,
saying,
\VS{4}What
man
of
you,
having
a
hundred
sheep,
if
one
of
them gets loose
and
goes
away,
will
not let
the
ninety-nine
be
in
the waste land
by
themselves,
and
go
after
the wandering
one, till
he sees
where
it
is?
\VS{5}And
when
he
has got
it
again,
he takes
it
in
his arms
with
joy.
\VS{6}And
when
he gets
back
to
his
house,
he sends
for
his neighbours
and
friends,
saying
to
them,
Be glad
with
me,
for
I
have got
back
my
sheep
which
had gone
away.
\VS{7}I
say
to
you
that even
so
there
will
be
more
joy
in
heaven
when
one
sinner
is turned away
from
his wrongdoing,
than
for
ninety-nine
good
men,
who
have
no
need
of
a change
of heart.
\VS{8}Or
what
woman,
having
ten bits
of
silver,
if
one bit
has gone
from
her hands,
will
not
get
a
light,
and go through
her
house,
searching
with care till
she sees
it?
\VS{9}And
when
she
has
it
again,
she gets
her
friends
and neighbours
together,
saying,
Be glad
with
me,
for
I
have got back
the bit
of
silver
which
had gone
from
me.
\VS{10}Even
so,
I
say
to
you,
There
is
joy
among
the
angels
of
God,
when
one
sinner
is
turned away
from
his wrongdoing.
\VS{11}And
he
said,
A
certain
man
had
two
sons:
\VS{12}And
the
younger
of
them
said
to
his
father,
Father,
give
me
that
part
of
your property
which
will
be
mine.
And
he
made division
of
his
goods
between
them.
\VS{13}And
not
long
after,
the
younger
son got
together
everything
which
was
his
and took
a
journey
into
a far-away
country,
and
there
all
his
money
went
in foolish
living.
\VS{14}And
when
everything
was gone,
there
was no food
to
be
had
in
that
country,
and
he
was
in
need.
\VS{15}And
he
went
and
put
himself
into
the hands
of
one
of
the
people
of
that
country,
and
he
sent
him
into
his
fields
to give
the
pigs
their food.
\VS{16}And
so great
was
his need
that
he
would
have
been glad
to take
the pigs' food,
and
no
one
gave
him
anything.
\VS{17}But
when
he
came
to
his
senses,
he
said,
What numbers
of my father's servants
have
bread
enough,
and
more,
while
I
am
near
to
death
here through need
of
food!
\VS{18}I
will
get
up
and
go
to
my
father,
and
will
say
to
him,
Father,
I
have done wrong,
against
heaven
and
in
your eyes:
\VS{19}I
am
no
longer
good enough
to
be
named
your
son:
make
me
like
one
of
your servants.
\VS{20}And
he
got
up
and
went
to
his
father.
But
while
he
was
still
far
away,
his
father
saw
him
and
was
moved
with
pity
for
him
and
went quickly
and took
him
in
his arms
and gave
him
a
kiss.
\VS{21}And
his
son
said
to
him,
Father,
I
have done wrong,
against
heaven
and
in
your eyes:
I
am
no
longer
good enough
to
be
named
your
son.
\VS{22}But
the
father
said
to
his
servants, Get
out
the
first
robe
quickly,
and
put
it
on
him,
and
put
a
ring
on
his
hand
and
shoes
on
his
feet:
\VS{23}And get
the fat young ox
and put
it
to death,
and let us
have
a feast,
and
be
glad.
\VS{24}For
this,
my
son,
who
was
dead,
is
living
again;
he
had gone
away
from
me,
and
has
come back.
And
they
were full
of joy.
\VS{25}Now
the
older
son
was
in
the
field:
and
when
he
came
near
the
house,
the sounds
of
music
and
dancing
came
to
his
ears.
\VS{26}And
he sent
for
one
of
the
servants, questioning
him
about
what
it
might
be.
\VS{27}And
he
said
to
him,
Your
brother
has
come;
and
your
father
has
had
the young ox put
to death
because
he
has
come
back safely.
\VS{28}But
he
was
angry
and
would
not
go
in;
and
his
father
came
out
and made
a request
to
him
to
come
in.
\VS{29}But
he
made
answer
and
said
to
his
father,
See,
all
these
years
I
have
been
your servant, doing
your
orders
in everything:
and
you
never
gave
me
even
a
young
goat
so
that
I
might
have
a feast
with
my
friends:
\VS{30}But
when
this
your
son
came,
who
has been wasting
your property
with bad
women,
you put
to death
the fat young ox
for
him.
\VS{31}And
he
said
to
him,
Son,
you
are
with
me
at
all
times,
and
all
I
have
is
yours.
\VS{32}But
it
was right
to
be
glad
and
to
have
a feast;
for
this
your
brother,
who
was
dead,
is
living
again;
he
had gone
away
and
has
come back.

\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
another time
he
said
to
the
disciples,
There
was
a
certain
man
of great wealth
who
had
a servant;
and
it
was
said
to
him
that
this servant
was wasting
his goods.
\VS{2}And
he sent
for
him
and
said,
What
is
this
which
is
said
about
you?
give
me
an
account
of
all
you
have done,
for
you
will
no
longer
be
the
manager
of
my property.
\VS{3}And
the servant
said
to
himself,
What
am
I
to
do
now
that
my
lord
takes
away
my position?
I
have
not
enough strength
for
working
in
the fields,
and
I
would
be shamed
if
I
made requests
for money
from
people
in
the streets.
\VS{4}I
have
come
to
a decision
what
to
do,
so
that
when
I
am
put
out
of
my position
they
will
take
me
into
their houses.
\VS{5}And sending
for
every
one
who
was
in debt
to
his
lord
he
said
to
the
first,
What
is
the amount
of
your debt
to
my
lord?
\VS{6}And
he
said,
A
hundred
measures
of
oil.
And
he
said,
Take
your account straight away
and put
down
fifty.
\VS{7}Then
he
said
to
another,
What
is
the amount
of
your debt?
And
he
said,
A
hundred
measures
of
grain.
And
he
said
to
him,
Take
your account
and put
down
eighty.
\VS{8}And
his
lord
was pleased
with
the false servant,
because
he
had
been
wise;
for
the
sons
of
this
world
are wiser
in
relation
to
their
generation
than
the
sons
of
light.
\VS{9}And
I
say
to
you,
Make
friends
for
yourselves
through
the
wealth
of
this life,
so
that
when
it
comes
to
an
end,
you
may
be
taken
into
the
eternal resting-places.
\VS{10}He
who
is true
in
a
little,
is true
in
much;
he
who
is false
in
small
things,
is false
in
great.
\VS{11}If,
then,
you
have
not
been
true
in
your use
of
the
wealth
of
this life,
who
will
give
into
your care
the
true
wealth?
\VS{12}And
if
you
have
not
been true
in
your care
of
the property
of
other
people,
who
will
give
you
that
which
is
yours?
\VS{13}No
man
may
be
a
servant
to
two
masters:
for
he
will
have
hate
for
the
one
and
love
for
the
other;
or
he
will keep
to
the
one
and
have
no
respect
for
the
other.
You
may
not
be servants
of
God
and
of
wealth.
\VS{14}And
the
Pharisees,
who
had
a
great love
of
money,
hearing
these
things,
were making sport
of
him.
\VS{15}And
he
said,
You
take care
to seem right
in
the eyes
of
men,
but
God sees
your
hearts:
and
those
things
which
are important
in
the opinion
of
men,
are evil
in
the eyes
of
God.
\VS{16}The
law
and
the
prophets
were till
John:
but
then came
the
preaching
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
everyone makes
his
way
into
it
by force.
\VS{17}But
heaven
and
earth
will
come
to
an end
before
the
smallest
letter
of
the
law
may
be dropped
out.
\VS{18}Everyone
who puts
away
his
wife
and takes
another,
is
a false
husband:
and
he
who
is
married
to
a
woman
whose
husband
has put
her
away,
is no true
husband
to
her.
\VS{19}Now
there
was
a
certain
man
of great wealth,
who
was
dressed
in fair clothing
of
purple
and delicate
linen,
and
was shining
and
glad
every
day.
\VS{20}And
a
certain
poor
man,
named
Lazarus,
was stretched
out
at
his door, full
of wounds,
\VS{21}Desiring
the broken bits
of
food
which
came
from
the
table
of
the
man
of wealth;
and
even
the
dogs
came
and put
their tongues
on
his wounds.
\VS{22}And
in time
the
poor
man
came
to
his
end,
and
angels
took
him
to Abraham's breast.
And
the
man
of wealth
came
to
his
end,
and
was
put
in
the earth.
\VS{23}And
in
hell,
being
in
great pain,
lifting
up
his
eyes
he
saw
Abraham,
far
away,
and
Lazarus
on
his breast.
\VS{24}And
he gave
a cry
and
said,
Father
Abraham,
have
mercy
on
me
and
send
Lazarus,
so
that
he
may
put
the
end
of
his
finger
in
water
and
put
it
on
my
tongue,
for
I
am cruelly burning
in
this
flame.
\VS{25}But
Abraham
said, Keep
in
mind,
my
son,
that
when
you
were
living,
you
had
your
good
things,
while
Lazarus
had
evil
things:
but
now,
he
is
comforted
and
you
are
in pain.
\VS{26}And
in addition,
there
is
a deep division
fixed
between
us
and
you,
so
that
those
who
might go
from
here
to
you
are
not
able
to
do
so,
and
no
one
may
come
from
you
to
us.
\VS{27}And
he
said,
Father,
it
is
my
request
that
you
will
send
him
to
my father's
house;
\VS{28}For
I
have
five
brothers;
and
let
him
give
them
an account
of
these
things,
so
that
they
may
not
come
to
this
place
of pain.
\VS{29}But
Abraham
said,
They
have
Moses
and
the
prophets;
let
them
give ear
to
what
they
say.
\VS{30}And
he
said,
No,
father
Abraham,
but
if
someone
went
to
them
from
the
dead,
their hearts
would
be changed.
\VS{31}And
he
said
to
him,
If
they
will
not
give attention
to
Moses
and
the
prophets,
they
will
not
be moved
even
if
someone
comes back
from
the
dead.

\par }\Chap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
said
to
his
disciples,
It
is
necessary
for causes
of trouble
to
come
about,
but unhappy
is
he
by
whom
they
come.
\VS{2}It
would
be
well
for
him
if
a great
stone
was put round
his
neck
and
he
was dropped
into
the
sea,
before
he made trouble
for any
of
these
little
ones.
\VS{3}Give
attention
to
yourselves:
if
your
brother
does wrong, say
a sharp word
to
him;
and
if
he
has sorrow
for
his
sin,
let
him
have forgiveness.
\VS{4}And
if
he
does
you wrong
seven
times
in
a
day,
and
seven
times
comes
to
you
and
says,
I
have regret
for
what
I
have done;
let
him
have forgiveness.
\VS{5}And
the twelve
said
to
the
Lord, Make
our
faith greater.
\VS{6}And
the
Lord
said,
If
your
faith
was
only
as great
as
a
grain
of
mustard
seed,
you
might
say
to
this
tree,
Be rooted up
and
planted
in
the
sea;
and
it
would
be done.
\VS{7}But
which
of
you,
having
a
servant
who
is ploughing
or
keeping
sheep,
will
say
to
him,
when
he
comes
in
from
the
field,
Come
now
and
be seated
and
have
a meal,
\VS{8}Will
he
not
say,
Get
a meal
for
me,
and
make
yourself
ready
and see
to
my needs till
I
have
had
my
food
and
drink;
and
after
that
you
may
have
yours?
\VS{9}Does
he
give praise
to
the
servant
because
he
did
what
was
ordered?
\VS{10}In
the
same
way,
when
you
have
done
all
the
things
which
are given
you
to
do,
say,
There
is no profit
in
us,
for
we
have
only
done
what
we
were
ordered
to
do.
\VS{11}And
it
came
about
that
when
they
were
on
the
way
to
Jerusalem
he
went
through
Samaria
and
Galilee.
\VS{12}And
when
he
went
into
a
certain small
town
he
came across
ten
men
who
were
lepers,
and
they, keeping
themselves
at
a
distance,
\VS{13}Said,
in loud
voices,
Jesus,
Master,
have
mercy
on
us.
\VS{14}And
when
he
saw
them
he
said,
Go,
and
let
the
priests
see
you.
And,
while
they
were
going,
they
were
made
clean.
\VS{15}And
one
of
them,
when
he
saw
that
he
was clean, turning
back, gave
praise
to
God
in
a
loud
voice;
\VS{16}And,
falling
down
on
his
face
at
the
feet
of
Jesus,
he
gave
the credit
to
him;
and
he
was
a man
of Samaria.
\VS{17}And
Jesus
said,
Were
there
not
ten men
who
were
made
clean?
where
are
the
nine?
\VS{18}Have
not
any
of
them come
back
to
give
glory
to
God,
but
only
this
one
from
a strange land?
\VS{19}And
he
said
to
him,
Get
up,
and
go
on
your
way;
your
faith
has
made
you
well.
\VS{20}And
when
the
Pharisees put
questions
to
him
about
when
the
kingdom
of
God
would
come,
he gave
them
an
answer
and
said,
The
kingdom
of
God
will
not
come through observation:
\VS{21}And men
will
not
say,
See,
it
is
here!
or,
There!
for
the
kingdom
of
God
is among
you.
\VS{22}And
he
said
to
his
disciples,
The
time
will
come
when
you
will
have
a
great
desire
to
see
one
of
the
days
of
the
Son
of
man,
but
you
will
not
see
it.
\VS{23}And
if
they
say
to
you,
See,
it
is
there!
or,
It
is
here!
do
not
go
away,
or
go
after
them.
\VS{24}For
as
in
a thunderstorm
the bright
light
is seen
from
one
end
of
the
sky
to
the
other,
so
will
the
Son
of
man
be
when
his
time
comes.
\VS{25}But
first,
he
will
have
to undergo
much
and
be
put
on
one side
by
this
generation.
\VS{26}And
as
it
was
in
the
days
of
Noah,
so
will
it
be
in
the
day
of
the
Son
of
man.
\VS{27}They
were feasting
and taking wives
and getting
married, till
the
day
of
the overflowing
of
the waters,
when
Noah
went
into
the
ark,
and
they
all
came
to destruction.
\VS{28}In
the
same
way,
in
the
days
of
Lot;
they
were feasting
and trading,
they
were
planting
and
building;
\VS{29}But
on
the
day
when
Lot
went
out
of
Sodom,
fire
came down
from
heaven
and destruction
came
on
them
all.
\VS{30}So
will
it
be
in
the
day
of
the
revelation
of
the
Son
of
man.
\VS{31}On
that
day,
if
anyone
is
on
the
roof
of
the
house,
and
his
goods
are
in
the
house,
let
him
not
go
down
to
take
them
away;
and
let
him
who
is
in
the
field
not
go
back
to
his
house.
\VS{32}Keep
in
mind Lot's
wife.
\VS{33}If
anyone makes
an attempt
to
keep
his
life,
it
will
be taken
from
him,
but
if
anyone
gives up
his
life,
he
will
keep
it.
\VS{34}I
say
to
you,
In
that
night
there
will
be
two
men sleeping
in
one
bed,
and
one
will
be
taken
away
and
the
other
let
go.
\VS{35}Two
women
will
be crushing grain
together;
one
will
be
taken
away
and
the
other
let
go.
\VS{36}[]
\VS{37}And
they,
answering
him,
said,
Where,
Lord?
And
he
said
to
them,
Where
the
body
is,
there
will
the eagles come
together.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
made
a story
for
them,
the point
of
which
was
that
men
were
to go
on making
prayer
and
not get tired;
\VS{2}Saying,
There
was
a
judge
in
a
certain
town,
who
had
no
fear
of
God
or
respect
for
man:
\VS{3}And
there
was
a
widow
in
that
town,
and
she kept
on
coming
to
him
and
saying,
Give
me
my right
against
the
man
who
has done
me wrong.
\VS{4}And
for
a
time
he
would
not:
but
later,
he
said
to
himself,
Though
I
have
no
fear
of
God
or
respect
for
man,
\VS{5}Because
this
widow
is
a
trouble
to
me,
I
will
give
her
her
right;
for
if
not,
I
will
be
completely tired
out
by
her frequent
coming.
\VS{6}And
the
Lord
said,
Give ear
to
the
words
of
the
evil
judge.
\VS{7}And
will
not
God
do right
in
the
cause
of
his saints,
whose cries come
day
and
night
to
his ears,
though
he
is
long
in
doing
it?
\VS{8}I
say
to
you
that
he
will
quickly
do right
in
their
cause.
But
when
the
Son
of
man
comes,
will
there
be
any
faith
on
earth?
\VS{9}And
he
made
this story
for
some
people
who
were
certain
that
they
were
good,
and
had
a low opinion
of
others:
\VS{10}Two
men
went
up
to
the
Temple
for
prayer;
one
a
Pharisee,
and
the
other
a tax-farmer.
\VS{11}The
Pharisee,
taking up
his position,
said
to
himself
these
words:
God,
I
give
you praise
because
I
am
not
like
other
men,
who take
more
than
their right,
who
are evil-doers,
who
are untrue
to
their wives,
or
even
like
this tax-farmer.
\VS{12}Twice
in
the
week
I go without food;
I give
a tenth
of
all
I
have.
\VS{13}The tax-farmer,
on
the
other
hand, keeping
far
away,
and
not
lifting
up
even
his
eyes
to
heaven,
made signs
of grief
and
said,
God,
have mercy
on
me,
a
sinner.
\VS{14}I
say
to
you,
This
man
went
back
to
his
house
with God's approval,
and
not
the
other:
for
everyone
who makes
himself high
will
be
made
low
and
whoever makes
himself
low
will
be
made high.
\VS{15}And
they took
their children
to
him,
so
that
he
might put
his hands
on
them:
but
when
the
disciples
saw
it,
they
said sharp
words
to
them
\VS{16}But
Jesus sent
for
them,
saying,
Let
the
children
come
to
me,
and
do
not
keep
them
away,
for
of
such
is
the
kingdom
of heaven.
\VS{17}Truly
I
say
to
you,
Whoever
does
not put
himself under
the
kingdom
of
God
like
a little
child,
will
not
come
into
it
at
all.
\VS{18}And
a
certain
ruler
put
a
question
to
him,
saying,
Good Master,
what
have
I
to
do
so
that
I
may
have
eternal
life?
\VS{19}And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Why
do
you
say
that
I
am
good?
No
one
is
good,
but
only
God.
\VS{20}You
have knowledge
of
what
the law says:
Do
not
be untrue
to
your wife,
Do
not
put anyone
to
death,
Do
not take
what
is
not
yours,
Do
not
give
false
witness,
Give honour
to
your
father
and
mother.
\VS{21}And
he
said,
All
these
things
I
have done
from
the time
when
I
was
a boy.
\VS{22}And
Jesus,
hearing
it,
said
to
him,
One
thing
you
still
have
need
of;
get
money
for
your goods,
and
give
it away
to
the
poor,
and
you
will
have wealth
in
heaven;
and
come
after
me.
\VS{23}But
at
these
words
he
became
very
sad,
for
he
had great wealth.
\VS{24}And
Jesus, looking
at
him,
said,
How
hard
it
is
for
those
who
have wealth
to
get
into
the
kingdom
of
God!
\VS{25}It
is simpler
for
a
camel
to
go
through
the eye
of
a needle,
than
for
a
man
who
has much money
to
come
into
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{26}And
those
who
were present
said,
Then
who
may
have
salvation?
\VS{27}But
he
said,
Things
which
are
not
possible
with
man
are
possible
with
God.
\VS{28}And
Peter
said,
See,
we
have given up
what
is
ours
to come
after
you.
\VS{29}And
he
said
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
There
is
no
man
who
has given up
house
or
wife
or
brothers
or father
or mother
or
children,
because
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
\VS{30}Who
will
not get
much more
in
this
time,
and
in
the
world
to
come,
eternal
life.
\VS{31}And
he
took
with
him
the
twelve
and
said
to
them,
Now
we
are
going
up
to
Jerusalem,
and
all
the
things
which
were
said
by
the
prophets
will
be done
to
the
Son
of
man.
\VS{32}For
he
will
be
given
up
to
the
Gentiles,
and
will
be made sport
of
and
put
to shame:
\VS{33}And
he
will
be given cruel blows
and
put
to
death,
and
on
the
third
day
he
will come back
to life.
\VS{34}But
they
did
not
take
in
the sense
of
any
of
these
words,
and
what
he
said
was
not clear
to
them,
and
their minds
were
not able
to
see
it.
\VS{35}And
it
came
about
that
when
he
got
near
Jericho,
a
certain
blind
man
was
seated
by
the
side
of
the
road, making requests
for
money
from
those
who
went
by.
\VS{36}And
hearing
the sound
of
a great
number
of
people
going
by,
he said,
What
is
this?
\VS{37}And
they said
to
him,
Jesus
of
Nazareth
is going
by.
\VS{38}And
he
said
in
a loud voice,
Jesus,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me.
\VS{39}And
those
who
were
in
front
made protests
and
said
to
him,
Be
quiet:
but
he
said
all
the
more, O
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me.
\VS{40}And
Jesus, stopping,
gave
orders
that
he
was
to
come
to
him,
and
when
he
came
near,
he
said
to
him,
\VS{41}What
would
you
have
me
do
for
you?
And
he
said,
Lord,
that
I
may
be able
to
see again.
\VS{42}And
Jesus
said,
See
again:
your
faith
has
made
you
well.
\VS{43}And straight away
he
was able
to
see,
and
he went
after
him,
giving
glory
to
God;
and
all
the
people
when
they
saw
it
gave
praise
to
God.

\par }\Chap{19}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
went
into
Jericho,
and
when
he
was
going
through
it,
\VS{2}A
man,
named
Zacchaeus,
who
was
the
chief tax-farmer,
and
a
man
of wealth,
\VS{3}Made
an attempt
to get
a view
of
Jesus,
and
was
not
able
to
do
so,
because
of
the
people,
for
he
was
a
small man.
\VS{4}And
he
went quickly
in
front
of
them
and
got
up
into
a
tree
to
see
him,
for
he
was
going
that
way.
\VS{5}And
when
Jesus
came
to
the
place,
looking
up,
he
said
to
him,
Zacchaeus,
be quick
and
come
down,
for
I
am
coming
to
your
house
today.
\VS{6}And
he
came
down
quickly,
and took
him
into
his house
with
joy.
\VS{7}And
when
they
saw
it,
they
were
all angry,
saying,
He
has
gone
into
the house
of
a
sinner.
\VS{8}And
Zacchaeus, waiting
before
him,
said
to
the
Lord,
See,
Lord,
half
of
my goods
I
give
to
the
poor,
and
if
I
have taken
anything
from
anyone wrongly,
I
give
him
back
four
times
as
much.
\VS{9}And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Today
salvation
has
come
to
this
house,
for
even
he
is
a
son
of
Abraham.
\VS{10}For
the
Son
of
man
came
to make
search
for
those
who
are wandering
from
the way,
and
to
be
their Saviour.
\VS{11}And
while
they
were giving ear
to
these
words,
he
made
another story
for
them,
because
he
was
near
Jerusalem,
and
because
they
were
of
the opinion
that
the
kingdom
of
God
was coming straight away.
\VS{12}So
he
said,
A
certain
man
of
high birth
went
into
a far-away
country
to get
a
kingdom
for
himself,
and
to come
back.
\VS{13}And
he sent
for
ten
of
his
servants
and
gave
them
ten pounds
and
said
to
them,
Do
business
with
this till
I
come.
\VS{14}But
his
people
had
no love
for
him,
and
sent representatives
after
him,
saying,
We
will
not
have
this
man
for
our ruler.
\VS{15}And
when
he
came
back
again, having
got
his
kingdom,
he
gave
orders
for
those
servants
to
whom
he
had
given
the
money
to
come
to
him,
so
that
he
might
have
an account
of
what
business
they
had
done.
\VS{16}And
the
first
came
before him,
saying,
Lord,
your pound
has
made
ten pounds.
\VS{17}And
he
said
to
him,
You
have
done
well, O
good
servant:
because
you
have
done
well
in
a
small
thing
you
will
have
authority
over
ten
towns.
\VS{18}And another
came,
saying,
Your pound
has
made
five pounds.
\VS{19}And
he
said,
You
will
be ruler
over
five
towns.
\VS{20}And
another
came,
saying,
Lord,
here
is
your pound,
which
I
put
away
in
a
cloth;
\VS{21}Because
I
was
in
fear
of
you,
for
you
are
a hard
man:
you
take
up
what
you
have
not
put
down,
and
get
in grain
where
you
have
not
put seed.
\VS{22}He
said
to
him,
By
the
words
of
your
mouth
you
will
be
judged,
you
bad
servant.
You
had knowledge
that
I
am
a hard
man,
taking
up
what
I
have
not
put
down
and getting
in grain
where
I
have
not
put seed;
\VS{23}Why
then
did
you
not
put
my
money
in
a
bank,
so
that
when
I
came
I
would get
it
back
with
interest?
\VS{24}And
he
said
to
the
others
who
were near,
Take
the pound
away
from
him,
and
give
it
to
the man
who
has
ten.
\VS{25}And
they
say
to
him,
Lord,
he
has
ten pounds.
\VS{26}And
I
say
to
you
that
to
everyone
who
has,
more
will
be
given,
but
from
him
who
has
not,
even
what
he
has
will
be
taken
away.
\VS{27}And
as
for
those
who
were
against
me,
who
would
not
have
me
for
their ruler,
let
them
come
here,
and
be put
to death
before
me.
\VS{28}And
when
he
had
said
this,
he
went
on
in
front
of
them,
going
up
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{29}And
it
came
about
that
when
he
got
near Beth-phage
and
Bethany
by
the
mountain
which
is
named
the
Mountain
of
Olives,
he
sent
two
of
the
disciples,
\VS{30}Saying,
Go
into
the little
town
in
front
of
you,
and
on
going
in
you
will see
a young ass fixed
with
a cord,
on
which
no
man
has
ever
been
seated;
let
him
loose
and
take
him.
\VS{31}And
if
anyone
says
to
you,
Why
are
you taking
him?
say,
The
Lord
has
need
of
him.
\VS{32}And
those
whom
he
sent
went
away,
and
it
was
as
he
said.
\VS{33}And
when
they
were getting
the young ass,
the
owners
of
it
said
to
them,
Why
are
you taking
the young ass?
\VS{34}And
they
said,
The
Lord
has
need
of
him.
\VS{35}And
they
took
him
to
Jesus,
and
they
put
their
clothing
on
the ass,
and
Jesus got
on
to
him.
\VS{36}And
while
he
went
on
his
way
they put
their
clothing down
on
the
road
in front
of
him.
\VS{37}And
when
he
came
near
the foot
of
the
Mountain
of
Olives,
all
the
disciples
with
loud
voices gave
praise
to
God
with
joy,
because
of
all
the
great works
which
they
had
seen;
\VS{38}Saying,
A
blessing
on
the
King
who
comes
in
the
name
of
the
Lord;
peace
in
heaven
and
glory
in
the
highest.
\VS{39}And
some
of
the
Pharisees
among
the
people
said
to
him, Master, make
your
disciples
be quiet.
\VS{40}And
he
said
in
answer,
I
say
to
you,
if
these
men keep
quiet,
the
very
stones
will
be
crying
out.
\VS{41}And
when
he got
near
and
saw
the
town,
he
was overcome
with
weeping
for
it,
\VS{42}Saying,
If
you,
even
you,
had knowledge
today,
of
the
things
which
give
peace!
but
you
are
not able
to
see
them.
\VS{43}For
the
time
will
come
when
your attackers
will put
a wall round
you,
and
come
all round
you
and
keep
you
in
on
every
side,
\VS{44}And
will
make
you
level
with
the earth,
and
your
children
with
you;
and
there
will
not
be
one
stone resting
on
another
in
you,
because
you
did
not
see
that
it
was
your day
of mercy.
\VS{45}And
he
went
into
the
Temple
and
put
out
those
who
were trading there,
\VS{46}Saying
to
them,
It
has
been
said,
My
house
is
to
be
a
house
of
prayer,
but
you
have
made
it
a hole
of thieves.
\VS{47}And
every
day
he
was
teaching
in
the
Temple.
But
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
and
the rulers
of
the
people
were attempting
to
put
him
to
death;
\VS{48}But
they
were
not able
to
do
anything,
because
the
people
all
kept near
him, being
greatly interested
in
his
words.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
about
on
one
of
those
days,
when
he
was
teaching
the
people
in
the
Temple
and
preaching
the
good
news,
\VS{2}That
the chief priests
and
the scribes
and
the rulers
of
the
people
came
to
him
and
said,
Make clear
to
us
by
what
authority
you
do
these
things
and
who
gave
you
this
authority.
\VS{3}And
in
answer
he
said
to
them,
I
will put
a
question
to
you,
and
do
you
give
me
an
answer:
\VS{4}The
baptism
of
John,
was
it
from
heaven
or
of
men?
\VS{5}And
they
said
among
themselves,
If
we
say,
From
heaven;
he
will
say,
Why
did
you
not
have
faith
in
him?
\VS{6}But
if
we
say,
Of
men;
we
will
be stoned
by
the
people,
for
they
are certain
that
John
was
a
prophet.
\VS{7}And
they
made
answer
that
they
had
no idea
where
it came
from.
\VS{8}And
Jesus
said,
And
I
will
not
make clear
to
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things.
\VS{9}And
he gave
the
people
this story:
A
man
made
a vine-garden
and gave
the use
of
it
to
some field-workers
and
went
into another country
for
a
long
time.
\VS{10}And
at
the
right
time
he
sent
a
servant
to
the workers
to get
part
of
the
fruit
from
the vines;
but
the workmen
gave
him blows
and
sent
him
away
with nothing.
\VS{11}And
he
sent
another
servant,
and
they gave blows
to
him
in
the
same way,
and
put
shame
on
him,
and
sent
him
away
with nothing.
\VS{12}And
he
sent
a
third,
and
they gave
him wounds
and
put
him
out.
\VS{13}And
the
lord
of
the garden
said,
What
am
I
to
do?
I
will
send
my dearly loved
son;
they
may
give
respect
to
him.
\VS{14}But
when
the workmen
saw
him,
they
said
to
one
another,
This
is
he
who
will
one day
be
the owner
of
the property:
let
us
put
him
to
death
and
the heritage
will
be
ours.
\VS{15}And driving
him
out
of
the garden
they
put
him
to
death.
Now
what
will
the
lord
do
to
these workmen?
\VS{16}He
will
come
and
put
them
to destruction
and
give
the garden
to
others.
And
when
he
said
this,
they
said,
May
it
not
be
so.
\VS{17}But
he,
looking
on
them,
said,
Is
it
not
in
the Writings,
The
stone
which
the
builders
put
on
one side,
the
same
has
become
the
chief
stone
of
the
building?
\VS{18}Everyone
falling
on
that
stone
will
be
broken,
but
the
man
on
whom
the
stone comes
down
will
be crushed
to
dust.
\VS{19}And
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
made attempts
to get
their
hands
on
him
in
that
very
hour;
and
they
were
in
fear
of
the
people,
for
they saw
that
he
had
made up
this story
against
them.
\VS{20}And
they kept watch
on
him,
and
sent
out secret representatives,
who
were acting
the
part
of
good
men,
in
order
that
they
might get
something
from
his
words,
on
account
of
which
they
might
give
him
up
to
the government
and
into
the
power
of
the
ruler.
\VS{21}And
they
put
a
question
to
him,
saying, Master,
we
are certain
that
your
teaching
and
your
words
are right,
and
that
you
have
no respect
for
a man's position,
but
you
are
teaching
the
true
way
of
God:
\VS{22}Is it right
for
us
to
make payment
of
taxes
to
Caesar
or
not?
\VS{23}But
he saw through
their trick
and
said
to
them,
\VS{24}Let
me see
a penny.
Whose
image
and name
are
on
it?
And
they
said, Caesar's.
\VS{25}And
he
said,
Then
give
to
Caesar
the
things
which
are Caesar's,
and
to
God
the
things
which
are God's.
\VS{26}And
they
were
not
able
to get anything
from
these
words
before
the
people:
but
they
were full
of
wonder
at
his
answer,
and
said
nothing.
\VS{27}And
some
of
the
Sadducees
came
to
him,
who
say
that
there
is
no
coming back
from
the dead;
and
they
said
to
him,
\VS{28}Master,
Moses
said
that
if
a man's
brother
comes
to
his
end,
having
a
wife,
but no
children,
his
brother
is
to
take
the
wife,
and
get
a family
for
his
brother.
\VS{29}Now
there
were
seven
brothers,
and
the
first
had
a
wife
and
came
to
his end,
having no children;
\VS{30}And
the
second;
\VS{31}And
the
third
took
her;
and
in
the
same
way,
all
the
seven,
without having
any
children, came
to
their end.
\VS{32}And
last
of
all,
the
woman came
to
her end.
\VS{33}When
they
come back
from
the dead,
whose
wife
will
she
be?
for
all
the
seven
had
her.
\VS{34}And
Jesus
said
to
them,
The
sons
of
this
world
are
married
and
have wives;
\VS{35}But
those
to
whom
is given
the reward
of
the
world
to
come,
and
to
come back
from
the
dead,
have
no wives,
and
are
not
married;
\VS{36}And
death
has
no
more
power over
them,
for
they
are equal
to
the
angels,
and
are
sons
of
God,
being
of
those
who
will
come back
from
the
dead.
\VS{37}But
even
Moses
made
it clear
that
the
dead come back
to life,
saying,
in
the story
of
the burning thorn-tree,
The
Lord,
the
God
of
Abraham,
the
God
of
Isaac,
and
the
God
of
Jacob.
\VS{38}Now
he
is
not
the
God
of
the
dead
but
of
the
living:
for
all
men
are
living
to
him.
\VS{39}And
some
of
the
scribes,
in
answer
to
this,
said, Master,
you
have
said
well.
\VS{40}And
they
had fear
of putting
any
more
questions
to
him.
\VS{41}And
he
said
to
them,
Why
do
they
say
that
the
Christ
is
the
son
of
David?
\VS{42}For
David
himself
says
in
the
book
of
Psalms,
The
Lord
said
to
my
Lord, Take
your seat
at
my
right
hand,
\VS{43}Till
I
put under
your
feet
all
those
who
are against
you.
\VS{44}David
then gives
him
the
name
of
Lord,
so
how
is
it possible
for
him
to
be
his
son?
\VS{45}And
in
the
hearing
of
all
the
people
he
said
to
his
disciples,
\VS{46}Keep
away
from
the
scribes, whose pleasure
it
is
to go
about
in
long
robes,
and
to
have
words
of respect
said
to
them
in
the market-places,
and
to
take
the
chief
seats
in
the
Synagogues
and
the first
places
at feasts;
\VS{47}Who
take
the
property
of
widows
and
before
the eyes
of
men
make
long
prayers;
they
will get
a greater
punishment.

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
looking
up,
he
saw
the
men
of wealth
putting
their
offerings
in
the money-box.
\VS{2}And
he
saw
a
certain
poor
widow
putting
in
a farthing.
\VS{3}And
he
said,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
This
poor
widow
has given
more
than
all
of
them:
\VS{4}For
they
gave
out
of
their
wealth,
having
more
than
enough
for
themselves:
but
she,
even
out
of
her
need,
has
put
in
all
her
living.
\VS{5}And
some
were
talking
about
the
Temple,
how
it
was
made
fair
with
beautiful
stones
and
with offerings,
but
he
said,
\VS{6}As
for
these
things
which
you
see,
the
days
will
come
when
not
one
stone
will
be resting
on
another,
but all
will
be broken
down.
\VS{7}And
they
said
to
him, Master,
when
will
these
things
be?
and
what
sign
will
there
be
when
these events
are
to
take
place?
\VS{8}And
he
said,
Take
care
that
you
are
not tricked:
for
a
number
of
people
will
come
in
my
name,
saying,
I
am
he;
and,
The
time
is
near:
do
not
go
after
them.
\VS{9}And
when news
of
wars
and troubled times
comes
to
your
ears,
have
no fear;
for
these
things
have
to
be,
but
the
end
will
not
be
now.
\VS{10}Then
he
said
to
them,
Nation
will
be moved
against
nation
and
kingdom
against
kingdom:
\VS{11}There
will
be
great earth-shocks
and outbursts
of disease
in
a number
of
places,
and
men
will
be
without food;
and
there
will
be wonders
and
great
signs
from
heaven.
\VS{12}But
before
all
this,
they
will take
you
and
be
very cruel
to
you, giving
you
up
to
the
Synagogues
and
to
prisons, taking
you
before
kings
and rulers,
because
of
my
name.
\VS{13}And
it
will be turned
to a
witness
for
you.
\VS{14}So
take care
not
to
be troubled
before
the time comes,
about
what answers
you
will give:
\VS{15}For
I
will
give
you
words
and
wisdom,
so
that
not
one
of
those
who
are
against
you
will
be
able
to get
the better
of
you,
or
to
put
you
in
the wrong.
\VS{16}But
you
will
be
given
up
even
by
your fathers
and mothers,
your
brothers
and relations
and
friends;
and
some
of
you
will
be
put
to
death.
\VS{17}And
you
will
be
hated
by
all
men,
because
of
me.
\VS{18}But
not
a
hair
of
your
head
will
come
to destruction.
\VS{19}By going
through
all
these
things,
you
will keep
your
lives.
\VS{20}But
when
you
see
armies
all round
about
Jerusalem,
then be certain
that
her destruction
is
near.
\VS{21}Then let
those
who
are
in Judaea
go
in flight
to
the
mountains;
and
those
who
are
in
the
middle
of
the
town
go
out;
and let
not
those
who
are
in
the
country
come
in.
\VS{22}For
these
are
the
days
of
punishment,
in
which
all
the
things
in
the Writings
will
be put into effect.
\VS{23}It
will
be hard
for women
who
are
with child,
and
for
her
with
a baby
at
the breast,
in
those
days.
For
great trouble
will
come
on
the
land,
and
wrath
on
this
people.
\VS{24}And
they
will
be put
to death
with
the
sword,
and
will
be taken
as prisoners
into
all
the
nations;
and
Jerusalem
will
be crushed
under
the feet
of
the
Gentiles, till
the
times
of
the
Gentiles
are
complete.
\VS{25}And
there
will
be
signs
in
the
sun
and
moon
and
stars;
and
on
the
earth, fear
among
the
nations
and doubt
because
of
the loud
noise
of
the
sea
and
the
waves;
\VS{26}Men's
strength
will go
from
them
in
fear
and
in waiting
for
the
things
which
are
coming
on
the
earth;
for
the
powers
of
the
heavens
will
be moved.
\VS{27}And
then
they
will
see
the
Son
of
man
coming
in
a
cloud,
with
power
and
great
glory.
\VS{28}But
when
these
things
come
about,
let
your
heads
be
lifted
up,
because
your salvation
is
near.
\VS{29}And
he
made
a story
for
them:
See
the fig-tree,
and
all
the
trees;
\VS{30}When
they
put
out
their young leaves,
you
take note
of
it,
and
it
is clear
to
you
that
summer
is coming.
\VS{31}In
the
same
way,
when
you
see
these
things
taking
place
you
may
be certain
that
the
kingdom
of
God
is
near.
\VS{32}Truly
I
say
to
you,
This
generation
will
not
come
to
an
end till
all
things
are
complete.
\VS{33}Heaven
and
earth
will
come
to
an end,
but
my
words
will
not
come
to
an end.
\VS{34}But
give
attention
to
yourselves,
for fear
that
your
hearts become over-full
of
the pleasures
of food
and wine,
and
the
cares
of
this
life,
and
that
day
may
come
on
you
suddenly,
and
take
you
as
in
a net:
\VS{35}For
so
it
will
come
on
all
those
who
are living
on
the
face
of
all
the
earth.
\VS{36}But
keep
watch
at
all
times
with prayer,
that
you
may
be strong enough
to
come
through
all
these
things
and
take
your
place
before
the
Son
of
man.
\VS{37}And every
day
he
was
teaching
in
the
Temple
and every
night
he
went
out
to
the
mountain
which
is
named
the
Mountain
of
Olives
to take
his
rest.
\VS{38}And
all
the
people
came
early
in
the
morning
to
give ear
to
his
words
in
the
Temple.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the
feast
of
unleavened bread
was
near,
which
is
called
the
Passover.
\VS{2}And
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
were
looking
for
a chance
to
put
him
to
death,
but
they went
in
fear
of
the
people.
\VS{3}And
Satan
came
into
Judas
Iscariot,
who
was
one
of
the
twelve.
\VS{4}And
he
went
away
and
had
a discussion
with
the
chief
priests
and
the rulers,
about
how
he
might give
him
up
to
them.
\VS{5}And
they
were
glad,
and undertook
to
give
him
money.
\VS{6}And
he
made
an agreement
with
them
to
give
him
up
to
them,
if
he got
a chance,
when
the
people
were
not present.
\VS{7}And
the
day
of
unleavened bread
came,
when
the
Passover lamb
is put
to death.
\VS{8}And
Jesus
sent
Peter
and
John,
saying,
Go
and
make
the
Passover
ready
for
us,
so
that
we
may take
it.
\VS{9}And
they
said
to
him,
Where
are
we
to
get
it
ready?
\VS{10}And
he
said
to
them,
When
you
go
into
the
town
you
will
see
a
man
coming
to
you
with
a vessel
of
water;
go
after
him
into
the
house
into
which
he
goes.
\VS{11}And
say
to
the master
of
the
house,
The Master
says,
Where
is
the guest-room,
where
I
may take
the
Passover
with
my
disciples?
\VS{12}And
he
will take
you up to
a
great room
with
a table
and seats:
there
make
ready.
\VS{13}And
they
went,
and
it
was
as
he
had
said:
and
they
made
the
Passover
ready.
\VS{14}And
when
the
time
had
come,
he
took
his seat,
and
the
Apostles
with
him.
\VS{15}And
he
said,
I
have
had
a great
desire
to keep
this
Passover
with
you
before
I come
to
my death;
\VS{16}For
I
say
to
you,
I
will
not take
it till
it
is
made
complete
in
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{17}And
he
took
a
cup
and, having
given praise,
he
said, Make division
of
this
among
yourselves;
\VS{18}For
I
say
to
you,
I
will
not take
of
the
fruit
of
the
vine till
the
kingdom
of
God
has
come.
\VS{19}And
he
took
bread
and,
having
given praise,
he
gave
it
to
them
when
it
had
been
broken,
saying,
This
is
my
body,
which
is
given
for
you:
do
this
in memory
of
me.
\VS{20}And
in
the
same
way,
after
the meal,
he took
the
cup,
saying,
This
cup
is
the
new testament,
made
with
my
blood
which
is given
for
you.
\VS{21}But
the
hand
of
him
who
is false
to
me
is
with
me
at
the
table.
\VS{22}For
it
will
be done
to
the
Son
of
man
after
the
purpose
of God,
but unhappy
is
that
man
by
whom
he
is
given
up.
\VS{23}And
they
were wondering
among
themselves
which
of
them
it
was
who
would
do
this
thing.
\VS{24}And
there
was
an argument
among
them
about
which
of
them
was
the
greatest.
\VS{25}And
he
said,
The
kings
of
the
Gentiles
are
lords
over
them,
and
those
who
have
authority
are
given names
of honour.
\VS{26}But
let
it
not
be
so
with
you;
but
he
who
is
greater,
let
him
become
like
the
younger;
and
he
who
is
chief,
like
a
servant.
\VS{27}For
which
is
greater,
the guest
who
is
seated
at
a meal
or
the
servant
who
is waiting
on
him?
is
it
not
the guest?
but
I
am
among
you
as
a
servant.
\VS{28}But
you
are
those
who
have kept
with
me
through
my troubles;
\VS{29}And
I
will give
you a
kingdom
as my
Father
has given
one
to
me,
\VS{30}So
that
you
may take
food
and
drink
at
my
table
in
my
kingdom,
and
be
seated like kings,
judging
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel.
\VS{31}Simon,
Simon,
Satan
has made
a request
to
have
you,
so
that
he may put
you
to
the test
as
grain
is tested:
\VS{32}But
I
have made prayer
for
you,
that
your
faith
may
not go
from
you:
and
when
you
are
turned
again,
make
your
brothers strong.
\VS{33}And
he
said
to
him,
Lord,
I
am
ready
to
go
with
you
to
prison
and
to
death.
\VS{34}And
he
said,
I
say
to
you,
Peter,
before
the cock's second cry
today,
you
will
say
three
times
that
you
have
no knowledge
of
me.
\VS{35}And
he
said
to
them,
When
I
sent
you
out
without
money
or
bag
or
shoes,
were
you
in
need
of
anything?
And
they
said,
Nothing.
\VS{36}And
he
said
to
them,
But
now,
he
who
has
a money-bag,
or
a
bag
for food,
let
him
take
it:
and
he
who
has
not,
let
him
give
his
coat
for
money
and
get
a
sword.
\VS{37}For
I
say
to
you
that
these
words
will
be
put
into effect
in
me,
And
he
was
numbered
among
the evil-doers:
for
what
has
been
said
in
the Writings
about
me
has
an
end.
\VS{38}And
they
said,
Lord,
here
are
two
swords.
And
he
said,
It
is
enough.
\VS{39}And
he
came
out,
and
went,
as
his
way
was,
to
the
Mountain
of
Olives,
and
the
disciples
went
with
him.
\VS{40}And
when
he
came
to
the
place,
he
said
to
them,
Make
a
prayer
that
you
may
not
be
put
to
the test.
\VS{41}And
he went
a little
distance
away
from
them
and,
falling
on
his
knees
in
prayer,
he
said,
\VS{42}Father,
if
it
is
your pleasure,
take
this
cup
from
me:
but still,
let
your pleasure,
not
mine,
be
done.
\VS{43}And
an
angel
from
heaven came
to
him,
to give
him strength.
\VS{44}And
being
in great trouble
of soul,
the force
of
his
prayer
became stronger,
and great
drops,
like
blood,
came
from
him,
falling
to
the
earth.
\VS{45}And,
getting
up
from
prayer,
he
came
to
the
disciples,
and saw
that
they
were
sleeping
for
sorrow.
\VS{46}And
he
said,
Why
are
you
sleeping?
Get
up,
and
give
yourselves
to
prayer,
so
that
you
may
not
be put
to
the test.
\VS{47}And
while
he
was
saying
these
words,
there
came
a band
of
people,
and
Judas,
one
of
the
twelve,
was
in front
of
them,
and
he
came
near
to
Jesus
to
give
him
a
kiss.
\VS{48}But
Jesus
said
to
him,
Judas,
will
you
be false
to
the
Son
of
man
with
a
kiss?
\VS{49}And
when
those
who
were
with
him
saw
what
was coming,
they
said,
Lord,
may
we
not make use
of
our
swords?
\VS{50}And
one
of
them gave
a blow
to
the
servant
of
the
high
priest, cutting
off
his
right
ear.
\VS{51}But
Jesus,
answering,
said, Put up
with
this,
at least.
And
touching
his
ear,
he
made
it
well.
\VS{52}And
Jesus
said
to
the
chief
priests
and
the captains
of
the
Temple
and
the rulers,
who
had
come
against
him,
Have
you
come
out
as
against
a thief,
with
swords
and sticks?
\VS{53}When
I
was
in
the
Temple
with
you
every
day,
your
hands
were
not
stretched
out
against
me:
but
this
is
your
hour,
and
the
authority
of
the dark
power.
\VS{54}And
they made
him
a prisoner
and
took
him
away
to
the
house
of
the
high
priest.
But
Peter went
after
them
at
a
distance.
\VS{55}And
a
fire
was lighted
in
the
middle
of
the open square,
and
they
were
seated
together,
and
Peter
was
among
them.
\VS{56}And
a
certain woman-servant,
seeing
him
in
the
light
of
the
fire,
and
looking
at
him
with attention,
said,
This
man
was
with
him.
\VS{57}But
he
said,
Woman,
it
is
not true;
I
have
no knowledge
of
him.
\VS{58}And
after
a
little
time,
another
saw
him
and
said,
You
are
one
of
them;
and
he
said,
Man,
I
am
not.
\VS{59}And
after
about
an
hour,
another
man
said,
with decision,
Certainly
this
man
was
with
him,
for
he
is
a Galilaean.
\VS{60}And
Peter
said,
Man,
I
have
no knowledge
of
these
things
of
which
you
are
talking.
And straight away,
while
he
was
saying
these
words,
there came
the cry
of
a cock.
\VS{61}And
the
Lord,
turning, gave
Peter
a
look.
And
the
words
of
the
Lord came
to Peter's
mind,
how
he
had
said,
This
night,
before
the hour
of
the cock's cry,
you
will
be false
to
me
three
times.
\VS{62}And
he
went
out,
weeping
bitterly.
\VS{63}And
the
men
in
whose hands
Jesus
was, made sport
of
him
and gave
him blows.
\VS{64}And, covering
his
eyes,
they
said
to
him,
Are
you prophet enough
to
say
who gave
you
that blow?
\VS{65}And
they
said
a
number
of
other
evil
things
against
him.
\VS{66}And
when
it
was
day,
the rulers
of
the
people
came
together,
with
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes,
and
they
took
him
before
their
Sanhedrin,
saying,
\VS{67}If
you
are
the
Christ,
say
so.
But
he
said,
If
I
say
so
you
will
not
have belief;
\VS{68}And
if
I put
a
question
to
you,
you
will
not give
an
answer.
\VS{69}But
in
the future
the
Son
of
man
will
be
seated
at
the
right
hand
of
the
power
of
God.
\VS{70}And
they
all
said,
Are
you
then
the
Son
of
God?
and
he
said,
You
say
that
I
am.
\VS{71}And
they
said,
What
more
need
have
we
of
witness?
we
have
the
very
words
of
his
mouth.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
they
all went
and
took
him
before
Pilate.
\VS{2}And
they
made statements
against
him,
saying,
This
man
has
to
our knowledge
been teaching
our
nation
to
do wrong,
and
not
to
make payment
of
taxes
to
Caesar,
even
saying
that
he
himself
is
Christ,
a
king.
\VS{3}And
Pilate
said
to
him,
Are
you
the
King
of
the
Jews?
And
he
said
in
answer,
You
say
so.
\VS{4}And
Pilate
said
to
the
chief
priests
and
the
people,
In
my opinion
this
man
has done
no wrong.
\VS{5}But
they
became
more violent
than
before,
saying,
He
has
made trouble
among
the
people,
teaching
through
all Judaea
from
Galilee
to
this
place.
\VS{6}But
at
these
words
Pilate
said,
Is
the
man
a Galilaean?
\VS{7}And
when
he saw
that
he
was
under
the
authority
of
Herod,
he
sent
him
to
Herod,
who
was
in
Jerusalem
himself
at
that
time.
\VS{8}Now
when
Herod
saw
Jesus
he
was
very
glad, having
for
a
long
time
had
a
desire
to
see
him,
for
he
had
had accounts
of
him,
and
was
hoping
to
see
some wonders
done
by
him.
\VS{9}And
he put
a great
number
of
questions
to
him,
but
he
said
nothing.
\VS{10}And
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
were
there,
making statements
against
him violently.
\VS{11}And
Herod,
with
the
men
of
his
army, put shame
on
him
and made sport
of
him,
and
dressing
him
in
shining
robes,
he
sent
him
back
to
Pilate.
\VS{12}And
that
day
Herod
and
Pilate
became
friends
with
one
another,
for
before
they
had
been
against
one
another.
\VS{13}And
Pilate sent
for
the
chief
priests
and
the
rulers
and
the
people,
and
said
to them,
\VS{14}You
say
that
this
man
has
been teaching
the
people evil
things:
now
I,
after going
into
the question
before
you,
see
nothing wrong
in
this
man
in connection
with
the
things
which
you
have
said
against
him:
\VS{15}And
Herod
is
of
the
same opinion,
for
he
has
sent
him
back
to
us;
for,
you
see,
he
has
done
nothing
for which
I
might put
him
to
death.
\VS{16}And
so
I
will give
him punishment
and
let
him
go.
\VS{17}[]
\VS{18}But
with loud voices
they
said
all
together,
Put
this
man
to death,
and make
Barabbas
free.
\VS{19}Now
this
man
was
in
prison
because
of
an attack
against
the government
in
the
town,
in
which
there
had
been loss
of life.
\VS{20}And
Pilate
again said
to
them
that
it
was
his
desire
to
let
Jesus
go
free.
\VS{21}But
crying out
they
said,
To
the cross
with
him!
\VS{22}And
he
said
to
them
a
third
time,
Why,
what
evil
has
he
done?
I see
no
reason
for putting
him
to
death:
I
will
give
him punishment
and
let
him
go.
\VS{23}But
they went
on crying out
loudly, Let
him
be put
to death
on
the cross.
And
they
had
their
way.
\VS{24}And
Pilate gave
his decision
for
their desire
to
be
put
into effect.
\VS{25}And
in answer
to
their
request,
he
let
that man
go
free
who
had
been
in
prison
for acting
against
the government
and causing death,
and
Jesus
he
gave
up
to
their pleasure.
\VS{26}And
while
they
were
taking
him
away,
they
put
their hands
on
Simon
of
Cyrene,
who
was
coming
from
the
country,
and
made
him
take
the
cross
after
Jesus.
\VS{27}And
a
great band
of
people went
after
him,
and
of
women making signs
of grief
and weeping
for
him.
\VS{28}But
Jesus,
turning
to
them,
said,
Daughters
of
Jerusalem,
let
not
your
weeping
be
for
me,
but
for
yourselves
and
for
your
children.
\VS{29}For
the
days
are
coming
in
which
they
will
say,
Happy
are
those
who
have
had
no
children,
whose bodies
have
never given
birth,
whose
breasts
have
never given milk.
\VS{30}And
they
will
say
to
the
mountains, Come
down
on
us,
and
to
the
hills,
Be
a
cover
over
us.
\VS{31}For
if
they
do
these
things
when
the
tree
is
green,
what
will
they
do
when
it
is
dry?
\VS{32}And
two
others, evil-doers,
were taken
with
him
to
be
put
to
death.
\VS{33}And
when
they
came
to
the
place
which
is
named Golgotha,
they put
him
on
the cross,
and
the evil-doers,
one
on
the
right side,
and
the
other
on
the
left.
\VS{34}And
Jesus
said,
Father,
let
them
have forgiveness,
for
they
have
no knowledge
of
what
they
are
doing.
And
they
made division
of
his
clothing
among
them
by
the decision
of chance.
\VS{35}And
the
people
were
looking
on.
And
the
rulers
made sport
of
him,
saying,
He
was
a saviour
of
others;
let
him
do
something
for
himself,
if
he
is
the
Christ,
the
man
of God's selection.
\VS{36}And
the
men
of
the army made sport
of
him,
coming
to
him
and giving
him bitter
wine,
\VS{37}And
saying,
If
you
are
the
King
of
the
Jews,
get
yourself free.
\VS{38}And
these
words
were put
in writing
over
him,
THIS
IS
THE
KING
OF
THE
JEWS.
\VS{39}And
one
of
the evil-doers
on
the cross,
with bitter feeling,
said
to
him,
Are
you
not
the
Christ?
Get
yourself
and
us
out
of
this.
\VS{40}But
the
other, protesting,
said,
Have
you
no
fear
of
God?
for
you
have
a
part
in
the
same
punishment,
\VS{41}And
with reason;
for
we
have
the right reward
of
our acts,
but
this
man
has
done
nothing
wrong.
\VS{42}And
he
said,
Jesus, keep
me
in
mind
when
you
come
in
your
kingdom.
\VS{43}And
he
said
to
him,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
Today
you
will
be
with
me
in
Paradise.
\VS{44}And
it
was
now
about
the
sixth
hour;
and
all
the
land
was dark till
the ninth
hour;
\VS{45}The light
of
the
sun went out,
and
the
curtain
in
the
Temple
was parted
in
two.
\VS{46}And
Jesus gave
a
loud
cry
and
said,
Father,
into
your
hands
I
give
my
spirit:
and
when
he
had
said
this,
he gave
up
his
spirit.
\VS{47}And
when
the captain
saw
what
was
done,
he gave
praise
to
God,
saying, Without doubt
this
was
an
upright
man.
\VS{48}And
all
the
people
who
had
come
together
to
see
it,
when
they
saw
the
things
which
were
done,
went
back
again making signs
of grief.
\VS{49}And
all
his friends
and
the
women
who
came
with
him
from
Galilee,
were waiting
at
a
distance, watching
these
things.
\VS{50}Now
there
was
a
man
named
Joseph,
a
man
of authority
and
a
good
and
upright
man
\VS{51}(He
had
not given
his approval
to
their
decision
or
their acts),
of Arimathaea,
a
town
of
the
Jews,
who
was
waiting
for
the
kingdom
of
God:
\VS{52}This
man
went
to
Pilate
and made
a
request
for
the
body
of
Jesus.
\VS{53}And
he
took
it
down,
and folding
it
in
a
linen
cloth,
he
put
it
in
a
place
cut
in
the
rock
for
a dead body;
and
no
one
had
ever
been
put
in
it.
\VS{54}Now
it
was
the
day
of making ready
and
the
Sabbath
was coming
on.
\VS{55}And
the
women
who
had
come
with
him
from
Galilee
went
after
him
and
saw
the
place
and
how
his
body
had
been
put
to
rest;
\VS{56}And
they
went
back
and got
ready
spices
and
perfumes;
and
on
the
Sabbath
they took
their rest,
in agreement
with
the law.

\par }\Chap{24}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
on
the
first
day
of
the
week,
at
dawn,
they
came
to
the place
where
his body
had been put,
taking
the
spices
which
they
had got
ready.
\VS{2}And
they saw
that
the
stone
had been
rolled
away.
\VS{3}And
they
went
in,
but
the
body
of
the
Lord
Jesus
was
not
there.
\VS{4}And
while
they
were
in doubt
about
it,
they
saw
two
men
in shining
clothing
by
them:
\VS{5}And
while
their
faces
were bent down
to
the
earth
in fear,
these
said
to
them,
Why
are
you
looking
for
the
living
among
the
dead?
\VS{6}He
is
not
here,
he
has
come back
to life:
have
in mind
what
he
said
to
you
when
he
was
still
in
Galilee,
saying,
\VS{7}The
Son
of
man
will
be
given
up
into
the
hands
of evil-doers,
and
be
put
to death
on
the cross,
and
on
the
third
day
he
will come
back
to life.
\VS{8}And
his
words came back into
their minds,
\VS{9}And
they
went
away
from
that place
and gave
an account
of
all
these
things
to
the
eleven disciples
and
all
the
others.
\VS{10}Now
they
were
Mary
Magdalene,
and
Joanna,
and
Mary,
the mother
of
James:
and
the
other
women
with
them
said
these
things
to
the
Apostles.
\VS{11}But
these
words
seemed foolish
to
them,
and
they
had no belief
in
them.
\VS{12}But
Peter
got
up
and
went
to
the
place where
the body
had
been
put,
and
looking
in
he
saw nothing
but
the
linen cloths,
and
he
went
to
his house full
of
wonder
at
what
had
taken
place.
\VS{13}And
then,
two
of
them,
on
that
very
day,
were
going
to
a little
town
named
Emmaus,
which
was
about
seven
miles
from
Jerusalem.
\VS{14}And
they
were
talking
together
about
all
those
things
which
had
taken
place.
\VS{15}And
while
they
were
talking
and questioning
together,
Jesus
himself
came
near
and
went
with
them.
\VS{16}But
their
eyes
were
not open
that
they might
have knowledge
of
him.
\VS{17}And
he
said
to
them,
What
are
you
talking
about
together
while
you go?
\VS{18}Then stopping,
and looking sadly
at
him,
one
of
them,
named
Cleopas,
said
to
him,
Are
you
the
only
man living
in
Jerusalem
who
has
not
had news
of
the
things
which
have
taken
place
there
at
this
time?
\VS{19}And
he
said
to
them,
What
things?
And
they
said,
The
things
to
do
with
Jesus
of
Nazareth,
who
was
a
prophet,
great
in
his acts
and
his
words,
before
God
and
all
the
people:
\VS{20}And
how
the
chief
priests
and
our
rulers
gave
him
up
to
be
put
to
death
on
the cross.
\VS{21}But
we
were
hoping
that
he
would
be
the Saviour
of
Israel.
In addition
to
all
this
he
has
now
let three
days
go
by
from
the
time
when
these
things
took
place;
\VS{22}And
certain
women
among
us gave
us cause
for wonder,
for
they
went
early
to
the
place
where
his body
had
been
put,
\VS{23}And
it
was
not
there;
then
they
came
saying
that
they
had
seen
a
vision
of
angels
who
said
that
he
was
living.
\VS{24}And
some
of
those
who
were
with
us
went
to
the
place,
and
saw
that
it
was
as
the
women
had
said,
but
him
they
did
not
see.
\VS{25}And
he
said,
O
foolish
men! how
slow
you
are
to
give belief
to
what
the
prophets
have
said.
\VS{26}Was
it
not
necessary
for
the
Christ
to
go through
these
things,
and
to
come
into
his
glory?
\VS{27}And
he made clear
to
them
all
the
things
in
the Writings,
from
Moses
and
from
all
the
prophets,
which
had
to
do
with
himself.
\VS{28}And
they
came
near
the
town
to
which
they
were
going,
and
he seemed
as
if
he
was
going
on;
\VS{29}But
they kept
him
back,
saying,
Do
not
go,
for
evening
is
near,
the
day
is almost
gone.
And
he
went
in
with
them.
\VS{30}And
when
he
was seated
with
them
at table,
he
took
the
bread,
and
said
words
of
blessing
and, making division
of
it,
he
gave
it
to
them.
\VS{31}And
then
their
eyes
were open,
and
they
had knowledge
of
him,
but
he
went
from
their view.
\VS{32}And
they
said
to
one
another,
Were
not
our
hearts
burning
in
us
while
he
was
talking
to
us
on
the
way, making clear
to
us
the holy Writings?
\VS{33}And
that
very
hour
they
got
up
and
went
back
to
Jerusalem,
where
the
eleven
and
the
others
had come
together.
\VS{34}And
they
said
to
them,
The
Lord
has truly come back
to life
again,
and
Simon
has
seen
him.
\VS{35}And
they gave
an account
of
the
things
which
had taken
place
on
the
way,
and
how,
when
he gave
them
bread,
they
had knowledge
of
him.
\VS{36}And
while
they
were
saying
these
things,
he
himself
was
among
them,
and
said
to
them, Peace
be
with
you!
\VS{37}But
they
were full
of fear,
being
of
the opinion
that
they
were
seeing
a
spirit.
\VS{38}And
he
said
to
them,
Why
are
you
troubled,
and
why
are
your
hearts full
of doubt?
\VS{39}See;
my
hands
and
my
feet:
it
is
I
myself; put
your
hands
on
me
and
make certain;
for
a
spirit
has
not
flesh
and
bones
as
you
see
that
I
have.
\VS{40}And
when
he
had
said
this,
he
let
them see
his
hands
and
his
feet.
\VS{41}And
because,
for
joy
and
wonder,
they
were
still
in doubt,
he
said
to
them,
Have
you
any food
here?
\VS{42}And
they
gave
him
a bit
of cooked
fish.
\VS{43}And
before
their eyes
he
took
a meal.
\VS{44}And
he
said
to
them,
These
are
the
words
which
I
said
to
you
when
I
was
still
with
you,
how
it
was
necessary
for
all
the
things
which
are
in
the writings
of
Moses
and
the
prophets
and
in
the
Psalms
about
me,
to
be
put
into effect.
\VS{45}Then
he made
the holy Writings clear
to
their
minds.
\VS{46}And
he
said
to
them,
So
it
is
in
the Writings
that
the
Christ
would undergo
death,
and
come back
to life
again
on
the
third
day;
\VS{47}And
that teaching
about
a change
of heart
and
forgiveness
of
sins
is
to
be given
to
Jerusalem first
and
to
all
nations
in
his
name.
\VS{48}You
are
witnesses
of
these
things.
\VS{49}And
now
I
will
send
to
you
what
my
father
has undertaken
to give
you,
but
do
not go
from
the
town, till
the
power
from heaven
comes
to
you.
\VS{50}And
he took
them
out till
they
were
near
Bethany,
and
lifting
up
his
hands,
he gave
them
a
blessing.
\VS{51}And
while
he
was doing
so,
he
went
from
them
and
was
taken
up
into
heaven.
\VS{52}And
they gave
him
worship
and
went
back
to
Jerusalem
with
great
joy.
\VS{53}And
they
were
in
the
Temple
at
all times,
giving
praise
to
God.
