\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
book
of
the generations
of
Jesus
Christ,
the
son
of
David,
the
son
of
Abraham.
\VS{2}The son
of
Abraham
was
Isaac;
and
the son
of
Isaac
was
Jacob;
and
the sons
of
Jacob
were
Judah
and
his
brothers;
\VS{3}And
the sons
of
Judah
were
Perez
and
Zerah
by
Tamar;
and
the son
of
Perez
was
Hezron;
and
the son
of
Hezron
was
Ram;
\VS{4}And
the son
of
Ram
was
Amminadab;
and
the son
of
Amminadab
was
Nahshon;
and
the son
of
Nahshon
was
Salmon;
\VS{5}And
the son
of
Salmon
by
Rahab
was
Boaz;
and
the son
of
Boaz
by
Ruth
was Obed;
and
the son
of Obed
was
Jesse;
\VS{6}And
the son
of
Jesse
was
David
the
king;
and
the son
of
David
was
Solomon
by her
who
had been
the wife
of
Uriah;
\VS{7}And
the son
of
Solomon
was
Rehoboam;
and
the son
of
Rehoboam
was
Abijah;
and
the son
of
Abijah
was
Asa;
\VS{8}And
the son
of
Asa
was
Jehoshaphat;
and
the son
of
Jehoshaphat
was
Joram;
and
the son
of
Joram
was
Uzziah;
\VS{9}And
the son
of
Uzziah
was
Jotham;
and
the son
of
Jotham
was
Ahaz;
and
the son
of
Ahaz
was
Hezekiah;
\VS{10}And
the son
of
Hezekiah
was
Manasseh;
and
the son
of
Manasseh
was
Amon;
and
the son
of
Amon
was
Josiah;
\VS{11}And
the sons
of
Josiah
were Jechoniah
and
his
brothers,
at
the
time
of
the taking away
to
Babylon.
\VS{12}And
after
the taking
away
to
Babylon, Jechoniah
had
a son
Shealtiel;
and
Shealtiel
had
Zerubbabel;
\VS{13}And
Zerubbabel
had
Abiud;
and
Abiud
had
Eliakim;
and
Eliakim
had
Azor;
\VS{14}And
Azor
had
Zadok;
and
Zadok
had
Achim;
and
Achim
had
Eliud;
\VS{15}And
Eliud
had
Eleazar;
and
Eleazar
had
Matthan;
and
Matthan
had
Jacob;
\VS{16}And
the son
of
Jacob
was
Joseph
the
husband
of
Mary,
who
gave
birth
to
Jesus,
whose name
is
Christ.
\VS{17}So
all
the
generations
from
Abraham
to
David
are
fourteen
generations;
and
from
David
to
the taking
away
to
Babylon,
fourteen
generations;
and
from
the taking
away
to
Babylon
to
the coming
of
Christ,
fourteen
generations.
\VS{18}Now
the
birth
of
Jesus
Christ
was
in
this
way:
when
his
mother
Mary
was going
to
be married
to
Joseph,
before
they
came
together
the discovery
was made
that
she
was
with child
by
the
Holy
Spirit.
\VS{19}And
Joseph,
her
husband,
being
an
upright
man,
and
not
desiring
to
make
her
a public example,
had
a
mind
to put
her
away
privately.
\VS{20}But
when
he
was giving
thought
to
these
things,
an
angel
of
the
Lord
came
to
him
in
a
dream,
saying,
Joseph,
son
of
David,
have
no
fear
of
taking
Mary
as
your
wife;
because
that
which
is
in
her body
is
of
the
Holy
Spirit.
\VS{21}And
she
will
give
birth
to
a
son;
and
you
will
give
him
the
name
Jesus;
for
he
will
give
his
people
salvation
from
their
sins.
\VS{22}Now
all
this
took
place
so
that
the word
of
the
Lord
by
the
prophet might
come true,
\VS{23}See,
the
virgin
will
be
with
child,
and
will
give
birth
to
a
son,
and
they
will
give
him
the
name
Immanuel,
that
is,
God
with
us.
\VS{24}And
Joseph
did
as
the
angel
of
the
Lord
had
said
to
him,
and
took
her
as
his
wife;
\VS{25}And
he
had
no connection
with
her till
she
had
given
birth
to
a
son;
and
he
gave
him
the
name
Jesus.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
the
birth
of
Jesus took
place
in Beth-lehem
of Judaea,
in
the
days
of
Herod
the
king,
there
came wise men
from
the
east
to
Jerusalem,
\VS{2}Saying,
Where
is
the
King
of
the
Jews
whose
birth
has
now taken
place?
We
have
seen
his
star
in
the
east
and
have
come
to
give
him
worship.
\VS{3}And
when
it
came
to
the
ears
of
Herod
the
king,
he
was
troubled,
and
all
Jerusalem
with
him.
\VS{4}And
he got
together
all
the
chief
priests
and
scribes
of
the
people, questioning
them
as
to
where
the birth-place
of
the
Christ
would
be.
\VS{5}And
they
said
to
him,
In Beth-lehem
of Judaea;
for
so
it
is
said
in
the writings
of
the
prophet,
\VS{6}You Beth-lehem,
in
the
land
of
Judah,
are
not
the
least
among
the chiefs
of
Judah:
out
of
you
will
come
a
ruler,
who
will
be
the keeper
of
my
people
Israel.
\VS{7}Then
Herod
sent
for
the wise
men
privately,
and put questions
to
them
about
what
time
the
star
had been
seen.
\VS{8}And
he
sent
them
to Beth-lehem
and
said,
Go
and make certain
where
the young
child
is;
and
when
you
have seen
him,
let
me
have news
of
it,
so
that
I
may
come
and
give
him
worship.
\VS{9}And
after
hearing
the
king,
they
went
on
their
way;
and
the
star
which
they
saw
in
the
east
went
before
them, till
it
came
to
rest
over
the
place
where
the young
child
was.
\VS{10}And
when
they
saw
the
star
they
were full
of
joy.
\VS{11}And
they
came
into
the
house,
and
saw
the young
child
with
Mary,
his
mother;
and
falling
down
on
their faces
they gave
him
worship;
and
from
their store
they gave
him
offerings
of
gold, perfume,
and spices.
\VS{12}And
it
was made clear
to
them
by
God
in
a
dream
that
they
were
not
to go
back
to
Herod;
so
they
went
into
their
country
by
another
way.
\VS{13}And
when
they
had
gone,
an
angel
of
the
Lord
came
to
Joseph
in
a
dream,
saying,
Get
up
and
take
the young
child
and
his
mother,
and go
into
Egypt,
and
do
not go
from
there till
I
give
you word;
for
Herod
will
be
searching
for
the young
child
to
put
him
to
death.
\VS{14}So
he
took
the young
child
and
his
mother
by
night,
and
went
into
Egypt;
\VS{15}And
was
there till
the
death
of
Herod;
so
that
the word
of
the
Lord
through
the
prophet
might
come true,
Out
of
Egypt
have
I sent
for
my
son.
\VS{16}Then
Herod,
when
he
saw
that
he
had
been
tricked
by
the wise
men,
was
very angry;
and
he
sent
out,
and
put
to
death
all
the
male
children
in Beth-lehem
and
in
all
the parts round
about
it,
from
two
years
old
and
under, acting
on
the knowledge
which
he
had got
with care
from
the wise
men.
\VS{17}Then
the word
of
Jeremiah
the
prophet
came true,
\VS{18}In
Ramah
there
was
a
sound
of
weeping
and
great sorrow,
Rachel
weeping
for
her
children,
and
she
would
not
be
comforted
for
their loss.
\VS{19}But
when
Herod
was dead,
an
angel
of
the
Lord came
in
a
dream
to
Joseph
in
Egypt,
\VS{20}Saying,
Get
up
and
take
the young
child
and
his
mother,
and
go
into
the
land
of
Israel:
because
they
who
were attempting
to
take
the young child's
life
are
dead.
\VS{21}And
he
got
up,
and
took
the young
child
and
his
mother,
and
came
into
the
land
of
Israel.
\VS{22}But
when
it
came
to
his
ears
that
Archelaus
was ruling
over Judaea
in
the
place
of
his
father
Herod,
he
was
in
fear
of
going
there;
and
God having given
him news
of
the danger
in
a
dream,
he
went out
of
the
way
into
the
country
parts
of
Galilee.
\VS{23}And
he
came
and
was
living
in
a
town
named
Nazareth:
so
that
the word
of
the
prophets
might
come true,
He
will
be
named
a
Nazarene.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
in
those
days
John
the
Baptist
came
preaching
in
the waste land
of Judaea,
\VS{2}Saying,
Let
your hearts
be turned
from sin;
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
near.
\VS{3}For
this
is
he
of
whom
Isaiah
the
prophet
said,
The
voice
of
one
crying
in
the waste land,
Make
ready
the
way
of
the
Lord,
make
his
roads
straight.
\VS{4}Now
John
was clothed
in camel's
hair,
with
a
leather band
about
him;
and
his
food
was
locusts
and
honey.
\VS{5}Then
Jerusalem
and
all Judaea
went
out
to
him,
and
all
the
people
from
near
Jordan;
\VS{6}And
they
were given baptism
by
him
in
the
river
Jordan, saying openly
that
they
had done wrong.
\VS{7}But
when
he
saw
a
number
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees
coming
to
his
baptism,
he
said
to
them,
Offspring
of snakes,
at
whose word
are
you
going
in flight
from
the
wrath
to
come?
\VS{8}Let
your change
of heart
be seen
in
your works:
\VS{9}And
say
not
to
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
for
our
father;
because
I
say
to
you
that
God
is
able
from
these
stones
to
make
children
for
Abraham.
\VS{10}And
even
now
the
axe
is
put
to
the
root
of
the
trees;
every
tree
then
which
does
not
give
good
fruit
is
cut
down,
and
put
into
the
fire.
\VS{11}Truly,
I
give baptism
with
water
to
those
of
you
whose hearts
are changed;
but
he
who
comes
after
me
is greater
than
I,
whose
shoes
I
am
not
good
enough
to take
up:
he
will
give
you baptism
with
the
Holy
Spirit
and
with
fire:
\VS{12}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
up
in
the
fire
which
will never
be put out.
\VS{13}Then
Jesus
came
from
Galilee
to
John
at
the
Jordan,
to be given baptism
by
him.
\VS{14}But
John
would
have
kept
him
back,
saying,
It
is
I
who
have
need
of baptism
from
you,
and
do
you
come
to
me?
\VS{15}But
Jesus
made
answer,
saying
to
him,
Let
it
be
so
now:
because
so
it
is
right
for
us
to
make
righteousness
complete.
Then
he
gave
him baptism.
\VS{16}And
Jesus,
having
been given baptism,
straight
away
went
up
from
the
water;
and,
the
heavens
opening,
he
saw
the
Spirit
of
God
coming
down
on
him
as
a
dove;
\VS{17}And
a
voice
came
out
of
heaven,
saying,
This
is
my dearly loved
Son,
with
whom
I
am
well
pleased.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Jesus
was sent
by
the
Spirit
into
the waste land
to be
tested
by
the Evil
One.
\VS{2}And
after
going
without food
for
forty
days
and
forty
nights,
he
was
in need
of
it.
\VS{3}And
the Evil
One
came
and
said
to
him,
If
you
are
the
Son
of
God,
give
the word
for
these
stones
to
become
bread.
\VS{4}But
he
made
answer
and
said,
It
is
in
the Writings,
Bread
is
not man's
only need,
but
every
word
which
comes
out
of
the
mouth
of
God.
\VS{5}Then
the Evil
One
took
him
to
the
holy
town;
and
he
put
him
on
the highest
point
of
the
Temple
and
said
to
him,
\VS{6}If
you
are
the
Son
of
God,
let
yourself go
down;
for
it
is
in
the Writings,
He
will
give
his
angels care
over
you;
and,
In
their
hands
they
will
keep
you
up,
so
that
your
foot
may
not
be crushed
against
a
stone.
\VS{7}Jesus
said
to
him,
Again
it
is
in
the Writings,
You
may
not
put
the
Lord
your
God
to
the
test.
\VS{8}Again,
the Evil
One
took
him
up
to
a
very
high
mountain,
and let
him see
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
world
and
the
glory
of
them;
\VS{9}And
he
said
to
him,
All
these
things
will
I
give
you,
if
you
will go
down
on
your face
and
give
me
worship.
\VS{10}Then
said
Jesus
to
him,
Away,
Satan:
for
it
is
in
the Writings,
Give
worship
to
the
Lord
your
God
and
be
his servant
only.
\VS{11}Then
the Evil
One
went
away
from
him,
and
angels
came
and took
care
of
him.
\VS{12}Now
when
it
came
to
his
ears
that
John
had been
put
in prison,
he
went away
to
Galilee;
\VS{13}And
going away
from
Nazareth,
he
came
and made
his living-place
in
Capernaum,
which
is
by
the
sea,
in
the country
of
Zebulun
and
Naphtali:
\VS{14}So
that
the word
of
the
prophet
Isaiah might
come true,
\VS{15}The
land
of
Zebulun
and
the
land
of
Naphtali,
by
the
way
of
the
sea,
the
other
side
of
Jordan,
Galilee
of
the
Gentiles,
\VS{16}The
people
who
were
in
the
dark
saw
a
great
light,
and
to
those
in
the
land
of
the
shade
of
death
did
the dawn come up.
\VS{17}From
that
time
Jesus went
about
preaching
and
saying,
Let
your hearts
be turned
from sin,
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
near.
\VS{18}And
when
he
was
walking
by
the
sea
of
Galilee,
he
saw
two
brothers,
Simon,
whose
other name
was
Peter,
and
Andrew,
his
brother,
who
were
putting
a net
into
the
sea;
for
they
were
fishermen.
\VS{19}And
he
said
to
them,
Come
after
me,
and
I
will
make
you
fishers
of
men.
\VS{20}And straight
away
they
let
go
the
nets
and went
after
him.
\VS{21}And
going
on
from
there
he
saw
two
other
brothers,
James,
the son
of
Zebedee,
and
John,
his
brother,
in
the
boat
with
their
father, stitching up
their
nets;
and
he
said, Come.
\VS{22}And
they went straight
from
the
boat
and
their
father
and came
after
him.
\VS{23}And
Jesus
went
about
in
all
Galilee,
teaching
in
their
Synagogues
and
preaching
the
good
news
of
the
kingdom,
and making
well
those
who
were ill
with
any
disease
among
the
people.
\VS{24}And
news
of
him
went
out through
all
Syria;
and
they took
to
him
all
who
were ill
with different
diseases
and
pains,
those
having
evil spirits
and
those
who
were
off
their heads,
and
those
who
had no power
of moving.
And
he made
them
well.
\VS{25}And
there went
after
him
great
numbers
from
Galilee
and
Decapolis
and
Jerusalem
and Judaea
and
from
the
other
side
of
Jordan.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
seeing great masses
of
people
he
went
up
into
the
mountain;
and
when
he
was
seated
his
disciples
came
to
him.
\VS{2}And
with
these
words
he gave
them
teaching,
saying,
\VS{3}Happy
are
the
poor
in
spirit:
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
theirs.
\VS{4}Happy
are
those
who
are sad:
for
they
will be
comforted.
\VS{5}Happy
are
the
gentle:
for
the
earth
will be
their heritage.
\VS{6}Happy
are
those
whose heart's desire
is
for
righteousness:
for
they
will
have
their desire.
\VS{7}Happy
are
those
who
have
mercy:
for
they
will be given
mercy.
\VS{8}Happy
are
the
clean
in
heart:
for
they
will
see
God.
\VS{9}Happy
are
the
peacemakers:
for
they
will
be
named
sons
of
God.
\VS{10}Happy
are
those
who
are attacked
on account
of
righteousness:
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven
will
be
theirs.
\VS{11}Happy
are
you
when
men
give
you
a
bad name,
and
are cruel
to
you,
and
say
all
evil
things
against
you
falsely,
because
of
me.
\VS{12}Be
glad
and
full
of
joy;
for
great
is
your
reward
in
heaven:
for
so
were
the
prophets attacked
who
were
before
you.
\VS{13}You
are
the
salt
of
the
earth;
but
if
its taste goes
from
the
salt,
how
will
you
make
it
salt
again?
it
is
then
good
for
nothing
but
to
be
put
out
and crushed
under
foot
by
men.
\VS{14}You
are
the
light
of
the
world.
A
town put
on
a
hill
may
be seen
by
all.
\VS{15}And
a
burning
light
is
not
put
under
a vessel,
but
on
its table;
so
that
its rays
may
be shining
on
all
who
are
in
the
house.
\VS{16}Even
so
let
your
light
be shining
before
men,
so
that
they
may
see
your
good
works
and give
glory
to
your
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{17}Let there
be
no
thought
that
I
have
come
to put
an end
to
the
law
or
the
prophets.
I
have
not
come
for destruction,
but
to
make
complete.
\VS{18}Truly
I
say
to
you, Till
heaven
and
earth
come
to
an end,
not
the
smallest
letter
or part
of
a
letter
will
in
any
way
be
taken
from
the
law, till
all
things
are
done.
\VS{19}Whoever
then goes
against
the
smallest
of
these laws,
teaching
men
to
do
the
same,
will
be
named
least
in
the
kingdom
of
heaven;
but
he
who
keeps
the laws,
teaching
others
to
keep
them,
will
be
named
great
in
the
kingdom
of
heaven.
\VS{20}For
I
say
to
you,
If
your
righteousness
is
not
greater
than
the
righteousness
of
the
scribes
and
Pharisees,
you
will
never
go
into
the
kingdom
of
heaven.
\VS{21}You
have knowledge
that
it
was
said
in
old times,
You
may
not
put
to
death;
and,
Whoever puts
to
death
will
be
in danger
of
being judged:
\VS{22}But
I
say
to
you
that
everyone
who
is
angry
with
his
brother
will
be
in danger
of
being judged;
and
he
who
says
to
his
brother, Raca,
will
be
in danger
from
the
Sanhedrin;
and
whoever
says,
You
foolish
one,
will
be
in danger
of
the
hell
of
fire.
\VS{23}If
then
you
are making
an
offering
at
the
altar
and
there
it comes
to
your mind
that
your
brother
has
something
against
you,
\VS{24}While
your
offering
is
still
before
the
altar,
first
go
and
make peace
with
your
brother,
then
come
and
make
your
offering.
\VS{25}Come
to
an agreement
quickly
with
him
who
has
a cause
against
you
at
law,
while
you
are
with
him
on
the
way,
for fear
that
he
may give
you
up
to
the
judge
and
the
judge
may give
you
to
the police
and
you
may
be
put
into
prison.
\VS{26}Truly
I
say
to
you,
You
will
not
come
out
from
there till
you
have
made payment
of
the very
last farthing.
\VS{27}You
have knowledge
that
it
was
said,
You may
not
have connection with another man's wife:
\VS{28}But
I
say
to
you
that
everyone
whose eyes
are turned
on
a
woman
with
desire
has
had connection
with
her
in
his
heart.
\VS{29}And
if
your
right
eye
is
a
cause
of trouble
to
you,
take
it
out
and
put
it
away
from
you;
because
it
is better
to undergo
the loss
of
one
part,
than
for
all
your
body
to go
into
hell.
\VS{30}And
if
your
right
hand
is
a
cause
of trouble
to
you,
let
it
be
cut
off
and
put
it
away
from
you;
because
it
is better
to undergo
the loss
of
one
part,
than
for
all
your
body
to
go
into
hell.
\VS{31}Again,
it
was
said,
Whoever
puts
away
his
wife
has
to
give
her
a statement
in writing
for
this
purpose:
\VS{32}But
I
say
to
you
that
everyone
who
puts
away
his
wife
for
any
other
cause
but
the loss
of
her virtue,
makes
her false
to
her husband;
and
whoever takes
her
as
his
wife
after
she
is
put
away,
is no true husband
to
her.
\VS{33}Again,
you
have knowledge
that
it
was
said
in
old times,
Do
not take
false
oaths,
but
give effect
to
your
oaths
to
the
Lord:
\VS{34}But
I
say
to
you, Take
no oaths
at
all:
not
by
the
heaven,
because
it
is
the seat
of
God;
\VS{35}Or
by
the
earth,
because
it
is
the resting-place
for
his
foot;
or
by
Jerusalem,
because
it
is
the
town
of
the
great
King.
\VS{36}You
may
not take
an
oath
by
your
head,
because
you
are
not
able
to
make
one
hair
white
or
black.
\VS{37}But
let
your
words
be simply,
Yes
or
No:
and whatever
is
more
than
these
is
of
the
Evil
One.
\VS{38}You
have knowledge
that
it
was
said,
An
eye
for
an
eye,
and
a
tooth
for
a
tooth:
\VS{39}But
I
say
to
you,
Do
not
make use
of force
against
an
evil
man;
but
to
him
who
gives
you
a blow
on
the
right side
of
your face
let
the left
be
turned.
\VS{40}And
if any man
goes
to
law
with
you
and
takes
away
your
coat,
do
not keep
back
your
robe
from
him.
\VS{41}And
whoever makes
you
go
one
mile,
go
with
him
two.
\VS{42}Give
to
him
who
comes
with
a
request,
and
keep
not
your property
from
him
who
would
for
a time
make use
of
it.
\VS{43}You
have knowledge
that
it
was
said,
Have
love
for
your neighbour,
and
hate
for
him
who
is against
you:
\VS{44}But
I
say
to
you,
Have
love
for
those
who
are against
you,
and
make
prayer
for
those
who
are cruel
to
you;
\VS{45}So
that
you
may
be
the
sons
of
your
Father
in
heaven;
for
his
sun gives light
to
the
evil
and
to
the
good,
and
he
sends
rain
on
the
upright
man
and
on
the sinner.
\VS{46}For
if
you
have
love
for
those
who
have
love
for
you,
what credit
is
it
to
you?
do
not
the tax-farmers
the
same?
\VS{47}And
if
you say, Good day,
to
your
brothers
only,
what
do
you
do
more
than
others?
do
not
even
the
Gentiles
the
same?
\VS{48}Be
then
complete
in righteousness, even
as
your
Father
in
heaven
is
complete.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Take
care
not
to
do
your good works
before
men,
to
be
seen
by
them;
or
you
will
have
no
reward
from
your
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{2}When
then
you
give
money
to
the poor,
do
not
make
a noise
about
it,
as
the false-hearted
men
do
in
the
Synagogues
and
in
the
streets,
so
that
they
may
have
glory
from
men.
Truly,
I
say
to
you,
They
have
their
reward.
\VS{3}But
when
you
give
money,
let
not
your
left
hand
see
what
your
right
hand
does:
\VS{4}So
that
your
giving
may
be
in
secret;
and
your
Father,
who
sees
in
secret,
will
give
you
your
reward.
\VS{5}And
when
you
make
your
prayers,
be
not
like
the false-hearted
men,
who take pleasure
in getting up
and
saying
their
prayers
in
the
Synagogues
and
at
the
street turnings
so
that
they
may
be
seen
by
men.
Truly
I
say
to
you,
They
have
their
reward.
\VS{6}But
when
you
make
your
prayer,
go
into
your private
room,
and, shutting
the
door, say
a
prayer
to
your
Father
in
secret,
and
your
Father,
who
sees
in
secret,
will
give
you
your
reward.
\VS{7}And
in
your
prayer
do
not
make
use
of
the
same
words again
and again,
as
the
Gentiles
do:
for
they
have
the idea
that
God
will give attention
to
them
because
of
the
number
of
their
words.
\VS{8}So
be
not
like
them;
because
your
Father
has knowledge
of
your
needs
even
before
you
make
your requests
to
him.
\VS{9}Let
this
then
be
your
prayer:
Our
Father
in
heaven,
may
your
name
be kept
holy.
\VS{10}Let
your
kingdom
come.
Let
your pleasure
be
done,
as
in
heaven,
so
on
earth.
\VS{11}Give
us
this
day
bread
for our needs.
\VS{12}And make
us free
of
our
debts,
as
we
have made
those free
who
are
in debt
to
us.
\VS{13}And let
us
not
be put
to
the test,
but
keep
us safe
from
the
Evil
One.
\VS{14}For
if
you
let
men
have forgiveness
for
their
sins,
you
will
have forgiveness
from
your
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{15}But
if
you
do
not
let
men
have forgiveness
for
their
sins,
you
will
not
have forgiveness
from
your
Father
for
your
sins.
\VS{16}And
when
you go
without food,
be
not sad-faced
as
the false-hearted
are.
For
they go
about
with changed looks,
so
that
men
may see
that
they
are going
without food.
Truly
I
say
to
you,
They
have
their
reward.
\VS{17}But
when
you go
without food, put oil
on
your
head
and make
your
face clean;
\VS{18}So
that
no
one
may
see
that
you
are going
without food,
but
your
Father
in
secret;
and
your
Father,
who
sees
in
secret,
will
give
you
your
reward.
\VS{19}Make
no
store
of wealth
for
yourselves
on
earth,
where
it
may
be turned
to dust
by worms
and weather,
and
where
thieves
may come
in
by force
and take
it
away.
\VS{20}But
make
a
store
for
yourselves
in
heaven,
where
it
will
not
be turned
to dust
and
where
thieves
do
not come
in
to take
it
away:
\VS{21}For
where
your wealth
is,
there
will
your
heart
be.
\VS{22}The
light
of
the
body
is
the
eye;
if
then
your
eye
is true,
all
your
body
will
be
full
of
light.
\VS{23}But
if
your
eye
is
evil,
all
your
body
will
be
dark.
If
then
the
light
which
is
in
you
is
dark,
how
dark
it
will
be!
\VS{24}No
man
is
able
to
be
a servant
to
two
masters:
for
he
will
have
hate
for
the
one
and
love
for
the
other,
or
he
will keep
to
one
and
have
no
respect
for
the
other.
You
may
not
be servants
of
God
and
of
wealth.
\VS{25}So
I
say
to
you, Take
no
thought
for
your
life,
about
food
or drink,
or
about
clothing
for
your
body.
Is
not
life
more
than
food,
and
the
body
more
than
its
clothing?
\VS{26}See
the
birds
of
heaven;
they
do
not put seeds
in
the earth,
they
do
not get
in grain,
or put
it
in store-houses;
and
your
Father
in
heaven gives
them food.
Are
you
not
of
much
more value
than
they?
\VS{27}And
which
of
you
by taking thought
is
able
to make
himself
a cubit taller?
\VS{28}And
why
are
you troubled
about
clothing? See
the flowers
of
the
field,
how
they come up;
they
do
no
work,
they
make
no thread:
\VS{29}But
I
say
to
you
that
even
Solomon
in
all
his
glory
was
not
clothed
like
one
of
these.
\VS{30}But
if
God gives
such clothing
to
the
grass
of
the
field,
which
is
here
today
and
tomorrow
is
put
into
the oven,
will
he
not
much
more give
you clothing, O
you
of little faith?
\VS{31}Then
do
not
be full
of
care,
saying,
What
are
we
to
have
for
food
or
drink?
or,
With
what
may
we
be
clothed?
\VS{32}Because
the
Gentiles go
in search
of
all
these
things:
for
your
Father
in
heaven
has knowledge
that
you
have
need
of
all
these
things:
\VS{33}But let
your
first care
be
for
his
kingdom
and
his
righteousness;
and
all
these
other
things
will
be
given
to
you
in addition.
\VS{34}Then
have
no
care
for
tomorrow:
tomorrow
will take
care
of
itself. Take
the
trouble
of
the
day
as
it comes.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Be
not
judges of others,
and
you will
not
be
judged.
\VS{2}For
as
you
have
been
judging,
so
you
will
be
judged,
and
with
your
measure
will
it
be
measured
to
you.
\VS{3}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{4}Or
how
will
you
say
to
your
brother,
Let
me take
out
the grain
of dust
from
your
eye,
when
you
yourself
have
a bit
of wood
in
your
eye?
\VS{5}You false
one,
first take
out
the bit
of wood
from
your
eye,
then
will
you
see
clearly
to take
out
the grain
of dust
from
your brother's
eye.
\VS{6}Do
not
give
that
which
is
holy
to
the
dogs,
or
put
your jewels
before
pigs,
for fear
that
they
will
be crushed
under
foot
by
the
pigs
whose attack
will
then
be made
against
you.
\VS{7}Make
a
request,
and
it
will
be answered;
what
you
are
searching
for
you
will
get;
give
the sign,
and
the door
will
be
open
to
you:
\VS{8}Because
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{9}Or
which
of
you, if
his
son makes
a
request
for
bread,
will
give
him
a
stone?
\VS{10}Or
if
he makes
a
request
for
a
fish,
will
give
him
a
snake?
\VS{11}If
you,
then,
being
evil,
are able
to
give
good
things
to
your
children,
how
much
more
will
your
Father
in
heaven
give
good
things
to
those
who
make requests
to
him?
\VS{12}All
those
things,
then,
which
you
would
have
men
do
to
you,
even
so
do
you
to
them:
because
this
is
the
law
and
the
prophets.
\VS{13}Go
in
by
the
narrow door;
for
wide
is
the door
and open
is
the
way
which goes
to
destruction,
and
great
numbers
go
in
by
it.
\VS{14}For
narrow
is
the door
and hard
the
road
to
life,
and
only
a
small
number make discovery
of
it.
\VS{15}Be
on
the
watch
for
false
prophets,
who
come
to
you
in sheep's
clothing,
but
inside
they
are cruel
wolves.
\VS{16}By
their
fruits
you
will get knowledge
of
them.
Do
men get
grapes
from
thorns
or
figs
from
thistles?
\VS{17}Even
so,
every
good
tree
gives
good
fruit;
but
the
bad
tree
gives
evil
fruit.
\VS{18}It
is
not possible
for
a
good
tree
to
give
bad
fruit,
and
a
bad
tree
will
not
give
good
fruit.
\VS{19}Every
tree
which
does
not
give
good
fruit
is
cut
down
and
put
in
the
fire.
\VS{20}So
by
their
fruits
you
will get knowledge
of
them.
\VS{21}Not
everyone
who
says
to
me,
Lord,
Lord,
will
go
into
the
kingdom
of
heaven;
but
he
who
does
the pleasure
of
my
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{22}A
great
number
will
say
to
me
on
that
day,
Lord,
Lord,
were
we
not prophets
in
your
name,
and
did
we
not
by
your
name
send
out evil spirits,
and
by
your
name
do works
of
power?
\VS{23}And
then
will
I
say
to
them,
I
never
had knowledge
of
you: go
from
me,
you workers
of evil.
\VS{24}Everyone,
then,
to
whom
my
words
come
and
who
does
them,
will
be
like
a
wise
man
who
made
his
house
on
a
rock;
\VS{25}And
the
rain
came
down
and there
was
a rush
of waters
and
the
winds
were driving
against
that
house,
but
it
was
not moved;
because
it
was based
on
the
rock.
\VS{26}And
everyone
to
whom
my
words
come
and
who
does
them
not,
will
be
like
a
foolish
man
who
made
his
house
on
sand;
\VS{27}And
the
rain
came
down
and
there
was
a rush
of waters
and
the
winds
were driving
against
that
house;
and
it
came
down
and
great
was
its
fall.
\VS{28}And
it
came
about,
when
Jesus
had
come
to
the
end
of
these
words,
that
the
people
were surprised
at
his
teaching,
\VS{29}for
he
was
teaching
as
one
having
authority,
and
not
as
their
scribes.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
he
had
come
down
from
the
mountain,
great
numbers
of
people
came
after
him.
\VS{2}And
a
leper
came
and gave
him
worship,
saying,
Lord,
if
it
is
your pleasure,
you
have
power
to
make
me
clean.
\VS{3}And
he put
his
hand
on
him,
saying,
It
is
my pleasure;
be
clean.
And straight away
he
was
made
clean.
\VS{4}And
Jesus
said
to
him,
See
that
you
say
nothing
about
this
to
anyone;
but
go
and
let
the
priest
see
you
and
make
the
offering
which
was
ordered
by
Moses,
for
a
witness
to
them.
\VS{5}And
when
Jesus
was
come
into
Capernaum,
a certain captain
came
to
him
with
a request,
\VS{6}Saying,
Lord,
my
servant
is ill
in bed
at
the
house,
with no power
in
his body,
and
in great
pain.
\VS{7}And
he
said
to
him,
I
will
come
and make
him
well.
\VS{8}And
the captain
in
answer
said,
Lord,
I
am
not
good
enough
for
you
to
come
under
my
roof;
but
only
say
the
word,
and
my
servant
will
be
made
well.
\VS{9}Because
I
myself
am
a
man
under
authority,
having
under
me fighting
men;
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{10}And
when
these
words
came
to
the
ears
of
Jesus
he
was
surprised,
and
said
to
those
who
came
after
him,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
I
have
not seen
such
great
faith,
no,
not
in
Israel.
\VS{11}And
I
say
to
you
that
numbers
will
come
from
the
east
and
the
west,
and
will
take
their seats
with
Abraham
and
Isaac
and
Jacob,
in
the
kingdom
of
heaven:
\VS{12}But
the
sons
of
the
kingdom
will
be
put
out
into
the dark,
and
there
will
be
weeping
and cries
of pain.
\VS{13}And
Jesus
said
to
the captain,
Go
in peace;
as
your
faith
is,
so
let
it
be
done
to
you.
And
the
servant
was
made
well
in
that
hour.
\VS{14}And
when
Jesus
had
come
into Peter's
house,
he
saw
his wife's mother
in bed,
very ill.
\VS{15}And
he put
his
hand
on hers
and
the disease went
from
her,
and
she
got
up
and took
care
of
his needs.
\VS{16}And
in
the
evening,
they
took
to
him
a
number
of
people
who
had
evil
spirits;
and
he
sent
the
spirits
out
of
them
with
a
word,
and
made
well
all
who
were ill;
\VS{17}So
that
the word
of
Isaiah
the
prophet
might
come true:
He
himself
took
our pains
and
our
diseases.
\VS{18}Now
when
Jesus
saw
a
great mass
of
people
about
him,
he
gave
an
order
to
go
to
the
other
side.
\VS{19}And
there
came
a
scribe
and
said
to
him, Master,
I
will
come
after
you
wherever
you
go.
\VS{20}And
Jesus
said
to
him,
The
foxes
have
holes,
and
the
birds
of
heaven
have
a resting-place;
but
the
Son
of
man
has nowhere
to
put
his
head.
\VS{21}And
another
of
the
disciples
said
to
him,
Lord,
let
me
first
go
and
give
the last honours
to
my
father.
\VS{22}But
Jesus
said
to
him, Come
after
me;
and
let
the
dead take care
of
their
dead.
\VS{23}And
when
he
had
got
into
a
boat,
his
disciples
went
after
him.
\VS{24}And
there
came up
a
great
storm
in
the
sea,
so
that
the
boat
was
covered
with
the
waves:
but
he
was
sleeping.
\VS{25}And
they
came
to
him,
and, awaking
him,
said, Help,
Lord; destruction
is
near.
\VS{26}And
he
said
to
them,
Why
are
you full
of fear, O
you
of little faith?
Then
he
got
up
and gave orders
to
the
winds
and
the
sea;
and
there
was
a
great
calm.
\VS{27}And
the
men
were full
of
wonder,
saying,
What
sort
of
man
is
this,
that
even
the
winds
and
the
sea
do
his orders?
\VS{28}And
when
he
had
come
to
the
other
side,
to
the
country
of
the
Gadarenes,
there
came
out
to
him
from
the place
of
the dead,
two
who
had evil spirits,
so
violent
that
no
man
was
able
to
go
that
way.
\VS{29}And
they gave
a loud
cry,
saying,
What
have
we
to
do
with
you,
you
Son
of
God?
Have
you
come
here
to
give
us punishment
before
the
time?
\VS{30}Now
there
was,
some
distance
away,
a
great
herd
of
pigs taking
their food.
\VS{31}And
the evil spirits
made strong prayers
to
him,
saying,
If
you
send
us
out,
let
us go
into
the
herd
of
pigs.
\VS{32}And
he
said
to
them,
Go.
And
they
came
out,
and
went
into
the
pigs;
and
the
herd
went rushing
down
a sharp slope
into
the
sea
and
came
to
their
end
in
the
water.
\VS{33}And
their keepers
went
in flight
to
the
town
and gave
an account
of
everything,
and
of
the
men
who
had
the evil spirits.
\VS{34}And
all
the
town
came
out
to
Jesus;
and
seeing
him
they made request
that
he
would
go
away
from
their
part
of
the country.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
got
into
a
boat
and
went across
and
came
to
his
town.
\VS{2}And
they took
to
him
a man stretched
on
a
bed
who
had no power
of moving;
and
Jesus,
seeing
their
faith,
said
to
the man
who
was ill,
Son,
take heart;
you
have forgiveness
for
your
sins.
\VS{3}And
some
of
the
scribes
said
among
themselves,
This
man
has no respect
for
God.
\VS{4}And
Jesus, having knowledge
of
what
was
in
their
minds,
said,
Why
are
your
thoughts
evil?
\VS{5}For
which
is
the simpler,
to
say,
You
have forgiveness
for
your
sins;
or
to
say,
Get
up
and
go?
\VS{6}But
so
that
you
may
see
that
on
earth
the
Son
of
man
has
authority
for
the forgiveness
of
sins, (then
said
he
to
the
man
who
was ill,)
Get
up,
and
take
up
your
bed,
and
go
to
your
house.
\VS{7}And
he
got
up
and
went
away
to
his
house.
\VS{8}But
when
the
people
saw
it
they
were
full
of
fear,
and
gave
glory
to
God
who
had
given
such
authority
to
men.
\VS{9}And
when
Jesus
was
going
from
there,
he
saw
a
man
whose name
was
Matthew,
seated
at
the
place where taxes
were taken;
and
he
said
to
him, Come
after
me.
And
he
got
up
and
went
after
him.
\VS{10}And
it
came
about,
when
he
was
in
the
house
taking food,
that
a
number
of tax-farmers
and
sinners
came
and
took
their places
with
Jesus
and
his
disciples.
\VS{11}And
when
the
Pharisees
saw
it,
they
said
to
his
disciples,
Why
does
your Master take food
with tax-farmers
and
sinners?
\VS{12}But
on
hearing
this
he
said,
Those
who
are well
have
no
need
of
a medical man,
but
those
who
are ill.
\VS{13}But
go
and take
to heart
the sense
of these
words,
My
desire
is
for
mercy,
not offerings:
for
I
have
come
not
to get
the
upright,
but
sinners.
\VS{14}Then
the
disciples
of
John
came
to
him,
saying,
Why
do
we
and
the
Pharisees frequently
go
without food,
but
your
disciples
do
not?
\VS{15}And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Will
the friends
of
the newly-married
man
be sad
as
long
as
he
is
with
them?
But
the
days
will
come
when
he
will
be
taken
away
from
them,
and
then
will
they
go
without food.
\VS{16}And
no
man
puts
a bit
of new
cloth
on
an
old
coat,
for
by pulling
away
from
the
old,
it makes
a
worse hole.
\VS{17}And men
do
not
put
new
wine
into
old wine-skins;
or
the
skins
will
be
burst
and
the
wine
will come
out,
and
the
skins
are
of
no more use:
but
they
put
new
wine
into
new wine-skins,
and
so
the two
will
be
safe.
\VS{18}While
he
was
saying
these
things
to
them,
there
came
a
ruler
and
gave
him
worship,
saying,
My
daughter
is
even
now dead;
but
come
and
put
your
hand
on
her,
and
she
will
come
back
to
life.
\VS{19}And
Jesus
got
up
and went
after
him,
and
so did
his
disciples.
\VS{20}And
a
woman,
who
for
twelve
years
had
had
a flow
of blood,
came
after
him,
and put
her hand
on
the edge
of
his
robe:
\VS{21}Because,
she
said
to
herself,
if
I
may
but put
my hand
on
his
robe,
I
will
be
made
well.
\VS{22}But
Jesus,
turning
and
seeing
her,
said,
Daughter,
take heart;
your
faith
has
made
you
well.
And
the
woman
was
made
well
from
that
hour.
\VS{23}And
when
Jesus
came
into
the ruler's
house
and
saw
the players
with
their instruments
and
the
people making
a noise,
\VS{24}He
said,
Make room;
for
the
girl
is
not
dead,
but
sleeping.
And
they
were
laughing
at
him.
\VS{25}But
when
the
people
were
sent
out,
he
went
in
and
took
her
by
the
hand;
and
the
girl
got
up.
\VS{26}And
the
news
of
it
went
out
into
all
that
land.
\VS{27}And
when
Jesus
went
on
from
there,
two
blind
men came
after
him,
crying
out,
Have
mercy
on
us,
you
Son
of
David.
\VS{28}And
when
he
had
come
into
the
house,
the
blind
men
came
to
him;
and
Jesus
said
to
them,
Have
you
faith
that
I
am
able
to
do
this?
They
said
to
him,
Yes,
Lord.
\VS{29}Then
he
put
his hand
on
their
eyes,
saying,
As
your
faith
is,
let
it
be
done
to
you.
\VS{30}And
their
eyes
were
made
open.
And
Jesus
said
to
them sharply,
Let
no
man
have knowledge
of
it.
\VS{31}But
they
went
out
and gave
news
of
him
in
all
that
land.
\VS{32}And
while
they
were
going
away,
there
came
to
him
a
man without
the power
of talking,
and
with
an evil spirit.
\VS{33}And
when
the evil spirit
had
been
sent
out,
the
man
had
the power
of
talking:
and
they
were
all
surprised,
saying,
Such
a
thing
has
never
been
seen
in
Israel.
\VS{34}But
the
Pharisees
said,
By
the
ruler
of evil spirits,
he sends evil spirits
out
of men.
\VS{35}And
Jesus
went
about
all
the
towns
and small places,
teaching
in
their
Synagogues
and
preaching
the
good
news
of
the
kingdom
and making
well
all sorts
of
disease
and pain.
\VS{36}But
when
he
saw
all
the
people
he
was
moved
with
pity
for
them,
because
they
were troubled
and wandering
like
sheep
without
a keeper.
\VS{37}Then
he
said
to
his
disciples,
There
is
much grain
but
not
enough
men
to get
it
in.
\VS{38}Make prayer,
then,
to
the
Lord
of
the grain-fields,
that
he
may
send
out
workers
to get
in
his grain.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he got
together
his
twelve
disciples
and
gave
them
the
power
of driving
out
unclean
spirits,
and
of making
well
all sorts
of
disease
and pain.
\VS{2}Now
the
names
of
the
twelve
are
these:
The
first,
Simon,
who
is
named
Peter,
and
Andrew,
his
brother;
James,
the son
of
Zebedee,
and
John,
his
brother;
\VS{3}Philip
and
Bartholomew;
Thomas
and
Matthew,
the tax-farmer;
James,
the son
of Alphaeus,
and
Thaddaeus;
\VS{4}Simon
the
Zealot,
and
Judas
Iscariot,
who
was false
to
him.
\VS{5}These
twelve
Jesus
sent
out
and
gave
them
orders,
saying,
Do
not
go
among
the
Gentiles,
or
into any
town
of Samaria,
\VS{6}But
go
to
the wandering
sheep
of
the
house
of
Israel,
\VS{7}And,
on
your
way,
say,
The
kingdom
of
heaven
is
near.
\VS{8}Make well those
who
are
ill,
give life
to
the
dead,
make
lepers
clean,
send evil spirits
out
of
men;
freely
it
has been
given
to
you,
freely
give.
\VS{9}Take
no
gold
or
silver
or
copper
in
your pockets;
\VS{10}Take
no
bag
for
your
journey
and
do
not take
two
coats
or
shoes
or
a stick:
for
the
workman
has
a
right
to
his
food.
\VS{11}And
into
whatever
town
or small
place
you
go, make
search
there
for
someone
who
is respected,
and make
his
house
your resting-place till
you
go
away.
\VS{12}And
when
you
go
in, say,
May peace be
on
this
house.
\VS{13}And
if
the
house
is
good enough,
let
your
peace
come
on
it:
but
if
not,
let
your
peace
come
back
to
you.
\VS{14}And
whoever
will
not
take
you
in,
or
give ear
to
your
words,
when
you
go
out
from
that
house
or
that
town, put
off
its
dust
from
your
feet.
\VS{15}Truly
I
say
to
you,
It
will
be better
for
the
land
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
in
the
day
of God's judging
than
for
that
town.
\VS{16}See,
I
send
you
out
as
sheep
among
wolves.
Be
then
as
wise
as
snakes,
and
as gentle
as
doves.
\VS{17}But
be
on
the
watch
against
men:
for
they
will
give
you
up
to
the Sanhedrins,
and
in
their
Synagogues
they
will
give
you blows;
\VS{18}And
you
will
come
before rulers
and
kings
because
of
me,
for
a
witness
to
them
and
to
the
Gentiles.
\VS{19}But
when
you
are
given
up
into
their
hands,
do
not
be troubled
about
what
to
say
or
how
to
say
it:
for
in
that
hour
what
you
are
to
say
will
be
given
to
you;
\VS{20}Because
it
is
not
you
who
say
the words,
but
the
Spirit
of
your
Father
in
you.
\VS{21}And
brother
will give
up
brother
to
death,
and
the
father
his
child:
and
children
will go
against
their
fathers
and mothers,
and
put
them
to
death.
\VS{22}And
you
will
be
hated
by
all
men
because
of
my
name:
but
he
who
is strong
to
the
end
will
have
salvation.
\VS{23}But
when
they
are cruel
to
you
in
one
town,
go
in flight
to
another:
for
truly,
I
say
to
you,
You
will
not
have gone
through
the
towns
of
Israel
before
the
Son
of
man
comes.
\VS{24}A
disciple
is
not greater
than
his
master,
or
a
servant
than
his
lord.
\VS{25}It
is
enough
for
the
disciple
that
he
may
be
as
his
master,
and
the
servant
as
his
lord.
If
they
have given
the name Beelzebub
to
the
master
of
the
house,
how
much
more
to
those
of
his
house!
\VS{26}Have,
then,
no
fear
of
them:
because
nothing
is
covered
which
will
not
come
to light,
or
secret
which
will
not
be
made clear.
\VS{27}What
I
say
to
you
in
the
dark,
say
in
the
light:
and
what
comes
to
your
ear secretly,
say publicly
from
the house-tops.
\VS{28}And
have
no
fear
of
those
who
put
to
death
the
body,
but
are
not
able
to
put
to
death
the
soul.
But
have
fear
of
him
who
has
power
to give
soul
and
body
to destruction
in
hell.
\VS{29}Are
not
sparrows
two
a farthing?
and
not
one
of
them
comes
to
an end
without
your
Father:
\VS{30}But
the
hairs
of
your
head
are
all
numbered.
\VS{31}Then
have
no
fear;
you
are
of
more value
than
a flock
of
sparrows.
\VS{32}To
everyone,
then,
who gives witness
to
me
before
men,
I
will
give witness
before
my
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{33}But
if
anyone says
before
men
that
he
has no knowledge
of
me,
I
will
say
that
I
have no knowledge
of
him
before
my
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{34}Do
not
have
the
thought
that
I
have
come
to send
peace
on
the
earth;
I
came
not
to send
peace
but
a
sword.
\VS{35}For
I
have
come
to put
a
man
against
his
father,
and
the
daughter
against
her
mother,
and
the
daughter-in-law
against
her
mother-in-law:
\VS{36}And
a
man
will
be hated
by
those
of
his house.
\VS{37}He
who
has
more
love
for
his
father
or
mother
than
for
me
is
not
good enough
for
me;
he
who
has
more
love
for
son
or
daughter
than
for
me
is
not
good enough
for
me.
\VS{38}And
he
who
does
not
take
his
cross
and
come
after
me
is
not
good enough
for
me.
\VS{39}He
who
has
the desire
to keep
his
life
will
have
it taken
from
him,
and
he
who gives up
his
life
because
of
me
will
have
it given back
to
him.
\VS{40}He
who gives honour
to
you gives honour
to
me;
and
he
who gives honour
to
me gives honour
to
him
who
sent
me.
\VS{41}He
who gives honour
to
a
prophet,
in
the
name
of
a
prophet,
will
be given
a prophet's
reward;
and
he
who gives honour
to
an
upright
man,
in
the
name
of
an
upright
man,
will
be given
an
upright man's
reward.
\VS{42}And
whoever
gives
to
one
of
these
little
ones
a
cup
of
cold
water
only,
in
the
name
of
a
disciple,
truly
I
say
to
you,
he
will
not go
without
his
reward.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
about
that
when
Jesus
had
come
to
the end
of
giving
these
orders
to
his
twelve
disciples,
he
went away
from
there,
teaching
and
preaching
in
their
towns.
\VS{2}Now
when
John
had news
in
prison
of
the
works
of
the
Christ,
he
sent
his
disciples
\VS{3}To
say
to
him,
Are
you
he
who
is
to
come,
or
are
we
waiting
for
another?
\VS{4}And
Jesus,
answering,
said
to
them,
Go
and
give news
to
John
of
the
things
which
you
are
seeing
and
hearing:
\VS{5}The
blind
see;
those
who
were
not able
to,
are
walking;
lepers
are made
clean;
those
who
were
without
hearing,
now
have
their
ears open;
the
dead
come
to
life
again,
and
the
poor
have
the
good
news
given
to
them.
\VS{6}And
a blessing
will
be
on
him
who
has
no doubts
about
me.
\VS{7}And
when
they
were
going
away,
Jesus,
talking
of
John,
said
to
all
the
people,
What
went
you
out
into
the waste land
to
see?
a tall stem moving
in
the
wind?
\VS{8}But
what
went
you
out
to
see?
a
man delicately clothed?
Those
who
have fair robes
are
in kings' houses.
\VS{9}But
why
did
you
go
out?
to
see
a
prophet?
Yes,
I
say
to
you,
and more
than
a
prophet.
\VS{10}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{11}Truly
I
say
to
you,
Among
the sons
of
women
there
has
not
been
a
greater
than
John
the
Baptist:
but
he
who
is
least
in
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
greater
than
he.
\VS{12}And
from
the
days
of
John
the
Baptist till
now,
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
forcing
its
way
in,
and
men
of
force
take
it.
\VS{13}For
all
the
prophets
and
the
law
were
in force till
John.
\VS{14}And
if
you
are able
to see
it,
this
is
Elijah
who
was
to
come.
\VS{15}He
who
has
ears, let
him
give
ear.
\VS{16}But
what comparison
may
I make
of
this
generation?
It
is
like
children
seated
in
the market-places, crying
out
to
one
another,
\VS{17}We
made music
for
you
and
you did
not take part
in
the
dance;
we gave cries
of sorrow
and
you
made
no signs
of grief.
\VS{18}For
John
came, taking
no food
or
drink,
and
they
say,
He
has
an evil spirit.
\VS{19}The
Son
of
man
has
come feasting,
and
they
say,
See,
a lover
of food
and wine,
a
friend
of tax-farmers
and
sinners!
And
wisdom
is judged
to
be right
by
her
works.
\VS{20}Then
he
went
on
to say
hard
things
to
the
towns
where
most
of
his works
of
power
were
done,
because
they
had
not
been
turned
from
their sins.
\VS{21}Unhappy
are
you,
Chorazin! Unhappy
are
you, Beth-saida!
For
if
the works
of
power
which
were
done
in
you
had
been
done
in
Tyre
and
Sidon,
they
would
have
been
turned
from
their sins
in days gone
by, clothing
themselves
in haircloth
and putting dust
on
their heads.
\VS{22}But
I
say
to
you,
It
will
be better
for
Tyre
and
Sidon
in
the
day
of judging,
than
for
you.
\VS{23}And
you,
Capernaum,
were
you
not
to
be
lifted up
to
heaven?
you
will
go
down
into
hell:
for
if
the works
of
power
which
were
done
in
you
had
been
done
in
Sodom,
it
would
have
been
here
to
this
day.
\VS{24}But
I
say
to
you
that
it
will
be better
for
the
land
of
Sodom
in
the
day
of judging,
than
for
you.
\VS{25}At
that
time
Jesus
made
answer
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.
\VS{26}Yes,
Father,
for
so
it
was pleasing
in
your eyes.
\VS{27}All
things
have
been
given
to
me
by
my
Father;
and
no
one
has knowledge
of
the
Son,
but
the
Father;
and
no
one
has knowledge
of
the
Father,
but
the
Son,
and
he
to
whom
the
Son
will
make
it clear.
\VS{28}Come
to
me,
all
you
who
are troubled
and weighted
down
with care,
and
I
will
give
you
rest.
\VS{29}Take
my
yoke
on
you
and become like
me,
for
I
am
gentle
and
without pride,
and
you
will
have
rest
for
your
souls;
\VS{30}For
my
yoke
is
good,
and
the weight
I take up
is
not hard.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At
that
time
Jesus
went
through
the fields
on
the
Sabbath
day;
and
his
disciples, being
in need
of food,
were taking
the
heads
of
grain.
\VS{2}But
the
Pharisees,
when
they
saw
it,
said
to
him,
See,
your
disciples
do
that
which
it
is
not right
to
do
on
the
Sabbath.
\VS{3}But
he
said
to
them,
Have
you
no knowledge
of
what
David
did
when
he
had need
of food,
and
those
who
were
with
him?
\VS{4}How
he
went
into
the
house
of
God
and took
for
food
the holy
bread
which
it
was
not
right
for
him
or
for
those
who
were
with
him
to take,
but
only
for
the
priests?
\VS{5}Or
is
it
not
said
in
the
law,
how
the
Sabbath
is broken
by
the
priests
in
the
Temple
and
they
do
no wrong?
\VS{6}But
I
say
to
you
that
a
greater
thing
than
the
Temple
is
here.
\VS{7}But
if
these
words
had
been
in
your minds,
My
desire
is
for
mercy
and
not
for offerings,
you
would
not
have
been judging
those
who
have done
no wrong.
\VS{8}For
the
Son
of
man
is
lord
of
the
Sabbath.
\VS{9}And
he
went
from
there
into
their
Synagogue:
\VS{10}And
there
was
a
man
with
a dead
hand.
And
they put
a
question
to
him,
saying,
Is
it right
to
make
a
man
well
on
the
Sabbath
day?
so
that
they
might
have
something
against
him.
\VS{11}And
he
said
to
them,
Which
of
you,
having
a
sheep,
if
it
gets
into
a hole
on
the
Sabbath
day,
will
not put
out
a helping
hand
and
get
it
back?
\VS{12}Of
how
much
more value
is
a
man
than
a
sheep!
For
this reason
it
is
right
to
do
good
on
the
Sabbath
day.
\VS{13}Then
said
he
to
the
man, Put
out
your
hand.
And
he put
it
out,
and
it
was
made
as
well
as
the
other.
\VS{14}But
the
Pharisees
went
out
and made designs
against
him,
how
they might
put
him
to
death.
\VS{15}And
Jesus, having knowledge
of
this,
went away
from
there,
and
a
great
number
went
after
him;
and
he made
them
all
well,
\VS{16}Ordering
them
not
to
give
people word
of
him:
\VS{17}So
that
what
was
said
by
Isaiah
the
prophet might
come true,
\VS{18}See
my
servant,
the man
of
my selection,
my loved
one
in
whom
my
soul
is
well
pleased:
I
will
put
my
Spirit
on
him,
and
he
will
make
my decision clear
to
the
Gentiles.
\VS{19}His coming
will
not
be
with fighting
or loud cries;
and
his
voice
will
not
be lifted up
in
the
streets.
\VS{20}The crushed stem
will
not
be
broken
by
him;
and
the feebly burning light
will
he
not
put
out, till
he
has made righteousness overcome
all.
\VS{21}And
in
his
name
will
the
Gentiles put
their
hope.
\VS{22}Then
they took
to
him
one
with
an evil spirit,
who
was
blind
and
had no power
of
talking:
and
he
made
him
well
so
that
he
had
the power
of
talking
and
seeing.
\VS{23}And
all
the
people
were surprised
and
said,
Is
not
this
the
Son
of
David?
\VS{24}But
the
Pharisees,
hearing
of
it,
said,
This
man
only sends evil spirits
out
of
men
by Beelzebub,
the
ruler
of evil spirits.
\VS{25}And
having knowledge
of
their
thoughts
he
said
to
them,
Every
kingdom
having division
in
itself
is
made
waste,
and
every
town
or
house
having division
in
itself
will
come
to destruction.
\VS{26}And
if
Satan sends
out
Satan,
he makes war
against
himself;
how
then
will
he keep
his
kingdom?
\VS{27}And
if
I
by Beelzebub
send evil spirits
out
of
men,
by
whom
do
your
sons
send
them
out?
So
let
them
be
your
judges.
\VS{28}But
if
I
by
the
Spirit
of
God
send
out evil
spirits,
then
is
the
kingdom
of
God
come
on
you.
\VS{29}Or
how
may
one
go
into
a
strong man's
house
and
take
his
goods,
if
he
does
not
first
put cords round
the
strong
man?
and
then
he
may
take
his
goods.
\VS{30}Whoever
is
not
with
me
is
against
me;
and
he
who
does
not take
part
with
me
in getting
people
together,
is driving
them
away.
\VS{31}So
I
say
to
you,
Every
sin
and
every evil word
against
God
will
have forgiveness;
but
for evil
words
against
the
Spirit
there
will
be
no forgiveness.
\VS{32}And
whoever
says
a
word
against
the
Son
of
man,
will
have forgiveness;
but
whoever
says
a
word
against
the
Holy
Spirit,
will
not
have forgiveness
in
this
life
or
in
that
which
is
to
come.
\VS{33}Make
the
tree
good,
and
its
fruit
good;
or
make
the
tree
bad,
and
its
fruit
bad;
for
by
its
fruit
you
will get knowledge
of
the
tree.
\VS{34}You
offspring
of snakes,
how
are
you,
being
evil,
able
to
say
good
things?
because
out
of
the heart's store
come
the
words
of
the
mouth.
\VS{35}The
good
man
out
of
his
good store gives
good
things;
and
the
evil
man
out
of
his
evil store gives
evil
things.
\VS{36}And
I
say
to
you
that
in
the
day
when
they
are judged,
men
will
have
to
give
an
account
of
every foolish
word
they
have
said.
\VS{37}For
by
your
words
will
your righteousness
be seen,
and
by
your
words
you
will
be judged.
\VS{38}Then
some
of
the
scribes
and
Pharisees, hearing
this,
said
to
him, Master,
we
are looking
for
a
sign
from
you.
\VS{39}But
he,
answering,
said
to
them,
An
evil
and false
generation
is looking
for
a
sign;
and
no
sign
will
be
given
to
it
but
the
sign
of
the
prophet
Jonah:
\VS{40}For
as
Jonah
was
three
days
and
three
nights
in
the
stomach
of
the great fish,
so
will
the
Son
of
man
be
three
days
and
three
nights
in
the
heart
of
the
earth.
\VS{41}The
men
of
Nineveh
will come
up
in
the day
of judging
and give
their decision
against
this
generation:
because
they
were turned
from
their sins
at
the
preaching
of
Jonah;
and
now
a
greater
than
Jonah
is
here.
\VS{42}The
queen
of
the
South
will
come
up
in
the day
of judging
and
give
her decision
against
this
generation:
for
she
came
from
the
ends
of
the
earth
to
give ear
to
the
wisdom
of
Solomon;
and
now
a
greater
than
Solomon
is
here.
\VS{43}But
the
unclean
spirit,
when
he
is
gone
out
of
a
man,
goes
through dry
places
looking
for
rest,
and getting
it
not.
\VS{44}Then
he
says,
I
will
go
back
into
my
house
from
which
I
came
out;
and
when
he
comes,
he sees
that
there
is no
one
in
it,
but
that
it
has
been
made fair
and clean.
\VS{45}Then
he
goes
and
takes
with
him
seven
other
spirits
worse
than
himself,
and
they
go
in
and make
it
their living-place:
and
the
last condition
of
that
man
is
worse
than
the
first.
Even
so
will
it
be
with
this
evil
generation.
\VS{46}While
he
was
still
talking
to
the
people,
his
mother
and
his
brothers
came, desiring
to
have talk
with
him.
\VS{47}And
one
said
to
him,
See,
your
mother
and
your
brothers
are
outside, desiring
to
have talk
with
you.
\VS{48}But
he
in
answer
said
to
him
who gave
the news,
Who
is
my
mother
and
who
are
my
brothers?
\VS{49}And
he put
out
his
hand
to
his
disciples
and
said,
See,
my
mother
and
my
brothers!
\VS{50}For
whoever
does
the pleasure
of
my
Father
in
heaven,
he
is
my
brother,
and
sister,
and
mother.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}On
that
day
Jesus
went
out
of
the
house
and
was
seated
by
the seaside.
\VS{2}And
great
numbers
of
people
came
together
to
him,
so
that
he
got
into
a
boat;
and
the
people took
up
their position
by
the sea.
\VS{3}And
he gave
them
teaching
in
the form
of
a story,
saying,
A man
went
out
to put seed
in
the earth;
\VS{4}And
while
he
did
so,
some seeds
were dropped
by
the wayside,
and
the
birds
came
and took
them
for food:
\VS{5}And
some
of
the
seed went
among
the stones,
where
it
had
not
much
earth,
and straight away
it
came
up
because
the
earth
was
not
deep:
\VS{6}And
when
the
sun
was high,
it
was burned;
and
because
it
had
no
root
it became dry
and dead.
\VS{7}And
some seeds
went
among
thorns,
and
the
thorns
came
up
and
they
had no room
for growth:
\VS{8}And
some,
falling
on
good
earth,
gave
fruit,
some
a
hundred,
some
sixty,
some
thirty times
as much.
\VS{9}He
who
has
ears, let
him
give
ear.
\VS{10}And
the
disciples
came
and
said
to
him,
Why
do
you
say
things
to
them
in
the form
of stories?
\VS{11}And
he
said
to
them
in
answer,
To
you
is
given
the knowledge
of
the secrets
of
the
kingdom
of
heaven,
but
to
them
it
is
not
given.
\VS{12}Because
whoever
has,
to
him
will
be
given,
and
he
will
have
more;
but
from
him
who
has
not,
even
what
he
has
will
be
taken
away.
\VS{13}For
this
reason
I put
things
into
the form
of stories;
because
they
see
without
seeing,
and
give ear
without
hearing,
and
the sense
is
not clear
to
them.
\VS{14}And
for
them
the
words
of
Isaiah
have
come true,
Though
you
give ear,
you
will
not get knowledge;
and
seeing,
you
will
see,
but
the sense
will
not
be clear
to
you:
\VS{15}For
the
heart
of
this
people
has
become fat
and
their
ears
are slow
in
hearing
and
their
eyes
are shut;
for fear
that
they
might
see
with
their
eyes
and
give
hearing
with
their
ears
and
become wise
in
their
hearts
and
be
turned
again
to
me,
so
that
I
might make
them
well.
\VS{16}But
a blessing
be
on
your
eyes,
because
they
see;
and
on
your
ears,
because
they
are open.
\VS{17}For
truly,
I
say
to
you
that
prophets
and
upright
men
had
a
desire
to
see
the
things
which
you
see,
and
saw
them
not;
and
to
have knowledge
of
the
words
which
have
come
to
your
ears,
and
they
had
it
not.
\VS{18}Give ear,
then,
to
the story
of
the man
who put
the seed
in
the earth.
\VS{19}When
the
word
of
the
kingdom
comes
to
anyone,
and
the sense
of
it
is
not clear
to
him,
then
the
Evil
One
comes,
and
quickly takes
away
that
which
was put
in
his
heart.
He
is
the seed dropped
by
the wayside.
\VS{20}And
that
which went
on
the stones,
this
is
he
who,
hearing
the
word,
straight
away
takes
it
with
joy;
\VS{21}But
having
no
root
in
himself,
he goes
on
for
a time;
and
when
trouble
comes
or pain,
because
of
the
word,
he
quickly
becomes
full
of doubts.
\VS{22}And
that
which
was dropped
among
the
thorns,
this
is
he
who
has
the
word;
and
the
cares
of
this life,
and
the deceits
of
wealth,
put
a stop
to
the growth
of
the
word
and
it gives no
fruit.
\VS{23}And
the seed
which
was
put
in
good
earth,
this
is
he
who
gives ear
to
the
word,
and gets
the sense
of
it;
who
gives
fruit,
some
a
hundred,
some
sixty,
some
thirty times
as much.
\VS{24}And
he gave
them
another story,
saying,
The
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
a
man
who put
good
seed
in
his
field:
\VS{25}But
while
men
were
sleeping,
one
who
had hate
for
him
came
and put evil seeds
among
the
grain,
and
went
away.
\VS{26}But
when
the green stem came up
and
gave
fruit,
the evil plants
were
seen
at
the
same
time.
\VS{27}And
the
servants
of
the
master
of
the
house
came
and
said
to
him,
Sir,
did
you
not put
good
seed
in
your
field?
how
then
has
it evil plants?
\VS{28}And
he
said,
Someone
has
done
this
in hate.
And
the
servants
say
to
him,
Is
it
your pleasure
that
we
go
and take
them up?
\VS{29}But
he
says,
No,
for fear
that
by chance
while
you take up
the evil plants,
you
may
be rooting up
the
grain
with
them.
\VS{30}Let
them come
up
together till
the getting
in
of
the
grain;
and
then
I
will
say
to
the workers, Take
up
first
the evil plants,
and
put
them
together
for
burning:
but
put
the
grain
into
my store-house.
\VS{31}He
put
another story
before
them,
saying,
The
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
a
grain
of
mustard
seed
which
a
man
took
and
put
in
his
field:
\VS{32}Which
is
smaller
than
all
seeds;
but
when
it
has
come
up
it
is
greater
than
the
plants,
and
becomes
a
tree,
so
that
the
birds
of
heaven
come
and make
their resting-places
in
its
branches.
\VS{33}Another story
he gave
to
them:
The
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
leaven,
which
a
woman
took,
and
put
in
three
measures
of meal, till
it
was
all
leavened.
\VS{34}All
these
things
Jesus
said
to
the
people
in
the
form
of stories;
and
without
a story
he
said
nothing
to
them:
\VS{35}That
it
might
come true
which
was
said
by
the
prophet,
Opening
my
mouth,
I
will
give
out stories;
I
will
give knowledge
of
things kept
secret
from
before
all time.
\VS{36}Then
he
went
away
from
the
people,
and
went
into
the
house;
and
his
disciples
came
to
him,
saying, Make clear
to
us
the story
of
the evil plants
in
the
field.
\VS{37}And
he
made
answer
and
said,
He
who puts
the
good
seed
in
the earth
is
the
Son
of
man;
\VS{38}And
the
field
is
the
world;
and
the
good
seed
is
the
sons
of
the
kingdom;
and
the
evil
seeds
are
the
sons
of
the
Evil
One;
\VS{39}And
he
who put
them
in
the earth
is Satan;
and
the getting
in
of
the grain
is
the
end
of
the
world;
and
those
who get
it
in
are
the
angels.
\VS{40}As
then
the evil plants
are got
together
and
burned
with
fire,
so
will
it
be
in
the
end
of
the
world.
\VS{41}The
Son
of
man
will
send
out
his
angels,
and
they
will take
out
of
his
kingdom
everything
which
is
a
cause
of error,
and
all
those
who
do wrong,
\VS{42}And
will
put
them
into
the
fire;
there
will
be
weeping
and cries
of sorrow.
\VS{43}Then
will
the
upright
be shining
as
the
sun
in
the
kingdom
of
their
Father.
He
who
has
ears, let
him
give
ear.
\VS{44}The
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
a
secret store
of wealth
in
a
field,
which
a
man
came across
and put
back
again;
and
in
his
joy
he
goes
and gives
all
he
has,
to
get
that
field.
\VS{45}Again,
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
a trader
searching
for
beautiful jewels.
\VS{46}And
having come across
one jewel
of
great price,
he
went
and gave
all
he
had
in exchange
for
it.
\VS{47}Again,
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
a net,
which
was
put
into
the
sea
and took
in
every sort
of fish:
\VS{48}When
it
was
full,
they
took
it
up
on
the sands;
and
seated
there
they
put
the
good
into vessels,
but
the
bad
they
put
away.
\VS{49}So
will
it
be
in
the
end
of
the
world:
the
angels
will
come
and
take
out
the
bad
from
the
good,
\VS{50}And
will
put
them
into
the
fire:
there
will
be
weeping
and cries
of sorrow.
\VS{51}Are
all
these
things
now clear
to
you?
They
say
to
him,
Yes.
\VS{52}And
he
said
to
them,
For
this
reason
every
scribe
who
has
become
a
disciple
of
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
the
owner
of
a
house,
who
gives
out
from
his store
things
new
and
old.
\VS{53}And
when
Jesus
had
come
to
the
end
of
these stories
he
went away
from
there.
\VS{54}And
coming
into
his
country,
he gave
them
teaching
in
their
Synagogue,
so
that
they
were greatly surprised
and
said,
Where
did
this
man get
this
wisdom
and
these works
of
power?
\VS{55}Is
not
this
the woodworker's
son?
is
not
his
mother
named
Mary?
and
his
brothers
James
and
Joseph
and
Simon
and
Judas?
\VS{56}And
his
sisters,
are
they
not
all
with us?
from
where,
then,
has
he
all
these
things?
\VS{57}And
they
were bitter
against
him.
But
Jesus
said
to
them,
A
prophet
is nowhere
without honour
but
in
his
country
and
among
his family.
\VS{58}And
the works
of
power
which
he
did
there
were small
in
number
because
they
had
no faith.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At
that
time
news
of
Jesus
came
to
Herod
the king;
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
his
servants,
This
is
John
the
Baptist;
he
has
come back
from
the
dead,
and
so
these
powers
are
working
in
him.
\VS{3}For
Herod
had taken
John
and
put
him
in
prison
because
of
Herodias,
his
brother Philip's
wife.
\VS{4}Because
John
had
said
to
him,
It
is
not right
for
you
to
have
her.
\VS{5}And
he
would
have
put
him
to
death,
but
for
his
fear
of
the
people,
because
in
their eyes
John
was
a
prophet.
\VS{6}But
when Herod's
birthday
came,
the
daughter
of
Herodias
was dancing
before
them,
and
Herod
was
pleased
with
her.
\VS{7}So
he
gave
her
his word
with
an
oath
to let
her
have
whatever
she might
make
request
for.
\VS{8}And
she,
at
her mother's suggestion,
said,
Give
me
here
on
a plate
the
head
of
John
the
Baptist.
\VS{9}And
the
king
was
sad;
but
because
of
his
oaths
and
because
of
his
guests,
he
gave
the
order
for
it
to
be
given
to
her;
\VS{10}And
he
sent
and
had John's head cut off
in
the
prison.
\VS{11}And
his
head
was
put
on
a plate
and
given
to
the
girl;
and
she
took
it
to
her
mother.
\VS{12}And
his
disciples
came,
and
took
up
his
body
and
put
it
in
the earth;
and
they
went
and gave
Jesus news
of
what
had
taken place.
\VS{13}Now
when
it
came
to
the
ears
of
Jesus,
he
went
away
from
there
in
a
boat,
to
a waste
place
by
himself:
and
the
people
hearing
of
it,
went
after
him
on foot
from
the
towns.
\VS{14}And
he
came
out
and
saw
a
great
number
of
people
and
he
had
pity
on
them,
and made
well
those
of
them
who
were ill.
\VS{15}And
when
evening
had
come,
the
disciples
came
to
him,
saying,
This
place
is waste land,
and
the
time
is
now
past;
send
the
people
away
so
that
they
may
go
into
the towns
and
get
themselves
food.
\VS{16}But
Jesus
said
to
them,
There
is
no
need
for
them
to
go
away;
give
them
food
yourselves.
\VS{17}And
they
say
to
him,
We
have
here
but
five cakes
of
bread
and
two fishes.
\VS{18}And
he
said,
Give
them
to
me.
\VS{19}And
he
gave
orders
for
the
people
to
be seated
on
the
grass;
and
he
took
the
five cakes
of
bread
and
the
two fishes
and,
looking
up
to
heaven,
he
said
words
of
blessing,
and made division
of
the
food,
and
gave
it
to
the
disciples,
and
the
disciples
gave
it
to
the
people.
\VS{20}And
they
all
took
of
the
food
and
had
enough:
and
they
took
up
twelve
baskets
full
of
broken bits
which
were
not used.
\VS{21}And
those
who
had food
were
about
five
thousand
men,
in addition
to
women
and
children.
\VS{22}And straight
away
he
made
the
disciples
get
into
the
boat
and
go
before
him
to
the
other
side, till
he
had
sent
the
people
away.
\VS{23}And
after
he
had
sent
the
people
away,
he
went
up
into
the
mountain
by
himself
for
prayer:
and
when
evening
was
come,
he
was
there
by
himself.
\VS{24}But
the
boat
was
now
in
the
middle
of
the
sea,
and
was troubled
by
the
waves:
for
the
wind
was
against
them.
\VS{25}And
in
the fourth
watch
of
the
night
he
came
to
them,
walking
on
the
sea.
\VS{26}And
when
they
saw
him
walking
on
the
sea,
they
were
troubled,
saying,
It
is
a spirit;
and
they gave
cries
of
fear.
\VS{27}But
straight away
Jesus
said
to
them,
Take heart;
it
is
I,
have
no
fear.
\VS{28}And
Peter,
answering,
said
to
him,
Lord,
if
it
is
you,
give
me
the
order
to
come
to
you
on
the
water.
\VS{29}And
he
said,
Come.
And
Peter
got
out
of
the
boat,
and
walking
on
the
water,
went
to
Jesus.
\VS{30}But
when
he
saw
the
wind
he
was
in
fear
and,
starting
to go down,
he gave
a
cry,
saying, Help,
Lord.
\VS{31}And straight away
Jesus put
out
his
hand
and
took
a grip
of
him,
and
said
to
him, O man
of little faith,
why
were
you
in doubt?
\VS{32}And
when
they
had
got
into
the
boat,
the
wind
went
down.
\VS{33}And
those
who
were
in
the
boat gave
him
worship,
saying,
Truly
you
are
the
Son
of
God.
\VS{34}And
when
they
had gone
across,
they
came
to
land
at
Gennesaret.
\VS{35}And
when
the
men
of
that
place
had news
of
him,
they
sent
into
all
the
country round
about,
and took
to
him
all
who
were ill,
\VS{36}With
the request
that
they
might
only put
their hands
on
the edge
of
his
robe:
and
all
those
who did
so
were made
well.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then there
came
to
Jesus
from
Jerusalem
Pharisees
and
scribes,
saying,
\VS{2}Why
do
your
disciples go
against
the teaching
of
the fathers?
for
they take
food
with unwashed
hands.
\VS{3}And
in
answer
he
said
to
them,
Why
do
you,
yourselves, go
against
the word
of
God
on
account
of
the teaching
which
has
been handed down
to
you?
\VS{4}For
God
said,
Give honour
to
your
father
and
mother:
and,
He
who
says
evil
of
father
or
mother
will
be
put
to
death.
\VS{5}But
you
say,
If
a
man
says
to
his
father
or
his
mother,
That
by
which
you
might
have
had
profit
from
me
is
given
to
God;
\VS{6}There
is
no need
for
him
to give honour
to
his
father.
And
you
have made
the
word
of
God
without effect
because
of
your
teaching.
\VS{7}You false ones,
well
did
Isaiah
say
of
you,
\VS{8}These
people give
me honour
with
their
lips,
but
their
heart
is
far
from
me.
\VS{9}But their
worship
is
to no purpose,
while
they give
as their
teaching
the rules
of
men.
\VS{10}And
he got
the
people
together
and
said
to
them,
Give ear,
and
let
my
words
be clear
to
you:
\VS{11}Not
that
which goes
into
the
mouth makes
a
man unclean,
but
that
which
comes
out
of
the
mouth.
\VS{12}Then
the
disciples
came
and
said
to
him,
Did
you
see
that
the
Pharisees
were troubled
when
these
words
came
to
their
ears?
\VS{13}But
he
said
in
answer,
Every
plant
which
my
Father
in
heaven
has
not put
in
the earth,
will
be taken up
by
the roots.
\VS{14}Let
them
be:
they
are
blind
guides.
And
if
a
blind
man
is guiding
a
blind
man,
the two
will
go
falling
into
a hole together.
\VS{15}Then
Peter
said
to
him, Make
the story clear
to
us.
\VS{16}And
he
said,
Are
you, like
them,
still
without wisdom?
\VS{17}Do
you
not
see
that
whatever
goes
into
the
mouth
goes
on
into
the
stomach,
and
is
sent
out
as waste?
\VS{18}But
the
things
which
come
out
of
the
mouth
come
from
the
heart;
and
they make
a
man unclean.
\VS{19}For
out
of
the
heart
come
evil
thoughts,
the taking
of life, broken faith
between
the married, unclean desires
of
the flesh, taking
of property, false witness, bitter words:
\VS{20}These
are
the
things
which
make
a
man unclean;
but
to take
food
with
unwashed
hands
does
not
make
a
man unclean.
\VS{21}And
Jesus
went
away
from
there
into
the
country
of
Tyre
and
Sidon.
\VS{22}And
a
woman
of Canaan
came
out
from
those parts,
crying
and
saying,
Have pity
on
me, O
Lord,
Son
of
David;
my
daughter
is greatly troubled
with
an unclean spirit.
\VS{23}But
he gave
her
no
answer.
And
his
disciples
came
and
said
to
him,
Send
her
away,
for
she
is
crying
after
us.
\VS{24}But
he
made
answer
and
said,
I
was
sent
only
to
the wandering
sheep
of
the
house
of
Israel.
\VS{25}But
she
came
and gave
him
worship,
saying,
Help,
Lord.
\VS{26}And
he
made
answer
and
said,
It
is
not
right
to
take
the children's
bread
and
give
it
to
the
dogs.
\VS{27}But
she
said,
Yes,
Lord:
but
even
the
dogs take
the bits
from under
their masters'
table.
\VS{28}Then
Jesus,
answering,
said
to
her,
O
woman,
great
is
your
faith:
let
your
desire
be
done.
And
her
daughter
was
made
well
from
that
hour.
\VS{29}And
Jesus
went
from
there
and
came
to
the
sea
of
Galilee;
and
he
went
up
into
the
mountain,
and took
his seat
there.
\VS{30}And
there
came
to
him
great
numbers
of
people
having
with
them
those
who
were broken
in body,
or
blind,
or
without voice,
or wounded,
or ill
in
any
way,
and
a
number
of
others;
they put
them
down
at
his
feet
and
he made
them
well:
\VS{31}So
that
the
people
were
full
of
wonder
when
they
saw
that
those
who
had no voice
were
talking,
the feeble
were
made strong,
those whose bodies
were broken
had
the power
of
walking,
and
the
blind
were able
to
see:
and
they gave
glory
to
the
God
of
Israel.
\VS{32}And
Jesus got
his
disciples
together
and
said,
I
have
pity
for
the
people,
because
they
have
now
been
with
me
three
days
and
have
no
food:
and
I
will
not
send
them
away
without
food,
or
they
will
have
no strength
for
the
journey.
\VS{33}And
the
disciples
say
to
him,
How
may
we get enough
bread
in
a waste
place,
to
give
food
to
such
a
number
of
people?
\VS{34}And
Jesus
says
to
them,
How
much
bread
have
you?
And
they
said,
Seven cakes,
and
some
small fishes.
\VS{35}Then
he
gave
an
order
to
the
people
to
be seated
on
the
earth,
\VS{36}And
he
took
the
seven cakes
of
bread
and
the fishes;
and having
given praise,
he
gave
the
broken
bread
to
the
disciples,
and
the
disciples
gave
it
to
the
people.
\VS{37}And
they
all
took
food,
and
had
enough;
and
they
took
up
of
the
broken bits,
seven
baskets
full.
\VS{38}And
there
were
four
thousand
men
who took food,
together
with
women
and
children.
\VS{39}And
when
he
had
sent
the
people
away,
he
got
into
the
boat,
and
came
into
the country
of
Magadan.

\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees
came
and,
testing
him, made
a request
to
him
to give
them
a
sign
from
heaven.
\VS{2}But
in
answer
he
said
to
them,
At nightfall

The

\VS{3}And
in
the
morning,
The weather
will
be bad
today,
for
the
sky
is
red
and angry.
You
are
able
to
see
the
face
of
heaven,
but
not
the
signs
of
the
times.
\VS{4}An
evil
and false
generation
is
searching
after
a
sign;
and
no
sign
will
be
given
to
it
but
the
sign
of
Jonah.
And
he
went
away
from
them.
\VS{5}And
when
the
disciples
came
to
the
other
side
they
had
not
taken thought
to get
bread.
\VS{6}And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Take
care
to
have nothing
to
do
with
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees.
\VS{7}And
they
were
reasoning
among
themselves,
saying,
We
took
no
bread.
\VS{8}And
Jesus, seeing
it,
said, O
you
of little faith,
why
are
you
reasoning
among
yourselves,
because
you
have
no
bread?
\VS{9}Do
you
still
not
see,
or keep
in
mind
the
five cakes
of
bread
of
the
five
thousand,
and
the number
of
baskets
you
took up?
\VS{10}Or
the
seven cakes
of
bread
of
the
four
thousand,
and
the number
of
baskets
you
took up?
\VS{11}How
is
it
that
you
do
not
see
that
I
was
not
talking
to
you
about
bread,
but
about keeping
away
from
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees?
\VS{12}Then
they saw
that
it
was
not
the
leaven
of
bread
which
he
had
in
mind,
but
the
teaching
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees.
\VS{13}Now
when
Jesus
had
come
into
the
parts
of
Caesarea
Philippi,
he
said, questioning
his
disciples,
Who
do
men
say
that
the
Son
of
man
is?
\VS{14}And
they
said,
Some
say,
John
the
Baptist;
some,
Elijah;
and
others,
Jeremiah,
or
one
of
the
prophets.
\VS{15}He
says
to
them,
But
who
do
you
say
that
I
am?
\VS{16}And
Simon
Peter
made
answer
and
said,
You
are
the
Christ,
the
Son
of
the
living
God.
\VS{17}And
Jesus
made
answer
and
said
to
him,
A blessing
on
you,
Simon Bar-jonah:
because
this knowledge
has
not
come
to
you
from
flesh
and
blood,
but
from
my
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{18}And
I
say
to
you
that
you
are
Peter,
and
on
this
rock
will
my
church
be based,
and
the doors
of
hell
will
not overcome
it.
\VS{19}I
will
give
to
you
the
keys
of
the
kingdom
of
heaven:
and
whatever
is fixed
by
you
on
earth
will
be fixed
in
heaven:
and
whatever
you
make
free
on
earth
will
be made
free
in
heaven.
\VS{20}Then
he
gave
orders
to
the
disciples
to
give
no
man word
that
he
was
the
Christ.
\VS{21}From
that
time
Jesus
went
on
to
make clear
to
his
disciples
how
he
would
have
to
go
up
to
Jerusalem,
and undergo
much
at
the hands
of
those
in authority
and
the
chief
priests
and
scribes,
and
be
put
to
death,
and
the
third
day come
again
from
the dead.
\VS{22}And
Peter, protesting,
said
to
him,
Be
it
far
from
you,
Lord;
it
is impossible
that
this
will
come
about.
\VS{23}But
he,
turning
to
Peter,
said,
Get
out
of
my
way,
Satan:
you
are
a danger
to
me
because
your
mind
is
not
on
the
things
of
God,
but
on
the
things
of
men.
\VS{24}Then
Jesus
said
to
his
disciples,
If
any
man
would
come
after
me,
let
him
give
up
all,
and
take
up
his
cross,
and
come
after
me.
\VS{25}Because
whoever
has
a
desire
to keep
his
life safe
will
have
it taken
from
him;
but
whoever gives up
his
life
because
of
me,
will
have
it given back
to
him.
\VS{26}For
what
profit
has
a
man,
if
he gets
all
the
world
with
the
loss
of
his
life?
or
what
will
a
man
give
in
exchange
for
his
life?
\VS{27}For
the
Son
of
man
will
come
in
the
glory
of
his
Father
with
his
angels;
and
then
he
will
give
to
every
man
the
reward
of
his works.
\VS{28}Truly
I
say
to
you,
There
are
some
of
those
here
who
will
not
have
a
taste
of
death, till
they
see
the
Son
of
man
coming
in
his
kingdom.

\par }\Chap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
after
six
days
Jesus
takes
with
him
Peter,
and
James,
and
John,
his
brother,
and makes
them go
up
with
him
into
a
high
mountain
by
themselves.
\VS{2}And
he
was changed
in form
before
them;
and
his
face
was shining
like
the
sun,
and
his
clothing
became
white
as
light.
\VS{3}And
Moses
and
Elijah came before
their eyes,
talking
with
him.
\VS{4}And
Peter
made
answer
and
said
to
Jesus,
Lord,
it
is
good
for
us
to
be
here:
if
you
will
let
me,
I
will
make
here
three
tents,
one
for
you,
and
one
for
Moses,
and
one
for
Elijah.
\VS{5}While
he
was
still
talking,
a
bright
cloud
came
over
them:
and
a
voice
out
of
the
cloud,
saying,
This
is
my dearly loved
Son,
with
whom
I
am
well
pleased;
give ear
to
him.
\VS{6}And
at
these
words
the
disciples went
down
on
their
faces
in great
fear.
\VS{7}And
Jesus
came
and put
his hand
on
them
and
said,
Get
up
and
have
no
fear.
\VS{8}And
lifting
up
their
eyes,
they
saw
no
one,
but
Jesus
only.
\VS{9}And
when
they
were
coming
down
from
the
mountain,
Jesus
gave
them
orders,
saying,
Let
no
man
have word
of
what
you
have seen, till
the
Son
of
man
has
come
again
from
the
dead.
\VS{10}And
his
disciples,
questioning
him,
said,
Why
then
do
the
scribes
say
that
Elijah
has
to
come
first?
\VS{11}And
in
answer
he
said,
Elijah truly
has
to
come
and put
all
things right:
\VS{12}But
I
say
to
you
that
Elijah
has
come,
and
they
had
no knowledge
of
him,
but
did
to
him
whatever
they
were pleased
to
do;
the
same
will
the
Son
of
man undergo
at
their
hands.
\VS{13}Then
the
disciples saw
that
he
was
talking
to
them
of
John
the
Baptist.
\VS{14}And
when
they
came
to
the
people,
a
man
went
down
on
his
knees
to
him, saying,
\VS{15}Lord
have
mercy
on
my
son:
for
he
is off
his head,
and
is
in great pain;
and frequently
he goes
falling
into
the
fire,
and frequently
into
the
water.
\VS{16}And
I took
him
to
your
disciples,
and
they
were
not
able
to
make
him
well.
\VS{17}And
Jesus,
answering,
said,
O false
and foolish
generation,
how
long
will
I
be
with
you?
how
long
will
I
put up
with
you?
let
him
come
here
to
me.
\VS{18}And
Jesus gave orders
to
the unclean spirit,
and
it
went
out
of
him:
and
the
boy
was made
well
from
that
hour.
\VS{19}Then
the
disciples
came
to
Jesus
privately,
and
said,
Why
were
we
not
able
to
send
it
out?
\VS{20}And
he
says
to
them,
Because
of
your little
faith:
for
truly
I
say
to
you,
If
you
have
faith
as
a
grain
of
mustard
seed,
you
will
say
to
this
mountain,
Be moved
from
this
place
to
that;
and
it
will
be moved;
and
nothing
will
be
impossible
to
you.
\VS{21}[]
\VS{22}And
while
they
were
going
about
in
Galilee,
Jesus
said
to
them,
The
Son
of
man
will
be
given
up
into
the
hands
of
men;
\VS{23}And
they
will
put
him
to
death,
and
the
third
day
he
will come
again
from
the dead.
And
they
were
very
sad.
\VS{24}And
when
they
had
come
to
Capernaum,
those
who
took
the
Temple tax
came
to
Peter
and
said,
Does
not
your master
make payment
of
the
Temple tax?
\VS{25}He
says,
Yes.
And
when
he
came
into
the
house,
Jesus
said
to
him,
What
is
your opinion,
Simon?
from
whom
do
the
kings
of
the
earth get payment
or tax?
from
their
sons
or
from
other
people?
\VS{26}And
when
he
said,
From
other
people,
Jesus
said
to
him,
Then
are
the
sons
free.
\VS{27}But,
so
that
we
may
not
be
a
cause
of trouble
to
them,
go
to
the
sea,
and
let down
a
hook,
and
take
the
first
fish
which
comes
up;
and
in
his
mouth
you
will see
a bit
of
money:
take
that,
and
give
it
to
them
for
me
and
you.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
that
hour
the
disciples
came
to
Jesus,
saying,
Who
is
greatest
in
the
kingdom
of
heaven?
\VS{2}And
he took
a little
child,
and
put
him
in
the
middle
of
them,
\VS{3}And
said,
Truly,
I
say
to
you,
If
you
do
not
have
a change
of heart
and
become
like little
children,
you
will
not
go
into
the
kingdom
of
heaven.
\VS{4}Whoever,
then,
will make
himself
as
low
as
this little
child,
the
same
is
the
greatest
in
the
kingdom
of
heaven.
\VS{5}And
whoever gives honour
to
one
such little
child
in
my
name, gives honour
to
me:
\VS{6}But
whoever
is
a
cause
of trouble
to
one
of
these
little
ones
who
have
faith
in
me,
it
would
be better
for
him
to
have
a great stone fixed
to
his
neck,
and
to come
to
his
end
in
the deep
sea.
\VS{7}A curse
is
on
the earth
because
of trouble!
for
it
is
necessary
for trouble
to
come;
but unhappy
is
that
man
through
whom
the trouble
comes.
\VS{8}And
if
your
hand
or
your
foot
is
a
cause
of trouble,
let
it
be
cut
off
and
put
it
away
from
you:
it
is
better
for
you
to
go
into
life
with
the loss
of
a
hand
or
a
foot
than,
having
two
hands
or
two
feet,
to
go
into
the
eternal
fire.
\VS{9}And
if
your
eye
is
a
cause
of trouble
to
you,
take
it
out,
and
put
it
away
from
you:
it
is
better
for
you
to
go
into
life
with
one
eye
than,
having
two
eyes,
to
go
into
the
hell
of
fire.
\VS{10}Let
it
not seem
to
you
that
one
of
these
little
ones
is
of
no value;
for
I
say
to
you
that
in
heaven
their
angels
see
at
all times
the
face
of
my
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{11}[]
\VS{12}What
would
you say
now?
if
a
man
has
a
hundred
sheep,
and
one
of
them
has
gone
wandering
away,
will
he
not
let
the
ninety-nine
be,
and
go
to
the
mountains
in
search
of
the
wandering
one?
\VS{13}And
if
he
comes
across
it,
truly
I
say
to
you,
he
has
more
joy
over
it
than
over
the
ninety-nine
which
have
not
gone
out
of
the
way.
\VS{14}Even
so
it
is
not
the pleasure
of
your
Father
in
heaven
for
one
of
these
little
ones
to
come
to destruction.
\VS{15}And
if
your
brother
does
wrong
to
you,
go, make clear
to
him
his error
between
you
and
him
in
private:
if
he gives ear
to
you,
you
have got
your
brother
back
again.
\VS{16}But
if
he
will
not
give ear
to
you,
take
with
you
one
or
two
more,
that
by
the
lips
of
two
or
three
witnesses
every
word
may
be made certain.
\VS{17}And
if
he
will
not
give ear
to
them,
let
it
come
to
the hearing
of
the
church:
and
if
he
will
not
give ear
to
the
church,
let
him
be
to
you
as
a
Gentile
and
a tax-farmer.
\VS{18}Truly
I
say
to
you,
Whatever
things
are fixed
by
you
on
earth
will
be fixed
in
heaven:
and
whatever
you make
free
on
earth
will
be
made
free
in
heaven.
\VS{19}Again,
I
say
to
you,
that
if
two
of
you
are
in agreement
on
earth
about
anything
for
which
they
will make
a
request,
it
will
be
done
for
them
by
my
Father
in
heaven.
\VS{20}For
where
two
or
three
are
come
together
in
my
name,
there
am
I
among
them.
\VS{21}Then
Peter
came
and
said
to
him,
Lord,
what
number
of
times
may
my
brother
do wrong
against
me,
and
I
give
him forgiveness? till
seven
times?
\VS{22}Jesus
says
to
him,
I
say
not
to
you, Till
seven
times;
but, Till
seventy
times
seven.
\VS{23}For
this
reason
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
a
king,
who went
over
his
accounts
with
his
servants.
\VS{24}And
at
the
start,
one came
to
him
who
was
in
his debt
for
ten
thousand
talents.
\VS{25}And
because
he
was
not
able
to
make payment,
his
lord
gave
orders
for
him,
and
his
wife,
and
his
sons
and daughters,
and
all
he
had,
to
be
given
for
money,
and payment
to
be
made.
\VS{26}So
the
servant went
down
on
his face
and
gave
him
worship,
saying, Lord,
give
me
time
to
make payment
and
I
will
give
you
all.
\VS{27}And
the
lord
of
that
servant, being
moved
with
pity,
let
him
go,
and made
him
free
of
the
debt.
\VS{28}But
that
servant
went
out,
and meeting
one
of
the
other
servants,
who
was
in debt
to
him
for
one
hundred pence,
he
took
him
by
the throat,
saying,
Make payment
of
your debt.
\VS{29}So
that
servant went
down
on
his face, requesting
him
and
saying,
Give
me
time
and
I
will
make payment
to
you.
\VS{30}And
he
would
not:
but
went
and
put
him
into
prison till
he
had
made payment
of
the debt.
\VS{31}So
when
the
other
servants
saw
what
was
done
they
were
very
sad,
and
came
and gave word
to
their
lord
of
what
had
been
done.
\VS{32}Then
his
lord sent
for
him
and
said,
You
evil
servant;
I
made
you free
of
all
that
debt,
because
of
your request
to
me:
\VS{33}Was
it
not right
for
you
to
have
mercy
on
the other
servant,
even
as
I
had
mercy
on
you?
\VS{34}And
his
lord
was
very
angry,
and
put
him
in
the
hands
of
those
who
would
give
him punishment till
he
made payment
of
all
the debt.
\VS{35}So
will
my
Father
in
heaven
do
to
you,
if
you
do
not
everyone,
from
your
hearts,
give forgiveness
to
his
brother.

\par }\Chap{19}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
about
that
after
saying
these
words,
Jesus
went
away
from
Galilee,
and
came
into
the parts
of Judaea
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan.
\VS{2}And
a
great
number went
after
him;
and
he made
them
well
there.
\VS{3}And
certain
Pharisees
came
to
him,
testing
him,
and
saying,
Is
it right
for
a
man
to
put
away
his
wife
for
every
cause?
\VS{4}And
he
said
in
answer,
Have
you
not seen
in
the Writings,
that
he
who
made
them
at
the
first
made
them
male
and
female,
and
said,
\VS{5}For
this cause
will
a
man go away
from
his
father
and
mother,
and
be
joined
to
his
wife;
and
the
two
will become
one
flesh?
\VS{6}So
that
they
are
no
longer
two,
but
one
flesh.
Then
let
not
that
which
has
been
joined
by
God
be parted
by
man.
\VS{7}They
say
to
him,
Why
then
did
Moses
give
orders
that
a husband
might
give
her
a statement
in writing
and
be
free
from
her?
\VS{8}He
says
to
them,
Moses,
because
of
your hard hearts,
let
you
put
away
your
wives:
but
it
has
not
been
so
from
the
first.
\VS{9}And
I
say
to
you,
Whoever puts
away
his
wife
for
any
other cause
than
the loss
of
her virtue,
and takes
another,
is
a false husband:
and
he
who takes
her
as
his
wife
when
she
is put
away,
is
no true husband
to
her.
\VS{10}The
disciples
say
to
him,
If
this
is
the position
of
a
man
in relation
to
his
wife,
it
is better
not
to
be
married.
\VS{11}But
he
said
to
them,
Not
all
men
are able
to take
in
this
saying,
but
only
those
to
whom
it
is
given.
\VS{12}For
there
are
men
who,
from
birth,
were
without sex:
and
there
are
some
who
were
made
so
by
men:
and
there
are
others
who
have
made
themselves
so
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven.
He
who
is
able
to take
it,
let
him take
it.
\VS{13}Then
some
people took little
children
to
him,
so
that
he
might
put
his
hands
on
them
in blessing:
and
the
disciples
said sharp
words
to
them.
\VS{14}But
Jesus
said,
Let
the little ones
come
to
me,
and
do
not
keep
them
away:
for
of
such
is
the
kingdom
of
heaven.
\VS{15}And
he
put
his
hands
on
them,
and
went
away.
\VS{16}And
one
came
to
him
and
said, Master,
what
good
thing
have
I
to
do,
so
that
I
may
have
eternal
life?
\VS{17}And
he
said
to
him,
Why
are
you questioning
me
about
what
is
good?
One
there
is
who
is
good:
but
if
you
have
a
desire
to
go
into
life,
keep
the rules
of
the law.
\VS{18}He
says
to
him,
Which?
And
Jesus
said,
Do
not
put
anyone
to
death,
Do
not
be untrue
in married life,
Do
not take
what
is
not yours,
Do
not
give
false
witness,
\VS{19}Give honour
to
your
father
and
your
mother:
and,
Have
love
for
your neighbour
as
for
yourself.
\VS{20}The
young
man
says
to
him,
All
these
things
have
I done:
what
more
is there?
\VS{21}Jesus
said
to
him,
If
you
have
a
desire
to
be
complete,
go,
get
money
for
your
property,
and
give
it
to
the
poor,
and
you
will
have wealth
in
heaven:
and
come
after
me.
\VS{22}But
hearing
these
words
the
young
man
went
away sorrowing:
for
he
had
much
property.
\VS{23}And
Jesus
said
to
his
disciples,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
It
is
hard
for
a
man
with much
money
to
go
into
the
kingdom
of
heaven.
\VS{24}And
again
I
say
to
you,
It
is simpler
for
a
camel
to
go
through
a needle's eye,
than
for
a
man
with much money
to
go
into
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{25}And
the
disciples,
hearing
this,
were
greatly surprised,
saying,
Who
then
may
have
salvation?
\VS{26}And
Jesus,
looking
at
them,
said,
With
men
this
is
not
possible;
but
with
God
all
things
are
possible.
\VS{27}Then
Peter
said
to
him,
See,
we
have given up
everything
and
have
come
after
you;
what
then
will
we
have?
\VS{28}And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you
that
in
the
time
when
all
things
are
made new,
and
the
Son
of
man
is
seated
in
his
glory,
you
who
have come
after
me
will
be
seated
on
twelve seats,
judging
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel.
\VS{29}And
everyone
who
has given up
houses,
or
brothers,
or
sisters,
or
father,
or
mother,
or
child,
or
land,
for
my
name,
will
be given
a
hundred
times
as
much,
and
have
eternal
life.
\VS{30}But
a
great number
who
are
first
will
be
last,
and
some
who
are
last
will
be
first.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}For
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
the master
of
a
house,
who
went
out
early
in
the
morning
to
get
workers
into
his vine-garden.
\VS{2}And
when
he
had made
an agreement
with
the
workmen
for
a penny
a
day,
he
sent
them
into
his vine-garden.
\VS{3}And
he
went
out
about
the
third
hour,
and
saw
others
in
the market-place doing nothing;
\VS{4}And
he
said
to
them,
Go
into
the vine-garden
with
the
others,
and
whatever
is
right
I
will
give
you.
And
they
went
to work.
\VS{5}Again
he
went
out
about
the
sixth
and
the ninth
hour,
and
did
the
same.
\VS{6}And
about
the
eleventh hour
he
went
out
and saw
others doing nothing;
and
he
says
to
them,
Why
are
you
here
all
the
day doing nothing?
\VS{7}They
say
to
him,
Because
no
man
has given
us work.
He
says
to
them,
Go
in
with
the rest,
into
the vine-garden.
\VS{8}And
when
evening
came,
the
lord
of
the vine-garden
said
to
his
manager,
Let
the
workers
come,
and
give
them
their payment,
from
the
last
to
the
first.
\VS{9}And
when
those men
came
who
had gone
to work
at
the
eleventh
hour,
they
were given every man
a penny.
\VS{10}Then
those
who
came
first
had
the idea
that
they
would get
more;
and
they,
like
the rest,
were given
a penny.
\VS{11}And
when
they got
it,
they made
a protest
against
the master
of
the
house,
\VS{12}Saying,
These
last
have
done
only
one hour's work,
and
you
have
made
them
equal
to
us,
who
have undergone
the hard work
of
the
day
and
the burning
heat.
\VS{13}But
he
in
answer
said
to
one
of
them,
Friend,
I
do
you
no
wrong:
did
you
not
make
an
agreement
with
me
for
a penny?
\VS{14}Take
what
is
yours,
and
go
away;
it
is
my pleasure
to
give
to
this
last,
even
as
to
you.
\VS{15}Have
I
not
the right
to
do
as seems
good
to
me
in
my house?
or
is
your
eye
evil,
because
I
am
good?
\VS{16}So
the
last
will
be
first,
and
the
first
last.
\VS{17}And
when
Jesus
was
going
up
to
Jerusalem,
he
took
the
twelve
disciples
on
one side,
and
said
to
them,
\VS{18}See,
we
go
up
to
Jerusalem;
and
the
Son
of
man
will
be
given
into
the
hands
of
the
chief
priests
and
scribes;
and
they
will give orders
for
him
to
be
put
to
death,
\VS{19}And
will give
him
up
to
the
Gentiles
to
be made sport
of
and
to
be whipped
and
to
be
put
to death
on
the cross:
and
the
third
day
he
will come
back
again
from
the dead.
\VS{20}Then
the
mother
of
the
sons
of
Zebedee
came
to
him
with
her
sons, giving
him
worship
and
making
a
request
of
him.
\VS{21}And
he
said
to
her,
What
is
your
desire?
She
says
to
him,
Let
my
two
sons
be
seated,
the
one
at
your
right
hand,
and
the
other
at
your
left,
in
your
kingdom.
\VS{22}But
Jesus
made
answer
and
said,
You
have
no idea
what
you
are
requesting.
Are
you
able
to take
of
the
cup
which
I
am
about
to take?
\VS{23}They
say
to
him,
We
are able.
He
says
to
them, Truly,
you
will take
of
my
cup:
but
to
be
seated
at
my
right
hand
and
at
my
left
is
not
for
me
to
give,
but
it
is
for
those
for
whom
my
Father
has
made
it
ready.
\VS{24}And
when
it
came
to
the
ears
of
the
ten,
they
were angry
with
the
two
brothers.
\VS{25}But
Jesus
said
to
them,
You
see
that
the
rulers
of
the
Gentiles
are lords
over
them,
and
their
great
ones
have
authority
over
them.
\VS{26}Let
it
not
be
so
among
you:
but
if
anyone
has
a
desire
to
become
great
among
you,
let
him
be
your
servant;
\VS{27}And
whoever
has
a
desire
to
be
first
among
you,
let
him take
the lowest
place:
\VS{28}Even
as
the
Son
of
man
did
not
come
to
have servants,
but
to
be
a
servant,
and
to
give
his
life
for
the salvation
of
men.
\VS{29}And
when
they
were
going
out
from
Jericho,
a
great
number
went
after
him.
\VS{30}And
two
blind
men
seated
by
the wayside,
when
they
had
the news
that
Jesus
was
going
by, gave
a loud
cry,
saying,
Lord,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
us.
\VS{31}And
the
people gave
them
orders
to
be
quiet;
but
they went
on
crying
even louder,
Lord,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
us.
\VS{32}And
Jesus, stopping, sent
for
them,
and
said,
What
would
you
have
me
do
to
you?
\VS{33}They
say
to
him,
Lord,
that
our
eyes
may
be
open.
\VS{34}And
Jesus, being
moved
with
pity, put
his fingers
on
their
eyes:
and straight away
they
were able
to
see,
and went
after
him.

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
they
were
near
Jerusalem,
and
had
come
to Beth-phage,
to
the
Mountain
of
Olives,
Jesus
sent
two
disciples,
\VS{2}Saying
to
them,
Go
into
the little
town
in
front
of
you,
and straight
away
you
will see
an ass
with
a cord round
her neck,
and
a young
one
with
her;
let
them
loose
and
come
with
them
to
me.
\VS{3}And
if
anyone
says
anything
to
you,
you
will
say,
The
Lord
has
need
of
them;
and
straight
away
he
will
send
them.
\VS{4}Now
this
took
place
so
that
these words
of
the
prophet might
come true,
\VS{5}Say
to
the
daughter
of
Zion,
See,
your
King
comes
to
you,
gentle
and
seated
on
an ass,
and
on
a young ass.
\VS{6}And
the
disciples
went
and
did
as
Jesus
had given
them orders,
\VS{7}And got
the ass
and
the young
one,
and
put
their
clothing
on
them,
and
he
took
his seat
on
it.
\VS{8}And
all
the
people put
their
clothing down
in
the
way;
and
others got
branches
from
the
trees,
and put
them down
in
the
way.
\VS{9}And
those
who
went
before
him,
and
those
who
came
after, gave loud
cries,
saying, Glory
to
the
Son
of
David:
A
blessing
on
him
who
comes
in
the
name
of
the
Lord: Glory
in
the
highest.
\VS{10}And
when
he
came
into
Jerusalem,
all
the
town
was moved,
saying,
Who
is
this?
\VS{11}And
the
people
said,
This
is
the
prophet
Jesus,
from
Nazareth
of
Galilee.
\VS{12}And
Jesus
went
into
the
Temple
and
sent
out
all
who
were trading
there, overturning
the
tables
of
the money-changers
and
the
seats
of
those trading
in
doves.
\VS{13}And
he
said
to
them,
It
is
in
the Writings,
My
house
is
to
be
named
a
house
of
prayer,
but
you
are
making
it
a hole
of thieves.
\VS{14}And
the
blind
and
the broken
in body
came
to
him
in
the
Temple,
and
he made
them
well.
\VS{15}But
when
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
saw
the works
of power
which
he
did,
and
the
children
crying
out
in
the
Temple, Glory
to
the
son
of
David,
they
were angry
and
said
to
him,
\VS{16}Have
you any idea
what
these
are
saying?
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Yes:
have
you
not seen
in
the Writings,
From
the
lips
of
children
and
babies
at
the breast
you
have
made
your
praise
complete?
\VS{17}And
he
went
away
from
them,
and
went
out
of
the
town
to
Bethany,
and
was
there
for
the
night.
\VS{18}Now
in
the
morning
when
he
was coming
back
to
the
town,
he
had
a desire
for food.
\VS{19}And
seeing
a fig-tree
by
the wayside,
he
came
to
it,
and
saw
nothing
on
it
but
leaves
only;
and
he
said
to
it,
Let
there
be
no
fruit
from
you
from
this
time forward
for
ever.
And straight
away
the fig-tree
became dry
and dead.
\VS{20}And
when
the
disciples
saw
it
they
were
surprised,
saying,
How
did
the fig-tree become dry
in
so short
a time?
\VS{21}And
Jesus
in
answer
said
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
If
you
have
faith,
without
doubting,
not
only
may
you
do
what
has
been
done
to
the fig-tree,
but
even
if
you
say
to
this
mountain,
Be
taken
up
and
put
into
the
sea,
it
will
be
done.
\VS{22}And
all
things,
whatever
you make
request
for
in
prayer, having
faith,
you
will get.
\VS{23}And
when
he
had
come
into
the
Temple,
the
chief
priests
and
those
in
authority
over
the
people
came
to
him
while
he
was
teaching,
and
said,
By
what
authority
do
you
do
these
things?
and
who
gave
you
this
authority?
\VS{24}And
Jesus
said
to
them
in
answer,
I
will
put
one
question
to
you,
and
if
you
give
me
the
answer,
I
will
say
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things.
\VS{25}The
baptism
of
John,
where
did
it
come
from?
from
heaven
or
from
men?
And
they
were
reasoning
among
themselves,
saying,
If
we
say,
From
heaven;
he
will
say
to
us,
Why
then
did
you
not
have
faith
in
him?
\VS{26}But
if
we
say,
From
men;
we
are
in
fear
of
the
people,
because
all
take
John
to
be
a
prophet.
\VS{27}And
they
made
answer
and
said,
We
have
no idea.
Then
he
said
to
them,
And
I
will
not
say
to
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things.
\VS{28}But
how
does
it
seem
to
you?
A
man
had
two
sons;
and
he
came
to
the
first,
and
said,
Son,
go
and
do
work
today
in
the vine-garden.
\VS{29}And
he
said
in
answer,
I
will
not:
but
later, changing
his decision,
he
went.
\VS{30}And
he
came
to
the
second
and
said
the
same.
And
he
made
answer
and
said,
I
go,
sir:
and
went
not.
\VS{31}Which
of
the
two
did
his father's pleasure?
They
say,
The
first.
Jesus
said
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
that tax-farmers
and loose
women
are
going
into
the
kingdom
of
God
before
you.
\VS{32}For
John
came
to
you
in
the
way
of
righteousness,
and
you
had
no
faith
in
him,
but
the tax-farmers
and
the loose
women
had
faith
in
him:
and
you,
when
you
saw
it,
did
not
even
have
regret
for
your sins,
so
as
to
have
faith
in
him.
\VS{33}Give ear
to
another story.
A master
of
a
house made
a vine garden,
and
put
a
wall round
it,
and made
a
place
for crushing
out
the wine,
and made
a
tower,
and
let
it
out
to field-workers,
and
went
into
another country.
\VS{34}And
when
the
time
for
the
fruit
came
near,
he
sent
his
servants
to
the workmen,
to get
the
fruit.
\VS{35}And
the workmen made
an attack
on
his
servants, giving blows
to
one, putting another
to
death,
and
stoning another.
\VS{36}Again,
he
sent
other
servants
more
in
number
than
the
first:
and
they
did
the
same
to
them.
\VS{37}But
after
that
he
sent
his
son
to
them,
saying,
They
will
have
respect
for
my
son.
\VS{38}But
when
the workmen
saw
the
son,
they
said
among
themselves,
This
is
he
who
will
one day
be
the owner
of
the property;
come,
let
us
put
him
to
death
and
take
his heritage.
\VS{39}And
they
took
him
and, driving
him
out
of
the vine-garden,
put
him
to
death.
\VS{40}When,
then,
the
lord
of
the vine-garden
comes,
what
will
he
do
to
those workmen?
\VS{41}They
say
to
him,
He
will
put
those cruel
men
to
a cruel
death,
and
will
let
out
the vine-garden
to
other workmen,
who
will
give
him
the
fruit
when
it
is ready.
\VS{42}Jesus
says
to
them,
Did
you
never see
in
the Writings,
The
stone
which
the
builders
put
on
one
side,
the
same
has
been
made
the
chief
stone
of
the
building:
this
was
the Lord's doing,
and
it
is
a wonder
in
our
eyes?
\VS{43}For
this
reason
I
say
to
you,
The
kingdom
of
God
will
be
taken
away
from
you,
and
will
be
given
to
a
nation
producing
the
fruits
of
it.
\VS{44}Any man falling
on
this
stone
will
be broken,
but
he
on
whom
it
comes down
will
be crushed
to
dust.
\VS{45}And
when
his stories
came
to
the
ears
of
the
chief
priests
and
the
Pharisees,
they saw
that
he
was
talking
of
them.
\VS{46}And
though
they
had
a desire
to
take
him,
they
were
in
fear
of
the
people,
because
in
their eyes
he
was
a
prophet.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jesus,
talking
to
them
again
in stories,
said:
\VS{2}The
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
a certain
king,
who
made
a
feast
when
his
son
was married,
\VS{3}And
sent
out
his
servants
to get
in
the
guests
to
the
feast:
and
they
would
not
come.
\VS{4}Again
he
sent
out
other
servants,
with orders
to
say
to
the
guests,
See,
I
have
made
ready
my
feast:
my
oxen
and
my fat beasts
have
been put
to death,
and
all
things
are
ready:
come
to
the
feast.
\VS{5}But
they gave
no
attention,
and
went
about
their
business,
one
to
his
farm, another
to
his trade:
\VS{6}And
the
rest
put violent hands
on
his
servants,
and did evil
to
them,
and
put
them
to
death.
\VS{7}But
the
king
was
angry;
and
he
sent
his
armies,
and
those
who
had
put
his servants
to
death
he gave
to destruction, burning down
their
town
with fire.
\VS{8}Then
he
said
to
his
servants,
The
feast
is
ready
but
the
guests
were
not
good enough.
\VS{9}Go
then
to
the cross-roads,
and
get
all
those
whom
you see
to come
to
the bride-feast.
\VS{10}And
those
servants
went
out
into
the
streets,
and
got
together
all
those
whom
they
came across,
bad
and
good:
and
the
feast
was
full
of
guests.
\VS{11}But
when
the
king
came
in
to
see
the
guests,
he
saw
there
a
man
who
had
not
on
a guest's robe;
\VS{12}And
he
says
to
him,
Friend,
how
came
you
in
here
not
having
a guest's robe?
And
he
had
nothing
to
say.
\VS{13}Then
the
king
said
to
the
servants,
Put cords round
his
hands
and
feet
and
put
him
out
into
the dark;
there
will
be
weeping
and cries
of sorrow.
\VS{14}For
out
of
all
to whom
the
good news
has
come, only
a
small number
will get salvation.
\VS{15}Then
the
Pharisees
went
and
had
a meeting
to see
how
they might make use
of
his
words
to
take
him.
\VS{16}And
they
sent
to
him
their
disciples,
with
the
Herodians,
saying, Master,
we
see
that
you
are
true,
and
that
you
are
teaching
the
true
way
of
God,
and
have
no fear
of
anyone,
because
you
have
no
respect
for
a man's position.
\VS{17}Give
us,
then,
your opinion
of
this:
Is
it right
to
give tax
to
Caesar,
or
not?
\VS{18}But
Jesus saw
their trick
and
said, Oh false ones,
why
are
you attempting
to
put
me
in
the wrong?
\VS{19}Let
me see
the tax
money.
And
they gave
him
a penny.
\VS{20}And
he
said
to
them,
Whose
is
this
image
and name
on
it?
\VS{21}They
say
to
him, Caesar's.
Then
he
said
to
them,
Give
to
Caesar
the
things
which
are Caesar's,
and
to
God
the
things
which
are God's.
\VS{22}And
hearing
it,
they
were full
of
wonder,
and
went
away
from
him.
\VS{23}On
the
same
day
there
came
to
him
the
Sadducees,
who
say
that
there
is
no
coming back
from
the dead:
and
they put
a
question
to
him,
saying,
\VS{24}Master,
Moses
said,
If
a
man,
at
the time
of
his
death,
has
no
children,
let
his
brother
take
his
wife,
and
get
a family
for
his
brother;
\VS{25}Now
there
were
among
us
seven
brothers;
and
the
first
was
married
and
at
his death,
having
no
seed,
gave
his
wife
to
his
brother;
\VS{26}In
the
same
way
the
second
and
the
third, up
to
the
seventh.
\VS{27}And
last
of
all
the
woman came
to
her end.
\VS{28}When
they
come back
from
the dead,
then,
whose
wife
will
she
be
of
the
seven?
because
they
all
had
her.
\VS{29}But
Jesus
said
to
them
in
answer,
You
are
in error,
not having knowledge
of
the Writings,
or
of
the
power
of
God.
\VS{30}For
when
they
come back
from
the dead
there
are
no husbands
and wives,
but
they
are
as
the
angels
in
heaven.
\VS{31}But
about
the
dead coming back
to life,
have
you
no knowledge
of
what
was
said
to
you
by
God
in
the Writings:
\VS{32}I
am
the
God
of
Abraham,
and
the
God
of
Isaac,
and
the
God
of
Jacob?
God
is
not
the
God
of
the
dead
but
of
the
living.
\VS{33}And
the
people
hearing
it
were surprised
at
his
teaching.
\VS{34}But
the
Pharisees,
hearing
how
the mouths
of
the
Sadducees
had been stopped,
came
together;
\VS{35}And
one
of
them,
a teacher
of
the
law,
put
a
question
to
him,
testing
him,
and saying,
\VS{36}Master,
which
is
the chief rule
in
the
law?
\VS{37}And
he
said
to
him,
Have
love
for
the
Lord
your
God
with
all
your
heart,
and
with
all
your
soul,
and
with
all
your
mind.
\VS{38}This
is
the
first
and
greatest rule.
\VS{39}And
a
second
like
it
is
this,
Have
love
for
your neighbour
as
for
yourself.
\VS{40}On
these
two rules
all
the
law
and
the
prophets
are based.
\VS{41}Now
while
the
Pharisees
were
together,
Jesus put
a
question
to
them, saying,
\VS{42}What
is
your opinion
of
the
Christ?
whose
son
is
he?
They
say
to
him,
The
Son
of
David.
\VS{43}He
says
to
them,
How
then
does
David
in
the
Spirit
give
him
the
name
of
Lord,
saying,
\VS{44}The
Lord
said
to
my
Lord,
Be
seated
at
my
right
hand, till
I
put
under
your
feet
all
those
who
are
against
you?
\VS{45}If
David
then gives
him
the
name
of
Lord,
how
is
he
his
son?
\VS{46}And
no
one
was
able
to give
him
an
answer,
and
so great
was
their fear
of
him,
that
from
that
day
no
one put
any
more
questions
to
him.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Jesus
said
to
the
people
and
to
his
disciples:
\VS{2}The
scribes
and
the
Pharisees
have
the authority
of
Moses;
\VS{3}All
things,
then,
which
they
give
you orders
to
do,
these
do
and
keep:
but
do
not take
their
works
as
your example,
for
they
say
and
do
not.
\VS{4}They
make hard laws
and
put
great weights
on men's backs;
but
they
themselves
will
not
put
a
finger
to
them.
\VS{5}But
all
their
works
they
do
so
as
to
be
seen
by
men:
for
they
make
wide
their
phylacteries,
and
the edges
of
their robes,
\VS{6}And
the
things desired
by
them
are
the first
places
at feasts,
and
the
chief
seats
in
the
Synagogues,
\VS{7}And
words
of respect
in
the market-places,
and
to
be
named
by
men, Teacher.
\VS{8}But
you
may
not
be
named
Teacher:
for
one
is
your
teacher,
and
you
are
all
brothers.
\VS{9}And
give
no
man
the
name
of
father
on
earth:
because
one
is
your
Father,
who
is
in
heaven.
\VS{10}And
you
may
not
be
named guides:
because
one
is
your Guide,
even
Christ.
\VS{11}But
let
the
greatest among
you
be
your
servant.
\VS{12}And
whoever makes
himself high
will
be
made
low,
and
whoever makes
himself
low
will
be
made high.
\VS{13}But
a curse
is
on
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees, false
ones!
because
you
are shutting
the
kingdom
of
heaven
against
men:
for
you
do
not
go
in
yourselves,
and
those
who
are
going
in,
you keep
back.
\VS{14}[]
\VS{15}A curse
is
on
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees, false
ones!
for
you go
about
land
and
sea
to
get
one disciple
and,
having
him,
you
make
him
twice
as
much
a
son
of
hell
as
yourselves.
\VS{16}A curse
is
on
you,
blind
guides,
who
say,
Whoever takes
an
oath
by
the
Temple,
it
is
nothing;
but
whoever takes
an
oath
by
the
gold
of
the
Temple,
he
is
responsible.
\VS{17}You
foolish
ones
and
blind:
which
is
greater,
the
gold,
or
the
Temple
which makes
the
gold
holy?
\VS{18}And,
Whoever takes
an
oath
by
the
altar,
it
is
nothing;
but
whoever takes
an
oath
by
the
offering
which
is
on
it,
he
is
responsible.
\VS{19}You
blind
ones:
which
is
greater,
the
offering,
or
the
altar
which makes
the
offering
holy?
\VS{20}He,
then,
who takes
an
oath
by
the
altar, takes
it
by
the
altar
and
by
all
things
on
it.
\VS{21}And
he
who takes
an
oath
by
the
Temple, takes
it
by
the
Temple
and
by
him
whose house
it
is.
\VS{22}And
he
who takes
an
oath
by
heaven, takes
it
by
the seat
of
God,
and
by
him
who
is
seated
on
it.
\VS{23}A curse
is
on
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees, false
ones!
for
you
make
men
give
a tenth
of
all sorts
of sweet-smelling plants,
but
you
give
no thought
to
the more important
things
of
the
law, righteousness,
and
mercy,
and
faith;
but
it
is right
for
you
to
do
these,
and
not
to
let
the
others
be undone.
\VS{24}You
blind
guides,
who take out
a fly
from
your drink,
but make no trouble over
a
camel.
\VS{25}A curse
is
on
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees, false
ones!
for
you
make
clean
the
outside
of
the
cup
and
of
the plate,
but
inside
they
are
full
of violent behaviour
and uncontrolled desire.
\VS{26}You
blind
Pharisee,
first
make
clean
the
inside
of
the
cup
and
of
the plate,
so
that
the
outside
may
become equally
clean.
\VS{27}A curse
is
on
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees, false
ones!
for
you
are
like
the resting-places
of
the
dead,
which
are made white,
and
seem
beautiful
on
the
outside,
but
inside
are
full
of
dead men's
bones
and
of
all
unclean
things.
\VS{28}Even
so
you
seem
to
men
to
be
full
of righteousness,
but
inside
you
are
all false
and
full
of wrongdoing.
\VS{29}A curse
is
on
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees, false
ones!
because
you
put
up buildings
for housing
the dead bodies
of
the
prophets,
and make fair
the last resting-places
of good
men,
and say,
\VS{30}If
we
had
been living
in
the
days
of
our
fathers,
we
would
not
have taken
part
with
them
in
the
blood
of
the
prophets.
\VS{31}So
that
you
are
witnesses
against
yourselves
that
you
are
the
sons
of
those
who
put
the
prophets
to
death.
\VS{32}Make
full,
then,
the
measure
of
your
fathers.
\VS{33}You
snakes,
offspring
of
snakes,
how
will
you be kept
from
the punishment
of
hell?
\VS{34}For
this
reason,
I
send
you
prophets,
and
wise
men,
and
scribes:
some
of
them
you
will
put
to
death
and
put
on
the cross,
and
to
some
of
them
you
will give blows
in
your
Synagogues, driving
them
from
town
to
town;
\VS{35}So
that
on
you
may
come
all
the
blood
of
the
upright
on
the
earth,
from
the
blood
of
upright
Abel
to
the
blood
of Zachariah,
son
of Barachiah,
whom
you
put
to
death
between
the
Temple
and
the
altar.
\VS{36}Truly
I
say
to
you,
All
these
things
will
come
on
this
generation.
\VS{37}O
Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, putting
to
death
the
prophets,
and
stoning
those
who
are
sent
to
her!
Again
and
again
would
I
have taken
your
children
to
myself
as
a bird takes
her young ones
under
her
wings,
and
you
would
not!
\VS{38}See,
your
house
is made waste.
\VS{39}For
I
say
to
you,
You
will
not
see
me
from
this
time till
you
say,
A
blessing
on
him
who
comes
in
the
name
of
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{24}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jesus
went
out
of
the
Temple,
and
on
the
way
his
disciples
came
to
him, pointing
out
the
buildings
of
the
Temple.
\VS{2}But
he,
answering,
said
to
them,
See
you
not
all
these
things?
truly
I
say
to
you
that
here
there
will
not
be
one
stone resting
on
another,
which
will
not
be pulled
down.
\VS{3}And
while
he
was
seated
on
the
Mountain
of
Olives,
the
disciples
came
to
him
privately,
saying, Make clear
to
us,
when
will
these
things
be?
and
what
will
be
the
sign
of
your
coming
and
of
the
end
of
the
world?
\VS{4}And
Jesus
said
to
them
in
answer,
Take
care
that
you
are
not tricked.
\VS{5}For
people
will
come
in
my
name,
saying,
I
am
the
Christ;
and
a
number
will
be
turned
from
the true way through
them.
\VS{6}And
news
will
come
to
you
of
wars
and talk
of
wars:
do
not
be troubled,
for
these
things
have
to
be;
but
it
is
still
not
the
end.
\VS{7}For
nation
will
be moved
against
nation,
and
kingdom
against
kingdom,
and men
will
be
without food,
and
the earth
will
be shaking
in different
places;
\VS{8}But
all
these
things
are
the
first
of
the troubles.
\VS{9}Then
they
will
be cruel
to
you,
and
will
put
you
to
death:
and
you
will
be
hated
by
all
nations
because
of
my
name.
\VS{10}And
numbers
of
people
will
be
turned
from
the right way,
and
will give
one
another
up
and
have
hate
for
one
another.
\VS{11}And
a number
of
false
prophets
will come, causing error.
\VS{12}And
because wrongdoing
will
be
increased,
the
love
of
most
people
will become
cold.
\VS{13}But
he
who goes through
to
the
end
will
get
salvation.
\VS{14}And
this
good
news
of
the
kingdom
will
be given
through
all
the
world
for
a
witness
to
all
nations;
and
then
the
end
will
come.
\VS{15}When,
then,
you
see
in
the
holy
place
the unclean
thing
which makes destruction,
of
which word
was given
by
Daniel
the
prophet (let
this
be clear
to
the
reader),
\VS{16}Then let
those
who
are
in Judaea go
in flight
to
the
mountains:
\VS{17}Let
not
him
who
is
on
the house-top
go
down
to
take anything
out
of
his
house:
\VS{18}And let
not
him
who
is
in
the
field go
back
to
get
his
coat.
\VS{19}But
it
will
be hard
for women
who
are
with child
and
for
those
with
babies
at
the breast
in
those
days.
\VS{20}And say
a
prayer
that
your
flight
may
not
be
in
the
winter,
or
on
a
Sabbath.
\VS{21}Because
in
those days
there
will
be
great sorrow,
such
as
there
has
not
been
from
the start
of
the
world till
now,
or ever
will
be.
\VS{22}And
if
those
days
had
not
been
made
short
there
would
have
been
no
salvation
for
any,
but
because
of
the saints
those
days
will
be
made
short.
\VS{23}Then
if
any
man
says
to
you,
See,
here
is
the
Christ,
or,
Here;
do
not put
faith
in
him;
\VS{24}For there
will come
up
false
Christs,
and
false
prophets,
who
will
do
great
signs
and
wonders;
so
that
if
possible
even
the saints
might
be tricked.
\VS{25}See,
I
have made
it clear
to
you before
it comes about.
\VS{26}If,
then,
they
say
to
you,
See,
he
is
in
the waste land;
go
not
out:
See,
he
is
in
the
inner
rooms; put
no
faith
in
it.
\VS{27}Because
as
in
a thunderstorm
the bright
light
coming
from
the
east
is
seen
even
in
the
west;
so
will
be
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
man.
\VS{28}Wherever
the
dead
body
is,
there
will
the eagles
come
together.
\VS{29}But straight
away,
after
the
trouble
of
those
days,
the
sun
will
be made dark
and
the
moon
will
not
give
her
light
and
the
stars
will
come
down
from
heaven
and
the
powers
of
heaven
will
be moved:
\VS{30}And
then
the
sign
of
the
Son
of
man
will
be
seen
in
heaven:
and
then
all
the nations
of
the
earth
will
have sorrow,
and
they
will
see
the
Son
of
man
coming
on
the
clouds
of
heaven
with
power
and
great
glory.
\VS{31}And
he
will
send
out
his
angels
with
a
great sound
of
a horn,
and
they
will get
his saints
together
from
the
four
winds,
from
one
end
of
heaven
to
the
other.
\VS{32}Now
take
an example
from
the fig-tree:
when
her
branch
has
become soft
and
puts
out
its
leaves,
you
are certain
that
the
summer
is
near;
\VS{33}Even
so,
when
you
see
all
these
things,
you
may
be certain
that
he
is
near,
even
at
the
doors.
\VS{34}Truly
I
say
to
you,
This
generation
will
not
come
to
an
end till
all
these
things
are
complete.
\VS{35}Heaven
and
earth
will
come
to
an end,
but
my
words
will
not
come
to
an end.
\VS{36}But
of
that
day
and
hour
no
one
has knowledge,
not
even
the
angels
in
heaven,
or
the
Son,
but
the
Father
only.
\VS{37}And
as
were
the
days
of
Noah,
so
will
be
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
man.
\VS{38}Because
as
in
those
days
before
the overflowing
of
the waters,
they
were feasting
and taking wives
and getting
married, till
the
day
when
Noah
went
into
the
ark,
\VS{39}And
they
had
no care till
the waters
came
and
took
them
all
away;
so
will
be
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
man.
\VS{40}Then
two
men
will
be
in
the
field;
one
is
taken,
and
one
let
go;
\VS{41}Two
women
will
be crushing grain;
one
is
taken,
and
one
let
go.
\VS{42}Be
watching,
then!
for
you
have
no knowledge
on
what
day
your
Lord
will
come.
\VS{43}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{44}Be
ready
then;
for
at
a
time
which
you
have
no
thought
of
the
Son
of
man
will
come.
\VS{45}Who
is
the true
and
wise
servant,
whom
his
lord
has
put
over
those
in
his house,
to
give
them
their
food
at
the
right
time?
\VS{46}A blessing
on
that
servant,
who
will
be
doing
so
when
his
lord
comes.
\VS{47}Truly,
I
say
to
you,
he
will
put
him
over
all
he
has.
\VS{48}But
if
that
evil
servant
says
in
his
heart,
My
lord
is
a
long
time
in
coming;
\VS{49}And
is cruel
to
the
other
servants, taking
his pleasure
with
those
who
are overcome
with wine;
\VS{50}The
lord
of
that
servant
will
come
in
a
day
when
he
is
not
looking
for
him,
and
in
an
hour
of
which
he
has
no knowledge,
\VS{51}And
will
have
him
cut
in two,
and
will give
him
a
part
in
the fate
of
the false ones:
there
will
be
weeping
and cries
of sorrow.

\par }\Chap{25}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
the
kingdom
of
heaven
will be
like
ten
virgins,
the friends
of
the bride,
who
took
their lights,
and
went
out
with
the
purpose
of meeting
the husband.
\VS{2}And
five
of
them
were
foolish,
and
five
were
wise.
\VS{3}For
the
foolish,
when
they
took
their lights,
took
no
oil
with
them.
\VS{4}But
the
wise
took
oil
in
their vessels
with
their lights.
\VS{5}Now
the husband
was
a
long
time
in
coming,
and
they
all went
to
sleep.
\VS{6}But
in
the
middle
of
the
night
there
is
a cry,
The husband
comes!
Go
out
to
him.
\VS{7}Then
all
those
virgins
got
up,
and made ready
their lights.
\VS{8}And
the
foolish
said
to
the
wise,
Give
us
of
your
oil;
for
our lights
are
going
out.
\VS{9}But
the
wise
made
answer,
saying,
There
may
not
be
enough
for
us
and
you;
it
would
be better
for
you
to
go
to
the traders
and get oil
for
yourselves.
\VS{10}And
while
they
went
to get oil,
the master
came;
and
those
who
were
ready
went
in
with
him
to
the
feast:
and
the
door
was
shut.
\VS{11}After
that
the
other
virgins
came,
saying,
Lord,
Lord,
let
us
in.
\VS{12}But
he
made
answer
and
said,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
I
have
no knowledge
of
you.
\VS{13}Keep
watch,
then,
because
you
are
not certain
of
the
day
or
of
the
hour.
\VS{14}For
it
is
as
when
a
man,
about
to take
a
journey, got
his
servants
together,
and
gave
them
his
property.
\VS{15}And
to
one
he
gave
five
talents,
to
another
two,
to
another
one;
to
everyone
as
he
was able;
and
he
went
on
his
journey.
\VS{16}Straight
away
he
who
had
been given
the
five
talents
went
and
did trade
with
them,
and
made
five
more.
\VS{17}In
the
same
way he
who
had been given
the
two got
two
more.
\VS{18}But
he
who
was given
the
one
went
away
and
put
it
in
a hole
in
the
earth,
and kept
his lord's
money
in
a
secret place.
\VS{19}Now
after
a
long
time
the
lord
of
those
servants
comes,
and makes
up
his
account
with
them.
\VS{20}And
he
who
had
the
five
talents
came
with
his
other
five
talents,
saying,
Lord,
you
gave
into
my care
five
talents:
see,
I
have got
five
more.
\VS{21}His
lord
said
to
him,
Well
done,
good
and true
servant:
you
have
been true
in
a
small
thing,
I
will give
you control
over
great
things: take
your
part
in
the
joy
of
your
lord.
\VS{22}And
he
who
had
the
two
talents
came
and
said,
Lord,
you
gave
into
my care
two
talents:
see,
I
have got
two
more.
\VS{23}His
lord
said
to
him,
Well
done,
good
and true
servant:
you
have
been true
in
a
small
thing,
I
will give
you control
over
great
things: take
your
part
in
the
joy
of
your
lord.
\VS{24}And
he
who
had
had
the
one
talent
came
and
said,
Lord,
I
had knowledge
that
you
are
a
hard
man, getting
in grain
where
you
have
not
put seed,
and making profits
for
which
you
have done
no work:
\VS{25}And
I
was
in
fear,
and
went
away,
and put
your
talent
in
the
earth:
here
is
what
is
yours.
\VS{26}But
his
lord
in
answer
said
to
him,
You
are
a
bad
and unready
servant;
if
you
had knowledge
that
I get
in grain
where
I
did
not put seed,
and
make profits
for
which
I
have done
no work,
\VS{27}Why,
then,
did
you
not
put
my
money
in
the
bank,
and
at
my
coming
I
would
have got
back
what
is
mine
with
interest?
\VS{28}Take
away,
then,
his
talent
and
give
it
to
him
who
has
the
ten
talents.
\VS{29}For
to
everyone
who
has
will
be
given,
and
he
will
have
more:
but
from
him
who
has
not,
even
what
he
has
will
be
taken
away.
\VS{30}And
put
out
the
servant
who
is
of no profit
into
the
outer dark:
there
will
be
weeping
and cries
of sorrow.
\VS{31}But
when
the
Son
of
man
comes
in
his
glory,
and
all
the
angels
with
him,
then
will
he
be
seated
in
his
glory:
\VS{32}And
before
him
all
the
nations
will come
together;
and
they
will
be parted
one
from
another,
as
the
sheep
are parted
from
the
goats
by
the keeper.
\VS{33}And
he
will
put
the
sheep
on
his
right,
but
the
goats
on
the
left.
\VS{34}Then
will
the
King
say
to
those
on
his
right,
Come,
you
who
have
the
blessing
of
my
Father, into
the
kingdom
made
ready
for
you
before
the
world
was:
\VS{35}For
I
was
in need
of
food,
and
you
gave
it
to
me:
I
was
in need
of
drink,
and
you
gave
it
to
me:
I
was wandering,
and
you took
me
in;
\VS{36}I
had no
clothing,
and
you gave
it
to
me:
when
I
was
ill,
or
in
prison,
you
came
to
me.
\VS{37}Then
will
the
upright make
answer
to
him,
saying,
Lord,
when
did
we
see
you
in need
of food,
and
give
it
to
you?
or
in need
of
drink,
and
give
it
to
you?
\VS{38}And
when
did
we
see
you wandering,
and take
you
in?
or
without
clothing,
and give
it
to
you?
\VS{39}And
when
did
we
see
you
ill,
or
in
prison,
and
come
to
you?
\VS{40}And
the
King
will
make
answer
and
say
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
Because
you
did
it
to
the
least
of
these
my
brothers,
you
did
it
to
me.
\VS{41}Then
will
he
say
to
those
on
the
left,
Go
from
me,
you
cursed ones,
into
the
eternal
fire
which
is
ready
for
the Evil
One
and
his
angels:
\VS{42}For
I
was
in need
of
food,
and
you
gave
it
not
to
me;
I
was
in need
of
drink,
and
you
gave
it
not
to
me:
\VS{43}I
was wandering,
and
you took
me
not
in;
without
clothing,
and
you gave
me
no
clothing; ill,
and
in
prison,
and
you
came
not
to
me.
\VS{44}Then
will
they
make
answer,
saying,
Lord,
when
did
we
see
you
in need
of food
or drink,
or wandering,
or
without
clothing,
or ill,
or
in
prison,
and
did
not
take
care
of
you?
\VS{45}Then
will
he
make
answer
to
them,
saying,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
Because
you
did
it
not
to
the
least
of
these,
you
did
it
not
to
me.
\VS{46}And
these
will
go
away
into
eternal
punishment;
but
the
upright
into
eternal
life.

\par }\Chap{26}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
Jesus
had
come
to
the
end
of
all
these
words,
he
said
to
his
disciples,
\VS{2}After
two
days
is
the
Passover,
and
the
Son
of
man
will
be
given
up
to
the death
of
the cross.
\VS{3}Then
the
chief
priests
and
the rulers
of
the
people
came
together
in
the
house
of
the
high
priest,
who
was
named
Caiaphas.
\VS{4}And
they made designs
together
to
take
Jesus
by
some trick,
and
put
him
to
death.
\VS{5}But
they
said,
Not
while
the
feast
is going
on,
for fear
of trouble
among
the
people.
\VS{6}Now
when
Jesus
was
in
Bethany
in
the
house
of
Simon
the
leper,
\VS{7}There
came
to
him
a
woman
having
a bottle
of
perfume
of
great price,
and
she put
the
perfume
on
his
head
when
he
was
seated
at table.
\VS{8}But
when
the
disciples
saw
it
they
were angry,
saying,
To
what purpose
is
this
waste?
\VS{9}For
we
might
have got
much money
for
this
and
given
it
to
the
poor.
\VS{10}But
Jesus, seeing
it,
said
to
them,
Why
are
you troubling
the
woman?
she
has
done
a kind act
to
me.
\VS{11}For
the
poor
you
have ever
with
you,
but
me
you
have
not
for ever.
\VS{12}For
in
putting
this
perfume
on
my
body,
she
did
it
to
make
me ready
for
my
last resting-place.
\VS{13}Truly
I
say
to
you,
Wherever
this
good
news goes
out
in
all
the
world,
what
this
woman
has
done
will
be
talked
of
in
memory
of
her.
\VS{14}Then
one
of
the
twelve,
who
was
named
Judas
Iscariot,
went
to
the
chief
priests
and
said,
\VS{15}What
will
you
give
me,
if
I
give
him
up
to
you?
And
the price
was
fixed
at
thirty bits
of
silver.
\VS{16}And
from
that
time
he
was watching
for
a chance
to give
him
into
their
hands.
\VS{17}Now
on
the
first day
of
unleavened bread
the
disciples
came
to
Jesus,
saying,
Where
are
we
to
make
ready
for
you
to take
the
Passover meal?
\VS{18}And
he
said
to
them,
Go
into
the
town
to such
a
man,
and
say
to
him,
The Master
says,
My
time
is
near:
I
will
keep
the
Passover
at
your house
with
my
disciples.
\VS{19}And
the
disciples
did
as
Jesus
had
said
to
them;
and
they
made
ready
the
Passover.
\VS{20}Now
when
evening
was
come,
he
was
seated
at table
with
the
twelve
disciples;
\VS{21}And
while
they
were taking food,
he
said,
Truly
I
say
to
you
that
one
of
you
will
be false
to
me.
\VS{22}And
they
were
very
said,
and
said
to
him,
one
by
one,
Is
it
I,
Lord?
\VS{23}And
he
made
answer
and
said,
He
who puts
his
hand
into
the plate
with
me,
the
same
will
be false
to
me.
\VS{24}The
Son
of
man
goes,
even
as
the Writings
say
of
him:
but
a curse
is
on
that
man
through
whom
the
Son
of
man
is
given
up;
it
would
have
been
well
for
that
man
if
he
had
never
come
into
the world.
\VS{25}And
Judas,
who
was false
to
him,
made
answer
and
said,
Is
it
I, Master?
He
says
to
him,
Yes.
\VS{26}And
when
they
were
taking
food,
Jesus
took
bread
and,
after
blessing
it,
he
gave
the
broken
bread
to
the
disciples
and
said,
Take
it;
this
is
my
body.
\VS{27}And
he
took
a
cup
and, having
given praise,
he
gave
it
to
them,
saying,
\VS{28}Take
of
it,
all
of
you,
for
this
is my
blood
of
the testament,
which
is given
for
men
for
the
forgiveness
of
sins.
\VS{29}But
I
say
to
you
that
from
now
I
will
not take
of
this
fruit
of
the
vine, till
that
day
when
I take
it
new
with
you
in
my Father's
kingdom.
\VS{30}And
after
a song
of
praise
to God,
they
went
out
to
the
Mountain
of
Olives.
\VS{31}Then
said
Jesus
to
them,
All
of
you
will
be turned
away
from
me
this
night:
for
it
is
said
in
the Writings,
I
will put
to death
the keeper
of
the
sheep,
and
the
sheep
of
the
flock
will
be put
to flight.
\VS{32}But
after
I
am come
back
from
the dead,
I
will
go
before
you
into
Galilee.
\VS{33}But
Peter
made
answer
and
said
to
him,
Though
all
may
be turned
away
from
you,
I
will
never
be turned
away.
\VS{34}Jesus
said
to
him,
Truly
I
say
to
you
that
this
night,
before
the hour
of
the cock's cry,
you
will
say
three
times
that
you
have no knowledge
of
me.
\VS{35}Peter
says
to
him,
Even
if
I
am
put
to
death
with
you,
I
will
not
be false
to
you.
So
said
all
the
disciples.
\VS{36}Then
comes
Jesus
with
them
to
a
place
named
Gethsemane,
and
says
to
his
disciples,
Be
seated
here,
while
I
go
over
there
for
prayer.
\VS{37}And
he
took
with
him
Peter
and
the
two
sons
of
Zebedee,
and
became
sad
and
very
troubled.
\VS{38}Then
says
he
to
them,
My
soul
is
very
sad,
even
to
death:
keep
watch
with
me
here.
\VS{39}And
he
went
forward
a
little,
and
falling
down
on
his
face
in
prayer,
he
said, O
my
Father,
if
it
is
possible,
let
this
cup
go
from
me;
but
let
not
my pleasure,
but
yours
be done.
\VS{40}And
he
comes
to
the
disciples,
and sees
that
they
are
sleeping,
and
says
to
Peter,
What,
were
you
not
able
to
keep
watch
with
me
one
hour?
\VS{41}Keep
watch
with
prayer,
so
that
you
may
not
be put
to
the test:
the
spirit truly
is ready,
but
the
flesh
is feeble.
\VS{42}Again,
a
second
time
he
went
away,
and
said
in
prayer, O
my
Father,
if
this
may
not
go
from
me
without
my
taking
it,
let
your pleasure
be
done.
\VS{43}And
he
came
again
and saw
them
sleeping,
for
their
eyes
were tired.
\VS{44}And
he
went
away
from
them
again,
and
a
third
time
said
the
same
prayer.
\VS{45}Then
he
comes
to
the
disciples;
and
says
to
them,
Go
on
sleeping
now,
and
take
your
rest:
for
the
hour
is
come,
and
the
Son
of
man
is
given
into
the
hands
of evil
men.
\VS{46}Up,
let
us be
going:
see,
he
who gives
me
up
is
near.
\VS{47}And
while
he
was
still
talking,
Judas,
one
of
the
twelve,
came,
and
with
him
a band armed
with
swords
and sticks,
from
the
chief
priests
and
those
in authority over
the
people.
\VS{48}Now
the false
one
had
given
them
a
sign
saying,
The
one
to
whom
I
give
a
kiss,
that
is
he:
take
him.
\VS{49}And straight away
he
came
to
Jesus
and
said, Master!
and gave
him
a
kiss.
\VS{50}And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Friend,
do
that
for
which
you
have
come.
Then
they
came
and
put
hands
on
Jesus,
and
took
him.
\VS{51}And
one
of
those
who
were
with
Jesus put
out
his
hand,
and took
out
his
sword
and gave
the
servant
of
the
high
priest
a blow, cutting
off
his
ear.
\VS{52}Then
says
Jesus
to
him,
Put
up
your
sword
again
into
its
place:
for
all
those
who
take
the
sword
will come
to
death
by
the
sword.
\VS{53}Does
it
not
seem possible
to
you
that
if
I
make request
to
my
Father
he
will
even
now send
me
an army
of
angels?
\VS{54}But
how
then
would
the Writings
come
true,
which say
that
so
it
has
to
be?
\VS{55}In
that
hour
Jesus
said
to
the
people,
Have
you
come
out
as
against
a thief
with
swords
and sticks
to
take
me?
I
was
teaching
every
day
in
the
Temple
and
you
took
me
not.
\VS{56}But
all
this
has
taken
place
so
that
the writings
of
the
prophets
might
come true.
Then
all
his
disciples
went
from
him
in flight.
\VS{57}And
those
who
had made
Jesus prisoner
took
him
away
to
the house
of
Caiaphas,
the
high
priest,
where
the
scribes
and
those
in authority over
the
people
had come
together.
\VS{58}But
Peter
went
after
him
at
a
distance,
to
the
house
of
the
high
priest,
and
went
in
and took
his seat
with
the
servants,
to
see
the
end.
\VS{59}Now
the
chief
priests
and
all
the
Sanhedrin
were
looking
for false witness
against
Jesus,
so
that
they
might
put
him
to
death;
\VS{60}And
they
were
not able
to
get
it,
though
a
number
of false witnesses
came.
\VS{61}But later there
came two
who
said,
This
man
said,
I
am
able
to
give
the
Temple
of
God
to destruction,
and
to put
it
up
again
in
three
days.
\VS{62}And
the
high
priest
got
up
and
said
to
him,
Have
you
no
answer?
what
is
it
which
these
say
against
you?
\VS{63}But
Jesus
said
not
a word.
And
the
high
priest
said
to
him,
I put
you
on oath,
by
the
living
God,
that
you
will
say
to
us
if
you
are
the
Christ,
the
Son
of
God.
\VS{64}Jesus
says
to
him,
You
say
so:
but
I
say
to
you,
From
now
you
will
see
the
Son
of
man
seated
at
the
right
hand
of
power,
and
coming
on
the
clouds
of
heaven.
\VS{65}Then
the
high
priest, violently parting
his
robes,
said,
He
has
said
evil
against
God:
what
more
need
have
we
of
witnesses?
for
now
his
words
against
God
have
come
to
your
ears:
\VS{66}What
is
your opinion?
They
made
answer
and
said,
It
is right
for
him
to
be put
to
death.
\VS{67}Then
they put shame
on
him,
and
were cruel
to
him:
and
some gave
him blows, saying,
\VS{68}Be
a prophet, O
Christ,
and
say
who gave
you
a blow!
\VS{69}Now
Peter
was
seated
in
the open square
outside
the
house:
and
a
servant-girl
came
to
him,
saying,
You
were
with
Jesus
the Galilaean.
\VS{70}But
he
said
before
them
all
that
it
was false,
saying,
I
have
no knowledge
of
what
you
say.
\VS{71}And
when
he
had
gone
out
into
the doorway,
another
saw
him
and
says
to
those
who
were
there,
This
man
was
with
Jesus
the
Nazarene.
\VS{72}And
again
he
said
with
an
oath,
I
have
no knowledge
of
the
man.
\VS{73}And
after
a
little time
those
who
were
near
came
and
said
to
Peter,
Truly
you
are
one
of
them;
because
your
talk
is witness
against
you.
\VS{74}Then
with curses
and oaths
he
said,
I
have
no knowledge
of
the
man.
And straight away
there came
the cry
of
a cock.
\VS{75}And
the
word
of
Jesus
came back
to
Peter,
when
he
said,
Before
the hour
of
the cock's cry,
you
will
say
three
times
that
you
have no knowledge
of
me.
And
he
went
out,
weeping
bitterly.

\par }\Chap{27}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
it
was morning,
all
the
chief
priests
and
those
in authority
took thought
together
with
the
purpose
of
putting
Jesus
to
death.
\VS{2}And
they
put cords
on
him
and
took
him
away,
and
gave
him
up
to
Pilate,
the ruler.
\VS{3}Then
Judas,
who
was false
to
him,
seeing
that
he
was
to
be
put
to death,
in
his
regret took
back
the
thirty bits
of
silver
to
the
chief
priests
and
those
in authority,
\VS{4}Saying,
I
have done wrong
in giving
into
your
hands
an upright man.
But
they
said,
What
is
that
to
us?
it
is
your business.
\VS{5}And
he put
down
the
silver
in
the
Temple
and
went out,
and put
himself
to death
by hanging.
\VS{6}And
the
chief
priests
took
the
silver
and
said,
It
is
not
right
to
put
it
in
the
Temple store
for
it
is
the
price
of
blood.
\VS{7}And
they made
a decision
to get
with
the silver
the potter's
field,
as
a
place
for
the dead
of
other countries.
\VS{8}For
this cause
that
field
was
named,
The
field
of
blood,
to
this
day.
\VS{9}Then
came true
that
which
was
said
by
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
And
they
took
the
thirty bits
of
silver,
the
price
of
him
who
was valued
by
the children
of
Israel;
\VS{10}And
they
gave
them
for
the potter's
field,
as
I
had word
from
the
Lord.
\VS{11}And
Jesus
was
before
the ruler,
who
put
a
question
to
him,
Are
you
the
King
of
the
Jews?
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
You
say
so.
\VS{12}But
when
the
chief
priests
and
those
in authority
made statements
against
him,
he gave
no
answer.
\VS{13}Then
says
Pilate
to
him,
Do
you
give
no attention
to
what
their witnesses
say
against
you?
\VS{14}And
he gave
him
no
answer,
not
even
a
word:
so
that
the ruler
was
greatly
surprised.
\VS{15}Now
at
the
feast
it
was
the
way
for
the ruler
to
let
free
to
the
people
one
prisoner,
at
their selection.
\VS{16}And
they
had
then
an important
prisoner, whose name
was
Barabbas.
\VS{17}So
when
they
came
together,
Pilate
said
to
them,
Whom
will
you
have?
Barabbas,
or
Jesus,
who
is
named
Christ?
\VS{18}For
he
saw
that
for
envy
they
had
given
him
up.
\VS{19}And
while
he
was
on
the judge's
seat,
his
wife
sent
to
him,
saying,
Have
nothing
to
do
with
that
upright
man,
for
I
have
had
much trouble
this
day
in
a
dream
because
of
him.
\VS{20}Now
the
chief
priests
and
those
in authority got
the
people
to make
request
for
Barabbas,
and
for
Jesus
to
be
put
to
death.
\VS{21}But
the ruler
made
answer
and
said
to
them,
Which
of
the
two
is
it
your pleasure
that
I
let
go
free?
And
they
said,
Barabbas.
\VS{22}Pilate
says
to
them,
What,
then, am
I
to
do
with
Jesus,
who
is
named
Christ?
They
all
say,
Let
him
be
put
to death
on
the cross.
\VS{23}And
he
said,
Why,
what
evil
has
he
done?
But
they
gave loud
cries,
saying,
To
the cross
with
him!
\VS{24}So
when
Pilate
saw
that
he
was able
to
do
nothing,
but
that trouble
was working up,
he
took
water
and, washing
his
hands
before
the
people,
said,
The
blood
of
this upright
man
is
not
on
my
hands:
you
are responsible.
\VS{25}And
all
the
people
made
answer
and
said,
Let
his
blood
be
on
us,
and
on
our
children.
\VS{26}Then
he
let
Barabbas
go
free:
but
after having
Jesus whipped,
he
gave
him
up
to be
put
to death
on
the cross.
\VS{27}Then
the ruler's armed
men
took
Jesus
into
the open square,
and got
all
their band
together.
\VS{28}And
they
took
off
his clothing,
and
put
on
him
a red
robe.
\VS{29}And
they
made
a
crown
of
thorns
and
put
it
on
his
head,
and
put
a
rod
in
his
right
hand,
and
they went
down
on
their
knees
before
him,
and
made sport
of
him,
saying, Long life
to
the
King
of
the
Jews.
\VS{30}And
they
put shame
on
him,
and gave
him blows
on
the
head
with
the
rod.
\VS{31}And
when
they
had made sport
of
him,
they
took
the
robe
off
him,
and
put
his
clothing
on
him,
and
took
him
away
to
put
him
on
the cross.
\VS{32}And
while
they
were
coming
out,
they saw
a
man
of
Cyrene,
Simon
by
name,
and
they made
him
go
with
them,
so
that
he might
take
up
his
cross.
\VS{33}And
when
they
came
to
the
place
named
Golgotha,
that
is
to
say, Dead Man's Head,
\VS{34}They
gave
him
wine
mixed
with bitter
drink:
and
after
tasting
it,
he took
no
more.
\VS{35}And
when
they
had
put
him
on
the cross,
they made division
of
his
clothing
among
them
by
the decision
of chance.
\VS{36}And
they
were
seated
there
watching
him.
\VS{37}And
they
put up
over
his
head
the statement
of
his crime
in
writing,
THIS
IS
JESUS
THE
KING
OF
THE
JEWS.
\VS{38}Then
two thieves
were put
on crosses
with
him,
one
on
the
right
and
one
on
the
left.
\VS{39}And
those
who went
by said bitter words
to
him,
shaking
their
heads
and saying,
\VS{40}You
who
would
give
the
Temple
to destruction
and put
it
up
again
in
three
days,
get
yourself free:
if
you
are
the
Son
of
God,
come
down
from
the
cross.
\VS{41}In
the
same
way,
the
chief
priests, making sport
of
him,
with
the
scribes
and
those
in authority,
said,
\VS{42}A saviour
of
others,
he
has
no
salvation
for
himself.
If
he
is
the
King
of
Israel,
let
him
now
come
down
from
the
cross,
and
we
will
have
faith
in
him.
\VS{43}He
put
his faith
in
God;
let
God
be
his saviour
now,
if
he
will
have
him;
for
he
said,
I
am
the
Son
of
God.
\VS{44}And
the thieves
who
were
on
the crosses
said evil
words
to
him.
\VS{45}Now
from
the
sixth
hour
it
was dark
over
all
the
land till
the ninth
hour.
\VS{46}And
about
the ninth
hour
Jesus gave
a
loud
cry,
saying,
Eli,
Eli,
lama
sabachthani?
that
is,
My
God,
my
God,
why
are
you turned away
from
me?
\VS{47}And
some
of
those
who
were near
by,
hearing
it,
said,
This
man
is
crying
to
Elijah.
\VS{48}And straight away
one
of
them went
quickly,
and
took
a
sponge,
and
made
it full
of bitter
wine,
and
put
it
on
a
rod
and
gave
him
drink.
\VS{49}And
the
rest
said,
Let
him be;
let
us
see
if
Elijah
will
come
to
his help.
\VS{50}And
Jesus
gave
another
loud
cry,
and
gave up
his
spirit.
\VS{51}And
the
curtain
of
the
Temple
was parted
in
two
from
end
to
end;
and
there
was
an earth-shock;
and
the
rocks
were broken;
\VS{52}And
the resting-places
of
the
dead came
open;
and
the
bodies
of
a number
of
sleeping
saints came
to life;
\VS{53}And
coming
out
of
their resting-places,
after
he
had
come
again
from
the dead,
they
went
into
the
holy
town
and
were seen
by
a
number
of
people.
\VS{54}Now
the captain
and
those
who
were
with
him
watching
Jesus,
when
they
saw
the earth-shock
and
the
things
which
were
done,
were
in great
fear
and
said,
Truly
this
was
a
son
of
God.
\VS{55}And
a
number
of
women
were
there,
watching
from
a
distance,
who
had
come
with
Jesus
from
Galilee, waiting
on
his needs.
\VS{56}Among
whom
was
Mary
Magdalene,
and
Mary,
the
mother
of
James
and Joses,
and
the
mother
of
the
sons
of
Zebedee.
\VS{57}And
in
the
evening,
there
came
a
man
of wealth
from Arimathaea,
Joseph
by name,
who
was
a
disciple
of
Jesus:
\VS{58}This
man
went
in
to
Pilate,
and
made
a
request
for
the
body
of
Jesus.
Then
Pilate
gave
orders
for
it
to
be
given
to
him.
\VS{59}And
Joseph
took
the
body, folding
it
in
clean
linen,
\VS{60}And
put
it
in
the resting-place
which
had
been
cut out
of
the
rock
for
himself;
and
after rolling
a
great
stone
to
the
door
of
it
he
went
away.
\VS{61}And
Mary
Magdalene
was
there,
and
the
other
Mary,
seated
by
the
place
of
the dead.
\VS{62}Now
on
the
day
after
the getting ready
of
the Passover,
the
chief
priests
and
Pharisees
came
together
to
Pilate,
\VS{63}Saying,
Sir,
we
have
in mind
how
that false
man
said,
while
he
was
still
living,
After
three
days
I
will come
again
from
the dead.
\VS{64}Give
orders,
then,
that
the place where
his body
is
may
be
made safe till
the
third
day,
for fear
that
his
disciples
come
and take
him
away secretly
and
say
to
the
people,
He
has
come back
from
the
dead:
and
the
last
error
will
be
worse
than
the
first.
\VS{65}Pilate
said
to
them,
You
have watchmen;
go
and
make
it
as safe
as
you
are
able.
\VS{66}So
they
went,
and
made safe
the place where
his body
was, putting
a stamp
on
the
stone,
and
the watchmen
were
with
them.

\par }\Chap{28}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
late
on
the
Sabbath,
when
the
dawn
of
the
first
day
of
the
week
was
near,
Mary
Magdalene
and
the
other
Mary
came
to
see
the place
where
his
body
was.
\VS{2}And
there
was
a
great earth-shock;
for
an
angel
of
the
Lord
came
down
from
heaven
and, rolling back
the
stone,
took
his seat
on
it.
\VS{3}His form
was shining
like
the light,
and
his
clothing
was
white
as
snow:
\VS{4}And
for
fear
of
him
the watchmen
were shaking,
and
became
as
dead
men.
\VS{5}And
the
angel
said
to
the
women,
Have
no
fear:
for
I
see
that
you
are
searching
for
Jesus,
who
was put
to death
on
the cross.
\VS{6}He
is
not
here,
for
he
has
come
to life
again,
even
as
he
said.
Come,
see
the Lord's resting-place.
\VS{7}And
go
quickly
and
give
his
disciples
the news
that
he
has come
back
from
the
dead,
and
is
going
before
you
into
Galilee;
there
you
will
see
him,
as
I
have
said
to
you.
\VS{8}And
they
went
away
quickly,
with
fear
and
great
joy,
to give
his
disciples
the news.
\VS{9}And
on
the
way,
Jesus
came
to
them,
saying,
Be
glad.
And
they
came
and put
their hands
on
his
feet,
and gave
him
worship.
\VS{10}Then
said
Jesus
to
them,
Have
no
fear:
go
and
give
word
to
my
brothers
to
go
into
Galilee,
and
there
they
will
see
me.
\VS{11}Now,
while
they
were
going,
some
of
the watchmen
came
into
the
town
and gave news
to
the
chief
priests
of
all
the
things
which
had
taken
place.
\VS{12}And
when
they
had come
together
with
those
in authority,
and
had made
their decision,
they
gave much
money
to
the watchmen, saying,
\VS{13}Say,
His
disciples
came
by
night
and took
him
away secretly
while
we
were
sleeping.
\VS{14}And
if
this
comes
to
the ruler's
ears,
we
will see
that
he
does
not
make
you responsible.
\VS{15}So
they
took
the
money,
and
did
as
they
had
been ordered:
and
this
account
has
been current
among
the
Jews till
the
present
time.
\VS{16}But
the
eleven
disciples
went
into
Galilee,
to
the
mountain
where
Jesus
had given
them orders
to
go.
\VS{17}And
when
they
saw
him
they gave
him
worship:
but
some
were
in doubt.
\VS{18}And
Jesus
came
to
them
and
said,
All
authority
has
been
given
to
me
in
heaven
and
on
earth.
\VS{19}Go
then,
and
make
disciples
of
all
